After a morning fuss, Dugu Jiu lost his shadow again, and Li Mu did not go to find him. Although he knew it was a bit too much, he was a brother after all. If he apologized, it would be even more strange. It would be better to do nothing.

Li Siwen was also driven away by Li Mu. He came to Jingdongji as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, and his house had not yet entered. Li Zhen was his elder brother, and now he stayed alone in Chang'an to support the British Duke's Mansion. Since he was back from "family leave", how could he not meet? However, Li Siwen was a little unhappy. He was a little dissatisfied with his elder brother Li Zhen since childhood because of his temperament and nature. The two brothers did not say a few words before.

But he still went back. After all, he hadn't seen each other for many days. After a series of training, Li Siwen is no longer Li Siwen of the past, and he has become somewhat mature.

Li Mu was left alone, but he still couldn't get idle. He asked Ergou to find a few helpers, cleaned the snow in the yard, then set up the guys who made glass again and began to tinker with the glass.

When Li Mu was fine in his previous life, he often saw a plot similar to this. The protagonist wanted to carry out economic reforms. When building an economy, he started with currency and used all kinds of messy means, cheating or forcing to make everyone accept paper money or silver notes. In short, it was to create a currency and then make a lot of money by manipulating the market.

When Li Mu was reading it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, he was writing it. The author wrote it as much as he wanted, without considering rationalization at all. But when it was his turn to travel through time, Li Mu found that this path didn't work. It was not that there was something wrong with other people's methods, but his own problems. His knowledge of finance is basically at the level of reading news. He can't even figure out what stock trading is going on. How can he manipulate the market?

He was able to be free and easy in the Tang Dynasty because of his system and knowledge far beyond the Tang Dynasty's natives. For some things, he knew what the future would be. For example, he now knew that the war god of the Tang Dynasty was Li Jing. From the time after Li Shimin ascended the throne to Li Jing's death, all the wars that Li Jing participated in were invincible. Therefore, it is necessary to hold this thick leg. Even if he couldn't hold it, at least he could not offend it.

After Li Jing, Li Ji's world was Li Ji. Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi established great martial arts with the assistance of Li Ji. At the same time, he also relied on Li Ji's magic needle to defeat Changsun Wuji, who had ambitions in the early stage of ascension. However, because of the Changsun family's loss of power, the foreshadowing of Wu Zetian's confusion of the Tang Dynasty was laid.

These grasps of the direction of history are the magic weapons that Li Mu can stand invincible when he chooses a side station.

However, he didn't know anything like the natives of the Tang Dynasty, such as finance. He was even worse than the prime ministers who planned the country, such as Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. If he participated in it, he might not be able to gain the upper hand and control the situation. He might mess up the matter or make wedding dresses for others.

Li Mu's choice is to stay away from such useless things. But this does not mean that he does nothing, such as the glass chips he is making now. This thing, due to technical barriers, has become an excellent choice for high-value currency. Similar to checks, as long as they can guarantee unlimited redemption, it has the function of currency.

And it is very simple to operate.

Li Mu's plan is like this: glass chips are only issued at the "Sihai Gambling House" in Chang'an City. In other words, if you want to get glass chips, you can only exchange money at the "Sihai Gambling House" in Chang'an City. There is only one, and there is no semicolon. However, it can be redeemed at the "Sihai Gambling House" in other cities.

For example, a businessman in Chang'an City wanted to go to Luoyang City to purchase a batch of goods. Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to buy a truck of goods, he had to carry at least half a truck of money. Walking on the road with so much money, if he got news for the thief, he might be at risk of being robbed.

But with glass chips, he can first exchange all his money for glass chips in Chang'an City, and the chips have different amounts. A car of copper coins can only be only three or five glass chips, and can be carried closely. The money is not exposed, and the safety is greatly improved.

When he arrived in Luoyang City and bought goods, he could exchange money for glass chips at the "Sihai Gambling House" in Luoyang City. Due to the incommensurable nature of glass chips, there is no need to worry about someone making a false claim.

As for loss, it’s all right. After all, even if you don’t change it to a bargaining chip, isn’t it going to be lost in vain if you lose money?

In order to completely eliminate the possibility of being imitated, Li Mu made a big move this time. He added all the colors of [glass dye] he could buy in the system to the overall transparent glass chips, making it into extremely fine powder and mixing it into the glass. Under normal circumstances, it is invisible. Only when facing the light source at a certain angle can it reflect colorful colors, like stars.

This kind of craft, not to mention in the Tang Dynasty, was even in Li Mu's previous life, which was also an effect that could only be produced by high-end glass factories. If Li Mu had no system in his body, it would be impossible to produce it. The craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty could not have been created by the limitations of the times.

As for the amount represented by glass chips, Li Mu has thought about it after some deep thought.

First of all, glass, that is, glass. It was regarded as a gem in the Tang Dynasty. In other words, it is very valuable in itself. If the quota is set too low, it is very likely that someone will use money to exchange for glass and take it home as a treasure. Therefore, it is destined that the lower limit of the quota of glass chips must exceed the value of the glass itself.

Secondly, if the amount is set too low, it is not necessary to exist. If a glass chip is equal to 500 cents, then what should I do with glass chips? It is better to take a piece of silver and not save much weight and volume.

After Li Mu thought about it, the minimum amount of the "city round" chips set was ten jin coins. If ten jin coins were all copper coins, it would be the amount of a sack, and it would be very inconvenient to carry them. If it was replaced with silver, it would be a pound of weight, which was far less than the size of a glass chip in a square meter. One or two golds could be compared with it, but the amount of gold was small. After all, ordinary families might not have gold even if they were rich. On the front, there was the word "twice round" written in "money body", and on the back was a cute panda. At this time, how could Li Mu forget his godson?

After determining the minimum amount, it will be easier to deal with. Above ten cents of ten cents is Baiguan, and he sets it to be a rectangle with a bank card size in his previous life and chopsticks thick. On the front, there are the words "Bai Guan" written in "Qian Yi" and the back is the four big words "Bai Guan" written in "Qian Yi", and on the back is the four big words "Bai Guan" size. He sets it to be the size of a mobile phone in his previous life, about four inches long and more than two inches wide, and the thickness is slightly thicker than "Bai Guan". Holding it in his hand is almost like holding a five-inch screen mobile phone. On the front, there are still the words "Qian Yi" written in "Qian Yi", and on the back are the four big words "Full fortune".

As for "Wanguan", he has not made it for the time being because it cannot be used. With the current consumption level, thousands of coins are already the limit. Even if it is used in business, there are few orders worth more than ten thousand coins. Even if there is a transaction of ten thousand coins, in the short term, it will inevitably be felt that few people dare to trade with glass chips. For such a large business, most people will not show up or show off their eagles.

Li Mu was not in a hurry. According to the current development speed of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it will not take long to make a huge amount of glass chips useful, and it will take time to do it sooner or later.

Throughout the day, Li Mu made a total of 10,000 "ten stakes", 100 "ten stakes", 100 "ten stakes", and a total of 300,000 chips. Although these are not many, they are enough for opening. With the support of the system, it doesn't take much time to make glass chips. When they are missing, they are completely time to make them again.

Li Mu ordered Ergou to find a wooden box, put the glass chips in, lock it with a big lock, and carried it to the "Sihai Gambling House".

The chips are ready, and the next thing is the gambling tools.

The folk gambling tools in the Tang Dynasty were still in a very poor stage. The most common one was the Ye Zi brand that was eliminated by Li Mu in mahjong. With the popularity of mahjong, the Ye Zi brand has become increasingly declining and still occupying a part of the market is that the price of mahjong is too expensive. A set of ordinary mahjong also costs a lot of money. Ordinary people are reluctant to buy it, so they can only continue to play Ye Zi brand.

But it is said that there is already mahjong made of dried with clay lettering, but Li Mu hasn't seen it with his own eyes.

Apart from the Ye Zi Card, there are no serious gambling tools among the people. Many people gamble, but they still stay at the stage of guessing stones or guessing that pregnant women next door give birth to boys and girls.

The opening of Sihai Gambling House will surely change all this.

At night, Li Mu fought at night. Of course, he was not studying, but drawing manuscripts of gambling tools. As a game designer, his sketching skills are still good. Pai Jiu and dice are naturally indispensable. He also created poker, but he only performed "localization" and replaced poker jqk with Zi, Bo, Gong, and big kings with emperors and queens. The gameplay was also restricted, one by one, and it was not better than the cards of the emperor and queens. As for the four cards that could "explode" the kings, Li Mu simply did not add them.

With the passion to contribute to the entertainment industry of Datang, Li Mu worked for half a night. The next morning, he rode straight to the work department and gathered all the idle "technician" carpenters, and set up five sets for each person.

Poker is made of split thin bamboo strips. The current papermaking technology cannot create thick cardboard that feels like poker in the past life.

All the carpenters took the order and Li Mu started to be bored again. He came out of the Ministry of Works, and Li Mu sat bored on the steps in a daze, and he really couldn't imagine what to do.

Dugu Jiu has never shown up since yesterday morning. It took Li Siwen a day or two to go home. Even though he had a fair relationship with Li Zhen, he still loved Li Zhen's son very much and brought him a lot of things.

Li Chongyi had been away for three days. Li Mu stood up, looked at the south, and thought to himself that it was snowing, and he didn't know if it was delayed.

Sighing, Li Mu came down from the steps and planned to go home for dinner. As soon as he got on the horse, he suddenly saw someone coming not far away. When he looked closely, it turned out to be Ma Zhou. Li Mu felt a sudden thump in his heart, and quickly urged the horse to go over and asked, "Why are you back? Something happened? Where is my brother?"

When Ma Zhou saw Li Mu on the horse, he suddenly bent his knees and knelt on the ground. Li Mu quickly got off the horse and pulled him up, and asked, "What the hell is going on? Are my brothers dead or alive?"

"Principal, your brother is fine, the mission is fine, it's me, I..." Ma Zhou was a little embarrassed, but he knew that he couldn't escape, so he told all the causes and consequences.

After Ma Zhou finished speaking, he felt ashamed and did not dare to look up at Li Mu. He knelt down again and said, "The student failed the principal's trust and was ashamed of himself. He allowed the principal to punish him without complaints. He only hoped to beg for his life, and there was still an old mother at home."

"Oh!" Li Mu sighed, helped Ma Zhou up, and said, "I don't blame you for sending a letter to General Chang He. After all, you have received his kindness deeply, and it is reasonable to repay him. However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot keep you anymore. Go back to General Chang He's mansion. I will think that nothing has happened until this matter."

Ma Zhou shed tears, kowtowed to Li Mu, and said, "The student begged without any face and thanked the principal for his teaching."

Li Mu smiled, turned over the horse, and rushed over from around the horse.

Li Mu was not surprised at all about what Ma Zhou did. He asked Ma Zhou to go with him, just as Wang Pu guessed, and wanted to pass the news to Li Shimin through the channel of General Chang He so that he could rest assured.

But who is the other person who pretends to be a businessman?

Ma Zhou did not conceal the situation on that day and told Li Mu all the time. This made Li Mu confused. In addition to Ma Zhou, there were people trying to convey messages. Who was he and who did he convey messages?

Unfortunately, this person had been strangled to death by Li Chongyi, and all the information was interrupted, otherwise Li Mu would have tried his best to pry open his mouth.

The enemy is not scary, what is scary is that he does not know who the enemy is. Li Mu is confident in dealing with all situations, but it is easy to avoid hidden arrows on open guns, and an enemy hidden in the dark must be taken seriously.

Do you want to set up your own intelligence organization?

The Jinyiwei has been sent to Zhenla Kingdom for business. If he has another intelligence organization, should he build an Eastern Factory?

Li Mu thought about it for a while and maybe it was not impossible. Now in Chang'an City, there is a factory in Xicheng and a factory in Dongcheng. Xicheng Factory produces daily necessities, and Dongcheng Factory plans to be used as an arsenal. Logically speaking, it is considered a confidential place. It is natural to need some guards.

Xicheng Factory, referred to as Xichang. Dongcheng Factory, referred to as Dongchang.

Very reasonable!

Li Mu's lips raised up. As a time traveler, he wanted to do something. If he didn't do something, he was still called a time traveler? Li Mu made up his mind and went home to write a memorial and handed it over. He also took this opportunity to show off his newly learned "money style" calligraphy, scare Li Shimin, and let him see the learning speed of geniuses.
Chapter completed!
