Chapter 208: Wife and Godson(1/2)

The appearance of this glass caused the people of Chang'an to fall into madness again.

The first time was because of the Cao brothers’ hydro-loom.

The whole people are talking about this glass, and every businessman is trying to buy it.

It can be seen that the people in Chang'an now admire these inventions and creations very much, and even worship them from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Fei and Taotu became another pair of Chang'an "heroes" after the Cao brothers. Now, when the people of Chang'an educate their children, it is impossible to say that they should learn from ancient wise men, because learning them is useless. If you want to learn, learn from Cao brothers, learn from Xiaopang, tuition weekly fees, and Taotu. This principle is very simple. After ten years of hard work, there is a great possibility that you will not be able to pass the exam, but if you invent something, you can change your entire life trajectory overnight.

In the past, people always looked at the inventions of these craftsmen with a contempt mentality, let alone worship, but one at a time, another at a time.

It can be seen that the people's ideas have undergone subtle changes.

However, Luoyang next to him did not follow the trend of Chang'an. Since the emergence of the world in Luoyang, the first entertainment superstar was born in the world. Although the world in Luoyang was just a flash in the pan, it is precisely because of this that the people of Luoyang miss the world very much. No one thinks that the world is a lowly singing girl, and their mentality has changed, especially their views on the singing girl.

Then it became out of control. The people of Luoyang were very interested in entertainment. Luoyang's entertainment industry was far better than Chang'an. The income of the Luoyang Grand Theater was five times that of the Chang'an Grand Theater. The romantic talents, poets and lyrics in Chang'an all went to Luoyang because they began to think that the people of Chang'an were too boring and boring. They knew to work hard every day, and the people of Luoyang became much more open. Now the vendors in Luoyang can chant a few words.

This actually has something to do with geographical location, because Chang'an lacks food and does not have enough resources. In the past, the imperial court was responsible for the transportation of grain, which was equivalent to using power to ensure food. However, the emperor often went to Luoyang to beg for food. It can be seen that Chang'an did not have enough goods to exchange with outsiders, and compared with resources, it is certainly not as good as Jiangnan. This led to the people of Chang'an having the most basic consensus that only inventions can make Chang'an prosperous. Once industry and commerce stop, everyone will have no food to eat. Therefore, the people are very supportive of any invention in Chang'an and are very happy. Jealous people belong to the same industry because the people know that these inventions can provide jobs and cheap food for Chang'an, which is beneficial to them.

Luoyang is originally an economic center. The food to go to Chang'an is a must-pass Luoyang. Luoyang people don't need to work hard, and the grain prices in Luoyang will not be very expensive. The people of Luoyang do not have this sense of urgency. Moreover, the entertainment industry has created many jobs. Yangzhou and Muzhou in Jiangnan are like Chang'an, Luoyang and Yangzhou. The service industry is very strong. Yuanxing has developed very well in Yangzhou and has become the center of Jiangnan finance. Muzhou has strong industrial capabilities. In the South China Sea merchants who go to the South China Sea are probably Muzhou merchants, and Yangzhou merchants don't care, because the port is in Yangzhou. If the Muzhou merchants want to go to sea, they have to come to Yangzhou first and build a hotel.

In the evening.

"Beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

When Li Zhi first stood in the bedroom of Daming Palace, watching the beauty of the sunset, he looked intoxicated!

The reason why the Daming Palace was built was because the Tai Chi Palace was too low and humid, and the Daming Palace was very high, so he could enjoy the sunset well. Of course, he could only stand in the bedroom, because the entire Daming Palace was also repaired. Li Zhi was not an emperor who likes to waste, and he never asked to continue to build the Daming Palace.

"Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal!"

Wu Meiniang behind him reminded.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Let me look at it for a while." Li Zhi said, and waved again: "Queen, come and take a look."

"Yes." Wu Meiniang smiled helplessly and walked to the window.

Li Zhi pointed out the window and said, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Because the light shone through the glass, it was still different. It was also the first time that Li Zhi looked at the sunset through the glass, and the feeling deep in his heart immediately emerged.

Wu Meiniang nodded with a smile, with a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, I think this glass is not just a clay, but a treasure of our Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Of course, this is true. In the future, we will no longer need to buy glass from the Western Regions, but the Western Regions merchants came to our Tang Dynasty to buy glass." As he spoke, he looked proud.

Wu Meiniang said: "I believe that the court should give clay and pay more protection policies for weekly expenses, so that the secret recipe of glass must not be revealed."

Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang and said, "What suggestions do you have?"

Wu Meiniang said: "As far as I know, Zhou Fei and Taotu purchased an entire village in the southwest to build this glass workshop. The purpose is to protect their secret recipes, because the village is very remote. If the court can give them privileges to allow them to build exterior walls there and turn that piece of land into a forbidden area, it can help them protect the secret recipes of this glass more."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "You can do this."

He never thought of taking glass for himself, but in fact he had never thought about any commodity. Anyway, as long as he wanted, he would definitely be the first to use it. That would be fine! If he wanted to take it for himself, he would definitely use it for profit, so he would have to be a state-owned enterprise. Now the Tang Dynasty has firmly opposed the official enterprise from top to bottom, and it is extremely hated for this. If the court wants to order the establishment of an official enterprise again, the people may rebel directly because the people think it is dead anyway.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I understand."

Xiao Mansion.

"Dad! Have you heard of glass?"

Han Xuanpin said vaguely while eating.

Han Yi smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Han Xuanpin said: "I heard that glass is so magical, just like transparent. When can we use glass in our house?"

Han Yi said: "You have to ask your sister about this. Now your sister is responsible for our family's finances. At most, Dad can only help you run errands."

Han Xuanpin looked at Han Rui who was eating properly on the side again, and asked, "Sister, what do you think?"

Han Rui said: "Brother, it's not a good deal to buy it now. It may be much cheaper to sell it after a year."

Han Xuanpin said depressedly: "Is it a year?"

Han Rui said: "This glass is not a necessary thing, so you don't need to rush to buy it."

Han Xuanpin looked at Han Rui depressedly and said, "Sister, our family is not short of this little money."

Han Rui said: "But this is not the money we make, it is the money we make, dad and mother. If they choose me as the head of the family, I can't use their money indiscriminately."

"oh!"

Han Xuanpin puffed his mouth, and the boss was unhappy and stood up, "I'm full, Dad, sister, eat slowly, I'm going back to my room to do my homework!" He walked towards the bedroom in a depressed mood.

Han Rui glanced at her younger brother and said to Han Yi with a sad look on her face: "Dad, did I do something wrong?"

You are so similar to your mother! Han Yi smiled and said, "Of course you did nothing wrong. As the head of the family, you should be like this. You are very careful in calculating. It doesn't mean that if we have money, we should use the best for everything. Why do we have money? It is because we know how to use money better than others. If we forget this, we will lose our wealth. In fact, it is enough for us. We don't have to use the best for everything."

Han Rui said: "But my brother is unhappy. Didn't my father often say that our family should be happy every day?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is a very interesting question. You think it is not cost-effective to buy glass now, because you know that in a year, the price of glass will definitely be reduced. This glass is not a meal, and if you don't eat it, you will starve to death. There is no problem a year later. So from the perspective of money, you are of course right. But now you have to add your brother's mood. Do you have to recalculate it?"

Han Rui thought for a while, suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "What does Dad mean?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Dad, but you haven't finished talking yet. You said just now. This money is earned by Dad and your mother. It's not something you earn. You can't spend it indiscriminately."

Han Rui frowned again, pondered for a while, and said, "Dad, my daughter doesn't understand."

Han Yi smiled and said, "As the head of the family, you must calculate the annual family expenses. A successful head of the family means ensuring that the family expenses are stable and not fluctuate too much. This is why neither your father nor your aunt Wuyi is qualified head of the family. Since our family wants to buy glass, you should save a little bit, as long as the expenses are not increased."

Han Rui said happily: "My daughter knows, and she will discuss with her younger brother later and try to save the money from our expenses."

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Rui'er, you have been well-behaved and sensible since childhood. Dad is very relieved to you. You have never let my dad worry about you, but your brother must understand that there is nothing in this world that can be obtained at your fingertips. You have to pay to get it. I know you spoil him very much, but you also have to use your brain."

Han Rui nodded and said, "Daughter, remember."

Suddenly, someone outside the hall laughed and said, "What are you talking about, and how happy are you talking?"

The father and daughter turned their heads and saw three beautiful women walking in from outside.

"Mom, aunt, aunt."

Han Rui immediately stood up and shouted obediently.

Yuan Mudan gently put one hand on her daughter, who was only half a head shorter than her, and said, "Rui'er, what are you talking about? You're so fascinated that you don't even know that we come in."

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is the secret between us father and daughter, so don't inquire about it."

Han Rui's eyes turned and she said, "Mom, I'm going back to the house to do my homework!" As she said that, she quickly left.

Xiao Wuyi laughed and said, "It seems that Rui'er still looks a bit like her husband, at least she looks very similar to her running away."

"What's the reason for running away? It's so ugly." Han Yi glared at her angrily and said, "Did you eat it? If you don't eat it, I'll help you make it."

Yang Feixue sat down and said, "We have eaten at the new market!"

Han Yi asked, "How did you three come back together?"

Xiao Wuyi smiled and said, "This is our secret, don't inquire."

Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "When will you stop learning from me?"

Xiao Wuyi said: "When one day I can beat you."

Han Yi sighed: "It seems you want to live until you are old and learn until you are old."

Yang Feixue and Yuan Mudan covered their lips and started to smile.

Xiao Wuyi snorted, "Don't be proud, one day, I will beat you without fists."

Yuan Mudan smiled and shook her head slightly, saying, "Actually, we are going to the girls' university."

Han Yi smiled and said, "I can understand that they are going, why are you going too? Did Wuyi fool you into donating money again?"

"Husband!" Xiao Wuyi slapped the table lightly and looked at Han Yi with great dissatisfaction.

Han Yi said: "Madam, don't just imitate my tone. You have to learn my face. Being able to fool others into paying money is a skill."

Xiao Wuyi twitched the corners of her mouth, but she kept holding it in her mouth and said, "I can't learn your face."

Han Yi said: "That's bad!"

Yuan Mudan smiled and said, "I am also a woman, and it is worth donating money. Many people are paying attention to women's colleges. Wuyi's philosophy is not wrong. Zhaoyi College's success is actually a warning to us that this education should be upgraded, especially the Six Sages of the Sages should be valued."

Yang Feixue nodded and said, "In our study with those ninth-rank academicians, we have found that many inventions and creations, many industrial and commercial concepts have a great relationship with the Sixth School of the Sage."

Yuan Mudan said: "As a businessman, I also hope to see more senior talents. This time I go there, I really plan to donate some money to the women's university in the name of my Yuan family."

Yang Feixue also said: "I also plan to donate all my new book money to the women's university."

Xiao Wuyi didn't say a word, but just looked at Han Yi very proudly.

Han Yi pulled her to her side, let her sit on her thigh, put her hand on her waist, and said, "Madam, can you give us men a way out for my sake, don't kill them all."

Xiao Wuyi leaned against Han Yi's arms very naturally and said lightly: "It depends on your mood."

After saying that, she started to giggle first.

Han Yi, Yuan Mudan, and Yang Feixue also laughed.

Xiao Wuyi suddenly said, "Husband, do you know that everyone is talking about that glass now."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Of course I know, your son wants our family to change into glass as soon as possible."
