"But marble is very expensive, we can't afford it." The main issue is the raw materials; these minerals are all controlled by the imperial court.
Even the development of iron ore mining is so difficult, let alone other mineral resources. She gave up this idea from the start.
So she could only settle for slate.
But even if the slate is neat, it doesn't look that great; the neater the slate, the more expensive the price. Just based on the capital's prices, a one-meter piece of slate costs around six to seven hundred wen.
And to cover the entire garden, at least five to six hundred pieces are needed, which would cost more than three hundred taels.
This is also why house prices in the capital are expensive, the cheapest is over five hundred taels.
Of course, Ye Muyu is very meticulous and insists on high-quality slate.
