Can glass make money? Can you make a lot of money?

Isn't that nonsense?

In addition to the era of bad glass products in the future, if glass can be made in ancient times, how can it be made more than just making money? It's just going to make a lot of money, okay?

For example, a few hundred years later, Venice was born, and the famous "Glass Island" was born!

Because the mirrors made in Venice are so famous that they have locked up thousands of workers on this island, the apparent reason is that it takes a lot of fire to make glass, and in fact they are afraid that the secret of making mirrors will be passed on. At that time, they even strictly forbade contact with people inside and outside the island, and anyone who dared to divulge secrets was put to death......

Can the technology that makes such a big splash in a country worth it?

However, in the face of his second brother, Li Yuanjia looked bitter: "Your Majesty, you are wrong to blame your brother...... Yes, that's right, the younger brother really wants to do this glass business, but the purpose is not to make money, but to earn back the money he invested before! ”

"Hehe......"

The emperor's sneer made Li Yuanjia's heart tighten, and he hurriedly added: "Really, in order to be able to make these things, I have spent countless amounts of money before and after. ”

Although he was a little weak-hearted, Li Yuanjia still showed sincerity.

Countless statements may be an exaggeration, but the construction of glass workshops, the creation of those utensils, and of course, the endless supply of various raw materials and fuels must be counted, and there must be thousands of them!

If you don't do glass business, how can you get this money back?

After hearing his younger brother say this, Li Shimin's expression softened a little. Although he did not have a specific number, the fact that the Han Wangfu built a large workshop in Zhuangzi outside the city and purchased a large amount of fuel and various materials every month was clear to the emperor.

I dare not say more, there must be more than 1,000 per month.

Although this more than 1,000 pieces are used by many workshops, the glass workshop is one of the big ones, and Li Yuanjia has told him several times. So now looking at his brother's bitter gourd face, Li Shimin's brows furrowed, and he felt a little crying and laughing - he really didn't want his younger brother to go further and further in the "shopping mall", but the investment in the past few years has really spent a lot of money.

“……”

Looking at the eyes of bitterness and expectation, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly.

To tell the truth, when I heard Lao Shi say just now that a box of glass was worth three hundred yuan, even as the emperor, he was a little moved, especially when he saw the window that had been installed just now, Li Shimin instantly affirmed one thing - if this thing can really be made in large quantities, his brother will definitely make a profit!

As for his manna hall, I'm afraid it will cost thousands of times to install it, right? If the entire Daxing Palace is covered with glass......

Anyway, that number, he, the emperor, didn't dare to think about it!

It's not that he can't afford that money, but it's too distressing, and when he thinks of Li Yuanjia in the middle, he doesn't know how much he wants to earn, and the emperor feels like he has been beaten hard, and he is so uncomfortable!

At most, it's the place he often goes, and let the old eleven replace the glass window.

But in addition to the palace, is there less glass needed in this Chang'an City? Not to mention anything else, just the wealthy families that Li Shimin knows, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chigong and Cheng Zhijie, if they really know such a good thing as glass, which one can not spend thousands of dollars to decorate it?

In addition, there are Luoyang, Taiyuan......

"Or ......"

At this moment, a thought suddenly popped up in Li Shimin's mind! It's just that as soon as this thought came out, Li Shimin quickly shook his head and completely dispelled it.

No, no!

Han Wangfu's business is at most discussed in private, and the royal family has lost some face, if he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, dares to do this kind of thing......

Li Shimin, who wants to leave a good reputation for his life, would not do such a thing.

The emperor's face flickered, and Li Yuanjia next to him was uncomfortable.

At this time, he couldn't figure out the second child's mind, whether he was willing to let himself do the glass business. If you want to, everything will be easy to do, and when the time comes, you will sell it to the big families in the two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang, even if each household only buys three or five noodles, it will be a business of hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the money earned is enough for those workshops in his Han Wangfu to last for decades! If you wait until the future, Han Cheng and them will also make the mirror......

Tsk, that's really not a business of hundreds of thousands, or even millions!

But......

After all, this glass is different from Quyuan plough and white paper, it is really full of "copper smell", and the emperor can really tolerate his younger brother to do this business?

You must know that this thing is no better than others, and everyone will naturally know whose handwriting it is as soon as it is listed!

So in a weak heart, Li Yuanjia blinked, and suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, second brother, there is one more thing that the younger brother has not reported to you!" ”

"Well, say."

Waving his hand, Li Shimin said a little absent-mindedly.

After taking a deep breath, Li Yuanjia said in a deep voice: "It's that my brother told you last year that if I give me a hundred carpenters and a hundred handymen, I can let them build three hundred overturned cars a month, and now there are results." ”

"Hmm...... Well? Got a result? ”

Originally, he just nodded casually, but when the emperor came back to his senses and understood the meaning of his brother's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Li Yuanjia with a swish.

"Yes, second brother."

Nodding, Li Yuanjia said with a little pride: "In February this year, they built a total of more than 300 overturned cars, exceeding the number of 300 for the first time!" And from March onwards, the quantity they make every month will definitely not be less than three hundred! ”

"Sizzle......"

Even if he is well-informed and weathered like Li Shimin, after hearing this result, he still subconsciously gasped, and he didn't know what to say for a while!

Regarding Li Yuanjiali's military order at the beginning, to be honest, he really asked someone for it, and the result was that if there were only a hundred carpenters, even if he worked hard, he could make fifty or sixty units at most a month, and it was impossible to make a hundred, let alone three hundred!

So Li Shimin didn't take the military order or anything too seriously.

In his mind, the most he could do when the time came was to take Li Yuanjia to the palace and scold him severely. But he never thought that he would hear such words today!

This kid, did he really succeed?
