Chapter 636 Glass Balls
Since Cheng Hong participated in that poetry meeting, the atmosphere in Chang'an has been much more harmonious!
The Jiangnan family prepared a generous gift again, came to visit Cheng Hong, and apologized for Cheng Hong's assassination!
Cheng Hong looked at it, since they have already been served, so be it! Otherwise, he will show his small belly and chicken intestines. As for the generous gifts~ When did the Cheng family lack gifts?
It's a little difficult for the Emperor Taishang~ After Cheng Honglian won the Taishang Emperor's mahjong for three days, the Emperor Taishang returned to Da'an Palace angrily!
And in the next four days, Cheng Hong lost a mess......
The days are dull and not boring!
……
On this day, Cheng Hong was strongly despised by Li Chengqian, and came to the court, in Li Chengqian's words: "You are about to become a salted fish!" A dignified person in a purple robe, who doesn't want to worry about the country, is the same as salted fish every day! Are you worthy of that robe? ”
Cheng Hong said very scoundrelly: "I am now the head of Wuhou Pavilion, and I am only in charge of Wuhou!" The rest is not my control! When did you see the Wuhou Pavilion coming? ”
Having said that, after two days of delay, Cheng Hong still went to the court under the urging of Li Lizhen and Wu Mei!
Nothing to do anyway! It's just a different place to sleep!
……
Go to bed in the morning...... In addition to their old Cheng family, there may not be a second one in the world......
Don't say it, I really heard some more useful news here~ "His Royal Highness Qiqi! His Majesty has already left Liucheng, and it is estimated that he has already taken the train!
I'm afraid this ceremony to welcome His Majesty will have to be prepared early! I don't know if there is a mistake in the Ministry of Rites! ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he nodded: "Ministry of Rites!" ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Rites has been prepared!" It's just that this canopy has not been used for a long time, and it is a little dilapidated, and the minister wants to build a few more and fill in the new ones......"
Li Chengqian nodded: "Yes!" ”
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu spoke: "Your Highness! I don't know what this material is used for? Is it customary to use mixed gold or pure gold?
And ~ Your Highness, there is no shortage of this canopy, but this turquoise and pearl are a little insufficient! I don't know ......."
Li Chengqian thought for a moment: "Where is the Marquis of Chang'an?" ”
Cheng Hong was watching the excitement, and suddenly heard Li Chengqian call him: "The minister is here!" ”
"You still have a lot of these pearls! Tomorrow, let the Ministry of Industry go to your house and pick ......."
Cheng Hong......
Shameless! That Li Ke in your house has more pearls than mine! Why don't you ask him for it?
Cheng Hong suddenly had a plan: "I don't know if I can change it to glass beads?" The glass beads are now red, blue, purple, white, and transparent...... You can make it all!
And you can get as big as you want! If you pick pearls, I'm afraid the size is not so symmetrical......"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu hurriedly said: "Chang'an Hou, that's it!" When the time comes, let's set the size and quantity, and you send the glass beads to the Ministry of Industry......"
Li Chengqian is so angry! How much is Liuli, can he not know? Cheng Hong is planning to install glass in the place where the butcher slaughters and the place where the night incense car is placed on the side of the court!
If it weren't for Cheng An and others saying that after that thing was installed, it is estimated that no one would dare to go! Otherwise, this thing wants to put glass over there!
Just how much can this thing cost?
There's no way, he knows it's useless, now in the entire Datang except for these few people who are determined, who knows the price of the glass? You must know that Li Chengqian paid the glass money that time, but he used a car to pull it over!
It's just that everyone thinks that he is pulling gold coins, but in fact, he is pulling copper plates~ The copper plate is just to pay the bills for the helpers......
As a result, there was such a beautiful misunderstanding~ Everyone thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was trying to please the Emperor, so he paid for it!
In addition, according to the past practice~ The things of the Cheng family are half sold and half given to the palace! That's a scary price! Even if it can't reach the price of Hu Shang, not everyone can afford it!
So now it gives people a feeling that ~ although the glass is there, it's just that it's more convenient to buy! As for the price~ it's really not much cheaper!
Now the glass sold in Chang'an City, the most common is the palm-sized glass mirror, and one also costs five times! Sell more than 100 at most every month! If you have more, you won't sell it!
Cheng Hong arched his hand: "A word is a certainty!" When to ask for it, when to send it to you! Everything else can be stopped, but the canopy can't be delayed! ”
The Ministry of Industry arched his hand: "Chang'an Hou is righteous!" How much money do you give ...... then?"
Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "You don't have to give the money!" ”
Li Chengqian thought to himself: It's good if you don't hit you! Thought I didn't know? Your family is playing with glass balls and marbles! Li Lizhen brought back a small bag every time she came back! It's still too heavy to take it......
But others don't know! As soon as Li Chengqian said this, Cheng Hong didn't say anything. Someone next to me is not happy~
"I think this matter is inappropriate!" Li Chengqian looked at it~ It's no one else, the first bar of the Tang Dynasty~ Wei Xuancheng Wei Zheng is also!
Finish! Li Chengqian was also dizzy! After this incident, find Cheng Hong and blackmail him! This is said to the face, who knows that this glass is worthless!
Cheng Hong knows! He doesn't say! Li Chengqian knew that he couldn't say it......
Sure enough~ After Wei Zheng stood up, he said Shiyun! Side-by-side! Illustrate......
As soon as it came down, let alone Li Chengqian, even Cheng Hong was a little sweaty when he heard it!
Wei Zheng almost pointed at Li Chengqian's nose and said that he had embezzled the property of his subordinates and asked for bribes!
After Li Chengqian saw that Wei Zheng was over, he hurriedly got up: "This matter is negligent!" Lonely mistake! Thank you Wei Qing for the reminder!
That Chang'an Hou! When the time comes, you report the money of the glass beads to the Ministry of Industry! After being reviewed by the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household will give you the money! ”
Cheng Hong arched his hand: "Your Highness Xie!" ”
How dare Cheng Hong ask for money! I don't know how much that thing is worth? Alas! I hope that when Li Er comes back, my ass will be fine!
"That's it! Next thing! ”
……
An early dynasty is over! Cheng Hong called Cheng Cai: "You will run to the Ministry of Engineering in a while!" Ask them what color beads they need on their canopy and how many they need! Then go to the carpenter and get the sandalwood box!
Box the beads one by one! First of all, you can come with pearls, the color of the pearls is not enough, or uneven, all replaced with glass beads! If you are asked to quote money~ you will say~ To celebrate the victory of the Eastern Crusade, the Cheng family donated it! ”
Cheng Cai scratched his head: "Shaolangjun, can this be done?" This glass ......"
Cheng Cai looked at the half-cut curtain made of glass beads on Cheng Hong's inner door......
This~
Our family uses this woven curtain as a pinball! You're going to put this thing on the canopy? Don't be kind!
Cheng Hong rubbed the bridge of his nose: "I don't want to either!" The canopy there is too old! And His Highness is going to rebuild it with pure gold!
This pearl has become a mixed pearl due to improper maintenance! And the beads are still a little small! It's all new!
Your Highness knows that we have a lot of pearls at home! Just let me take care of that! But this pearl has to be changed after a long time! At that time, I didn't have a brain, so I said by the way~ It's better to use glass!
Who would have thought that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites actually think that it is good to use glass! That's all it could be!
Otherwise, they will all be replaced with pearls or the like, there are so many pearls on this canopy, it is estimated that after the selection, there will be nothing left of our pearls in one condition! ”
"Then let's change all the glass! The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have agreed, what the hell are we doing with that idleness! Just give them what you want! Cheng Cai immediately replied firmly!
Cheng Hong......
Let's just say it! There is no loser in the Cheng family! When it comes to money, then ~ even His Majesty dares to fool ......
It is estimated that only the Cheng family dares to do this in the entire Datang!
Another? Hehe!
Cheng Hong saw a very interesting anecdote at the beginning~ There was a person named Wei Dongting during the Kangxi period, this person is the son of Master Kangxi! Grew up with Kangxi!
The Shanpu Camp that was originally removed from Ao Bai was formed by him!
After the pacification of the third time, Wei Dongting was named the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is the lifeblood of the country, and the country's tax revenue in Jiangsu and Zhejiang accounts for almost a quarter, which shows how much Kangxi trusts Wei Dongting.
is such a trusted person, of course Kangxi likes it! As a result, he went to Jiangnan six times, and lived in Wei Dongting's house three times!
Wei Dongting greeted the holy driver three times, and later found that ~ he had become poor! Not to mention hiring someone to serve, even eating is a problem! I had no choice but to borrow money to get by!
If you borrow money, you can only borrow from the country~ no one else borrows him! The official is too big! In the end, Wei Dongting committed suicide because he couldn't pay the money!
At that time, after Cheng Hong saw it, he thought it was quite strange! Can the emperor still make people poor?
When Cheng Hong checked the information later, he found out~ Wei Dongting, as an outgoing official, was able to carry Kang Mazi's three visits, it was simply a rich family!
The emperor went to your house, you dare to fool? It was a little worse in the Tang Dynasty! At most, the specifications of eating and drinking are relatively high!
There are also guards, accompanying officials, concubines and nobles, and accompanying servants......
These people have to be arranged! And the dishes can't be repeated! You think it's the same as Cheng biting gold~ The big pot is served~ Stewed bear paws! Another pot was served~ stewed venison......
After all, not everyone is Cheng Biting Jin!
Spring rain is listening to it, hey! I thought that my own head was unreliable enough, but I didn't expect ~ Shaolangjun to be even more unreliable! Fool Your Majesty with a glass ball......
Ay! Fortunately, there is such a young man! Otherwise~ I can't keep my own pearls!
Cheng Cai left, and went to the Ministry of Industry to discuss what color glass ball to use! Chunyu hesitated for a while: "Shaolangjun! Why don't we put away this curtain and glass beads! After all, if the things put on the canopy, if they are rare, it would be easy to say! If it's too much, I'm afraid it's not good! ”
Cheng Hong thinks about it~ too! nodded: "In the future, all these glass beads will be sent back to the workshop and smashed, and made into ornaments or glass mirrors!"
And ~ that's what I sent out before! From now on, tell Lizhi that you are not allowed to give away glass beads! Just said~ If you give someone glass beads, your father will have to smoke me when he comes back in the future! ”
"Poof" Chunyu heard it and smiled! It is estimated that the entire Tang Dynasty can sentence the crime of bullying the monarch so lightly, and it is only his own young man!
