Chapter 531: Exquisite luxury

William still spends his days in his study taking care of the trade routes.

At this time, there was a beautiful artifact on his desk full of papers.

It was an incomparably beautiful porcelain, and after more than two months of study, Jia Yu and those craftsmen finally turned the primary porcelain into this beautiful handicraft in front of them.

It looked incredibly smooth, not as beautiful as even the whitest ivory, and the patterns on it looked very beautiful and exotic.

Even the most skilled painters in the entire Holy Cult world could not paint such a beautiful and delicate pattern with the technique of oil painting.

The surface of this porcelain is very smooth, there is no rough surface to be found, and there will be a very pleasant crisp sound when struck, which is different from the sound of metal colliding, which is pleasant.

William looked at the fine porcelain in front of him, and his heart was filled with joy, he knew that the days of his financial deficit were gone, and that his income would reach a new peak because of this luxury.

After all, there are only a few things in the world that make money in the world, arms, slaves, hidden drugs, and luxury goods.

And porcelain, a luxury that has never appeared in the Holy Religion world, is undoubtedly a high-end commodity here.

William never worried about whether the porcelain was in line with the aesthetics of the nobles of the Holy Sect world, not to mention how the porcelain of the Celestial Empire in the previous life set off a trend among the noble kings of Europe, but the crazy love that the nobles of Denlenburg showed after seeing this porcelain also made William have no doubt about the popularity of porcelain.

There is no doubt that porcelain, a high-end luxury item from the Celestial Empire, will definitely arouse the fanatical pursuit of the nobles of the Holy Sect world, and it is not impossible to even do business with pagans.

Although the Piyards have been invading the kingdom of Arisera for many years, spices, as another luxury, are their exclusive trump card luxury, and they dump them every year into the holy world that does not produce spices, exchanging a large amount of gold and materials from the holy world.

The well-earned Piard was William's example, and as long as he hyped porcelain as a symbol of status and wealth, he was not afraid that the aristocracy would not buy it.

At that time, even if there are nobles who don't like porcelain, they will definitely buy a lot of porcelain because of the problem of face.

As for whether there will be people who want to take advantage of this huge profit, then William is not worried, he is not afraid of any threat to the situation.

Militarily, almost all the people in his territory are soldiers, everyone has been trained as a militia, as long as a spear is issued, it is a soldier, as long as the enemy dares to invade, then it will definitely fall into the quagmire of war.

As for sabotage in the shadows, whether it is the Assassin organization of Ariel or the dark dagger managed by Tus, all the enemy's plots can be crushed.

What's more, he still has a good relationship with the church, it's a big deal that he directly gives 10% of the income of porcelain to the church, and the church will definitely not turn against William, a living saint who actively responds to the call, for the sake of porcelain income, after all, they still have to make a good gesture.

There are not many nobles who listen to you like this, if you do this to others again, then who will listen to you.

In short, when the day the porcelain was formed, William had already thought about everything that needed to be faced.

A month later, a merchant-looking merchant with a somewhat inferior porcelain in his hand said to a low-ranking nobleman dressed in a noble robe beside him: "See, my lord, this is a sought-after product from Denlenburg!" The Count of Denlenburg personally directed the production! ”

"Look at this smooth white material! Look at the beautiful and lifelike patterns on it, and look at this wonderful color combination! The merchant closed his eyes and stroked the porcelain in his hand with an intoxicated expression.

The nobleman, a baron, was looking obsessively at the thing called porcelain in the merchant's hand.

When the merchant first took out this thing, he felt that he was deeply in love with it.

It had once seen an ivory more than thirty centimeters in its own feudal lord.

His feudal lord was proud of that tusk, and whenever a banquet was held or a distinguished guest came to the door, he would always take out that white and flawless ivory to show his wealth and elegance.

Now, if he could get his hands on the porcelain in front of him, which was whiter and smoother than ivory, and with elaborate patterns, and which looked like an elaborate work, then he would have more face than his feudal lord.

It looked at the porcelain in the merchant's hand with greedy eyes, forcibly suppressing the desire in his heart, he knew that this thing was not something he could rob forcibly.

This lowly merchant was able to appear on his estate because the Count of Denlenburg gave him the franchise, and if he really killed people and took the treasure, then it would mean that he offended the majesty of the Count of Denlenburg.

At that time, it is not yet known whether the wealthy Count of Denlenburg will raise his army and ask for the guilt.

With these concerns in mind, the nobleman asked, "How much does this thing sell?" ”

As soon as the merchant heard this, his already enthusiastic face suddenly turned like a chrysanthemum, and he stretched out his right hand and made a Jardine gesture, saying, "Fifty silver coins!" For fifty silver coins, this exquisite luxury is yours! ”

Hearing this price, the nobleman was immediately shocked, this price was too expensive, for him, fifty silver coins could already arm two elite soldiers, and his income for a whole year was only eight or nine hundred silver coins.

Looking at the somewhat hesitant nobleman, the merchant hurriedly said, "My lord, don't you want to show off in front of your colleagues?" They will definitely envy you for it! ”

"What's more, you must know that he is absolutely not worried about the sale of this porcelain, if it weren't for the Earl's insistence on selling it first to open up the reputation, I'm afraid that before it leaves Denlenburg, the porcelain will be robbed by the local nobles!"

The merchant "bitterly spoken" and explained: "You must know that it is not only the Count of Denlenburg who is rich, but his vassals are also very rich because of his policies!" ”

"As far as I know, Baron Bandra of Denlenburg has long wanted to order ten pieces of porcelain with a price of one hundred silver coins each, and that's a thousand silver coins to spend!"

"But Lord Count didn't agree, he just wanted to make a name for himself first, so Baron Bandla was still a little unhappy!"

"It's impossible for Lord Earl to always stop the vassals from buying it, you know, the output of this thing is not high, once Lord Earl loosens the restrictions on vassals, it is estimated that there will be no porcelain flowing out for a long time!"

The merchant looked at the nobleman "worriedly", as if he was completely thinking about the other party.

The nobleman was also a little hesitant at first, after all, the price was too high.

However, under the persuasion of the businessman's "kindness", he still gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I bought it!" ”

"Salar! Go to my vault and take out fifty silver coins and give them to him! ”
