Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 865
"Your Majesty is a beautiful boy..."

Empress Changsun praised Li Shimin's words, and then came over and picked up the mirror to look at it.

Empress Changsun is a relatively calm and cultivated person.

So although he liked it very much when he saw that he was beautiful in the mirror, she didn't yell like other people. She just smiled and nodded, and then glanced greedily at Li Shimin.

The two of them, husband and wife, still have a tacit understanding.

So when Li Shimin saw Empress Changsun's eyes, he nodded tacitly, and then looked directly at Qin Tian and said, "Okay, the treasure Qin Aiqing presented is not bad, I like it very much."

Contribute?

Qin Tian smiled wryly, he was making a contribution, obviously it was you who stole it out of hand, okay?
However, when Li Shimin said it was a contribution, it was a contribution.

"It's my honor that the Holy Majesty likes it."

Li Shimin was also very happy to see that Qin Tian was very good.

"Qin Aiqing, do you still have this mirror? There are too few pieces."

There are still many concubines in Li Shimin's harem. If Empress Changsun wants such a good thing, other concubines must also want it, so if there are any, he would like to ask for a few more as gifts.

Qin Tian's heart was bleeding, and he said, "Your Majesty, Duke Lu and the others are already looking for glass. If they can find the glass, it's not a problem for your Majesty to ask for a few pieces."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and after saying a few more words, he sent Qin Tian away.

What he wants now is a mirror, and now that the goal has been achieved, what is left for Qin Tian?
Here Qin Tian, ​​after wryly smiling, quickly retreated.

The autumn wind in Chang'an has gradually become bleak.

There are still rumors about Qin Tian making a precious mirror in Chang'an City.

There are also a lot of people who come to ask for the treasure mirror every day, but for these people, Qin Tian can only be perfunctory.

He doesn't have this thing now, even if others want it, what can he do?
However, just three days after Qin Tian made an agreement with Cheng Yaojin and the others, Cheng Yaojin came to the Qin Mansion again.

This time, Cheng Yaojin was particularly excited.

"Okay, okay, you are very lucky, very lucky."

As soon as he came in, Cheng Yaojin yelled loudly, Qin Tian said with a smile: "What does Lu Guogong mean by this, what do you mean I am lucky?"

"The glass was found, do you think it is a good fortune?"

Hearing that the glass was found, Qin Tian was also a little excited. This thing is worthless in later generations, but it is a treasure if it is placed here. However, at this time Qin Tian curled his lips and said: "It should be Lu Guogong. I'm lucky, I don't lack mirrors."

Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and said, "Nowadays there are so many people begging for mirrors. After we get the glass, you sell these mirrors and we share the profits equally. You think you are lucky?"

Greedy like Cheng Yaojin, from the very beginning, he had thought of making money from this, Qin Tian was more and more poignant in his heart, his own skills, but in the end he had to share the money with others.

"What Lu Guogong said is very true. I don't know where this glass comes from. Is there more or less?"

"Of course there are many. Yesterday we met a businessman from a small country in the Western Regions. He has glass there, and he can supply it all the time. You can have as much as you want."

When he heard the words "how much you want, how much you want", Qin Tian's face turned slightly, what kind of concept is this, this is the rhythm of getting rich.

"Okay, okay, after Lu Guogong gets the glass, I will make mirrors for you, and the profit will be shared equally as Lu Guogong said."

This may sound like nonsense, but after thinking about it carefully, you will find that it is obviously not.

Because Qin Tian was telling Lu Guogong that he would not pay for the glass, and he would only pay for the cost and technology of making the mirror. In this way, people like Cheng Yaojin had to get the big money.

If they don't want to, then the business just doesn't work.

Cheng Yaojin is so smart, he can't understand the meaning of Qin Tian's words, but this time, he didn't say anything.

"Okay, okay, of course there is no problem."

It is precisely because Cheng Yaojin is smart that he is very clear about the stakes. If he does not do it, he will not make any money. If he does it, with the popularity of mirrors nowadays, is he afraid that he will not be able to get back his capital?

Generally speaking, business can be done without losing money, but if it makes money, it must be done.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin like this, Qin Tian was a little surprised, he suddenly felt that he really underestimated Cheng Yaojin before.

"So, let's say it like this."

After the two of them said this, Cheng Yaojin went down to buy glass with Yu Chigong and others, and on the third day, they sent the glass to Qin Tian.

And the situation is exactly as Cheng Yaojin said, as much as you want, the windows of several large carriages are pulled into the Qin residence one after another, Qin Tian looked at these windows, and was so excited that he wanted to shout.

"It's all money, it's all money..."

No one is not excited to see money, even if Qin Tian is already rich, he is no exception.

After the glass was delivered, Qin Tian was not idle, and immediately started making mirrors.

Of course, with more glass at this time, there are naturally more choices for the style of the mirror. You can make a larger mirror so that if you stand it in the room, it can illuminate your whole body.

Then there are some small mirrors that can be carried with you, so that no matter where you go, you can take them out for a photo, and there are some mirrors that are placed on the dressing table for makeup and eyebrow tracing.

There are many types of mirrors. After they are made, they need to be decorated a little bit. After all, they are for sale. If the mirrors are made to look better, they will naturally be more popular with the wealthy people in Chang'an City.

Only the rich can afford this thing.

Bronze mirrors were already common to the people of the Tang Dynasty, but only some rich and powerful could afford them. Qin Tian's mirrors were even better than bronze mirrors, so ordinary people naturally couldn't afford them.

This thing was originally used by rich people.

Soon, this kind of thing will become a symbol of rich people.

After Qin Tian started making mirrors, the orders for buying had already flowed in like snowflakes, and at the same time, there were box after box of deposits.

Money, for Qin Tian at this time, came a little too easily.

But there is no way, who made everyone want the mirror made by Qin Tian.

It didn't take long for mirrors to become popular in Chang'an City. Qin Tian and Cheng Yaojin made a lot of money. However, for them, the entire mirror market has not been developed yet. Selling to all parts of Datang, even other countries, that is the ability.

Therefore, Qin Tian still asked Cheng Yaojin to buy glass from merchants in the Western Regions.
