"Cheng Lao Guogong is really open-minded, and for the benefit of everyone, he is willing to let go of such a big profit, which is really a model for my generation!" As soon as he heard that the golden trade route of the grassland slave trade was actually released, Li Jingheng was the first to jump out, he was not a martial artist, the only thing like his father was greedy for money, and Li Daozong did not want his son to enter the official career again, so he let Li Jingheng mess around, and now although this guy is noble, in fact, his thinking has completely changed into a businessman.

Others have long been interested in the profits brought by the slave trade, and now when they hear that they also have the opportunity to participate, they are all surprised, and the praise and flattery in their mouths are flooding, anyway, they are all juniors, and it is not a shame to shoot the sycophants of those old guys.

"Hehe, the opening of the grassland trade routes, this is only one of them, and the slave trade on the Silla side must also be released, this has been approved by Yan Changshi." Wang Zihao dropped another bombshell next, and his eyes saw the old housekeeper of Yanfu sitting at the bottom at the same time.

"Old slave, meet your sons!" The old housekeeper stood up with dignity and made a gesture to the people present, and then said, "My son-in-law has just sent news from Dengzhou, and the trade routes of the slave traders in Dengzhou will also be opened, but if you want to go to Silla to catch slaves, you must join the slave hunting association in Dengzhou, and then the audience will command you in a unified manner." ”

Most of the people sitting there are smart people, and from the matter of opening up the grassland slave trade route just now, many people have guessed that Dengzhou may also open the trade route, but when they really heard about this happy event, they still couldn't help but be overjoyed. Compared to the grasslands. The safety and cost of the Dengju slave trade are smaller, after all, Silla Baekje is a small country, and the folk customs are not as strong as on the grassland, even if you send people to rob it, there will be no big loss, but the grassland is different, and now the grassland slave trader generally organizes caravans to buy slaves from various tribes, and the cost will definitely be higher. Moreover, the transportation of slaves from the grassland was by land, which was not as convenient and fast as the Dengzhou waterway.

"Brother Huailiang, I finally know why Cheng Lao Guogong agreed to let go of the trade route of the grassland slave trade!" Just when everyone was cheering. Li Ke suddenly leaned into Cheng Huailiang's ear and said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Cheng Huailiang, Li Jingye, and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other and laughed with Li Ke. Everything is already in plain sight, and several of their fathers' families are now preparing their own fleets, and they are about to leave for Dengzhou to participate in the slave hunt.

However, after the four of them laughed, the youngest Li Jingye suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thought of another layer of deeper intentions, looked around and didn't pay attention to his side, and said in a low voice: "Everyone, with Rokuro's temper, how could he let go of such two important trade routes for no reason?" There must be some deep meaning in this, and I've heard that something happened on the Goguryeo side. And Rokuro is now let's organize the fleet in a big way, will it ......"

When Li Jingye said this, he looked at Li Ke and the three of them meaningfully, and after they heard Li Jingye's words, they all showed thoughtful expressions. After a while, they figured out what Li Jingye was referring to, but they were immediately taken aback, and after a while, Qin Huaiyu said: "If it is really as Jingye guessed, then Liulang is playing a big game this time, and then he can not only solve the problem of employing people in the mine in one fell swoop." Even in the future, we don't have to worry about the shortage of people. ”

"Everyone, be quiet, we still have two things to talk about, and then let's talk about glass." Wang Zihao waited for a while, seeing that everyone was excited about the opening of the slave trade route, and finally could only stand up and stop it. But even if he came forward, it took a while to suppress everyone's excitement.

"Zihao, the sales situation of the glass factory is very good now, is there any problem?" As soon as he heard that he was going to talk about glass, someone immediately asked in a loud voice. Now there are three huge glass factories in Chang'an alone, and there are many states and counties around Chang'an, all of which are making every effort to produce glass bottles for canning, after all, in this era of backward food preservation means, canned food is too popular.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is like this, the glass bottles produced by the glass factory are indeed in short supply, but many people must have noticed that glass bottles can be used repeatedly, and now many canning factories are recycling used glass bottles, although there will be some glass bottles damaged, but sooner or later this market will have a saturation day, and by that time, many glass factories that are now open will close down because they cannot receive orders."

When Wang Zihao spoke, his face was very heavy, but his heart was happy, and at the same time he was sighing at Li Su's shrewdness, when the glass process was made public, Li Su gave him an order, so that he could let as many people as possible to open a glass factory, regardless of the excessive production of glass in the future, as a result, not only Chang'an and the surrounding glass factories are now engaged, but even people in the southern provinces have bought patents in Chang'an and went back to set up factories, so many glass factories are now only producing canned bottles.

"Zihao, although many people are clear about this problem, but now the profits of the glass factory are really amazing, so many people have been attracted to open the factory blindly, we have nothing to fear, anyway, the factory is large, and each has its own canning factory, even if it goes out of business in the future, it will be those small factories that will close down first." An indifferent fellow stood up and spoke, but his words were echoed by many people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is true, but His Royal Highness King Qi has thought of two new uses of glass, if these two uses can be promoted, there is no need to worry about the sales of the glass factory in the future." Wang Zihao smiled mysteriously, Li Yu first used huge profits to deceive many people on the boat, and then used greater profits to lure others to follow him all the way.

"Oh, it's Rokuro again, hurry up and tell us what it is?" As soon as I heard that it was made by Li Su, everyone was interested, and now Li Su has become a money-making brand, as long as it is something he has made, almost none of them are not profitable.

Wang Zihao waved outside at this time, and immediately several servants came over carrying a box made of wood, and then put it beside him and put it on his side. Everyone looked carefully and found that this was an ordinary Tianzi-shaped shelf, but in the four boxes of 'Tian', they were all inlaid with glass, and they couldn't see what it was used for a while?

Wang Zihao smiled and pointed to the wooden frame and said, "You may look at this thing a little unfamiliar, but if you inlay it on the wall, everyone must know it!" ”

"Paneled against the wall. Isn't that a window? Li Jingye reacted the fastest, and immediately shouted loudly. After he reminded him, others also woke up. Look at this wooden frame, although the workmanship is extremely simple, it does look like a window. It's just that the window paper used now is replaced by glass.

"That's right, this is the new use of glass, the current window paper is opaque, even in the daytime, if you don't open the window, the room is dark, but if the window is open, the spring and summer seasons are fine, and in the autumn and winter, the cold wind alone is unbearable. If you use glass instead of window paper, there will be no above problems, not only bright, but also dust-proof, whether the window is open or not has no effect. Wang Zihao said excitedly.

Everyone understands the benefits of using glass for windows. But no one has thought about this problem before, after all, in their hearts, glass is still an expensive luxury, even now there are cheap glass bottles everywhere, but this concept can not be reversed in a day or two.

"I found that we seem to have fallen into Rokuro's trap, how do you feel that this glass is so similar to the original charcoal?" Qin Huaiyu suddenly said with a wry smile. At first, it was only used in cement factories, but later it was Li Su who invented honeycomb coal, which began to be popularized among the people. Now the promotion process of this glass is simply a copy of the charcoal.

"That's right, this is already Rokuro's old method, but it has been tried and tested, even if he knows that it is a pit, but I believe that there are still many people who are willing to jump down." Li Ke also said with a wry smile. Although there were many smart people like them, they didn't mind being calculated by Li Su, and like everyone else, they applauded the idea of this window.

"Hehe, compared to this window, His Royal Highness King Qi has a bigger hand." After everyone quieted down, Wang Zihao said again, "This thing is called a glass greenhouse, I don't know how it is, but according to His Royal Highness's letter, this is used to grow vegetables in winter, and everyone must have a deep understanding of the preciousness of fresh vegetables in winter!" ”

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, there was already a vegetable planting technology in winter, but it had to rely on hot spring water for irrigation, so it was very limited, and the yield was not high.

"There is such a thing?" Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and they discussed it one after another, although Li Su's reputation is guaranteed, but this glass greenhouse can grow vegetables in winter, which is really incredible, so they are a little skeptical.

"Zihao, can you tell me more specifically, although it sounds good about this glass greenhouse, but before we see the real thing, we can't make a judgment." Cheng Huailiang shouted loudly, and the others also nodded, now everything is speculation, it is better to see it with your own eyes.

"Cheng Gongzi, I'm really sorry for this, because the craftsmen sent by Dengzhou are still on the way, so I don't know very well, but at most half a month, the craftsmen will be able to reach Chang'an, and we will know by then." Wang Zihao said helplessly, the distance from Dengzhou to Chang'an is too far, and he has received the letter for a long time, but the craftsman still hasn't arrived.

"In that case, let's put this matter on hold for the time being, and wait for someone to come." Li Ke made a decision with a wave of his hand, and the others also nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's talk about the textile that has been prepared since last year, although this year's cotton can not get much in our hands, but listen to His Royal Highness, this industry is the top priority in the future, everyone also understands, now let me start, inform me about your preparations?" Speaking of textiles, Wang Zihao immediately became excited, last year the cotton was collected by the Ministry of Industry, but at the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Industry vigorously promoted cotton planting, they have planted a lot, although most of these cotton have to be handed over, but can also leave some, just for the future to do technology accumulation.
