Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 292 292 The means of turning stone into gold

Wang Buli felt something was wrong with the father and son's verbal reactions.

Because according to his understanding, he said he would do it without spending a penny.

Lao Zhu was destined to shout happily, instead of looking suspicious.

How could he change his gender if he was such a bitch?

Wang Buli never doubted that Zhu Yuanzhang's informants would not be in his government office.

Although he can hide some things, his spy can probably report what he sees to Lao Zhu.

Did Zhu Yuanzhang really not know, or was he pretending not to know?

In short, there is already a chain of suspicion between Wang Buli and Zhu Yuanzhang, so it is difficult to gain the greatest trust from both parties.

"Father-in-law, Prince Brother, I just didn't spend a penny, so I got this done!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and glanced at Wang Buli, "What a good son-in-law we have!"

It would be best to let the big landowners and wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan come and buy it.

If you can't learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, then there will be magic everywhere.

Yitali is a hundred thousand miles away from the Ming Dynasty. Even if they bring colored glaze to the Ming Dynasty to sell it in the future, will they still be able to sell it at a high price?
Obviously impossible.

How could Zhu Biao not be excited?

Wang Buli repeated.

This was his first time seeing magic.

By then, everywhere will be made of colored glaze made by the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yuanzhang had already begun to think about how to sell the sand at a high price and effectively.

But I heard that in Italy, although colored glaze is precious, it is not like what they say and no one can afford it.

Are you still paying the fucking price difference?
You old thing, are you testing me here again?
Wang Buli chuckled: "Your Majesty, you also know that businessmen from Italy come to the Central Plains to sell precious colored glaze.

This is his first time seeing him!

Earn a fortune!
“Midas turns gold into gold!”

Unlike the colored glaze made from Wang Buli's secret recipe, it is much more transparent and variegated is rare.

The quality is obviously different.

Only in this way can his money be turned into my money.

"It doesn't matter, just tell us the truth." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a rare and generous voice: "I really want to make up the difference for you."

"You should be normal."

Glass is so precious, how can you not spend a penny on it?

Worthless sand.

In short.

After my research, I discovered that colored glaze is actually sand that undergoes high temperatures and then turns into colored glaze.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son still had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

As for the merchants from Yitali Kingdom who can also make colored glaze, it's not like he has never seen them before, they all come in various colors.

They thought Wang Buli was deceiving them.

"Liu Li was just discovered by someone first. I took a trick and cracked it open, just like a Luban lock." Wang Buli broke away from Zhu Biao's shaking:
"Brother Prince, please don't get too excited. Any fairy tricks that turn stone into gold are all lies."

Zhu Biao was even more excited. Your kid is finally exposed, right?
Wang Buli shook his head slightly.

We don’t see many here, and the distance is far away, so it’s normal for things to be rare and valuable.

Zhu Biao roared loudly and stepped forward to shake Wang Buli:
"You really know how to turn stone into gold!"

Can it be turned into extremely expensive colored glaze by burning it with fire?
This is nothing but the Midas touch!
Liuli is extremely valuable in the Central Plains.

When he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the steps in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

He believed that with a lucrative business like Liuli, would Ming Dynasty still be short of money?

So as long as I mastered the method, I figured out the secret recipe of Liuli without spending a penny. "

Whether it is a small foreign country or a chieftain from various places, our Ming Dynasty uses worthless sand in exchange for gold, silver and a large amount of materials in their hands.

Otherwise, every time a big case breaks out, those people in Jiangnan will not be implicated.

This is not magic, so what can it be!
Even if Wang Buli's excuse was to crack the secret recipe of a merchant in Yitali, Zhu Biao wouldn't believe it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said oh twice but was speechless.

Although he clearly knew that Wang Buli could enter the fairyland, this method of turning stone into gold could not help him.

Even if you didn't rob it, making it yourself still requires a lot of precious materials!
You really think we don’t know how expensive colored glaze is on the market, right?

For the poor Zhu Chongba, I will take advantage of whoever has money!

They have a lot of money.

Zhu Yuanzhang had always wanted to make money, and his goal was clear, which was to acquire the land owned by the landlords in Jiangnan.

Only then can I have money in hand to do more things.

Wang Buli's showdown made Lao Zhu forget about what had deceived the Korean envoy and kept thinking about how to make big money with colored glaze.

and many more.

But this secret recipe belongs to our son-in-law.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that even though Wang Buli said that he had not spent a penny, he had come up with the secret recipe by himself.

This cannot be taken advantage of by clever means.

Not to mention asking his son-in-law to volunteer.

But Zhu Yuanzhang wanted it again.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about what he could give Wang Buli in exchange for, including a title. Even if he was an earl, he would have no military merit and would be even more unruly.

The most important thing is that Lao Zhu still summarizes this method as a strange and obscene technique.

Is there anyone in the world who can be awarded a knighthood just because of his extravagant skills?

It's a bit difficult.

Zhu Biao has not thought about this problem yet.

He was just addicted to Wang Buli's ability to turn stone into gold, and he wished he could go to Wang Buli's house to see it all.

How those craftsmen did it!

Wang Buli didn't feel anything at all. This kind of primitive glass was just like that. He also planned to have someone paint mercury on the back to make a mirror in the future.

After all, although the bronze mirror could be used to take photos, he still felt that he was not very used to it.

"Dad, I want to go and visit Ning Guo's mansion."

After all, Zhu Biao couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart.

"it is good."

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed immediately because he wanted to think independently.

Wang Buli felt that the fake report to Lao Zhu was over, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he immediately left with Zhu Biao.

Just after they left, Zhu Yuanzhang still frowned and was extremely conflicted.

When it was time for lunch, Queen Ma came over with food as usual. She thought it was father and son, but she never thought that only Chongba was left.

"Your Majesty, why are you still worried?"

Queen Ma heard Zhu Yuanzhang say last night that he had succeeded in coaxing the Korean envoy, and Wang Buli would come to fill in the details early this morning.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Queen Ma coming, he quickly called her over and sat next to him.

The two of them were sitting on the steps, and Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, what we are struggling with is how to get this secret recipe that turns stone into gold back from Wang Buli.

Although he is our son-in-law, I gave you the secret recipe for perfume and sanitary napkins, and what kind of soap will come next. If I reach out to him again and ask for the secret recipe for making colored glaze, it will be nothing. "

Zhu Yuanzhang is still grateful. At least he has taken good care of the women of the Guo family, and he has also granted Guo Zixing a posthumous title.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"We want to make him a count, but we have made a rule that no one can be made a knight without military merit. If we rashly make Wang Buli a knight, wouldn't we break the rule?"

"A knighthood?"

Queen Ma also felt that it was normal to be ennobled. After all, this guy didn't have anything to hide, and he knew how to share any good things he had.

"It's not impossible."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Queen Ma: "I just said that and you agreed. Sister, you are too partial to Wang Buli, right?"

Queen Ma pretended not to understand his strange words: "You asked me, why can't I agree?"

"Do I have to object to you becoming the emperor?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed at Empress Ma's rebuke and did not answer anything.

But Empress Ma said again: "Who said that our son-in-law has not made military exploits?"

"what?"

"Moving forward, let's talk about the weapons that are suitable for marching based on the terrain of Liaodong.
When it comes to planning to weaken Bei Yuan, it is almost certain.

Do we have to wait until things are successful before we can be knighted?

Now our son-in-law has a pure heart, but if he is not rewarded for a long time, and he is older and knows more, he will not say everything to us like he does now.

You are so stingy that you can't bear to part with a count.

Don’t you know how much this guy Wang Buli has helped you?
Even if it is passed down to him as a Duke, it will be our Ming Dynasty’s luck. "

Empress Ma chattered a lot. In short, her son-in-law did many things that were beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. You, the emperor, are so used to it that you don't know how to reward him?
Give him a few more positions and give him a few more stones of food every month. Is that a reward?

Let others know the truth and you will laugh your teeth off.

The dignified Emperor Ming was so harsh on his son-in-law.

Unfortunately, Wang Buli always didn't want to go on duty. He was a bit lazy because of his lazy temper.

But you, the majestic emperor, don’t know how to reward you in time for your merits.

Is it really necessary to make Wang Buli become like that kid Wenzheng?
Queen Ma really felt that Zhu Chongba had changed.

Before he became emperor, he was harsh on himself and generous to his brothers. Now that he is the emperor, he is still harsh on himself, but he has become less generous to his ministers.

Even though Empress Ma said so much, Zhu Yuanzhang was still struggling.

So Empress Ma could only use her ultimate move: "Chongba, have you forgotten Wen Zheng's lesson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his head and looked at his wife.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm just telling you, don't get too carried away."

Queen Ma was not afraid at all. Anyway, the couple could just say whatever they wanted.

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head dejectedly, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute his wife.

Zhu Wenzheng's incident was, after all, the pain in his heart.

"That's all." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said leisurely:
"Let's call Hu Weiyong and ask him to advise us on what title Wang Buli should be given."

Empress Ma didn't bother to care about what Zhu Yuanzhang was going to do.

After becoming an emperor, he no longer speaks directly, but lets the people below him speak his mind.

Queen Ma didn’t know how to persuade her?

She just knew clearly that after her husband became the emperor, he became a little constrained.

It was no longer like before. Many rules and regulations were set by himself. He didn't want to jump out, and no one else wanted to jump in.

Finally put on shoes.

"Eat, eat." Zhu Yuanzhang patted his clothes.

Hu Weiyong raised his head from his desk.

After being encouraged by the emperor that day, he was diligently handling government affairs when he heard that his majesty wanted to summon him.

He quickly put down the pen in his hand and followed the eunuch all the way to the main hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang told him straight to the point that Wang Buli's strategy had succeeded, and we didn't know how to reward him.

It's you, the prime minister, who has to step forward.

Hu Weiyong repeatedly talked about promotions and gold and silver, and even his family members who rewarded him.

Zhu Yuanzhang still disagreed.

Hu Weiyong was shocked. Is it possible that the only way to achieve a knighthood is to become a knight?
So he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, why not give the consort a knighthood?"

"Does it fit?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while before asking.

Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment.

It's over, my guess came true.

The emperor really wants to knight Wang Buli.

"Suitable."

Hu Weiyong answered quickly and talked about Wang Buli's various advantages.

"Then what title do you think is appropriate?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I think the position of earl is suitable. Liu Ji always gave your Majesty advice back then, and finally he was granted the title of Uncle Chengyi."

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and told Hu Weiyong to go back and think about what kind of earl to give Wang Buli.

Wait until after the discussion before formally submitting the letter.

Hu Weiyong was still dizzy after leaving the hall.

Because he discovered something that he couldn't understand the most.

Your Majesty has always taken the matter of titles very seriously. Now that the plan to coax Bei Yuan has not yet fully worked, why are you so eager to knight Wang Buli?

Something was wrong inside and out.

There's a problem!

But where the problem lies, Hu Weiyong couldn't figure it out for a while.

So he could only worry about his team and ask for their opinions on the matter.

Right Prime Minister Wang Guangyang is still in Guangdong. I don't know if the edict calling him back has been delivered to him.

At present, Hu Weiyong is still the only prime minister.

"what?"

Tu Jie also didn't understand. How could Wang Buli be so virtuous and capable?
"The Prime Minister has never been knighted, so how come you have to be knighted when you come to his place?"

Tu Jie was also quick to speak and directly defended Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong had never thought about being knighted, and he had no chance to make any military exploits.

Moreover, it is not a common thing for civil servants to be ennobled.

Fundamentally speaking, the position of Commander-in-Chief Prince Consort cannot be considered a civil official.

Another confidant, Chen Ning, pinched his beard and said nothing. In fact, Hu Weiyong was more concerned about his thoughts.

"What do you think?"

"I don't want to see it." Chen Ning smiled and shook his head:
"Since it was His Majesty's decision, we have already considered it. We just need to put forward the name and let His Majesty choose."

Hu Weiyong thought the same thing.

Once this matter came out of the emperor's mouth, it was a certainty.

Chen Ning felt that since Wang Buli was so favored by the emperor, why should they act as a roadblock?

What's more, didn't they say that they would pull Wang Buli onto their warship?

Once the issue of the knighthood comes out, there will definitely be many ministers in the court who don't like Wang Buli. Those who want to impeach him should feel free to impeach him.

When the time comes, these people will protect him from the wind and rain, and by the way, let Wang Buli see the strength of their Huaixi nobles.

Everyone contacted it and it was a sure thing.

Chen Ning didn't think Wang Buli was an ignorant person.

The most important thing is that since ancient times, there has been great confrontation and cooperation between the emperor and his ministers.

Who dares to have the same heart as the emperor?
The end was just like Chao Cuo, who ended up wearing court clothes and risking his life in Dongshi.

It's still the kind that's cut in half and won't die for a while.

"Not bad." Hu Weiyong expressed his approval repeatedly: "We were just a little surprised and didn't know what to say. It's more important to do business."

Wang Buli and Zhu Biao sat on the carriages and went home directly along Hongwu Street.

Zhu Biao's excitement still hasn't calmed down. The weather has been hot recently, so he fanned himself:

"Brother-in-law, you really make me too happy."

"People say that the method of turning rocks into gold is fake, but finally let me see it for real."

Wang Buli also shook his fan: "Brother Prince, look at what you said. Once more and more colored glazes are sold, the price will drop, so the Midas touch will no longer exist."

"That's different."

Zhu Biao did not agree with Wang Buli's view.

To create something from nothing is to turn stone into gold.

Even if enough colored glaze is produced in the future, that will happen in the future.

Nowadays, if anyone’s home doesn’t have some glazed products, it can’t be considered a wealthy home.

When they arrived at the princess mansion, the door opened, and the prince's carriage rushed in directly.

Zhu Mingxiu heard that the prince was coming and came to greet him.

Zhu Biao said a few words and then asked Wang Buli to take him to see it.

As a result, before entering the door, Zhu Biao was handed a mask and told to put it on.

All in all it's better than nothing.

This time even the prince's personal bodyguards were not allowed in.

The Princess Mansion's land is large enough, so it's okay to build a small factory building.

Three craftsmen were working inside.

It was very hot in the factory because fire was needed and the stove had to be lit all the time.

Winter is better.

But summer can be difficult.

When Zhu Biao watched the sand turn into glass before his eyes, he still felt incredible.

After waiting outside, Zhu Biao felt that his body was so hot that he was sweating.

So the two of them took a shower and sat in the hall.

Zhu Biao still expressed extreme shock: "Brother-in-law, who do you think discovered this situation? It's amazing!"

"I think it's Taoist priests. They like to practice everything with fire."

Wang Buli's words reminded Zhu Biao of Jiajing, a very good emperor who had to go to practice immortality and make elixirs by himself every day.

He wanted to collect the menstrual blood of the palace maids, but was assassinated by a gang of palace maids.

If it weren't for their inexperience, the mighty Ming Emperor would have been strangled to death. It would really be a disgrace to his ancestor and only add to the laughter.

Who brainwashed him and made him like alchemy?

"Hey, why do you think someone is so willing to cultivate immortality?" Zhu Biao looked at Wang Buli and waited for his answer.

"Because they all want to live forever."

Wang Buli felt that the ancients had insufficient knowledge of immortals, and they wanted to try any method to cultivate immortals anyway.

But he then explained: "Brother Prince, there are really no immortals in this world, and turning sand into glass is not an immortal method."

"I believe it." Zhu Biao nodded quickly: "Really, I especially believe in your words."
