Lu Chen wiped Li Daozong's chest and patted his back. It took a long time before Li Daozong could calm down and said, "Huh~~" Li Daozong looked at the huge transparent glass in front of him with shock on his face.
"This...is this the colored glaze you are talking about?" Li Daozong turned to look at Lu Chen, his voice trembled when he spoke. It was obvious that he was still frightened by the huge colored glaze he saw in front of him. After all, this thing It was so big that Li Daozong couldn't believe his eyes.
"If the glass is not pure, it is called glass. Such pure glass will be named 'glass'!" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong and said with a smile. At the same time, he turned around and reached out to touch the glass on the steel plate. Although the transparency looked good, It is not much worse than the transparency of later generations, but if you really want to touch it, it still lacks smoothness. There are many ridges and depressions on it, and your fingers feel astringent.
"It hasn't been polished yet?" Lu Chen waved to Ding Wu and asked.
The process of "polishing" is indispensable. "Polishing" is not only needed for glass, but also for finished pottery products after they are released.
"Yes! Sir! It's just because I finally made the glass you requested, and I was so happy that I hurriedly informed you, sir, that we would polish it right away!" Ding Wu was afraid that Lu Chen would be angry, so he hurriedly explained that after all, Lu Chen was surrounded by The King of Rencheng, Li Daozong, is still standing. If his father-in-law loses face in front of Li Daozong, then the sins of his group will be huge! Therefore, when speaking, there was a certain amount of sincerity and fear.
"I said, Old Ding, I didn't say what I wanted to do to you, so why are you shrinking back?" Looking at Ding Wu's frightened look, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh, "You can take the glass that I asked for?" If you do it, it will be a great achievement for all of you. Go back to Lao Du and give each of you a reward!" Lu Chen patted Ding Wu on the shoulder.
"Thank you, sir, for the reward!" Upon hearing that Lu Chen rewarded each person with a sling of money, the craftsmen of Liulifang, headed by Ding Wu, all knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Chen. After all, a sling of money is equivalent to a hundred wen. But it can allow my family to live a good month.
"Everyone, get up! As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded!" Lu Chen directly waved Ding Wu and others to stand up, "Hurry up and finish the polishing work, and speed up the production of glass. I will be of great use!"
"Yes, sir!" Ding Wu and other craftsmen who had already stood up hurriedly responded to Lu Chen. Everyone's face was beaming with joy. After all, they were rewarded with a handful of money, and their enthusiasm for work immediately came out.
"Remember, cover your mouth and nose, don't waste your life when the time comes to make money!" Lu Chen warned Ding Wu and left Liulifang with Li Daozong.
"Your Majesty, is this Liulifang still worthy of His Majesty's attention?" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong with some pride and said. Although there was a big gap in their identities, neither Lu Chen nor Li Daozong took this kind of thing seriously. They are similar in age, although they are of different ideological ages, but after all, Li Daozong is young and has the ability to accept new things very quickly.
"Can you enter the Dharma Eye?" Li Daozong gave Lu Chen a big look. He suddenly saw such a big and pure colored glaze just now, which frightened Li Daozong to the point where he almost lost his breath. This guy actually asked himself whether this Liuli Fang could enter the Dharma Eye. , this guy is obviously showing off to himself.
"If this place were not owned by Duke Lu County, I would have led my troops to loot it!" Li Daozong said half-jokingly, "Such a large piece of colored glaze is enough to support my Lingzhou military expenditure for ten years!"
"Then what if I invite the prince to jointly do this glass business?" The reason why Lu Chen wanted to bring Li Daozong to see Liulicang was because he planned to start his own glass business. Now that he wants to do business in his capacity, if those aristocratic families want to do business, It would be strange not to cause trouble, but Li Daozong is different. This guy is not only a prince, but also holds military power. He is also deeply loved by Li Yuan. If the aristocratic family dares to cause trouble for him, this guy will dare to come.
"Oh? Brother Lu is really willing to cooperate with me in this kind of business?" Upon hearing that Lu Chen planned to do this "glass" business, Li Daozong changed his name to Lu Chen directly, and his voice was even more excited.
You know, although Li Daozong is the king of Rencheng, he also has a lot of Zhuangzi, land and food, but they are all fixed assets, and Li Daozong does not have many current assets. Although Li Daozong also has some shops in Chang'an City, but that thing There is no comparison with "Liu Li".
Hu Shang could exchange a small glass ball for more than ten guan or even dozens of guan, and the quality was far inferior to Lu Chen's "glass". If the "glass" made by Lu Chen was sold, Then you don’t have to change the house or the land?
"How can the prince call me like this? What if outsiders hear this?" Although Lu Chen didn't think anything of Li Daozong calling him "Brother Lu". After all, he was a little older than Li Daozong, but after all, this It was still a feudal society at that time, and there was a difference in status. Even if Lu Chen was now the Duke of Chang'an County, there was a huge difference in status from Li Daozong, the prince of the emperor's family. But if Lu Chen married Li Yanjun, That's another story. After all, Lu Chen was Li Daozong's brother-in-law at that time.
"You and I hit it off immediately, and calling him this way seems to be close!" Li Daozong said with a smile, "Besides, I am the one who wants to call Brother Lu this way, so who can care about me?" At this point, Li Daozong looked disdainful.
"This business is not only for the prince, but I am also planning to bring in the East Palace, Princess Mansion and Tiance Mansion!" Lu Chen looked at Li Daozong and said with a smile.
Li Daozong immediately understood what Lu Chen meant. He was planning to use this glass business to directly pull the royal family onto Lu Chen's chariot. I have to say that Li Daozong admired Lu Chen's idea, and this business had reached Li Yuan's level. Even down to myself, I can't refuse, because this thing is so profitable. Anyone who refuses either has trouble with money, or has a brain problem.
"Of course, I need to trouble the prince to talk about this matter! His Majesty is still imposing a ban on me here!" Lu Chen said to Li Daozong with a smile. As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the steel workshop.
"This is my duty, but how should this business be distributed?" Li Daozong looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"This is what I think. When we do this business, it is best to bring His Majesty with us. His Majesty will take 30%, the prince will take 10%, the princess's house will take 10%, the prince of the East Palace will take 10%, the prince of Qin in the Tiance house will take 10%, and Zhao will take 10%." The county prince will get 10%, and I will keep 20% for myself. I wonder what the prince thinks?" Lu Chen told Li Daozong his distribution plan directly. Li Shimin has not yet ascended the throne, and the person who holds the most powerful troops in the court is basically what Lu Chen said. These people, as for those aristocratic families, when Lu Chen took out the glass, the first one he wanted to sell was the people from the aristocratic families.
Li Daozong listened to Lu Chen's words, and he was thinking in his mind. With so many people, it would be a lot if he had 10% of it. Don't look at it as just 10%. From the current point of view, it is a monopoly business. This 10% of the business is a monopoly. The money is gone.
"I think it's okay! But don't you need to take care of other officials?" Li Daozong looked at Lu Chen and suggested. After all, Lu Chen didn't even mention a word about aristocratic families in it. If those aristocratic families know how Lu Chen distributes them, they might be able to figure it out. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble for Lu Chen.
"Take care of them?" Hearing Li Daozong's suggestion, Lu Chen sneered, "Those officials from aristocratic families are all ignorant wolves. Don't look at them now. They are not in their interests. My lord, do you believe it?" , they will definitely not honor the bet I made with them!" Lu Chen knew very well about the virtues of these aristocratic families. For the benefit of his family, they had done a lot of dirty things behind their backs. On the surface, he reads books from saints and sages, but secretly he can do all kinds of immoral things.
"I'll tell you the truth, Your Highness, I'm selling this glass just to take out the family's money!" Lu Chen said his purpose without hesitation, but Li Daozong didn't feel a single thing when he heard Lu Chen's words. He was surprised, because when Lu Chen said he would not take care of other officials, Li Daozong had already thought of it. After all, Lu Chen did not have good relations with several families now. If Lu Chen took care of them, it would undoubtedly make Lu Chen show weakness. He knew Lu Chen, how could Lu Chen do such a thing.
At that time, before Lu Chen was awarded the title, Wang Gui, who dared to fight in the Tai Chi Hall, fainted. Lu Chen's character was not one to be subdued.
"In that case, then I will go to the palace to face the emperor!" Li Daozong rushed directly to Lu Chen and clasped his fists, and was about to leave Lujiazhuang and go to the palace to see Li Yuan. After all, this is a profitable business, and he is also the beneficiary. The sooner this matter is dealt with The sooner you decide, the faster you will get the benefits.
"Wait a minute, my lord, you are too impatient!" Seeing Li Daozong angrily preparing to enter the palace to see Li Yuan, Lu Chen directly stretched out his hand to stop Li Daozong.
"Is there anything else?" Li Daozong stood still and looked at Lu Chen with some confusion.
"Your Majesty, I promised you a sword in return. Aren't you going to take the sword away?" Lu Chen smiled and looked at the anxious King Ren Cheng. Who said Li Daozong was calm? He was quite impatient. Of?
"Oh? Could it be that Brother Lu has already forged my sword?" Hearing that Lu Chen said that he had forged the fine steel sword, he immediately became even more happy. Since his Hundred Refined Sword was forged by Lu Chen, Tang After the sword was broken, I felt extremely distressed for the past two days. Of course, I also thought about what happened to the stainless steel sword that I wanted to compensate Lu Chen for.
