Li Shimin

Chapter 98 Wang Shen met the prince
"Thank you king!"

After listening, a trace of astonishment 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 those aristocratic families in Chang'an City!

At the same time, I also understand why these days, there are people pretending to be merchants and peddlers, wandering around outside the village every day!

It also provoked those children in the village, standing at the entrance of the village every day, watching the excitement!

"It's the king who thanks Master!"

Li Shimin quickly said: "If the master didn't give me the glass to sell, I would still have to worry about some money now!"

What Li Shimin said was true.

In the past two years, the Datang treasury has been so barren!

In the treasury, apart from rat droppings, not even a rat can be seen!
Although the national treasury has improved a bit this year, it is still unable to make ends meet.

"Since your Majesty is so short of money, you can sell some glass objects to those Hu merchants!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan said slowly.

"Sell to Hu merchants?"

Li Shimin was startled.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuandao, "Hu merchants specialize in selling strange objects in the Tang Dynasty and those barbarian countries, and get high money from them. Therefore, the king can raise the price of those glass objects ten times again. I believe those Hu merchants will grab them." want!"

What Li Xuan didn't expect was that Li Shimin nodded and said, "This king believes in this matter."

Afterwards, seeing Li Xuan's puzzled expression, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, and explained: "Although the artisans in the mansion have burned tens of thousands of glass objects in the past few days, these glass objects are now in Chang'an City. It is still a scarce item, and ten thousand gold is hard to find. Therefore, not to mention Hu merchants, even some aristocratic families will want it!"

"This……"

At this moment, Li Xuan's expression froze.

"In this way, the king can also choose some glass objects and sell them to Hu merchants at ten times the price. As for who the Hu merchants sell to, it is up to them to decide."

"In addition, you can also put some white wine in glass bottles and increase its price by a hundred times, or a thousand times. Then, the king can send a caravan to sell it to Turks or Tuyuhun, Baekje, Goguryeo, Dashi, Tubo, etc. The country can also earn a lot of money!"

"A thousand times?"

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian on the side were all taken aback, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.

"Master, the price is so expensive, are those barbarians willing to buy it?"

"Your Majesty, a bottle of such exquisite immortal wine only costs a thousand or ten thousand guan, why are those nobles not willing to buy it?"

Li Xuan chuckled, looked at Li Shimin, and replied with an inexplicable expression.

"Fairy brew?"

Now, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were shocked again.

After a while, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Xuan with great joy.

"Master is indeed worthy of being a hermit master!"

However, Cheng Chusi and the others on the side were still full of doubts.

"Hey, Chongyi, you said that such a bottle of wine is just packed 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 before, how would you feel when you suddenly saw this kind of glass bottle?"

"I will definitely feel that the glass bottle is the most exquisite and magical object in the world!"

Without even thinking about it, 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 told you that these are fairy wine? Moreover, it was 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!"

"Brutal behavior!"

Li Xuan couldn't help glaring at Cheng Chusi who was full of excitement, and said, "But, although you have a lot of money, for some reason you can't beat the opponent, and you can't even snatch it?"

"Then I'll buy it at any cost!"

Now, Cheng Chusi really understood, and looked at Li Xuan with admiration.

"Master is really clever!"

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Seeing that Cheng Chusi finally understood, Li Xuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

As for Li Shimin, the purpose of coming to Lijiazhuang was achieved, and then he sat on the sofa and sipped tea leisurely, and then watched Cheng Chusi and the others cook.

However, after eating, he took Li Wei directly and rushed back to Chang'an City.

It's just that Li Shimin didn't know that when he left Lijiazhuang, there was a team of people in a dense forest outside Lijiazhuang, closely watching their convoy.

"Are you sure you read it correctly, the one sitting inside is Your Majesty?"

A young man in fancy clothes asked the guard in front of him with a face full of surprise.

It was the king of Lu who hunted here, Li Yuanchang.

"Returning to Your Highness, the villain did not see His Majesty, but I do recognize the guards beside the carriage!"

The guard quickly replied.

"Guard? Who is it?"

"Li Wei!"

"Li Wei? The commander of the inner guard beside His Majesty?"

"Exactly!"

"In that case, the person in the car is really His Majesty. But, why did Your Majesty go to Lijiazhuang?"

Thinking about it, Li Yuanchang couldn't help but ponder, "Could it be possible that His Majesty has also taken a fancy to the glass business?"

"Your Highness, do you want to ask His Majesty or the Crown Prince?"

On the side, the butler Sun Ying quickly suggested.

"idiot!"

Hearing this, Li Yuanchang couldn't help but glared at Sun Ying, and said: "If His Majesty knows that the king is also paying attention to the glass, he will definitely inform Li Xiaogong, or strictly order the king not to disturb that strange person. And when the time comes, This king can't even drink a mouthful of soup!"

Sun Ying's face changed slightly, he quickly shrank his neck, and explained with a panicked expression: "Yes, yes, the king is wise, the villain was almost confused!"

"Okay, since I already know the situation of that strange person, I will come here first today, and I will talk about it when I go back!"

Li Yuanchang waved his hands casually, and with the support of the guards on the side, he jumped on the big red horse. The guards on the side were holding some wild animals that had just been hunted, as if he had come out of the city for a hunting trip.

Afterwards, a group of people followed the path they had just come over, circled around, and entered Chang'an City from Yanping Gate.

"My lord, just now a gentleman came to see you!"

As soon as he returned to the palace, a servant hurried forward and said to Li Yuanchang.

"Who is it?"

Li Yuanchang asked casually.

"Back to the king, it seems to be a man surnamed Wang!"

The servant replied.

"Surnamed Wang?"

Hearing this, Li Yuanchang's expression changed, "Can you leave a name card?"

"Back to the king, that gentleman knew that the king was not there, and only left a sentence of coming back tomorrow, then turned and left, leaving nothing behind!"

The servant hurriedly replied.

"This king knows, you go down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

the next day.

Three poles in the sun.

Li Yuanchang had just woken up when he heard a servant report that the Wang Langjun came to the door again yesterday.

Under the service of the maid, get dressed.

As soon as he walked to the front hall, he saw a young man in purple clothes with a hooded head.

"Wang Shen met the king!"
