Chapter 122 Was it done by Zhu Xuntao?

He has to think it over carefully and then make use of it.

If he can get on the boat of Chief Minister Wei, his future will be limitless.

"I heard that the most popular shop in the capital now belongs to your second daughter?"

Chief Minister Wei did not speak in an official tone to Zhu Dingxing.

In the past, when Zhu Dingxing came to Chief Minister Wei, Chief Minister Wei didn't care to pay attention to him.

This time, he was willing to give Zhu Dingxing this opportunity. He didn't believe that Zhu Dingxing would not appreciate the fun.

"It seems so."

Zhu Dingxing also heard about this.

But everyone said so, it couldn't be false.

"Lord Wei wants to..."

ask him to help buy a life-size mirror through the back door?

Impossible!

No matter how novel the things in Zhu Xuntao's shop were, he believed that with the power of Wei Shoufu, it would be impossible for him not to buy these funny toys.

Zhu Dingxing did not speak carelessly to avoid being laughed at.

It was not easy to get a chance to get close to Wei Shoufu, and Zhu Dingxing did not want to miss it because of a joke.

"I wonder if you still remember the glass window used in the emperor's study?"

People like Wei Shoufu would naturally not take small things like silver mirrors seriously.

His ambition was very big.

"Of course."

Zhu Dingxing nodded. Compared with the silver mirror, this was simply a small witch meeting a big witch.

The silver mirror was the small witch, and the glass window was the big witch.

Zhu Dingxing was envious of the bright and clean study.

He dreamed of having such a study.

He believed that if he could work and read in such a room, his efficiency would be doubled.

Chief Wei smiled:

"Don't you think that this glass looks familiar?"

"What do you mean, Lord Wei?"

He didn't have the glass in his hand, so how could it look familiar?

"Is that so?"

Seeing that the confusion on Zhu Dingxing's face didn't seem to be fake, Chief Wei ordered someone to take out the silver mirror and a small piece of broken glass that had been prepared earlier:

"Since Lord Zhu hasn't looked at it carefully for comparison, why not take a closer look now?"

Zhu Dingxing had doubts in his heart, but he still pulled the silver mirror and glass in front of him to check.

At this glance, Zhu Dingxing discovered:

"This... this glass and the silver mirror seem to be of the same origin."

"To be more precise, the silver mirror is also made of glass, and something is painted on the glass?"

No wonder the chief assistant of the Wei asked him if the glass looked familiar?

"Your Excellency Zhu, your opinion is great, I think so too."

"This silver mirror, no matter how popular it is, is just something that the queen likes."

"But glass is very different, it can be used in all aspects, do you understand what this means?"

Zhu Dingxing was shocked, this means that he can make endless money!

Just because glass has so many uses.

How much glass is used in the emperor's study?

Such a quantity is not comparable to that of a silver mirror.

"It seems that the lords have figured it out."

The glass is being produced, and the specific price has not yet been announced.

Even so, Lord Wei Shoufu understands how much wealth it will bring.

Since this business belongs to the court, all the income from the glass goes into the national treasury.

Thinking about the fact that the national treasury has been in a tight spot for many years and has been greatly liberated this time, it is enough to imagine what kind of extraordinary achievement the person who presented the glass to the emperor has made.

Wei Shoufu's heart was eager to make a move. He wished that the person who made this achievement was one of his own, or even himself .

What a pity, what a pity.

Before the emperor called them to Yu's study, he didn't hear any news about the glass.

If he had just smelled a little bit of it, the glass would have been his long ago.

Wei Shoufu felt that such an extraordinary achievement was taken by an unknown person.

"Master Wei, what... do you mean?"

Chief Vice Minister Wei couldn't possibly want him to feel how much money he could make from glass, right?

Or maybe he wanted him to understand that mirrors are made of glass.

Wait...

Zhu Dingxing reacted, and Chief Vice Minister Wei seemed to have mentioned that the Silver Mirror Shop belonged to his second daughter Zhu Xuntao.

Chief Vice Minister Wei wouldn't think...

it was impossible!

"Master Wei, before today, I have never seen these two things."

"Master Zhu, have you really never seen them?"

Chief Vice Minister Wei didn't believe it.

After his speculation and verification, he found that these two things were closely related to Zhu Xuntao, the new Crown Prince's Consort who had just entered the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion.

And Zhu Xuntao was Zhu Dingxing's daughter.

Ever since the silver mirror came out, he sent people to research the recipe for making the silver mirror.

So far, there has been no result, but Wei Shoufu is not discouraged.

Can something that can be made so easily be valuable?

Until the advent of glass, Wei Shoufu could no longer sit still.

The silver mirror fell behind Zhu Xuntao, but he must not miss the glass again.

The craftsman he found said that glass is a very rare thing.

If there is no formula, let alone giving them a month, even a year, ten years, or even a hundred years, they may not be able to make it.

Wei Shoufu does not have that much time to wait.

Since the person he found is useless and can't even research the formula for something that already exists.

Then he could only think of a way to "grab" the ready-made one.

The glass business could not be monopolized by the imperial court, and he wanted to have a share of it.

"No."

Zhu Dingxing was just short of swearing to Wei Shoufu.

Wei Shoufu frowned:

"Now that the glass has been presented to the emperor, the credit also belongs to you, Lord Zhu. No one can take it away. Why do you want to deceive me?"

His people couldn't figure it out, but Zhu Xuntao found someone to make it.

There is no doubt that Zhu Xuntao must have spent more than a day and a night, and must have spent a lot of effort.

Zhu Xuntao's things are so big, whether it is glass or silver mirror,

just take out one, Zhu Dingxing will either make a fortune or get promoted with it.

So, how could Zhu Xuntao not have told Zhu Dingxing?

How could a young lady from a noble family have such a hidden ability? Did Zhu Dingxing want to play a trick on him?

Zhu Dingxing didn't know that Chief Minister Wei thought of him so much, otherwise, he would have cried in front of Chief Minister Wei.

Zhu Dingxing gritted his teeth and said, "If Lord Wei doesn't believe me, I am willing to swear on my official position."

"If even one word I say is false, I will be stripped of this official uniform and will never be allowed to serve as an official in the court again."

Didn't he want the silver mirror and glass to have anything to do with him?

That was clearly a dream he didn't dare to realize!

Knowing that Zhu Dingxing was obsessed with power, Chief Minister Wei couldn't help but believe that Zhu Dingxing could make such an oath.

He sighed quietly:

"The Crown Prince's Consort is indeed someone who can make silver mirrors and glass. She has such a trick that she even hid it from you, her biological father."

"No wonder the Emperor likes glass so much, but never mentions you."

"What a pity, it's such a great contribution."

"You could have gotten the Emperor's reward with the glass."

Zhu Dingxing's hand trembled, and the tea in the cup spilled:

"Lord Wei, do you mean... that the glass was made by my daughter Zhu Xuntao?"
