"What...Colored glaze?"

Li Shimin was also surprised. He seemed to have seen transparent windows on all the houses along the way.

However, he did not pay attention.

But now it seems that it is not that the windows are not sealed, but that there are transparent things blocking them. There is only one thought in his mind, that is, colored glaze.

Are all these houses installed with colored glaze?

No,

Li Shimin has never seen so many smooth colored glazes in his memory.

"When did the Tang Dynasty have so many colored glazes?"

Li Shimin unconsciously walked forward while speaking. When he arrived at the residents' house, he saw that the windows were actually inlaid with colored glazes. However, there were some spots of different sizes and even bubbles on these colored glazes.

As he walked forward, he found that the closer he got to the center of Lingnan City, the more transparent the colored glazes on the houses became.

"I go...This is too luxurious, colored glaze is actually used as windows, too extravagant, your majesty, your palace is not so luxurious!"Cheng Yaojin came forward and saw a transparent window, and touched it carefully.

He suddenly had an idea in his mind, that the windows of the entire city are made of this kind of glass.

Li Shimin looked at the crisscrossing buildings, and began to believe what Cheng Yaojin said, that the entire city might have colored glaze windows.

What is the situation?

Where did so much colored glaze come from.

As Cheng Yaojin said, the palace is not so luxurious, how much would it cost to make so many colored glaze windows? A piece of such transparent colored glaze in Chang'an would cost at least one hundred taels.

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't break my window!"

When Li Shimin and his friends were sighing, a loud shout stopped them.

Instantly, everyone's eyes focused on the past.

They saw a middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes coming over, looking at Li Shimin and his friends with a bad face.

Recently, many foreign merchants have looked at his windows, and some even broke a piece.

He was distressed and felt bad for several days. Fortunately, he went to ask for a piece for himself.

"Are you the owner of this house?"

Li Shimin looked at the small courtyard built with red bricks. The outside was a storefront, and the inside was the back room. It was less than half an acre in total, but it had everything.

It was small and exquisite.

It was better than the houses of several acres in Chang'an City, or even the mansions of more than ten acres.

"If it's not mine, then how could it be yours?" The man gave Li Shimin an unpleasant look, as if to say that you are very ignorant.

Li Shimin ignored the man's questioning look and continued to ask,"Did you build this by yourselves?"

"We built it, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave it to us!!"The middle-aged man said this with enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Give it to you?" Cheng Yaojin was confused at this time. Such a nice house, especially the glass windows, could it be given away casually?

"We help His Royal Highness the King of Chu build a city. Those who participate in the construction of the city will be rewarded with a small courtyard. I am the foreman and I was assigned a house facing the street!" The middle-aged man said this with gratitude in his eyes.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu keeps his word. You know, they used to live in a broken thatched house, which leaked when it rained. They never dreamed that they would live in such a good house.

Hiss! ~

Help build the city and get a house?

Li Shimin and others took a breath and looked at each other. This was too generous.

Li Shimin asked again:"Then your house is waiting in this Lingnan city!"

Because at a glance, basically all the houses are like this, and his house faces the street, and there are several small rooms facing the street, which can be converted into shops

"You haven't been to the city center yet!" The middle-aged man looked at them as if they had never seen the world, and said speechlessly:"The ones in the city center are better. Although they are not much bigger than ours, they are all paved with white porcelain, and the windows are much bigger than ours, and there are even toilets that can be sat on!"

As he spoke, the man said with some regret:"But...That kind of place is only for soldiers who have made meritorious service and officials to live in. Unfortunately, I am too old....."

That regretful request is like not joining the army and losing tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Is it really that good?" Cheng Yaojin and the others were stunned by what this person said.

Especially the white porcelain floor and the toilet seat....They didn't know what it was.

With doubts, they continued to walk into the city.

As expected, they found that the further they went, the more beautiful the decorations of the houses became.

"Are you from other places? Are you here to buy a house?"

As Li Shimin and his companions were walking forward, a man holding a stack of papers stopped them and handed a piece of paper to Li Shimin:

"Our house is a large four-room house with floor-to-ceiling windows and an independent courtyard. There is plenty of sunlight and vegetation in the courtyard!"

The person selling the house was a salesman sent by the Chu Palace. Recently, many businessmen will come here. If someone wants to stay here, it will not only increase the income of the palace, but also drive the development of Lingnan City.

Li Shimin listened to the salesman's recommendation. He opened the paper. There was a simple house structure diagram drawn on it, and some recommendations, which were exactly the same as what the salesman said.

He rubbed the paper carefully and was a little surprised.

This paper is different from ordinary yellow paper. The texture is crumpled and smooth, much better than the top-grade yellow paper in the palace. Unfortunately,...

Of course, I use it to write random things.
