Chapter six hundred and sixteen seven-color glass ball
"Uncle, is the soup ready?"
As soon as Xiaohuan poked her head out of the kitchen, Li Yi pushed her back.
"I have to wait for another quarter of an hour, okay, I'll call you."
Ruyi likes to drink the sour and sweet soup from the Food Bureau. She went to learn it last time and now it is an indispensable dish on the dining table at home every day.
The little maid was guarding the door, and her uncle was making soup for the young lady inside. In fact, she wanted to go in and help, but her uncle wouldn't let her, even if she wanted to drink secretly. Her uncle was getting better and better towards her these days.
However, my uncle was also very kind to Xiao Huan and the second young lady. The little maid raised her wrist and looked at the colorful bracelets on her wrist. Every time the maids in the house saw it, their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
Woolen cloth……
…
Maybe it was because he helped the old emperor make a lot of money last time, but he never said anything about the fact that he was controlling the overall situation of the college at home these days.
In the past few days, Li Yi focused mainly on the glass, no, on the colored glaze.
Because sand contains metal elements, most of the fired glazes are colored, while transparent ones are more difficult to prepare, and a lot of it depends on luck.
Therefore, the colorless glazed Guanyin statue sold to the old monk Tanyin for 8,000 taels is not expensive at all. If you don't have a relationship with him and sell it to Fahua Temple, you can't touch it for less than 20,000 taels.
I originally thought about selling the two Fahua Temples at a high price, but then I thought about it and decided not to do so. It would be a bit unethical. In two years, we won’t even be friends. Although what will happen here in two years will be very important.
He doesn't have much influence, but being resented by monks and Taoists all over the world, chanting sutras and cursing you all day long, makes me shudder when I think about it.
This business is too risky. Our family is a small temple and cannot withstand such a big storm, so we have to recruit at least two reliable partners. The Wang family is one, but it is not very safe. The safest thing is to fall into the eyes of money.
The old emperor also wooed him over. He had been jealous of the money from the families of Kyoto officials and powerful people for a long time, and he was not afraid of offending others. He was definitely a good partner worthy of cooperation.
Although in this calculation, the family will make a lot less money, but in the future, there will be no need to be criticized or resented, and the risk is almost zero, so it is still very cost-effective.
This matter should not be rushed, but should be planned step by step. While benefiting the powerful elite in Kyoto, we should strive to maximize the benefits and take care of the Cui family...
Lao Fang walked to the door and said, "Uncle, that man named Wang is here again."
…
"Brother Li." Wang Yong walked in from outside, cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Brother Wang, you're welcome. Please sit down."
Just as he was thinking about the affairs of the Wang family, Wang Yong came over. After Xiaohuan brought the tea, the two of them did not exchange a few words, and Wang Yong got to the point.
Wang Yong raised his head and said: "My father asked me to come here this time. He wanted to ask about the "big business" that Brother Li mentioned last time..."
Although the two of them reached a consensus on the big deal last time, in fact, until now, Wang Yong still doesn't know what the big deal is.
It was only out of his trust in County Uncle Li's ability and the Wang family's purpose of being blind to money that he never asked.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Brother Wang, even if you don't ask, I will tell you today. Brother Wang, please wait a moment. I'll be right back."
"Lao Fang, come here with me." Li Yi walked out of the door and said to Lao Fang who was leaning against the wall and eavesdropping.
Wang Yong picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a look of doubt on his face, but it quickly disappeared.
Not long after, he saw County Uncle Li and the big man walking in carrying several large and small boxes.
Lao Fang walked out and closed the door.
"Brother Li, what is this?"
Li Yi casually handed over a square box and said, "Brother Wang, you will know after you open it."
Wang Yong took the box, which was surprisingly heavy. He opened the lid, and his expression widened immediately after he was startled.
I saw a spherical object the size of a fist in the box. It was colorful and slightly swaying, and there was a sparkle in it. As the eldest son of the prince, he had seen countless treasures, so he recognized what it was at a glance.
"Liu Li!"
He looked up at Li Yi and asked in disbelief: "Liu Li is a natural thing. It is the first of the five famous weapons and one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism. It is extremely rare in ordinary times. Where did Brother Li get this Liu Li?"
?”
Li Yi did not answer, but asked with a smile: "Brother Wang, how much silver is this glass ball worth?"
Wang Yong shook his head and said: "Liu glaze is extremely rare, and one with such a regular shape is even more rare. Once it leaks out, it will be snatched up by countless people, especially the Buddhists, who will definitely not let it go. The value is really difficult to estimate.
However, if it is left to my Wang family to run it, we can at least sell this amount."
Wang Yong stretched out a finger.
"Ten thousand taels."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Wang will take a look at the other things first."
Wang Yong nodded, closed the box, put it away carefully, and opened a box again.
In an instant, he was almost blinded by the color overflowing from the box.
Another glass ball! A glass ball with a different color!
Wang Yong raised his head fiercely and glanced at Li Yi. He seemed to realize something. After putting the box away, he opened another one.
This time, the look of shock on his face could no longer be suppressed.
Putting down the box, he reached for another one...
…
…
"Seven..."
The expression on Wang Yong's face was a bit demented. There were seven, seven glazed balls, seven glazed balls of different colors...
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked: "Brother Li, where did you get these things?"
Li Yi looked at him and asked again: "Brother Wang, how much money do you think these glazed balls are worth?"
Wang Yong was startled and said: "Things are rare and valuable. If there are too many treasures, the value will be greatly reduced. If these glass balls are thrown out at once, the value will be greatly affected."
Li Yi smiled, took out the eighth one from a box, weighed it in his hands, and said: "If there are only seven such colored glaze balls in the world, gathering seven colored glaze balls can
What about summoning the dragon?"
"What?" Wang Yong looked confused.
Snapped!
He let go of his hand, and the glass ball fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Wang Yong's expression changed drastically, he stood up quickly and said, "Brother Li, what are you doing?"
Li Yi looked at him and said, "There are only seven."
Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, then slowly sat down, took a deep breath, and said, "How much colored glaze does Brother Li have?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "I accidentally dug up a glass mine. I can get as much as I want."
Wang Yong was stunned again. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at him and said, "Brother Li should know that if a large amount of Liuli is sold at one time, Liuli will lose its original value. Moreover, if the amount of Liuli increases in the future,
We will immediately become a target."
"It's not us." Li Yi shook his head and said, "It's you."
He looked at Wang Yong and said: "The Li family will not come forward in this matter. The glass was brought by wealthy businessmen from other countries. The Wang family bought it at a high price and held a charity sale in Kyoto. Forty percent of the proceeds will be donated to the national treasury."
Used to provide disaster relief and help the people..."
"Will Your Majesty also be involved in this matter?" Wang Yong asked with a solemn expression.
Li Yi thought for a while and nodded.
"What percentage does the Wang family account for?" he asked again.
"Two percent." Li Yi said simply.
