The emperor is a turtle! Isn't it just that there are a few glass windows, or the kind spliced with ice cracks, and you can't help but show off. In order to show off the glass lampshade, he also specially gave a banquet to the noble ministers in the side hall of the Chongzheng Palace.

Because Li Buqi is a person who makes glass, he can be among the group of uncles wearing purple robes and red robes, and he is also fortunate to meet the conscience of the Great Song Dynasty - the great writer Fan Zhongyan, and Fan Zhongyan's famous big-mouthed pig teammate - the great writer Ouyang Xiu.

Alas, when the literati get together, they have to pretend to be elegant, and they have to compose poems without suspense. And Li Buqi, as the inventor of transparent glass, is destined to not be able to escape, who made him have the title of Xiucai now.

Isn't it just poetry! Anyway, Li Buqi is thick-skinned, he can't make good poems and can't do business trips, as long as the rhyme doesn't make mistakes, and if he doesn't make a good job, he admits that his talent is not enough, anyway, Li Buqi doesn't want to be a writer.

Although Li Buqi didn't want to be a writer, he couldn't stand everyone's attention to him this time. As soon as he finished the poem, the emperor asked people to read it, and Zhang Dexiang was the first to shake his head: "It's not good, it's not good, it's done rudely." ”

Yan Shu, Du Yan and the others also shook their heads in disapproval. Unexpectedly, Mr. Fan Zhongyan said: "The sentence 'spring water comes out of the fire, and the sun is the most clear' still has some merits, and people who are not good at making glass may rarely write such a sentence." It would be nice to think about it again. ”

Ouyang Xiu continued: "Yes, I also thought that although this sentence was a little less polished, it was also a little literary. ”

The emperor also chimed in: "Yes, this sentence is difficult for others to write. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the ministers could not say anything more.

Li Buqi hurriedly got up and thanked Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu for their compliments. Thinking of Fan Zhongyan's ability to reuse Di Qing and other generals in Shaanxi, and laying the foundation for the later Western Army, I couldn't help but have a good impression of the old gentleman.

The emperor took the opportunity to say: "I don't give up my young age, but I have worked a lot for me, and I feel uneasy every time I think of delaying his study." It's just that there are some things that others can't do for him. Fan Qing, Ouyang Qing's family, you are all article owners, and you will not give up more on-demand in the future. ”

Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu hurriedly said, "The minister respectfully obeys the holy will. ”

The emperor immediately said to Li Buqi: "Don't give up, it's rare that the two Qing families are willing to teach you." Have you ever thanked Fan Qing and Ouyang Qing's family? ”

Li Buqi hurriedly saluted Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, and cooperated with the staging of a live drama in which the monarch and the minister got along.

The emperor must have been well-intentioned, but he did something bad. Li Bu gave up and could only smile bitterly in his heart.

It was probably because the emperor saw that Li Buqi and Wenchen were incompatible, and wanted to let the two sides release their suspicions through this incident, but the Tao was different and did not conspire with each other, and the emperor's thoughts must have been in vain.

Moreover, after the failure of the Qingli reform, the reformers will be driven out of the capital, and at that time, those who have already looked at Li Buqi and are not pleasing to the eye will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, but do not underestimate their ability to make general contacts.

However, the emperor's face cannot be refuted, and now he can only do so first, and then he will do it when he sees the opportunity.

Li Buqi actually has a question in his heart: The emperor found a teacher for him in front of so many people, where did Ding Du's face go. But immediately he knew he was thinking too much.

When the banquet was dismissed, Mr. Ding Du pulled Li Buqi and walked in front of Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu: "Xiwen, Uncle Yong, the wisdom of Zhongzheng is unpredictable, and a shallow person like an old man can be a teacher." Therefore, the old man begged His Majesty several times to find another teacher for this little friend, so as not to delay him, and since His Majesty entrusted him to you, the old man was relieved. ”

Li Buqi hurriedly said: "The scholar's scholar hasn't learned a single point, why is the bachelor unwilling to teach me?" ”

Ding Du glared: "If you want to say that you are still far from writing poetry." But if you want to talk about the truth of being a person and doing things, the old man really can't argue with you. The old man is self-aware of this! Xiwen is a great Confucian in the world, much stronger than the old man. ”

I have to admit that the real Confucian ethics of this era are indeed noble, and I feel that this student can't teach by himself, so he asks others to teach him openly, and he doesn't hide it at all. However, Mr. Ding hoped that Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu could change Li Buqi's three views, but he underestimated Li Buqi.

When Ding Du walked out, Wang Zhongzheng, who was beside the emperor, trotted over again and told Li Buqi that the emperor would summon him tomorrow.

The emperor could not be lazy when summoned, and the next day Li Buqi entered the palace early and waited. After the emperor finished dealing with political affairs, he called Li Buqi, but his face was slightly red before he spoke: "Don't give up, seeing that it is the New Year again, there will always be many rewards." It's just that the inner library is empty now, and I intend to reward the minister with the glassware produced in the testing ground, can you produce more there? ”

Oh, it turns out that the emperor is short of money again. If there is a difficulty, you can't give up. It's a good habit.

But Li Buqi still said: "The minister can only do his best." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Can't you build a few more kilns?" If you are short of money, you can find a few more companies to scrape together some money, as long as you divide some shares among them. ”

Hehe! This seems to be the rhythm of someone looking at the profits of the glass kiln and wanting to share the fertilizer. Several top nobles have shares in the test ground, so they won't be in such a hurry, and the other people who can talk to the emperor are relatives of the emperor.

These people's energy is not small, of course Li Buqi can't directly refuse to offend them, just said: "Your Majesty, this is not a matter of money or money. If you build more glass kilns, you always have to have more craftsmen to work. It is not easy to control when there are too many people, and it is easy to leak rumors. Now the method of making glass is actually very simple, it is worthless if it is broken, so many craftsmen who make glass in the world will do it, glass is not valuable, where do we make money? ”

"Especially if it is passed into the hands of maritime merchants and to the Liao country, then we will not be able to sell high prices to maritime merchants and Liao people. Therefore, the minister thought that for the time being, it should be kept secret first, and when these craftsmen have perfected the method of making glass, it is not possible to leak it in one or two sentences, and then build more kilns and use more craftsmen. Even if some news is leaked, others can't make the same high-quality products as the testing ground. In this way, the profit of the proving ground can be guaranteed. ”

"Oh, there's so much more." Hearing Li Buqi say this, the emperor was also worried that the leakage would be unprofitable, especially if the maritime merchants and the Liao State had a way to make glass, it was even more unacceptable. This method of making glass is a gift from God to the Great Song Dynasty. So he said, "Then it is as you arranged." ”

Today, the emperor was in high spirits, stood up and walked up to Li Buqi and said, "Fortunately, it will only be a year or two since I think about it, and it will be good if the treasury will be full in a few years or so." ”

According to the experience of chatting with the leader before the crossing, this is waiting for Li Buqi to ask the reason. Li Buqi had no choice but to pretend to be very interested and asked: "The minister heard that the state has been insufficient for several years, but what new method does Your Majesty have?" ”

Zhao Zhen patted a book on the case and said: "A few days ago, Fan Xiwen wrote "Chen Shishishu" to me when he was playing the right thing in Tianzhang Pavilion, and put forward ten propositions of 'Ming Dethronement, Suppressing Luck, Jinggongju, Selecting Officials, Jungongtian, Thick Nongsang, Repairing Military Equipment, Reducing Conscription, Qin Enxin, and Heavy Orders'. I believe that if these ideas are adopted, I believe that the treasury will be replenished again in a few years. ”
