Xiyang City, Xiyang Palace, craftsmen are installing glass windows, and Shi Ligang, the head of the palace, is inspecting the installation sites everywhere to strictly supervise whether the glass size used in the glass windows meets the regulations, and no over-regulation is allowed.

The envoys sent by the imperial court had just left, and the official letter they sent on this trip specifically replied to the installation of glass windows: it must not exceed the specifications of the glass sheets of the tribute palace, that is, one foot square, and the thickness is arbitrary.

Although there is no precedent to follow, and the imperial court does not intend to prohibit the use of glass windows by the people, in line with this principle, the size of the glass sheets installed outside the palace is naturally smaller.

The envoy traveled 200 miles a day, and it only took seven days to arrive in Xiyang from Yecheng, with the "latest instructions" of the imperial court, the Huangzhou glass kiln, which had already been prepared, went all out to make glass pieces, and the official eunuchs in Xiyang City began to brew to replace the glass windows.

The premise is that you can buy glass pieces, and the demand in Shannan is also very strong.

The glass kilns in Huangzhou are divided into official kilns and private kilns, all of which are newly put into operation, and the glass pieces produced by the official kilns are given priority to supply the capital, and the demand for the imperial palace is very large, and the demand for the prime minister and other powerful people is greater, so I think that the official kiln has to wait for several months to buy glass.

But Xiyang Wangfu is an exception, because there is a glass kiln under the name of Xiyang Wang, and the windows in the palace will be replaced as soon as possible after the approval of the imperial court, of course, this cost must be borne by Xiyang Wangfu itself.

Li Gang transferred to the Dongfang Shogunate, and the office of the shogunate adjutant was also replacing the glass windows, and a group of adjutantical officials were chattering around the side.

"It's so transparent! In this way, the indoor lighting is significantly better. ”

"In this way, you don't have to open the windows in winter to ensure the light, and you are not afraid of the cold wind."

"Hey, hey, I heard that the market price of such a piece of glass has risen to 900 yuan a piece, and it takes more than a dozen times to make a window, which is too expensive."

"Expensive? Even if you have the money to buy it, you may not be able to buy it right away, don't think about the official kiln, there are four private kilns in Xiyang City, according to the first come, first served, the queue has to wait until a few months later! ”

Seeing Li Gang coming here from a distance, everyone scattered like birds and beasts, returning to their respective positions and pretending to deal with affairs, but the fresh energy was still there, and from time to time I looked at the glass windows that were being installed by the window.

The King of Xiyang is really generous, not only the large-scale replacement of glass windows in the palace, but also the office space of the shogunate, although the cost of glass will not be 900 yuan, but it costs a lot of money to replace so many glass windows.

In fact, whether the windows are changed or not will not affect the operation of the shogunate, but the king of Xiyang did not hesitate, allowing the adjutants to get close to the water and get the moon first, and added talking points to relatives and friends.

Coupled with the good food in the shogunate's house and the dormitory with good conditions, King Xiyang, as the lord of the mansion, took really good care of their staff, especially the "purchasing agent".

Seeing Li Gang turn out of the courtyard, the staff breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the room became warm again.

Cloth, books, paper, down, white porcelain, as long as you carry the fluttering circulation coupons to the streets, after the money earned by purchasing every month to subsidize the family, there is still a lot left, and the dowry of the daughter-in-law can be counted on the purchase!

"I'm telling you, there's a discount event in the city this month..."

One person took out a few pieces of propaganda paper, and began to analyze it, they are now relying on the dart line to "deliver" the purchasing agent, although the farther they go, the higher the cost, but they still have to make money after careful calculation.

"Na, what about Xiangyang, there has been a shortage of down recently, especially duck down..."

"It can't be! A few days ago, several big shopkeepers in Xiangzhou just swept the eiderdown in Huangzhou. ”

"You don't understand that, do you? They were bought by Liangzhou Hanzhong! The mountains there... Well, the mountain people don't have much money, but they can stand the smell of ducks and are willing to exchange mountain goods. ”

"Let's talk about it! Those heads, village owners, and cave owners like the smell of ducks? ”

"Of course those people want goose down, and the rest of them can be made up with duck down stuffing, and the number of ducks they raise is not enough, so it is better to buy them."

Several people began to share the market situation, and Liu Wenjing on the side was entangled, wondering whether to stop it by saying anything, and it was not appropriate to talk about private matters during official hours, but he glanced at the wall clock and found that it was time to release the office, so he didn't make a sound.

Xiyang Wang's good means, by giving the staff a "discount" discount, encourage everyone to do purchasing agents, which not only gives the staff more economic resources, reduces the tendency of corruption and bribery, but also indirectly promotes the development of Huangzhou's commerce.

It is not only the officials of the Xiyang King Shogunate who do the purchasing, but also the officials of the various yamen in Huangzhou, most of whom are doing part-time purchasing.

At least there is no extortion of the people on the surface, and those who dare to do it have long been arrested and sent to the quarry to work as coolies.

The officials have lived here for generations, and now there are so many business opportunities in Huangzhou, just being a middleman to introduce the income from buying and selling is very considerable, or renting out a house to collect rent, who lacks the heart and eye to provoke Shangguan?

Thinking of this, looking at those colleagues who were chatting enthusiastically, Liu Wenjing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the methods of King Xiyang were really good, and imperceptibly, Xiyang, even Huangzhou and other states and counties, had formed an interest group.

Various industries in Huangzhou have been related to the jobs of countless people, such as the printing industry, which has fed many people with school books, plate making, papermaking, and bamboo cutting, and other industries are like this, and the strong demand for long-distance transportation has directly contributed to the emergence of dart shops.

The number of registered households in Huangzhou has exceeded 40,000, and the floating population has actually exceeded 50,000 with the addition of floating populations from other places.

The popularity is strong, and the corresponding liquor shops, restaurants, tea shops, music shops, restaurants, shipping, loading and unloading are all prosperous, and everyone from the common people to large households has benefited from the prosperity of various industries.

Officers and soldiers in the army, local officials, owners of mountain villages, large and small local snakes from all over the country, and even treacherous officials have become beneficiaries, and this situation has not only existed in Huangzhou, but also in other states and counties in the Huangzhou Governor's Office.

Yuwenwen, the king of Xiyang, unknowingly, turned the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion into a group through the bond of interests, and the vast majority of people in this group have a positive attitude towards the king of Xiyang and have a good impression.

Liu Wenjing knows a little bit of the inside story, the glass that has attracted huge attention this time, in fact, the king of Xiyang has already mastered the manufacturing technology, but this one did not choose to enjoy it exclusively, but chose to benefit everyone, and authorized several owners to share the process to open a glass kiln and make a fortune together.

He also opened an official kiln, took the initiative to pay tribute to the emperor with glass, and displayed glass windows in Yecheng with great fanfare, all in order to open the market: the palace and the prime minister's mansion installed glass windows, so other magnates and families would inevitably follow suit.

Glass windows are expensive, and only those who have the power and money can afford to consume them, so the glass industry is the buying and selling of these people, and Yuwenwen will raise the glass window to the status of tribute as soon as he comes up, which can be said to be a high starting point.

The output of a place has become a tribute, in fact, there are pros and cons, but as long as the quantity is sufficient, it is not a matter, the glass produced by the official kiln in Huangzhou is specially tributed, and the glass produced by the kiln is used to make money, this arrangement shows that Yuwenwen is a veteran of trading.

Is Yu Wenwen really doing business? No.

Liu Wenjing is like a mirror in this regard, Yu Wenwen is not so much doing business, but rather taking all the forces of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion to make money together, as the Governor of Huangzhou, it is not so much to govern the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion as to run the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Coupled with the Tiger Forest Army, which can fight extremely well, as well as the ideas that flow out inadvertently in words and deeds, Liu Wenjing noticed Yuwenwen's hidden ambitions.

Ambitious? What's wrong with that?

It is precisely because of this that I will come to Huangzhou!
