Chapter 347: The prince guards the gate of the country
And Li Min naturally knew what Ji Zhiji was worried about.
So, Li Min said to the reminder calmly: "Don't worry, as long as you can take all the mirror business, I can naturally hand it over to you as an agent. However, if you can't take it by then, then
Don't blame me for leaving it to other families to do this."
Hearing Li Min's words, Ji Zhiji couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart, and then asked cautiously: "Your Highness, what is the monthly output of that mirror?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "If we fully produce, we will earn at least 3,000 yuan per month!"
After hearing Li Min's words, Ji Zhiji couldn't help but said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, the output is quite high! In fact, there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who can afford to buy mirrors. Based on this output, the market will soon expand.
It will reach saturation, which..."
Huh?
Unexpectedly, this guy could actually see this.
There are indeed no stupid people in the Qiwang family with the fifth surname!
Li Min couldn't help but laughed and said: "Master Cui, why are you so short-sighted? Your vision is only limited to the Tang Dynasty, and the output is naturally much. But if you look at the stars and the sea -"
"Well, looking at other surrounding countries, all those countries that have trade relations with Datang, how much sales will there be? Do you think that a mere three thousand yuan per month is really that big? By then, I'm afraid there will be no sales at all.
Isn’t it enough for you and your family? Then don’t get into any disputes over this share.”
After listening to Li Min's words, Ji Zhiji's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Yes, it would indeed be too short-sighted to limit the market to Datang.
If you look around, the markets in all the countries that had trade with the Tang Dynasty are really amazing!
For a moment, Ji Zhiji's eyes flickered, inferring the huge business opportunities here.
So I inferred that the more terrifying it felt, the more excited I felt.
Well, what the reminder machine didn't know was that in fact, glass had already appeared in the West at this time.
Even its technology has reached a quite advanced level.
Although in terms of quality, it cannot be compared with the mirrors that Li Min exchanged in the mall.
But the real gap is probably not that big.
As early as the first century AD, Rome became the center of glass manufacturing, including gilding, cutting, blowing, engraving, blow molding, wire winding, engraving and other manufacturing techniques that are still in use today.
If Wu Xingqiwang sells glass, he probably can only sell it in surrounding locations.
If shipped to the West for sale, I'm afraid even the underwear would be completely intact.
…
Soon, the palace guards came and ordered Li Min to discuss matters in front of the palace.
Discussing matters in front of the palace?
Li Min was a little confused and didn't know what happened.
After asking the palace guards, I learned that it was because Songtsen Gampo came to propose marriage and wanted to seek his opinion.
In fact, this matter can be solved by just discussing it with the ministers of civil and military affairs.
My father asked me to come to the palace to discuss matters. The meaning behind this is thought-provoking!
Not long after, Li Min arrived at the main hall.
Li Shimin asked: "Yin'er, Songtsen Gampo of Tubo came to our country to ask for marriage, and he wanted to marry the princess of our country. Moreover, he was prepared to learn the culture of our country and form a permanent alliance with our country. As a person of benefit to you,
Governor of the state, I don’t know about this matter, what do you think?”
Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, Li Min couldn't help but said: "Father, I think this matter must not be done!"
As soon as Li Min finished speaking, Changsun Wuji stood up and asked: "Your Majesty the King of Shu, Tubo admires our culture of the Tang Dynasty and actively wants to form an alliance with our country. This is the image of our great country. The so-called great country is despicable.
Inviting all nations to come to court is a manifestation of the prestige of our country, the Tang Dynasty. I dare to ask the King of Shu, why he opposes it?"
Li Min smiled slightly and asked disdainfully: "So, may I ask Duke Zhao, has the chosen princess ever been willing to marry?"
Royal women may be beautiful, but they have too many marriages and are not free.
Especially when it comes to marriage, you can only fall into the victim of marriage.
In the late Tang Dynasty, Princess Jingle and Princess Yifang were finally brutally killed.
However, after Changsun Wuji heard Li Min's words, he couldn't help but smile scornfully.
"Your Highness, King of Shu, marriage is a matter of family, country and world, how can it be mixed with the personal affairs of children? It is the princess' honor to make sacrifices for the entire Tang Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Li Min couldn't help but sigh and said: "In the history of the Han family, Ji Zhuo was a mercenary. The country relied on the Ming Lord, and its safety was entrusted to the woman. How can you imitate the beauty of jade and imitate Hu Chen. There are thousands of years of bones in the ground.
Who is the assistant minister?"
As soon as this poem came out, the entire court could not help but fall into silence.
This poem almost cursed the entire civil servant group.
The prosperity of the country depends on wise rulers and wise ministers. How can it be entrusted to women?
It's all because these ministers are incompetent and make poor decisions.
And those generals cheered loudly after hearing this poem!
Cheng Yaojin cheered loudly and asked in a low voice: "Jingde, what does your highness's poem mean?"
Yuchi Jingde said disdainfully: "It must be a good thing if you can silence those weaklings with questions. You are right to follow suit and applaud!"
Cheng Yaojin thought about it, well, that seems to be the case.
As a result, the cheers became even louder.
Li Min couldn't help but ask Changsun Wuji again: "May I ask Zhao Guogong, looking at the history books, is there anyone who has achieved true peace through marriage?"
"this--"
Changsun Wuji said this word, but he couldn't continue.
Because buying peace through marriage is just a self-deceiving idea.
Li Min then asked: "Since a marriage cannot bring real peace, then why should we agree to a marriage?"
Changsun Wuji was speechless when asked, speechless.
At this time, Wei Zheng couldn't help but ask: "What should His Majesty, King of Shu, see?"
Hearing this question, Li Min couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, if we in the Tang Dynasty do not get married or get married, the monarch will die in the country, and the prince will guard the country!"
"good!"
This good word came from Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne. After hearing what Li Min said, he couldn't help but feel angry. He slapped the imperial case and said the good word heavily.
And the group of veterans above the court applauded loudly.
This time, all the generals heard clearly.
Everyone listened with excitement and excitement.
That's exactly what they think in their hearts, but they can't say it so well or so boldly!
We, the great Tang Dynasty, want all parties to surrender and congratulate us, so how can we seek peace through marriage?
