Looking at Gu Zhong's flying back, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown and moved closer to Wang Zi'an.
"Zi'an, please don't act on impulse. My two paper-making workshops are not large in scale. If they are issued according to the original plan, I am afraid they will not be able to supply..."
Seeing that this guy was really thinking about this with worry, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but laugh.
He gently patted Li Shimin on the shoulder.
"Let it go, aren't there still three days left? The Wang family can't run around for three more days..."
"You mean?"
Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but flash, and he lowered his voice subconsciously.
Wang Zi'an looked at him and nodded gently.
"If my prediction is correct, the fish should have taken the bait by this time..."
…
Wang family.
In the study room.
Wang Hong, who had just returned from the Zheng family to express his condolences, was reading a book while leaning against the couch with his eyes slightly squinted.
There was a young maid kneeling at his feet, kneading his calf skillfully. Her movements were gentle, lest it affect his thoughts.
At this moment, the old housekeeper Wang Zhong gently opened the door and stood at the door with his hands hanging down.
"The head of the family——"
Wang Hong waved his hand to send the maid away, and then said calmly.
"How's it going? We've contacted those businessmen from the Western Regions. Have you found out their details..."
Wang Zhong took a step forward, bowed slightly and said excitedly.
"Master, we have found out - it is indeed a small caravan that sells colored glaze. They have cooperated with our Wang family before, but the scale has never been large. This time, I don't know what kind of shit luck they had."
, actually got a batch of peerless treasures——"
Having said this, Wang Zhong's tone couldn't help but feel slightly strange.
Although he only saw one sample, with his many years of experience, he could naturally tell at a glance that it was definitely a peerless treasure.
The workmanship and texture are absolutely unique!
Hearing the strangeness in his butler's voice, Wang Hong couldn't help but raise his head in surprise.
"Treasure?"
"This old slave has only seen one in his life - each one is priceless and can be used as a store treasure - it is said that there are a dozen of them in a set..."
Wang Zhong nodded vigorously.
Wang Hong immediately sat up straight.
"Go and talk to them, just say that our Wang family wants this batch of goods——"
After Wang Hong finished speaking, he couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw Wang Zhong standing there with a troubled expression and not moving.
"Why, how dare these small businessmen from the Western Regions not sell the Wang family's reputation?"
"No - it was Hejian County Prince who intervened..."
Wang Zhong was careful and secretly glanced at his family master.
"Li Xiaogong?"
Wang Hong glanced at Wang Zhong in front of him with some surprise.
He knew that Li Xiaogong had always liked collecting glaze products and was a regular customer of the Wang family. But Li Xiaogong only came here because he liked to buy and collect, and he had never heard of him getting involved in this business.
"Well, it is said that this businessman from the Western Regions, through unknown sources, directly presented a pair of peerless treasure-level glazed products to the Prince of Hejian, which won the favor of the Prince of Hejian——"
Having said this, Wang Zhong showed a bitter smile on his face.
"Just a short while ago this morning, the Prince of Hejian County had already brought several Western Region businessmen to his residence, and spread the word that he would help these Western Region businessmen hold an auction of glazed treasures, and find the treasures for these unparalleled treasures.
The real master..."
"Old man, troublesome!"
Wang Hong couldn't help but smashed several cases in front of him and cursed in a low voice.
However, despite the scolding, he had no good solution.
After all, that was the Prince of Hejian County——
"I heard that major glass workshops in Chang'an and some princes and nobles who like glass products have received invitations from the Prince of Hejian County, saying that a treasure appraisal and auction meeting will be held at his mansion in two days-"
Wang Hong:……
After pondering for a long time, Wang Hongcai slowly said.
"If the thing is really as good as you say, then you absolutely can't miss it. Please notify me and ask the people below to withdraw some of the funds. Be sure to take pictures of the thing -"
As the leader of the colored glaze workshop in Chang'an City, naturally such treasures cannot fall into the hands of others.
Besides, with my background in the Wang family, even if it were an auction, would it be considered a big deal if I swallowed a few glaze products?
Our position as the leader in glass products must not be shaken.
…
"Zian, are you trustworthy? The Wang family is not an easy generation. How could they be so foolish as to stand up and spend all their money to buy those things..."
Li Shimin, who shamelessly forced himself into Wang Zi'an's carriage, almost became worried.
"Look at how hopeless you are. You are still a wealthy and powerful businessman, the owner of thousands of voices. How can such a small business be so tense?"
Wang Zi'an leaned lazily on the soft cushions in the carriage and joked.
Li Shimin:......
Is this a small business?
This is a big business worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, and my annual tax revenue is not even that much!
Seeing Li Shimin's expression of despair, Wang Zian couldn't help but feel funny.
"We once had a saying that customers don't know what they want to buy until we tell them - whether the Wang family wants to buy it or how much they are willing to pay for it, they don't know, and they need us to tell them..."
Li Shimin:......
Are you telling me a ghost story?
Li Shimin wanted to ask again, but Wang Zi'an was no longer willing to pay attention to him, so he had to hold back all his questions.
Otherwise, what else can be done?
Do you want to listen to this bastard's sarcastic remarks and show off his superiority in front of you?
Returning to Wang Zi'an's house, Li Shimin worked hard and finally asked Wang Zi'an to draw a drawing of a horseshoe.
"Ah, that's it-"
Li Shimin looked at the drawings in front of him in disbelief.
Is this thing too crude?
Just such a small gadget can prevent the hoofs of war horses from being injured and save the court hundreds of thousands of dollars in military expenses every year?
"Well, that's it - otherwise, do you really want to make a batch of iron shoes for these animals?"
Li Shimin:......
This bitch, I am your father-in-law now. My father-in-law, can’t you change your bad habit of speaking in a weird and arrogant manner?
He originally wanted to teach this bitch a lesson, but as soon as his eyes glanced at the corners of his father's slightly raised mouth, he immediately gave in.
Forget it, I can't afford it.
Let’s go to the head office!
After asking about the usage in detail, Li Shimin put the blueprint in his arms, took Changsun Wuji with him, and hurried away.
After returning, without saying a word, he immediately summoned the blacksmith and worked hard, and in a short time, more than a dozen pairs of horses and iron hooves were made.
I couldn't wait to stand in front of the stable and watched with my own eyes the eunuch in charge of raising the horses nailing the horseshoes to the hooves one by one.
