Li Mu glanced at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "If the Emperor likes it, when spring begins, he will replace the windows in the heavens and the earth with glazed ones." For a small amount of money, the kid can still afford to spend it. ”

"I don't need to." Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I am an old bone, and it has long passed the time to be greedy for pleasure, what is the difference between glaze and glaze?" ”

"That's not going to work." Li Mu said seriously: "In terms of filial piety, you are an elder, and you should enjoy the dedication of your juniors." In terms of power, the most powerful person in the world is the emperor, right? You are the emperor's father, the most powerful person in the world, and you deserve it. ”

Li Yuan was amused by these words, pointed at Li Mu, and said, "You, this is your mouth, in front of the people, you don't say that." ”

"I say the same in front of whom, who doesn't know that Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, is the most upright person in the world?"

"Don't insult such good words, if you are an upright person, the whole world will be an upright person." Li Yuan said with a smile, his eyes glanced at Li Yourong who was making tea in the yard, and said casually: "Li Mu, there is one thing in my heart recently, I often think of it, it makes me not eat or sleep well, do you have any way to solve problems for me?" ”

Li Mu patted his chest and said, "Although the Emperor Taishang ordered, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I, Li Mu, am willing to go!" ”

"It's not that serious." Li Yuan pointed at Li Yourong and said, "My granddaughter has long reached the age when she should get married, and you know her situation, it's not easy to marry." You can find a way to help her find a good husband. ”

Li Mu was alarmed in his heart, and immediately said: "Emperor Taishang, the ugly words are in front, don't blame me for not giving face, I will never marry her!" ”

"Just you?" Li Yuan sneered and said, "You are a treasure when you are a treasure, I still can't look down on it, don't say anything else." You have several wives and concubines, how can my granddaughter be small? If you want to marry, divorce all your women, I think you and I are still in love, and I can reluctantly marry my granddaughter to you. ”

Li Mu let out a sigh of relief and exaggerated: "Fortunately, I got married, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to hide." ”

"Are you a boy who owes a beating?" Li Yuan glared angrily and said, "She is my granddaughter, the eldest princess!" I've got to take care of you. If you don't take it seriously, see if I don't beat you! ”

"Okay, okay, old man, you will leave it to me......" Suddenly Li Mu remembered something, and said with a smile: "Old man, there is!" I had a great idea! ”

"What's the idea?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Old man, what do you say, where is this young talent?" ”

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "There is a way that Shanxi is a general, and Shandong is a minister." I can't find a reckless man for my granddaughter, naturally she is the best talent in Shandong! ”

"Oh," Li Mu pursed his lips and said, "Old man, are you old and confused, what's so good about Shandong's talents?" The five surnames and seven eyes are very high, and no one looks down on them, the county is mainly married to Shandong, think about it, so far away from Chang'an, so far away from you, except for something, I was bullied, and when the news comes back, it's too late! ”

Li Yuan thought for a while, nodded his head, and said, "Your kid's analysis is reasonable, my granddaughter can't marry too far - it's better to recruit money!" As long as he has a good character and filial piety, I can give him any dowry he wants! ”

"We won't catch up," Li Mu hurriedly said, this old man is really good, in order to marry his granddaughter, he is willing to lose money and trade.

"If you kid have any good ideas, just say it, and I have to beg you?"

"Don't dare, don't dare," Li Muyu said with a smile: "An immature little suggestion-Emperor Taishang, do you remember that before the establishment of heaven and earth, when we discussed, we said that it was just in time for the imperial examination, and we should hold a conference in heaven and earth, and let the talented people write poems and select poems. Do you still have an impression of this? ”

Li Yuan thought for a while, and said angrily: "If you don't mention it, I forgot about it, what you kid should do, didn't you do less?" ”

"Isn't that busy! Now that I think about it! Li Mu coaxed the old man, but he had a set, and after a few words, he coaxed Li Yuan to be happy again: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Emperor Taishang, you just said that Shandong is a genius, it's too narrow-minded. Must a talented man be good in Shandong? Otherwise! Talents anywhere are good, the key is to see who is great. So how can you tell if it's great or not? ”

Li Yuan listened attentively and asked, "Yes, how can you tell the difference?" ”

Li Mu slapped his face and said, "Imperial examination!" Isn't that a coincidence? In another month, the spring season is about to begin, and now the talents from all over the country have come to Chang'an City one after another, if at this time, let's hold a competition, choose the best, and then let the county lord choose...... Isn't it the best of the world to come into my hub? ”

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "What is the difference between this and the imperial examination?" If you say so, when the imperial examination is over, I will let you choose a champion to explore the flowers, wouldn't it be simple? ”

"Can that be the same?" Li Mu said nervously: "Emperor Taishang, you think simply. The imperial examination, that is the selection of talents for the country. What is the focus? It's whether or not you have the talent to govern the country. But recruiting a son-in-law is not this standard, what if the champion is a nerd? What if he only knows how to read, but doesn't understand the wind and snow? You can't let the county lord stay alive for the rest of his life, can you? Our competition is different, what we want is a romantic talent, only one aspect, but also know the cold and the hot, understand the heart of the girl's family, only such a talent is worthy of the identity of the county lord, right? ”

"Hmm......" Li Yuan nodded and said, "That makes sense." Suddenly, he looked at Li Mu and said, "In this way, I think you are the most suitable." ”

"No, no, no, I've married a wife and taken a concubine, my wife is pregnant with a child, I'm not worthy of the county lord anymore!"

"That's how the broken flowers and willows are used?" Li Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "With your kind of knowledge, you also want to take the top prize?" Just don't take the test, make a joke! ”

Li Mu didn't refute either, and said with a smile: "Old man, it's important to participate!" If I can't pass the test, who can say anything about me? The big deal is to lose a little money to Wei Zheng, and I don't care about a thousand eight hundred taels of gold. It's up to me, you rest, I'll go and talk to someone, starting tomorrow! ”

Seeing that Li Mu was so positive, even if he felt that something was wrong in his heart, Li Yuan was embarrassed to say it, and waved his hand to let him go. Just as Li Yourong looked at it suspiciously, Li Yuan hurriedly smiled, Li Yourong has always been against the matter of recruiting a son-in-law, and before the matter is done, she can't let her notice it.

……

Li Mu left Li Yuan and walked back to his small courtyard. Now there are a few more people in the small courtyard, all of whom have been recruited in the past few days. Li Mu knew that the person he recruited could not guarantee that it was not the eyeliner of any force, but there was no way to do it, who let him not have his own foundation? In order to make up for this shortcoming as much as possible, Li Mu adopted a random and short-term approach. Every time someone is hired, it takes a month at most, so that even if it leaks a little, they won't know much.

"Master!"

As soon as Li Mu entered the courtyard, Li Zhien jumped out, holding an account book in his hand, and threw himself into Li Mu's arms. Li Mu caught her, put her down for a while, and said, "What's the matter?" So happy? ”

"Master, master, look at you," Li Zhien handed the account book to Li Mu and said, "This is the account book for handling the tribute of the Zhenla Kingdom, and it has been sold for more than 100,000 yuan!" ”

"So many?" Li Mu was really taken aback, he cut off the tribute of the Zhenla State Mission, he left the elephant and rhinoceros, the court musician sent it to Pingkangli, and the remaining coconut bamboo, agarwood, yellow wax, cardamom, purple stem, Dafengzi oil, etc., it was useless for him to keep it, so he asked Li Zhien to take it to the East Market and find a merchant to sell it. I thought it would be tens of thousands, but I didn't expect the price to double.

"Master, this is all because we don't have these things in Datang, they are rare, so they are sold at a high price." Saying that, she snorted and said, "The fat man who bought it still wants to deceive me into lowering the price, but who am I?" I'm your second lady, I identified myself, he was immediately afraid, and hurriedly changed an offer to me, hum! ”

"Yo yo yo," Li Mu pinched Li Zhien's face and said, "Look at your fox and fake tiger appearance, what is there to be proud of?" ”

"Just be proud," Li Zhien took the account book back and asked, "Husband, can you save this money?" ”

"Why, you want to keep a little coffer?"

Li Zhien shook his head and said, "It's not my small treasury, it's my family's small treasury." Suddenly, her expression became very serious, and she said, "Master, husband, I want to tell you very seriously that our family has no money now." ”

"What a joke!" Li Mu said speechlessly: "Theaters, gambling houses, phoenixes, which one doesn't make money every day, I have no money, who has money?" ”

"It's true that you're going to make money every day, but you have allowed a lot of money," Li Zhien pouted: "Yesterday, Gongsun Kang came to me and said that the roadway repair in Chang'an City was overrun, and 100,000 guan was not enough, so I had to get 150,000 guan." There is also the second phase of the valley project, and what you told him, renovating the empty houses in Chang'an City and building the Dongcheng factory...... Speaking of which, it is all the property of the imperial court, but it is our family who can advance the money! Even if you make money every day, you can't stand such a flower. So I discussed it with my wife, and in the future," Li Zhien pursed his lips and said, "The family has to keep money, not for anything else, and in nine months, the child will be born." ”

"Uh......" Li Mu was suddenly a little ashamed, to be honest, he really didn't think about this, because he didn't have any worries about this, he subconsciously felt in his heart that Datang's money was too easy to earn, even if it was not spent, it could be earned now, but Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien did not have the confidence of him, and they were not traversers, so it was very normal to have this kind of worry.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "In the future, Fengqiuhuang's income will not need to be taken out." The two of you are at your disposal, but we can't keep the money this time. ”

"Why?" Li Zhien pouted.

"This is the money for the sale of the withheld tribute, if we spend it, in case the imperial history knows, sue us, we don't take care of it!"

"Oh, oh," Li Zhien suddenly realized that she could understand this reason, although money was a good thing, but if Li Mu was passive because of this, it would never be the result she wanted to see.

Li Zhien nodded obediently and said, "Then when Gongsun Kang comes back tomorrow, I'll let him take the money away." ”

"That's not good," Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "You just reminded me, why should our family advance money, and we are not wronged." You take care of it over there, I have another use for this money! ”

"What's the use, didn't you say you can't spend it?"

"I'm going to change the windows for Your Majesty!" Li Mushen babbled, Li Zhien was confused, but he didn't ask again.

……

After eating, Li Mu came to the studio. As soon as the door closed, the world fell silent.

When he was busy in the studio, under normal circumstances, Li Zhien and Bai Qiaoqiao would not come to disturb him.

Li Mu moved his muscles and put on his special 'overalls' made of cowhide, which can resist the iron cutting of iron, and can also be scratch-resistant and scratch-resistant, taking into account protection and flexibility.

He's going to make a batch of glass out, but that's not the point. The point is that he wants to make a process out, and this process must not be afraid of being seen, and it must be so that people who can see it can't see anything. The most important thing is that he wants people to see that the glass is 'burned' out of silver. Only in this way can he equate glass with silver, and maintain the luxury status of silver.

This is a bit difficult to do, because you can't use silver to burn glass. Even if it's a trick, you can't change it, you can't achieve it at all.

But for Li Mu, who has a system, it is not necessarily impossible.

Back in the days of the Turkic camp, he had already tried. The system can turn real money into "money" in the system, and the "money" in the system can be exchanged for real money. So, if he wants people to think that silver is needed to burn glass, he can do that by throwing silver into the furnace during the firing process, and then making the silver disappear.

But now there is a problem, silver is easy to put in the furnace, but when the silver is heated, it must be very hot. And the high temperature that is enough to melt the sand will definitely be able to melt the silver, and when the time comes, it will turn into liquid metal, and the temperature can be imagined.

Can the exchange be completed in the state of high temperature? Will it look natural?

This is the experiment that Li Mu is going to do today, if everything goes well, he will master a lucrative way to "launder" money! Glass is a window, as long as it is a person, it will be liked. As long as people see the benefits of glass, no matter how expensive it is, someone will pay for it.

When the time comes, the sand will turn into glass, and the glass will be linked to silver, which is equivalent to digging sand and turning it into money. This is not just a book of ten thousand profits, it is simply a thousand profits!

Li Mu thought about it while starting to do it, first buying a bunch of 'glass auxiliary material packs' from the system and putting them next to him for later use. Then throw the river sand into the furnace with a shovel, and when the temperature is almost there, then throw the 'glass auxiliary material package' into it in proportion, and when all the substances in the auxiliary material package are integrated into the high-temperature sand, Li Mu exchanged a hundred taels of silver from the system and threw it all in.

"Don't burn me to death!"

Li Mu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and activated the reverse exchange!
