Chapter 4 No matter how much you want, you can't do too much

The bounty was sprinkled like flowing water, and Li Yuanjia didn't feel the slightest distress!

Even after appreciating the craftsmen in the valley, he still felt that it was not enough, so he rewarded the "construction team" of Han Wangfu with 20 yuan and 20 horses, on the grounds that they also contributed to the glass workshop! As for the royal palace guards standing guard outside the valley, Li Yuanjia was not stingy at all, and each of them gave five pieces of money and five silk horses as a reward!

These people are just as important.

Because you know with your thighs that for a long time to come, this small valley will become the entire Chang'an...... It should even be the focus of the entire Datang!

Security is definitely a top priority!

Maybe no one in Datang has the courage to provoke a prince, even if it is a super boss like the eldest grandson Wuji and the crown prince, they will never take this risk for money - for these people, the meaning of more money and less money is not too great, and there will definitely be no shortage of expenses to oppose it.

As for the other little people, it is light to be caught and killed.

But what about outside of Datang?

Today's Chang'ancheng already has the atmosphere of a prosperous era, there are tens of thousands of Hu merchants of all kinds in the city, and it is not uncommon for "envoys" and "foreign students" from various countries to come, who dares to guarantee that they will not think about it? !

"From tomorrow, the number of guards will be doubled!"

When he finally left the valley, as soon as he finished announcing his reward, Li Yuanjia said in a deep voice amid the cheers of the guards: "Including the sealed place, send someone to check it for me, if it is not very stable......

"Don't worry, if it's unstable, we'll strengthen it immediately!"

This time, without waiting for his son to speak, Han Shan, who was full of red light, took the initiative to step forward and said: "There is an old servant sitting here, please let the king put a hundred hearts, and no outsiders can enter!" And the old servant promises that none of our craftsmen will be able to come out! ”

“…… Well. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuanjia sighed in his heart, and at the same time nodded again.

That's right.

Before, after Han Cheng and the others made glass, Li Yuanjia had already ordered that they were not allowed to go out of the valley at will, and now with the advent of the glass mirror, it can be said that if nothing else, they will not be able to come out for many years in the future!

It's cruel, but it's realistic.

In order to protect the secret of the mirror, the Venetians concentrated the craftsmen on a small island that could never leave. For Li Yuanjia, although his identity and power allow him to deter most of the coveters, if he wants to keep the secret of the mirror for a long time, it is a natural choice to make this valley "isolated from the world".

It may be cruel to the craftsmen, but ......

"Han Shan, don't be stingy next, you have to spend the money you should spend!"

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanjia looked at his old housekeeper: "There is still such a big place in the valley, build more houses to make everyone more comfortable...... In addition, when I go back, I will let people send more cards, mahjong and big landlords or something, and everyone can have fun when they are bored every day! ”

"Huh? This ......"

After listening to his words, not to mention the old housekeeper Han Shan, the young housekeeper Han Lu Chengdu was stunned.

Card? Mahjong? Big landowners?

Isn't this a thing that has always been played only by the masters?

Especially listening to what the king said, what was sent over was the cards and mahjong made by Han Wangfu, which was a hot commodity in the entire Chang'ancheng! Not to mention ordinary officials and wealthy businessmen, even a number of weaker state princes can't line up now!

Those good things, for these craftsmen to play with?

"Alright, do as I say!"

Ignoring the careful thinking of Han Shan and the others, Li Yuanjia waved his hand directly and said, "It's not just to let everyone rest and play well in the future, so that they don't feel bored...... Han Shan, from this month onwards, the monthly money of everyone in the valley will double for me! In addition, anyone who can make glass will have five catties of pork meat every month in the future! A craftsman who can make mirrors, ten catties a month! ”

"Goo-dong!"

Hearing this, the Han father and son swallowed and foamed at the same time.

Ten pounds?

The king, this is ...... But that?

You know, although it is not easy to train glassmakers, there are less than 20 people now, and there are only four craftsmen who can make mirrors so far, but under the temptation of a lot of money, there will definitely be more and more in the future.

Just now it costs two or three hundred catties of meat a month, how much will it need in the future?

Not to mention that the monthly money has to be doubled, which is not a small number when it adds up. Han Shan, who has been in charge of the valley, will spend at least more than 200 yuan per month in the future!

So this time, he really couldn't bear it: "King, this ...... Isn't it too much? You've already re-rewarded it! Just those money and silk, on average, each craftsman has at least ten pieces of money, ten pieces of silk, and those who can make glass will double it! ”

Even if Han Shan knew the value of glass and mirrors in his heart, and knew the importance of these craftsmen, no matter what, in his opinion, the king's reward was enough!

As for not being able to get out of the valley for years to come......

Tsk, that's what it's all about?

Not to mention the next few years, even if those people can't go out for the rest of their lives, what can they do? Even their children will not be able to leave the valley for the rest of their lives, which is not a matter in Han Shan's eyes!

The reason is simple, isn't that how it should be?

When the craftsmen were selected to make glass, they were all the servants of the Han Palace, and the whole person belonged to the king. Later, when there was a shortage of manpower, Han Shan was also a young man who went to the dental store to buy, and it can be said that they even died with Li Yuanjia!

Even if you kill a few, no one dares to force it.

Not to mention the delicious food and drink in the valley, you can also eat and dress warmly, this little day is ...... It's much better than the average person, right? Don't look at the policy in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, ordinary farmers have dozens of acres of land at home, but with the productivity level and grain output of this era, after paying various taxes, life is very hard, and compared with the craftsmen in the valley, it is still much worse.

Besides......

The valley is not big enough for them to wander around?

Now in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to officials and sergeants, there are also those rangers and poets who naturally like to run around, isn't everyone like this? Many people have never been out of their county in their lifetimes...... No, even a lot of people have never left their village in their lives, okay?

So whether it is Han Shan or Han Lucheng, they are a little unable to understand the king's thoughts.

It's just that after they finished speaking, Li Yuanjia still raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "Okay, there is no need to talk about this matter, you just need to do it...... This valley is where we will be founded, and no amount of preferential treatment can be overly ......."
