A convoy of glass transported by the Liang Chamber of Commerce left the People's Army-ruled area and slowly drove into the jurisdiction of General Lin in Linwu County, the Daming ruling area.

There was a blue flag hanging at the front of the convoy, and when General Lin's subordinates saw the convoy with the blue flag, they knew that it was transporting glass, so they didn't even stop it, and let it go directly.

The convoy kept moving forward, and finally stopped in Linwu County, the Liang Chamber of Commerce, the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, and General Lin's henchmen gathered together, and the Liang Chamber of Commerce handed over this batch of glass costing 5,000 yuan to the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, and the Zhang Chamber of Commerce counted the glass mirrors and transparent glass, and finally handed over 48,000 taels of silver to the Liang Chamber of Commerce.

There are more and more flat cement roads in the People's Army-ruled areas, but the glass cannot avoid breaking during transportation, and the Zhang Chamber of Commerce even accepts the broken glass, and can sell it at a slightly lower price if it is processed.

As soon as the transaction ended, the Liang Chamber of Commerce handed over 8,600 taels of silver to General Lin's henchmen, which was a 20% share of the profits of the glass business for General Lin.

It is these two percent profit sharing that is very important to ensure that the glass business smoothly passes through the People's Army-ruled area and the Ming Dynasty-ruled area.

Eight thousand six hundred taels of silver were collected at one time, and the glass business had been going on for a year, and the Liang Chamber of Commerce alone had to transport a batch of glass over every month, and the quantity of each batch of glass had been determined, and the cost was 5,000 yuan.

This is a trade route opened up by the Liang Chamber of Commerce, but this trade route is also borrowed by merchants in other People's Army-ruled areas, and at least five batches of glass will be transported to the Ming ruled area through this trade route within a month.

Every time the glass business, General Lin had to take 20% of the profits from the merchants in the People's Army-ruled area, at least 30,000 taels of silver a month, and the merchants in the Ming-ruled area would also give General Lin a share of the profits after selling the glass, and he would also avoid the merchants in the People's Army-ruled area.

At least 60,000 taels of silver a month, which is already a very large amount, when the glass business is improving, there are other generals in the Ming army who take a fancy to the glass business and want to replace General Lin.

In order to keep his position, General Lin directly took out nine-tenths of his income in silver, most of which was used to honor his superiors, and a small part was shared with his colleagues, and the remaining six thousand taels of silver was also a large amount.

Some people are watching General Lin, and naturally some people are watching the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, and the Zhang Chamber of Commerce has also taken out most of the profits from the glass business to honor the big men and share the profits of the collaborators in various regions, even so, the Zhang Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money in the past year, and the income has more than doubled than before.

The glass mirrors and transparent glass transported from the People's Army-ruled area were transported by the Zhang Chamber of Commerce and others to be sold in various parts of the Daming Dynasty.

Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, which are the closest to the People's Army's ruling areas, have a slightly cheaper glass price, and the farther away from the People's Army's ruling areas, the more the glass prices gradually increase, but they are not too high to the point that a palm-sized glass mirror is only sold for about ten taels of silver in the capital.

The price of small pieces of glass has not increased much, but large pieces of glass are more likely to break during transportation, and the largest glass mirror will be sold for more than 5,000 taels of silver when it is sent to the capital.

Even if the price of the glass mirror is so high, once it is transported to the capital, it will soon be bought by the powerful, especially the queens and concubines in the palace, each of whom has at least one glass mirror, or bought it with their own money, or honored by outsiders.

In the capital, glass mirrors and transparent glass have become the objects of comparison among the powerful, and if you have the largest glass mirror, then I will press the doors and windows of my home to glass.

The comparison of the powerful also affects the "ordinary people", who are reluctant to buy large glass mirrors, and palm-sized glass mirrors can still afford to buy.

In the competition, the glass mirrors transported to the capital by the merchants will soon be sold out.

The capital is the place with the most powerful and wealthy people in the Ming ruling area, but the purchasing power of all parts of the Ming ruling area is several times higher than that of the capital, and glass is almost in short supply in the Ming ruling area.

A glass business, in the People's Army, Shangjia, Ming Court, Ming Army, no one stopped it, but wanted to get more benefits in it.

As the generalissimo of the "thief" generalissimo commanding an army of nearly one million, Li Chengliang knows the glass mirror business very well, as long as Li Chengliang orders, the glass mirror produced in the people's army-ruled area will not be transported to the Ming ruled area at all.

But Li Chengliang did not do this, and the low-ranking generals received a share of the profits of the glass business, at least forty percent of which were directly sent to Li Chengliang.

Getting so much silver is enough for Li Chengliang for the time being, if he sends someone to take over the glass business, it will make many generals complain, Li Chengliang wants to subdue the generals of the Ming army as much as possible, naturally he will not go too far, and even reduce the proportion of the share to thirty percent.

Li Chengliang mainly rewarded the silver obtained from the glass business to other generals, and "bought" them little by little.

Li Chengliang attaches great importance to the glass business, through the investigation of spies who entered the area ruled by the People's Army, Li Chengliang knew that the glass was produced in the area ruled by the People's Army, Li Chengliang thought that after the People's Army was exterminated, he would obtain the glass technology, and then the glass business would be in his own hands, and the benefits would be unimaginable.

There are many people in the Ming ruling area who know that glass is produced in Guangdong, but there are almost no people who know the production of glass, on the one hand, the glass is fragile and troublesome, and it is not easy to transport it to various places, and it is quickly robbed, on the other hand, the glass mirror was very expensive before, and now the price of the glass mirror has dropped to one-tenth or even lower than before, and I don't want to miss this opportunity, so I quickly bought it with silver.

In fact, there are a very small number of people who feel that the glass business is wrong, and guess that the price of glass will continue to decline in the future, at most it is to spend money to buy a two-sided glass mirror, and then buy a little more when the price drops in the future.

This small number of people are right, if the Ming Court is destroyed by the People's Army, there will be more or less low-priced glass at that time, but whether they can survive to that time is still a question, where the People's Army passes, there are not many wealthy gentry and businessmen who can survive.

Glass is sold in the Ming Dynasty, and the sales volume in the People's Army-ruled area is gradually increasing, the people in the People's Army-ruled area have ushered in the third harvest year, and the savings in their hands are gradually increasing, a palm-sized glass mirror is only a dime equal to the currency, a very low price, the newlywed couple must have a glass mirror in their homes, and there are many husbands who buy glass mirrors for their wives.

The price of glass in the KPA-ruled areas is not high, and the income earned is relatively small, but the KPA pays more attention to the sales and production of glass, which in turn affects industrial development.
