Chapter 60: Flicking Zhu Yunxi
"Cousin, you're back!" As soon as Li Jie entered the house, he saw Liu Yi quickly walked up and said, "I have never been able to find your person these days. Can't we do that glass mirror workshop?"
"Do it, but I'm quite busy recently, so please worry more, cousin!" Li Jie immediately said. He is now focused on seducing the qualifying princess. After all, if this matter cannot be done, his life will be gone and other things will be meaningless.
"That's what you said last time. I've found a good place in the workshop. I've even found someone, but now I've encountered a problem that cannot be solved." Liu Yi said anxiously at this time. He had already set up the shelves of the workshop, but he encountered problems that could not be solved, so he was so anxious to find Li Jie.
“What’s the problem?”
"Glass, I found the merchant who bought glass last time, but they said that the amount we wanted was too large, and he could not provide a stable supply at all, and even a small supply could not be guaranteed." Liu Yi was a little depressed at the end. He did not expect that there were still things that he could not buy with money.
"Don't worry about glass cousin, I have a way to solve it!" Li Jie smiled calmly when he heard this.
"You really have a way?" Liu Yi said in surprise when he heard this.
"Of course, but the craftsmanship of glass mirrors is not complicated, so all the craftsmen in the workshop have to find people who have believed in it, and their tone must be strict. Otherwise, if it is leaked in the future, it will only be cheaper for others." Li Jie reminded him again at this time.
"Don't worry, the craftsmen are all tenants of our family, and the workshop is also in the village outside the city. It is strictly forbidden for outsiders to approach. I also sent the guards at home. I will never disclose the secrets of our workshop!" Liu Yi said confidently.
Li Jie just smiled when he heard this. In fact, he didn't have much hope for keeping the process confidentiality, because as long as the glass mirror is on the market, there will definitely be jealous people trying every means to steal the process. However, even if it is leaked, Li Jie is not worried, because for him, there are too many ways to make money, and this one is not bad.
"By the way, cousin, how is your plan to marry a princess going?" Liu Yi suddenly asked with concern again.
"It's quite smooth, you will know in the future, my cousin." Li Jie replied vaguely.
Since the last birthday party, Li Jie has rarely discussed his plan to marry the princess with Liu Yi. Because Liu Yi failed to keep it a secret, he told his father Liu Ying about the plan. Although Liu Ying knew nothing, Li Jie still felt that Liu Yi was not very strict, and he couldn't help with this matter, so he simply refused to let him know.
The next morning, Li Jie came to Zuochunfang again. In fact, Zuochunfang was not a place, but an official signature. His main responsibility was to teach the princes and grandchildren to study. The residence of Zuochunfang is called Dabentang, which is also a place for royal books.
Li Jie came neither early nor late. As soon as he entered the room, Huang Zicheng also walked in with his book to prepare for class, but when he saw Li Jie, he just snorted coldly and said nothing.
Li Jie was lazy to pay attention to this loyal minister. Anyway, both of them were studying together, so they were originally just a rank.
At that moment, Li Jie greeted Zhu Yunyu and Zhu Yunwen who were sitting there, and then sat in his seat. Zhu Yunyu smiled enthusiastically at him. In contrast, Zhu Yunwen was very cold.
Today I still talk about the Records of the Grand Historian, but maybe I suffered a loss at Li Jie yesterday, so Huang Zicheng didn't dare to take private goods during the lecture. The whole class was normal, with no highlights or any flaws. When the class ended, Huang Zicheng left immediately, and seemed unwilling to stay in the same room with Li Jie.
"Li Bandu, you won, Mr. Huang really didn't dare to sue him!" As soon as Huang Zicheng left, Zhu Yunxi immediately turned to Li Jie, but although he lost, he did not look at all depressed because he had accepted the result yesterday.
"What are you talking about when complaining? What are you talking about?" Zhu Yunwen, who was in front, mentioned Huang Zicheng when he heard his younger brother's words, turned around and asked immediately.
"Haha, yesterday Li Bandu said that Mr. Huang dared not complain to his father, so I didn't believe it, so I made a bet, and I lost." Zhu Yunxiu briefly introduced.
"Hmph, Mr. Huang doesn't complain, that's because he is magnanimous. You just judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" Zhu Yunwen said angrily when he heard this.
"Your Highness, did Mr. Huang remind you not to tell the Crown Prince what happened yesterday?" Li Jie asked with a smile.
"So what? Mr. Huang is unwilling to ruin your future due to a temporary battle of will, but he did not expect that his magnanimity would be regarded as weak by you!" Zhu Yunwen said angrily again. He was completely blinded by Huang Zicheng, and he believed whatever the other party said.
"Is that so? Why not do that? Your Highness, go find Mr. Huang and tell him that you want to tell the prince about yesterday. I bet that he will definitely hold you tightly and will not let you complain anyway!" Li Jie sneered at the end. He hoped to make yesterday's incident a big deal. Then how many heads Huang Zicheng has enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to cut it?
"You... I'll go find Mr. Huang now, and see who is in trouble then!" Zhu Yunwen jumped up in anger, and after that, he turned around and left.
Looking at Zhu Yunwen's departure, Li Jie shook his head again. A child who was originally very smart was ruined by Huang Zicheng. Unless he could wake up, no one could help him.
"Li Banju, is it really okay?" Zhu Yunxiu looked at Zhu Yunwen who was angrily leaving, but he still said with some concern.
"Don't worry, Huang Zicheng will stop him!" Li Jie smiled calmly.
"By the way, you lost, and now you have to fulfill your bet!" Li Jie looked at Zhu Yunxi and smiled again.
"No problem, Li Bandu, please make any requests, well... as long as I can do it." Zhu Yunxiu wanted to look heroic at the beginning, but in the end he became less confident.
"Don't worry, it's just a small matter!" Li Jie said as he took out something from his arms and stuffed it into the other party's hand and said, "Your Highness, take a look at this thing!"
Zhu Yunxiu was also looking at what Li Jie gave him, but he saw that it was a very delicate round flat wood box, like a shell. When he opened the box, he found that the cover of the box was an extremely bright mirror, and the material was made of glass.
"This... is this the legendary glass mirror?" Zhu Yunxiu said in shock when he saw the mirror. Since he met Li Jie, he also specifically inquired about Li Jie. Of course, he also knew that Li Jie had made a glass mirror for Li Shanchang.
"Yes, this is a glass mirror. I plan to make more mirrors so that more people can use this kind of mirror!" Li Jie explained with a smile.
"Why did sir give it to me?" Zhu Yunxi asked in confusion.
"It's like this. When a new product is launched, more people must know the value of this product in advance. As the saying goes, the superiors will be effective. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness to give the mirror to the nobles in the palace. At that time, people outside know that even the nobles in the palace use glass mirrors, and they will definitely rush to buy them. The mirrors I made are not afraid of no sales." Li Jie smiled again.
