Chapter 420: Banquet for the merchants of Chu State
Except for the matter of Nguyen Quouc, it is glass.
To be precise, it is a glass statue of the emperor of Chu.
When this glass statue appeared in front of the monarchs and ministers of Chu for the first time in full view of everyone, everyone was stunned.
Including Xiong Minne, the emperor of the Chu State, his lips trembled with excitement, full of disbelief.
It's like seeing a twin brother, standing in front of you.
Whether it's the body shape or demeanor, everything is vivid.
The congratulations of the tsunami from the Qunchen Mountain made Chu Emperor Xiong Minne very useful, and for the first time he felt that he was the one chosen by God.
He had no doubt that after today, his control over the entire Chu State would rise to a higher level, and even the largest clans would have to weigh whether they would be punished by heaven when they violated his will.
As for the ignorant people, they will also regard him as a god as the emperor of Cangguo.
Immediately, Chu Emperor Xiong Minne ordered that this glass statue be enshrined in front of the palace in front of the palace and be admired by the courtiers.
In addition, Tan Feihong, the envoy stationed in Cangguo, was promoted to the Shaoqing of Dahonglu Temple, rewarded with a thousand gold, and awarded the title of marquis.
One step to the sky!
When the news broke, countries were shocked and asked whether the news was true.
It is worth mentioning that the origin of this glass statue is not known to be from the Cangguo, so it adds infinite mystery.
Just when this matter has been fermenting, and the court and the people are in an uproar, a shocking news came out from Cangguo.
Cangguo, there is going to be a conference.
Glass Crafts Appreciation Meeting!
Glass?
Is it the kind of statue of the emperor of Chu?
After some inquiry, I realized that the statues of Chu came from Cangguo, and that kind of miracles were produced from the industrial city of Cangguo!
Glass, made from the Cangguo factory?
Nothing could be more exciting than this, because compared to glass, glass, which used to be regarded as a treasure, is like an ordinary stone on the side of the road, placed in front of a rare jade.
Glass can be said to have become the most sought after luxury in the world.
How much prestige the emperor of Chu gained because of this, everyone has already seen.
It is also obvious what benefits Tan Feihong has gained because of this great achievement.
In all countries, whether it is the emperor or the courtiers, whether it is the nobles of the family or the untouchable caravans, they all have great expectations.
Because, according to the consistent style of Cangguo, the things produced in the industrial city must be used for sale, and what kind of appreciation conference is held for everyone to see, and then the price is clearly marked for sale?
So, at the beginning of September, Cangcheng was more than twice as lively as usual, and there was a faint sense of grandeur when the alliance was first met.
The main thing was still caravans, twice as many as usual.
Many of them are spokesmen sent by officials from various countries, and even if they can't buy back the statue of their own emperor, they can't let their political opponents buy it.
As time approached day by day, Cangcheng became more and more lively, hundreds of glass products were packed in boxes one by one, guarded like treasures, and a team of guards patrolled, looking more and more mysterious to outsiders.
In fact, this is a propaganda ploy that creates scarcity.
The rarer it is, the more the nobles will rush to it.
Just when all the businessmen were waiting for the appreciation conference to begin, Qin Changfeng of the Ministry of Commerce invited more than a dozen wealthy businessmen of Chu to participate in a private dinner.
Singing and dancing orchestras, full of wine and food.
Qin Changfeng, as the leader of the Ministry of Commerce, is naturally highly sought after, and he is a lot of sycophants.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
Qin Changfeng clapped his hands, and a very beautiful woman came out from behind the screen, holding a plate covered with red cloth in her hand.
This is?
The businessmen looked at each other, and they understood something in their hearts, everyone is an old fox in the shopping mall, today Qin Changfeng is so identious, he specially invited the businessmen of Chu State to have a small gathering, which is to give Tianda face.
Naturally, this face is not given for no reason.
That should be the point.
Qin Changfeng uncovered the red cloth, and a colorful thing appeared inside.
The expressions on everyone's faces were stunned, and they immediately stared.
I saw that there were ball-shaped objects the size of a dragon's eye on the plate, which were colorful, colorful, and round, very cute.
I was almost blinded by the color spilling from the plate.
Glass balls, glass balls of different colors!
Immediately, a businessman trembled and said, "I heard that the glass is pure white, how can it be so colorful, how dazzling is it, it is not the rainbow in the sky?" ”
Rainbow is rainbow.
Indeed, in this world, the only thing that can be colorful is the rainbow.
Dozens of colorful glass balls are put together, isn't it just the rainbow in the sky, blended together?
Qin Changfeng didn't answer, and asked with a smile: "Everyone, look, how much are these colored glass beads worth?" ”
Immediately, a merchant of Chu Kingdom shook his head and said: "When the glass first appeared, it was already priceless, and this thing is so special, once it flows out, I am afraid that it will be fought for by countless people, and the value is really difficult to estimate." ”
"I think that this thing is worth at least 10,000 taels of silver."
10,000 taels of silver is 1 million cangjin.
"One million taels, my Jiang family is willing to buy them all."
"Thirty thousand taels of one, buy a set below."
One set is seven colors, that is, seven pieces, which can be sold for 210,000 taels of silver.
"Dare to ask your lordship, this kind of glass ball...... How many more? ”
Qin Changfeng didn't answer, and asked again: "How much do you think these glass balls are worth?" ”
Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and one said: "Rare things are expensive, even if they are good treasures, if there are more, the value will be greatly discounted, and if these glass balls are thrown out at one time, the value will definitely be greatly discounted." ”
Qin Changfeng nodded, smiled, took out the seventh one from a box, and put it in his hand to check it.
Syllable!
He let go of his hand, and a plate of glass balls fell to the ground, shattering.
Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they quickly stood up.
What does this mean?
Such a priceless thing, just lost?
Put on airs!
Or is it that the Ministry of Commerce of Cangguo is already so rich, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it can be said that it can be thrown away?
Qin Changfeng glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, please see, there are only seven in the official's hand. ”
Of course, everyone won't believe it, except for this glass ball, there is nothing else to come up with, but I am afraid that it is deliberately done in order to attract everyone's attention.
"Dare to ask my lord, how many such glass balls are there?"
Qin Changfeng smiled and said: "The output is not much, let's be first-come, first-served, after all, the cost is still too high, and after these glass beads are broken, the official's heart is also very uncomfortable, and he is still impulsive in the end." ”
