Chapter 244 The Battle of the Glass

What can five cents buy?
It's not that Li Shimin doesn't know. He knows very well the price of goods in the Tang Dynasty in the past.

Once the first emperor was in power, the most expensive thing in the Tang Dynasty was not objects, but people.

At that time, the war had just ended, and manpower was hard to find.

What about now?
The population seems to be increasing, and the shortage is not necessarily people, but the price of basic goods must not increase.

Since the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin has strictly controlled prices, which is why Li Shimin is so happy after the salt came out.

But now, the price of Liuli has also dropped, which is in line with his expectations.

But he was still dubious.

"Ke'er, is what you said true?"

Li Ke smiled, "I made this thing myself, and it costs almost nothing. It's just sand by the river, just burn it."

Liuli, called glass in later generations, isn't it just made of sand.

Is sand valuable?It can be regarded as a little value, at least dozens of yuan per ton.

Li Shimin's eyes widened, holding the glass in his hand in disbelief, "Ke'er, you're playing me again, and I won't listen to you."

Chang Le pouted, "Father, my brother bought this for five Wen, why don't you believe it?"

Chang Le muttered while holding a sweet potato in his hand.

After all, colored glaze looks good, but sweet potatoes are delicious.

Small snacks are sold, and the natural choice is edible.

Li Shimin cried out in distress, "How did you get this glass out?"

Li Ke sat on the chair, "This Liuli is not a difficult task, but my legs hurt a little after walking all day today."

Li Shimin's old face immediately put on a flattering smile: "Hey, come on, my big boy, I'll give you a kick."

"You youngsters, I told you not to let you run around, but you insisted on running around."

"Look, your leg hurts, right?"

Li Shimin laughed while talking, while the eunuch and maid at the side lowered her head, trying to hold back her laughter, but couldn't hold it back anymore, her body was trembling constantly.

Li Shimin waved his hands: "Go out and stand."

By the way, he muttered a few words, but his face was full of complacency, "You can laugh if you want, what's the matter? My own son, I am happy."

After making Li Ke feel comfortable, Li Shimin continued to ask: "Ke'er, can you really make Liuli?"

Li Ke nodded: "Yes, Liuli is sand."

Li Shimin felt a little hot on his face, "Sand?"

Isn't that thing worthless?
According to Ke'er, Liuli is just sand, and sand is worthless, so Liuli is also worthless?
hiss……

His grandma's was a loss before co-authoring it!
Seeing Li Shimin's eyes flicker, Li Ke knew that this guy had countless thoughts flashing through his mind, so he said, "If you lose in the past, you will lose. Hu people are just opportunistic."

"But it may not be us who will suffer next, but them."

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's smile, and felt a feeling of cutting leeks in the imperial garden with a knife.

In Chang'an City, Hu merchants frantically snapped up Datang's Liuli today.

The Liuli merchant doesn't have many things now, and the daily output is only a few thousand pieces, all of which are snatched up by these barbarians.

"Hey, you fools, you used to sell it expensively, but now you have nothing to sell, and instead you rush to buy ours, what do you mean?"

Hu Shang was choked by the little guy, with a flattering smile on his face: "Hospitable Tang people, we saw Tang's colored glaze today, and only then did we realize that our previous colored glaze was rubbish."

"I have a kind of admiration in my heart, and I want to buy more, so that my wife, son, and daughter can take a good look at it when I go back."

Hu people are very good at disguising, and all of a sudden, the guys who engage in it will no longer be able to do it.

"Then you buy it, buy it and buy it."

Some people also bought it two days ago, but no one thought there was something wrong with it. After all, the shopkeeper said that if the barbarians were crazy about buying Datang Liuli, let them buy it.

The clerk took the money and found that the heavy silver was going to buy all the glass in the store.

Looking at the back of the barbarians, the man was puzzled: What are they trying to do?
In the night, the Hu people sat around and ate charcoal-grilled mutton, their faces were full of pride.

"Hey, in the words of the Tang people, this trick is called killing two birds with one stone. Their things are cheap, and we sell them at a high price!"

"If they were just bluffing, we would have taken the initiative back very quickly."

"Do two birds with one stone!"

At this time, another barbarian stroked his raised beard and asked a little puzzled, "Brother, where are we going to sell colored glaze?"

"Of course it's Goguryeo, the country of Wa, no way, the country of Wa is too dangerous, they are in the sea."

"It's better to sell them in Persia. These things cost [-] Wen in Persia. Five Wen will become [-] Wen. Don't you want to?"

At this time in Chang'an, in a small courtyard, Hei Mu pointed to the big box behind him, and fell into deep thought: "Takagi, are you really planning to transport it back?"

"That's natural. This is our chance to make a fortune."

Gao Mu's eyes were burning, "These things are only five yuan in Chang'an, but if they are placed in our place, they will be counted in gold."

Hei Mu seemed to be moved too. With such a high price, who wouldn't want to earn it?
However, the sea journey is long and life and death are uncertain, isn't it too difficult?

In today's era, nautical charts are not as complete as they were later, and the sea route is still confusing. As long as you go to sea, without an old guide, you may never return.

If it's just going fishing, it's easy, but if it's going to other countries, it's a narrow escape.

At this moment, Hei Mu slapped his forehead: "I remembered someone, he must have a chart on him, we can go back."

Takagi was stunned for a moment: "You said it was him?"

"Yes, it's him."

"He has been an official in the Tang Dynasty for some years. Our sudden visit seems a bit inappropriate."

"No no no, Takagi, he will definitely be happy to see his relatives in a foreign country."

Heimu vowed: "His pain was caused by people in the past, and has nothing to do with us."

Just as the two were discussing, there was a cracking sound. When the two turned their heads, they saw a dagger stuck in a piece of paper on the tile above their heads, shaking in the night wind.

The two slowly opened the note, only to see a line of small characters written on it: Goguryeo.

The eyes of the two of them lit up, clever, clever, that's how it is, that's how it is.

"Brother, we are rich, we don't need to go back, we just need to go to Goguryeo."

"They also like Liuli, I think their merchants should not be as fast as us?"

The two were almost jumping with excitement.

At this moment, there was a beeping sound from outside: the sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of candles.

On top of their heads, after Li Junxian dropped the dagger, he walked away slowly on the tiles.
