"I'm too lazy to talk to you."

Li Shimin now began to enjoy the "Li Mu style" life. This leisurely and comfortable roasting some meat and drinking some wine is the joy of life.

It seemed that he had guessed what Li Shimin thought, Li Mu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I will give you an immature little suggestion. Can you tell me?"

"What?"

"I advise your Majesty not to attend court every day."

"Huh?" Li Shimin was puzzled when he heard it. Looking at the records in historical books, being an emperor always puts diligence first. He only thinks that the emperor is lazy and not that the emperor is diligent. Isn't it something a wise monarch should do when he goes to court every day? What suggestions is this?

"I think it's a waste of time." Li Mu suddenly explained seriously, "Your Majesty, I have been to court less often, but occasionally I have discovered some disadvantages in these few times. For example, if you tell me something, your Majesty knows it today, can it be solved tomorrow? It's not necessarily true, it can't be solved. Your Majesty must ask, but some things take time and cannot be solved even after asking. This way, your Majesty is worried and the minister is nervous."

Li Shimin snorted and said, "It is my right to worry about the world, and it is my right to be nervous for the ministers. Do I have to go to court in order to prevent them from being nervous? If I don't go to court, will I still be the emperor?"

"Why doesn't it count? What's the matter? I feel sorry for Your Majesty. Do you think you are happy now? Every morning, you get up and eat. When you go to the court, you will go to court and listen to a group of ministers who say everything you say endlessly. After the court is finished, there are still a bunch of memorials, and it's still endless. Your Majesty, how can you tell me about the quality of life? Last time I heard from Uncle Cheng that the original rules of the polo competition were set by Your Majesty. It can be seen that Your Majesty is a person who loves football, but now the polo competition has been played for almost two months, and Your Majesty has no time to watch a game."

Li Mu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, whether it is you, me, or anyone on the streets of Chang'an City, our lives are only once. The gods say immortality is immortal, but who is truly immortal? Kings, princes, generals and ministers are the same when they die. I don't know what Your Majesty thinks. Anyway, I can't work all the time and work all the time. I have to rest and do something I like." He pointed to the sizzling barbecue and said, "This is one."

Li Shimin listened to Li Mu's words, pondered for a while, and suddenly laughed, "I'm so angry, how old are you, have you experienced life and death?"

"I'm just a little suggestion."

"I will consider it." After pausing, Li Shimin said again, "What were you going to do today? I'm full, see what you are busy with."

"What I am today's arrangement is to make a batch of glass." This was not Li Mu's plan today, but a plan changed after Li Shimin came. He wanted Li Shimin to "use" silver when he burned glass and confirmed the equivalent of silver and glass, which is crucial to his future plan.

Sure enough, Li Shimin asked Li Mu to calculate accurately. He could not resist his curiosity about Liuli and said, "Can I see how Liuli is made? If it is inconvenient, I won't force it." Although he said that, the expression on his face was, if you dare to say something, I will deal with you.

Li Mu dared not say anything, and it was unnecessary. He had already rehearsed the process and ensured that he would not be seen.

"Please move your Majesty."

Li Mu did not talk nonsense and brought Li Shimin to his studio. Since the windows were replaced with glazed glass, the studio looked much brighter. Li Shimin looked here and there, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Eunuch Gao, can you help me later?"

Before Eunuch Gao could speak, Li Shimin volunteered and said, "How do you want to help? I will help you."

"It's nothing." Li Mu pointed to the box under the table and said, "When the stove gets hot later, when I say 'put', just pour the silver ingots in the box into the stove evenly in batches."

When Li Shimin opened the box, it turned out to be a box of silver ingots. They were all silver ingots worth ten taels a day, and they were heavy in their hands. The box was filled with it, and it was estimated that there were at least two thousand stakes. Li Shimin looked at the silver ingots, then the stove, and said suspiciously, "Li Mu, do you want to throw this silver ingot into the stove?"

"Yes!" Li Muxia said, "I have studied for a long time before I mastered the secret recipe for burning glazed glass. The secret recipe is not difficult. In fact, glazed glass is just made of sand and gravel. The key lies in the control of the temperature and the silver. Why did the craftsmen in the past find a way to burn glazed glass? One word, money! They didn't have the chance to try it, but I have it. By chance, when I was doing an experiment, the silver ingot in my sleeve fell into the stove. A magical thing happened. The sand and gravel that burned red in the stove actually crystallized, and then gradually became transparent and became glazed glass! So, I also got this secret method by accident."

"What you said seems to be lucky. Light the stove quickly and let me see how the sand and gravel turn into glass."

"Affect the order."

Li Mu filled the coke into the stove, and explained while filling it out, and then lit the stove, waited for the stove to heat up slowly, then brought a small sieve, smashed the quartz sand and feldspar, and crushed the soda stone into powder. Li Shimin was really not idle, and followed Li Mu to do it. The mill was pushed very quickly. Although he couldn't do it, he could see that he was spared no effort.

"Your Majesty, although it is sand and gravel, there are also differences." Li Mu picked up a piece of soda stone for Li Shimin to show it, and said, "There are very few such stones near Chang'an City. I have checked the files in Yu's department. This kind of stone is everywhere in Tuyuhun. If glass is produced in large quantities in the future, I will not be able to buy stones from Tuyuhun."

"What to buy!" Li Shimin said, "Tuyuhun has been fighting back and forth between Tubo, Central Plains, and Western Turks since the previous dynasty. I will destroy it one day and buy stones for them? Do I look like a fool?"

Li Mu complained in his heart that this is the logic of the robber. He fell in love with other people's minerals and didn't want to buy them with money. He even robbed them and directly planned to destroy them. Li Mu was still convinced of this hooligan thinking.

The basic raw materials were poured into the furnace. As the fire heated up, the stones in the furnace were heated to the point of red, like burnt red coal, but because the melting point did not reach, there was no sign of melting.

In essence, this kind of furnace will never reach the melting point of quartz stone, so there must be a "glass auxiliary material package" sold in the system store. This thing is like a catalyst for chemical experiments. It can only be fused with a little bit.

Li Mu hid this "catalyst" in the silver ingot.
