Li Muyun glanced at the two brothers silently: "You have discussed it" Xiong Da and Xiong Er glanced at each other, and knelt on one knee: "Please take it in."
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Li Muyun nodded secretly in his heart, and waited for a while before nodding and saying, "Okay, since this is the case, you will follow Muyu for the time being." ” "No" Xiong Er agreed, and the little girl who restrained Xiong Da yesterday flashed in his mind, although in terms of age, the little girl didn't seem to be as big as his sister at home, but he didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect.
Li Muyun watched coldly, thinking that this Xiong Er is big, Xiong Er is bigger than the bear in the cartoon, Xiong Er is much more reliable, don't look at these two guys are just running the rivers and lakes, but aside from the value of force, in terms of scheming alone, this guy is definitely one of the best people around him.
There are two reasons for this judgment, one is that the two of them know very well what they want; The second is to know how to give up.
As the saying goes, you can't have both, although power and money are not separated, you can often only choose one when choosing, the Xiong brothers in front of Li Muyun obviously chose power, so they decisively gave up the temptation of money, although the sum of the money is likely to exceed 10,000.
In addition, the two brothers chose to take Hu Shang out of the city when they tied him up, and they didn't blindly want to bring the money out to invite merit, which is also the smart place for the two, after all, it is easy to be suspected of carrying a lot of things on their backs, and the glass thing is very brittle, and it will be broken if you are not careful, so it is the most correct choice not to bring it out.
It was precisely because of this that Li Muyun agreed to the request of the two of them and took them as his subordinates.
Mu Xin came back quickly, and after that Hu Shang went through a wash, he became much more energetic, but when he saw the Xiong family brothers standing behind Li Muyun, his wrinkled face immediately tightened.
Li Muyun glanced at Hu Shang with some amusement, and asked unhurriedly, "What's your name?"
Hu Shang had come back to his senses at this time, fell to the ground with a pop, snapped two mouthfuls according to Li Muyun's shoes, raised his head and said sincerely: "Back to the master, I, my name is Ai Ze." ” If he didn't know the etiquette of some people in the Western Regions, Li Muyun almost kicked the girl out, but even so, he was still taken aback, waved his hand to signal Hu Shang to get up, and then said: "Ai Ze, you don't need to do this kind of gift here in the future, do you understand?"
"Understood, the master is magnanimous, and your mind is worthy of God's" Seeing that Ai Ze's guy had a desire to show his talent as a bard, Li Muyun hurriedly interrupted him: "Okay, stop, I'll ask you, did you burn all the glass in your store?"
Ai Ze chuckled in his heart, what he was most worried about before still happened, Liuli, sure enough, because of those glasses.
Xiong Da, Xiong Er dutifully stood behind Li Muyun, and when he saw Hu Ren Ai Ze's eyes rolling wildly but he didn't say a word, he immediately shouted: "Hey, the Lord asked you, stupid."
"Ah, yes, it's the villain who burns it, but, but the villain is only responsible for mastering the temperature of the furnace, and the others only know some processes, and if you want to burn out glass products, you also need some skilled workers."
In order to save his life, Aize could only answer truthfully.
He knew that he had to be useful, otherwise he would never be given a chance to speak again under these nobles who treated human life as if they were a sloppy person.
And Li Muyun wanted exactly what he said, and when he heard that he could control the temperature, he immediately said happily: "It's good, as long as you can control the temperature of the furnace, you will be in charge of the glass factory in the palace in the future." ” "Ah Wang, Wangfu" Ai Ze naturally does not think that the palace is the residence of the surname Wang, because in the Tang Dynasty, except for the prince who can use the palace, the rest of the people will not have such a title at all.
So Ai Ze was really frightened this time, he never thought that the person in front of him was actually a prince.
Li Muyun pointed to Mu Xin beside him at this time: "You can find her if you need anything, her name is Mu Xin, in short, within ten days, the first batch of colorless glass must be burned out, the shape and style are not important, as long as it is glass." ” "Lord, master."
Ai Ze called out tentatively, and seeing that Li Muyun didn't have any special reaction, he continued: "Master, I really don't know what the glass villain you said is, no, I don't know how to burn it." ” Li Muyun remembered the chemical composition of glass, but considering that this thing didn't seem to have much effect when he told a person more than 1,300 years ago, and it was a nonsense person, Li Muyun gave up decisively and said directly: "Glass is a kind of glass, so you just need to burn it according to your previous method, don't add dyes or anything, remember, I only need to be colorless, I understand it."
Ai Ze was stunned by what he said, and asked in a daze: "Then, there is no fuel, and there is no process, burned, and what is burned is waste, product, this, this is useless." ” "You don't have to worry if it's useful or not, just let you get it."
Li Muyun gradually lost his patience, and after thinking about it, he said: "You will go back to the city in a while, close the shops in the city for the time being, and wait until things are almost done here, and I won't care about you if you open again." ” Ai Ze could barely believe his ears and muttered, "Master, you mean, I can still continue to open the shop and my things are still there" Xiong Da stood behind Li Muyun, and when he saw Ai Ze asking endlessly, he shouted in a rough voice: "Why do you talk so much nonsense, tell you that you can do it, don't hurry up and do things." ” Speaking from the heart, if it weren't for the Xiong brothers' initiative to give up, the things in the glass shop should have belonged to them at this time, the more Ai Ze grinded here, the more the Xiong brothers' hearts hurt, and there was nothing that couldn't be figured out by scolding him.
Because Ai Ze didn't know what the relationship between the Xiong brothers and Li Muyun was, he didn't dare to talk back when he was scolded, he just shrunk his neck and said yes, and finally followed the housekeeper Lao Xia away.
After all, it was still early now, and he should be able to go back before the city gate closed, thinking of the way the door was wide open when he came out, Ai Ze's heart had already flown back to the city.
That's it, Li Muyun recruited three subordinates for nothing, Xiong Da and Xiong Er became Mu Yu's followers, and that Hu Shang Ai Ze became a cash cow for a period of time in the future.
And I have to say that this guy's skills are really good, Li Muyun gave him ten days, but it only took less than a day and a half for a strangely shaped glass ball to be sent into the palace and placed in front of Li Muyun.
Looking at the thing in front of him, Li Muyun picked it up and weighed it in his hand a few times, and asked suspiciously: "What is this?"
"That's the glass you want."
Aize probed his head and said.
"This is glass" Li Muyun looked at Ai Ze with his eyes: "Why do I look like a broken stone." ” Ai Ze felt a little aggrieved, and said with a bitter face: "Don't add anything you said, just burn it out, so, that's why it's like this." ” Li Muyun sighed, and put the strangely shaped thing in his hand on the table: "But where is the transmittance I said, what is the difference between your thing on the ground and a stone, and then Lao Tzu said that if you don't need to process it, you won't process it, so you can polish it for Lao Tzu too."
Ai Ze looked at the disappointed Li Muyun and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that this unhappy person would pull him out and cut off his head, two days was enough time for him to figure out who he was loyal to, and the three words of King Xiaoyao were simply a nightmare for them foreigners.
Li Muyun didn't know what his newly acquired subordinate was thinking, but the outside world's rumors about him were true, he really didn't have a good face for the foreign clan, and he received Ai Ze into his subordinates to burn glass, if he didn't even have this ability, he didn't mind giving his property to the Xiong brothers, and the fertilizer and water would not flow into the fields of outsiders.
After a while, Aize seemed to have figured it out, and said with a snort: "Master, please give me some more time, this time the villain will definitely do his best to burn it well, and he will definitely burn the glass that satisfies the master." ” "Hmm" Li Muyun hummed casually: "Remember, if the transmittance can't reach the level of transparent crystal, you can roll up and go back to your hometown by yourself, don't let Lao Tzu send someone to send you on the road." ” Ai Ze trembled in fright, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the villain understands, the villain must do his best." ” Next, the glaze workshop in an unknown village outside the city began to work day and night, and Aize was stationed in the village sleeplessly, firing a large number of colorless glaze every day.
No matter what Li Muyun called it, Ai Ze firmly believed that what he was burning was colored glass, and the difference was that his new master had some quirks, as long as it was transparent.
But having said that, no one has ever asked for transparency in the past glass firing, which really makes Ai Ze a little embarrassed, and the glass has been burned batch after batch, but none of the batches can meet Li Muyun's requirements.
As a last resort, Ai Ze began to try to improve the formula for his own life, removing the materials that must be used the same, to see if he could make the glass transparent, anyway, his new master only wants light transmittance, and the requirements for the rest of the shapes are not high, and it doesn't even matter if there are cracks.
That's it, Aize stayed by the hearth for ten days, as if he was going to burn himself, and when the deadline came, the merchant from the Western Regions was already emaciated and out of human form, all relying on a desire to survive, he ordered someone to open the furnace and take out the last furnace of glass from it
