In history, Wu Meiniang was demoted to the court by Emperor Taizong for service, because of the lion skull incident, so when Li Hao learned that Wu Meiniang entered the palace, he always carried this note with him, and was going to hand it over to Wu Meiniang when he met her in the palace one day, and gave her a friendly reminder, and he could only help this.

For Wu Meiniang, he can't do too much, because she is now the emperor's woman, and he can't have too much to do with her, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

After Li Hao returned home, Du Hong came to report that the first batch of glass mirrors had been produced, a total of 735 pieces, but some were large and some were small, the largest was larger than the basin, and the smallest was only the size of the palm of the hand.

When Li Hao heard the good news, he was so happy that he asked Du Hong to take himself to inspect the goods and came to the glass workshop, only to see hundreds of glass mirrors neatly placed in the warehouse, these glass mirrors have undergone post-processing, the frames are all framed with carved rosewood, and they are also painted with gold paint, which looks absolutely high-end and high-grade, and the appearance is excellent, not only that, in addition to 735 glass mirrors, they also produced 550 glasses, including round glasses, square glasses, and tall wine glasses, in short, it looks very good, which is definitely a breathtaking goodie in this day and age.

"Good job, good job!" Li Hao looked at so many glass products, he rubbed his hands happily, these are all money, for people in this era, glass is such a magical existence, as long as it is sold on the market, the price is not left to open by himself.

Li Hao was in a good mood, returned to the workshop and clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Workers, everyone has worked hard, because of your excellent work, this month I will give each of you more money bonuses, as long as everyone works hard, the bonus will be every month, and there will be a year-end bonus at the end of the year!" ”

"Oh-" All the workers and craftsmen cheered excitedly when they heard this, what is the concept of a monthly bonus, which is twelve times a year, and the year-end bonus, just thinking about it is exciting.

Du Hong said at the right time: "Don't just care about being happy, don't hurry up and thank the Dongjia!" ”

Only then did those workers and craftsmen react, and they saluted Li Hao one after another, and said in a disorderly manner: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Li Hao waved his hand and smiled lightly: "You're welcome, this is the reward of your hard work, everyone continue to work hard!" ”

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the workshop with Du Hong, and asked as he walked: "What has my father-in-law been busy with lately?" ”

Du Hong followed closely beside him and replied: "Master Tu has been busy with the tea business recently, and I heard that he lost a lot of money in the first two months, but fortunately, he has started to make money this month." ”

"Well, the tea business is just a casual play, I didn't expect to make money from tea, glass products are the real cash cow." Li Hao pointed to the glass products in the warehouse with a high spirit, and said: "These things can't be piled up in the warehouse, you have to sell them quickly, it's all money, tomorrow you will go to Chang'an to buy a storefront, it doesn't need to be big, but it's not too small, the point is that the location must be in a prosperous area, close to the rich area, rich area, do you understand?" ”

Du Hong nodded again and again: "Yes, it's where the rich live." ”

"There's Huigen." Li Hao smiled and nodded, "After buying the store, notify me as soon as possible, so that I can draw decoration drawings." ”

"Yes, the old slave understands."

Early the next morning, Li Hao took Du Hong and Lu Yun to Chang'an, Du Hong was responsible for finding the storefront, Li Hao and Lu Yun came to Chengtianmen, today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, he came here in fact to know the result of Li Shimin's meeting with the envoy of the Japanese State for the first time.

When Li Hao arrived outside the Chengtian Gate, the Great Dynasty Meeting had been going on for nearly an hour, and seven things had been agreed, and the last thing was missing, meeting the envoys of the Japanese State, which was also the biggest event today.

"Xuanfusang envoys come to see you!"

Xu Lian held the dust in his hand and announced loudly, not long after, the two envoys of the Japanese Kingdom walked into the main hall, giving everyone's first reaction, so short, the ancient people were not very tall due to their low nutrition, more than one meter eight is considered a giant, and it can generally reach one meter seven five is considered very tall, and the average height of men is almost between one meter six and five to one meter seven.

But the envoys of the Wa Kingdom are really too short, only one meter four or five by sight, almost as tall as a newly developed child, which is also related to their national conditions, the geographical environment of the Wa Kingdom is too harsh, and the nutrition is seriously unable to keep up, after hundreds of years of degradation, the stature is naturally short.

In fact, there is another very important point, the height of the people of the Qin Dynasty is not high......

Someone will say, nonsense! The height of the ancient people was tall, and Xiang Yu was eight feet tall!

The unit of the ruler is fixed in modern times, a city ruler is equal to 33.3333 cm, but in ancient times, the length of a foot is uncertain, the length of a foot in the Shang Dynasty is 16.95 cm, at that time people were very short, men who can reach one meter seven are considered giants, one meter seven is ten feet at that time, that is, one zhang, so it is called "husband".

During the Qin Dynasty, the length of a foot was 23.1 centimeters.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the length of one foot was 24.2 centimeters.

In the Tang Dynasty, the length of one foot was 30.7 centimeters.

It is said that the length of a foot was determined according to the length of the emperor's elbow at that time, which is not surprising! Anyway, Li Hao felt a little sloppy.

Through the above data, it is concluded that Qin Shi Huang's elbow length is 23 cm, and his height is estimated to be one meter six, which is neither tall nor short in ancient times, Xiang Yu is one meter eight five meters tall, and it was the same existence as Yao Ming in that era, but unfortunately there was no basketball at that time.

The two envoys of the Japanese kingdom knelt three times and bowed nine times into the Taiji Palace, looking extremely respectful, and many ministers nodded and smiled when they saw this, showing a look of pride, and the superiority of the heavenly state jumped on their faces.

If it was before, Li Shimin was estimated to be as happy as the ministers, but after being reminded by Li Hao, he suddenly felt that these envoys of the Japanese Kingdom were a little disgusting, and frowned slightly.

After kneeling several times, the envoy of the Wa Kingdom came to the middle of the Taiji Palace, knelt down and bowed, and shouted in a stiff Chinese mountain: "The envoy of the Fusang Kingdom, Ghost Yanagitaro, Ito Jizuka, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said lightly: "No courtesy." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Heavenly Khan!" The two envoys of the Japanese kingdom rose to their feet.

After the two of them got up, Li Shimin looked at their appearances, and couldn't help but gasp, really ugly, flat face, the whole face was like being run over by a stone grinder, and it was like the facial features pinched out on a piece of dough, and the facial features were also ugly, especially the eyes, which were pitifully small, inlaid on such a big face, how ugly and ugly it was.

Li Shimin only glanced at it, and immediately looked away, not daring to take a second look, this is the ugliest alien he has ever seen, there is no one.

After Li Shimin looked away, he slowly asked: "The two envoys, they have traveled thousands of miles to come to Datang, what happened?" ”

The envoy Oni Ryutaro knelt on the ground again and said, "Your Majesty the Khan, the foreign minister has brought our Majesty's letter of state, and requests to worship the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain......" He said and took out a cloth scroll.

Li Shimin raised his hand: "Flat!" Read! ”

"Yes." Onitagitaro slowly unfolded the scroll, only to see a large sun pattern on the back of the scroll. Then I heard him say aloud, "The Emperor at Sunrise in the East to the Emperor at Sunset......

"Wait!" Before he could read a sentence, Li Shimin raised his hand to stop him, and asked the envoy of the Japanese State with a tiger face, "What do you Fusang lord call yourself?" Emperor? ”

When Ghost Yanagitaro heard this, he and Ito Osatsuka fell to their knees in fright, wanting to explain a few words, but found that they couldn't speak, and cold sweat broke out on their heads.

Can they not be afraid, the invincible Li Shimin is just called the Heavenly Khan, their emperor actually dares to call himself the emperor, even more awesome than Li Shimin's title, Li Shimin will give up?

The hall was quiet for a long time, and the text of the Chinese scholar Lang Cen suddenly came out of the list, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Fusang country has lived in a corner for many years, and does not know the size of the world, and its lord is born with an arrogant heart, and he is not deliberately disrespectful to Tang, this is an unintentional mistake, Your Majesty should reprimand his monarch with a national letter, and accept his title of emperor!" ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and nodded: "Quasi-play!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cen Wenwen retreated into the queue, and Ghost Yanagitaro and Ito Jizuka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately Li Shimin didn't pursue it, otherwise the two of them were only afraid that their heads would not be protected.

As soon as Cen Wenwen retreated, Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, suddenly came out again, and said: "Your Majesty, the country of Fusang is too rude, and it actually claims to be the country of the sunrise in the east, and my Tang Dynasty is only the country of the sunset, it can be seen that he has a heart of disobedience, and the matter of being a minister, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”

When the two envoys heard this, they once again brought their hearts to their throats, the Tang people are too good at picking thorns, the first sentence on the national book, they actually picked two big thorns, are they still alive?

Li Shimin was silent for a few seconds when he heard this, and suddenly nodded and said: "Well, Gao Qing is reasonable, since Fusang is so disrespectful to my Tang Dynasty, then there is no need to call the ministers and pay tribute, Xu Lian, return them with the national letter, and send them to the sea to return to China." ”

The two envoys of the Japanese state were stunned, so they refused? The national letter only read a sentence and refused? It's too sloppy! It took them a long time to come to their senses, and the ghost Yanagitaro was unwilling, and suddenly kowtowed to Li Shimin, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, we sincerely call our ministers, and we have no disrespect for the Tang Dynasty......"

Li Shimin glanced at the two of them, and said coldly: "Then why has your country become the country of the rising sun, but my Datang has become the country of the sunset, is it possible that my Datang has become the twilight of the western mountains?" ”

You must know that Japan at this time already hated the name Waguo, because they knew that the word Waguo had a derogatory connotation, which shows that Li Shimin was really angry.

Ito Osatsuka, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Back to His Majesty the Emperor, my country is ...... The monarch did not have the slightest disrespect, only because our country is located in the East China Sea, in the east of the Tang Dynasty, close to the place where the sun rises, so it calls itself the country of the rising sun. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Oniyanagitaro said excitedly, "That's it, Prince Shotoku also wrote this in his letter to Emperor Yang of Sui......"

"It's Datang now! It's not a waste of Sui! Li Shimin suddenly slapped the dragon seat, glared and roared, and a roar of anger frightened the two of them directly to the ground, trembling all over, and almost incontinent.

There was silence in the Taiji Palace, and the falling needles could be heard, and after a while, Kong Yingda suddenly came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is rude for the Fusang envoys to repeatedly collide with Tianyan, but it is understandable. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin frowned slightly and asked, "How can it be excusable?" ”
