Chapter 542

text

Li Mu glanced at Li Yuan and smiled and said, "If the Supreme Emperor likes it, wait for the spring to change the windows of heaven and earth into glass. A little money can still be afforded by a kid."

"No need." Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I am a handful of old bones. It's already time to be greedy for pleasure. What's the difference between glazed glass or glazed glass?"

"That's not possible." Li Mu said seriously. "From filial piety, you are the elders, and you should enjoy the respect of the younger generation. In terms of power, the most powerful person in the world is the emperor, right? You are the emperor's father, and you are the most powerful person in the world, and you should enjoy it."

This made Li Yuan amused, pointed at Li Mu, and said, "You are this mouth, you won't say that in front of Shimin."

"I also say the same thing in front of anyone, who doesn't know that Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, is the most upright person in the world?"

"Don't humiliate such good words. If you are a straightforward person, the whole world will be a straightforward person." Li Yuan smiled and glanced at Li Yourong who was making tea in the yard. He seemed to be careless and thoughtless, "Li Mu, there is something in my heart recently. I often think of it. It makes me unable to eat or sleep well. Is there any way to solve my problems?"

Li Mu patted his chest and said, "Even the Supreme Emperor, go up to the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, I, Li Mu, are willing to go!"

"It's not that serious." Li Yuan pointed to Li Yourong and said, "My granddaughter is already at the age to get married. You know her situation, it's not easy to marry. Think of a way to help her find a good husband."

Li Mu was so alert in his heart that he immediately said, "The Supreme Emperor, the ugly words are ahead, don't blame me for not giving face, I will never marry her!"

"You?" Li Yuan sneered and said, "You think you are a treasure, I still look down on you, and I won't say anything else. You have several wives and concubines. How can my granddaughter be a petty boy? If you want to marry, you will be able to divorce your women. I have to do it because you are still in love with me, so I can only marry you."

Li Mu let out a long sigh and exaggeratedly said, "Fortunately I got married, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hide."

"Do you kid deserve a beating?" Li Yuan glared and said, "She is my granddaughter, eldest princess! I have to leave this matter to you, you have to take it seriously. If you don't take it seriously, I won't beat you!"

"Okay, okay, old man, just leave it to me..." Suddenly Li Mu remembered something and smiled, "Old man, I have it! I suddenly thought of a good idea!"

"What's the idea?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "Old man, what are the many young talents?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "You Dao is a general from Shanxi and a prime minister from Shandong. I can't find a reckless man for my granddaughter, so it's the best thing to be a talented man from Shandong!"

"Oh," Li Mu curled his lips and said, "Old man, are you old and confused? What's the best thing about Shandong's talented men? The five surnames Qi Wang have a very tall eyebrows and no one looks down on them. The county mainly married to Shandong. Think about it, it's so far away from Chang'an and so far away from you. Except for what's the matter, being bullied. When the news comes back, it's too late!"

Li Yuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "You boy's analysis makes sense. My granddaughter can't marry too far - it's better to hire a wife! As long as he has a good character and is filial, I can give you any dowry he wants!"

"We won't be able to take care of it," Li Mu said quickly. This old man is really a waste of time to marry his granddaughter and is willing to lose money.

"If you have any good ideas, just say it. I have to beg you?"

"I dare not," Li Mu smiled and said, "an immature suggestion - Emperor, do you still remember that before we discussed the establishment of the Heaven and Earth, we once said that it was just in time for the imperial examination to hold an literary meeting in the Heaven and Earth, so that talented people can write poems and select poems. The best people have rewards and can only be used as funding tuition fees. Do you still have an impression of this?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and said angrily, "If you don't mention it, I'll forget that you have not done anything you have done?"

"Isn't this busy? I remember now!" Li Mu had a trick to coax the old man, and after a few words, he made Li Yuan happy again. "What are you planning to do?"

"Uncle, you just said that Shandong talent is too narrow-minded. Is it good for a talented man from Shandong? Otherwise! Talents from anywhere are good. The key is to see who is powerful. So how can we tell whether it is powerful or not?"

Li Yuan was fascinated by the hearing and asked, "Yes, how can I tell it?"

Li Mu slapped his hands and said, "Is the imperial examination! Isn't this a coincidence? In another month, the spring examination will begin. Now talents from all over the country have arrived in Chang'an City one after another. If we hold a competition, select the best from it, and then let the princess choose...will all the talents in the world enter my hub?"

Li Yuan frowned and thought for a while, saying, "What is the difference between this and the imperial examination? If you say so, when the imperial examination is over, I will ask Yourong to choose the top scholar Tanhua, wouldn't it be simple?"

"Will that be the same?" Li Mu said nervously, "Your Majesty, you think it's simple. The imperial examination is to select talents for the country. What do you pay attention to? Is there a talent to govern the country? But recruiting a son-in-law is not the standard. If the top scholar is a nerd? If he only knows how to study but not the romantic? You can't let the princess stay a widow all his life, right? Our competition is different. What we want is a romantic talent, only one side, and we also know the cold and heat, and understand the hearts of girls. Only such a talent can deserve the status of a princess, right?"

"Um..." Li Yuan nodded and said, "It makes sense." Suddenly he looked at Li Mu and said, "I think you are the most suitable one after that."

"No, no, I have married and taken concubines, my wife is pregnant, and I am so destitute that I am no longer worthy of the princess!"

"Is this how the stolen flowers and willows used?" Li Yuan was so amused and said, "You are just as knowledgeable as you want to take the top scorer? Just stop taking the exam, make a joke!"

Li Mu didn't refute, and laughed and said, "Old man, it's important to participate! If you can pass the exam, who can say what I can do? At worst, you will lose to Wei Zheng for a little money, and I don't care about a thousand or eight hundred taels of gold. This matter is covered by me. Please rest, I will go and discuss it with someone, and it will start tomorrow!"

Seeing that Li Mu was so active, even though he felt something was wrong, Li Yuan was embarrassed to say it, and waved his hand to let him go. Li Yourong looked over in confusion, and Li Yuan quickly smiled. Li Yourong had always opposed the matter of recruiting a son-in-law. She could not notice it until the matter was done.

...

Li Mu left Li Yuan and walked back to his yard. Now there are a few more people in the yard, all of which were recruited in the past few days. Li Mu knew that the people he recruited could not be guaranteed to be the suspense of any force, but there was nothing he could do about this. Who made him have no foundation for his own? In order to make up for this shortcoming, Li Mu took a random and short-term approach. Every time he recruited, it would take at most one month, so that even if he leaked the secret, they would not know too much.

"Owner!"

As soon as Li Mu entered the yard, Li Zhien jumped out, pinched an account book in his hand, and threw herself into Li Mu's arms. Li Mu caught her, took her around and put her down, and said, "What's wrong? So happy?"

"Master, look at it," Li Zhien handed the account book to Li Mu, saying, "This is the account book that deals with the tributes of Zhenla Kingdom, and sold more than 100,000 yuan!"

"So many?" Li Mu was really shocked. He intercepted the tributes of the Zhenla Kingdom mission. He left the elephant and rhino. The palace musicians sent the remaining coconut bamboo, agarwood, yellow wax, cardamom, purple stems, fengzi oil, etc., which was useless to keep, so he asked Li Zhien to take it to the East City and sell it to the merchant. He thought it was only tens of thousands of yuan, but he did not expect it to double the price.

"Master, this is because we don't have these things in the Tang Dynasty. They are rare things, so they are sold at high prices." She snorted and said, "The fat man who acquired them wants to cheat me on the price, but who am I? I am your second wife. I have revealed my identity. He was afraid immediately, so he quickly changed the offer to me, Humph!"

"Yoyo," Li Mu pinched Li Zhien's face and said, "Look at your appearance as a fake tiger, what's so proud of you?"

"Just proud," Li Zhien took the account book back and asked, "Husband, can you not save this money?"

"Why, do you want to keep a small vault?"

Li Zhien shook his head and said, "It's not my small treasury, it's the small treasury at home." Suddenly, her expression became very serious, and said, "Master, husband, I want to tell you very seriously that our family has no money now."

"What a joke!" Li Mu said speechlessly, "The theater, gambling workshop, Feng Qiuhuang, who will make money every day? I don't have money, who has money?"

"It's true that you're going to make money every day, but you're going to have a lot of people out," Li Zhien pouted, "Yesterday Gongsun Kang came to me and said that the repair of the alley in Chang'an City was overspent, and 100,000 guan was not enough, and it cost 150,000 guan. There is also the second phase of the valley project, and what you told him, renovating the empty house in Chang'an City and building the Dongcheng factory... It's all the industries of the court, but the ones who pay for money are all our families! Even if you're going to make money every day, you can't stand it. So I discussed with my wife. In the future," Li Zhien pursed his lips and said, "The family has to keep money. Nothing else. The child will be born in nine months."

"Uh..." Li Mu suddenly felt a little ashamed. To be honest, he had never thought about this, because he had no worries in this regard. He subconsciously felt that the money of the Tang Dynasty was too easy to make. Even if it was spent, it would be fine now. However, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien did not have the confidence of him. They were not time travelers, so it was very normal to have such worries.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Feng Qiuhuang's income in the future, you don't need to take it out again. You two can do whatever you want, but our family can't keep the money this time."

"Why?" Lee Ji-eun pouted.

"This is the money for intercepting the tribute and selling it. If we spend it, if the censor finds out and sues us, we will be unreasonable!"

"Oh oh oh," Li Zhien suddenly realized that she could understand this reason. Although money is a good thing, if Li Mu is passive, it would definitely not be the result she wanted to see.

Li Zhien nodded obediently and said, "When Gongsun Kang comes again tomorrow, I will let him take the money away."

"That's not OK," Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "You just reminded me, why should we all pay for it? We are not a loser. Don't worry about it for now, I have other uses of this money!"

"What's the use? Didn't it mean that it can't be spent?"

"I want to change the windows for Your Majesty!" Li Mushen said in a daze, but Li Zhien was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.

...

After dinner, Li Mu came to the studio. As soon as the door was closed, the world became quiet.

When he was busy in the studio, under normal circumstances, neither Li Zhien nor Bai Qiaoqiao would disturb him.

Li Mu moved his muscles and put on his "work clothes" made of cowhide. This thing can withstand the iron cutting of iron, and can also prevent scratches and scratches, taking into account both protection and flexibility.

He wants to make a batch of glass, but this is not the point. The point is that he wants to make a process, which is not afraid of people's sight, but also makes people unable to see anything. The most important thing is that he wants people to see that glass is burned with silver. Only in this way can he equate glass and silver and maintain the luxury status of silver.

This is a bit difficult, because silver cannot be used to burn glass. Even if it is a trick, it cannot be changed and cannot be realized at all.

But for Li Mu, who has the system, it is not necessarily impossible.

He had tried it as early as the Turkic camp. The system can turn real money into "money" in the system, and the "money" in the system can be exchanged for real money. Then, if he wants people to think that burning glass requires silver, he only needs to pour the silver into the stove during the burning process and then let the silver disappear, which can achieve this goal.

But now there is a problem: it is easy to put silver into the stove, but after silver is heated, it will definitely be very hot. And the high temperature that is enough to melt the sand will definitely melt the silver. Then it will turn into a liquid metal, and the temperature can be imagined.

Can redemption be completed in high temperatures? Will it look natural?

This is the experiment Li Mu is going to do today. If everything goes well, he will master a profitable way to "launder" money! As long as glass is used as a window, any individual will like it. As long as people see the benefits of glass, no matter how expensive it is, someone will pay.

At that time, the sand becomes glass, and the glass is linked to silver, which is equivalent to digging sand and turning it into money. This is not just a huge profit, but a huge profit without a huge profit!

While thinking happily, Li Mu started to do it. He first bought a bunch of "glass auxiliary material bags" from the system and put it aside for later use. Then he threw the river sand into the stove with a shovel. When the temperature was almost done, he threw the "glass auxiliary material bag" into it in proportion. After all the substances in the auxiliary material bag were integrated into the high-temperature sand, Li Mu exchanged 100 taels of silver from the system and threw them all in.

"Don't burn me to death!"

Li Mu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and activated the reverse redemption!
