Chapter 542
Li Mu glanced at Li Yuan and smiled and said, "If the Supreme Emperor likes it, wait for the spring to change the windows of heaven and earth into glass. A little money can still be afforded by a kid."
"No need." Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I am a handful of old bones. It's already time to be greedy for pleasure. What's the difference between glazed glass or glazed glass?"
"That's not possible." Li Mu said seriously: "From filial piety, you are the elders, and you should enjoy the respect of the younger generation. In terms of power, the most powerful person in the world is the emperor, right? You are the emperor's father, the most powerful person in the world, and you should enjoy it."
This made Li Yuan amuse himself, pointed at Li Mu, and said, "You are just this mouth. In front of Shimin, you won't say that."
"I also say the same thing in front of anyone, who doesn't know that Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, is the most upright person in the world?"
"Don't humiliate such good words. If you are a straightforward person, the whole world will be a straightforward person." Li Yuan smiled and glanced at Li Yourong who was making tea in the yard. He seemed to be careless: "Li Mu, there is something in my heart recently. I often think of it. It makes me unable to eat or sleep well. Is there any way to solve my problems?"
Li Mu patted his chest and said, "The Supreme Emperor just told me to go up the mountain of swords and go down the sea of fire, and I, Li Mu, would like to go!"
"It's not that serious." Li Yuan pointed to Li Yourong and said, "My granddaughter is already at the age to get married. You know her situation, it's hard to marry. Think of a way to help her find a good husband."
Li Mu was shocked and immediately said, "The Supreme Emperor, the ugly words are ahead. Don't blame me for not giving face. I will never marry her!"
"You?" Li Yuan sneered and said, "You think you are a treasure, but I don't even look down on me. You have many wives and concubines. How can my granddaughter be a baby? If you want to marry, you will be able to divorce your women. I have to do it because you are still in love with me, so I can only marry you."
Li Mu let out a long sigh and exaggeratedly said, "Fortunately I got married, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hide."
"Do you kid deserve a beating?" Li Yuan glared and said, "She is my granddaughter, the eldest princess! I have to pay attention to this matter to you. If you don't take it seriously, I won't beat you!"
"Okay, old man, just leave it to me..." Suddenly Li Mu remembered something and smiled: "Old man, I have it! I suddenly thought of a good idea!"
"What's the idea?"
Li Mu laughed and said, "Old man, what are the many young talents?"
Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "You Dao is a general from Shanxi and a prime minister from Shandong. I can't find a reckless man for my granddaughter, so it's the best thing to be a talented man from Shandong!"
"Oh," Li Mu curled his lips and said, "You are old and confused, are you? What's the best thing about Shandong's talented men? The five surnames Qi Wang are very tall and look down on anyone. The county mainly married to Shandong. Think about it, it's so far away from Chang'an and so far away from you. Except for what's the matter, being bullied. When the news comes back, it's too late!"
Li Yuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Your boy's analysis makes sense. My granddaughter cannot marry too far, so it's best to hire a wife! As long as he has a good character and is filial, I can give you any dowry he wants!"
...
Li Mu left Li Yuan and walked back to his yard. Now there are a few more people in the yard, all of which were recruited in the past few days. Li Mu knew that the people he recruited could not be guaranteed to be the suspense of any force, but there was nothing he could do about this. Who made him have no foundation for his own? In order to make up for this shortcoming, Li Mu took a random and short-term approach. Every time he recruited, it would take at most one month, so that even if he leaked the secret, they would not know too much.
"Owner!"
As soon as Li Mu entered the yard, Li Zhien jumped out, pinched an account book in his hand, and threw himself into Li Mu's arms. Li Mu caught her, put her down after a while, and said, "What's wrong? So happy?"
"Master, look at it," Li Zhien handed the account book to Li Mu, saying: "This is the account book that deals with the tributes of Zhenla Kingdom, and sold more than 100,000 yuan!"
"So many?" Li Mu was really shocked. He intercepted the tributes of the Zhenla Kingdom mission. He left the elephant and rhino. The palace musicians sent the remaining coconut bamboo, agarwood, yellow wax, cardamom, purple stems, fengzi oil, etc., which was useless to keep, so he asked Li Zhien to take it to the East City and sell it to the merchant. He thought it was only tens of thousands of yuan, but he did not expect it to double the price.
"Master, this is because we don't have these things in the Tang Dynasty. They are rare things, so they are sold at high prices." She snorted and said, "The fat man who acquired them wants to cheat me on the price, but who am I? I am your second wife. I have revealed my identity. He was afraid immediately, so he quickly changed the offer to me, Humph!"
"Yoyo," Li Mu pinched Li Zhien's face and said, "Look at your appearance as a fake tiger, what's so proud of you?"
"Just proud," Li Zhien took the account book back and asked, "Husband, can you not save this money?"
"Why, do you want to keep a small vault?"
Li Zhien shook his head and said, "It's not my small treasury, it's the small treasury at home." Suddenly, her expression became very serious and said, "Master, husband, I want to tell you very seriously that our family has no money now."
"What a joke!" Li Mu said speechlessly: "The theater, gambling shop, Feng Qiuhuang, who will make money every day? I don't have money, who has money?"
"It's true that you're going to make money every day, but you're going to have a lot of money out," Li Zhien pouted, "Yesterday Gongsun Kang came to me and said that the repair of the alley in Chang'an City was overspent, and 100,000 guan was not enough, and it cost 150,000 guan. There is also the second phase of the valley project, and what you told him, renovating the empty house in Chang'an City and building the Dongcheng factory... It's all the industries of the court, but the ones who pay for money are all our families! Even if you're going to make money every day, you can't stand it. So I discussed with my wife. In the future," Li Zhien pursed his lips and said, "The family has to keep money. Nothing else. The child will be born in nine months."
"Uh..." Li Mu suddenly felt a little ashamed. To be honest, he had never thought about this, because he had no worries in this regard. He subconsciously felt that the money of the Tang Dynasty was too easy to make. Even if it was spent, it would be fine now. However, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien did not have the confidence of him. They were not time travelers, so it was very normal to have such worries.
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Feng Qiuhuang's income in the future, you don't need to take it out again. You two can do whatever you want, but our family can't keep the money this time."
"Why?" Lee Ji-eun pouted.
"This is the money for intercepting the tribute and selling it. If we spend it, if the censor finds out and sues us, we will be unreasonable!"
"Oh oh oh," Li Zhien suddenly realized that she could understand this reason. Although money is a good thing, if Li Mu is passive, it would definitely not be the result she wanted to see.
Li Zhien nodded obediently and said, "Then when Gongsun Kang comes again tomorrow, I will let him take the money away."
"That's not OK," Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "You just reminded me that why are we all paying for money? We are not a big shot. Don't worry about it for now. I have other uses of this money!"
"What's the use? Didn't it mean that it can't be spent?"
"I want to change the windows for Your Majesty!" Li Mushen said in a daze, but Li Zhien was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.
...
After dinner, Li Mu came to the studio. As soon as the door was closed, the world became quiet.
When he was busy in the studio, under normal circumstances, neither Li Zhien nor Bai Qiaoqiao would disturb him.
Li Mu moved his muscles and put on his "work clothes" made of cowhide. This thing can withstand the iron cutting of iron, and can also prevent scratches and scratches, taking into account both protection and flexibility.
He wants to make a batch of glass, but this is not the point. The point is that he wants to make a process, which is not afraid of people's sight, but also makes people unable to see anything. The most important thing is that he wants people to see that glass is burned with silver. Only in this way can he equate glass and silver and maintain the luxury status of silver.
This is a bit difficult, because silver cannot be used to burn glass. Even if it is a trick, it cannot be changed and cannot be realized at all.
But for Li Mu, who has the system, it is not necessarily impossible.
He had tried it as early as the Turkic camp. The system can turn real money into "money" in the system, and the "money" in the system can be exchanged for real money. Then, if he wants people to think that burning glass requires silver, he only needs to pour the silver into the stove during the burning process and then let the silver disappear, which can achieve this goal.
But now there is a problem: it is easy to put silver into the stove, but after silver is heated, it will definitely be very hot. And the high temperature that is enough to melt the sand will definitely melt the silver. Then it will turn into a liquid metal, and the temperature can be imagined.
Can redemption be completed in high temperatures? Will it look natural?
This is the experiment Li Mu is going to do today. If everything goes well, he will master a profitable way to "launder" money! As long as glass is used as a window, any individual will like it. As long as people see the benefits of glass, no matter how expensive it is, someone will pay.
At that time, the sand becomes glass, and the glass is linked to silver, which is equivalent to digging sand and turning it into money. This is not just a huge profit, but a huge profit without a huge profit!
While thinking happily, Li Mu started to do it. He first bought a bunch of "glass auxiliary material bags" from the system and put it aside for later use. Then he threw the river sand into the stove with a shovel. When the temperature was almost done, he threw the "glass auxiliary material bag" into it in proportion. After all the substances in the auxiliary material bag were integrated into the high-temperature sand, Li Mu exchanged 100 taels of silver from the system and threw them all in.
"Don't burn me to death!"
