Chapter 133, The Glass Factory

Liu Jin originally thought that it would take a little time for Zhu Houzhao to raise money, at least, it should take a few days.

But who knows, the next day, when Liu Jin was still in the quilt and couldn't get up, Zhu Houzhao found Liu Jin again and lifted Liu Jin's quilt again.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

Zhu Houzhao was holding a stack of silver tickets in his hand, and the whole person was in a hurry.

"I said Brother Zhu, can you not lift the quilt, it will seriously affect my mood for a day."

is very helpless, Liu Jin got up very reluctantly, with Zhu Houzhao here, it is obviously impossible to continue to sleep lazily.

Looking at the things in Zhu Houzhao's hand, Liu Jin said: "You shouldn't take some treasure money to fool me, let's say okay first, I don't want treasure money, that thing is too hard to use as toilet paper." ”

"Do you have any vision, this is a silver ticket, a silver ticket from the Four Seas Money Village, a full five thousand taels of silver, it should be enough to build a glass workshop, and then buy a shop or something."

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and shook the silver ticket in his hand.

"Five thousand taels of silver, well, that should be so-so enough."

Liu Jin calculated a little quickly in his mind, the purchasing power of five thousand taels of silver in this era is naturally leveraged, enough to build another large-scale workshop, and enough to buy a shop in the capital to sell glass products.

"Whew~"

"It's good to have enough, it's good to have enough, or I'm going to my father's study again....."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to himself, and when he talked about the back, he seemed to realize that he had stopped quickly.

Then he put one of his hands on Liu Jin's shoulder and said, "Old Liu, this is the five thousand taels of silver I got at the risk of my life, you must earn some more money for me." ”

"Well, my requirements are not high, every year is similar to Xishan Coal Industry, and it is enough to be able to give me hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in dividends a year."

"Ahem~"

Liu Jin suddenly couldn't help coughing a few times and then said: "You think this silver is a stone, hundreds of thousands of taels a year...... Our Ming treasury is only less than 3 million taels of silver tax a year. ”

"So, this glass doesn't make money with honeycomb coal?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he suddenly became a little unenergetic.

"Of course, you have to make more money than honeycomb coal, isn't it hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, you just wait to count the money, and when the time comes, I will let you count the money until your hands cramp."

Liu Jin smiled, immediately changed his face, and said very confidently.

"Haha, I'll just say, everyone must like such a good thing as glass, how can it be compared to honeycomb coal."

"In the future, whether I can spend all my time drinking, wind and snow, and poverty and luxury depends on Lao Liu, tsk, or am I smart, I can see at a glance that this glass must be very valuable."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately laughed happily, and then began to think about how to spend money in the future.

"When I have money, I must build a big garden, where I can run horses, and get some jackals, tigers and leopards and the like, I have thought about it, this garden is called a leopard house."

"Leopard room?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao had such an idea when he built a leopard house at a very young age in history, and then thought about it and said: "You don't call it a leopard room, you call it a zoo." ”

"Zoo?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he touched his chin and said, "This name is good, zoo, zoo, haha, it's called a zoo." ”

"Definitely, these jackals, tigers and leopards are there, it's not a zoo, I think more animals can be collected, and then open to the public, every person who enters will charge him more than a dozen yuan for tickets, believe it or not, this zoo can also earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year?"

Liu Jin shook his head slightly in his heart, this Zhu Houzhao is still very playful, and he can only be induced, not forced.

"Tsk, Lao Liu, what is in your head?"

"You can think of such a profitable business, don't say it, if you really build such a zoo, it will definitely make money."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Liu Jin carefully again, and then said: "Well, it's called a zoo, and in the future, I will collect all kinds of animals from the north and south of the sea on this day." ”

"Like you said, American cougars, African lions, elephants, crocodiles, etc., when the time comes, get a zoo, and I will pay tickets."

“……”

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, Liu Jin shook his head helplessly.

With the silver and the technology, this person is already overcrowded in Xishan, and the honeycomb coal produced every day is no longer sold.

Liu Jin took 10,000 people directly from Xishan and began to build a new large-scale glass factory in a place not far from Xishan Village.

The firing of this glass is not too technically difficult, as long as the raw materials and firing methods are mastered, it is not possible to fire glass, the most critical and core is to fire colorless glass.

Colorless glass is the most difficult, the history of glass burning in Europeans is very long, and even can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian period, but the history of colorless glass firing is very short, after a long time of exploration to slowly summarize the technology of firing colorless glass.

If this glass wants to make money, it must be bought and sold exclusively to make money, there is no doubt about it.

At this time, there are very few Daming glass, very little, only a very small number of glass from Europe, because the number is small, so the price is extremely expensive, and even the name is called glass, which shows how high the price of this glass is.

This shows that in Daming, the glass market is a blank market, and Daming has a large population, and it is definitely the most powerful and rich country on the earth during this period.

But in the same way, there will be many, many people who are red-eyed and want a piece of the pie.

This is also the reason why Liu Jin chose to cooperate with Zhu Houzhao, because it is necessary to have a strong enough backer, and it is not enough to have a backer for the same light, and it is also necessary to firmly grasp the technology of firing glass, especially colorless glass, in his own hands.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin also began to get busy.

In this era, it is not easy to keep the glass manufacturing technology secret, because those powerful people are always everywhere, so it is necessary to carry out meticulous and in-depth design of all aspects of the glass factory, and make full use of the technical advantages that cannot be replaced by others to keep their wealth.
