"Wait."

The great eunuch Gao Yi was about to go out to make arrangements, and when he heard the call of Emperor Chongning, he immediately stopped and turned around, waiting respectfully.

"Tell him that I came to him just to ask him about the treasure mirror."

Gao Yi's heart sank, and he responded respectfully.

"This father-in-law. Do you know what Your Majesty has called me? ”

In the Cao Mansion, Cao Deli hurriedly came out and asked cautiously and fearfully.

Jin Zhong, who came to summon him, had his eyelids drooping slightly, and he didn't seem to hear it.

Cao Deli hurriedly slid out a silver ticket from his sleeve and put it into Jin Zhong's hand.

The facial features on Jin Zhong's face seemed to suddenly come to life, and he immediately smiled vividly and kindly, "Lord Cao, Your Majesty summoned you on the New Year's Day precisely for the matter of the treasure mirror. ”

Cao Deli was shocked, thinking of last night's incident, coupled with Xia Jingyun's background of Concubine De, and hurriedly said: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, but what did Concubine De Niangniang say to Your Majesty?" ”

The facial features on Jin Zhong's face died again.

Cao Deli sensibly took out another silver ticket.

Jin Zhong looked straight and said angrily: "Lord Cao, what are you doing, what do you think of our family, go to the palace quickly." ”

Cao Deli understood, the other party didn't dare to answer, so he didn't force it, and followed Jin Zhong towards the palace.

As a general eunuch, because of his duties, he has entered and exited the palace much more times than ordinary third-rank officials and even some second-rank officials, but there are few who are so nervous today.

On weekdays, reselling those used in the palace, although the oil and water are abundant, but it has become a routine, and His Majesty also knows that he does not dare to go too far, but this treasure mirror is a new thing, and there are too many places to do it with hands and feet.

Thinking of the heart-warming wealth and the amount of money he could fill his pocket, his heart was on fire, and he secretly made up his mind that he must take this thing into his own hands.

He forcibly collected his mind and began to think about how to persuade His Majesty to refuse Concubine De's pillow wind and let Xia Jingyun obediently hand over the secret recipe.

"Minister Cao Deli, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

"Let's be flat."

Emperor Chongning's voice was a little indifferent, so that people couldn't help but want to bow and worship, "The matter of the treasure mirror, can you get something?" ”

Cao Deli hurriedly said: "Weichen is incompetent, this method is quite complicated, it has failed to live up to Your Majesty's expectations, failed to solve Your Majesty's urgency, please surrender Your Majesty!" ”

"There is no need to surrender the sin, such a subtle thing is unheard of, and it is normal that you can't do it."

Emperor Chongning paused, "Then this matter will be put aside." ”

Cao Deli hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, there is a way to solve this difficulty!" ”

"Say."

"It's not natural, it's man-made. Since it is man-made, it has its own law. As far as Weichen knows, this method was created by Xia Jingyun Xia Gongzi, the righteous brother of Concubine De, who is both Mu Huang's grace and should be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and solve problems for His Majesty. It is advisable to ask him to offer this law and give him some compensation, and I think that no one who is loyal to His Majesty will refuse to do so. ”

Cao Deli was quite complacent about his words, as soon as this hat was buttoned down, Xia Jingyun was afraid that even the previous income would be gone.

Sure enough, His Majesty didn't seem to think about any compensation, and asked directly about the follow-up, "What about after taking the secret recipe?" How do you behave? ”

Cao Deli was excited, "Back to Your Majesty's words, Weichen has a plan in his heart, if he can get the method of production, there will be dozens of transparent glass in the prison, if he intensifies the cultivation of skilled craftsmen, several glass workshops are fully opened, the number of monthly output can be nearly 100 faces, and this number can be rapidly expanded, Weichen is confident that in the middle of next year, the monthly output of glass is thousands of faces." ”

"You just said how much money you expect to bring to me next year?"

Cao Deli said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, according to Weichen's calculations, next year, will be the supervisor can produce nearly 10,000 glass, the production of treasure mirrors is also nearly 10,000, sold at a higher price than the bronze mirror, will be marketed all over the world, according to ten taels of silver on one side, you can have an income of 100,000 taels of silver, remove labor, transshipment loss, etc., you can contribute nearly 50,000 taels of silver to Your Majesty in a year!" ”

The great eunuch Gao Yi silently closed his eyes.

Emperor Chongning remained silent, "How long can this thing be sold?" ”

"The minister has been in charge of the prison for nearly half a year, and he has been familiar with everything that will be the prison, so things, if it is natural, it is a priceless treasure, but if it is man-made, it is shocking at first glance, but the days are long, the world is used to it, just the ordinary use, so it can only be seen with the same amount as the bronze mirror, the benefit of the bronze mirror is geometric, this thing is worth geometry. In the opinion of the ministers, it is not bad to be able to get 200,000 taels of benefits before this thing is well-known all over the world. ”

After he finished speaking, he felt that it was not enough, so he added, "And this amount must be obtained by the ministers and generals as supervisors, and if you change to someone else, it will be difficult to succeed if you want to get a profit of 100,000 taels." ”

Emperor Chongning sighed sincerely, "I never thought that such a thing could have such huge profits through the hands of you and the general as a prisoner!" ”

Cao Deli was overjoyed, "The ability of the micro-ministers is used by His Majesty, and he dares not to worry about his Majesty's worries!" ”

"Good work."

Emperor Chongning looked at him and nodded with satisfaction, "Go down, go back and spend the New Year with your family, don't talk about this matter to outsiders." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen can save it! Wechen retires! ”

When Cao Deli left happily, Emperor Chongning chuckled, picked up a book, and read it silently.

——

At this time, Xia Jingyun was sitting in the Changle Palace, staring at a little kid.

"What's your name?"

"Oriental White."

"How old are you?"

"Six."

"You're a boy or a girl, huh?"

The kid rolled his eyes, "Are you a fool?" ”

Xia Jingyun:.

"Yu'er, don't be rude to your uncle!"

Concubine De came over with a smile, called Dongfang Bai's nickname, and scolded angrily.

The little kid shook his short legs and rushed towards Concubine De, hugged one leg in each arm, and plunged between Concubine De's legs, as if he was going back to his parents' house, calling out to his mother in a vague voice.

Concubine De picked him up, then sat down, put him on her lap, pointed at Xia Jingyun and said to her son: "Yu'er, this is the mother's brother, and it is also your uncle, you have to treat your uncle the same as your mother, you know?" ”

The little kid glanced at Xia Jingyun, didn't say anything, turned his head and put his arms around Concubine De's neck again, and buried his face in her chest.

Concubine De looked at Xia Jingyun apologetically, Xia Jingyun smiled, "The child is still young, and when we first met, it is not so easy to accept a stranger, sister, don't rush slowly." ”

Concubine De said: "Don't worry, I will definitely explain to him in detail what I should say, just teach him from a young age, let him know who is reliable, who should be thanked, but not the white-eyed wolf." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "With my sister here, I have never worried about this." And in the future, Yu'er will definitely be eloquent, heroic, and sensible, and she doesn't need to worry too much about her sister. ”

Concubine De shook her head slightly, "That's what I said, this kid, hey"

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Concubine De waved her hand, "It's okay, Sister doesn't want to get away with it, it's really fine, it's just that I'm just a little worried about his education." ”

Xia Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, "Children, take your time, Master and Sister are so knowledgeable and intelligent, and under the teaching of words and deeds, they will not be bad if they want to come to Biao'er." ”

Concubine De nodded, "I hope." ”

Xia Jingyun didn't say much, and accompanied Concubine De's mother and son to talk for a while, and then said goodbye and left.

As for anything like subduing children, I'm not in a hurry.

When he walked towards the outside of the palace, Xia Jingyun thought silently in his heart, if he listed the conditions like that, and he couldn't let Emperor Chongning relax, then this mirror plan could only be ruined.

If you want to do something next time, you have to hide it yourself and not let people find out, otherwise you will be so passive.

Just thinking about it, there was an anxious shout behind him, "Xia Gongzi, Xia Gongzi, please stay!" ”

Xia Jingyun turned around to look, Jin Zhongzheng ran out of breath, gasped for breath, and said, "Young Master Xia, Your Majesty has a call." ”.

Xia Jingyun's eyes lit up when he boarded.
