Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 123 Trading
"How unreasonable, nonsense! Fang Er, is this really the king who dare not kill you?!"

Li You's face was pale, furious, and glared at Fang Jun.

You really dare to say that, don't you know what Your Majesty is most afraid of?Prince Pingfan outside, financial, political, and military are all in control, once ambition breeds, rebellion, and immediately drag the country into war.

He actually said that this king "has a shady heart and wants to do something big against the sky"?
If these words reach the ears of the old pedantic, old-fashioned Quan Wanji, secretly write a black material, and hand it over to the father...

You want me to die!

Li You's courage was about to break, so how could he not be shocked and angry?
Fang Jun looked at him with a smile, thinking to himself, he knew that your kid is a waste of dim sum and doesn't have the guts.

"If that's the case, then why does His Highness use such despicable and shameless means to seek the wealth of the courtier's family?"

"This king..."

Li You almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, how do you know that you are a courtier now?Why didn't you know it was a servant when you hit me?

He was so angry, but he was really afraid that Fang Jun would talk nonsense after returning to Chang'an. The father and emperor would not believe it, but he couldn't stop the censors who were full of Chang'an. Those guys were not fashionable. Stir up seven or three feet of waves, if you get this excuse, you can't go to death to participate in this king?
Li You rolled his eyes and knew that threatening Fang Jun with taking out the glass method was going to be a crime, so he sat down and waited angrily for Fang Jun to say, "It's shameless!"

Fang Jun's expression remained the same: "His Royal Highness has won the prize."

"Is this king complimenting you? I really didn't realize it. Your second room's face is so thick, it's almost catching up with the wild boar skin in the mountains..."

"Your Highness has won the prize."

"Hey! The more you talk, the more you breathe, right?"

"Your Highness has won the prize!"

……

Li You almost fell back in anger, staring at Fang Jun and saw sparks almost popping out of his eyes.

After teasing Li You for a while, Fang Jun said slowly, "Actually, if Your Highness is really interested in this glass method, it's not that we can't talk about it."

Li You was stunned.

He gave up his face and tried to coerce Fang Jun to give up the glass method through the matter of the Fang family's cemetery, but he was coerced by Fang Jun instead... Seeing that this method does not work, and he was discouraged, this club actually offered to talk about it. ?
Immediately, Li You didn't care which string Fang Jun made a mistake, or if he had other plans, he couldn't wait to ask, "Really?"

"really?"

Li You excitedly said: "That's it, Erlang, let's talk about it, what are the conditions?"

This has changed from Fang Er to Erlang. This Li You is really not a sincere child, but he is not stupid enough to say "whatever you want"...

Fang Jun said, "Is there a sailor in Dengzhou?"

Li You was stunned: "Yes!"

What's the deal with the sailor?Is it possible that you want to become an official, and ask this king to find you a lieutenant general and a town general?

Fang Jun continued to ask: "Do sailors usually have cruising missions?"

Li You scratched his head: "Should there be?"

Fang Jun was speechless: "What does it mean to have? You are the military governor of Qi, Qing, Lai, Mi and other five states, the military governor of Qizhou, and you don't know anything within your jurisdiction?"

In the 4th year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan set up the administrative division of Dengzhou for the first time, leading Wendeng and Guanyang counties, with Wendeng as the governing place and under Henan Province.

Li You was very embarrassed, touched his nose and said, "Isn't this king just taking office..." After speaking, he pulled his neck and rushed out the door and shouted, "Du Xingmin! Come in for this king!"

Before he finished speaking, one person walked in quickly from the door, and when he reached Li You, he bowed and asked, "What is your Highness calling for?"

Li You asked, "Can Dengzhou sailors usually go out to sea?"

Du Xingmin replied, "Naturally we have to patrol the waterway."

Li You looked at Fang Jun and said carelessly: "This is the military officer of Qizhou, what else is there, you can ask him!"

Fang Jun smiled and shook his head.

Li You waited for a while, and when he saw Fang Jun stopped talking, he reacted and scolded Du Xingmin, "Why don't you go and stay? You can hear the affairs of this king? Something you can't see. !"

Du Xingmin's face was flushed, and he said in his heart that you won't let me go, why do I dare to go?

Quickly bow down.

When Du Xingmin went out, Li You asked, "Why are you asking the sailor?"

Fang Jun asked back: "A certain dared to ask, His Highness is not short of money, why do you want to get this method of glass?"

"This one……"

Li You felt guilty for a while, and his face was embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.

Fang Jun took a sip of the already warm tea and said coldly, "If it's not bad, does Your Highness want to show off in front of Your Majesty?"

Li Youyi: "How do you know?"

It's like admitting it.

Sure enough!Fang Jun sighed softly.

Among Li Er's many sons, there is not a single straw bag. This Li You is already considered the most inferior... But he is still unwilling to be mediocre!

Even if he didn't see His Majesty Li Er's wish to feudalize the world, he thought he was sent to a far corner of Qizhou, and still wanted to do something to show His Majesty Li Er, he was not incompetent!

If you can get the method of glass and give it to His Majesty Li Er, it will be a great achievement!
Perhaps, in the future, when Li You is forced to rebel, he will probably have the idea of ​​"no matter how incompetent your son is, he can do something earth-shattering" and express his pride to his father in a twisted manner. .

A tragic boy...

So far, Fang Jun's impression of Li You has changed somewhat.

This person may not be doing his job properly, he may be mischievous, or he may be infamous, but apart from being instigated by a traitorous villain to kill Quan Wanji, there is no other evil deed.Even if they rebelled in the end, they did not resist with all their might, dragging Qizhou into war, and throwing countless people into dire straits.

His mistake may just be that he should not have been born in the family of an emperor...

Fang Jun sighed deeply and said, "His Royal Highness will go to Goryeo, Baekje, and Japan to sell glass products while cruising by the sailors. The source of the goods will be supplied by the Fang family, and the property will be divided into seventy-three percent.

This was Fang Jun's decision in a flash.

Glass is a top luxury item in this era.

Can it improve the development of culture?
Can it promote social progress?
Can it improve productivity?
Can't do anything, to put it bluntly, it's not the same with it...

Even so, Fang Jun never thought of making the price of glass more accessible to the people, and would only use it as a top luxury to accumulate wealth.

But glass has almost no technical difficulties and production constraints. Raw materials can be seen everywhere, and the output must be amazing. It is easy to oversupply in all parts of the Central Plains.

Export is the only way.

Dengzhou Port is a navy station, and Li You is a serious boss. Using the navy to traffic glass to East Asian countries is the best way to save time, effort and cost.As for whether there will be an impeachment by the censor for personal gain or something, I think that when a large amount of taxes are paid to the national treasury, His Majesty Li Er will also keep his mouth shut, closing the door and secretly having fun.

At this time, the Tang navy, with strong strength, was completely in a state of stocking. Except for the occasional clearing of small stocks of pirates, he basically had nothing to do, and no one paid attention to it.

It was not until His Majesty Li Er decided to go eastward to Korea that he brought the naval division under his nose, and the task given was only to transport food and grass...

Li Youqi said, "Why not sell it in the Tang Dynasty?"

Fang Jun hated that iron could not become steel, and Chunchun was enticing: "Where can you sell so many? Rare things are expensive, like Chinese cabbage everywhere, is it still valuable? It is worth at least the profit when it is transported so far across the ocean to other countries. It has tripled or quadrupled! And, this is only one of them! The most important thing, think about it, Your Highness, what will we get in return when we sell glass to these countries? Money, grain! Once there is war with these countries one day, Glass is completely waste, but money and grain are all military resources! Isn’t this a good strategy for the country, the people and oneself?”

Li You, who did not understand the theory of "war is to fight logistics", was so excited by Fang Jun's remarks.
