Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Because the shop was smashed, Lingchuan had to hire craftsmen to repair it, so the shop had to be closed for a few days.

Another thing was that the glazed panels were all broken, so Lingchuan went to Liao Yishou's workshop again.

Early in the morning, Liao Yishou's workshop was bustling with activity. Ling Chuan took a quick look and found that almost everyone was blowing the candy cane, with their cheeks puffed out.

"Master Liao, are you busy?"

Ling Chuan greeted him and came forward. He found that Liao tried his best to blow the pipe but couldn't. He smiled awkwardly and put down the pipe in his hand: "I am old and lack energy."

"Just let the disciples do these things." Ling Chuan put his arm around Liao Yishou's shoulders and came to the side, took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into his hands: "This is the money for the glass panels yesterday."

Liao took the banknote with one hand, his eyes wide open: "Didn't you say that the batch of glass plates were given away as gifts? You sold them all in one go?"

Ling Chuan groaned, "It wasn't sold, it was smashed. This is the compensation. Send another batch tomorrow."

"Smashed?"

Liao Yishou wanted to ask a few more questions, but Ling Chuan interrupted him directly: "Those are irrelevant. The main thing is these three thousand taels of silver. I mean, use it to expand your workshop first. What do you think?"

"Expand the workshop?" Liao glanced around and said, "Isn't my workshop big enough?"

"Not even close." Ling Chuan's friend, whose cheeks were chubby from blowing, said, "Don't you think that after blowing the glass like this, it can be made into other objects?"

Liao raised his eyebrows, his face filled with excitement: "Yes, with this blowing method, many objects that could not be made large before can now be made."

He took out a jar from the side and said, "I made this yesterday. If it were made before, it would be at most as big as a fist. Now you see, it's bigger than my head."

Ling Chuan gave a thumbs up, and Liao Yishou said, "My work is ugly, but think about it, if the bottom is cut off, it can be made into a lampshade."

"Master Liao is amazing. I'm thinking about opening a shop to sell these glassware items. What do you think?"

Liao Yishou frowned and said, "I am proficient in craftsmanship, but I think you, Mr. Ling, are better at doing business. You can make the decision."

"Okay, then I won't be polite with you. I'll take care of this matter first, and then I'll discuss it with you when there's something going on."

"Okay, okay. By the way, I have already made quite a few glazed panels. When you go back later, I will ask my apprentice to deliver them to you."

"Okay, okay, I'll take my leave now. You have to speed up the expansion of the workshop here."

Ling Chuan was escorting a cart of glazed panels back to San Tiao Lane. From a distance he saw He Chun looking around at the entrance of the lane.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

He Chun said quickly, "Master Ling, that Second Master Zhao is here again. I don't know what he wants to do, but he just sits there and insists on waiting for you to come back."

"How many people did he bring?"

"He was alone, without even a follower."

Ling Chuan's nervous expression suddenly relaxed, and he patted He Chun on the shoulder: "Don't worry, he's not here to cause trouble."

Sure enough, as soon as Ling Chuan entered the shop and had no time to speak, Zhao Youtang came up to him with a smile: "Hahaha, Brother Ling is really a busy man. When I went back yesterday, I did what Brother Ling said and really made my father smile. Brother Ling is such a wonderful person, it's a pity that I didn't get to know him earlier. Come on, let me invite Brother Ling to Mingyan Tower for a drink."

Ling Chuan smiled slightly and put on an air of a master: "Brother Zhao, don't worry. I just came back. Let me take a break first. Let's have a cup of tea and chat."

"Yes, yes, yes. Have some tea."

Ling Chuan asked him to sit down, and then told Xiao Taohong to pour tea: "Brother Zhao seemed to have some misunderstandings about me."

"What misunderstanding?"

"The words I taught Brother Zhao yesterday were not for you to deceive the Lord, but because I thought you should practice them. Brother Zhao, do you still remember what I said yesterday?"

"Which one?"

"What men pursue is money and women, right?" Ling Chuan rubbed his fingers and said, "These days, if you have money, you're afraid of not having women. So in the end, money is still the most reliable."

Zhao Youtang didn't understand what Ling Chuan meant, so he smiled and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, silver is the most reliable."

Ling Chuan coughed twice: "Brother Zhao, I'm asking if you are interested in doing business?"

Zhao Youtang finally understood: "To be honest with you, Brother Ling, I was surprised that what I said yesterday could make my father so happy, but when it comes to business, I know nothing about it. Whether I can make money or not is secondary. I am just afraid that I will lose money and disappoint my father."

"Brother Zhao, there is no business in this world that is guaranteed to make a profit, but as long as you do it seriously, whether you make a profit or a loss, I'm sure the Lord won't care. What the Lord cares about is your attitude, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Youtang recalled his father's expression of joy when he heard his words of encouragement yesterday, and he knew that Ling Chuan was right.

When I thought about my brother's sarcastic remarks towards me all day long, I felt very excited.

"Brother Ling is right. I should do something to make my father look at me differently."

As soon as Zhao Youtang finished his boast, his true colors were revealed in the next sentence: "But I've never done business before. Brother Ling, do you have any ideas?"

Ling Chuan smiled and said, "If I don't have any ideas, then what I said yesterday would have been a lie. I have a ready-made deal here, it depends on whether you are interested."

"Brother Ling, please speak."

Ling Chuan pointed at the guys who were carrying glass panels into the shop and said, "This is the glass panel. Do you think it is much better than window paper for sealing windows?"

Zhao Youtang thought for a moment and said, "You mean, selling these colored glaze... panels?

"That's right. My suggestion is that Brother Zhao should take the lead and open a shop specializing in selling these colored glaze panels and other colored glaze items."

Ling Chuan began to deceive: "First of all, this glazed plate is unique to Dasheng. It is so transparent and bright that it can be used to seal the windows. Even if the windows are not opened during the day, the room will be bright. It is a unique business. Are you still worried about not making money?"

Zhao Youtang nodded slowly.

"Secondly, this colored glaze is not only used to seal windows, but can also be used to make a variety of utensils. There are many varieties, such as wine bottles, tea cups, and even jars for snacks. Although it is as brittle as porcelain, it is so transparent and bright. Isn't it more beautiful than those porcelains?"

Zhao Youtang's eyes lit up.

"Finally, there is one more thing. Brother Zhao, you only need to provide a shop and a few employees. I will provide the goods. Even if the business is not good and you lose money, the most you will lose is the rent of the shop and the wages of the employees."

"Okay, okay, this is an easy business, let's do it right away."

Zhao Youtang became excited and pulled Ling Chuan to walk out.

"Brother Zhao, what are you doing?"

"Why don't you find a shop? My family has several shops in the city. Let's go see which one is suitable and use it to do this business."
