"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is nothing to do left and right, let's go and see those little matches that sell eunuchs, how about it?"

Zong Shu's proposal made Lin Lingsu a little worried.

The match was something he took the Taoist researcher to make for three days and three nights.

Everyone endured the smell of urine, extracted phosphorus, and then heated it under pressure to form red phosphorus.

Of course, all this mainly depends on Zong Shu's full guidance.

It was originally a very good money-making business, but Zong Shu didn't say a word and handed it over to the eunuch Liang Shicheng.

There are a lot of places that need to spend money now, and Lin Lingsu, as the person in charge of the Mi County base, is distressed when he sees the silver flowing out.

Look at the Great Song Academy of Sciences, the students recruited have silver to get, not to mention teaching.

The prince became the president of the Great Song Academy of Sciences, and a champion was born among the hundred workers.

It is conceivable that because of these two incidents, there will be many people in the Great Song Academy of Sciences vying to get in.

And Zong Shu gave him a new recruitment target. The more people you hire, the more you spend.

Now, the money that Zong Shu subsidizes here is all earned from making warm pavilions and selling charcoal.

The production of iodophor is very large, because kelp is never out of stock.

Penicillin production is limited.

The Great Song Liquor Industry has not yet been officially launched, and the wine brewed, Lin Lingsu feels that it is already the same as the fairy liquid, but Zong Shu still feels dissatisfied.

The business of matches, once it is opened, will be used by everyone from the royal family to the common people, and this is definitely a profitable business.

Zong Shu is the master, Lin Lingsu didn't dare to say anything if he had questions, and he also followed the prince and Zong Shu to see how the eunuchs sold matches.

On the street, Liang Shicheng sat on a Taishi chair.

The rest of the eunuchs set up a few tables, on which were placed a dozen boxes of matches.

A little eunuch held a piece of paper and read the advertising slogan: "Come and see, come and see, the new fire sickle descends to the world, a match and a meal." ”

There were already a lot of people around the table, everyone was joining in the fun and asking the price, but no one made a move.

A small eunuch was spreading an account book, which was still blank, and there was obviously no transaction record.

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the match Wang comes from the fragrance of the night."

The little eunuch continued to read the slogan.

Nightshade? You get it.

It turns out that this is a match.

Zong Shu and the national teacher Lin Lingsu made a new type of fire sickle, called a match, which was made of night incense in the palace.

Later, Zong Shu gave this match to Liang Shicheng.

"A gift from the royal family, a great gift for a home visit!"

A crowd began to shout for a match, so a little eunuch began to demonstrate how to draw matches.

With a stroke, the matches made by Liang Shicheng are of good quality.

Still no one bought it, Lin Lingsu found out that the price of a box of matches was: one or two silver.

"Master, isn't this price too high?"

Lin Lingsu felt that this might be the reason why no one bought matches.

A tael of silver to buy a box of matches is not cost-effective no matter how you think about it.

"It's not high at all, because this price is the cost price!" Zong Shu said with a smile.

Liang Shicheng and his eunuchs are not stupid at all, they are very good at settling accounts.

A tael of silver to make a box of matches. Isn't that too costly?

Zong Shu explained that extracting phosphorus from urine requires more urine, but the phosphorus extracted is pitifully small.

The key is that the extraction process is very cumbersome, and it takes so much effort to make that little bit.

Even if mass production is achieved, the cost of matches will not be reduced much.

How much this cost is only known by making it yourself.

Ordinary consumers, where will they know the cost?

So, when they look at a box of matches and a tael of silver, they feel like they are robbing money.

"Don't think that if you make something new, you can make money. Whether you make money or not, look at the quality of things, and look at cost control. ”

Zong Shu began to teach Lin Lingsu a lesson and enlightened him about the market economy.

Lin Lingsu is the dean, and he is also the person in charge of Dasong Liquor and Dasong Pharmaceutical, who must understand both product development and market operation.

"Matches are different from warm pavilions and pavilions, matches are just ordinary consumer goods, neither luxury nor necessities. The average family would rather use a scythe that is lit once ten times than such an expensive match. ”

Zong Shu's explanation, the prince also understood.

For ordinary people, what about a few more fires?

The fire sickle is slow and inefficient, but it also has an advantage: it is cheap.

The time of ordinary people is not worth anything at all, they have a lot of free time.

Matches are just a little faster, but they are not only sold for a tael of silver.

Therefore, despite the efforts of the little eunuchs, the advertising slogan was as close to the people as possible, and the royal words were also added.

Useless! What the people like is affordable!

"So, will the rich and noble buy it?" Zhao Huan raised a question.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this question is good!" Zong Shu affirmed the prince: "Learning, learning, is to ask in middle school and in learning." ”

Zong Shu analyzed the characteristics of the rich and noble, at least they would not come to light the fire and hold the lamp in person.

The people in charge of purchasing are stewards, and they only think about reducing costs and where to buy such expensive things.

Unlike things like monosodium glutamate and fifteen incense, if you don't put it, the owner immediately feels that the taste is wrong.

Without matches, it does not affect the quality of life of the rich and noble.

Therefore, there is no market for matches in the current Great Song Dynasty, unless they are sold very cheaply.

Hearing Zong Shu's conclusion, Lin Lingsu and Zhao Huan also understood.

Matches were made from phosphorus extracted from night incense at that time.

When it was successful, Lin Lingsu and the Taoist researchers were all excited.

They thought they had found another way to make money.

Because of matches, everyone's quality of life will be on a higher level.

Unexpectedly, this match did not make money at all.

Zong Shu made matches at that time, and it was only to extract things from the night incense, so as to end his career of collecting night incense in the palace.

Now it seems that Zong Shu gave the match business to Liang Shicheng at that time, and he was already digging a pit for Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng extracted phosphorus from night incense and made matches, and spent 1,000 taels of silver to purchase relevant equipment from the Great Song Academy of Sciences.

These equipment are not worth a thousand taels of silver at all, and Zong Shu instructed Lin Lingsu that he must sell it at a higher price, and Liang Shicheng has no other procurement channels anyway.

Looking at it now, Liang Shicheng will not be able to earn back this thousand taels of silver if he collects another Chinese New Year's Eve incense and makes matches for another year.

"For Liang Shicheng, the match business is a hot potato, and he doesn't dare to throw it, and he can't hold it." Zong Shu said with a smile.

Potato? What is Yam?

Lin Lingsu thought to himself that Zong Shu's meaning might be to describe Liang Shicheng's next embarrassment.

Don't do a match business anymore? Huizong is still counting on Liang Shicheng to make money. Liang Shicheng can't give up halfway.

What's the use of Liang Shicheng sticking to it? The eunuchs dealt with Yexiang every day, and they had to pay a little hard money to make matches.

The matches can't be sold, and Liang Shicheng has no money to reward, so if you want to reward, you have to use your personal pocket.

Liang Shicheng really didn't know when he provoked Zong Shu, and was set up by Zong Shu to set up such a game, and Liang Shicheng was willing to get in.

No wonder Bianliang has a saying: cherish fame and stay away from Zongshu.

Liang Shicheng was really stinked by Zong Shu this time, and he had to deal with Yexiang every day.

"Lingsu apprentice, next, our Great Song Academy of Sciences, start the match business." Zong Shu said with a smile.

Zhao Huan:%¥#*

Lin Lingsu was a little messy.
