"Squeak! Squeak...... Squeak! ”

With the last uncomfortable sound, the carriage finally came to a steady stop. Without waiting for the casual Han Lucheng to come forward to serve, Li Yuanjia directly lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage himself.

Subconsciously looked at the sky and couldn't help frowning.

I thought it would be two or three o'clock in the afternoon at most, but I didn't expect it to be so late that even the surrounding scenery began to be unclear.

"Alas, the four-wheeled carriage is still a little heavier."

After the two little guys lit up the road with lanterns, Li Yuanjia shook his head as he walked towards the inner courtyard: "It's just a spring rain, the road surface is not too wet, and it has such a big impact on the speed, if it really rains...... Hehe, unless you drive on the avenue of Chang'an City, won't this four-wheeled carriage be abolished directly? ”

Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When Cheng Zhijie, the Duke of Nalu Guo, talked to him about the four-wheeled carriage before, Li Yuanjia even had an idea, that is, to build a four-wheeled carriage workshop that can be manufactured in large quantities like a dumping workshop. When the time comes, as long as he recruits dozens or hundreds of carpenters, and equips them with one or two hundred handymen, he can directly start the business of thinking carriages.

Now that I think about it, I was naïve!

There are no hard and spacious concrete roads, and the four-wheeled carriage has a hairy use?!

Like today, as long as the weather is slightly worse, the four-wheeled carriage will lie down directly...... Don't forget, this is Chang'an, even the road outside the city is the top in Datang! Even so, the road surface is somewhat unable to withstand the weight of the four-wheeled carriage, so what if it is an ordinary official road?

"The problem is, firing cement is too expensive!"

Thinking of the things he saw in Zhuangzi outside the city today, Li Yuanjia really felt a little headache.

The cement workshop can be regarded as barely built.

It's a pity that even if there are enough people, Li Yuanjia didn't dare to let them go to burn cement, the reason is, of course, the cost.

A cart of stones, plus a cart of coal pulled over, the high cost is really chilling!

So once again, Li Yuanjia discovered his innocence.

I thought it was just burning stones, even if it was a little more expensive, as long as I could make cement, I could accept it, but now when I really want to do it, I find that the ratio of investment and income is too cost-effective!

Fortunately, it was not too late to find out today, Li Yuanjia immediately accepted the suggestions of Han Shan and Han Lucheng, father and son, and temporarily postponed the investment in cement.

I continue improving a technology, but mass production......

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

"My lord, but you're feeling unwell?"

Li Yuanjia just coughed lightly twice, and Han Lucheng, who was following him, stepped forward a little nervously and asked in a low voice.

"Huh? Hehe, it doesn't matter. ”

Waving his hand, Li Yuanjia glanced up at the sky, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Han Shan's request today, you must solve it for him as soon as possible!" No matter how much money you need or how many people you need, you have to do it as soon as possible! In short, I hope that by June, they will be able to make 300 pieces of glass a month, you know? ”

"Understood, King."

Secretly swallowing and foaming, Han Lucheng nodded quickly.

Of course, he knew why the king said this, because yesterday after His Majesty sent someone to announce that the king had entered the palace, in the afternoon the prince sent someone to bring him a letter, all saying the same thing - His Majesty wanted more glass, and the prince also wanted to install a few glass windows in his study!

The two bigwigs spoke, what can the king do?

Otherwise, early this morning, Han Lucheng would not have accompanied him to another workshop outside the city, and carefully discussed with his father Han Shan, who stayed behind, about expanding glass production as soon as possible.

Your Majesty and the Crown Prince want, what about the others?

Ordinary magnates can be ignored, but what if people such as King Wei, Liang Guogong, General Yuwen and others want more? Not to mention that Han Lucheng knew the king's thoughts, so he wanted to make money from glass and support cement, movable type printing and other workshops......

"Oh, yes!"

When he walked all the way to the door of the main house, Li Yuanjia suddenly remembered something, turned his head and whispered to Han Lucheng: "If anyone asks about the glass again, tell them that it is five hundred yuan!" ”

"Huh? Five hundred? ”

After listening to his words, Han Lucheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed, "King, this is ...... Wouldn't 500 guan be too expensive? ”

When he was a hundred pieces before, he already thought it was a sky-high price, after all, he knew very well that this piece of glass really didn't cost a lot of money. But Han Lucheng never thought that the king would rise four times in one breath, and he would directly sell it for 500 yuan?

Glancing at him, Li Yuanjia waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's a little expensive, but now we can't do it anyway, so what if it's more expensive?" Isn't it reasonable to spend more money if you want to use glass sooner? It's so decided, 500 pieces of money, love to buy or not. ”

A seller's market is so capricious.

And Li Yuanjia knew very well in his heart that whether it was the second brother Li Shimin or the eldest nephew Li Chengqian, they must be the first sequence of glass supply, even if the two guys didn't mention the money, he didn't dare to slack off. So if the production can't be significantly increased in a short period of time, it will take several months just to satisfy those two.

Even if someone else gives 500 pieces, you have to wait slowly, don't you?

So set a high price first, it is enough to block most people back, if there is really the kind of owner who does not treat money as money, and is willing to give 500 yuan......

can make a lot of money, and Li Yuanjia will definitely not be merciful.

Hearing what he meant, Han Lucheng immediately bent down and bowed his head: "Yes, king." ”

"Alright, you can step back and rest."

After walking to the door of the house, Li Yuanjia didn't want to say anything more to the housekeeper, so he waved his hand and asked him to step back. Then I saw the maid standing at the door, and after waiting for the other party to salute, she asked in a low voice, "Ink painting, can the princess be inside?" ”

"If you go back to the king, the princess is alone in the house."

"Well, go get me something to eat...... Simple, lighter enough. ”

"Yes, King!"

With a low answer, the ink painting trotted towards the kitchen.

Si Qi gently opened the door, Li Yuanjia stepped in, and then saw the princess Fang Fengzhu sitting at the table at a glance.

Walking over lightly, he glanced at the table in front of Fang Fengzhu with some curiosity - with the princess's temperament, she must have stood up and saluted when she saw him come in, but until Li Yuanjing walked to his side, this girl seemed to not know that he had come in, and she had been staring at a few books on the table in a daze.

With a glance, he couldn't be more familiar with these books, they were the six "Mathematics", and they were brand new.

Tilting his head and frowning, Li Yuanjia quickly remembered that Fang Fengzhu had said a few days ago that he was going to entertain a few little sisters at home today, so after blinking his eyes a few times, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have guessed Fang Fengzhu's mentality at this time......
