The crackling of firecrackers sounds, New Year is here!
Lin Yi still insists on getting up early for running. Every morning, he runs a lap in his palace, followed by a quarter of an hour of horse walking. He doesn't know when he will reach the half hour required by Uncle Liang, but Lin Yi also feels that
, I have indeed become a lot stronger recently.
The more than five hundred people crowded into his palace seemed a bit messy. Fortunately, the room was very warm, even if they lived on the ground, otherwise his palace might really be overcrowded.
Li Chengqian's thinking was right. Fortunately, he opened two clothing stores, otherwise they would not even be able to eat now. Now in the Tang Dynasty, simple and cloth-saving clothes began to become popular, with unique embroidery, mixing them into a strange style.
Lin Yi, who finally had some free time, was thinking about new ways to make money, but it was still not enough! Although the emperor granted him a piece of land outside Chang'an City so that he could build houses and arrange for those people, he had to prepare the money himself.
Some time ago, envoys from various countries arrived one after another. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor would hold a grand banquet to celebrate with the envoys from various countries. In Lin Yi's view, this meant one word: trouble!
It's okay if he doesn't attend. Li Chengqian wants him to accompany him, which he can understand, but why does his godfather want him to attend too?!
There was light snow falling outside, and red lanterns were hung in the house, making the house look full of joy.
It's still a little dark! It would be nice if there was a magic lamp.
Lin Yi weighed the crystal in his hand. Such a large crystal could only make about ten lamps, which was really distressing!
I have to do it even though it hurts! I still want to make a fortune from it!
Lin Yi prepared the materials again, pricked his finger, and squeezed out two drops of blood. It seemed that he would really have to go shopping one day. If he couldn't find the magic primer again, he would be drained sooner or later.
The spar with the drawn formation was installed under the candlestick, and then the magic circuit was carved on the copper pillar of the candlestick to allow the magic elements to flow smoothly. When Lin Yi stopped writing, a bright ball rose from the top of the candlestick.
, the light emitted illuminated the entire room. Lin Yi thought for a while and added a glass cover on top, so that no one would touch it, otherwise the heat of the light ball would burn his hands.
He made ten candlestick-like magic lamps, and he planned to sell them all and use them to buy crystals. This thing cannot be sold cheaply. It is very expensive to make. The light dense silver Lin also spent ten taels of silver.
Refined.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yi changed his clothes and prepared to enter the palace. If he wanted to sell something, he would have to rely on the Emperor's Jubaozhai. If he sold it himself, there was a 99% chance of being robbed.
This is the first time he has entered the palace on his own initiative after moving into the palace. But it happened to be during the Chinese New Year, and he even had a New Year greeting! Li Shimin was not in court today, so he happened to be able to catch him. He still had to talk to his godfather,
If it were his godmother, it would be great if he could earn 30% of his income.
Nothing can be compromised this time!
The little eunuch who led the way took him to the Manna Hall. As soon as Lin Yi stepped in, he heard a clear male voice.
"Haha, is Yi'er here to give Father the New Year's gift?" Li Shimin stood up with a smile. Just now he heard from Eunuch Gao that Lin Yi came in with a box. He was really looking forward to it!
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, it turned out that no one in the royal family was easy to deal with.
"This is going to be sold. I can only give you 30%. I'm short of money and there are many people to support." Lin Yi hugged the small box in his arms defensively. He had to pick it out first, otherwise it would take a while.
Maybe even his share is gone.
"Hahaha..." Li Shimin was so happy. This child was so innocent. Look at his tight little face and his guarded expression. He looked like a little sheep meeting a wolf!
Li Shimin was in a good mood and decided to agree to his conditions. In fact, he didn't want it this time. He also knew that Lin Yi was very short of money recently, not to mention that he was taking the money to do business. But since he took the initiative to send it to his door
, then don’t do it for free!….
"I promise you, open it quickly and let me see what kind of novelty it is?"
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he was not a business material and would not even negotiate the price. If his godfather had not been merciful this time, he would probably have to count the money for his godfather after he was sold!
Lin Yi took out a candlestick from the box and placed it on the table.
Li Shimin looked at it for a long time and noticed something special. He just removed the candle and put a glass cover on it? What's the use of that?
Lin Yi turned around and blew out all the candles in the palace. The palace became dark. Although it was daytime, the snow was falling outside and there was no sun, so the effect could be seen.
Lin Yi clicked on the candlestick, and Li Shimin saw a silver-white ball slowly rising from the glass cover of the candlestick, emitting a soft light. After a while, the ball became brighter and brighter.
The whole hall is illuminated brightly.
Li Shimin squinted his eyes, trying to adapt to this brightness. It's really a good thing. He won't have to read so hard when reviewing memorials in the future.
"What's this called? How do you plan to sell it?"
"It's called a magic lamp. It's very expensive and the materials are hard to find." Lin Yi showed Li Shimin the remaining fingernail-sized crystal in his hand.
"You need spar, and I'm the only one who can make it." He made the move first. Anyway, if he didn't say anything, Li Shimin would have to ask later.
"Crystal again?" Li Shimin picked up the crystal in Lin Yi's hand. Lin Yi frequently used crystals to make good things, so he couldn't help but ignore it.
"It seems like all this stuff comes from Cochin?" He remembered someone mentioned once that there was a crystal mine there.
"Jiaozhi? Where is it?" Lin Yi's eyes lit up. They were all coming from there. There must be spar mines there.
"The southernmost part of the Tang Dynasty is very far away. It will take a year to get there." Li Shimin smiled. He could buy it at a high price in the capital, and those merchants would naturally bring it to him.
Lin also discovered that Li Shimin was not very interested in the spar mine, but he himself had to get it. No one knew the importance of the spar better than him.
But how can we arouse Li Shimin's interest? He cannot develop a mine like this by himself.
"Father, does he have any crystals?" Lin Yi thought for a moment and raised his head and asked.
"There are some, they are all tributes from various places. Gao Yuan, bring me all the crystals in the library." Li Shimin ordered loudly.
It is indeed a treasure of the imperial palace! Lin Yi looked at the tray in Gao Yuan's hand with bright eyes.
Not only the size of the crystal, but also the crystal with attributes, which is so rare! Ordinary crystals have no attributes, so when special magical attributes are needed, a magic circle must be used to transform them, but
This kind of transformation will always waste part of the magic power. Of course, it is better to use this kind of attribute crystal directly.
Lin Yi held a red crystal and said with a smile: "Daddy, I will show you something good in two days."
Then he pulled up the silk on the tray, packed all the crystal stones, and ran out of the Manna Palace.
"Hahaha... It's so rare! This brat robbed me once!" Li Shimin smiled as he watched Lin Yi run away, and then looked at the bright hall. If there were more good things like this, he would be able to rob me every day.
