Standing in the court of Da Qi again, Lu Chen was a little confused.
Are all the civil and military officials of the Great Qi Dynasty really that idle? Don't they have to deal with state affairs all day? What's the point of picking a fight with a fake Taoist like me?
Lu Chen was just discussing with a group of craftsmen how to standardize the prescription of glasses. Just when he had some idea about it, he was dragged here by a group of young eunuchs in a daze.
Looking at the civil and military officials in the court, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. He really wanted to ask, "What tricks are you planning to pull this time?"
Li Zhuo looked at Lu Chen, who looked like he had eaten magpie shit, with the corners of his mouth almost stretched behind his ears.
He didn't rush to talk business directly, but smiled and nodded at Lu Chen and said, "Master Lu, what have you been busy with recently? Are there any inconveniences in your life? If so, please tell me, and I will definitely help you solve it."
Lu Chen pinched his chin and thought about it. It seemed that there was really no need for special care in his life. After all, he had been taken care of. Now he had no worries about food and clothing, and he had a large group of people under his command. He had fully understood the pleasures of the privileged class in feudal society.
The only thing that bothers him is that his interpersonal relationships are not wide. The people he knows now are all people in the court, and there is no fun in his daily life.
A few days ago, he heard that there was an event at the brothel because of the victory, and he wanted to join in the fun, but after looking around, he couldn't find anyone who could take him.
At that time, I wanted to go with Mou Ping, but Mou Ping's face turned green.
Thinking about it later, asking a eunuch to accompany him to a brothel was indeed a bit too much.
Because he was unable to go to that place, Lu Chen felt quite resentful.
It was clearly my invention that won the battle, so why shouldn’t I get a share of this discount?
"Your Majesty, the court has treated me very generously. Besides, as a monk, I don't have many material needs. My subordinates, on the other hand, work very hard. If Your Majesty wishes to reward them, please do so."
As a leader, you cannot eat alone. If you want others to love you and be willing to work hard for you, then you must be able to lead everyone to live a good life.
Such a simple truth now spoken by Lu Chen moved Li Zhuo deeply.
Glancing at the civil and military officials of the dynasty, Li Zhuo excitedly said, "Listen, everyone! Look! What does it mean to be a master? What does it mean to be an immortal? Master Lu, please rest assured that I will not treat these people unfairly. In fact, you only need to tell me what you want, and I will make the arrangements for the rest."
"Yes, yes, Master Lu, I wonder if there's enough money and food. Coincidentally, when I had someone check the treasury a while ago, I just happened to find a batch of unused funds. How about allocating them to you?"
"Are the people under Master Lu still available? If you're short on manpower, just let me know. Our Ministry of Works doesn't have much else, but we have plenty of craftsmen. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll send someone over to you right away."
"Master Lu's Holy Grace Pill has saved many soldiers. I wonder if Master Lu is free these days? How about we meet at my house?"
"Master Lu, to be honest, my grandfather is also a Taoist priest. I am also very interested in Taoism. I wonder if I can learn a thing or two from you?"
Looking at the flattering expressions of these old guys in front of him, Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat!
What's going on? Did these people take the wrong medicine today?
Anything abnormal must be a demon!
The thing that could make these grandsons so fawning must be quite important.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen simply bowed to Li Zhuo and said, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly. If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said excitedly, "I do have a small matter that I would like to trouble Master Lu with. Can a magical item like the telescope be mass-produced?"
Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, I thought it was something else, but this is it?
He nodded without hesitation and said, "As long as we have enough manpower and materials, mass production will definitely be no problem!"
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court were delighted. Li Zhuo couldn't wait to ask, "I wonder how much such a magical item would cost?"
It's just two pieces of fucking glass, how expensive can it be? This thing is made of sand!
Lu Chen originally wanted to answer like this, but then he thought again, he had made a mistake last time on the Saint Endan, and he couldn't make the same mistake again this time.
So he cleared his throat and said, "For now, the technology is still somewhat difficult, so the cost will be relatively high. If it can be mass-produced, I can reduce the cost to within one hundred taels of silver."
After saying that, Lu Chen stopped talking. He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually very panicked inside.
The cost price of a telescope would not exceed one hundred coins at most, but he asked for one hundred taels. To be honest, even he felt that he was really heartless.
However, the reactions of the emperor and his ministers in the Great Qi Dynasty once again far exceeded Lu Chen's expectations.
Li Zhuo's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said excitedly, "Master Lu, are you serious? Such a divine item only costs a mere hundred taels of silver?!"
Just a hundred taels of silver?
Well, Lu Chen could only say that people’s joys and sorrows were not the same. In his opinion, it was already a heartless price, but for Li Zhuo and the others, it was actually a conscience price.
Lu Chen suddenly understood how Rabbit felt when he sold the missiles to the dog tycoon.
It seems that I should be bolder when quoting my price next time. The bold will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation. Isn’t that the truth?
