Your Highness, Are You Interested in Doing Business?
Suspicion rose in his heart. Gu Hao recalled the bet with the envoy of the Cheshi Kingdom last night. He felt that the envoy mentioned the bet and brought up Gail. Bagatore's gift seemed too deliberate.
"Spies?"
This word appeared in Gu Hao's mind.
"Is it related to the Turks, or does the Cheshi Kingdom have intentions?”
"And why did you come looking for me?"
"Wouldn't we be able to get more information if we give such a beauty to Li Er or a prince or minister?”
"Could it be that I guessed wrong? She's actually very innocent?”
He looked at Gail, who brought him water to wash his face. Gu Hao suppressed his doubts. Bagado served him stiffly and finished washing up in the morning.
When the two of them arrived at the antique shop, Old Chen had already sorted out the gifts and visiting cards.
"There are a total of fifty-three visiting cards and thirty-eight gifts.”Elder Chen chuckled as he introduced," 16 of the gifts are quite valuable. The rest are mostly ordinary gifts and some delicacies such as pastries…"
Gu Hao glanced at the pastries on the counter, and the lunchbox that Princess Chang Le had prepared for him appeared in his mind.
"You should have prepared it today."
Gu Hao thought to himself.
"Eat these pastries. Don't waste them.”
Gu Hao instructed.
"Haha, thank you, Lord Gu.”
Elder Chen didn't stand on ceremony.
He knew that Princess Changle had been preparing breakfast for this scholar recently.
Gail, who had put on her black veil again. Bagado hesitated for a moment before walking to the counter and tasting a piece of white pastry.
Gu Hao looked at Gail, who was holding a pastry in one hand and lifting her veil with the other. Bagado, it felt quite interesting.
Just now, Gail…When Bagatuo was helping him wash up, she did not cover her face.
"Is this a honey trap?"
Gu Hao felt a little strange.
Not long after, Old Chen and Gail. Bagado stopped eating.
"Stay here and familiarize yourself with the antique shop.”
Gu Hao glanced at Gail. Bagado ordered.
Gail Bagado nodded slightly.
………
Sitting in a luxurious carriage, Gu Hao arrived in front of the Imperial City.
"Good morning, Lord Gu!"
As soon as he got off the carriage, an official greeted him warmly.
"Morning."
Gu Hao replied with a smile.
With his previous experience of being as busy as a market, Gu Hao completely understood…
The current him was extremely popular!
Along the way, the officials they met were all very enthusiastic.
Gu Hao replied with a smile.
Even though he didn't know most of the people who greeted him.
When he arrived at Hongwen Hall, Gu Hao met several great scholars who wanted to talk to him about poetry.
He went to his superior's room where he had to clock in…
"Hehe, do you feel that your colleagues are very enthusiastic?”
Gu Hao's boss, Xiao Deyan, asked with a smile.
"He is a little enthusiastic."
Gu Hao nodded and smiled.
In front of this superior who gave him ten thousand taels of silver with a wave of his hand, Gu Hao was still very sincere.
" It's human nature. The incident at last night's banquet has already spread. Now, everyone knows that you're the favorite of His Majesty and the Empress..." Xiao Deyan joked.
Gu Hao smiled.
He knew that this was only one aspect.
Some people were enthusiastic because they had already seen the value of the crystal cups and wine.
The two chatted for a while before Gu Hao returned to his office.
Just as he was flipping through a book, the person he had expected appeared in his field of vision.
Men's edition. Princess Li Lizhi of Changle.
"Why aren't you giggling today?"
Li Lizhi asked with a smile.
Gu Hao glanced at the lunchbox in the other party's hand and decided to be generous. He replied to this slightly stupid question,"
"Because I already saw the silly smile.”
Gu Hao looked at Li Lizhi and said.
"Um…"
Li Lizhi reacted and glared at him.
Gu Hao took the food box without hesitation.
After a feast…
"The imperial food in the palace is pretty good.”
Gu Hao praised.
The only drawback was that the amount was a little small.
Li Lizhi pouted when she heard Gu Hao's praise, but she was quite happy inside.
"Are you going to give a lecture today?"
Li Lizhi asked curiously.
Ever since Gu Hao became a post-doctor, he had only given a proper lecture once.
"If there's nothing else, I'll probably tell him." Gu Hao muttered.”
He felt that Li Shimin would have many questions to ask, so the possibility of summoning him was very high.
When it was near Si, no one came to look for him.
"It seems that I overestimated Li Er's business sense.”
Gu Hao thought to himself.
Whether it was the glass cup or the wine he brewed, once it was mass-produced, it would definitely be popular all over the world. The value it created would be immeasurable.
"Go to the school. You go first. I'll be there in a while.”
Gu Hao looked at Li Lizhi.
He felt that the two of them still needed to avoid arousing suspicion in front of outsiders.
"Oh, okay."
Li Lizhi replied.
Not long after, the two of them appeared in the classroom one after the other.
As soon as Gu Hao walked into the classroom, he felt a burning gaze.
The classroom was filled with students. They looked at Gu Hao with burning eyes.
"Looks like I'm really popular."
Gu Hao cursed.
Unlike the others, the students sitting in the classroom looked at him with a purer gaze.
It was mainly worship and did not have much utility.
This kind of gaze also made people feel more comfortable.
"This time, everyone is quite complete."
Gu Hao smiled.
There were thirty-eight seats in the classroom, and all of them were occupied at the moment.
Some seats even had more than one person sitting on them.
"News of what happened at the bonfire banquet last night has already spread. Everyone wants to see you.”Li Chengqian, who was sitting at the front, said.
Gu Hao nodded. He pondered for a moment and smiled."I remember that in the first lesson, I said that there was a secret hidden in the process of teaching you how to warm wine.
I wonder if any of you have discovered this secret?”
The students looked at each other. Many of them were at a loss. They were all new here.
Some students shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't noticed. They had all attended Gu Hao's first class.
"Please enlighten me."
Crown Prince Li Chengqian said.
He had tried to replicate Gu Hao's wine-warming process, but he didn't discover any secrets.
Later on, he had too many things to deal with and gradually forgot about this matter.
"I only did two things last night," said Gu Hao.
1. Create a crystal cup;
Second, make three bottles of fine wine.
Let's not talk about the crystal cup for the time being. In this class, we will talk about the secrets of wine.”
These students were all children of influential families. Asking them to endure the high temperature to make glass was a little difficult for them.
As for the purification of fine wine, they only needed to have enough wine in their homes.
Gu Hao didn't hide it.
He explained the secret of purifying wine to everyone in an easy to understand way.
He spoke very seriously, and the group of students could still listen very seriously at the beginning.
Slowly, some students started to get distracted.
In the end, their interest was in Gu Hao and what he had accomplished.
As for the process and principle of brewing wine, they were not interested.
They were interested in the wine that Gu Hao had brewed and the praises his elders had for him.
Most of them wouldn't be interested in learning how Gu Hao brewed wine.
Halfway through his speech, Gu Hao noticed that some students were already dozing off.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled.
"Why do I really treat them as students? He thought that he was very generous.”
Gu Hao shook his head.
This time, perhaps it was because he felt comfortable with everyone's admiring gazes at the beginning, so he decided to tell them the secret of purifying wine.
However, he had forgotten that these students did not have to worry about food and drink. Most of them dreamed of being an official. None of them wanted to become a millionaire.
To them, the method of purifying wine might just be a boring lesson.
Gu Hao was slightly disappointed, but he didn't stop talking.
Because he realized that some people were listening very seriously.
For example, Du He, the son of Du Ruhui;
For example, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle;
For example, Crown Prince Li Chengqian.
………
After explaining the method to purify the wine, Gu Hao announced the end of today's class.
He had a vague feeling that this would be his last time being a lecturer.
Many students left the classroom, and some students surrounded Gu Hao.
Among them, Li Chengqian was the leader.
"Mr. Gu, do you still have that strong liquor from last night?”Cheng Huaimo looked at Gu Hao eagerly.
Last night, her father was carried home by someone.
During breakfast this morning, his father couldn't forget the strong wine he drank last night. He said that it was the best and strongest wine he had ever drunk in his life.
"They were all transported to the West Inner Court. There should still be some left there.”
Gu Hao said.
He suddenly remembered that Qin Qiong seemed to have reserved thirty jars.
"The method you just mentioned can brew that kind of wine, right?”
Du He asked curiously.
Last night, her father had also mentioned the wine at the banquet, saying that it was a rare wine.
" Not only that," Gu Hao said with a smile." As long as you know how to retain the smell of alcohol, you can brew any kind of strong liquor."”
In the lesson just now, he did not mention the concept of alcohol and instead used the smell of alcohol.
"Sir, are you free at noon?"
Crown Prince Li Chengqian suddenly asked.
Gu Hao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Was the Crown Prince trying to rope him in?
As an engineering student, he did not read many history books, but he knew about Li Chengqian's rebellion.
After Li Shimin, the throne belonged to Li Zhi and had nothing to do with Li Chengqian or Li Taimao.
However…
So far, Gu Hao had only come into contact with this prince.
Moreover, the two of them got along quite well.
Li Chengqian had always been very respectful to him.
"I'm free."
Gu Hao pondered for a while and did not refuse.
Li Chengqian's face lit up and he hurriedly said,""I've prepared a banquet in the Eastern Palace. If you're free, I have some questions about wine brewing.”
"Alright."
Gu Hao nodded.
"I want to go too." Li Lizhi said.
"Alright, Lizhi, let's go together." Li Chengqian laughed.
"Cough cough, Your Highness, you don't mind having another pair of chopsticks, right?”Cheng Huaimo coughed lightly and looked at Li Chengqian eagerly.
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.""Alright."
"I don't have anything to do in the afternoon either…"
Du He whispered.
His father had specifically instructed him to learn from Gu Hao.
“………”
Gu Hao didn't receive Li Shiming's summons even at noon. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Was he thinking too much?
As the emperor of Tang, Li Shimin must be busy with many things every day. He had only invented glass and purified wine. Was it worth it for him to be specially summoned?
Gu Hao felt a little depressed when he thought of this.
When he arrived at the Eastern Palace, he was warmly welcomed by Li Shiming's eldest son, Li Chengqian. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
"It seems that Li Er didn't see the huge business opportunity of glass and wine, or he saw it, but he didn't care.”
Sitting in the magnificent palace, Gu Hao was enjoying the delicious food while pondering.
He had created the glass not for anyone else, but for himself.
Initial mission!
Last night, he was actually waiting for the System to react.
However, he did not see any reaction from the System even when he woke up in the morning.
"The popularity of Chang 'an City will inevitably require the expansion of production.”
Gu Hao glanced at Li Chengqian, who kept toasting him.
Even if he could keep the glass and wine, it would take a long time to expand production.
Originally, Gu Hao wanted to use Li Er to mobilize the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to produce the glass cups for him.
But now, it seemed that Li Er had no such intention at all.
Otherwise, why hadn't he summoned him yet?
"The next best option is the Crown Prince.”
Gu Hao dispelled his thoughts. He raised his cup and looked at Li Chengqian, asking with a smile,"
"Your Highness, are you interested in business?”
