"What are you talking about? Is this called glass? It's better than glass? It can keep out wind and rain? It can also be used as a window?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please let me have a look."
"Give!"
Queen Changsun on the side took the glass.
"I think this glass is not big, how can it be used as a window?"
"Your Highness the Queen, the Sixth Prince said that this glass can be one foot high and half a foot wide. What the common people brought was just a piece of cut glass."
As soon as this number came out, Li Shimin took a breath of air.
Isn't this too strong?
"Is that really what Li Min said?"
Li Shimin confirmed again.
"Yes, that's right! The common people saw a bigger piece. When it was installed in the window, it was as if it were nothing, and it was not afraid of wind and rain. The Sixth Prince also said that this kind of glass can be made to floor, as if it were nothing.
, people can still enjoy the scenery outside when inside!”
Li Shimin pondered.
"It would be a wonderful thing if my imperial study room could be changed into a floor-to-ceiling window as Yan Lide said. In the future, when I review the manuscripts, I won't feel bored, and I can also look at the scene of the garden outside. This way
The efficiency will definitely be improved a lot!”
Li Shimin thought very well.
If it's summer, he can move outside to do the batching, but it's unrealistic when winter comes again. It would be great if there was such a decoration.
Because floor-to-ceiling windows do have a great advantage in lighting.
He has always been criticized for the lighting in the imperial study room. Now that he has this kind of material, he will try anything.
A toilet used to cost him one hundred thousand taels.
The glass this time must not be cheap.
Therefore, Queen Changsun asked: "How much does that piece of glass cost?"
Yan Lide did not dare to speak.
"this……"
"The queen is asking you something, why don't you say it yet?"
Li Shimin was anxious.
"The Sixth Prince put a lot of effort into this glass. It took several months just to research it, and a lot of materials were wasted!"
Yan Lide said that the purpose of saying this was to make Li Shimin feel that the price he mentioned next was not high.
"You just tell me the price of one piece? I don't want to know the rest!"
How could you not know?
That's very important.
Yan Lide could only say: "A piece of glass that is one foot high and half a foot wide will cost the Sixth Prince 10,000 taels!"
Ten thousand taels a piece? Why not grab it?
Li Shimin was shocked and speechless.
That's not a small amount.
Although the national treasury has been filled with a lot of money recently, the money cannot be spent like this.
One piece of glass costs 10,000 taels. If it’s 10 pieces of glass, it’s not 100,000 taels?
"This boy really dares to speak!"
Li Shimin was a little angry.
But if you want it, only he has it.
The pricing power lies with Li Min.
Moreover, if you don’t want it, he won’t force you to buy it.
At this time, Yan Lide came out and said something fair.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince doesn't plan to sell it yet. He only tells the common people the price! He invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the early stage, and his brainpower is priceless."
No one said they wanted to sell it, so how could he, Li Shimin, really dare to open his mouth?
Queen Changsun said:
"Yes, Your Majesty, Li Min's glass is for the building, and he doesn't know you want it, so you can't blame him!"
Li Shimin’s wrongdoing.
I could only sigh.
"in this way……"
He changed the subject.
After all, it's a whim, so I can't give up no matter what.
"So how many pieces of glass like this do I need for my study?"
Yan Lide was embarrassed.
Does Li Shimin really want to change?
The trip to the ten toilets seemed too expensive last time. Do you want to go there again this time?
Ten pieces of glass can support the toilet.
"Your Majesty, where do you want to start?"
he asks.
"I want all the aspects of the royal study!"
Yan Lide was stunned.
The four sides of the royal study are quite far apart.
The buildings of the palace are famous for their large size.
Calculated in this way, a lot is needed.
"Let the villain do the math!"
Yan Lide began to calculate.
After a moment, he said: "This requires a hundred pieces of glass!"
"What! One hundred dollars? Do you need that much?"
Li Shimin was shocked.
One hundred yuan is one million taels.
Isn’t this money very profitable?
"Yes, we need all four sides. If we only need one side, twenty yuan will be enough!"
"How can one side be enough? If you want it, you need four sides together!"
Li Shimin insisted.
"Your Majesty, you should think about this again. One hundred yuan is not a small amount."
Li Shimin was silent.
He was trying to convince himself.
Suddenly he said: "One million is just the money to fine those big families. Anyway, the money is not my own! One million is one million, Yan Lide, I will leave this matter to you, you can go to Huhu Get the money!”
In Li Shimin's opinion, this million was taken from the aristocratic family, so he wouldn't feel bad even if it was spent.
After all, it was an unexpected gain.
But he didn't think about it. If this money were put into the private sector, it would be a lot of money.
It can improve a lot of people's livelihood.
But based on his knowledge.
When the environment in the imperial study room is better, he can handle things more efficiently, so the harm outweighs the good.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Yan Lide agreed.
Empress Changsun tried to persuade her again, but there was no way.
The decision he made was something that even nine cows couldn't pull back.
"Okay, go and deal with it, I'm waiting for your good news!"
"The villain resigns!"
Yan Lide then left Tai Chi Palace and went to the household department to withdraw money.
A period of time later, under the leadership of Yan Lide, it really happened.
Li Shimin handled official affairs in this study room surrounded by glass, which attracted the envy of all civil and military officials.
After someone inquired about the price of glass, they immediately backed down.
At the same time, within a period of time, the glass matter actually spread to the people, setting off a purchasing boom among the people.
This is a later story.
…
That night, Yan Lide commanded the engineering team to start beating the imperial study room. This beating directly made all the civil and military officials unhappy, and they all came over to persuade Li Shimin not to do this.
But how could Li Shimin listen to them and leave them outside without seeing them?
These people had to stand outside the palace, and finally dispersed as a last resort.
The next day, Yan Lide and the people from the Ministry of Revenue came over with money and said they wanted to buy glass.
Li Min received one million taels and directly sold them the 100 pieces of glass he had produced before. Naturally, he was happy to receive the money.
Next, he will produce in large quantities. Anyway, he has the factory in his own hands and can increase production at any time.
And one hundred yuan is far from enough for his decoration, so he might as well sell it.
In this way, the distance from ten million taels of silver is less than five million.
It will be possible soon.
At the same time, at noon that day, a woman came to the Shengtang Group.
