Chapter 126: Jiang Xiaobai gives gifts
The emperor could hear that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Xiaobai, what's going on?" Isn't this thing worth much? β
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Your Majesty, this thing is really worthless, we have built a glaze factory now." Although the scale is still very small, it can produce more than 1,000 catties of this thing in a day. When the scale of our glass factory expands, do you think about it, is this thing still valuable? β
Is it a small scale to produce more than 1,000 catties a day? If you get bigger, you can do it. The emperor felt that his heart ached, why was this thing not his own? Lao Tzu is the emperor!
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the emperor's dead father, and couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, don't be heartbroken, although we made these things, I said that I would pay you taxes." And what was said before was not to be handed over to the treasury, but to the emperor's inner hall. β
The emperor's eyes lit up, and his heart immediately felt comfortable, and he couldn't help asking: "Then how much tax can you pay to me in a year as the number one company in the world?" β
This is the main concern of the emperor.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Your Majesty, you won't be so forgetful!" As I said before, I don't know how much I can pay a month, but I promise that the tax of my first company in the world can be higher than that of your county. Now our No. 1 company in the world has not yet opened, and after it opens, we will pay you taxes every month. Now we are still under construction and have no income, so this tax silver can only be handed over to the emperor after it opens. β
The Emperor's eyes lit up again. couldn't help but say, "Jiang Xiaobai, what you said before is true?" β
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Of course it's true, can this kind of thing be a joke?" Your Majesty, come and see our red brick. How much better than your mud bricks? Build a house out of this thing. It can withstand the earthquake! Also, do you know what this thing is? It's called cement. You can't use it to build a house, and you can't beat it with a cannon......"
Jiang Xiaobai was there and talked endlessly to introduce them to the emperor. Don't want to shock the emperor and these ministers.
A bunch of old guys are like kids in preschool. followed Jiang Xiaobai, the teacher, to study seriously.
Jiang Xiaobai confessed that he didn't want to pretend to be forced to do this, but he knew that it was really not good for him not to pretend to be forced to do this. If you don't give them a science popularization at one time, it won't be good if these guys make a fuss one by one.
When Jiang Xiaobai finished popularizing science for these people, these people were already stupid, and they found that they were really like an ignorant child.
Finally finished explaining it to them.
The emperor's heart is already turbulent, living in such a house is much cooler than his bullshit palace, it is dark and clammy and cold, compared with these houses, it is simply not a grade.
Jiang Xiaobai secretly pulled the emperor aside, and whispered to him to bite his ear and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of my houses?" β
The Emperor couldn't help but praise: "Okay, it's much better than those houses of mine." β
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since the emperor said so, how about I build a palace for you here and give it to you?" β
"Really?"
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked vigilantly, "Why did you send me a palace?" β
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Your Majesty, aren't we friends? You are willing to give me so much land. What's wrong with me building you a palace? β
"Really? Don't you have to spend a penny? β
"Nonsense, what do you mean by sending?"
"Jiang Xiaobai, do you know how much it costs to build a palace?"
Jiang Xiaobai said indifferently: "Your Majesty." Isn't it just tens of millions of taels of silver? My No. 1 company in the world has such a big industry, are you still afraid that I don't have so much money? β
Tens of millions of taels?
The Emperor smiled. Didn't this Jiang Xiaobai cheat a little money from Gao Taiwei? There's not much to get in hand, right? Lao Tzu, look at how you build?
The emperor said proudly: "Okay, I will wait for your palace to stay." β
Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry!" But this money can't be left out of it alone. In this way, Your Majesty, you will say that this palace was given to you by the second prince! The second prince seems to have some money in his hand, so I discussed it with him and asked him to take out the money in his hand, and I, Jiang Xiaobai, will carry the rest alone. β
Hehe!
The emperor smiled, he didn't believe that Jiang Xiaobai would be willing to go bankrupt to build a palace for him in order to pat his ass.
After the emperor took the ministers to visit, Bai Xiaojiang really asked people to send thousands of catties of glass.
Although Jiang Xiaobai said that this glass is worthless, who believes it? It's the same thing that someone tells them that gold jewelry isn't worth much.
As soon as he saw these glasses, all the ministers, including the emperor, were not calm, and the emperor's sedan chair was no longer sitting, so he asked people to move the glass to his sedan chair, until the sedan chair was almost unbearable, and then he stopped.
And those ministers didn't have a palanquin, so they asked his men to help carry it.
Jiang Xiaobai couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to move, move it yourself!" These guards of yours can't be coolies for you, their task is to protect the emperor and the adults, let them carry things, what if there is something good on the way? I, Jiang Xiaobai, can't afford such a big responsibility! β
When the ministers heard this, where did they dare to let his men move? They promised the emperor and didn't agree!
But these ministers, seeing these valuable things, are really reluctant. Just get started on your own, and take as much as you can anyway! As long as you take it back, it will be developed.
The prince and the sons and daughters asked weakly: "That Jiang Xiaobai, can we take it?" β
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes, no matter what you say, you have also worked for us here for so long, this should be regarded as a gift from me Jiang Xiaobai to you." I hope you don't hold a grudge against me in the future. β
The prince was excited when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't hold grudges, don't hold grudges, if you had known that you would be able to get so much glass back, wouldn't you ask us all to rush here!" Haha......"
So, a strange picture appeared, the emperor didn't sit in a sedan chair when he traveled, he walked.
The ministers don't take a sedan chair when they travel, and they still carry a lot of things. And the soldiers and guards watched from the sidelines.
It's as if these officers and soldiers are watching these bigwigs of the DPRK and China do their work. If these bigwigs in the DPRK and China were changed into civilian clothes, they would definitely look like it.
All the bigwigs in the DPRK and China are desperately moving, and no one wants to move such a valuable thing!
At first, everyone took thirty or forty pounds, and after walking less than a mile, they lost half of them very painfully.
But even if there is only half left, there are about 20 catties! It's uncomfortable to carry! Those military attachΓ©s were a little better, but those civil officials suffered a great sin, and when they moved these glasses home, the whole person was exhausted and collapsed. But when I saw the dozen catties of glass I moved back, I felt a sense of accomplishment!
