Chapter 81: The String of Beads

Now the porcelain of the Great Song Dynasty is really not expensive, and ordinary porcelain bowls are more than ten dollars each.

Even the ordinary Jun kiln porcelain used for tea fighting is only a few dozen pieces of a teacup.

Of course, after the kiln change, it is equivalent to winning the lottery.

In later generations, ordinary porcelain bowls and high-end handmade firewood kiln antique porcelain bowls have a price difference of a thousand times, which is easy.

This principle is suitable for any era, so the jade porcelain products of Shijia Porcelain Workshop, whether it is a glazed porcelain bowl with a glazed bottom or an underglaze crystal flower beauty shoulder bottle, its value is the smallest unit, which is through.

Su You struggled for a long time, but still gave up the industrial layout plan of Meishan City. The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky. The goods in Shuzhong will develop to the best in the future, and take the route of high-end luxury goods, so that it is convenient to bring out Bashan Shushui.

As for mass production, let's talk about it after we get out of the Bashu Mountains.

Ah Homi put down this one and picked it up again, his face full of the shining light of gold coins.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road, the Southern Silk Road, and the Second Forest Department are important control chokepoints.

Reluctantly put down the porcelain: "Brother, how many pieces of jade porcelain can you give my sister like this?" ”

Su You said with a smile: "Sister, what business wants is not a one-shot deal, but a long stream." Otherwise, not to mention two or three thousand, it is ten thousand, one hundred thousand, that is not enough. ”

"The main thing for you on this trip is to buy salt, and secondly, cloth and silk are also a big deal. As for jade porcelain, treasure knives, weaving and dyeing, and books, it is already remarkable that they can be purchased evenly. ”

Ah Homi waved his hand: "The books are no longer needed, and the funds are freed up to purchase the other three." ”

Su You said cautiously: "Sister, this is wrong, the younger brother just thinks that books are the most important." ”

Ah Homi asked, "Oh? What is the rationale for this? ”

Su You said: "When you deal with the Great Song Dynasty, you mostly rely on documents, and when you trade with the Great Song Dynasty, you also rely on contracts. Now the business is just a small fight, so it can't be revealed, but what will happen when the bronze ware is made in large quantities? ”

"When the time comes, Yazhou Rongchang will not be able to fully digest such a large amount of goods for a while, do you want to set up a store in Yanchang to sell it yourself for a long time?"

"In the same way, the field cannot provide you with a large number of goods of equal value to the bronze ware, so can you apply to gather a large number of merchants to come and buy them? Or carry banknotes, huizi, or even directly carry some copperware to Meizhou, Chengdu Mansion, and Bianjing for trade exchanges? ”

"The foreign trade of the Great Song Dynasty has always been based on surplus, that is to say, the things of the Great Song Dynasty are important commodities for you, and your things are dispensable for the Great Song Dynasty."

"It's not a long-term solution, and it's not a healthy business environment."

"But now the situation is different, now you have a large number of commodities that the Great Song Dynasty urgently needs. An effective economic cycle was established between the Erlin Department and the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"There are no losers in this cycle, each takes what he needs and gets his own benefits."

"In this process, the traditional mode of receiving and exchanging goods in the field will not be able to meet the needs, so it will be replaced by customs duties. In the circulation of a large number of goods, the imperial court would reap great benefits from the customs duties. ”

"As long as the benefits of the imperial court in this way are greater than the benefits obtained by monopoly, then it will be a matter of time before the monopoly is broken."

"At that time, the Second Forest Department is the real source of wealth, sister, do you want to achieve that level, you don't have a thorough understanding of the economy, culture, and policies of the Great Song Dynasty, okay?"

"For my sister, there are many advantages to doing this, and the disadvantages are not without it, that is, the dependence of the Erlin Department on the Great Song Dynasty will become stronger and stronger, and it depends on the choice of my sister and the general."

"If you decide to take this path, then the text books of the Great Song Dynasty are the top priority."

"You must cultivate talents who are proficient in Sinology, and even like Goryeo in the Tang Dynasty, a few Jinshi and a few real high-ranking officials will actively speak for you in the court."

Mr. Fan immediately offered his hand and said: "Lord, Mingrun's policy is a righteous and bright move, and it will benefit both sides." ”

Ah Homi held her head with her hands, feeling that she couldn't digest it for a while, this was a big thing that would determine the fate of the tribe, and she didn't dare to make a decision, so she had to say: "Brother, you can't represent the Great Song Dynasty in this matter, and I can't represent the Erlin Department." You have to think long-term. ”

Su You's hand said with a smile: "That is, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, there are no bulk copper products, everything is a mirror." ”

There is a serious problem in the trade of the Great Song Dynasty, just like a rich man who is surrounded by a circle of flowers, and can only play with himself, and the surrounding area is not so much trade as sending it away.

The key is that these are called Hanako's force value is not low, and they all have dog-beating sticks in their hands, and sometimes they are not so easy to dismiss.

Su You's idea is to use the Second Forestry Department as an experiment to change from the model of sending the rich to the poor and calling flowers, to a real mode of mutual exchange, at least in the four roads of the Sichuan Gorge, to establish normal economic circulation and promote economic development.

The law of economic development is the real beast of the flood. This will catalyze a large number of vested interests, and when these people become more powerful, they will use various ways to do everything possible to defend their vested interests, thus changing the superstructure.

If the vast majority of people benefit from a policy, or, taking a step back, a policy benefits only a few people, but does no harm to others, then the policy is theoretically unstoppable.

Now Su You's strength is weak, and he needs to be wronged everywhere, but this does not prevent him from sprinkling some seeds at the right time.

This is true for Jiang Qingsi, and the same is true for the Second Forest Department.

Mr. Fan is a native of the Song Dynasty, and it is his life's ambition to let the surrounding states of Yazhou change the land and return to the stream, and obey Wang Hua. However, in the past, he only thought of training from Dehua, but now Su You suddenly pointed out another more effective path for him, and he couldn't help but admire it.

Lonely and wild for twenty years, I don't know the changes within the Great Song Dynasty, once upon a time, my children in the Great Song Dynasty were already so demonic?

Looking at the situation of the Lord, he was clearly moved by Su You's suggestion, thinking that he had been working hard for so many years, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away......

But he ignored the most important one, interests.

Shi Da was afraid that last night's incident would offend the big high-roller of the main family, and in order to please Ah Homi, he also sent a pair of beads.

There are a total of one hundred and eight beads in jade porcelain, in addition to the small pink beads, there are three large pink and blue lotus beads, and a three-way Buddha head.

Under the Buddha's head is tied an auspicious knot, and two emerald blue tassels are hung.

Ah Homi was overjoyed, took off the silver cloak and hung the beads: "Brother, do you look good?" ”

Su You sorted it out for her: "It's good-looking, but it's upside down, and the spike should be behind it, well, it's better looking." ”

The beads of all colors are actually waste products from the experiment with bearings and transparent glazes, because the iron in the glaze and mud has not been removed, so they are not pure white, but warm colors.

Shi Da was about to throw it away, Su You said Are you crazy, take it and match it according to the size to make it look now.

In order to get a regular spherical shape and uniform glaze, the beads are rotated on the shaft for trimming and glaze, and there is a small hole, which is just the right string of beads.

Then it is packed in a wooden box, and it becomes a proper handicraft.

Don't underestimate beads, trade beads are such a sinful thing, in the Age of Discovery, a string can be exchanged for a slave in Africa!

Seeing Shi Da's hard search, Su You asked him to fetch another larger string for Ah Homi to wear on his hand: "These two things are the goods that the younger brother prepared for his sister to sell to Nanzhao, one is called 'one hundred and eight sons', and the other is called 'eighteen sons'." ”

Ah Homi suddenly understood: "My brother is so smart! The Dharma is prosperous there, and they can't do without this in chanting! ”

Su You smiled: "These two strings of beads, my sister will wear them and play with them first." Alas, it's a pity, if I could have the kind of fiber material of Huohuan cloth, I would be able to make something else for my sister, which is clearer than glass and more colorful than crystal......"

The woman is crazy for the jewelry, Ah Homi fiddled with the pink magnetic beads named "baby red" on her wrist, and smiled so much that her eyes narrowed: "Brother, the main reason for the fire cloth is that it is difficult to weave, but if the fiber is not written into a cloth, you can open your mouth as much as you want!" My sister got it for you! ”
