Great Qin Empress's Infrastructure Handbook

Chapter 198 Convincing the 2 Prime Ministers

Ying Zheng's eyes widened, and he directly took the mirror from Zhao Qingrui's hand.

Looking at the person in the mirror, is this yourself?This was the first time he saw his true appearance, which was countless times clearer than the smoothest polished bronze mirror.

"You want to make such a mirror?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui, he had never seen such a clear mirror.

"That's right, does the emperor support you?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng expectantly, as long as he got the support of his father, nothing else would be a problem.

"How much does this mirror cost?" He played with the mirror in his hand. Although the mirror was not big and the style was simple, he knew the value of the mirror.

As long as this mirror is released, there will be countless people rushing to buy it.

Zhao Qingrui talked about the things to be used, and there must be a lot of investment in the early stage.

Listening to Zhao Qingrui's words, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought. This thing is sure to make money. Even if the price of this mirror is skyrocketing, there are probably people rushing to buy it, but he won't worry about selling it.

If you do, it is also possible.

"Royal father likes this mirror, and I even sent someone to send a full-length mirror to the palace, which is much bigger than this." Zhao Qingrui squeezed his shoulders.

"It's still a widow's filial daughter." Ying Zheng smiled, and would give him a copy of any good things the girl had, and Ying Zheng was very happy in his heart.

He has no shortage of things, but his daughter thinks of him for everything, even if he wants to, it's hard for him not to be partial.

"That's right, father wants to support my son, right? This son is also generating income for the treasury." Zhao Qingrui looked at him expectantly.

"Zhao Gao, go and call Li Si and Feng Quji over here, I have something important to discuss with them." Fingertips whirled on the mirror, and after a moment of contemplation, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao.

Ying Zheng is really interested now, if this thing is made, it will definitely make a lot of money.

He wants to fight, but if he relies on Daqin's current speed of accumulating money and food, he doesn't know when he will have to wait for the imperial conquest.

Seeing that her father agreed, Zhao Qingrui's goal was also achieved.

After a while, Li Si and Feng Quji hurried over.

"Your Majesty summoned the ministers to wait at this time, but what's the matter?" Feng Quji glanced at Zhao Qingrui who was standing beside the First Emperor, and asked with a bow.

"Two lovers, look at this mirror." Ying Zheng gave the mirror to Zhao Gao, and asked Zhao Gao to show them the mirror.

Respectfully took the mirror with both hands, what His Majesty took out must be a good thing, this is the idea shared by Li Si and Feng Quji.

After taking the mirror, Li Si looked like he had seen a ghost. What does he look like?He had never looked at himself so carefully before.

If it weren't for His Majesty's belongings, he would have thrown this mirror out. This mirror is so clear and scary.

"What's wrong?" It's just a mirror, what's wrong with Li Si?Feng Quji looked at Li Si in surprise.

"Please take a look, Prime Minister Feng." Li Si took a deep breath and gave Feng Quji the mirror in his hand.

Feng Quji raised his eyebrows and took it.

However, soon he couldn't maintain his composure. The mirror is so clear, is the person in the mirror really him?

He took a mirror to look at Li Si, hiss, it was exactly the same, this mirror is too amazing.

"Your Majesty, what kind of mirror is this? Why is it so clear?" Feng Quji gasped.

"Qing Rui, tell them." Ying Zheng pursed his lips and took the mirror back from Zhao Gaoshou. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"Ahem, two prime ministers, this is called Glass Mirror, and I called you here today, and this is exactly what I'm talking about." Zhao Qingrui coughed lightly and said seriously.

"Oh? This mirror is so clear, does His Highness have a way to make it?" Li Si looked at Zhao Qingrui in shock.

"Naturally, the production of this mirror is somewhat difficult, especially the required equipment, which requires a lot of investment in the early stage, but the glass is extremely useful. Once it is completed, it will definitely make me a lot of money in the future." Zhao Qingrui said briefly.

Then I told them how to use the mirror, so that they could have a bottom line in their hearts.

She said a lot of terminology, and most of them didn't understand.

However, they understand one thing, as long as this thing is made, it will definitely make a lot of money.

The cost of making the furnace is extremely high, if not for finding the coal mine now, Zhao Qingrui would not want to do this.

With those coals, the blast furnace ironmaking has been put into use, and with some technology, it is not so difficult to get out the furnace for firing glass.

Hearing Zhao Qingrui's words, the palace fell into a long silence.

I understand, just two words, asking for money.

"Your Highness, what can this glass be used for?" Li Si asked. Such a large expenditure must be understood clearly. If the cost cannot be recovered, it will definitely be a huge loss.

"There are many uses. It can be used as water cups, fruit plates and various bottles. It can be used as windows to make the room brighter. It can be used as mirrors and telescopes." Zhao Qingrui counted the uses of glass in detail, and strived to also Let both of them support her.

"The manufacturing cost of these things is not low, and ordinary people must not be able to afford them. Are those businessmen really willing to spend money to buy these things?" Li Si hesitated.

"Naturally, don't the two prime ministers believe me?"

The two looked at Shi Huangdi's calm look, and then at Zhao Qingrui's confident look.

Thinking about what Zhao Qingrui had done over the past year, the two of them looked at each other, and they could try it, the current state treasury can afford it.

Now that the national treasury has income, it is not as tight as before. Even if it fails, it is impossible to affect Daqin's economy.

They both saw their meanings in each other's eyes, Feng Quji stood up, "Your Highness, I think you can give it a try."

If it succeeds, it will make a lot of money, and the treasury has money to do more things.

They also knew Zhao Qingrui's ability, and they were willing to believe her.

"I also think you can try it." Li Si also said.

"In this case, I will not let you down." With the support of the two, Zhao Qingrui said seriously.

"Your Highness is also for the sake of the people. As the prime minister of Great Qin, I am naturally willing to assist Your Highness." Li Si said solemnly, since the decision has been made, they all know that Zhao Qingrui is not a random person, this matter is done, yes Da Qin also made great achievements.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied that the two knew each other so well, and then began to arrange where to build the factory area and assign those people to make the glass.

Several people discussed here until late at night before making a decision. Most of the staff will be managed by those who have returned from the Mohist school, and some craftsmen will be recruited from the people.

Anyway, the first emperor is not so easy to die now, and Ying Zheng is not in a hurry about the progress of his imperial mausoleum.
