After a fuss in the morning, Dugu Jiu disappeared again, and Li Mu didn't go to him, although he knew that he was excessive, but after all, he was a brother, if he went to apologize, it would be even more strange, it was better to do nothing.

Li Siwen was also driven away by Li Mu, he came to Jingdongji as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, and he hadn't entered the house yet. Li Zhen is his eldest brother, and now he is alone in Chang'an to support the gate of the British government, since he is back from "family leave", how can he not go to meet. But Li Siwen was a little unhappy, he had been a little discordant with his eldest brother Li Zhen because of his temperament since he was a child, and the brothers didn't say a few words before.

But he still went back, after all, he hadn't seen him for many days, and after a series of training, Li Siwen was no longer the Li Siwen of the past, he was somewhat mature.

Li Mu was the only one left, and he still couldn't be idle, so he asked Ergou to find a few helpers, cleaned up the snow in the yard, and then re-erected the guy who made glass, and began to tinker with glass.

In his previous life, when Li Mu had nothing to do and looked at history, he could often see a plot similar to this. The protagonist wants to carry out economic reform, and to engage in the economy, he starts with the currency, and through all kinds of messy means, or fraud, or coercion, so that everyone accepts paper money, silver bills, and jiaozi, in short, to make a currency, and then make a lot of money by manipulating the market.

When Li Mu was watching it, he didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, it's writing, and the author can write whatever he likes, without thinking about rationalization at all. But when it was his turn to cross, Li Mu found that this road didn't seem to work. It's not that there is a problem with other people's methods, but his own problem, his knowledge of finance, basically the level of watching the news, and he can't even figure out what is going on in stock trading, how can he manipulate the market?

He can be at ease in the Tang Dynasty, relying on the system and the insight of the indigenous people of the Tang Dynasty. For some things, he knows what the future will be. For example, he now knows that the military god of the Tang Dynasty is Li Jing, and during the period from Li Shimin's ascension to the throne to Li Jing's death, all the wars in which Li Jing participated were invincible. Therefore, it is necessary to hold this thick leg, even if you can't hold it, at least you can't offend.

And after Li Jing, it is Li Ji's world. Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, relying on the assistance of Li Ji, established great martial arts. At the same time, it was also by relying on Li Ji's needle that he defeated the eldest grandson Wuji, who had inflated ambitions, in the early days of his ascension. But also because of the loss of power of the eldest grandson, the foreshadowing of Wu Zetian's confusion of the Tang Dynasty was buried.

These grasps of the trend of history are the magic weapon for Li Muneng to be invincible when he chooses a side.

But for things that he doesn't know about as well as the natives of the Tang Dynasty, such as finance. Even he doesn't know as well as the prime ministers who seek the country, such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling. If you are involved, you may not be able to gain the upper hand and control the situation, and you are likely to mess things up or make a wedding dress for others.

For this kind of unsure thing, Li Mu's choice is to stay away. But that doesn't mean doing nothing, such as the glass chips he's working on now. This thing, because of the technical barriers, no one in the world can imitate it, so it has become an excellent choice for a high amount of money. Similar to a check, as long as it can guarantee unlimited payment, it has the function of currency.

And it's very easy to operate.

Li Mu's plan was like this, the glass chips were only issued in the "Four Seas Casino" in Chang'an City. In other words, if you want to get glass chips, you can only exchange money at the "Four Seas Gambling House" in Chang'an City, and there is only one one, and there is no other semicolon. However, it can be redeemed at the "Four Seas Casino" in other cities.

For example, a businessman in Chang'an City wants to go to Luoyang City to purchase a batch of goods. Under normal circumstances, he wants to buy a truckload of goods, at least with half a carload of money. Walking on the road with so much money, if you get the news to the thief, you are likely to be robbed.

But after having glass chips, he can first exchange all the money for glass chips in Chang'an City, and the chips have different amounts. A cart of copper coins is only three or five glass chips at most, which can be carried closely. The wealth is not exposed, and the security is greatly improved.

And when he arrived in Luoyang City and bought goods, he could exchange glass chips for cash at the "Four Seas Gambling House" in Luoyang City. Due to the non-replicable nature of glass chips, there is no need to worry about someone claiming them.

As for the loss, it can only be deserved. After all, even if you don't change it into chips, isn't it a waste of money if you lose it?

In order to completely eliminate the possibility of being imitated, Li Mu made a big deal this time, adding all the colors of [glass dye] that he could buy in the system to the overall transparent glass chips, making them into extremely fine powders, mixed into the glass, which is not visible under normal circumstances, and only when facing the light source at a certain angle can the colorful colors be reflected, like a sky full of stars.

This kind of process, not to mention in Datang, is resting in Li Mu's previous life, and it is also the effect that can only be made by high-end glass factories. If Li Mu didn't have a system, it would be impossible to do it. The craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, due to the limitations of the times, are impossible to make.

As for the amount represented by the glass chips, Li Mu thought about it for a while.

First of all, glass, that is, glass. In Datang, it is regarded as a kind of gem, in other words, it is very valuable in itself. If the limit is set too low, it is very likely that someone will exchange money for glass and take it home as a treasure. Therefore, it is destined that the lower limit of the amount of glass chips must exceed the value of the glass itself.

Second, if the quota is set too low, it doesn't need to exist. If a glass chip is equal to five hundred Wen, then what do you need to do with glass chips, it is better to take a piece of silver and come out, without saving much weight and volume.

After Li Mu considered it, the minimum amount of 'inch round' chips set was ten yuan. Ten pieces of money, if it is all copper money, it is the amount of a sack, and it is already very inconvenient to carry it. And if it is exchanged for silver, it is also a pound of weight, far less small than an inch of glass chips. One or two pieces of gold can be compared with it, but after all, the amount of gold is small, and ordinary people, even if they have money, may not be able to have gold. On the front, there is the word "Shiguan" written in "Qian Ti", and on the back is a cute panda. At such a time, how could Li Mu forget his godson.

Once you've decided on the minimum amount, it's easy to do. Above the ten runs is the hundred, and the hundred runs were set by him as the size of a bank card in his previous life, and the rectangle with the thickness of chopsticks. On the front, there is the word "Baiguan" written in the "money body", and on the back is the four big characters of "Fortune and Treasure". Qianguan was set by him to the size of a mobile phone in his previous life, about four inches long, more than two inches wide, slightly thicker than "Baiguan", and it was almost the feeling of holding a five-inch screen mobile phone in his hand. On the front, it is still the word "Qianguan" written in the "money body", and on the back is the four big characters of "wealth and prosperity".

As for 'Wanguan', he didn't make it for the time being, because he didn't need it. With the current level of consumption, Qianguan is already the limit. Even if it is used in business, it is rare to have more than 10,000 orders. Even if there is, if there is a transaction that reaches 10,000 yuan, in the short term, there will inevitably be few people who dare to trade with glass chips. In such a big business, most of them don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

Li Mu is not in a hurry, according to the current development speed of the Internal Affairs Office, it will not be long before Wanguan's glass chips will be useful, sooner or later.

Throughout the day, Li Mu made a total of 10,000 "100 pieces", 1,000 "100 pieces", 100 "100 pieces", a total of 300,000 chips. It's not much, but it's enough to open a business. With the blessing of the system, it doesn't take much time to make glass chips. I reproduce it when I am missing, and it is completely in time.

Li Mu instructed Ergou to find a wooden box, put the glass chips in it, lock it with a big lock, and carry it to the "Four Seas Gambling House".

The chips are ready, and the next step is the gambling equipment.

Datang's folk gambling equipment is still in a very barren stage. The most common is the leaf tiles that were eliminated by Li Mu with mahjong. With the popularity of mahjong, the leaf card has been declining, and the reason why it still occupies a part of the market is that the price of mahjong is too expensive. A set of ordinary mahjong should also be consistent with money. Ordinary people were reluctant to buy it, so they could only continue to play leaf cards.

But it is said that there are already mahjong made of mud carving, but Li Mu has not seen it with his own eyes.

In addition to the leaf card, there is no serious gambling equipment among the people. Many people gamble money, and they still stay at the stage of guessing the stone or guessing the pregnant woman next door giving birth to a boy or a girl.

The opening of the Four Seas Casino will surely change all this.

At night, Li Mu fought at night. Of course, he was not reading, but drawing the manuscript of the gambling equipment. As a game designer, his sketching skills are still okay. Pai Gow, dice, nature is essential. He also made it out of poker, but he did a little "localization", replacing the jqk of poker with Zi, Bo, and Gong, and the big and small kings with emperors and queens. The gameplay is also restricted, one tube is one, and there are no cards that can be bigger than the emperor and queen. As for the gameplay that four cards can "fry" the king, Li Mu simply didn't add it to it.

With the passion to contribute to Datang's entertainment career, Li Mu was busy for half a night. Early the next morning, he rode straight to the Ministry of Works, gathered all the idle carpenters of the "technician" level, and gave a time limit of three days, and each person made five sets.

Poker is made of split thin bamboo strips, and the current papermaking technology cannot make the thick cardboard that the poker felt in the previous life.

The carpenters took the order and left, and Li Mu began to get bored again. When he came out of the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Li Mu sat on the steps in a daze boredly, really unable to think of anything to do.

Dugu Jiu has not shown up since yesterday morning. Li Siwen went home, how could it take a day or two. Even if he has a normal relationship with Li Zhen, he still loves Li Zhen's son very much, and brings him a lot of things.

Li Chongyi has been walking for three days, Li Mu stood up, glanced at the south, and secretly said in his heart, it is snowing, and I don't know if the trip has been delayed.

With a sigh, Li Mu came down the steps, planning to go home for dinner. As soon as I got on the horse, I suddenly saw a person walking not far away, and when I looked closely, it was Ma Zhou. Li Mu chuckled in his heart, hurriedly urged the horse over, and asked, "Why did you come back?" Something went wrong? Where is my brother? ”

When Ma Zhou saw Li Mu on the horse, he suddenly bent his knees and knelt on the ground. Li Mu hurriedly dismounted and dragged him up, and asked, "What the hell is going on, is my brother dead or alive?" ”

"Headmaster, your brother is fine, the mission is fine, it's me, I'm ......" Ma Zhou was a little embarrassed, but he also knew that he couldn't hide from it, so he told the cause and effect.

After Ma Zhou finished speaking, he felt ashamed, he didn't dare to look up at Li Mu, knelt down again, and said: "The student has betrayed the trust of the principal, has no place to be ashamed, and has no complaints at the mercy of the principal." I just want to beg for my life, and there is an old mother at home"

"Alas!" Li Mu sighed, helped Ma Zhou up, and said, "I don't blame you for sending a letter to General Chang He." After all, you are deeply favored by him, and it is reasonable to repay him. It's just that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't keep you. You go back to General Changhe's mansion, this matter is over, and I will act as if nothing has happened. ”

Ma Zhou left tears in his eyes, kowtowed to Li Mu, and said, "The student has no face to beg, thank you for the principal's teaching." ”

Li Mu smiled, turned over on his horse, and swept past Ma Zhou.

For what Ma Zhou did, Li Mu was not surprised at all. He asked Ma Zhou to go with him, just as Wang Pu guessed, and wanted to pass the news to Li Shimin through the channel of General Chang He, so that he could rest assured.

But who is the other person who is dressed as a businessman?

Ma Zhou did not hide the situation of the day, and told Li Mu about 1510. This made Li Mu puzzled, in addition to Ma Zhou, there were also people who tried to pass on the news. Who is he, and for whom is the message delivered?

It's a pity that this person has been strangled to death by Li Chongyi, and all information has been interrupted, otherwise Li Mu will definitely try his best to pry his mouth open.

The enemy is not terrible, what is terrible is not knowing who the enemy is. Li Mu has the confidence to deal with all situations, but it is easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, an enemy hidden in the shadows, he can't help but pay attention to it.

Do you want to start an espionage organization of your own?

Jinyiwei has been sent to Zhenla to do business, and if he starts another spy organization, do you want to get an East Factory out?

Li Mu pondered for a while, maybe it wasn't impossible. Now in Chang'an City, there is a factory in the west and a factory in the east. The Xicheng factory produces people's biological resources, and the Dongcheng factory is planned to be used as an arsenal. Logically speaking, they are all classified as secret places. There needs to be some guards, and rightfully so.

Xicheng Factory, referred to as West Factory. Dongcheng Factory, referred to as Dongchang Factory.

Reasonable!

The corners of Li Mu's mouth rose, as a traverser, he just wanted to do things. If you don't do things, are you still called a traverser? Li Mu made up his mind, so he went home and wrote a letter and handed it over. I also took this opportunity to show off the "money style" calligraphy that I had just learned, scaring Li Shimin and letting him see the learning speed of geniuses.

Isn't it calligraphy? It's just a matter of one day if you don't learn, just learn!
