CHAPTER XXXIV

For his eleventh emperor uncle, Li Tai really couldn't understand it.

The dignified King of the Tang Dynasty, even when he is common, he has to salute and say hello, as if he is already the top person in the Tang Dynasty, but he just nests at home every day to study some messy things - although Li Tai also acknowledges the benefits and advantages of Tianzhu numbers and mathematics, and has even begun to implement it in the Wei Palace, but there is no doubt that in his heart this is still just a small way.

The matter of arithmetic is the work of the little officials!

And what made Li Tai feel even more speechless was that this imperial uncle was not only so interested in the things of craftsmen, but even took out the things made in various workshops at home to sell......

Of course, this is nothing, after all, whether it is the magnates in the court, or the family of gate valves, there are actually not a few people who do business, as long as they don't show it, everyone should not know - everyone will find an agent or something, and almost never stand in front of the stage.

But the imperial uncle in front of him actually said the word "buy" openly in front of him!

As soon as he saw the little fat man's eyes, Li Yuanjia probably guessed his thoughts, and immediately raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Hehe, do you think that my imperial uncle is full of copper smell?" ”

"Uh, my nephew doesn't dare!"

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Li Tai quickly shook his head.

Although he is not afraid of this imperial uncle, but at this time, if Li Tai wants to maintain his image, he must behave more respectfully.

"Haha, it's okay."

After smiling, Li Yuanjia said calmly: "Since I dare to do this, I am naturally not afraid of what others say...... Xiaotai, you don't know! ”

After squeezing his eyes, Li Yuanjia's face instantly became bitter, and then said: "Let's not talk about anything else, just this glass, do you know how much it costs to make a piece?" In addition to a variety of precious minerals, coal alone will use up dozens of catties, and the labor cost is countless! ”

When he heard this, Li Tai couldn't help the curiosity in his heart again, and asked, "Uncle Huang, what is coal?" I know about coal stoves and briquettes, which work well in the winter, but this coal ...... What is it? ”

"Huh? Coal ah......"

With a move in his heart, Li Yuanjia said with a smile: "Actually, it is a kind of thing made of coal, which looks like charcoal...... Well, a little bit like that. It's very burned, and the temperature is very high, so it's perfect for use in the workshop. ”

"Oh......"

Frowning slightly, Li Tai did not continue to ask.

A little curious, but now is clearly not the time to ask.

didn't wait for his question, which made Li Yuanjia a little disappointed, so he could only continue: "Xiaotai, you said that the cost of this glass is so high, if I send it to anyone, wouldn't I have to fill in the entire Han Wangfu?" In this Daxing Palace alone, your imperial uncle and I have smashed tens of thousands of yuan......"

"Goo-dong!"

Even though he knew that there was a lot of moisture in Uncle Huang's words, after hearing the number of tens of thousands, Li Tai still swallowed his saliva subconsciously, and a different color flashed in his eyes.

Tens of thousands!

Even if he is the emperor's favorite King of Wei, he is not as wealthy, and even the big pond in the south is his, but if Li Tai wants to come out with tens of thousands of dollars at once, it will be a headache to death.

But the imperial uncle in front of him can easily do it.

Li Tai didn't really believe the other party's words, especially when it costs a lot to make a piece of glass. If he thinks about it with his ass, if he has this kind of glass-making technology in his hands, it will definitely be doubled...... No, it's right to sell at three or five times the price!

In other words, the cost of that piece of glass should be twenty or thirty?

If you want to know what your nephew thinks at this time, Li Yuanjia will definitely not be able to help but snort and laugh - three times five times the profit? That's too much to underestimate our traversers!

This glass business does not have a twenty times the profit, can it do?

In the future, after technological progress, the process is more perfect, and the output is also increased, the net profit will at least start at 100 times!

Three or five times, who do you look down on?

Seeing that his nephew's expression was a little strange, Li Yuanjia thought that he thought that the glass was too expensive, so after hesitating for a while, he said angrily: "Xiaotai, if you only need two or three yuan, I will give it to you directly, but if you want dozens of yuan...... A workshop of my size can only make dozens of pieces a month, I really dare not give it to you! ”

The tone was very sincere, and Li Yuanjia's expression was also very sincere.

He had already made up his mind about this matter, even if he was ridiculed as getting into the eyes of money, Li Yuanjia couldn't take care of it. Anyway, he doesn't want to engage in politics, and the reputation that ordinary people value is really not important. In contrast, because of his personal identity and status, it is a good thing for him to have a bad reputation appropriately.

Li Tai couldn't guess his thoughts, but he quickly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Uncle Huang said that he was joking, so ...... I'll settle for 10 pieces first! ”

Ten pieces of glass is not a small amount.

Even if the rich King Wei couldn't help but feel a little distressed at this time, you must know that the purchasing power of a thousand yuan is amazing, but now he has only exchanged ten bright and shiny things, and he should not eat or drink......

Anyway, the moment he spoke, Li Tai even regretted it a little.

It's a pity that Li Yuanjia didn't give him a chance to regret it, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, no problem!" It just so happens that the glass in Daxing Palace has been replaced, and I will have someone send the glass to you at the beginning of next month...... Tsk, it's a good day! If you don't open the window in winter, the house will be as dark as you can, and if you open the window, it's cold, and only by using our glass as a window can you get the best of both worlds......

"Ministers and others participate in His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Huh?"

At this time, the two suddenly heard a series of voices behind them, and hurriedly looked back, Li Yuanjia's eyes lit up: "Ouch, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down......"

"Hehe, calculate the time, my father is almost here!"

After saying a word, Li Tai smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, let's hurry up and go forward." ”

"Well, let's go."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Li Yuanjia also smiled and nodded.

According to the rules set by Li Shimin before, Li Tai, Li Ke, Li Zhi and others have to salute when they see their uncles, while Li Yuanjia and they don't have to return the salute - in short, it is the same as the relationship between uncle and nephew in ordinary people. But the one who is here now is not an ordinary big nephew.

Therefore, Li Yuanjia didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted Li Tai: "Minister Li Yuanjia, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince......
