Wang Yong's expression changed. He thought for a long time and said, "Brother Li, I'm really sorry. Wang can't make the decision on this matter. He needs to go back and ask his father for instructions."
"There's no rush." Li Yi waved his hand and said.
"This matter is of great importance. I'm going back now!" Wang Yong stood up, walked two steps, then came back, pointed to the box on the table and asked: "Can Wang finish reading these?"
"Brother Wang, do whatever you want."
Wang Yong nodded, with excitement on his face. He opened a box again, and his face immediately glowed with light.
Then the second, the third...
After a moment, he turned around, pointed at the pile of boxes and asked Li Yidao: "These glazed chopsticks, glazed cups, glazed jewelry..."
Li Yi nodded: "They are all dug out of the mine."
"This too?"
Wang Yong pointed to the last brocade box, which contained a statue of a woman about two feet high, vivid and lifelike.
"This is the same." Li Yi nodded again: "It's so strange, how come there is everything in this glass mine..."
…
"Wang takes his leave!"
Wang Yong looked excited, hugged Li Yi, and left in a hurry without saying anything else.
Li Yi stood up from the chair and looked at the pile of glass fragments on the ground. The corners of his mouth twitched and a look of extreme pain appeared on his face.
"Ten thousand taels..."
Impulsive, impulsive...
"Old Fang, take these fragments back quickly, burn them and reuse them..."
After hearing the sound, Lao Fang strode into the door, and soon a scream came from the room: "Who the hell did this? Is it the guy named Wang? I already knew he was not a good person."
, Stop him back now and pay for it, uncle..., Uncle, don't stop me..."
"Forget it, forget it, isn't it just a glass ball? If it breaks, it will break. They are guests. This is not good. It makes us look stingy..."
“It’s worth a lot of money!”
"Forget it, money comes second, friendship comes first..."
"..."
"Don't let me see him again next time!"
Lao Fang wrapped the broken glass with his coat and walked out of the house cursing. Inside the house, Li Yi shook his head and sighed: "Why is this Wang Yong so careless..."
He walked outside the house and shouted in a certain direction: "Xiaohuan!"
"Hey!" After a while, the little maid ran out in a hurry.
"Let them prepare a car."
Li Yi said this and walked back into the house again, carrying the largest brocade box into the back hall.
…
…
"Father, we can't do this business!"
In a deep house in Kyoto, a young man looked at a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe and said eagerly: "If this is the case, when glazed ware becomes common in the future, our Wang family will become the enemy of all the nobles in Kyoto.
.”
The middle-aged man did not answer directly, but looked at the slightly older young man beside him and asked: "Yong'er, what do you think about this?"
"Returning to father, I have a different view on this matter."
Wang Yong thought for a while and said: "My child has been thinking about this matter on the way back. Your Majesty has just checked the accounts of the officials in Kyoto. Corrupt people have already donated their dirty money to the national treasury. This matter has just become popular."
Soon, I'm afraid not many people in the court will have the courage to buy these glazed wares."
"However, those big families and powerful people will not let go of such an opportunity." Wang Yong continued: "The intrigues among the various families are already at odds. We only need to tell a few families and the vassal families of the Wang family.
Even if you offend the remaining people, what do you have to fear?"
"Our Wang family can get 20% of the profit for nothing with almost no investment. What's more, the royal family will also be involved in this matter. On the one hand, it can be firmly tied to County Uncle Li, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as doing things for the royal family.
, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so I think this is feasible!"
"Ha ha……"
The middle-aged man in Confucian robes smiled, patted the shoulder of the young man who spoke first, and said, "Do you still remember what is the first important thing to remember as a descendant of the Wang family?"
"Make money!" The young man nodded immediately.
"Remember, as long as our Wang family does not rebel, we will always have a foothold in Jingguo..." The middle-aged man nodded, changed his voice, and said: "Besides, that Li County uncle must also
Good friends."
"Yong'er, I'll leave this matter to you!"
"My child understands!" Wang Yong said with a solemn expression.
…
…
"Okay, don't wait here anymore. Go and do your own thing. Just wait for me here in two hours."
Li Yi hugged a long brocade box, got off the carriage, waved to the people around the carriage, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
He met Lao Chang walking out of the palace gate. Chang De saw him and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty wants to see you."
"Can you wait a moment?" Li Yi gestured to the box in his hand and said, "I have to send this to the princess."
Changde shook his head and said: "Let's go see your majesty first. It won't be too late for your majesty to see the princess after meeting you."
"let's go……"
Li Yi waved his hand. He happened to have something to discuss with the old emperor. It made no difference who he met first and who he met later.
In the imperial garden, Emperor Jing looked at Master Tanyin's hand retracting from his wrist and asked: "How?"
Master Tanyin pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, you should try your best to avoid overwork in the future, otherwise, the dragon body will not be optimistic..."
Emperor Jing was silent for a moment and said: "Three years, I only need three years. Is it impossible to do it with the master's medical skills?"
"Amitabha, no matter how high your medical skills are, you are still an ordinary person and cannot recover..." Master Tanyin recited the Buddha's name and said: "You can gain only when you give up. If your Majesty can let go, you may be able to live for three years."
"If I let it go, what's the use of these three years?" Emperor Jing smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, master."
"I'm sorry, monk, please leave." Master Tanyin stood up from the stone bench, retreated to the foot of the stone pavilion, turned around and left.
Emperor Jing looked into the distance slightly absent-mindedly, with a deep look of dejection on his face.
…
The two of them walked on the road in silence. At a certain moment, Chang De suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Why didn't Mr. Li ask me why your Majesty summoned you today?"
"If I ask you, will you say it?"
Li Yi glanced at him, and he had the nerve to ask himself. He pretended to be confused every time because he understood. Now he is pretending to be addicted, right?
When he turned his head, he was surprised to see a figure. Li Yi walked over and said, "Master Tanyin, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here."
The glass Guanyin statue that was taken away at noon was given away in the afternoon. Although half of it was hacked by Miss Liu Er on the spot and used to recruit troops, this did not affect Li Yi's growing affection for the monk.
"Amitabha, this is the fate between me and donor Xiao Li." No matter what time, old monk Tanyin always had a faint smile on his face.
After saying that, he looked at Li Yi again and asked: "I don't know..."
Seeing that the old monk Tanyin seemed to want to ask something, Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Master, don't worry, if there are other Buddha statues and Guanyin statues, and they come to you, they will not be sold to Fahua Temple."
Li Yi decided not to cheat the monks. When the time comes, he will have leftover glass and give them a set of palm-sized Eighteen Arhats. They are all old friends and he must make them feel that the eight thousand taels are worth their money.
"That's not what I'm referring to." Master Tanyin shook his head and said.
"The master just wanted to say..." Li Yi looked at him with some confusion.
Master Tanyin thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "Donor Li, please hurry up and don't make your majesty wait impatiently. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he walked straight forward.
"This monk is weird." Li Yi shook his head and said inexplicably.
"A monk is naturally eccentric."
A strange voice came from the side. Li Yi turned around and saw a Taoist priest in green walking from behind. He said with a smile: "I have met Uncle Li, Mr. Chang."
"Yuan, what are you doing here?" Chang De frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
He didn't show such an expression to the old monk Tanyin just now, which shows that compared to the monk, Lao Chang obviously dislikes the Taoist priest.
Li Yi had already seen the pavilion in front of him. He ignored the two people and walked forward. He gave the box in his hand to the guard under the pavilion and told him to be careful. Before he walked up, Emperor Jing's voice came over.
.
"Don't hide it. If you brought something good to me this time, just bring it up."
[PS: Do you still have a monthly pass? If not, I will ask again tonight.]
