"Nonsense, this is obviously a treasure. I have never seen such a treasure. Now you tell me that this is not a treasure. Are you trying to say that I have no vision?" Li Er said in a deep voice.

The eldest grandson became more rational and asked: "Wang Ning'an, why do you say this is not an elder?"

Wang Ning'an explained: "Your Majesty, Madam, this is actually made of sand. Zhao Ye, bring the Xiaotian Divine Wolf."

Zhao Ye handed the two howling wolves to Wang Ning'an very respectfully.

Wang Ning'an took the Howling God Wolf and immediately smashed the two divine wolves to the ground, breaking them into pieces instantly.

"What are you doing?" Li Er said angrily.

The eldest grandson was also furious: "Bold."

Even if Zhao Ye found out that it was made of sand, he was heartbroken. Even if it was made of sand, he could have bought a hundred cows outside.

Li Xiangcheng smiled awkwardly and said: "Slippery hands, slippery hands, haha...haha..." and then glared at him with a reproachful look.

Wang Ning'an smiled slightly at her, then cupped his hands to Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, empress, please calm down, Wei Chen has just said that this is made of sand, and there are hundreds of such works in the warehouse.

If necessary, the glass workshop can make hundreds of identical Howling God Wolfs in one day."

"Very good, I give you an hour to make another Howling God Wolf like the one just now, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences," Li Er said.

"I obey the order." Wang Ning'an said.

He immediately called Zhao Ye to the workshop to make the Howling God Wolf.

Because of the grinding tools, the Howling God Wolf was made very quickly, it didn't take an hour at all, and as many as five were made.

Looking at the five identical Howling God Wolfs on the table, as if they were quintuplets, they completely believed Wang Ning'an's words. The Howling God Wolf was indeed not a treasure, and it was made of sand. This made Li Er and Zhang Sun blush.

.

But we can't blame them. How could we imagine that such a beautiful Howling God Wolf was made of sand that can be seen everywhere?

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Wang Ning'an immediately said: "Your Majesty, in fact, not many people know that this thing is made of sand. I want to hold an auction, so I specially invited your Majesty and the empress to go."

"Auction?" Li Er asked, looking at Wang Ning'an with doubtful eyes.

Wang Ning'an immediately said: "Yes, Wei Chen will invite all Hu merchants to attend the auction, and of course local businessmen and dignitaries cannot be missing. Wei Chen is even willing to distribute 10% of the proceeds from the auction to the national treasury."

"You are trying to bribe the imperial court with money." Li Er's face was expressionless, but his tone of voice became very cold.

How could Wang Ning'an not hear it and said: "No, no, Your Majesty is serious. It's not that the minister wants to spend money to bribe the court, but that the court must accept the money."

"How do you say this?"

Wang Ning'an explained: "Weichen's auction requires court certification. As long as there is a court certification, the items I sell are genuine and there are no fakes. Afterwards, everyone learned that the glass product was actually the same price as cabbage. Then

It has nothing to do with Wei Chen."

"Hmph, what a calculation. You want to put the imperial court at the forefront, even if you let the imperial court serve as your shield except for things. The most important thing is that you saw that the national treasury is tight, so I have to agree to your request." Li Er said with a gloomy face.

said.

Wang Ning'an shouted that he was wronged: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. Even if you gave me ten courages, I would not dare to do it."

Li Er snorted again: "Whether you think so or not, I agreed. As I said, the national treasury is tight, and there are still two months until the summer harvest. In these two months, there are still many places for the court to spend money.

a lot of."

Wang Ning'an said: "Wei Chen must double the tax revenue of the treasury as soon as possible."

Li Er said: "I also promised you that as long as you can double the tax revenue of the national treasury, I will agree to your request."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have already thought about my request," Wang Ning'an said.

"I know that you only have three years at most. After three years, you will no longer have the chance." After Li Er finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiangcheng aside and continued: "Xiangcheng, from now on, you

You live in the palace, and you are not allowed to leave the palace without my permission."

"Father, I want to live outside the palace." Li Xiangcheng said that if she did not see Wang Ning'an for three years, she would not be able to bear the pain of lovesickness.

"Well, you don't listen to me?" Li Er was obviously unhappy. He had a husband and forgot about his father. It was really sad.

Changsun smiled and said: "Xiangcheng, be obedient and follow me back to the palace. Don't make your father angry, otherwise some people will suffer."

When saying this,

Her eyes kept looking at Wang Ning'an.

Li Xiangcheng heard the hidden meaning of his eldest grandson's words, glanced at Wang Ning'an, sighed in his heart, and said, "My son, I will obey my father's arrangements."

Li Er nodded, strode forward, and left the glaze workshop without even looking at Wang Ning'an. Tomorrow he would go to Xishan to see Li Ke and experiment with the telescope.

"Farewell to Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Wang Ning'an said.

After Li Er left, Zhao Ye came to Wang Ning'an and said, "Master, your majesty's move is so cruel that you will not be able to see the princess. If you cannot double the treasury in three years, then you and the princess will have no chance."

Wang Ning'an smiled and said: "What do you know? This is the pressure your Majesty puts on me. Only with pressure can I be motivated.

Zhao Ye, now go and draw up a list and hold the auction in three days."

"yes."

After returning to the palace, Wang Ning'an found Wang Cheng.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Wang Cheng asked.

Wang Ning'an asked: "How many people do you have now?"

Wang Chengdao: "Almost a hundred people."

"The development is going well. Now go and spread the news." Wang Ning'an handed a blank piece of paper to Wang Cheng.

After Wang Cheng read the contents, he said: "Master, this is so subtle, it's too much to brag about."

"I'm bragging about your size. I'm telling the truth."

"Tell the truth?" Wang Cheng obviously didn't believe it and said, "Master, don't lie to me. Although I can't read as well as you, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. This glazed pagoda, glazed wolf, and transparent glazed cup,

Perfume, etc., do you have any of these items?”

"Who told you there wasn't one?" Wang Ning'an asked.

Wang Cheng's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "It really does exist."

"Of course, have you ever heard me bragging?" Wang Ning'an said with a smile.

Wang Cheng muttered: "You don't brag often."

"Boy, look for a fight." Wang Ning'an wanted to hit Wang Cheng.

How could Wang Cheng let him hit him? He quickly left the study.

"You brat." Wang Ning'an cursed with a smile and started preparing things to go to the palace.
