Chapter 159: I'm Burdened
Xu Yi was indeed a little distressed by giving up such a big benefit as glass, especially if it was completely for the sake of the imperial court, or the behavior of an unsung hero.
And the eldest princess's proposal can indeed effectively solve the problem.
Xu Yi also thought about it, such as pulling the Cui family and other big families, but that kind of model is no different from using his own income to support the Shence army.
Compared with cooperating with the family or cooperating with the royal family, for Xu Yi, there is not much difference.
Now that there is some livelihood in cooperation with the family, and the benefits are showing year by year, it seems to be more advantageous to cooperate with the royal family and the Ministry of Internal Affairs at this time.
Princess Yuzhen heard that Xu Yi had something new again, so she hurried over, and probably left Wang Maha aside.
"This is Ruri?"
"Yi'er said it was glass."
"What's new?"
"No, it's a secret method for making glass."
"This ······" Yu Zhen was completely stunned, thinking of the scene of the nobles in Chang'an scrambling, and reverie about the countless money and food: "What do you want my aunt to do?" ”
Yuzhen no longer asks to take the initiative. From the hood and underwear, to the cotton industry she knew later, to the earth-shattering secret method of glass, Yuzhen felt that she didn't need to be greedy, she only needed to take care of this nephew, and there would be a steady stream of money.
It's only been a few days, and there are endless new things, all of which are infinite wealth.
"Yi'er wants to set up a workshop with this secret method in the name of the Divine Army······"
With a few simple words from Princess Jin Xian, Yu Zhen knew the ins and outs. Compared with the Golden Immortal, although Princess Yuzhen is not very involved in the government and politics, Princess Yuzhen's intersection circle is much larger than that of Princess Jinxian.
These days in Chang'an, she knows very well what kind of situation Xu Yi is facing.
Xu Yi was rich, very rich, even richer than many families in the entire Dasheng Dynasty. Don't look at Xu Yi who doesn't dominate any industry, but in the industry with the best profits in the Dasheng Dynasty today, there are all members, or the kind of people who dare not move.
Coal stoves and briquettes have now entered the ordinary solid people's homes, and the demand is gradually rising every year, not to mention that the chimney needs to be replaced.
As for the carriage, since the carriage designed by Xu Yi appeared on the market, the rich and noble families in Chang'an have no carriage that can turn, and they are embarrassed to greet people.
Golden Wheat Stuffed ······ Even if Wang Majie is not greedy for a cup, he can't suppress the temptation of Golden Malt Brewing, and Li Taibai never forgets to ask someone to bring him Golden Wheat Brew.
Even at the banquet in Chang'an, if there is no golden wheat brew, even the people who participate in the banquet feel ashamed.
Not to mention the ferry crossings of the state capital along the entire canal.
Xu Yi is not only rich, but also has a certain amount of potential. The officials and families of the entire dynasty are almost related to Xu Yi.
However, in the dilemma of forming the Shence Army, Xu Yi could not use his own financial resources to support a firearms army. This is not in Bianzhou, this is Chang'an.
Yuzhen originally thought that when Xu Yi couldn't solve it, he would take a shelf and intercede with his sister to solve the dilemma for him, so as to seek more benefits in the cotton extension industry in the future.
"Yi'er said, in fact, this glass is made of sand firing······
The eldest princess bitterly put the glass accessories on her body together with the beads that Xu Yi gave him, and it seemed that the beads were more transparent and crystal clear than the accessories on her body.
"Sand?"
"Well, it's sand. The elder sister called her sister over, and the first one was to beg Saburo to allow Brother Yi to support the Shence Army with the glaze industry, and at the same time pull the Internal Affairs Office to participate in the glaze industry. ”
"Sister, Saburo will not refuse this. Now the imperial court is overstretched, because Han Xiu has an allusion to the monarch's thinness and national fat, even if San Lang deposes Han Xiu, the Internal Affairs Office is still not enough to meet San Lang's needs. ”
Yu Zhen said, almost laughing out loud.
"Another point, for the sake of raw materials, I am ready to exchange the fiefdom and replace the fertile land with wasteland."
The eldest princess did not mention this to Xu Yi.
The reason why the eldest princess does not participate in court politics is because there are too many princesses in the previous generations who participated in court politics and the fragrance disappeared, and the reason for this is that the lack of power is the most important.
Although the eldest princess still has no intention of going to court, she deeply understands the essence of the court······ Only the strong are respected.
For the court, Yi'er needs to have his own power. And the Shence Army, Yi'er contributed the secret method of glass, if there is no means to control the Shence Army in the end, it will be a bamboo basket in the end.
Maybe it will cause a backlash. This is what the eldest princess does not want to see.
The two princesses of the Dasheng Dynasty entered the palace and took Xu Yi with them, and Xu Yi was also holding something that looked like a wooden box. The eldest princess asked several times, and Xu Yi said: Mother, wait until you see Your Majesty to reveal the mystery.
It was indeed a wooden box, a wooden box-like item that was not neatly assembled from broken wooden boards, not like a gift for a saint.
The guards inspected it, and it was also the structure of the wooden box, and the inner surface was also made up of broken wooden boards, and it seemed that there were no mortise and tenon joints, nor iron nails, so they were put together at random.
Xingqing Palace was originally the residence of the saint when he was dying, and since the saint ascended the throne, he was mostly stationed in Xingqing Palace.
From Chongrenfang to Xingqing Palace, you can reach it through the newly built Jiacheng in the east wall of Waiguo City.
This is also Xu Yi's first time entering the palace. At this time, there were few people in the city, and there was only one of them in the empty city, and the messy footsteps echoed, which was a bit crazy.
On the west side, a calyx building is being built······
"San Lang built the Calyx Building, and what the court lacks now is money and food. Xu Yi's dedication to the secret method of glass this time can be regarded as solving the danger of San Lang. If it weren't for Xu Yi's young age, his aunt would have been able to ask Xu Yi for a favor and ask for a county duke. ”
"Sixteen years old, not yet married, and Saburo can't reward him in the future, so that's the only way. Brother Yi'er, my aunt assures you that your ideas can definitely be granted. ”
Xu Yi felt that Princess Yuzhen was a little speechless, and he had said this more than once. Xu Yi felt that it was true that Yu Zhen wanted to alleviate the madness in this city.
The Imperial Palace, it is estimated that any place may be a place where the ghost lingers, and the succession of several generations of kings of the Dasheng Dynasty was completed in the bloody wind and rain······
"Oh, Xu Yi, this kid, actually entered the palace, and he was still pulling your mother and aunt. Tell me, what's the trouble? I thought that there would be no harm to your old man's calculations. ”
The saint seemed to be in a good mood, and he still turned the fitness ball that Xu Yi gave him.
"Poof······ San Lang, you think wrong, this Xu Yi is really a bit old-fashioned, he has been busy with official business since he came to Chang'an, and he was born without poetry, and he probably hasn't even been to Pingkangfang. ”
The saint's brother and sister turned out to be ordinary people in private.
The two princesses had already knelt with the saint, and Colliers was still waiting on one side. The saint waved his hand and motioned for Xu Yi to sit down. Xu Yi continued to hold the wooden box in his hand.
The saint looked at it twice, but did not continue.
The eldest princess grabbed a handful of glass beads casually, very irregular, not also good-looking, in addition to transparency and luster, it does feel a little unsightly.
"What? Need glass accessories? Then I asked Lux to pick two for the two of you and send them to the house. Shouldn't you go into the palace specifically for this matter? ”
"San Lang, look at these."
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just glass, I don't know it, the quality is good, the shape is worse."
The saint is very casual, but Xu Yi has seen an ordinary king, and at this time he is an ordinary big brother, chatting with his two younger sisters, and he feels quite kind.
In the future, Yu Niang will ······ with him Maybe it's really like some rumors in later generations, and it must be very happy.
"San Lang, this is Yi'er fired with his own original secret method."
"What?"
The sage's exclamation made Xu Yi come back from his cranky thoughts, and watched the sage grab those glass beads and drag the glass accessories on Gao Lishi's body to compare.
"Are you sure you fired it yourself?"
At this time, the eldest princess and Princess Yuzhen didn't speak, and it was time for Xu Yi to play.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed made by the minister using a secret method."
Whether this glass is the glass called at this time, Xu Yi is not sure. Since they all thought it was Liuli, Xu Yi didn't bother to argue. There is money to be made, and it can solve his current problems, so it doesn't matter what his name is.
Xu Yi asked the two princesses to bring them into the palace, naturally not to show off the secret method of making glass, and the sage couldn't guess why. No one dared to think that Xu Yi would not dedicate this secret method······
"Jincheng Hou, a glass thing, Western merchants earn countless money and grain in my Dasheng, and glass accessories make the nobles of Chang'an flock to it."
"If Jin Chenghou thinks that mastering the secret method of glass has a lot to do with it, don't worry, the two princesses are fighting for you, you can do it boldly."
Xu Yi wasn't sure if the emperor was greedy, and Xu Yi really didn't know how to deal with such a Tai Chi rhetoric.
Princess Yuzhen giggled again······
"San Lang, Yi'er asked the concubine to take her into the palace, not because she was worried about what would happen to making glass. Yi'er wanted to build a glass workshop in Xiliuying, with the Internal Affairs Mansion, the concubine and Yuzhen's sister, as well as the Xu Mansion. ”
"With the Shence Army of the Fine Willow Battalion as the leader of the glaze workshop, the families of the recruited Divine Ce Army are the hired workers of the glaze workshop······"
"Really?"
Sure enough, as expected by Yuzhen, the saint did not suppress his excitement, and before the eldest princess could finish speaking, the saint interrupted loudly.
"Returning to Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's trust in preparing for the establishment of the Shence Army, the minister considered adding an army to the burden of the imperial court's financial resources, and had to try the secret method of glass recorded in ancient books, and I am glad that the minister's attempt was successful."
"The minister didn't dare to make a mistake, and he couldn't support the imperial army with his own wealth, so he begged his mother to ask His Majesty for a favor and allowed the minister to build a glazed workshop in the Shence military camp to solve the dilemma of preparing for the new Shence army."
At this time, if Xu Yi sues or something, the saint should also agree. But Xu Yi didn't do that, it was okay to say that it was Gou, or it was okay not to provoke right and wrong, at this time, the most important thing he should do was to do a good job in the affairs of the Shence Army first.
"Good! Aiqing, I'm ready! I will bear all the criticisms for you! ”
