Chapter 068: This Should Be Used to Make Money!
Liu Wenjing took it, and the three of them met head-to-head, regardless of standing in someone's shed, and began to study on the spot.
The cattle blacksmith waited tremblingly beside him, and he was shocked to see these nobles, and he didn't dare to interject at all.
"Leave them alone." Liu Qi soothed, "If there are any problems and problems in the production process, let's hear about it." ”
The bull blacksmith thought for a while before saying, "The recipe given by the eldest prince is good, and the villain can succeed after trying it a few times." It's just that because the temperature is not high enough, there will always be some impurities and bubbles left, which can't meet the standard mentioned by Childe......"
Liu Qi was stunned.
In fact, according to his standards, the glass cup that was shocked by the three of them is simply a substandard product.
Not to mention that it is not completely transparent, you can also see a lot of bubbles in it.
It was precisely because of the high temperature required for burning paper glass that he specially found a blacksmith, but it still seems that it is not enough.
However, with the manufacturing level of the three countries, such results are enough to surprise.
"It's okay, you study slowly, don't rush." Liu Qi said tolerantly.
The cattle blacksmith was chosen by him to specialize in glassmaking, so he naturally wanted to keep improving.
After all, only when the technology of glass manufacturing is improved, can artifacts such as mirrors, telescopes, magnifying glasses, and microscopes be able to be made.
As for the glass factory that is about to open, with the current technology, it is enough to produce the high-quality products that everyone dreams of, but there is no need to postpone it.
"Lord, this, this, this is really ...... It's amazing! ”
The three of them finally finished looking at the glass-made hair, and at the same time gasped.
Then, there is inexplicable righteous indignation.
"It turns out that the cost of glass is so low, those profiteers dare to deceive us, it's really bold!"
Well, that's a mistake.
Liu Qi hurriedly explained: "The production methods of colored glass are different, maybe the cost of people is really high, and it is not as convenient as the method recorded in this book." ”
No one agrees with this explanation.
However, it is not an important question whether the businessman is treacherous or not, Liu Wenjing, Xu Shu and Guo Jia are all human spirits, and they immediately thought of what the most important thing was.
"Dare to ask the lord, what are you going to do with this low-cost glass?"
Liu Qi had already thought about it, and talked eloquently at this time: "Then it needs to be said, of course, it is used for people's livelihood!" ”
"This ...... There are many uses for glaze, making windows, tableware, and can also be used in farming, and it also has a role in the military, which is simply omnipotent! In less than a year, the people under my Jingzhou rule will be able to afford to use the glazed ......"
As he spoke, Liu Qi found that something was not right, why didn't anyone echo him?
When I looked up, the three of them were all full of disapproval.
"How?" Liu Qi was curious, "Gentlemen don't agree?" ”
"With all due respect, if you follow the usage method that the lord said, it will be a tyrannical thing!"
This is the heartbroken Xu Shu.
"In the period of development, the Lord needs countless money and food, and he can't afford to raise a million soldiers just by relying on the people to farm and collect taxes."
This is a faintly mocking Guo Jia.
"Lord, you first promoted soybean oil, and then cement, all of which happened in the month, and the things for people's livelihood are enough for the time being. Wouldn't it be better to wait until this glass brings enough benefits to the lord, and then gradually turn it to the people's livelihood? ”
This is Liu Wenjing, who is kind and seductive.
All in all, glass should be used to make money!
Liu Qi blinked, and instinctively retorted that the people's lives are the most important thing, and where can the money be earned.
But before I could say it, I realized that I was stupid.
He went to see the cattle blacksmith: "Do you think that if the price is low enough, the people will buy glass products for home use?" ”
The cattle blacksmith trembled and expressed a firm veto: "The eldest son, if the younger ones have extra money, they still like to buy more food and clothing, or save up to marry their daughters-in-law......
The implication is that what glass, no need.
Liu Qi: "......"
It's good that I made the mistake of empiricism again, and put the modern experience in the late Han Dynasty.
If it is in the world, it is natural to let low-cost glass enter thousands of households and improve the living standards of the people.
However, now is a troubled time, and eating and surviving is the only prayer of the people!
Even if the price of glass is lowered, I am afraid that only the people of Yancheng can afford it. In other places, it is the wealthy and the princes who are cheap.
I can't eat enough to eat, I can't survive, where will I get the spare money to buy something else?
Liu Qi closed his eyes and sighed: "It's me who is narrow-minded, but fortunately, the three gentlemen reminded me in time." ”
Liu Wenjing and others are right, instead of reducing the cost of showing off their wealth, it is better to make a lot of money and let them fund themselves to raise soldiers and support the people!
"Blacksmith, you've done a good job, and someone will bring you a reward later. Continue the effort to remove all impurities as soon as possible. ”
After appeasing the cattle blacksmith, Liu Qi took people back to the Grand Prince's Mansion - the holy decree has not arrived, and the name cannot be changed yet - this time, the mood seems to be much calmer.
Liu Wenjing and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and they both saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes.
It's okay if the lord is not thoughtful, as long as he can humbly accept advice, otherwise what do you want their advisers to do?
Only Guo Jia is still the same as a hanger, and no one knows what he is thinking.
Back in the study, Liu Qi put down the glass cup with interest: "The manufacturing method of the glass has been seen by three people, how to maximize the benefits and earn the most money, please teach me!" ”
Liu Wenjing, as the mastermind, said at this time: "Since the manufacturing process is strictly confidential, the mass production of exquisite glass products is sold all over the world." It is not advisable to involve the family too much in this matter, and it is best to be in charge of the lord himself. ”
Liu Qi nodded: "That's right, the benefits for the family are enough, and if you continue to give it, it will be easy to raise some people's minds." ”
That's why Kuai Liang wasn't called.
Liu Wenjing is summoned, and it has nothing to do with any family. Xu Shu was born in a family, but he has already become a fugitive.
Guo Jia was born in a family, but he was only a poor family, and he was born not in the same camp as the wealthy family.
In front of them, there is no need to hide the jealousy of the family.
And his Liu family is not short of money, and the glaze business is profitable and inconspicuous, which is the best choice for his family's monopoly.
Xu Shu suddenly spoke: "Dare to ask the lord, will you inform the envoy of this matter?" ”
Liu Qi was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it.
Xu Shu smiled: "Do you remember what Xu Shu said yesterday?" The envoy is in charge of Jingzhou, and there have been many wars in recent years, and the treasury must not be so sufficient. ”
"Why don't you use the reason of rewarding the new technique as a reason to teach the master face-to-face?"
In the last four words, Xu Shu accentuated his tone.
Liu Qi immediately got the other party's meaning, and also smiled: "That's right, since I became an adult, I have rarely had the opportunity to have a long talk with my father, and this is a good opportunity." I should send a letter to my father, saying that the disposal of Zhang Yun is meaningless, and I will return to Hanshou to report on my work in the near future! ”
