Wang Xiang is going to burn glass, although he can make money by opening a restaurant, the speed of making money is too slow, and he doesn't know when he wants to save enough money to help Ning Xiang redeem himself, not to mention that there are now three more people: Xiaoyun, Qing'er and Xiaobei.

The sensation caused by this stage performance in Chang'an City strengthened Wang Xiang's determination to redeem them, in fact, not only because of their star potential, maybe in Wang Xiang's heart, he has unconsciously regarded Ning Xiang as a friend, and if he has the ability, he will naturally not let his friend continue to stay in a place like Yicui Building. As for Xiaoyun, Qing'er and Xiaobei, they don't care about the three of them even if Ning Xiang is redeemed.

Wang Xiang knew that glass was fired from stone, but in the Tang Dynasty, glass was a precious thing, so he had already moved his mind to Li Er.

At this time, seeing that Li Er was interested, Wang Xiang couldn't help but rub his hands: "Your Majesty, how much do you think these gadgets can be worth?" ”

"This ......" Li Er hesitated for a moment and said: "Such lifelike glass, I'm afraid one piece can be worth hundreds of times." ”

Empress Changsun on the side smiled bitterly: "The glazed phoenix that Silla paid tribute to last year was only the size of a palm, and the degree of similarity cannot be compared with these glazes, but I heard that the Silla envoy spent thousands of times to buy it. ”

Li Er took a deep breath: "In this way, aren't these glasses worth a thousand yuan!" "You must know that the annual income of Datang at this time is only about 10 million yuan, and Wang Xiang casually took out some glass and it was worth 10,000 yuan, how could Li Er not be surprised.

Wang Xiang smiled: "In fact, it is not as much as Your Majesty thinks, rare things are expensive, if there is more glass, it will naturally not be as precious as before, but ......"

"But what?"

"But others don't know that we can turn stone into glass."

Li Er put down his chopsticks and looked at Wang Xiang with a serious face: "Do you really have a way to turn stones into glass?" No wonder Li Er is so serious, in his eyes, this is almost an immortal technique that turns stones into gold, and glass is a more valuable thing than gold.

Wang Xiang didn't dare to let Li Er feel that he knew witchcraft, and even immortal arts, no emperor would ever tolerate his courtiers knowing witchcraft, these unknown abilities would only make the emperor feel suspicious and suspicious.

"In fact, it is not a change, in terms of physology, glass and stone originally belong to the same substance, but the form of existence is different."

Empress Eldest Sun said curiously: "The glass is crystal clear, the stone is rough and gray, how can the two be the same kind...... Substance? ”

Wang Xiang smiled and explained: "In fact, the stones are not all rough and gray, some stones have smooth surfaces and bright colors, which are quite ornamental. Wang Xiang is talking about the pebbles of later generations, stones such as rain flower stones, these stones must have been in the Tang Dynasty, but I don't know what they are called.

Sure enough, Empress Changsun listened to Wang Xiang's words and nodded: "The palace has indeed collected some stones like you said, but if you talk about glass, the difference between it and stones is too big." ”

"What is the difference between water and ice?" Without waiting for Empress Changsun to speak, Wang Xiang continued: "However, if the water condenses, it becomes ice, and when the ice melts, it becomes water, and the two are really the same thing, but the form is different. ”

Li Er nodded thoughtfully: "This is what you call Gewuxue?" ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, all the phenomena in this world can be explained by Gewuxue, and the horseshoe invented by the minister and the improved Quyuan plough are strictly speaking the category of Gewuxue."

"Gewuxue is just a trail."

Listening to Li Er's tone, Wang Xiang seemed to look down on Gewuxue and sighed: "In the eyes of Your Majesty, perhaps there is only the way to govern the country, and the way to pacify the enemy is the avenue." ”

Li Er naturally asked rhetorically: "Isn't that so?" ”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the foundation of this world?"

Li Er thought for a while and said, "The world is naturally people-oriented. ”

"Since there is only the way to govern the country and the way to pacify the enemy is the avenue, why is the world not based on scholars and soldiers, but on the insignificant people?"

Hearing this question, Li Er didn't know how to answer.

"In fact, the relationship between the world and the people is like a boat on water, and water can carry a boat......"

Wang Xiang didn't say the last half of the sentence, but looking at Li Er's expression, he knew that he had guessed the next half of the sentence.

"What does that Gexue have to do with the people?"

Li Er, such a smart person, was confused at this time, Wang Xiang asked with a smile: "Your Majesty thinks that Qu Yuan Plough has nothing to do with the people?" ”

Li Er snorted noncommittally: "In this way, Gewuxue is also somewhat useful, but after all, the world still has to be governed by scholars and guarded by soldiers." ”

Depend on! Talking for a long time is equivalent to saying it in vain, Wang Xiang is a little discouraged.

"You said so much, in fact, you just want to tell Your Majesty that you can turn stones into glass, not the power of ghosts and gods, but the merit of Gewuxue, and if others know the method, you can do it, right?"

is worthy of being the eldest grandson queen, and one sentence said what Wang Xiang thought in his heart, in fact, Li Erzhong didn't pay attention to Gewuxue about his, as long as he didn't think that his method of turning stones into glass was witchcraft.

Li Er looked at the glass toy on the table, and his face moved slightly: "So you turned the stone into glass for the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Wang Xiang said awe-inspiringly: "Of course, instead of selling my Tang silk, tea and porcelain to the Western Regions, it is better to sell these stones to them, wouldn't it be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, and the ministers will also make a little money by the way." ”

Li Er glanced at Wang Xiang: "I'm afraid that the latter sentence is your real plan, it's not a small amount of money to turn stones into glass." As a Datang official, you get into the eyes of money all day long, and it seems that the queen's teaching to you is still not enough. ”

Empress Changsun smiled: "It was the concubine's negligence, and she will definitely teach more in the future." ”

As soon as the couple sang and harmonized, Wang Xiang suddenly understood what they meant.

"I would like to give fifty percent of the proceeds to thank Your Majesty and Niangniang for their teachings."

"Fifty percent." Li Er picked up chopsticks, took a slice of mutton, put it in the pot and shook it.

Wang Xiang gritted his teeth: "Sixty percent." ”

"This meat is only six ripe after shabu-shabu, I am a little unaccustomed to eating it, let's soak it for a while."

Depend on! What six ripe can't get used to eating, just now it's not just a pleasure to eat shabu-shabu, Wang Xiang took a deep breath: "Seventy percent, it's over the heat again, the meat is too hard and it's not delicious." ”

"It's okay, I have a good mouth, I like to eat harder."

Nima, is there such a shameless emperor, Wang Xiang said in a low voice: "The minister still has a large family to support." ”

"I know exactly how many people there are in your house."

"My new bodyguard can eat five people's food for one person."

"Why don't I give you some money? Well, let's add an extra 200 stone of grain every year, and there will be so much rice for the four-grade officials every year. ”

Two hundred stone of grain? Sent to call Huazi, Wang Xiang is powerless to complain about Li Er's slamming.

"The minister is timid and can't be frightened, if he forgets the method of turning stones into glass, it will be a real sin."

Li Er's hand holding the chopsticks shook slightly, and said with a smile: "This mutton is almost ripe when it reaches eight years, and the taste is just right." ”

As soon as he shook his hand, Wang Xiang's heart was trembling, and it was less than one percent, but fortunately, the glass was a real profiteering, two percent was already a lot, and with Li Er as the backing, he didn't have to worry about what others thought, just make money quietly.

"Just do as Your Majesty says."

Li Er was in a good mood when he heard this, threw the mutton that had been soaked for a long time into his mouth, chewed it twice, shook his head and said, "The heat is really over." ”

Wang Xiang burst into tears.

Li Er may also feel that he only takes money and doesn't do things, so he asked lightly, "But what do you need my help with?" ”

was all pitted by Li Er, and at this time, Wang Xiang wrenched his fingers and said: "The venue for firing glass, reliable manpower, and ...... funds in the early stage."

Li Er hurriedly interrupted: "I see that you seem to be quite interested in Gewuxue, there is an abandoned guard in the south of the city, and from today onwards, it will be changed to Gewuyuan to be used as a venue for firing glaze, and you will serve as the judge of the court, tentatively designated as the fifth grade, and the post of supervisor of Sinong Temple will also be held first." As for manpower, I allow you to transfer officials below the seventh rank from each department. ”

"What about the upfront funds?"

Li Er waved his hand and said, "You can solve the matter of funds yourself." ”

In this way, Wang Xiang got an abandoned guard, and the seven-rank supervisor was promoted to the five-grade court, and the only thing that satisfied him was that the Gewu Academy took him as the main thing, and the required manpower could be selected by himself, although only officials below the seventh rank could be transferred, but it was these low-level officials who could really do things.

Li Er's family ate a hot pot beautifully, and after the meal, they ate snacks and drank juice before they left satisfied, and when they left, they took away all the dozen glass toys, saying that the little son likes it, and Wang Xiang is really hard to say anything for this reason.

After sending Li Er away, Wang Xiang was not in a hurry to go to the south of the city to see the future Gewu Academy, and this matter had to wait for Li Er to go back and make a formal will. And today is the day of the opening of Dengxian Building, Degui, the shopkeeper, is still a little too busy to be a temporary junior, fortunately today's launch is a self-service hot pot plus free without charging money, otherwise this manpower is really not possible.

The most troublesome thing is the fanatical fans gathered outside the Dengxian Tower, although Ning Xiang's performance has long ended, and the people have also hid on the second floor of the Dengxian Tower, but the emotional fans are unwilling to leave, and Cheng Chuliang led a team of patrol soldiers to maintain order outside, so there was no chaos.

In a private room on the second floor of Dengxian Building, Xiaoyun, Qing'er and Xiaobei were all flushed, and even Ning Xiang, who had always been calm, was a little excited, and he could vaguely hear someone downstairs calling his name, which was something that he didn't dare to imagine before.

"Sister Ning Xiang, is this the power of fans that Wang Gongzi said?"

Ning Xiang smiled bitterly: "I still didn't believe it when Wang Gongzi told me about the madness of fans, but when I saw it today, I realized that real fans were even crazier than he said." ”

"It's a good feeling." Xiaoyun said with a look of longing: "Wang Gongzi said that we can not only become the stars of Chang'an City, but also the stars of the entire Tang Dynasty. Qing'er's eyes were also full of fanaticism when she heard this.

Wang Zixin, what kind of person are you? Ning Xiang looked at the crowd gathered downstairs through the window and thought about it.
