Chapter 2563 Value Is Given by People
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all officials of the court entered the working state.
The shipbuilding department worked overtime to prepare to form a larger fleet to sail, and some overseas places needed to be stationed.
Li Yi was a little depressed, and Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan were radiant.
Everyone entered the sapphire processing workshop, and Li Yi muttered in a low voice, "You can't always be on it, you can't always be on it."
The real tiredness is in muscle fatigue, so there is yoga.
Queen Wang pulled Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan to talk.
Li Longji wanted to laugh, and then he was stunned.
The exhibition room of the sapphire processing workshop was brightly lit, and the white and other colors that were not right were heat-treated.
After the carving was done, what was presented to everyone was a brilliance of various colors. To put it bluntly, the lighting was good.
Queen Wang also stared blankly at the colors in the room.
Only when the lighting is good can it deceive people. Li Yi knows how to adjust the light.
"Uncle, how much is the clip-on earring?"
Queen Wang carefully picked up an earring clipped on her ear and asked. Under the light, the sapphire earring had a psychedelic color.
Princess Yongmu took a look and said, "Does it include labor costs?"
"How much does it cost if it does or doesn't?" Queen Wang also knew that the labor costs in Li's manor were expensive.
"If it does, it's five strings of cash. If it doesn't, it's five cents. This is burned white."
Princess Yongmu told the truth. With such a high cost and high labor costs, if it is sold, a pair of earrings will cost at least two hundred strings of cash and will be sold abroad.
Look, such a pure sapphire, and it has so many faces carved out. If you think two hundred strings of cash is expensive, I'll give you five hundred strings of cash and you can take out a pair.
"Oh!" Queen Wang put it down. No, the cost is five cents.
"This is good. It's not for sale. It's natural. It's a gold and diamond chain with a large natural heart-shaped sapphire pendant."
Princess Yongmu ran to the side and took out a necklace and put it on Queen Wang.
"How much do you have to pay for it?" Queen Wang wanted to assess the value.
"Three hundred thousand strings of cash." Li Yi gave the answer. He cut all the diamonds with instruments.
"Does Sanlang look good?" Queen Wang straightened her chest.
"Good!" Li Longji almost fell in love with it. It was really beautiful under the light.
"Uncle, I bought it." Queen Wang wanted to pay.
"Sister-in-law, look at this. This bracelet is also good. It is worth twenty strings of cash. You can draw a lottery. The highest reward is the necklace you wear."
Li Yi couldn't ask for money! He knew that Queen Wang just said that, but she had to let people have the joy of shopping.
"Okay! I bought it, twenty strings of cash, I..." Queen Wang wanted to pay, but found that she had no money.
Xiaolan handed over the bill: "I'll lend it to you, remember to pay me back."
"Okay! I bought this bracelet, how to draw a lottery?" Queen Wang gave the money to Li Yi.
"Press the little robot, and it will stop wherever it rotates, but it may stop at the position of thanking you for your patronage. It all depends on luck."
Li Yi pushed the 033 little robot forward and patted the other's head.
"No need to pat, I know, press the biggest button on the screen, press, see your luck!"
Zero Sansan moved his head, why pat me, don't I know what I'm drawing?
"Sanlang, look! I've drawn this necklace, am I lucky?"
Queen Wang pressed it, and the screen spun back and forth, and just when she was about to get impatient, it suddenly stopped, and won the biggest prize.
"Don't spin so many times." Li Yi patted the little robot's head again.
"I know, I know, this is not to create suspense!"
The little robot complained, what's wrong with spinning a few more times, the ending is fixed.
Everyone laughed happily, Queen Wang stopped laughing: "Give me a few more sets, there are many people in the family, and it's not good for anyone to be missing."
She decided to give a set to all the other concubines of Li Longji. The materials of the things are valuable, but the processing technology is really valuable.
She is the queen, she has to manage the harem well, and the concubines who gave birth to sons need her to get along.
She wants to be another Empress Changsun, Guanyin maid.
Li Longji now calls Queen Wang Lingling. Now that he has a son, he doesn't have to bear any other external pressure.
He doesn't care anymore. Who dares to say anything else? Do you think my 30,000 Yulin flying cavalry are for fun?
If you have the guts, you can rebel together and attack the Li family's manor in Chang'an or Luoyang. Do you want water beads? I'll give them to you; do you want automatic rifles? I'll give them to you too, come and fight.
When Queen Wang left, she took away a lot of jewelry, all of which were drawn in a lottery.
In the end, she gave Li Yi 100 strings of cash, which was actually 98 strings of cash and 666 coins.
Queen Wang rounded it up to an even number, so she gave him too much!
Li Yi was embarrassed, so he gave deerskin and maintenance cream, and promised to maintain it for life.
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan didn't take anything. They were all their own. They could wear whatever they wanted. So why should I wear it? It's so heavy.
Queen Wang first sent it to the Queen Mother Dou Lu Guifei, and let Dou Lu Guifei choose first. She took the necklace off her neck.
Concubine Dou Lu took a look and realized that the queen liked this necklace, but she couldn't have it.
She picked up each one and looked at it: "The stone is beautiful and looks like it has many faces. How much does this ring cost?"
"To answer my mother, Li's farm is exported abroad, and this ring costs one thousand strings of cash. It is cheaper to sell it domestically, at three hundred strings of cash, and the cost is ten coins!"
Queen Wang remembered the overseas and domestic prices and costs of all things, and reported them casually.
Concubine Dou Lu was calm when she heard one thousand strings of cash and three hundred strings of cash. She thought it was worth it.
When he heard that the cost was ten yuan, his hands trembled and the ring fell to the ground.
The palace maid came over, picked it up, and handed it back.
"Such a beautiful thing only costs ten dollars?" Concubine Doulu couldn't believe it.
"You can't buy engraving equipment with money." The little robot said, the materials are not valuable, who has a laser knife?
Li Dan, who was watching along, said: "An automatic rifle is just some iron, copper, and gunpowder, but others can't do it."
"That's right, Xiaoyi has many means, so we can't talk about costs."
Concubine Doulu nodded and continued admiring.
The little robot said from the side: "Colored gems are not valuable. They are all white and defective stones that have been burnt. Diamonds are valuable, but the larger ones are less."
Sapphire can be processed with diamond, but diamond cannot be processed with sapphire.
It is easy to carve jade with a knife made of diamond, especially nephrite, but also jade. "
"What are jadeite and nephrite?" Concubine Doulu asked with a smile.
"Hetian jade and Lantian jade are soft jade with low hardness. There is a kind of jade in the southwest called jade, red is jade and green is emerald. The Tang Dynasty still didn't recognize it as it was worthless.
The value of a thing is given by humans. The reputation of Lijiazhuangzi is value, given by the people. "
The little robot knows a lot, chatting with it will increase your knowledge.
The total value of the pile of jewelry in front of him was less than one ten thousandth of it. Li Yi couldn't make it despite all his efforts.
"Is jade good-looking?" Queen Wang was curious.
"That's all, they are all good ones." Jade jewelry and ornaments appeared on the screen of the little robot.
There are glass-type jade, and even dragon-type jade. Dragon-type jade is the same as the best colorless sapphire, and there is no distinction based on color.
