    "Master, please see, this is the glass refined by Wu Nu!" A man dressed in Tang Dynasty with jet-black skin held up a crystal clear glass product and bowed to Li Min standing in front of him with a flattering expression, revealing  The two rows of yellow teeth shine in the sun, looking very funny.  A boy next to him immediately stepped forward, carefully took the glass product, and then handed it to Li Min.

    Li Min took the glass product and looked at it, and found that it was a strange-shaped glass water cup, like a horn, with a seat underneath. It looked very simple, but the water cup had good permeability.  It is no worse than the crystal used by Li Min to make mirrors.

    Li Min nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on his face, and said to the black man who called himself Wunu: "Well, you did a good job. You have worked hard this month. Work hard. I will let someone give you a job after a while."  Get a household registration from Tang Dynasty."

    "Thank you, Master. Wu Nu will work hard and strive to build the glass workshop you asked for as soon as possible." After hearing Li Min's praise and promise, Wu Nu immediately knelt down in gratitude, kowtowing and said loudly.

    This black slave's name was Unu. He had been a slave in a glass factory in Persia since he was a child. He was very proficient in making glass. However, for unknown reasons, the owner of the glass factory suffered a great disaster and everyone in his family was killed.  The property under his name was also auctioned, and of course he was part of the auction as a slave. As a result, he was bought by a traveling businessman, and was later brought to the Tang Dynasty. He lived in Chang'an for nearly ten years and spoke Chinese very well.  Luo, but when facing Li Min, he insisted on calling him master, because in his opinion, master is the person he calls the most respected. As for His Highness, Prince, etc., no such master can reflect his respect.

    Looking at Wu Nu¡¯s performance, Li Min was very satisfied. That Hu Shang wanted to blackmail Wang Xijun.  Unfortunately, Li Min later handed over the matter to Li Yong. As a result, the greedy businessman immediately provoked a severe beating after he proposed his conditions to Li Yong. Then Li Yong took people to Hu Shang's house and found the black slave.  Then he took it out without giving the other party a penny.

    However, after the incident, Li Min still asked someone to send the Hu businessman two thousand dollars. It was not that he was unwilling to pay the money, but he just felt that the Hu businessman was too greedy.  That's why he asked Li Yong to teach him a lesson, but after the lesson, he still had to give the money anyway. He didn't want people to say that he was a dignified king of Liang who was bullying others.

    After getting this Wu Nu.  Li Min immediately started building the glass factory, and the location was chosen next to the cement factory affiliated to the Cement Supervision Institute.  There are people who make glass, but due to geographical differences, the materials used to make glass are slightly different. Therefore, Wu Nu has been proportioning glass raw materials this month, and today he finally made a glass that meets Li Min's requirements.  The glass comes out.

    Next, under the leadership of Wu Nuhe, the steward in charge of the glass factory, Li Min visited the glass factory and found that the process of burning glass is somewhat similar to steel-making, in that various raw materials must be mixed and melted into a liquid state.  The only difference is that steel can be forged multiple times after being formed, while glass needs to be blown into various required shapes at once while it is cooling.

    After visiting the glass factory, Li Min took a few pretty glass products and planned to go back and give them to Xiao Wenxin and Wen'er to play with.  At the same time, he also ordered Wu Nu to work hard to make flat glass for mirrors and glass with the highest transparency during this period. He will be of great use in a while.

    After riding away from the glass factory, Li Min looked at the scenery along the road, but his mind was thinking about what had happened in the past month.  After his wedding.  Sure enough, I received a very precise news. During the Chinese New Year this year, there will be a big change in the fiefdoms and titles of their princes.  According to the inside information obtained by Li Min, he is likely to be named the King of Han, the governor of Zhengzhou, and serve as an official for one year.

    From this fiefdom, we can see Li Shimin's preference for Li Min. Zhengzhou is very close to Luoyang. Now the cement road from Chang'an to Luoyang will be repaired soon. By then, it will only take a few days to go from Chang'an to Luoyang Kuaima.  Therefore, Li Min could return to Chang'an at any time. After Concubine Yang knew the news, she called Li Min into the palace very excitedly and told him to come back often after he went to the fiefdom. Xiao Yu was also very happy and ran to Li Min.  I was so drunk there that I went back.

    However, Li Min himself was not satisfied with this fiefdom. Although Zhengzhou was a good place and the iron smelting industry there was very prosperous. If Li Min went there, he would definitely be able to make a career, but this was not in line with Li Min's wishes.  As for his previous plan, he had been studying the map of the Tang Dynasty during this period in order to find a good place for himself. As for changing the fiefdom, Li Min had already thought of a way, and he would definitely be able to persuade the emperor's father.

    Just when Li Min and his people were heading towards the city gate, on the official road from Taiyuan to Chang'an, a convoy of more than a dozen carriages was slowly driving towards Chang'an City. The front one was carryingSitting on the carriage was a young man in his twenties, handsome and as handsome as jade. He was none other than Wang Kuang of Taiyuan.

    The Wang family invested a large amount of money in the coal mine. As soon as they made some profits, they were knocked into the abyss by Li Min's series of combination punches. If the cost invested in the coal mine could not be recovered, it would be difficult for the Taiyuan Wang family, which had long been unable to make ends meet.  Said it was definitely a fatal blow.  However, Wang Kuang suddenly discovered that the other party did not seem to intend to kill the Wang family, but had hinted at a glimmer of hope for them. However, whether they could seize this glimmer of hope would all depend on the performance of the Taiyuan Wang family.

    But everyone understands that if you want to seize this glimmer of vitality, you will definitely have to pay a very heavy price. In order to convince the uncles in the clan, Wang Kuang spent all his money.  In the end, he finally managed to get everyone to agree that he would represent the Taiyuan Wang family and have full authority to handle this matter. So he decided to come to Li Min in person for a frank meeting to see what kind of sacrifice he would have to make.  At what price would Li Min be willing to let the Wang family go?

    We are about to arrive in Chang'an, but Wang Kuang's face is full of solemnity. After his first contact with Li Min, he said from the bottom of his heart that he admires Li Min's knowledge very much. Occasionally, he thinks of what Li Min said.  He couldn't help but yearn for the bizarre overseas world. Since he gave up the imperial examination, he turned all his interests to doing business and exploring the local customs and customs of various places. Now, almost all of them exist in the entire Tang Dynasty and even in several surrounding countries.  He has left his footprints, but he has never been to the sea.

    However, I admire him. The thought of negotiating with the learned and almost demonic King Liang gave Wang Kuang a headache. He had not yet figured out how to visit Li Min's house. Going directly to Li Min's house would not work. It would be better to have a  Someone familiar with both parties took him there. He thought about it, and finally he only thought of Mrs. Wang in the Duke of Song Dynasty, who was Li Min's nominal mother-in-law.

    Mrs. Wang is Wang Kuang's cousin, and it would be best for her to take him to Li Min's house. However, Wang Kuang also knows that his cousin is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Back then, because of the neglect of her mother's family, she treated them in Taiyuan.  Wang was very dissatisfied. It would definitely not be an easy task to persuade her to do such a big favor for him.

    Just when Wang Kuang was thinking about what kind of gift he should give to Mrs. Wang, and how to present it skillfully when he got to her, he suddenly felt the car shake and stop. At the same time, there was a burst of shouting outside.  .

    Wang Kuang felt strange and asked his servant to open the car door. He jumped out of the car and found that the gate of Chang'an City was right in front of him, but in front of the city gate there were people crowded with refugees. He suddenly remembered that it seemed to be Jinzhou in the south of Chang'an this autumn.  Although the disaster was not serious, many victims still fled from their hometown because of lack of food and clothing. It is estimated that these refugees came from Jinzhou.

    "Sir, something happened at the gate of the city. It seems that a refugee bumped into a nobleman and was scolded by the guards around the nobleman." The servant Wang Kuang sent out to inquire about the news came back quickly and said with a salute.

    "Oh? Let's go take a look!" Wang Kuang saw that the road was crowded with refugees. Their dozen or so large vehicles couldn't pass at all. Waiting was just waiting. He might as well go to the front and take a look. If he could persuade him, he could persuade him.  After all, it was getting late, and if the city gate was closed after dark, they would have to camp outside the city.

    The servant agreed, and he and a few others opened the way in front, and soon protected Wang Kuang to the scene of the incident.

    But to Wang Kuang's surprise, he thought he would see a picture of a wealthy family's slaves beating refugees. Unexpectedly, what he saw was a few refugees chewing dry food while shouting at the group of people on horseback.  grateful.  What surprised Wang Kuang even more was that he actually knew the leader of the cavalry. It was Li Min, the king of Liang, who had stunned him last time.

    After Li Min left the glass factory, he was thinking about something while riding on his horse. When he arrived at the city gate, he was not paying attention for a moment, and there were so many refugees. As a result, the horse hit a thin teenage girl. The guards behind him didn't care.  Whoever was right or wrong immediately shouted at the girl.  The girl and her family were frightened when they saw Li Min wearing fresh clothes and an angry horse, with a team of guards behind him. They were frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy, asking Li Min not to blame him. This made him very depressed. It was obviously his fault, but the other party begged first.  Own?

    At that moment, Li Min scolded the guard a few words, and then asked someone to take out the dry food on his body and distribute it to the refugee family. At the same time, he also learned from the behavior of later generations of leaders who were close to the people, dismounted from his horse, held the girl's hand, and said some words of comfort.  She and her family.  Of course, he did not forget to tell the other party that he was Li Min, King of Liang, so that the family could publicize him in the future and let others know how much he loved the people like a son.

    Although it was inappropriate to hold a girl's hand, Li Min could swear that this girl was really average-looking, thin, dark, and not pretty at all. Even looking at their family, they all had dirty and messy hair.  Li Min was afraid that they would spread the lice to him.Actually, he was not afraid of being a man, but he was afraid of passing it on to Wen Xin and the others when he got home, so he had to take a shower first after going back this time.

    Just when Li Min was riding back to his house to take a shower, he suddenly saw Wang Kuang in the crowd. A friendly smile appeared on his face and he laughed loudly: "Hahaha~, Brother Wang, long time no see. I didn't expect to be here today."  I have been waiting for you for many days to meet you!" (To be continued)!  ~!
