Chapter 270 What confidence do you have to talk to me about conditions?
"Xuanba, this lens looks clearer!"
"What about this piece?"
"Hey, it seems like there are some mold lakes..."
"Here, let's look at it from the other eye!"
"..."
Half an hour later, Li Yuan was wearing a pair of glasses made of sandalwood, his face full of excitement.
"Xuanba, these glasses are really amazing, they actually allow me to see so clearly!"
"Old man, be careful when you walk!"
Looking at Li Yuan who was watching everywhere, Li Xuan looked worried.
"Don't worry, I can clearly see an ant a hundred steps away!" Li Yuan said with a nonchalant look on his face.
Seeing this, Li Xuan said no more.
Behind him, Cheng Chusi, Fang Yizhi and others looked depressed.
"Master, why do we look at those lenses but can't find the ones that suit us?"
"You don't have any eye disease, so what's the point of needing glasses?"
Li Xuan was speechless.
At this moment, several people have come out of the forge.
Chang Sun Chong and Fang Yizhi suddenly saw a few familiar-looking figures standing in the shade beside the forging workshop.
Suddenly, I shuddered subconsciously.
"Um?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
"Master, I'm waiting for Aye..."
Before Fang Yizhi finished speaking, those figures were already walking towards them.
"I have met the Supreme Emperor, His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the King of Jin!"
Li Xuan looked up and saw several figures standing in front of him, and he subconsciously raised his hand to stand.
"I have met the Duke of Qi, Duke of Wei, and Duke of Cai!"
After seeing the ceremony, Li Xuan couldn't help but said with some doubts.
"Why are you standing here?"
"Going back to His Majesty the King of Jin, we paid the entrance fees outside the door. When we came in, the guards said that you and the Supreme Emperor were coming to this forge. Therefore, we came here, but no one led us, so we couldn't get in.
Can you wait here."
Changsun Wuji quickly held up his hands and explained.
At the same time, he also glanced at Changsun Chong.
Immediately, several people looked at Li Yuan aside intentionally or unintentionally. To be precise, it was the strange pair of glasses Li Yuan was wearing on his face.
"Since you are here for the glasses, come in with me!"
Li Xuan didn't say much, but walked directly in.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji and others' eyes flashed with anticipation, and they quickly followed Li Xuan and walked in.
"hiss……"
"this?"
After entering, the expressions of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were almost the same as the expressions of Li Yuan and others just now, they were all full of shock.
"These small glass pieces are spectacle lenses. You need to pick up a lens first and put it in front of your eyes..."
Li Xuan introduced in detail again.
And with Li Yuan's experience just now, Letai and other painters can make lenses faster.
With so many people, they were all finished in less than an hour.
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others all looked overjoyed after putting on their glasses.
Immediately, he bowed respectfully to Li Xuan.
"Thank you, Your Highness, these glasses are like the second pair of eyes I've been waiting for!"
“No need to thank you!”
Li Xuantan smiled, stretched out his hands to several people, and said: "Since everyone is interested in this, then pay for it!"
"Pay?"
Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were stunned for a moment.
Immediately, with a look of realization on their faces, they quickly took out their money bags from their waists.
Inside, there was money that had been prepared for a long time.
"You are really happy. If anyone else wants these glasses, they can come here!"
Li Xuan said.
"The king is indeed a wonderful man..."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji, Fang Yizhi and others couldn't help but look shocked.
Afterwards, he solemnly saluted Li Xuan again, and everyone left with happy faces.
Back in Chang'an City, all the civil servants, especially the elderly civil servants, were moved with emotion after seeing the glasses worn by Chang Sun Wuji and others.
Next, for several days in a row, the outside of Lijiazhuang was filled with people again.
The people who come here are all elderly civil servants, and occasionally some military generals.
In just a few days, hundreds of dollars were collected just for banker fees.
At the same time, during this period, the imperial guards of Lijiazhuang were also withdrawn by Li Shimin and were taken over by the guards of the Jin Palace.
Xue Rengui began to stay in Lijiazhuang.
At the same time, in Lijiazhuang, Li Xuan also began to directly build a martial arts training ground, which was also an indoor martial arts training ground.
From then on, every day, there were a group of guards from the Jin Palace practicing at the martial arts training ground.
Or, Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin were sparring with Xue Rengui.
Swords, guns, swords and halberds, axes, axes, hooks and forks, boring sticks and sticks!
Basically, they are all weapons forged from fine steel, which can be made by Xue Rengui, Cheng Chusi and others!
…
And Chang'an City.
It also started to get lively.
A group of aristocratic family heads came in a hurry from all over the place.
This time, Li Shimin did not give the heads of these aristocratic families a chance to gather and discuss.
When these aristocratic families took the initiative to ask to see him, he directly summoned all the aristocratic families into the Tai Chi Hall.
"Your Majesty, the salt field is the foundation of the family that our ancestors and I have worked hard to cultivate. This matter is really hard for us to accept!"
However, as soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking about the salt banknote method, the heads of all the aristocratic families all changed their faces and hurriedly stood up and said.
"So what do you want to do?"
Li Shimin asked with an indifferent expression.
"this?"
Hearing this, all the aristocratic families could not help but be shocked.
"Your Majesty, we sell salt for profit! Why don't Your Majesty raise the price of refined salt and coarse salt, while we lower the price of bitter salt, so..."
"snort!"
Before the head of the aristocratic family could finish speaking, Li Shimin snorted coldly.
"Every one of you has at least a thousand acres of fertile land in your family. Every year, you can earn at least a million dollars from the shop in your home. Are you still not satisfied? Why are you still greedy for the few pennies in the common people's book?"
"Still, do you think I don't have many salt ponds? Or do you think that without your salt ponds, the people of the world will have no salt to eat?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Exactly, your majesty is a saint of the Tang Dynasty. Why should your majesty personally take care of the salt matter? We are incompetent..."
"I am hosting a banquet here to meet you to discuss the matter of salt. If you want to quarrel with me, don't do it. There are already piles of memorials on my table that I need to review!"
Li Shimin's face gradually darkened.
Xuan Ba is right, you shouldn't have a good attitude towards people from these aristocratic families, otherwise it will be easy for them to get into trouble!
"Your Majesty, I have come all the way to Chang'an City just because I want to have a calm talk with Your Majesty!"
A man from an aristocratic family lived there and said quickly.
"You may have forgotten that the quality of the refined salt and coarse salt cooked by Xueli Salt Shop is far from the bitter salt on the market! I am not lacking in salt fields. As for the salt man, I am not lacking in it!
I wonder if you are sitting here today, what confidence do you have to dare to negotiate terms with me?"
As he said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but chuckle.
"Your Majesty, we are waiting for the noble family..."
A trace of anger flashed across the face of an aristocratic family leader. He was about to say something, but when he saw Li Shimin's calm expression, he couldn't help but be startled subconsciously.
"I once asked someone for a strategy, and that person told me that if reasoning doesn't make sense, then I can only open up the battle, have a fight, and then reason with each other, and everything will make sense!"
Li Shimin said slowly.
Hearing this, all the aristocratic families had a flash of surprise in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, why is this happening?"
"Exactly, Your Majesty, regarding the salt fields, since we are here in person, we are naturally sincere!"
