"Yes, Master!"

Immediately, under Ying Qi's and Wu Fu's amazed eyes, Li Chongyi pushed open the wooden door of the side room, took out a hundred coins from a wooden box in the side room, and stuffed them into the hands of Ying Qi and Wu Fu .

"This?...His Royal Highness?"

Each held fifty pennies, and looked at Li Chengqian who was standing aside with a look of horror. They didn't dare to accept it, but they didn't want to refuse either.

They have been craftsmen for half their lives, and no one has ever rewarded them.

"Since it was rewarded to you by the master, then you should take it!"

Regarding this, Li Chengqian was also surprised.

However, even my master's temperament is different from others, and I have said too much.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Hearing this, Ying Qi and Wu Fu quickly expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you, master. If you have any orders in the future, please do not hesitate to order!"

Chapter 84 Glass Windows (continued)

"It's okay, you've all been tired during this time, so let's talk about what's going on in a few days!"

But he didn't want to, Li Xuan didn't mean to be polite at all.

Seeing this, Ying Qi and Wu Fu were also startled.

The two of them were just being polite, but who would have thought that this master would be like this?

However, touching the heavy copper coins in their hands, the two of them replied excitedly.

"Yes, Master!"

……

that night.

Inside the Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin sat on the sofa, savoring the after-dinner refreshments while listening to Li Chengqian's report.

"Gao Ming, you said that Master actually used this kind of glass as a window?"

"Back to Aye, that's right!"

Li Chengqian said with joy on his face: "Aye, this kind of glass is used as a window, not only will the room be much warmer, but most importantly, it will be a hundred times brighter than bamboo strip paper."

"However, wouldn't it be a bit extravagant to use this glass as a window?"

Li Shimin naturally knew what Li Chengqian meant. Although his heart was extremely moved, he still hesitated, "Gao Ming, do you know the cost of a piece of glass that is three feet long and three feet wide?"

"Going back to Aye, it's not extravagant. According to my calculations in the past few days, the cost of a three-foot-square glass is [-] yuan!"

Li Chengqian said slowly.

"What? Such a strange thing, and the cost is so low?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help being shocked.

Immediately, his face was full of anger, "Sure enough, there are no traitors and no merchants. Those barbarian merchants dare to sell a piece of colored glaze the size of a palm for ten pennies. They really don't know how to live or die!"

However, Li Shimin didn't know that the cost calculated by Li Chengqian also included the materials used for so many days of failure.

"Tomorrow, I must meet that master!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Shimin said.

"Yes, Ayer!"

Li Chengqian nodded quickly.

"Li Wei!"

Immediately, thinking of something, Li Shimin quickly said: "Quickly go and divide out the money earned by the Tianxia Library and Furniture Workshop these days, which belong to the Master, and bring it to the Master tomorrow!"

"His Majesty……"

After listening, Li Wei looked hesitant, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Li Shimin's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Li Wei lightly.

"Your Majesty, during these days, the library has earned 20 guan, while the furniture workshop has already earned [-] guan!"

"Isn't that good?"

Li Shimin looked slightly happy, but was taken aback for a second.

"Your Majesty, the master's share is [-] guan!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian and Li Shimin were startled.

"so much?"

"Exactly!"

Li Wei nodded with a wry smile on his face.

"Take them too!"

After thinking about it, Li Shimin still gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Wei nodded quickly, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a flash of joy.

at the same time.

In Su Guogong, Wei Guogong, Cai Guogong, and even Hejian County Prince's Mansion, there was a scene of astonishment and commotion.

Following the narrations of Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi, and others, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong, Changsun Wuji, and others, who still don't understand that glass that is clearer than colored glaze is another fetish, even more so than a sofa. A hundred times more precious.

Those Hu merchants dare to sell a small glass vessel for ten pennies.Then, wouldn't that piece of three-foot-square glass be sold for a thousand guan, or even [-] guan?

Just thinking about it, the eyes of all these veteran killers who followed Li Shimin and conquered the world all glowed, wishing they could go to the palace overnight to meet His Majesty.

Early the next morning.

These princes, all with dark circles under their eyes, sat on the court hall, dozing off in secret.

After the whole court meeting, Li Shimin was not used to the quietness without the troubles of these veteran killers.

However, after he came down to court, Li Shimin found that he was too happy too early.

"Zhijie, Xiaogong, auxiliary machine... What's the matter with you looking at me like this?"

"Hey, Your Majesty, we have been fighting together for more than ten years. Not to mention sharing the same bed, we have also lived in the same tent. Why do you have to fool me and others like this?"

Cheng Zhijie's rough and loud voice directly attacked Li Shimin's sound wave.

"Your Majesty, the wives of those little bastards in our family have brought the god glass that those little bastards in my family burned day and night. What do you think should be done with it?"

Li Xiaogong asked directly.

"Your Majesty, according to my calculations yesterday, those damned Hu merchants, a palm-sized glass, is not as good as that glass, yet dare to sell it for ten pennies, and that glass is ten times better than colored glass." , wouldn’t it have to be sold for a hundred guan? If a piece of glass is three feet square, wouldn’t it have to be sold for [-] guan?”

Changsun Wuji also said hastily.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen..."

"Okay, okay!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was already full of helplessness.

They also knew the purpose of these old rascals, and they regretted it.

If I had known back then, even if I let these old killers block the gate of my palace for a month, I shouldn't have let Cheng Chusi and those little bastards come to worship under that master.

"The glass has just been fired by the master, and you are so anxious. You don't even have an accurate letter about the cost of the glass firing and whether it can be mass-produced. You just block me. Make a fuss!"

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "I'm going to find that master right now, and get to know him better!"

"Your Majesty, with a body of ten thousand gold, it is not safe to go out of the city. In order to prevent gangsters from making trouble, I would like to be His Majesty's pawn and protect His Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong said quickly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, with my old Cheng here, no thieves can get close to Your Majesty!" Cheng Zhijie also stared at a pair of red eyes, and said viciously.

"His Majesty……"

As for Fang Xuanling, Changsun Chong and other civil servants, they are not as shameless as Li Xiaogong and Cheng Laomo. After shouting for a long time, they almost want to be Li Shimin's coachman.

"Give me a break-up meeting and see how you are now. Everyone is either a prince or a county king. I don't dare to wrong a few of them. Li Wei led two hundred Xuanjia troops to follow me. If I were in Chang'an City If you can still be stabbed by the villain, then you are giving the villain the head by waiting!"

Li Shimin's face was anxious, and he shouted directly.

"How to deal with the glass depends on the master's will in the end. Now, you should sit at home and wait obediently!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin took Li Wei, followed by a group of soldiers pulling more than a dozen carriages, and headed for Lijiazhuang mightily.

……

And in Lijiazhuang.

Wait until Li Xuan reacts.

In the yard of my house, there are big boxes full of copper coins, which are piled up to the top.

A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but he still saluted Li Shimin slowly.

"Li Xuan met the prince!"

"Meet the master!"

After seeing each other, Li Shimin no longer cared about being reserved, and ran around in and out of each room, looking from window to window without stopping!

The more you look, the brighter the light in your eyes will be!

……

Chapter 85 Glass Costs

"I didn't expect Master's firing skills to be so good that he could make such exquisite and transparent glass!"

Sitting on the sofa in the house, Li Shimin still couldn't bear it, and raised his head from time to time to look at the window.

It is so exquisite!

Moreover, sitting in the house, without opening the door or window, you can clearly see everything outside the house through the glass, and the house is so much brighter than before?

Suddenly, Li Shimin couldn't help itching.

"My lord, you are too polite, this is just a way of life, little Doyle!"

Li Xuan looked calm.

"The way of life by investigating things?"

Li Shimin on the side couldn't help but look suspicious, and then a wave of vigilance arose in his heart.

"Dare to ask Master, what is the meaning of the way of life, and I don't know which sage's school this way belongs to?"

"Knowledge is in the investigation of objects, and then knowledge is obtained after the investigation of objects!"

"My lord, all kinds of affairs in the vast world have their laws. The way to study things and live is to personally explore the laws of these things, and use these laws to create better objects and improve our lives!"

After listening to Li Xuan's solemn speech, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched.To put it bluntly, don't you just want to concentrate on making better objects like those craftsmen to enjoy life?

"So it turns out, Master is indeed a hermit master!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your praise!"

I don't know if Li Xuan understood Li Shimin's words, but his face was still calm.

"Dare to ask Master, what is the use of Master forging this glass?"

Li Shimin seemed to have discovered the true face of this "strange man" Li Xuan, and he didn't want to mess around too much, so he went straight to the point.

"Naturally it is used for windows!"
