Chapter 8 The first pot of gold, profits are hanging and exploding!
The formalities of the transaction were quickly completed, Zhu Zilong squatted in front of the little girl, not afraid of dirty, reached out to support her little hand, and said gently: "You will follow me in the future, what is your name?" ”
"Four girls!" The little girl answered, apparently her parents had three older sisters in front of her in order to give birth to a son. At this moment, Zhu Zilong's eyes looking at her were full of tenderness, which filled the hearts of the four girls with peace.
"Don't call it the fourth girl in the future, I'll change your name, just Zhu Xingyue!" Zhu Zilong categorically helped the little girl change the similar name of her own daughter in her hometown in the 21st century. (Zhu Zilong's biological daughter is called Zhu Xinyue, and this girl with a similar appearance in the Ming Dynasty was named Zhu Xingyue)!
The previous four girls, now Zhu Xingyue, nodded heavily and happily accepted the new name.
Taking the little girl's hand, Zhu Zilong looked at the Zhang family's descendant, thinking that it was really inconvenient to have no money.
Oh, by the way, I just passed by that Western goods store, and there was a low-quality mirror the size of a palm, but the price seemed to be a hundred taels of silver. It is said that there are still many buyers, so can you do it yourself?
At this moment, of course, Zhu Zilong is not planning to make his own mirrors and sell them.
It is not difficult to make a mirror with a gold tube, just stick shiny tin foil to the glass surface and pour mercury on it. Because mercury is a liquid metal, it is able to dissolve tin into a viscous silvery-white liquid that adheres tightly to the glass plate.
However, it is problematic to make mirrors in this way.
First, it is difficult to find raw materials by yourself for the time being. Second, the level of glass during the Ming Dynasty was not too good. Third, there is no base and manpower, and I am afraid of the spread of technology. Fourth, mercury is toxic. Fifth, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty used the air blowing method to make flat glass, so the flat glass was still very small and could not be made very large.
On the other hand, the glass on the name is exclusively for the royal family, and the people cannot make it without authorization. However, most people who import and smuggle do so with one eye open and one eye closed. The imperial power has a weak control over the local level!
Zhu Zilong, who didn't plan to start making transparent glass or mirrors by himself for the time being, went directly to the Western store just now.
Out of his bosom pulled out a small modern simple mirror, (like a few cents wholesale toothbrushes, buy some casually in the 21st century tourist area.) )
When Zhu Zilong came out of this store ten minutes later, he also had an extra silver ticket of 200 taels in his arms.
The "Jiaozi" of the Northern Song Dynasty is the earliest paper money in China and the world. The Yuan Dynasty mainly used paper money, the early Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan system, and the Ming Taizu Hongwu began to issue "Ming treasure banknotes".
A small mirror of the same palm-sized modern stall, the mirror quality is significantly higher than that of the mirror in the Western store in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zilong exchanged a small mirror for the 200 taels of silver tickets repurchased by the shopkeeper, which can be described as a million profits!
According to the price level in the late Ming Dynasty, 1 tael of silver = 1 copper coin = about 300 yuan. The small mirror of the stall of a few cents of RMB on the modern side was exchanged for 200 taels of silver, which is equivalent to about 60,000 yuan on the modern side = more than 60,000 yuan.
Alas, my numbness, this is called profiteering. It's a galactic explosion! It's a hanging bomb!
Even if it is now in the Ming Dynasty, not the modern era, Zhu Zilong has already blossomed in his heart at this time, and he smirks a few times from time to time.
returned to Zhang's house in the evening, and Zhu Zilong was still happy.
When Zhang Jingzheng asked why there was a little girl next to him, he told the cause and effect in 1510.
And taking this opportunity, Zhu Zilong, who had some ideas in his heart, went back to the room and took out a few small round mirrors from the travel bag, one or two bottles of Liushen Flower Water with the trademark, two or three pieces of Lux soap, two toothpastes, and one toothbrush per person.
It was sent to Zhang Jingzheng and several of his wives!
"It's a long way to go, and my nephew can't bring much, this is a little meaning, and I ask Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang to accept it." Zhu Zilong said.
Looking at these things that are N times better than those in the Western store, Zhang Jingzheng's wife is beating heartbeatly, and they want to take it. But he knew that the price of these things was not cheap, so he had to look at his husband with an inquiring expression.
Zhu Zilong had a great favor to the Zhang family, Zhang Jingzheng thought about it and said, "Sihai, these things were brought back by you from thousands of miles away. It's not easy, and the price is not wrong, so your family doesn't have to be so polite. Let's put it away! ”
Zhu Zilong, who was interested in befriending the Zhang family, smiled and shook his head and replied: "Since it is my own family, I shouldn't be polite." Besides, I know how to do some of these things, and my little nephew also has some ways to buy them. As long as there are no accidents, how much will there be in the future? I also asked Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang to accept it, and expressed the hearts of the four seas! ”
Zhu Zilong's words obviously calmed the Zhang family.
Zhangjia Jinguan is not a super big family or a big family, but they can probably see the value of these gifts and how much they are worth.
Judging from the fact that Zhu Zilong's small mirror was exchanged for 200 taels of silver tickets today, and so on.
These gifts are worth more than a thousand taels of silver!
In ordinary people's homes, it is estimated that many families can live a life without worrying about food and clothing.
This gift is not light, but if it is considered a family, it is also in the past. Thinking of this, Zhang Jingzheng said to the ladies: "The wise nephews of the four seas have said so, so take it." ”
So, next, Zhu Zilong enthusiastically explained in detail how to use toothbrushing supplies, how effective is the toilet water, the wonders of the mirror, the benefits of soap, etc.
After he finished his introduction, Zhang Jingzheng's wives carefully put away all the things and took them back to the room.
After the event, Zhu Zilong pulled up and washed it, and Zhu Xinyue, who had temporarily changed her clothes, sat down at the Zhang family's dining table to eat together.
After the meal, when Zhu Zilong happily pulled Zhu Xinyue up, introduced her room and left.
Zhang Jing was behind and said softly to the people: "This girl is a blessed person who looks like a relative from all over the world, and the time will come." You must treat this girl in the name of your family in the future. Got it? ”
When the Zhang family and the ladies heard this, they nodded yes one after another.
The next day, early in the morning.
Zhu Zilong first taught Zhu Xinyue how to use toothbrushes and other things, and then ordered the Zhang family to bring a few more sets of clothes to change for her.
After letting him wear and try on, Zhu Zilong said as if he was looking at his own daughter: "If you don't like the clothes, I'll ask someone to get some new floral cloth to help you make a few sets." From now on, you will call me brother. It's my Zhu Zilong's sister! ”
(Actually, Zhu Zilong originally wanted Zhu Xinyue to call him father, but considering that he is now physically rejuvenated.) It's only about eighteen years old, and it seems a little like an eight or nine-year-old girl to call her daddy, Khan! )
Zhu Xinyue, who was wearing good clothes, was full of innocence and joy in her big eyes, and replied in a childish voice: "Brother, this dress is very good, Siya has never worn such a good dress before, and there is not a single patch." I love it! ”
"In the future, you have to call yourself Zhu Xingyue, hehe." Zhu Zilong touched Siya's little face and said with a smile.
"Well, my name is Zhu Xingyue. I'm Zhu Xingyue, and I'm not a fourth girl anymore! ”
