Li Zicheng first taught the students a morning class, and when it was close to noon, he returned to the back office, and Mu Qingshan had been waiting in the study of the middle office for more than an hour.

"I'm really sorry to keep Master Mu waiting for a long time."

"Haha, everyone knows that adults are busy people, and besides, Rong'er, the little girl of the grass people, is also studying in the adult's school!" Mu Qingshan laughed, but he couldn't figure out Li Zicheng's intentions.

Li Zicheng may be the busiest person in Xining, please eat by yourself, it is definitely not as simple as wine tasting, if there is really something important, why did you take a half-day class and waste your good time in vain.

Could it be that Li Zicheng really regards Xining Girls' School as so important?

"Haha, Lord Mu, please!"

The two of them were judging the wine at the table, saying something that was neither salty nor light.

Suddenly, a golden light shot out from the house# and rushed to Mu Qingshan's eyes, startling him, "Ah......" He suddenly felt dizzy, thinking that he had met an assassin.

Li Zicheng, who was sitting opposite, not only didn't help him, but laughed, "Hahaha......"

"Dad, look at the ...... that scares you. It turns out that Daddy is so timid......"

A girl in a grass-green silk dress jumped out of the room, holding an object in her hand, and the golden light came from the thing in her hand.

Mu Qingshan heard a familiar voice, and when he looked closely, it was his daughter Mu Sirong, who couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, "Why is Rong'er here?" What are you holding in your hand? ”

Li Zicheng was worried that Mu Qingshan would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "Rong'er lives in the school on weekdays, and today I heard that the owner of Mu was visiting, so I clamored to come to see my father." ”

Such a reason is also reasonable, besides, Mu Qingshan has already married Mu Sirong to Li Zi as a concubine, even if he secretly Chen Cang, he can't complain that the Mu family is not tight, and the identity of the concubine is much lower than that of the wife, and the requirements are not as strict as the main wife, even if the woman in the Qinglou is married back as a concubine, it is also a common thing, but he still has lingering palpitations about the things in his daughter's hands, "What is that?" How do you emit golden light? ”

Mu Sirong raised the things in her hand towards her father, and said with a smile in her eyebrows: "This is another masterpiece of Mr., glass, has my father heard of it?" If you put it in the market, you can sell it at a good price! ”

"Glass?" Mu Qingshan didn't know what it was for a while, but when he heard Mu Sirong say that he could sell it for a good price, he remembered, is this the legendary kind of glass?

But the glass obviously comes from Xiyi, and there is no production in Daming at all, how can it be said that it is Li Zicheng's masterpiece?

This kind of thing is extremely rare in Daming, the price is ridiculously high, and there is often no market, even a Xining businessman like him has only heard of it.

It was the first time he had seen glass.

Is it really Li Zicheng's masterpiece? Or did he buy a piece from somewhere?

Mu Qingshan carefully took this square thing from his daughter's hand, white and pure, extremely smooth, but completely transparent, seeing things through the glass, almost without hindrance.

He put the glass in front of his eyes, and sure enough, he could see the characters on the opposite side clearly, his daughter's smile was listed, he turned around, and even Li Zicheng's fibrous roots could be seen clearly, and there was even a magnifying effect.

"My lord, is this really glass?"

Li Zicheng smiled silently, but nodded.

Mu Qingshan carefully put the glass on the dining table, touched it again and again with his hands, and it was simply ...... His daughter's skin was even smoother, and he unconsciously asked, "My lord, is this thing from Xiyi?" ”

"Xiyi?" Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Didn't Rong'er tell you, this thing is the masterpiece of Lord Ben, what Xiyi can create, why can't we make it?" ”

"Is it really made by adults?" Mu Qingshan's gaze finally left the glass, but he was staring at Li Zicheng's face, as if there was an answer he urgently needed to know.

However, Mu Qingshan was quickly relieved, the last distilled liquor, and the teaching content of Xining Girls' School...... Li Zicheng has already given him too much surprise, now he just added a glass, maybe in the future, Li Zicheng will bring more surprises.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingshan secretly glanced at his daughter, just now he was worried that Li Zicheng had eaten his daughter secretly, but now he has a new idea, if Li Zicheng secretly ate Mu Sirong, he would be relieved, but unfortunately Mu Sirong is not a concubine and cannot become Li Zicheng's wife.

"This is indeed made by me," Li Zicheng smiled slightly, "How about it, can proprietor Mu see it?" ”

Mu Qingshan completely understood that Li Zicheng asked him to eat today for the sake of glass, although Li Zicheng controlled Xining, he had no business, or in other words, Li Zicheng had no time to engage in commercial activities, no matter how good the things in his hands, without the help of merchants, he would not be able to sell silver.

Mu Qingshan's first feeling was that he wanted to grab the exclusive right to sell glass, and it was best to keep the price down, so that his profits would be greater.

But when I thought of the distilled spirits, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Zicheng has no business morals, but the distilled liquor sold to him is quite low, or rather, he didn't intend to pretend to be a strange product at all, he didn't understand it at the time, but at this moment, Mu Qingshan finally understood that Li Zicheng didn't look down on the profit of distilled liquor at all, and glass was his real strange product.

No, Mu Qingshan warned himself in his heart that maybe there was something else he didn't know besides glass.

It seems that after going back, I have to find Liang Wencheng, it is best to let Mu Sirong pass the door earlier, with the relationship between Weng and son-in-law, the future business will also be more convenient, although Mu Sirong will not become Li Zicheng's wife, but with this relationship, the business relationship will be solid, and the fat water will not flow into the fields of outsiders!

"Adult ......"

Li Zicheng only said that Mu Qingshan was surprised when he saw the glass, how did he know that Mu Qingshan had thought so much, and said with a smile: "Master Mu, how much silver can such a piece of glass be sold?" ”

"Silver?" Mu Qingshan came to his senses at this time, he had only heard of it, but he had never seen glass, as for the price of glass, he couldn't say, he thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "If it is sold to rich places such as Jingshi and Jiangnan, I am afraid that it will cost a hundred taels of silver." ”

"Glass is a luxury product, if it is sold in Xining, it will definitely not be able to sell its original value," Li Zicheng has already calculated, luxury goods will naturally be sold to rich areas, the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty are the places where rich and noble people are most concentrated, and it is naturally the preferred place to sell glass, "Can proprietor Mu deliberately sell the right to sell glass?" ”

Mu Qingshan asked rhetorically, "How many glasses do you have?" ”

"There are three hundred pieces of such glass!"

"Three hundred?" Mu Qingshan was taken aback, one piece was already rare, if it was three hundred yuan, wouldn't it be worth thirty thousand taels? Created Xining's huge wealth overnight? He shook his head and said, "These glasses, the grass people really can't eat them!" ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand and asked Mu Sirong to go to the back hall for dinner, and when there were only the two of them left in the dining hall, he smiled and said, "Doesn't proprietor Mu have a business partner?" ”

"Partner?" Mu Qingshan suddenly woke up to the fact that he was one of the top wealthy businessmen in Xining, and if he was the main body, a merchant consortium would be established......

"Mu Dong really can't eat it, I can also sell it to other merchants in Xining," Li Zicheng sold and released the bait, "However, if it is other merchants, I will ask for cash." ”

"Cash? Do you mean that grass people are allowed to pay credit temporarily? Mu Qingshan's eyes lit up, and it seemed that when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, God appeared, and suddenly a wide sunny avenue appeared in front of him.

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed, "Lord Mu took the glass first, and after selling it, the next time he takes the glass, he can bring the silver from the last time, and so on, he owes a month's silver, who made us old friends!" Business is about mutual benefit, and it should also be convenient for proprietor Mu, right? ”

Li Zicheng is not a businessman, how could he have thought of such a sales method?

Mu Qingshan was secretly surprised, but there was a smile on his face, he understood Li Zicheng's words, mutual benefit is naturally good, who knows how much of a role Rong'er has played in the middle, he can't take care of it, he has to seize this opportunity first, glass is a much more profitable thing than distilled spirits, "I don't know at what price, sell it to the grass people?" ”

"How much does Lord Mu think is appropriate?"

Kicking the ball to himself again, Mu Qingshan was quite unhappy, but in front of Li Zicheng, what kind of business strategy didn't work, or be honest and proper, "Fifty taels, if you are lucky, the grass people can get more than half of the profits of adults." ”

"It shouldn't be so high," Li Zicheng had already calculated, the production cost of glass was extremely low, and the cost of a piece of glass was less than five taels, "Twenty taels, what does Mu Dongzhu think?" ”

"Twenty taels?" Mu Qingshan almost didn't believe his ears, unless he was a fool, someone would give such a price, but the glass was still priceless.

Could it be that Li Zicheng is a fool? Mu Qingshan was a little puzzled, he saw Li Zicheng's weirdness again, and it was not ordinary weirdness.

Li Zicheng has his own calculations, the net profit of each piece of glass is more than 15 taels, and 300 pieces of glass per month is 4,500 taels, which is enough for the salary of 9,000 soldiers.

The price of glass is surprisingly high, because of the scarcity, once there is a large amount of glass on the market, the price will inevitably plummet, if the price of glass is set too high, Mu Qingshan wants to pursue commercial profits, and will not sell at the bottom price.

The huge profits are gratifying, but they will definitely not last long, especially when Li Zicheng is preparing for mass production.

"Thank you for your understanding," Mu Qingshan suddenly left the table, knelt down in front of Li Zicheng, and kowtowed three times in a row.

"Don't be polite, it's all a family," Li Zicheng got up and helped him back to his seat with a smile.

It would be nice if it was really a family, Mu Qingshan sighed secretly, but said in his mouth: "My lord, in order to continue to play the brand of Xining, is this kind of glass called 'Xining Glass'?" ”

"Dong Mu misunderstood, and the brand of 'Xining' was played, not now," Li Zicheng said in his heart, once the imperial court finds that Xining is in a semi-independent state, it will inevitably impose a blockade on Xining, and the "Made in Xining" at that time may become a forbidden object for the imperial court, "Last time, Dong Mu said that the merchants who knew the Western Regions, I don't know if they can be contacted now?" For the time being, we are in the name of the Western Regions, and the price will also be up. ”

"Hu Shang of the Western Regions?" Mu Qingshan suddenly had a bitter face, "My lord, the Western Regions are occupied by a country called 'Yarkand', the trade routes have long been cut off, and the Hu merchants are nowhere to be seen, and even the grass people are ......."

Li Zicheng raised the wine cup, signaled to Mu Qingshan, raised his neck, and said, "It's okay, I can provide a few Hu merchants from the Western Regions for proprietor Mu." ”
