"My son, please see your father!" Li Tai bowed and saluted.
I don't know if he was pretending on purpose or because he was obese, but he seemed to be particularly strenuous when he saluted.
"Qingque is here, come on, sit down and talk." Li Shimin said with some distress when he saw Li Tai's look.
"Thank you, Father!"
Li Mu quickly stepped forward to help Li Tai.
"Why did Qingque come to see my father?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
Li Tai said: "Father, I have discovered that since the Tang Dynasty does not have a geographical chronicle of its own, and I am not talented, I would like to ask for permission to compile a geographical chronicle belonging to the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Tai explained to Li Shimin the benefits of compiling geography in a eloquent manner. These were all taught to him by Han Wen when he came here.
Li Shimin said happily: "Qingque, this is a good thing. I agree. You can do it according to your ideas."
Of course he knew what Li Tai was thinking. Now that Li Tai was determined to compile a geographical chronicle, he was very pleased.
"Father, I need some literati to help me." Li Tai said with his hand.
When Li Shimin heard that he wanted someone, he said with some embarrassment: "Qingque, postpone the revision of geographical annals for now. I can't send anyone to help you now!"
Kong Yingda wants to rewrite the book and add punctuation marks.
Although not all books should be rewritten, just the Four Books, Five Classics and some commonly used books would require a large number of people, and he currently has no one for Li Tai.
"Father, why!" Li Tai was stunned. Li Shimin had just said he supported him, so why would he postpone it?
Li Shimin made Lin Xuan make punctuation marks, and Kong Yingda told Li Tai that he wanted to rewrite the book.
"Father, I understand!" Li Tai said with a smile.
Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan again.
Li Tai was very angry because Lin Xuan always ruined his good deeds.
…
"Your Majesty, did your Majesty not agree?" Han Wen asked quickly when he saw Li Tai coming back with an unhappy expression.
Li Tai nodded, shook his head, and said, "Father agreed, but no one has given it to me now!"
Li Tai told Han Wen what happened.
Han Wen frowned after hearing this. It would be easy to deal with it if there was no one. Five surnames and Qiwang plus other aristocratic families would have more people.
But they advocated the revision of books, in addition to pleasing Li Shimin, their other purpose was to attract talents.
If the aristocratic family sends people to help Li Tai edit the book, it will be very inconsistent with their original intention.
It will also expose the family's support for Li Tai.
"Your Highness, this matter can only be postponed. Your Highness might as well find a way to win over Lin Xuan first," Han Wen said.
"Winning over Lin Xuan? I want to kill him now!" Li Tai said with a ferocious expression on his face.
Not only did Lin Xuan help Li Chengqian, but he also ruined his good deeds several times. Now that Lin Xuan was mentioned, he became angry.
"Your Highness, be careful. Don't you want to take over the East Palace? After His Highness succeeds, Lin Xuan can do whatever he wants to do with it?" Han Wen said.
Li Tai was just stunned with anger. If he was really asked to kill Lin Xuan, he really wouldn't be able to do it.
Although he doesn't get along with Li Chengqian, he still has a good relationship with his sister Li Lizhi.
"I know it!" Li Tai said.
…
The next day, the fine colored glaze produced by Xu Guangfu's kiln was delivered to the Lin family.
Lin Xuan did not look at the colored glaze first, but asked: "How many pieces are there in this kiln?"
"Back to the Marquis, there are thirty-one items in total this time!" Xu Guangfu said.
Lin Xuan was very satisfied. He originally thought that more than twenty pieces would be enough, but he didn't expect that there were a little more than he expected.
"How many fire kilns have you received?" Lin Xuan asked.
Thirty-one items in two days are still too few, not enough to sell.
"Master Marquis, you have already acquired eleven fire kilns, do you want to continue collecting them?" Xu Guangfu said.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said, "No, I'll hurry up and burn it when I arrange for someone to come over."
Including another kiln, there are twelve in total. If each kiln averages 25 pieces at a time, it can produce 300 pieces in two days, which is 4,500 pieces in a month.
This quantity is completely enough. He must have sold it very expensively in the early stage.
Only after the family has made money will he consider lowering prices. At that time, it will not be too late to increase production.
"When installing windows in the house, remember to let the kiln burn the glass I told you about, and then install it on the windows!" Lin Xuan explained.
His idea of getting glass was to install windows. Making money was secondary, but he couldn't put the cart before the horse.
"yes!"
Xu Guangfu thought it was too wasteful to install colored glaze worth thousands of gold on the windows, but he couldn't say anything.
Lin Xuan asked Xu Guangfu to go to work and opened the box to check it out.
This time I made cups and bowls, and they are in very good condition.
"Liu Da, ask people to load the boxes onto the carriage and ask them to be careful not to break them." Lin Xuan ordered.
"yes!"
Liu Da knew that the box was full of colored glaze, so it goes without saying that he also knew to be careful.
Liu Da called two soldiers and told them to be careful.
Even so, he was not at ease and kept following behind.
After Liuli loaded the carriage, Lin Xuan rode the lion Cong, and Liu Da personally drove the carriage to the palace.
Liu Da and others could not enter the palace, so Lin Xuan had to ask the guards at the palace gate to find Li Junxian.
"Marquis of Jingyang County, what are you doing?" Li Junxian looked at the box on the carriage with some confusion.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "This is a gift from me to Your Majesty. General Li, please check it and send someone to help me carry it in!"
Li Junxian nodded, stepped forward and opened the box.
Li Junxian was surprised when he saw what was in the box.
He was often around Li Shimin and saw many good things.
But this was his first time seeing a box of colored glaze like this.
Lin Xuan saw Li Junxian's surprised look and said with a smile: "If General Li likes it, I will give you some someday!"
Li Junxian came back to his senses and said calmly: "Thank you Marquis of Jingyang County. This thing is too valuable. How dare I ask for it!"
Although he was a little moved, he didn't dare to take it.
If he takes it, maybe he will be demoted by Li Shimin tomorrow.
Lin Xuan smiled and didn't care.
It was the first time he met Li Junxian and he wanted to make acquaintance, but Li Junxian rejected his kindness.
From then on, he didn't intend to express his friendship.
I just said that I would give a few pieces to Li Junxian because in his opinion, these so-called colored glazes are not valuable at all.
Since people don't want it, of course he won't force it.
Li Junxian checked it carefully, called two guards, and said: "You carry the box and follow the Marquis of Jingyang County. You must be careful on the way and don't damage the contents inside."
"Thank you, General Li!" Lin Xuan thanked him and walked into the palace under the leadership of the eunuch.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingyang County is asking for an audience!" Li Mu reported.
"Let him come in." Li Shimin said.
"I see your Majesty!"
"Excuse me, why did you come to see me?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan said: "Your Majesty, I am here to give you a gift."
Giving gifts?
Li Shimin glanced at Lin Xuan strangely, what kind of gift should I give him if this is not the right time?
Lin Xuan saw Li Shimin's doubts and said in a mysterious manner: "The gifts I brought are already outside. Your Majesty can just let them be brought in."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu and said nothing.
Li Mu understood, hurriedly went out and ordered people to bring in the box that Lin Xuan brought.
After the box was put down, Lin Xuan stepped forward to open it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Li Shimin saw the glass cups and bowls in the box and said in surprise: "Have they been made?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is a fine product fired from the same kiln. I sent them all to Your Majesty."
Li Shimin glanced at Lin Xuan in disbelief and said, "Can you be so honest?"
"Your Majesty, it's true that everything is here, and I haven't left a single thing behind." Lin Xuan said speechlessly.
This thing is regarded as a treasure by you. You can pick it up in the trash in future generations. What's so rare about it?
"I blamed you wrongly." Li Shimin heard Lin Xuan say this and knew that he must not be telling lies.
Li Shimin stepped forward, picked up a cup, and looked at it carefully.
"The colored glaze you fired is better than the colored glaze I have in my treasure house." Li Shimin praised it.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin put down the cup and said, "You can't come here just to give me colored glaze, right?"
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I would like to ask your Majesty for some people."
"Who do you want?"
"Your Majesty, I have a small family background and few trustworthy people. I have bought some kilns and would like to ask Your Majesty for some people to make colored glaze." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "I will ask Li Mu to arrange it for you."
"I also want a shop to sell colored glaze. It would be best if your Majesty sends someone to manage this shop." Lin Xuan said with a cupped hand.
Who knows if Li Shimin will suspect him of embezzlement? The best way is to let Li Shimin send someone to manage it.
Li Shimin took a deep look at Lin Xuan and said: "I will arrange all these, but the person I send does not know Liuli as well as you do. I will let him listen to your arrangements."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now," Lin Xuan said.
"Wait a minute, I heard that you asked Kong Yingda to name your words?" Li Shimin stopped Lin Xuan and asked.
Lin Xuan was stunned. This matter is a private matter. Logically speaking, Kong Yingda should not tell Li Shimin.
When I first talked about this, there was no one else except Kong Yingda and Li Chunfeng.
But he didn't have time to think about it now.
"Your Majesty, I still have two months to be crowned, so I would like to ask Dr. Kong to help me choose a name!" Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "How about I help you?"
Lin Xuan said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I have already told Dr. Kong about this matter. Isn't it a good idea to do this?"
It is certainly good for Li Shimin to give him a name. In ancient times, it was a great honor for the emperor to give him a name. The question is, isn't this equivalent to giving Kong Yingda a pigeon?
What would Kong Yingda think if he found out?
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I will talk to him over there and I won't embarrass you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the words!" Li Shimin had already said this, what else could he say.
Li Shimin said: "You should go back first. Before you are crowned, I will help you pick a good calligraphy."
"I resign!"
Lin Xuan was walking on the way out of the palace, always thinking about how Li Shimin knew that he was asking Kong Yingda to make love.
The first possibility is that Kong Yingda and Li Chunfeng told others and then spread it to Li Shimin's ears.
Another possibility is that there is someone planted by Li Shimin in his family.
If it's the former, that's fine, but if it's the latter, it's terrible.
His biggest secret is time travel and the system, which he will not reveal.
