Outside Chang'an City in early March, the scenery is the most beautiful.

In this era, the north was not more than 1,000 years later, when you drove or took a train to the north, except for the planted plantations, all the fields were watery, and there were still many primeval forests left in this era.

There are mountains and rivers, and the scenery is completely different from that of later generations.

Therefore, every time it is spring, there are many people who go out of the city to play, especially those literati and ink writers, or the ladies and ladies of large families, who are even more happy.

For Li Yuanjia, who has been living at home all the year round, going out of the city in spring is naturally very attractive. So when Han Shan sent someone into the city to deliver the news, saying that he had found an excellent place that could be used to build a new glass workshop, Li Yuanjia naturally couldn't help it, and took his princess out of Chang'an City together......

"Look, King!"

Pointing to a large open space, Han Shan said respectfully: "This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are steep cliffs, ordinary people don't even want to come down from it!" Moreover, in such a large piece of land, except for a mouth four or five zhang wide in the northwest corner, only the south-facing side is more open...... It's the best piece of land I've seen so many lots! ”

"Well, that's good."

With his right hand on his eyes, Li Yuanjia nodded with satisfaction after carefully observing it.

In his mind, this place is actually a valley.

And it is also a very strangely shaped valley, like a long crooked narrow-bottomed gourd, with a big belly, the widest part is full of forty or fifty zhang, and the two ends are relatively narrow, the mouth of the gourd on the northwest side is like Han Shan said, only four or five zhang, and in the south is a slightly larger opening, about one...... More than a dozen zhang?

Although the mountain wall surrounded on three sides is not high, it is also more than ten zhang, which is definitely enough to block ordinary people.

But the most satisfying thing is, of course, the stream that meanders through the valley, the water is not too big, but it should be more than enough to supply a glass workshop!

So after nodding, Li Yuanjia secretly calculated.

He walked through it himself just now, and he probably already knew it in his heart. The width of the valley is not too large, but it is relatively long, about six or seven hundred meters, and the total area is tens of thousands of square meters. Even if the water's edge and corners are removed, the land that can be used to build glass workshops and residential areas is 20,000 square meters, at least, which is enough.

Moreover, this terrain is also relatively easy to control the entry and exit of people.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanjia opened his mouth and asked, "Han Shan, whose land does this land belong to?" ”

"Back to the king, this is the Borderlands."

Blinking his eyes, Han Shan hurriedly explained: "Because there are many huge rocks in the valley, and the land is not in pieces, no one wants to come to reclaim the wasteland, so if we want to use it, we just need to deal with Wannian County." I've asked if this land is worth anything, if the king wants it...... Ahem, plus the mountains on all sides, three or five hundred is enough! ”

“…… Hehe. ”

After the corners of his mouth twitched twice, Li Yuanjia laughed dryly.

Han Shan said everything so clearly, how could he not understand?

It is now the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the time when the Li Tang Dynasty has the smallest population and the most land, and it is natural that no one wants to come here to reclaim the wasteland. However, this place is not far from Chang'an City, only more than 20 miles away, and it is only three or four miles away from the official road, and the transportation is very convenient, so even if this land is not worth much, plus the surrounding mountains will not be able to take it down for three or five hundred times, if that is the case, there is no shortage of people in Chang'an City who are not short of these three or five hundred runs!

The only possibility is to use the name of King Han.

Although the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty were first established, the founding fathers were more and more popular one by one, but because of Li Shimin's fire, everyone finally had some respect for Lao Li's sons...... Of course, the piggyback princes were also stained.

This is the founding fathers, and the ordinary petty officials are another matter.

Anyway, if Li Yuanjia wants this land, Wannian County will definitely give a price of "selling state-owned assets cheaply". If he was a little darker, it wouldn't be impossible to buy one hundred and eighty yuan, just say a few cruel words.

Merely......

After pondering for a while, Li Yuanjia shook his head and said, "Han Shan, don't think about saving this money, go back and go to Wannian County to discuss, how much you should give...... Remember, after the price is negotiated, the name of Han Wangfu will come out, understand? ”

"Yes, King!"

After a pause, although Han Shan was a little puzzled, he nodded quickly.

Seeing Han Shan's slightly frowning appearance, Li Yuanjia smiled lightly and didn't give him too much explanation. Only he knew what the glass thing meant, and it was impossible for this new glass workshop to have any handles, otherwise it might be a time bomb, and someone might have detonated it at any time.

It's just a little more money, and the procedures must be complete and formal.

And after thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanjia narrowed his eyes and said: "Han Shan, in the future, take out 500 yuan every year and continue to buy land!" It's this land to the south, buy me a little bit back every year, remember? ”

"This ...... Yes, King. ”

Instinctively wanted to make an old mistake and persuade the king, but Han Shan immediately thought of his current identity, his face suddenly darkened, and he sighed and nodded.

"Also, after this land is bought, let people repair the road and connect it to the official road!"

"Yes, my lord."

"In a few days, the king of Japan will come again, and when the time comes, let Zhang Wan and Han Cheng also come over, and I will discuss with them how to build a glass workshop."

"Yes, my lord."

"I always feel like there's something missing...... Well...... That's right! Han Lucheng, let them continue to expand the coal workshop! Whether it's firing glass or paper, you need a lot of coal, and you can't ignore it! ”

"Yes, my lord."

……

Standing on a small dirt slope, Li Yuanjia was full of spirits, pointing out the country in front of Han Shan and Han Lucheng's father and son, and he felt a little proud.

It's just that this pride didn't last long, and was soon interrupted by the ink painting that came over in a hurry: "King, the princess, please come over!" ”

“…… Good. ”

The anger generated by being interrupted instantly dissipated, the corners of Li Yuanjia's mouth moved, and he nodded with a wry smile. Just thinking about the glass workshop and the surrounding things, Li Yuanjia completely forgot the purpose of coming out today, but he came with the princess.

No matter how good Fang Fengzhu's temper is, he should be angry at this time, right?

But just when Li Yuanjia was looking for Fang Fengzhu and thinking about how to coax his princess later, he heard a sound of horses' hooves approaching quickly, and soon a small servant pounced in front of him: "The little one has seen the king...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, orders you to enter the palace tomorrow......"
