The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Huang Jin stood respectfully beside Tang Tingbai.

"Your Majesty, I just reported to Dongchang in King Xin's mansion."

"When King Xin learned that his youngest son was frozen to death at the gate of the Yamen of Dali Temple, he vomited several mouthfuls of blood angrily, and his condition became even more serious."

"And the sons of King Shin have threatened to seek revenge on you."

Oh?

Avenge??

Listening to Huang Jin's words, Tang listened to Bai and smiled, not paying attention to it at all.

Because although King Xin is a hero, he has fought on the battlefield for a lifetime, and his contributions are not small.

King Xin has spent most of his life on the battlefield, and he is only responsible for life, not education.

As a result, the dozen or so sons of King Shin are basically wastes and have achieved nothing.

Therefore, Tang Tingbai was not worried.

Because they don't have the guts, and they don't have the skills.

"Your Majesty, do you need a slave to arrange someone to teach King Xin's sons a lesson?"

"The minions also heard that they said a lot of rebellious things!"

Huang Jin said respectfully, but there was ruthlessness in his eyes.

Obviously, in Huang Jin's eyes, insulting Emperor Dayan deserves to die!

Tang Tingbai smiled, and he patted Huang Jin's shoulder lightly: "No need, although the sons of King Xin have said some rebellious things, King Xin has merit to my Dayan, I have to give King Xin some face, just pretend not to know about this matter!" ”

"Minions understand." Huang Jin nodded respectfully.

Tang Tingbai leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.

There have been so many things lately, one after another, that he even feels like he can't breathe.

Is this the pressure of being an emperor?

That's a lot of pressure, but then again, it's really cool.

Time flies, three days later.

Glass, red brick and cement tiles have been successfully developed by craftsmen and are of very good quality.

Tang Tingbai immediately arranged for the renovation of the Golden Dragon Palace, the Heart Cultivation Hall and the Xuanzheng Palace.

At the very least, turn all the wooden windows into glass.

This way, the temperature in the room can be even higher.

On this day, the Xuanzheng Palace, the early dynasty.

Hundreds of civil and military officials stood on both sides.

Prime Minister Su Zhen was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, after the statistics of the past few days, the heavy snow is relatively heavy only in Kyoto Prefecture, Henan, Hedong, Goryeo and the four northern prefectures, all of which are fine. ”

Tang Tingbai nodded: "Okay, it's okay, I can reduce the number of deaths." ”

After speaking, Tang Tingbai looked at Wang Changlin of the Ministry of Industry: "Wang Butang, how is the furnace of the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Wang Changlin immediately smiled: "Your Majesty, the stove of the Ministry of Industry has been built more than three million, and it has been distributed to the people's homes, to say that this stove is a good thing, not only can it be used for heating, but also for cooking, and even roasted sweet potatoes are not bad, the emperor is wise, this kind of convenience and benefit to the people, only you can invent it." ”

Tang Tingbai smiled and did not speak.

To be honest, he was really embarrassed to say that the stove was invented by himself, and that was just the advantage of his memories from his previous life.

At this time, Tang Tingbai looked at the old master of the Ministry of Rites: "Old master, how are you doing about the nine-year compulsory education?" ”

The old master immediately stood up, with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, the old minister personally supervises the construction of schools in various places, but maybe one billion taels of silver is not enough."

"Take Dayan Kyoto as an example, there are 900 counties in Dayan Kyoto, and if you build a school in each county, you need about 10,000 taels of silver, which is because the red brick tiles and glass are our Dayan's own things, and they are all cost prices, and 900 counties are 900 schools, which requires 9 million taels."

"My Dayan is now very large, Kyoto, Henan, Hebei, Hedong, Longyou, Shandong, Shannan, Jiannan, Jiangnan, Lingnan, this is my Dayan's original territory, and schools should be established here."

"These ten state capitals alone need as much as 100 million taels of silver."

Speaking of this, the old master smiled helplessly, and he took a deep breath.

"In addition, Western Xia, Dali, Annam, Ryukyu, Goryeo, and the four northern islands, these places also need 100 million taels of silver."

"There is also the newly occupied Tibetan chassis and grassland territory, and the population here is also quite large, at least 100 million is needed."

"Please pay attention, this just needs 300 million silver to build a school, not counting the recruitment of teachers, students' food, clothing, housing and transportation, one billion taels of silver really can't last long, maybe it can't even last three years, if it is nine years, Lao Chen feels a little difficult!"

What?

Listening to the old master's words, Tang was stunned.

Because he didn't expect that so much money would be needed.

When does education cost so much money?

However, Tang Tingbai also understood that what the old master said was the truth.

If you calculate it in this way, a billion taels of silver may seem like a lot, but it really doesn't seem to take long.

It seems that the top priority now is to make money.

Make lots and lots of money, otherwise it will not be enough.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Tingbai looked at Prime Minister Su Zhen: "Prime Minister, I heard that you traveled the world when you were young, do you have any understanding of the Persian Empire?" ”

Su Zhen nodded immediately, with a hint of anger on his face.

"Back to the emperor, the Persian Empire is very rich, and the army of the Persian Empire is also very strong, the commerce there is developed, and it is an important transportation artery, if I want to go to the Roman Empire to do business, I must pass through Persia, but the Persian Empire will never let the merchants of Dayan pass, they will buy the goods of the merchants of Dayan, and then sell them to the Roman Empire at three times the price."

"After that, the caravan of the Roman Empire wants to come to my Dayan to trade goods, and the Persian Empire will also stop the caravan of the Roman Empire, buy the goods of the Roman Empire in the same way, and then sell them to us Dayan at a high price, they are making the difference from the middle, it is really shameless."

"When he was young, he traveled all over the world, and lived in Persia for two years, and the people there were very wealthy, and almost everyone was a businessman, and they were very business-minded, and they liked to compare, and they were especially fond of luxurious things, as if they could make them feel fulfilled."

Oh?

Comparisons?

Tang listened to Bai and smiled, he already had an idea.

Ideas for making money.

Next, the civil and military officials discussed national affairs again and left.

And retreat to the back.

Tang Tingbai personally went to the place where the palace craftsmen worked.

He went directly to the glass factory and personally instructed the craftsmen to burn a batch of glass gems and tens of thousands of exquisite glass mirrors.

These glass mirrors are more than one person tall and one meter wide.

Don Tingbai ordered the carpenter to make a frame for the mirror.

When the frame was ready, the silversmith was ordered to wrap the silver in wood and set it with glass gems.

The whole mirror looks extremely beautiful and luxurious.

Everything is done, it's been half a month later.

These things are simple to say, and Tang Tingbai only knows some theoretical knowledge.

During this period, it is necessary to conduct continuous experimentation.

For example, glass gemstones, red, blue, green, and so on.

The tuning of these colors is subject to experimentation.

On this day, the Golden Dragon Palace.

Tang Tingbai sat on the soft sofa, he smiled and took Jia Luo's hand: "Daughter-in-law, I want to give you a gift today, you must like it." ”

Gift?

Jia Luo was stunned: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't lack anything, and besides, the court doesn't have much money now, so don't spend money indiscriminately, the concubines don't need any gifts." ”

Tang Tingbai smiled, and touched Jia Luo's little nose dotingly, but his heart was warm.

Because this stupid girl even knows how to save him money.

Tang Tingbai took Jia Luo's little hand: "Silly girl, the things I gave you are very cheap, but you must like them." ”

As he spoke, Tang Tingbai waved his hand.

Huang Jin immediately walked in with something one meter eight high and one meter two wide.

Also, this thing is covered with a red cloth.

"Silly girl, go open it and see if you like it?" Tang Tingbai laughed.

At this moment, Jia Luo's face was also full of curiosity.

Curiously, Garo pulled back the red cloth, and was greeted by a large mirror.

The frames are encrusted with a variety of sparkling glass gemstones.

Even the silver pattern on the frame is so beautiful, and it looks finely made.

Garo was stunned.

It was the first time she had seen such a clear mirror.

You must know that in the past, Dayan basically used a copper mirror, which looked very vague, and he could vaguely see the general appearance.

Garo looked at herself in the mirror, and for the first time, she looked at herself carefully.

Even the long eyelashes on the eyes can be seen clearly!

Just the first time she saw the mirror, she loved it from the bottom of her heart.

Tang Tingbai stood up with a smile and hugged Jia Luo's waist: "Silly girl, do you like it?" ”

Jia Luo nodded vigorously: "Well, the concubine likes it very much, thank you emperor!" ”

"Silly girl, then I ask you, if you see such a beautiful mirror, how much do you think is appropriate?" Tang Tingbai laughed.

"Huh? The emperor's mirror is not cheap at first glance, it is estimated to cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, right? It's too expensive, the concubine still doesn't want it, Dayan has no money now, and besides, this mirror is not a necessity, the concubine should save you some money! Garo hurriedly spoke.

She really wanted to help Tang Tingbai.

Tang Tingbai smiled and scratched Jia Luo's little nose again: "Silly girl, you don't know my earning ability, this mirror is very cheap, you don't need tens of thousands of taels." ”

In fact, the cost of this mirror is only three taels of silver.

It is not difficult to fire mirrors, nor is it difficult to make frames out of wood, and the most important thing is to spend on manual and silver-wrapped frames.

Tang Tingbai bet that as long as she is a woman, there is no one who does not like this beautiful mirror.

Tang Tingbai looked at the fat eunuch Huang Jin beside him: "Huang Jin, you go out of the palace and go to inform the Persian princess Gongsun Li, and say that I will see her tomorrow......"
