Chapter 196 The Mirror Is Made
As soon as he walked out of the gate of Lin's house, Cui Zhifeng couldn't help asking: "Sister, is it possible to forget it like this?"
Cui Yuxiu said flatly: "Of course we can't just forget about it. The rest will be handed over to the other companies."
"Give it to the other companies? Are we not going to participate?" Cui Zhifeng was taken aback.
Cui Yuxiu asked back: "Do you think the other companies can make Lin Xuan succumb? We won't participate. If he can't bear the pressure, he will naturally come to us."
In fact, she was most worried about the methods Lin Xuan mentioned. If Lin Xuan did not have the method of making colored glaze, and Lin Xuan really had the method of making sea salt and sugar, it would be a big blow to the Cui family.
She wanted to see how Lin Xuan would deal with the other companies first.
Cui Zhifeng didn't know this, and thought that Cui Yuxiu wanted to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, and praised: "Sister, you are so smart!"
"Let's go, let's go back first." Cui Yuxiu shook her head, not wanting to say anything more to this idiot brother.
Cui Yuxiu and Cui Zhifeng came to a manor in a carriage.
As soon as he walked in, Cui Hao greeted him and asked, "How is it? Did Lin Xuan agree?"
Cui Yuxiu shook her head and said, "Uncle Clan, Lin Xuan refused."
"Then what should we do now? According to the agreement, if we can't figure it out, the other companies can intervene." Cui Hao said anxiously.
In order to convince the other companies to take the lead, they paid a high price.
According to the agreement, if they can't convince Lin Xuan once, the other companies can participate, and it's not considered a violation, and they have to pay what they promised.
Cui Zhifeng said proudly: "It's okay, my sister has already figured it out."
Then he told Cui Hao about Cui Yuxiu's plan.
"Yuxiu, do you think this is feasible?" Cui Hao asked.
Cui Yuxiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Clan, Lin Xuan won't give in so easily."
Although she has only met Lin Xuan once, she has already seen that Lin Xuan is the kind of person who doesn't take hard things.
As for the methods of the other companies, it was easy for her to guess.
Their methods will only irritate Lin Xuan, and it is impossible to make him succumb.
"Well, the others are waiting in the living room, let's go there now." Cui Hao said.
Anyway, Cui Yuxiu was sent by the family to take charge of this matter, so even if there was any problem, it would not be his fault.
"My niece is back, what's the result?" Wang Ze asked.
Cui Yuxiu shook her head and said with a wry smile, "My niece failed to convince Lin Xuan."
Zheng Kai comforted: "Niece, don't be discouraged. The old man said before that Lin Xuan is not easy to persuade."
Although he was comforting Cui Yuxiu, Zheng Kai was already happy in his heart.
The Cui family failed, but the benefits promised to them are indispensable, and they still have the opportunity to obtain the method of making colored glaze.
Of course Cui Yuxiu knew what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "Uncles, according to the agreement, the things that the Cui family promised will be delivered later, and we will not participate in the rest."
Lu Yuan wondered: "Niece, are you sure your Cui family won't participate?"
The Cui family paid a huge price before, only saying that they would be the first to do it, and did not say that they would not participate after failure.
Now that the Cui family suddenly said this, Lu Yuan was very puzzled.
People from the other families looked at Cui Yuxiu in confusion.
Cui Hao stood up and said, "Don't worry, everyone, Yuxiu's niece was sent by the family to take charge of this matter, and she has full authority to call the shots."
Only then did the other families feel relieved. Although they still couldn't figure out why the Cui family gave up, it was impossible for them to give up the glaze making method.
"Thank you for the generosity of the Cui family, I will leave first!" Wang Ze said.
"The old man has something to do, so I'll take my leave first!"
"Farewell!"
Several others offered their farewells one after another.
Cui Hao hurriedly got up to see him off.
"Sister, when will they do it?" Cui Zhifeng asked.
Cui Yuxiu sneered and said, "They're all a group of old foxes. When they leave here, they will definitely gather together to discuss countermeasures. Within a day or two, they will definitely do something. Just wait and see."
……
After Wang Ze and the others left, they did not separate, but went directly to Wang Ze's house.
When the servants brought the tea, Wang Ze said: "You all go down, no one is allowed to come in without the old man's order."
"Brother Wang, did you ask us to come here?" Zheng Kai asked suspiciously.
Wang Ze looked at the others and said, "Everyone, the Cui family paid a huge price and must have great confidence. However, they all failed. It seems that the method proposed by our family leaders also failed."
The attention of the few of them is similar to that of the Cui family, it is nothing more than coercion and lure.
Lu Yuan's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked, "What does Brother Wang mean?"
"What the old man means is that it is not easy for our family to deal with him without the title of a nobleman by gathering the strength of our family to impeach Lin Xuan and dismiss him?" Wang Ze laughed.
Lu Yuan said: "Brother Wang's attention is good, but after success, who will own the method of making colored glaze?"
Their main purpose is the glass making method.
He didn't want to end up making a wedding dress for someone else.
Zheng Kai also nodded in agreement.
"The benefits generated by the method of making colored glaze will be shared equally among the three of us," Wang Ze said.
"This..." Zheng Kai and Lu Yuan hesitated.
The three families share equally, and of course there is no one that can monopolize more benefits.
Wang Ze knew what they were thinking, looked at them, and said, "Do you think you are stronger than the Cui family? The Cui family can't succeed, and we can't succeed alone. Equal points are better than nothing, right? "
Lu Yuan and Zheng Kai hesitated for a while, and said, "Brother Wang, tell me, what do we need to do?"
"Arrange people to concoct some crimes against Lin Xuan, and then let the officials of the three of us in the court impeach him together." Wang Ze said sternly.
They also collected some crimes about Lin Xuan, but they were all insignificant things and had no effect on Lin Xuan at all.
But as the saying goes, 'If you want to impose a crime, there is no excuse for it'.
If there is no charge, just concoct some, even if it is finally found out that it is fake, so what.
Anyway, the officials of the Tang Dynasty heard about it and did not need evidence.
……
The arrival of the Cui family made Lin Xuan a little wary, he knew that the family would definitely plot against him.
But he doesn't know what method the family will use now, so he can only block it with soldiers.
After Lin Xuan drew the blueprint, he brought the blueprint to the house where the carpenter was housed.
Seeing Lin Xuan approaching, Chen Guangli quickly saluted and said, "I've seen Lord Hou!"
"Don't be too polite, old man Chen, how is the furniture?" Lin Xuan asked.
After seeing the samples that Chen Guangli and the others made last time, Lin Xuan was very satisfied and asked them to start production.
Chen Guangli said: "Back to Lord Hou, a lot has been done, and it will definitely be completed on time."
These craftsmen are very grateful to Lin Xuan.
They often couldn't get any jobs before, and life as a family was somewhat difficult.
Lin Xuan not only gave them work, but also hired them directly, and they will receive wages every month in the future.
Moreover, Lin Xuan paid them very high wages.
"Don't worry, just let them give birth normally, don't get tired." Lin Xuan said.
Chen Guangli smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your concern."
Lin Xuan took out the drawings and said, "Uncle Chen, see if you can make these things."
Chen Guangli took the drawing and looked at it, and said, "No problem!"
Lin Xuan said: "Then ask Uncle Chen to help me make these. Only one set is enough. The wood must be polished smooth, and the edges and corners also need to be polished smooth."
These things were all given to Li Zhi, and if Li Zhi got injured because of this later, he would be in trouble.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I'll remember it!" Chen Guangli nodded and said.
Lin Xuan said: "Then old man Chen, go get busy, and send someone to notify me when it's done."
Regarding Chen Guangli's craftsmanship, Lin Xuan was very relieved. Those samples before were very exquisite.
When Lin Xuan returned home, he found Xu Guangfu had arrived.
"Why are you here? Did something happen?" Lin Xuan asked.
Xu Guangfu said excitedly: "Master Hou, it's done, the mirror is done."
"What mirror is made? Where is the mirror? Show me." Lin Xuan said happily.
Xu Guangfu took out a wooden box, opened it, and took out a palm-sized mirror.
Lin Xuan took the mirror and took a picture, very satisfied.
Although the clarity of mirrors of later generations is not as good, it is much better than that of bronze mirrors.
He nodded and said, "That's right, those who participated in the production will be rewarded with five guan, and you will receive ten guan."
"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Xu Guangfu thanked.
He was very fortunate to have chosen to follow Lin Xuan. In less than two months, he had received dozens of wages and rewards.
"Now take me to the fire kiln." Lin Xuan said.
