Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 550: Zhu Yuanzhang's Eyes Are Full of Gold
Chapter 550: Zhu Yuanzhang's Eyes Are Full of Gold
Brilliant!

This was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang truly understood what these four words meant!
In fact, because the Jinshen Hall is too large and does not have enough windows, the light entering the house is very poor.

This meant that even during the day, candles had to be lit deep inside the hall.

But it is precisely because of the candlelight nearby that this wonderful sight is created.

When the candlelight from all directions shone onto the "piece of glass" produced for the first time in Mr. Hu's arms, a colorful halo was created.

In fact, if this piece of glass were placed in later generations, it would be an unqualified product.

Because the raw materials of this thing contain too many impurities, and the tools used during shaping are not compliant, so the transparency is a problem in the first place.

You might not be able to see it if you don't look closely, but now when illuminated by this light, the various "color spots" and "color blocks" in the glass plate immediately refract a natural and colorful halo that can never be repeated.

"What the hell is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang jumped up immediately.

There was one black and one white, and at the first moment he actually thought that Master Hu had found some magical weapon.

Master Hu laughed out loud when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's startled expression.

"Hahahaha, your majesty, look at you like that!"

"This is something I made myself in the backyard with my craftsmen!"

In fact, Mr. Hu had just said this, but Zhu Yuanzhang forgot it after seeing the thing.

Now that it was mentioned again, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer believed it.

"You...you made this yourself?"

"When did you become capable of this?"

Master Hu directly handed the glass plate in his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked him to take a closer look at it, while he acted as a commentator on the side.

"This thing, how should I put it? In terms of craftsmanship, it's just like smelting iron using a furnace!"

“This thing is just beautiful!”

"You can't eat it, you can't wear it, and you can't do anything important, you just look good!"

"But the strength of this thing is that it really looks good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Master Hu's explanation while looking carefully at the cold glass plate in his hand, his heart filled with emotions.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Master Hu with an extremely complicated expression.

"Weiyong, I don't know whether to praise you or criticize you!"

"Look at you. You don't want to be an official, but you spend your days wandering around. And yet you can come up with something as magical as this."

"Tell me, what do you think?"

"How did they come up with something like this?"

Master Hu laughed out loud, not minding at all the complaints in Zhu Yuanzhang's words just now. Instead, he spread his hands with a proud look on his face.

"That's the kind of person I am!"

"I love to play and toss!"

"Your Majesty, I told you long ago that I have already had enough fame, fortune and honor in my life."

"Then besides the hobbies that all gentlemen have, such as enjoying the company of beautiful women and girls, I must find something else to kill time!"

"And these things are what I figured out when I was bored!"

"Nothing special. I am rich enough. Since my efforts have failed, I can just pull someone else to try again."

"It's not like we can't afford to pay the workers or buy the raw materials. I have plenty of time, so I'll just do it slowly!"

"There will always be a time for success. Look, here we have the result!"

It's not to mention that although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to complain about Master Hu's theory, he had to admit that there was some twisted logic in it. To put it bluntly, Master Hu, who was rich and free, would have no problem having some hobbies as long as he didn't form gangs to rebel or harm the people.

It's impossible for him, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to interfere in other people's backyards, right?

"So you made this thing and came here just to show off?"

Zhu Yuanzhang finally calmed down, and decisively asked about the purpose of Mr. Hu's visit.

In his opinion, Mr. Hu is definitely not such a "diligent" person.

If he had just made a nice toy, Master Hu would certainly not have hidden it from him, but he would definitely not have rushed to the palace in a hurry.

And since Master Hu is here, he definitely has other ideas.

What's more, Zhu Yuanzhang actually guessed it right.

"Oh, Your Majesty is so wise. Your guess is quite accurate. Yes, I just want to get Your Majesty to do business with me."

"Well, I'm in the glass business!"

"What?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up in surprise again.

He almost doubted whether his ears were broken today, otherwise, why did he always hear some unexpected words.

But Master Hu came here for this matter, so naturally he had to make things clear.

"Your Majesty, you heard me right. I want you to join me in this business!"

"Don't underestimate this matter. The reason why I dragged you into this is because this thing is too profitable."

"To be honest, even though I have some reputation in the Ming Dynasty, I still feel that the benefits behind this thing are too staggering and cannot be controlled by one person."

"So, after much thought, I think it's most reliable to make this money with Your Majesty. There can't be anyone who is more powerful than the two of us, right?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know if there was anyone more powerful than the two of them, the emperor and his minister, but he knew it now, and his head was buzzing.

Because he has been a grandfather for many years since he was a child.

It was the first time that he was asked to do business.

Over the years, some people forced him to be a beggar, some forced him to rebel and kill officials, and he did all kinds of messy things.

But this is his first time doing business.

However, after listening to Mr. Hu's explanation and thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly reacted.

Too much money?
The benefits are too great?

Wei Yong couldn't even cover it up himself?
So you want to take us along?

The king and his ministers teamed up to make money?

hiss……

No, why do we feel that this matter makes our hearts beat fast?

Zhu Yuanzhang's greedy and stingy nature was not only known to his old brothers like Master Hu, but he himself knew it too.

But precisely because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not restrain himself at all in front of these people.

You all know it anyway, why should I hide it?!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at the glittering piece of glass in his hand, and pondered the various benefits that Mr. Hu had just mentioned.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up completely.

"Come on, Weiyong, I think this is something that can be done!"

"Come on, come on, let's sit down and talk about it in detail. How did the king and his subjects join forces?"

"Aren't you afraid that you will have a bad reputation outside?"
