Chapter 44: The Most Trusted Person

"All in all, this glass is important!"

Tapping his fingers on the table, Li Yuanjia said lightly: "If nothing else, it will become the most important source of wealth for the Han Palace, even more than all other industries combined...... Hehe, I'm not only talking about the workshops in the Zhuangzi, but also the output of all the Zhuangzi and land under our name! ”

"What?"

After listening to his words, whether it was Han Lucheng, who had been following him just now, or Han Shan, who had just felt Zhuangzi, they exclaimed at the same time.

The reaction of the father and son is almost identical!

How can it be?!

If you want to say that it is more than the sum of all the workshops in the palace, in fact, Han Shan and his father and son still believe it, after all, the king can always come up with some strange ideas, and he doesn't know how much money is thrown into these workshops every year! So even if Wang Pu's white paper has never been in short supply, and the cards made by Li Zhong and them are even more difficult to find in Chang'an City, but there is one thing that Han Shan's father and son know very well in their hearts that these industries are losing money!

Over the years, I have basically relied on the income of the thirteen items that year.

But the thirteen incense was only a one-time transaction after all, and after several thirteen incense appeared in Chang'an City, Han Wangfu withdrew from this market. Now, in addition to the self-sufficiency of the paper workshop, almost all the other hundreds of people have to rely on the palace to survive, especially the movable type printing side is a bottomless pit that swallows money!

If it weren't for the king's wealth, he would have been unable to bear it a long time ago!

In fact, the reason why the king dares to keep throwing money in, in addition to the income of the thirteen incense that year, the most important thing is that the annual income is enough, and he is not afraid of wasting money!

As a prince, the Yulu he receives from the Tang Dynasty every year is the first in the world!

And in addition to those Yulu, there are tens of thousands of acres of land under the name of Han Wangfu, tens of thousands of acres of vocational fields, and entire mountains and forests, which are rich in production, and can bring thousands, or even tens of thousands, to the king every year!

So when Li Yuanjia said that the value of glass can exceed that of all industries, Han Shan and Han Lucheng were shocked, and a thought popped up in their hearts at the same time......

Who believes it?!

Whether it's glass or glass, it's not like they've never seen this kind of thing, although it's rare, but it's not impossible to see it in Chang'an City.

This thing is expensive, but there are few people who buy it!

Anyway, after frowning and thinking for a while, Han Shan said in a deep voice: "King, I don't quite understand, the glass made by Han Cheng and them does look more beautiful, but there are not many people who like this thing!" As far as I know, the most popular thing in our Chang'an City is jade, this thing ......"

"Hehe, jade? Can jade be compared to glass? ”

After listening to Han Shan's words, Li Yuanjia was immediately happy.

However, he also understood the thoughts of Han Shan's father and son, and the relationship was to regard glass as an ornament, a playpiece, or a luxury item like jade!

If that's the case, the glass really doesn't mean much.

Although it looks very beautiful, no matter how beautiful it is, it is also an "industrial" product, how can it be compared with jade, which represents a "gentleman"?

But after laughing, Li Yuanjia blinked his eyes and chuckled: "Who told you that this glass is the same thing as jade, and it can only be used to see or play with it?" ”

"This ......"

The father and son looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.

"Glass is different from jade, it's so useful!"

Li Yuanjia was not interested in continuing to sell Guanzi, and after a while, he said directly: "Take a look for yourself, it is almost completely transparent, if it is made larger and installed on the window, wouldn't it be able to block the wind and transmit light?" Also, if you could make it into a cup, wouldn't it be beautiful? And also...... Well, in short, it has a lot of uses, but it's not just a plaything! ”

Originally, he wanted to talk about mirrors, but when he thought about it, he only made such a small piece of glass, and he didn't know how many years it would take to make a mirror, so it was better to keep a low profile.

Hearing what Li Yuanjia said, Han Shan and the others immediately understood, and nodded again and again: "Installed on the window?" That's a good one! But...... King, can this glass be made into a cup? ”

"Cups, bottles, you can do it!"

Li Yuanjia didn't bother to explain to them, waved his hand and said: "Okay, I won't tell you in detail about the specifics, in a word, glass is very important to me, so it must be kept strictly secret for a long time in the future, and the manufacturing method must not be allowed to flow out!" ”

"Don't worry, it's impossible!"

After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Han Lucheng immediately swore and said: "I have asked carefully just now, whether it is the craftsmen or the handymen in this glass workshop, they are all our own people in the palace, and they will never go out and talk nonsense!" ”

's own people, which means that they are all "sluts" who sold themselves to Han Wangfu.

These people even belong to Li Yuanjia, as long as they explain it in advance, others don't even want to know the method of making glass from their mouths!

It's just that Han Lucheng said it simply, but Han Shan next to him frowned, squinted and pondered.

Compared with his son, Han Shan's temperament is much calmer.

He pondered the purpose of the king's special call for him, if it was just as his son said, those craftsmen and handymen would definitely not leak the glass practice, what did the king let himself hurry from the city?

Frowning, Han Shan subconsciously glanced up at the king.

And then......

"Sizzle......"

Looking at Li Yuanjia's smiling appearance and the faint flickering disdain in his eyes, Han Shan suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly gasped!

Sure enough, just when Han Shan's heart was shocked, Li Yuanjia had already spoken: "It's not enough!" It's not enough to just promise! I'm going to have the glass workshop separated, so that no one is allowed to come and go on a daily basis. And to make sure of that, I'm going to send a guard over and find someone to stay here ......"

When he arrived here, Li Yuanjia paused, then looked at the father and son and said meaningfully: "This person must be the person I trust the most, or the two people I trust the most, the kind that can be rotated!" ”

The most trusted person?

After hearing this, the father and son looked at each other, and at the same time understood what the king meant.

In this Han Wangfu compound, who else can be trusted by the king more than the two of them? Don't look at Li Zhong and Han Cheng, these little guys jumping up and down are making a lot of fun, today the king even rewarded Han Cheng and them with 500 yuan, but if you want to talk about the real henchmen, it must be their Han family's father and son!

Therefore, the old man Han Shan instantly became enthusiastic, and directly stepped forward and said loudly: "King, the old servant is willing to take on this heavy responsibility......"
