Chapter 21: Business Opportunities
Li Su's poems were sold until noon.
Business today is not as good as yesterday.
I only earned ten taels of silver all morning.
After noon, the weather became hot and there were fewer people.
He was going to put away the stall, I was afraid that this business would not be easy to do, so he had to think of something else to do.
At this moment, a voice was heard from a distance.
"Mr. Zili! I am back! ”
When he looked up, he saw that it was Nazhu Mountain.
He actually returned early, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
He leaned over with a smile on his face.
Four horseshoes in his hands, as well as dozens of long nails.
"The horseshoe is ready?"
"Yes, okay, these four things actually cost me a hundred yuan! It's too expensive! ”
A hundred wen? It's not very expensive! But at that time, a hundred wen could already buy a lot of things.
But it doesn't matter.
If a set of horseshoes is sold to Cheng Biting Gold consistently, it is one or two silver.
That is, a set of horseshoes can earn 900 wen, 100,000 horses, that is 90,000 taels, it feels good.
Of course, Li Yu also understood the meaning of this product.
"Here are two hundred Wen, if you take it, the more will be regarded as hard work."
"How? Just running errands, don't be so polite. ”
Zhu Shan's eyes lit up.
Before, although he was respectful to Li Su on the surface, in fact, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He didn't get anything, and he had to spend money.
No one is happy.
But how could the shrewd Li Su not understand what he was thinking.
Give him 200 wen directly.
Give him a sweetness first, and then do better things, and drive him to do more.
Otherwise, he is also a civilian now, why should people help you?
The name of a sixth prince is just that, but it is still not recognized. If it weren't for Cheng Yanjin's respect, Zhu Shan might not be so obedient.
"For you, it's for you, don't be wordy!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll take it. ”
Zhu Shan immediately said yes.
Li Su directly gave him two hundred texts and said:
"Come on! Let me see. ”
Zhu Shan immediately handed the horseshoe to him.
He scrutinized the four horseshoes.
This thing has just been made, and the metallic color is very beautiful.
Because he had done his homework before, he tested the hardness and toughness of iron.
As a result, the iron is of good quality and very durable.
"When he made this, the blacksmith said that he had never seen such a smelting, and at first he refused, but then I said that money was not a problem, so he started to do it, but he didn't expect that after making it, he was also shocked. I think it's funny to see his expression. ”
Of course, this method is the smelting method of the future.
The smelted iron is naturally the finest iron.
How can he understand as an ironworker?
"In the end, he adored me, and said that he would let me have a meal with him before he came back. I didn't say yes.
Of course, all this is because of Mr. Zili's strength, which also makes me feel satisfied. ”
Like them, they do business, often make money in harmony, so they are very respectful to people, and rarely respected, and today because of the smelting, the blacksmith shows his admiration for him, which really brings satisfaction to his self-esteem.
Zhu Shan's words became more, and his eyes were full of pride.
Let him do this kind of thing more in the future, it feels too amazing.
Speaking of which, he seemed to think of something.
Then he said:
"Mr. Zili, you are so powerful, you know this! In the future, you will take me to make money together! Whatever you have in the future, just say it! I'm going to do my best. ”
Judging from the fact that he earned dozens of taels of silver in one day alone.
Li Su's earning power is very strong.
And then look at the fact that this ironmaking was praised.
This sixth prince is very different.
That's why Zhu Shan has this kind of thought.
Li Su raised his head and stared at him for a while.
A little thoughtful.
He was so frightened that he thought he had said the wrong thing.
"Mr. Zili...... Am I saying the wrong thing? ”
Li Su ignored him, and directly searched for it in the browser, and Zhu Shan's entry was updated again.
Zhu Shan...... Assist the six princes who live among the people to carry out the great cause of developing the Tang Dynasty, be loyal and do their best. ……
And his name is one more, the richest man in Chang'an!
Hum! Interesting!
Then this guy can really be subdued.
I won't rebel against myself yet!
"Mr. Zili......"
"Nope! If you want to follow me, it's not impossible, but you have to listen to me in everything, there is no possibility of disobedience, and I naturally won't treat you badly, so you understand? ”
Zhu Shan was overjoyed.
"Well, that's great. It's so hot outside, let's go inside, I'll buy ice and come back to cool you down. Get some ice honey water to drink, it's very comfortable! ”
Zhu Shan said.
In ancient times, there was ice in the summer.
That's because someone had dug an ice cellar the previous winter and kept the ice in it.
for use in the coming year.
Under normal circumstances, the palace is inevitable, but it is not much, after all, this kind of project is too large and extremely financially expensive.
And the people, too, there are, but the price is very high.
With honey, he's bloody.
From this point of view, Zhu Shan took the initiative to please himself, and it seems that he attaches great importance to cooperation with himself.
"Ice?"
Li Su seemed to have thought of something.
"Yes, Ice!"
"How much?"
"A small bowl of ice fifty wen!"
A bowl of fifty wen? That's too lucrative, isn't it?
The so-called scarcity is expensive.
This may be a business opportunity.
It's so hot, why not give it a go?
"Little money, as long as it keeps you from getting hot, it's all worth it, you wait, I'll go buy a piece of ice and come back."
A piece, how much is that?!
After that, it's time to go out.
"You wait!"
Li Su seemed to have a business in mind.
Ice-making, yes, ice-making.
As long as you can build it, you still have no money?
He then searched quickly.
I found saltpeter ice, and I found a specific method.
It is achievable now.
If you have ice, you're basically making a lot of money.
Zhu Shan stood there motionless, not knowing why he had stopped.
And he stood still, but he didn't say why.
"Huh? What's wrong? Don't you want it? ”
"Where is there a nitrate mine near Chang'an?"
Zhu Shan was puzzled, why did he ask this.
But he still said: "There is a nitrate mine in the east of the city, which is about to be deserted, and no one has mined it for a long time." ”
Saltpeter has no effect at all for the current Datang.
Because they don't know how to take advantage of it.
"Is that so?"
"What is this for, you ask?"
"You bring two copper basins, one large and one small, and come with me."
"Where to go? Cheng? ”
"That's right, hurry up!"
As I said earlier, you must obey unconditionally.
Zhu Shan didn't dare to disobey, and directly took two copper basins and went to the east of the city.
