I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Speaking of this, Li Shimin took a deep breath, and expressed his final and true purpose with a little nervousness.

"Besides, I can ask for a meritorious service from the imperial court for you."

"Rewards, or titles, can be contested."

Yin Xuan pursed his lips, but did not respond immediately.

Li Shimin looked at Yin Xuan eagerly.

To be honest, the most troublesome thing for him is that Yin Xuan has no interest in court, and to put it simply, Yin Xuan has no interest in power.

Do not.
Saying it this way, it seems that he has no desires or desires. Yin Xuan is interested in Quan, but he makes it very clear that he does not want to enter the court and be shackled by others.

The things in the court could not attract Yin Xuan.

But Li Shimin was eager to have something to do with Yin Xuan, Chaotang, and Datang, and his two daughters would not be able to count on them for a while.

He put all his heart into his study, so did Yin Xuan, what kind of gentleman should he be, guarding those beautiful girls without even saying a few words?

So angry!

The official position was given to Yin Xuan, and Yin Xuan would definitely not want it, so after thinking about it, Li Shimin thought of such a thing as a title.

To put it bluntly, a title of title means occupying a certain power, but does not need to bear any responsibility-of course, the amount of power a title carries depends on the individual.

For example, Li Jing, although he is not an official now, and his real power is a bit weaker, but his status is there, and officials below the fourth rank have to treat him respectfully.

And like the kind who got the title because of their father, such as Li Tai—although he bears the title of a prince, but people like Ma Zhou dare to scold him a few words and scold him a few times. Voice.

If Yin Xuan got the title, after all, he got it by virtue of his own ability, and the treatment would be similar to that of Li Jing.

Li Shimin gave such a treatment, which can be said to be very conniving.

Yin Xuan is also thinking about this question.

A title is good or bad for him.

After all, it is still the world of Datang, and the rules are still set by Datang. For the time being, I have no means to establish rules, and all aspects are still growing.

A knighthood does not hold an official position.

You can become the upper class under this rule, and you won't let yourself be shackled by officialdom and imperial power.After all, what really determines their relationship is the cooperation in cement production.

Or more cooperation in the future.

This title can be claimed.

With a clear idea, Yin Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "If you are really capable, get me a title, official position is fine, I still have no idea of ​​becoming an official in the court."

Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief and nodded: "It's hard to talk about the title, but it's a great achievement after all. I'll try my best to help you fight for it."

Yin Xuan nodded with a smile.

Li Shimin turned his head, glanced at his two daughters, thought of something, and quickly said: "By the way, I have heard rumors recently that Linlang Pavilion has mastered a cheaper way to make colored glaze. It’s getting to the point where everyone knows.”

"Do you want to control the news so that those Hu merchants don't know about it?"

Originally, Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to the matter of Linlang Pavilion, he just thought that Yin Xuan was doting on his daughter, thinking that he would bring out fireworks and glass for fun again.

Who knows. What came out was cement.

Then the importance of Linlang Pavilion has undergone an earth-shaking change - between spending money to acquire resources, and only using cheap glass for resources, and others have bothered to help transport them, a fool knows which one to choose.

Li Shimin began to worry that if those Hu merchants knew the secret of Linlang Pavilion and Liuli became a bargain, they would not do such a business.

Yin Xuan waved his hand casually: "Relax, even if they know, they will buy a lot, and even buy more crazy."

Li Shimin was taken aback, a little puzzled.

The same goes for the other little old men, who don't quite understand the logic behind it.

Yin Xuan knocked on the table: "There is a sunk cost in it."

Sunk costs?

Another new word, never heard of it.

Several little old men sat upright, waiting quietly for Yin Xuan to explain.

"They bought colored glaze from me and sold it back to their own country at a high price. During this period, they sent a signal to the people in their own country that colored glaze is a precious thing."

"If... they find out at this time, in fact, Liuli is a slut, even cheaper than cooking cakes on the street, do you think they dare to pass this news back to their own country?"

Wei Zheng twirled his beard: "I don't dare to think about it."

"After all, they are merchants. If the nobles who bought colored glaze from their country knew about this, I'm afraid they would try their best to kill them."

The same goes for them.

People get angry when they are tricked, and when they get angry, they think about revenge.

Anyway, merchants are like that, and it doesn't matter how many people die.

Yin Xuan nodded: "Old man Wei is still smart, yes, not only will they not pass this news back to the country, but they will find ways to help cover up this news."

After speaking, Yin Xuan paused for a moment, then continued.

"Although this matter has become a lie, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there is still a risk of exposure. So...after they learned the news, and before the news was sent back to China, you think they will How to do it?"

The best way, of course, is to settle down in Datang and never return to China.

But... people are greedy.

Especially merchants, merchants are more greedy than ordinary people.

Several people thought together what the result would be.

Yin Xuan nodded again: "That's right, they will take advantage of this time to do glass business even more crazily, and it's a fortune to make more money."

"Until the news is revealed. They will find a way to earn back the money in the next life and the next life."

Three years, five years?
What Yin Xuan expected in his heart was five years.

"Then it's better to hide the news and do long-term business." Li Shimin thought for a while, then frowned and shook his head. What he said made sense, but it seemed a bit dry.

Yin Xuan smacked his lips: "I can't do long-term business."

"The reason why colored glaze is valuable is that rare things are more expensive."

"If we make one piece and sell one piece, there will be one more piece on the market, and the value of the glass will depreciate by one point. It may be delayed for some time by hiding it, but it won't be delayed for long."

After speaking, Yin Xuan paused again.

"Besides, things like glass are better used for people's livelihood. At most three to five years, I will definitely sell this thing at a low price and promote it."

"To earn quick money in the past three to five years, just accumulate the original capital."
