Chapter Eighty-Three: Heartbeat and Heartbeat
"Gotcha! Get! Got ......."
Since the eleventh left, Li Shimin has been sitting upright, squinting his eyes slightly, and tapping his right index finger on the table rhythmically, making one soft sound after another.
Inside my head, there are all kinds of thoughts.
The first thing to bear the brunt of it is naturally what Eleven Lang just said - one million times!
It's not a million per year, but it's a million in the next 10 years...... Is it at least a million guan, or makes Li Shimin extremely moved, and he has to think about it seriously - if someone told the emperor before today that he would probably do business one day, Li Shimin would definitely not say a word and let the guards take him out and beat him with dozens of sticks, but now......
Uncontrollably, Li Shimin's words kept echoing in his mind.
"Second brother, it's actually very simple, it's just that the two of us will do the glass business together. What is in Chang'an belongs to me, and what is outside Chang'an belongs to you......"
"I can assure you that in the next twenty years, no one will be able to make glass! Not to mention those Fanbangs outside, even our top craftsmen in Datang, don't want to make even a small piece of glass! ”
"In other words, in the next few decades, we will only have glass, and we will pay for it if we want! In addition, as you know, this thing is very brittle, and it will break if you touch it with a little force, so it is impossible to say that no one will want it when everyone buys it......"
"One million in ten years is the lowest guarantee! In fact, according to Chendi's estimates, you should earn more than 2 million yuan in glass in the next ten years...... Of course, if the younger brother wants to leave enough back for himself, he must not dare to guarantee that number, what can be guaranteed is that the second brother can get one million! ”
"Second brother, the younger brother didn't say how important this money is to you, after all, you are the emperor and rich in the world, but ...... There is a lot of money in your underwear, so you can be more generous when you reward your ministers on weekdays, right? ”
"The most important thing is that in the imagination of the younger brother, glass belongs to the top luxury, maybe you don't want to be too luxurious in China, but there is no problem in selling it to those little kings and wealthy businessmen in Fanbang, right?"
"Brother Chen doesn't have that ability, at most he sells things to Luoyang...... But second brother, you can arrange some people casually, and you can send things to Goguryeo and Tubo, without the slightest problem, right? ”
……
Over and over again, these words kept tumbling in Li Shimin's mind.
Very exciting, very frightening!
The heartbeat is naturally what Li Yuanjia said about one million in ten years...... Or even two million or more! Even if he is rich all over the world, but in the Zhenguan period, the emperor's inner treasury is empty, that is, in the past few years, he has a little something, and he has a little confidence when he rewards his children or courtiers.
If you can have an income of 100,000 yuan a year......
Tsk, just with the posture of Zhenguan's thirteen-year copper coin "valuable", even the emperor can't feel that it doesn't matter - if these 100,000 yuan are used well, how much is it enough for Li Shimin to do?
It's just that as for the heartbeat, Li Shimin is also very frightened.
The situation that Li Yuanjia described to him was really a little too ...... How can I say it, Li Shimin is an eye-opener today!
The steppes in the north may not use much glass, but Goguryeo, the Fanbangs in the Western Regions, and the one in the east...... What country, if you see that the magnates and wealthy businessmen of the Tang Dynasty can sit in a bright room, will you be moved?
Anyway, if Li Shimin thinks about it himself, he will definitely do.
Therefore, what Li Yuanjia's kid said is really possible to come true, that is, can this thing really make money from those countries?
Although Li Shimin never thought of making money in this way, he ...... If you can exchange glass for a large number of cattle and sheep, especially horses, why not?
And......
"What is the surprise behind what the kid said?"
Recalling what his brother said before leaving, Li Shimin's heart couldn't help but itch a little, and his eyes narrowed again: "I said that I would be able to see it after a while, but I will naturally know that what he said is true...... But what kind of surprise is it......"
……
"Hehe, obviously, the second child is moved!"
On the carriage home, a satisfied smile appeared on Li Yuanjia's face, and he looked very happy.
There is no doubt that Li Shimin is definitely tempted.
But it's no wonder, after all, that's 100,000 a year...... With an additional income of at least 100,000 guan, the emperor doesn't need to do anything at all, and he can collect it into the inner treasury with his mouth, why don't you want to?
Don't look at Li Shimin as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Yuanjia knows very well in his heart that although he is indeed much richer than the Tang Dynasty 20 years ago, this wealth is basically based on people and food and other materials...... Hehe, just look at the price of rice and you will understand everything.
A bucket of rice is only a few pennies, what does this mean?
Money is really valuable!
However, the Tang Dynasty still implements the policy of "hiding the wealth from the people", so don't look at the peace of the world for more than 20 years, many people have more money in their hands, especially the magnates in the court, some people's lives have become extravagant, such as Li Yuanjia's uncle Yu Wenshi and so on, but to say that the treasury and the emperor's inner treasury, there is really not much inventory!
There is a lot of food, and there is a lot of cloth, but if you have copper coins......
That's why Li Yuanjia directly grasped the emperor's key point and told him that he had an income of at least 100,000 yuan a year, and if he behaved well, maybe 200,000, or even 300,000, could he not be moved?
Don't talk nonsense.
The emperor doesn't have to spend money?
Not to mention anything else, just Li Shimin's favorite son Li Tai, how many things will he reward in a year? Although the big mansion, Qujiangchi and slaves don't cost money, but in order to keep his son living a luxurious life, can this money be less?
100,000 a year, and it's the kind that goes into the inner library, the emperor can't help but be moved!
It's just that Li Yuanjia also knows that even so, it is still quite difficult to get Li Shimin involved in the glass business, after all, it is definitely not easy to reverse the concept that has been formed for a long time. Especially Li Shimin is still a good-looking master, and now that Wei Zheng's old man is still alive, he must be a little worried and entangled.
"So, we have to wait a little longer."
Thinking about it, Li Yuanjia suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes were full of a smug smile: "Maybe glass is not enough, after all, this thing is too expensive, and it is not a necessary item...... But wait a little longer, and when Han Cheng and them make the real mirror, they will understand! 100,000 or 200,000 a year, or something, it's just a kind word from me......"
