Wei Jia and Wei Yi glanced at each other, and then followed General Lou to the study in the front yard.

There were only three people in the study, General Lou and Wei Jia and Wei Yi, and even Lou Zheng was not among them.

Outside the study, General Lou's most trusted general, was guarded, and the defense was like an iron bucket.

"Two adults, please be seated." General Lou said politely.

Wei Jia and Wei Yi were still seriously dumb in the eyes of others, just staring at General Lou for a while, as if guessing what he deliberately left the two of them for.

If it was for the sake of that Liulifang, it would be useless to kill the two of them at this time, and the news would have spread through the secret channels of the secret spy department.

After Wei Jia and Wei Yi sat down, General Lou took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the two people in front of him, "Two adults, General Lou Xin of Zhenbei is willing to follow the secret decree to return to Beijing, and dedicate this method of making glass to His Majesty the Dawu Dynasty." I would also like to ask two adults to convey this on my behalf. ”

Even Wei Jia and Wei Yi, who had experienced countless court secrets, were shocked on the spot when they understood what General Lou said.

Glass! That's glass that's more valuable than mutton fat jade! Now only he Lou Xinhou knows the method of making glass, with this production process, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has gold and silver.

In life, most of the people are for money and power, but this Lou Xinhou gave away the method of collecting half of the money of Dawu with one sentence.

This Lou Xinhou can't be a fool, right? Or is the secret recipe in his hand simply fake?

No, it can't be fake.

Even if Lou Xinhou has the courage to dedicate the false secret recipe to the emperor. Unless he doesn't want the entire Lou family to live.

Wei Jia and Wei Yi pressed the shock in their hearts.

It was almost the first time that the two Secret Division leaders had spoken in front of people.

Wei Jia's voice turned out to be very clear, and it didn't sound like a middle-aged person at all, but like a young man with a weak crown, very recognizable.

"Lou Xinhou, do you know what you're doing now?"

Wei Jia and Wei Yi did not immediately take the envelope from Lou Xinhou's hand, but asked him seriously.

General Lou laughed, looking extremely hearty.

"The two adults laughed, Lou Mou didn't drink a drop of wine at dinner, and now his mind is very clear, of course he understands what he is talking about."

Wei Yi glanced at Wei Jia. I saw the guard nod. Only then did he reach out and take the envelope from General Lou's hand.

"The emperor's mind is not something we can speculate, since General Lou has made this decision and is very firm, then please wait for a few days with peace of mind. We will ask the emperor to decide. "It's still the armor that opens.

General Lou smiled. He hugged his fists at the two. "Then there are two adults, Lou is waiting for the news of the two adults in this handsome mansion."

After Wei Jia and Wei Yi left, Lou Zheng came to the study to inquire about the results.

"Daddy. How is it? Lou Zheng put a glass of warm water in front of General Lou and asked.

General Lou took a sip of it, "Wait for news." ”

Lou Zheng bowed his head and sat down beside his father.

"If we do this, the emperor probably didn't expect that it is reasonable for them to hand over this matter to the emperor for decision."

General Lou turned his head to look at his flower-like daughter, both relieved and sad, "Jiaojiao, are you really willing to hand over this secret recipe of glass to the royal family?" That's an inexhaustible asset. ”

As long as Lou Zheng strictly controls the craftsmen who make the glaze and masters the secret recipe, it is equivalent to holding gold and silver.

If Lou Zheng hadn't taken the initiative to say that he wanted to sacrifice the secret recipe of Liuli, General Lou would never have done it.

"Daddy, this glass is very useful! It's not just crafts, it's just decorations. Now the glass is scarce, and the natural value is incomparable, let's hold this recipe in our hands, but it is a disaster, it is better to hand it over to the emperor, let the emperor use this method to raise funds for the East China Sea Division, it is also a credit to us. The emperor may still be thinking of his father's goodness, and in the future, when the glass is popularized, his daughter will use the glass for other purposes, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds. ”

Lou Zheng seriously explained to his father that in fact, General Lou was not dull, but he lacked the vision of later generations to look at the development of things. Most of the ancients were self-contained, and once there was something good, the first thing they thought about was to stay, and the second thing they thought about was to leave it to their descendants.

Such an idea is absolutely unacceptable for them now.

The importance of development Lou Zheng understands better than anyone else.

Besides, they want to make money, and there are many ways, so they don't have to care about this glass at all.

Now the glaze is worth a thousand gold, but once the Taikang Emperor produces the glaze in large quantities and sells it to the rich domestic merchants and sells it to the sea, the glaze will depreciate in large quantities, Lou Zheng dares to say that within three years, the glaze will be the same price as copper and iron.

Over time, the price may also be much lower than that of copper and iron.

When the time comes, those giant businessmen and rich men in the early days of Tun Liuli will definitely come out to make trouble, such a big black cauldron, she is not willing to carry it, so it is better to sell it to the royal family cheaper! Anyway, Tai Kangdi wants to make money, and he will not dislike the big black pot in the future.

Lou Zheng smiled lightly, but the light under his eyes was bright, like a star.

Compared with Liuli, if you want to do long-term business, or even drive the economy of a city, it is far less important than trading with barbarians.

This northern trade route is the one that can really bring long-term benefits.

In the later stage of operation, beef, mutton, wool, cowhide, bowstrings, armor, etc. will form a network-like industrial chain, and in the future, maybe half of the people in Liangzhou City will rely on these industries to live.

General Lou looked at the delicate and tender girl in front of him with satisfaction, Lou Zheng looked like a mother, and now that he has grown up, he is the shadow of some of his wife, General Lou's eyes were shining with tears, and he only felt that his daughter had grown up inadvertently, and he became so good when he didn't pay attention, and he didn't know what kind of man could match his delicate.

It was because of his daughter's marriage that he didn't want to stay in Liangzhou anymore.

I don't know what method of communication the secret spy department used, but on the fourth day, I received a reply from Sheng Jing.

That night, Wei Jia personally went to the Great Marshal's Mansion and handed over Emperor Taikang's secret decree to General Lou.

Wei Jia watched General Lou finish reading the secret decree, and then said: "The general has made a great contribution this time, and he will definitely enter Beijing to receive a reward, so it is better to pack up and set off in the near future!" ”

The guard passed the secret decree and left.

General Lou carefully read the contents of the secret decree again, and then finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Because General Lou first defeated Tuhun and strengthened the army, and then offered the secret recipe for the production of glass, which made great contributions to the family, the country and the society.

Emperor Taikang authorized General Lou to bring 300 personal soldiers back to Beijing to receive the reward, and the army in Liangzhou Biansai was temporarily handed over to Commander Liu and Zhou Shenjun to be responsible.

In addition, his only daughter Lou Zheng was specifically mentioned in the secret decree.
