Chapter 153 Are You So Honest?
"My sons and ministers see the father!" Li Tai bowed and saluted.
I don't know if he pretended it on purpose, or because he was obese, but when he saluted, he seemed to be very strenuous.
"Qingque is here, hurry up, sit down and talk." Li Shimin said with some distress when he saw Li Tai's appearance.
"Thank you, Father!"
Li Mu hurried forward to help Li Tai.
"Why did Qing Que come to see Father?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
Li Tai said: "Father, my servant found out that since I don't have a Geography Chronicle of my own in the Tang Dynasty, my servant is not talented, so I want to ask for orders to compile a Geography Chronicle belonging to the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Tai eloquently explained to Li Shimin the benefits of compiling geography. These were taught to him in Korean when he came here.
Li Shimin said happily: "Qingque, this is a good thing, I agree, you can do it according to your ideas."
Of course he knew what Li Tai was thinking, and he was very pleased now that Li Tai had the intention to compile geographical records.
"Father, I need some literati to help me." Li Tai cupped his hands and said.
As soon as Li Shimin heard the important person, he said in a somewhat embarrassed way: "Qingque, the matter of compiling geography will be postponed first, and I can't send anyone to help you now!"
Kong Yingda wants to rewrite the book and add punctuation marks.
Although it is not necessary to rewrite all the books, just the Four Books and Five Classics and some commonly used books require a lot of people, and he has no one to give Li Tai now.
"Father, why!" Li Tai was taken aback for a moment, Li Shimin just said to support him, how could it be delayed.
Li Shimin made Lin Xuan out of punctuation marks, and Kong Yingda told Li Tai about rewriting the book.
"Father, I understand!" Li Tai said with a smile.
Lin Xuan, it's Lin Xuan again.
Li Tai was impatient, Lin Xuan always ruined his good things.
……
"Your Highness, did His Majesty not agree?" Seeing that Li Tai came back with an unhappy face, Han Wen asked quickly.
Li Tai nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Father agrees, but no one will give it to me now!"
Li Tai told Han Wen what happened.
Hanwen frowned after listening to it, no one was easy to solve, five surnames Qiwang plus other aristocratic families, there are many important people.
But they advocate editing books, in addition to please Li Shimin's favor, another purpose is to attract talents.
If the aristocratic family sent someone to help Li Tai edit the book, it would be inconsistent with their original intention.
And it will also expose the family's support for Li Tai.
"Your Highness, this matter can only be postponed. Your Highness might as well find a way to win over Lin Xuan first." Han Wen said.
"Win Lin Xuan? This king can't wait to kill him now!" Li Tai said with a ferocious face.
Lin Xuan helped Li Chengqian without mentioning it, and even ruined his good deeds a few times. Now that Lin Xuan is mentioned, he gets angry.
"Your Highness, be careful. Doesn't Your Highness want to enter the East Palace? After His Highness succeeds, Lin Xuan can do whatever he wants?" Han Wen said.
Li Tai was just dizzy with anger, if he was really asked to kill Lin Xuan, he really couldn't do it.
Although he didn't get along with Li Chengqian, his relationship with Li Lizhi, his sister, was still very good.
"This king knows!" Li Tai said.
……
The next day, Xu Guangfu sent the high-quality colored glaze produced by Xu Guangfu's kiln to the Lin family.
Lin Xuan didn't look at the colored glaze first, but asked, "How many pieces are there in this kiln?"
"Back to Lord Hou, there are 31 pieces in total this time!" Xu Guangfu said.
Lin Xuan was very satisfied. He originally thought that there would be more than 20 pieces, but he didn't expect that there would be a little more than he expected.
"How many fire kilns have you received?" Lin Xuan asked.
31 pieces in two days is still too little, not enough to sell.
"Master Hou, you have already owned eleven fire kilns, do you want to keep collecting them?" Xu Guangfu said.
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "No need, when I arrange someone to go over, hurry up and burn it."
Including another kiln, there are twelve in total. If each kiln averages 25 pieces at a time, it can burn [-] pieces in two days, or [-] pieces in a month.
This amount is completely enough, and he must have sold it very expensive in the early stage.
He will consider reducing the price only after he has earned the family's money, and it will not be too late to increase production at that time.
"When installing windows in the house, remember to let the kiln burn the glass I told you, and then install it on the windows!" Lin Xuan confessed.
His idea of making glass is to install windows, making money is secondary, and the cart should not be put before the horse.
"Yes!"
In Xu Guangfu's view, it is too wasteful to install the valuable colored glaze on the windows, but he can't say anything.
Lin Xuan asked Xu Guangfu to go to work, and opened the box to check.
This time, the cups and bowls were fired, and the appearance is very good.
"Liu Da, ask someone to load the box into the carriage, and tell them to be careful not to break it." Lin Xuan ordered.
"Yes!"
Liu Da knew that there were colored glazes in the box, so needless to say, he also knew to be careful.
Liu Da called two soldiers and told them to be careful.
Even so, he was not at ease and kept following.
After Liuli was loaded into the carriage, Lin Xuan rode a lion horse, and Liu Da personally drove the carriage to the palace.
Liu Da and others could not enter the palace, so Lin Xuan had to ask the guards at the gate of the palace to find Li Junxian.
"Jingyang County Marquis, who are you?" Li Junxian looked at the box on the carriage with some doubts.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "This is a gift from me to His Majesty, please trouble General Li to check it, and send someone to help me carry it in!"
Li Junxian nodded and stepped forward to open the box.
Li Junxian was taken aback when he saw what was in the box.
He is often around Li Shimin and has seen many good things.
But it was the first time he had seen such a box of colored glaze.
Seeing Li Junxian's surprised look, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "If General Li likes it, I'll give you some someday!"
Li Junxian came back to his senses, and said lightly: "Thank you, Marquis of Jingyang County, this thing is too expensive, how dare I take it!"
Although he was a little moved, he didn't dare to take it.
If he took it, maybe he would be released by Li Shimin tomorrow.
Lin Xuan smiled and didn't care.
He met Li Junxian for the first time, and wanted to make friends, but Li Junxian rejected his offer.
Since then, he has no intention of showing his affection.
The reason why I said to give Li Junxian a few pieces just now is because in his opinion, these so-called colored glazes are worthless at all.
Since people don't want it, he certainly won't force it.
Li Junxian checked it carefully, summoned two guards, and said: "You carry the box and follow the Marquis of Jingyang County, you must be careful on the way, and you must not touch the things inside."
"Thank you, General Li!" Lin Xuan thanked and walked into the palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
"Report to Your Majesty, please see the Marquis of Jingyang County!" Li Mu reported.
"Let him in." Li Shimin said.
"I see you, Your Majesty!"
"Mianli, you came to see me, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan said: "Your Majesty, this minister is here to give His Majesty a gift."
gift?
Li Shimin gave Lin Xuan a strange look, what kind of gift should he give this year?
Lin Xuan saw Li Shimin's doubts, and pretended to be mysterious and said: "The gift brought by the minister is already outside. Your Majesty can let you bring it in."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu, but did not speak.
Li Mu understood, went out quickly, and ordered someone to bring in the box that Lin Xuan had brought.
After the box was put down, Lin Xuan stepped forward to open the box, and said with a smile, "Please take a look, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin saw the glass cups and bowls in the box, and said in surprise: "Have you made it?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is a fine product made in one kiln, and I sent all of them to Your Majesty."
Li Shimin glanced at Lin Xuan in disbelief, and said, "Are you so honest?"
"Your Majesty, all of them are really here, but I didn't leave any of them." Lin Xuan said a little speechlessly.
You guys treat this thing as a treasure, and you can pick it up when you pick up trash in future generations, so there's nothing so rare about it.
"I blamed you by mistake." Li Shimin heard Lin Xuan say this, and knew that he should not have lied.
Li Shimin stepped forward, picked up a cup, and watched it carefully.
"The colored glaze you fired is better than the colored glaze collected in my treasure house." Li Shimin praised.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!"
Li Shimin put down his cup and said, "You can't just give me colored glaze this time, can you?"
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, I would like to ask His Majesty for some people."
"Who do you want?"
"Your Majesty, I have a shallow family and few trustworthy people. I bought some kilns and would like to ask Your Majesty for some people to make colored glaze." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "I'll let Li Mu arrange it for you."
"I also want a shop to sell colored glaze. It is best that His Majesty send someone to manage this shop." Lin Xuan said with his hands clasped.
Who knows if Li Shimin will suspect him of taking it for himself, the best way is to let Li Shimin send someone to manage it.
Li Shimin took a deep look at Lin Xuan and said, "I will arrange all these, but the person I sent doesn't know Liuli as well as you, and I will let him listen to your arrangements."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first." Lin Xuan said.
"Wait, I heard you asked Kong Yingda to write for you?" Li Shimin stopped Lin Xuan and asked.
Lin Xuan was taken aback, this matter was a private matter, logically Kong Yingda should not have told Li Shimin.
When I first talked about this matter, there was no one else except Kong Yingda and Li Chunfeng.
But he didn't have time to think about it right now.
"Returning to Your Majesty, I still have two months to be crowned, so I would like to ask Dr. Kong to help me to write a word!" Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "How about I help you?"
Lin Xuan said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I have already told Dr. Kong about this matter, isn't it good?"
Of course it would be good for Li Shimin to give him calligraphy. In ancient times, it was a great honor for the emperor to bestow calligraphy.
What would Kong Yingda think when he found out?
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I will tell him over there, and I won't embarrass you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the words!" Li Shimin had already said that, what else could he say.
Li Shimin said: "You go back first, before you are crowned, I will help you write a good word."
"I retire!"
Lin Xuan was walking on the way from the palace, wondering how Li Shimin would know that he asked Kong Yingda to write.
The first possibility is nothing more than that Kong Yingda and Li Chunfeng told others, and then it spread to Li Shimin's ears.
Another possibility is that there are people placed by Li Shimin in his family.
If it's the former, it's okay, but if it's the latter, it's terrible.
His biggest secret is time travel and system, he will not reveal it.
But no one likes being watched every day.
