"Young Master, just now, that was the emperor..."

It was not until the emperor left for a long time that Dezi came back to his soul.

"That's right."

The young master's answer made Dezi laugh foolishly.

"Dezi, what's wrong with you?"

"Hehe, Master, we have never lived in vain in our life. We can actually see the emperor..."

Virtue!

You didn't live in vain, but I didn't live enough, Master.

On the way back to Zhuangzi, although the cold wind was still biting, Shi Yiwen was in a good mood, not only because of books. What’s more important is that he made friends with the emperor.

In this era of imperial autocracy, making friends with the emperor can bring countless gains, and being with the emperor is like a tiger. Of course, Shi Yiwen understands the truth that even Wanli, who became moody during the entire adolescence of Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li, became a moody character under the suppression of Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li.

But there is an opportunity stored in the risk. Shi Yiwen is not clear about what kind of benefits this opportunity will bring. At present, the most important thing is to copy the books collected by the inner palace one by one, then publish them and sell them according to the best. As for the others, they can be collected in the library.

Well, it is stored in the library in the space.

The library can’t be put down, so there is no hotel that can even put books on it!

Thinking of the hotel, Shi Yiwen naturally thought of the glass mirror imported as a tribute. When he was in Nanjing, the reason why he didn't take out the mirror was because the thing was too eye-catching. Now he was glad that he was cautious at the beginning. If he took out the mirror directly, someone might have killed someone and robbed the goods.

Of course, he had another idea in his heart, which was to sell glass mirrors at a good price, but how could he sell them at a good price?

You cannot rely solely on things that are rare, but you must also learn to tell stories.

In this era, there is naturally no better story than tributes or imperial use in the palace. Hundreds of years later, there are many local specialties that cling to the emperor, not to mention now, just like Dezi's performance today.

"Actually, there are only dozens of mirrors..."

Thinking of this in his heart, Shi Yiwen grinned.

Millions of taels of silver are really nothing. At worst, you can take out all the mirrors in the hotel and supermarket, which is to have mahogany frames installed.

Then tell a good story, which is a tribute mirror itself. I always thought that there were only a few mirrors in the palace and would definitely be worth a hundred times the price. At worst, I could buy some small mirrors and sell them for tens of thousands of taels of silver as big as a4 paper.

It makes people feel a little... a little boring.

However, it seems that it is not realistic to earn so much money with the mirror in a short period of time. After all, that thing is a luxury item, and it can be done slowly.

Think about it from another perspective, what do you need?

After returning home, Shi Yiwen did not sleep well all night. It seemed that he had to pay a lot to get to know the emperor, but he also saw a rare opportunity.

But how should I seize this opportunity?

He even traveled back and forth between the space from time to time, trying to find some clues in the library. Finally, lying on the soft spring mattress, Shi Yiwen looked through the books he found from the library. Occasionally, he would flip through the books casually, and then... lie on the bed again.

Shi Yiwen, who enjoyed the comfort of the spring mattress and felt a little sleepy, had a word in his mind - "wealth". In history, Wanli was known for his greed for "wealth". It doesn't matter why he became like that. What's important is that this may be an opportunity.

Then, Shi Yiwen thought of two other words - "Business", and the business practices he had planned when he was in Nanjing, and naturally he also thought of the depravity during this period.

"Hey, you're really too depraved. Fortunately, you have a better opportunity now."

When doing business in the past, Shi Yiwen still needed to have some concerns, but now... suddenly, he realized that the biggest advantage of being an emperor partner - with Wanli there, it seemed that he didn't need to have any more concerns.

The combination of power and money, the collusion between officials and businessmen... When these familiar nouns appeared, Shi Yiwen laughed. When he thought of Jiangnan, and the collusion between officials and businessmen in Jiangnan, he seemed to have embarked on a similar path to them.

However, despite this, it does not mean that it is safe. After all, the king is heartless. Throughout history, countless emperors have turned against each other and many merchants colluded with officials and their families were destroyed, unless they could become someone who could not leave the emperor!

How to be a person that the emperor cannot live without?

Shi Yiwen is not sure about it for the time being, but what is certain is that the 100,000 taels of silver is a stepping stone.

Money can make the devil push the grinding... The emperor is also unavoidable.

“What business is next?”

Shi Yiwen muttered the cigarette in his mouth.

"Or why do you get the cotton mill first? It seems that the north itself is rich in cotton."

As soon as this thought emerged, he thought of what he had said to the emperor again.

"It's been three to five months, look at how you brag about this, why aren't you afraid of blowing it out..."

After a few months, a yarn mill will definitely not be able to be established. Not to mention a series of problems such as choosing a location to build a factory, it is just a problem whether the equipment can be built.

Because the inner study is heated by the fire pit in the bedroom, it is naturally not as good as the bedroom. Perhaps because of the long sitting time, my legs become a little cold.

"Xiao Lian..."

Shi Yiwen, who felt a little cold, was about to call Xiao Lian, but when he suddenly returned, what he encountered on the road suddenly lit up.

"Yes, that's it!"

Without any hesitation, Shi Yiwen entered the space again, and then rode an electric bike to the edge of the space. Although the factory was not large in size and only half was left, he saw some equipment in its factory building and various parts were stored in the warehouse.

"Oh, I didn't expect there were quite a lot of things here."

With the lights in the warehouse, looking at the things in the box, there are indeed a lot of things, there are dozens of boxes. Not to mention other things, just these things are all good things. As long as they are used properly, they can bring huge wealth. In fact, which one of the things in the space is not like this?

Just like the lights here, if these lights are taken out, it will really... be really scary. Looking up at the lights on the roof, Shi Yiwen's heart once again had a long-standing question - why is there still electricity in this space?

Whether it is the library or the street lights on the street, electricity never seems to have disappeared. Where did the electricity come from?

"Forget it, I can't figure it out, and it's useless to think about it."

Looking up at the lights hanging high on the construction site, Shi Yiwen murmured to himself.
Chapter completed!
