After listening, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the two glass shops made so much money. It seems that he still underestimated the wealth of the wealthy families in Chang'an City!
At the same time, I also understood why in the past few days, there were people wandering around outside the village dressed as traders and hawkers every day!
It offends those children in the village who stand at the entrance of the village every day and watch the fun!
"It's me, the king, who wants to thank you!"
Li Shimin quickly said: "If Master hadn't given me the glass to sell, I would still be struggling for some money now!"
What Li Shimin said is true.
In the past two years, the Tang treasury has been so poor!
In the treasury, apart from rat droppings, not even a rat can be seen!
Although the national treasury is better this year, it still cannot make ends meet.
"Since the prince is so short of money, he can sell some glass objects to those Hu merchants!"
After hearing this, Li Xuan said slowly.
"Sold to Hu merchants?"
Li Shimin was startled.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuandao said, "Hu merchants specialize in selling rare objects in the Tang Dynasty and barbarian countries, and get a lot of money from them. Therefore, the prince can increase the price of those glass objects ten times again. I believe those Hu merchants will rush for them."
want!"
What Li Xuan didn't expect was that Li Shimin nodded and said, "I believe this."
Then, seeing Li Xuan's confused look, Li Shimin slowly breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Although the craftsmen in the house have fired tens of thousands of glass objects in the past few days, these glass objects are now in Chang'an City.
It’s still a scarce item, and it’s hard to find it even with ten thousand dollars. Therefore, not to mention Hu Shang, even some wealthy families will want it!”
"this……"
At this time, Li Xuan's expression froze.
"In this case, the prince can also choose some glass objects and sell them to Hu merchants at ten times the price. As for whom Hu merchants sell them to, it is up to them to decide."
"In addition, you can also put some liquor in glass bottles and increase its price to a hundred times or a thousand times. Then, the prince can send a caravan to sell it to Turks or Tuyuhun, Baekje, Goguryeo, Dashi, Tubo, etc.
The country can also make a lot of money!"
"A thousand times?"
Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were all stunned, with a trace of doubt flashing in their eyes.
"Master, the price is so expensive, are those barbarians willing to buy it?"
"Your Majesty, a bottle of such exquisite fairy wine only costs one thousand or ten thousand guan. Why are those nobles reluctant to buy it?"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, looked at Li Shimin, and replied with an inexplicable expression.
"Fairy Brew?"
At this time, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian looked shocked again.
After a moment, Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Xuan with a face full of joy.
"Master is truly worthy of being an expert hermit!"
However, Cheng Chusi and others on the side were still full of doubts.
"Hey, Chongyi, you said that a bottle of wine is just put in a glass bottle, how can it become a fairy wine?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know either!"
"I do not know either……"
Seeing the doubts of Cheng Chusi and others, Li Xuan explained: "You can think about it, you have never seen glass, how would you feel when you suddenly see this kind of glass bottle?"
“You will definitely feel that the glass bottle is the most exquisite and magical object in the world!”
Without thinking, Cheng Chusi replied directly.
"What if there is some fine wine in the glass bottle?"
"It's still good wine!" Cheng Chusi replied.
"Then what if someone tells you that these are fairy brews? Moreover, they were brought back from a distant empire and there is only one bottle. What would you do?" Li Xuan asked.
"Thank you, Master, I understand!"
Hearing this, Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi immediately understood.
"Master, I will definitely bring someone to snatch it over and have a good taste of it!"
"Barbarian behavior!"
Li Xuan couldn't help but glared at Cheng Chusi, who was full of excitement, and said, "But even though you are extremely wealthy, for some reason you can't defeat the other party, or even rob him?"
"Then I will buy it at any cost!"
At this time, Cheng Chusi really understood and looked at Li Xuan with admiration on his face.
"Master is really smart!"
"The boy is teachable!"
Seeing that Cheng Chusi finally understood, Li Xuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
As for Li Shimin, his purpose of coming to Lijiazhuang was achieved, so he sat on the sofa and sipped tea leisurely, and then watched Cheng Chusi and others cooking.
However, after eating, he took Li Wei directly back to Chang'an City.
But Li Shimin didn't know that when he left Lijiazhuang, there was a group of people in a dense forest outside Lijiazhuang, staring closely at their motorcade.
"Are you sure you read correctly? The person sitting inside is His Majesty?"
A young man in rich clothes asked the guard in front of him with a surprised look on his face.
It was King Lu Li Yuanchang who came here on a hunting trip.
"Back to Your Majesty, I didn't see Your Majesty, but I do recognize the guard beside the carriage!"
The guard replied quickly.
"Guard? Who is he?"
"Li Wei!"
"Li Wei? The commander of the inner guard beside His Majesty?"
"Exactly!"
"So, the person in the car is really Your Majesty. But why did Your Majesty go to Lijiazhuang?"
Thinking about it, Li Yuanchang couldn't help but look thoughtful, "Is it possible that His Majesty is also interested in the glass business?"
"Your Highness, why don't you ask your Majesty or the Crown Prince?"
On the side, steward Sun Ying quickly suggested.
"idiot!"
Hearing this, Li Yuanchang couldn't help but glared at Sun Ying and said: "If His Majesty knows that I am also paying attention to breaking the glass, he will definitely inform Li Xiaogong, or strictly order me not to disturb that strange man. Anyway, when the time comes,
I can’t even drink a mouthful of soup!”
Sun Ying's face changed slightly, he quickly shrank his neck, and explained with a fearful expression: "Yes, yes, the prince is wise, but the villain almost got confused!"
"Okay, since we already know the situation of that strange man, we will come here today and we will talk about it later when we go back!"
Li Yuanchang waved his hand casually, and with the help of a guard on the side, he jumped onto the big red horse. The guard on the side also held some freshly hunted wild animals in his hands. It really seemed like he had come out of the city for a hunting trip.
Afterwards, the group of people followed the path they had just come from, made a circle, and entered Chang'an City from Yanping Gate.
"Your Majesty, a husband just came to see you!"
As soon as he returned to the palace, a servant hurriedly came forward and said to Li Yuanchang.
"Who is it?"
Li Yuanchang asked casually.
"Looking back to the prince, he seems to be a gentleman named Wang!"
The servant replied.
"Surnamed Wang?"
Hearing this, Li Yuanchang's expression changed, "Can you leave a famous post?"
"Going back to the prince, when the gentleman learned that the prince was not here, he only said to come back tomorrow, then turned around and left, leaving nothing behind!"
The servant quickly replied.
"I know, please go down!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
the next day.
Three poles in the sun.
Li Yuanchang had just gotten up when he heard a report from his servants that Wang Langjun came to the door again yesterday.
Under the service of the maid, put on your clothes.
As soon as I walked into the front hall, I saw a young man wearing purple clothes.
