Chapter 28 Departure from Lantian
Just then, Li Shimin saw the strangeness of the cement, and Lu Jinghe felt the opportunity was very good. He said, "Your Majesty, I need a piece of land to build a factory."
Lu Jinghe had long planned the location for the glass factory, and Lantian County outside Chang'an City was a good choice.
The moon shines brightly over the vast sea, pearls seem to weep; the sun warms the fields of Lantian, jade seems to emit smoke.
This refers to Lantian, where jade is said to be born.
This place is rich in jade.
But it is not limited to jade.
The Lantian mountain area has abundant quartz veins and kaolin.
This is the main material used in glass manufacturing.
Furthermore, Lantian County is located on the outskirts of Chang'an City, at a perfect distance.
The area is vast and suitable for building large-scale "multi-stage temperature-controlled sealed kilns".
This type of kiln has many advantages, the biggest of which is avoiding oxidation defects and increasing the yield of finished glass.
Given Lu Jinghe's capabilities, it should be relatively easy to build.
Choosing this location for the glass factory will allow us to quickly achieve large-scale production capabilities.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Li Shimin knew that Lu Jinghe did not intend to set up his glass factory in Chang'an, but elsewhere.
Judging from what he said, he's probably already chosen the address.
"Where do you plan to build it?" Li Shimin asked, sounding like he knew exactly what was going on. "If it's suitable, then it's approved."
"I plan to go to Lantian."
"Lantian County? What are you going there for?"
In Li Shimin's memory, Lantian County seemed to have no other special features besides jade.
"Lantian has abundant quartz veins and kaolin."
"These are the things you need to make glass."
"I plan to do it over there."
Li Shimin rested his chin on his hand, Lantian—
It's not a good situation. If it's near Chang'an, no one will care if he does it under the guise of a prince or princess doing business.
But outside Chang'an—Lantian—
It's a bit tricky. Although no one can stop him if he wants to, the pain in his ears is unbearable, and his ears might even develop calluses from all the rubbing.
"Is Your Majesty facing some difficulties?" Lu Jinghe asked, noticing Li Shimin's constipated appearance. "Actually, Your Majesty is overcomplicating this matter."
"We can shoot the arrows first and then draw the target."
"Shoot the arrow first, then draw the target?" Li Shimin wondered. What did that mean? How could he shoot the arrow first and then draw the target? Granting that piece of land to Lu Jinghe would definitely not escape the eyes of those ministers.
"Your Majesty, my glass factory is naturally located in the mountains, so no one would normally pay attention to it."
"By the time those ministers notice what happened in Lantian, will they still have the power to resist?" Lu Jinghe asked rhetorically. Obviously not, the factory was already built and the business was already underway.
They can forcibly demolish your factory?
"Okay." Li Shimin felt that it was probably a good idea, so he decided to let Lu Jinghe do it. With the kid's abilities, there shouldn't be anything that could stop him.
"Your Majesty, I plan to visit Lantian tomorrow."
Lu Jinghe said that, deep down, he felt that he absolutely had to go to Lantian.
After these people left, he felt he should do a divination; it seemed rather interesting.
"Granted. Do you need me to send guards?" Li Shimin immediately realized that it was unnecessary. Given Lu Jinghe's ability to toss Cheng Yaojin around like a ball, who did he need to protect him?
"Never mind, I don't think it's necessary." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I was originally planning to let Sizi stay here, but you're going to Lantian tomorrow—"
"I can bring Xiao Sizi along."
Li Shimin looked at Lu Jinghe with a dark face and asked, "Where are you taking Xiao Sizi?"
He suddenly felt that Lu Jinghe was a bit unreliable. Sizi was still so young, and he actually wanted to take her to the mountains and fields.
"No, you go yourself."
The following day, Lu Jinghe, along with Gao Yang, Xiao Zhouzi, and the third wheel Cheng Chumo, were preparing to board the carriage to Lantian County.
Just as Lu Jinghe was about to get into the car, he saw Cheng Chumo grinning foolishly and said with displeasure, "What are you doing following me here?"
"Hehe—Brother Lu, Chang'an is so boring."
Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "Well, my father was worried that you might be in danger, so he specifically asked His Majesty for permission to come and protect you."
Lu Jinghe rolled his eyes at Cheng Chumo and said, "You."
He really wanted to punch Cheng Chumo.
Last night, after Cheng Yaojin left with Cheng Chumo, Li Shimin and the others did not leave. Instead, they had dinner at Lu Jinghe's house.
While cooking, Lu Jinghe wondered what the point was of going out and venturing into the deep mountains.
Then, during the meal, he kept pouring wine for Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.
-
They were drinking high-proof liquor brewed by Lu Jinghe in his spare time. Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had never seen anything like it before, and they were overjoyed.
Lu Jinghe kept pouring drinks for him while rambling on about random things, but he only had one purpose from beginning to end.
Taking Gao Yang to Lantian County, regardless of the trouble that might arise from bringing a princess, was not a problem for him.
With Gao Yang by your side, it's pleasing to the eye, to say the least.
The space inside the carriage was not large, with two rows of wooden chairs facing each other.
Sunlight streamed through the curtains into the car, creating a shimmering effect.
Gao Yang was the one who was flashed.
The sunlight shone on her fair, jade-like skin, making it look extremely delicate and almost radiant.
Gao Yang did not sit upright like a normal woman, but leaned lazily against the cushion.
These subtle, unintentional details are exactly what Lu Jinghe likes; he simply enjoys them.
Gao Yang seemed a bit fake a few days ago, or rather, she was putting on an act, trying to hide her true nature, though not very successfully.
If they're already climbing into a man's bed in the middle of the night, what's the point of pretending to be serious?
She was pretending to be tired. Anyway, Lu Jinghe knew what she should be like normally, so she could just do whatever she felt comfortable with.
Moreover, she discovered that the more at ease she acted, the more Lu Jinghe liked her.
Look at him now, he's been on the bus for a while now, and his eyes haven't left her the entire time.
Gao Yang felt a little proud, thinking: Look, my charm is amazing.
"Brother, is Sister Gao Yang pretty?" At this moment, Xiao Sizi suddenly interjected, climbing onto Lu Jinghe's lap and standing up with some dissatisfaction.
Xiao Sizi blocked Lu Jinghe's way, preventing him from seeing Gao Yang.
"Isn't Xiaoshizi pretty?! Why do you only look at Sister Gaoyang and not me?!"
Little Sizi stood with her hands on her hips, huffing and puffing, and said, "Persimmon wore a new dress today!"
Lu Jinghe scratched his head; he really hadn't noticed.
All he saw was Gao Yang wearing a pale yellow dress, with her fluffy hair reaching her waist; she looked very beautiful.
This color scheme is not something most people can pull off, but Gao Yang pulled it off perfectly.
She looked radiant and stunningly beautiful.
"The Rhinoceros is very beautiful. Jinghe just wanted to save the precious parts for later," Gao Yang said with a smile, defending Lu Jinghe.
Xiao Sizi felt something was off, but couldn't pinpoint the problem, so she could only nod happily and sit down next to Lu Jinghe.
"If you like it, Persimmon will wear a pretty dress every day!"
"OK."
