The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 357
Li Shimin held a piece of glass in his hand.

Was amazed by its transparency.

"What did you say? This is called glass? It's better than glass? Can it block wind and rain? Can it also be used as a window?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, let me take a look."

"Give!"

Empress Changsun on one side took the glass.

"I think this glass is not big, how can it be used as a window?"

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince said that this glass can be one foot high and half a foot wide, and what Caomin brought was just a piece of cut glass."

As soon as this number came out, Li Shimin gasped.

Is this too strong?

"Did Li Yin really say that?"

Li Shimin confirmed again.

"Yes, that's right! Cao Min saw a bigger one. When it was installed in the window, it was as if there was nothing, and it was not afraid of wind and rain. The sixth prince also said that this kind of glass can be made into a floor, as if there is nothing. , People are inside, and they can still enjoy the scenery outside!"

Li Shimin pondered.

"It would be a wonderful thing if my imperial study room could be changed to floor-to-ceiling windows as Yan Lide said. In the future, when I review papers, I won't feel bored. I can also see the garden outside. That's it. Efficiency will definitely improve a lot!"

Li Shimin thought very well.

If it's summer, he can move outside for approval, but it's unrealistic when winter comes again. It would be great if there is such a decoration.

Because floor-to-ceiling windows are indeed a great advantage in lighting.

He has always criticized the lighting in the imperial study room, but now that he has this kind of material, he has to try everything.

A toilet cost him 10 taels before.

This time the glass must not be cheap.

Therefore, Empress Changsun asked, "What is the price of that piece of glass?"

Yan Lide didn't dare to speak anymore.

"This……"

"The queen asked you something, why don't you say it?"

Li Shimin was in a hurry.

"The Sixth Prince put a lot of effort into this glass. It took several months just to research it, and a lot of materials were wasted!"

Yan Lide said that the purpose of saying this was to make Li Shimin feel that the price he said next was not too high.

"You just tell me the price of one piece? I don't want to know the rest!"

How can you not know?
That's very important.

Yan Lide had no choice but to say: "A piece of glass that is one foot high and half a foot wide will cost 1 taels from the Sixth Prince!"

1 taels?Why not grab it.

Li Shimin was shocked and was speechless.

That's not a small amount.

Although the national treasury has been full recently, the money cannot be spent like this.

One piece of glass will cost 1 taels, so isn’t it 10 taels for ten pieces?
"This kid, how dare you speak!"

Li Shimin was a little angry.

But if you want it, only he has it.

The pricing power rests with Li Yin.

And, if you don't want it, he won't force you to buy it.

At this time, Yan Lide came out and said a fair word.

"Your Majesty, the sixth prince is not planning to sell it now, he just told the grassroots the price! He invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the early stage, and his brainpower is priceless."

No one said they would sell it, so how could he, Li Shimin, really dare to speak?
Empress Changsun said:

"That's right, Your Majesty, Li Yin's glass was prepared for the building, and he didn't know you wanted it, so he can't be blamed for it!"

Li Shimin's fault.

I had to sigh.

"in this way……"

He changed his words.

After all, it's a whim, and I can't give up no matter what.

"Then how many pieces of glass like this do I need for my royal study?"

Yan Lide was embarrassed.

Li Shimin really wants to change?
Last time I felt that the ten toilets were too expensive, so I want to come again this time?
Ten pieces of glass are enough to go to the toilet.

"Where do you want to start, Your Majesty?"

he asks.

"All four sides of the Royal Study Room!"

Yan Lide was dumbfounded.

There is a lot of distance between the four sides of the Royal Study Room.

The buildings of the palace are all famous for their grandeur.

In this way, it takes a lot.

"Let the villain do the math!"

Yan Lide began to count.

After a while, he said: "This requires 100 yuan glass!"

"What! 100 yuan? Need so much?"

Li Shimin was shocked.

100 yuan is 100 million taels.

This money is too easy to earn, right?

"Yes, all four sides are needed. If only one side is needed, twenty or so yuan is enough!"

"One side, how can it be enough? If you want four sides together!"

Li Shimin insisted.

"Your Majesty, you should think about this matter again. 100 yuan is not a small amount."

Li Shimin was silent.

He was convincing himself.

Suddenly he said: "100 million is just a fine for those big families. Anyway, the money is not yours! 100 million is 100 million, Yan Lide, I will leave this matter to you, you can go to the household department to get the money !"

In Li Shimin's opinion, the 100 million was deducted from the aristocratic family, even if it was spent, he didn't feel bad.

After all, it was a windfall.

But he didn't think about it, if the money was put in the folks, it would be a lot of money.

Can improve a lot of people's livelihood.

But from his point of view.

The environment in the imperial study room is better, and he can handle things more efficiently, so the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Yan Lide agreed.

Empress Changsun tried to persuade her again, but there was no way.

The decision he made could not be pulled back even by nine cows.

"Okay, you go and deal with it, I'm waiting for your good news!"

"The villain leaves!"

Yan Lide then left Taiji Palace and went to the Ministry of Households to withdraw money.

After a period of time, under the auspices of Yan Lide, it really happened.

Li Shimin's handling of official business in this four-sided glass study has attracted the envy of all civil and military officials.

After someone inquired about the price of the glass, they flinched directly.

At the same time, in the following period of time, the glass incident spread to the people, which set off a purchasing climax among the people.

This is for later.

……

That night, Yan Lide commanded the engineering team to start beating on the imperial study room. This beating directly aroused the displeasure of all civil and military officials, who came to persuade Li Shimin not to do it.

But how could Li Shimin listen to them and just hang them outside without seeing them.

These people had no choice but to stand outside the palace, and finally, as a last resort, everyone dispersed.

The next day, Yan Lide and the people from the household department brought money and said they wanted to buy glass.

Li Yin took 100 million taels and sold them the 100 yuan glass he had produced before. He was naturally happy to have the money.

Next, he will produce in large quantities. Anyway, the factory is in his own hands, and he can increase production at any time.

And 100 yuan is far from enough for his decoration, it is better to sell it.

In this way, the distance from 1000 million taels of silver is less than 500 million.

Soon it will be possible.

At the same time, at noon that day, a woman came from Shengtang Group.

With him, there is Li Lizhi herself.
