Chapter 743: Transparent Glass

"This ...... These are all made of glazed kung fu? "Qingyan can't believe his eyes, this is an inexhaustible treasure mountain! I hadn't even heard Zhen Qian talk about it, if it wasn't for what he saw with his own eyes, he would never believe it.

"Huh!" The old craftsman's face was full of wrinkles and said: "This is just the tip of the iceberg and a drop in the ocean, if the two ladies want to see it, it is estimated that there will be no ten days and half a month to see the ......." ”

Qingyan didn't doubt the old craftsman's words at all, just looking at the room in front of him, one by one, I am afraid it would take half a day, and he was a little puzzled: "Since there are so many good things, why don't you take them out and use them, or sell them for money, don't you know that the Wufeng Islands are now using money for war?" ”

Fighting a war is not only a struggle for logistics, but also a burning of money, and with the current tax revenue of the Wufeng Islands, even the soldiers' salaries cannot be paid.

For this war, Zhen Qian took out 200,000 yuan from Zhen's money village and loaned it to the Wufeng Islands, which barely supported this war.

In fact, speaking of which, Qingyan is also very puzzled, the Wufeng Islands are all Zhen Qian, Zhen Qian actually took out money to loan to the Wufeng Islands in a serious manner, saying that the Wufeng Islands are the Wufeng Islands, and Zhen Qian is Zhen Qian, how can he have the courage of the island owner, but he will be investigated like a businessman.

What makes Qingyan even more puzzling is that the industrial and commercial money bank is not owned by Zhen Qian, but actually opened another Zhen money bank, and the currency issuance right is not owned by Zhen's money bank, but the industrial and commercial money bank is responsible for management, Zhen money bank In addition to the normal currency exchange and currency loans, only the right to mint metal is left, and I don't know what Zhen Qian is doing?

On the contrary, the residents of the Wufeng Islands have always equated the industrial and commercial money village with the Zhen family's money bank, and no one feels that there is something wrong.

Of course, Qingyan will not understand this kind of thing, but Zhen Qian knows very well that everything starts from the end of the micro and originates from Huazhi, and the distinction between the family and the country is the biggest drawback, and the paper money issued by the Wufeng Islands has sent the three dynasties into the abyss of no return three times in history.

One is the Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty, the other is the Zhongtong banknote of the Yuan Dynasty, and the last time is the treasure banknote of the Ming Dynasty.

Whether in ancient times or in later generations, no one did not know the harmfulness of issuing paper money indiscriminately, but the ruler would consciously or unconsciously fall in love with this way of accumulating money out of nothing because of various interest appeals.

Therefore, at the very beginning, Zhen Qian positioned the industrial and commercial money bank as the central bank of later generations, only responsible for the reserve of gold and silver, and issued paper money with more than three times the amount of gold and silver, of which the paper money equivalent to gold and silver belonged to the provider, and the remaining two times the financial reserve of paper money was used to maintain the use of government expenditures, so as to avoid the flood of paper money.

This is also a constraint on Zhen Qian's own, so he can keep the banknotes circulating in the Wufeng Islands strong.

As for setting up another Zhen family's money village, this is completely making a long-term plan for his descendants, Zhen Qian can meet, as his status gets higher and higher, he will give birth to more and more children, and he doesn't want to have the embarrassment of millions of imperial relatives of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty eating the Ming Dynasty into poverty.

Qingyan naturally can't see farther than Zhen Qian, and he won't understand everything Zhen Qian is doing now, but Zhen Qian doesn't want to take out what hasn't happened to talk about it!

Zhen Qian used 500,000 taels of gold to establish an industrial and commercial bank, and used 300,000 taels to establish Zhen's bank, but because of the natural monetary properties of gold and silver, Zhen Qian let Zhen's money bank have the right to mint gold and silver, and promulgated financial regulations, no matter who can establish their own bank, as long as they can mint the same standard metal coins, they can issue their own gold and silver coins.

Of course, this is also a means of restricting the indiscriminate issuance of banknotes by industrial and commercial banks in the future.

What Zhen Qian is doing now is a bit funny in the eyes of many people, but with the development of time, many people will slowly understand that they have worked hard today.

"I don't understand the things of the war, but I still understand the truth that more things are cheaper, and less things are expensive, although there are many things here, but once they are sold, it will inevitably cause the price to plummet, but it is better to store it here...... hehe, Mrs. said is this the truth?" The old craftsman touched a few whiskers under his forehead, and looked unfathomable.

"That's right!"

Although light smoke does not understand the laws of economic operation, but this superficial truth still knows some, no wonder there are so many glass products stored here, and the number on the market is extremely scarce.

As soon as there are many things, they are naturally cheap, and the light smoke is tasteless, so he said to the old craftsman: "What about the glass utensils that have just been fired?" ”

"Two ladies, please come with the old man!"

Led by the old craftsman, I don't know how many houses I passed, and finally walked to another room when Light Smoke lost his patience. I saw that the room was not big, only three or four times the size of an ordinary bedroom, but it was full of wooden boxes, and the old craftsman asked people to open a wooden box and said, "It's here?" ”

Qingyan looked down, only to see that the wooden box was filled with cardboard and sawdust, and there were yellowed paper wrapped in something in the sundries, the old craftsman carefully picked up one with a trembling old hand, opened it and looked, it turned out to be a crystal clear glass vessel, and suddenly the blood all over his body surged, his lips were dry, and his voice trembled and said: "Is it white glass?" ”

"Yes!"

The old craftsman couldn't help but say a little proudly: "The purer the color of the glass, the better, the blue is cheap, the white is expensive, these are rare white glass, each wooden box is a complete set of glass utensils, the two ladies see if they are satisfied?" ”

Even Liu Yali is a person who doesn't understand glass, and her breath is shortness at this time, she has long heard that a piece of crystal clear white glass is worth more than a thousand times, and if it can be a set, the value will increase several times, even in the Wufeng Islands, there are not many white and transparent glass.

"Are these these?" Qingyan didn't know how to ask.

"There are all in this house, a total of twenty sets, the two ladies can choose three sets, and the remaining ten sets will be shipped to the Tang Dynasty, and the Silla Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom have ordered four sets, and the rest will be left for backup?"

The old craftsman did not hide his questions, first asked people to take out a set of glazed utensils in the wooden box, and put them on the table next to them for Qingyan and Liu Yali to check, seeing that the two nodded frequently, they asked people to repack the boxes, and carried out three boxes for the two women to take back.

"Old man, the concubine has a reluctant invitation, can you let the two concubines go to visit the glass processing workshop, so that you can see how this magical glass is made?" Qingyan actually gave the old craftsman a deep salute and said slowly.
