Chapter 20: Sky-high glass prices
"Third uncle!" Zhu Cheng hurriedly came to the post station, and after being allowed to enter, he knocked on Zhu Jun's door directly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's so flustered?" Zhu Jun responded with a slightly angry tone, but still opened the door for Zhu Cheng. His meaning is actually very clear, Zhu Cheng is very rude to disturb others so recklessly.
Originally, everyone knew each other very well, and there was nothing to be rude. However, as the so-called habit becomes natural, if you don't learn to count etiquette, it will inevitably be an unconscious move in formal occasions in the future, and it will be a shame to make a joke.
"Third uncle, I have a way to get a lot of money in a very short time, but I hope you can cooperate, third uncle!" Zhu Cheng said excitedly, and handed over the three things that had been prepared.
At first, Zhu Jun didn't think so, and he got a lot of money in such a short period of time, and when he heard it, he felt that he was not on the right path. I wanted to say a few words to him, but I didn't want to say a few words to him when he saw the thing in Zhu Cheng's hand, and suddenly couldn't help but secretly say: Hell!
The next thing became much simpler, Zhu Jun had the patience to listen to Zhu Cheng's description of the method of making money, and even gave a few words of advice on the side. The latter also benefited a lot, after all, he was not good at this, and of course Zhu Jun was not good at it, but he had been an official in the capital for many years, and his experience and experience were stronger than Zhu Cheng, so he could give him a lot of advice.
The next day, Zhu Jun and Zhu Cheng rushed back to Luoyang urgently, and it was not Zhu Cheng and their team of soldiers on duty these days, and it was nothing for Zhu Cheng to leave after asking his superiors, but he said that he had to come back within four days.
As for the army, Zhu Cheng left some simple queue training methods and handed them over to Yang Lang to be responsible for teaching, setting a training time of two hours a day, that is, an hour. After training at this time, at least it won't make the soldiers too tired.
It is not known how effective it will be, but it is better than not doing anything at all.
The Tiger Prison Pass is not far from Luoyang, and it is easy to go back and forth, and it only took half a day to return to Luoyang. After that, Zhu Jun just took Zhu Cheng back to the mansion to wash up briefly, and after lunch, he acted in batches.
"Zhu Cheng of Wu Jun's Zhu family, right? It is said that you have a treasure that you are going to give to the miscellaneous family? At the West Garden of Luoyang, Zhu Cheng found Zhang Rang, the eunuch who was in charge of buying and selling officials, and gave him a gift.
"Exactly...... Xiaguan accidentally rescued a merchant from the Western Regions, who is said to have come from distant Venice, where he brought some treasures, and as a gift for saving his life, he gave some of the most precious treasures to Xiaguan.
At first, Xia Guan didn't think so, but after seeing the real thing, he couldn't take his eyes off, and finally he could only accept these treasures with a shy face. It's just that Xia Guan thinks that he is blessed and has a thin life, so a treasure in his hand may not be a good thing, thinking that it is better to give it up, looking at the Han who has the ability to have this thing, the father-in-law should be one of them! After Zhu Cheng finished speaking, he respectfully lifted a brocade box.
Naturally, a small yellow door brought things over, and in order to ensure safety, he opened the brocade box at the signal of Zhang Rang. The moment he opened it, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and he completely revealed an obsessive look.
Fortunately, this little yellow door didn't look simple, and after being stunned for three seconds, he finally suppressed the desire in his heart, and respectfully handed the thing to Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang was also curious, what made this go through his tune. The little yellow door that taught him was so obsessed. When he looked into the brocade box and saw a glass carving lying inside, he was suddenly stunned by the transparency of the glass and the realism of the carving. After that, I took the things out directly in the brocade box and played with them carefully in my hands.
In later generations, this kind of glass carving was basically a bargain made in batches, and at most it was sold in the name of souvenirs, otherwise it would not be worth much.
But in this time and space, not to mention that artificial glass has not yet appeared, most of the glazed ware currently used are naturally formed glass, and it is unheard of in this time and space to say that it is so transparent and so realistic in shape.
Just because of the crystal clarity of this glass sculpture, as well as the realistic shape, this thing is a real priceless treasure at this time, and it is no wonder that Zhang Rang will behave like this.
"Are you willing?" Zhang Rang carefully put the thing back, and it could be seen that he really liked this thing, but he first had to understand what Zhu Cheng was offering the treasure for.
"Xia Guan is naturally reluctant! Just thinking that this thing can't be exchanged for food if it is left in his hand, Zhu Jun, the third uncle of Xiaguan, is now exhausted, and he doesn't know if this errand of the court can be successfully completed. Looking at his uncle's worrying appearance every day, Xiaguan is a nephew, so he has to think about him, right? Zhu Cheng said with a smile.
It was not clearly stated for what purpose, but Zhang Rang already understood. Everyone knows what Zhu Jun is like, there is a shortage of food! There is grain, including a large amount of grain in his hands, and he originally planned to sell it slowly and make a profit. But even if the food is valuable, compared to this Pegasus glass sculpture, I'm afraid it's not worth much......
"The imperial court will not treat loyal ministers badly, go back and tell your third uncle, the imperial court will naturally consider it!" Zhang Rang didn't promise anything, just said this sentence and was silent. Zhu Cheng didn't know what he meant, but when he saw this, he also understood that he was going to send off a guest, so he could only leave.
In fact, it doesn't matter if Zhang Rang doesn't do anything, this sculpture is just a commodity that he exchanged for 2 energy points. In the convenience supermarket provided by the system, this glass product can be exchanged for one piece with only 2 energy points.
This time, in order to exchange money, he first exchanged three pieces, as the so-called rare is expensive, such a quality of glass, and there is also the gimmick of 'rare', can become the key factor that makes the price of glass sculptures skyrocket.
If Zhang Rang takes something and doesn't help, the impact will not be great, even if he worships a mountain, he will save himself from being remembered by these eunuchs in the future. These guys who have no life, they are more stingy than the girls, and they are almost as yellow as the yellow skins.
Speaking of both ends, Zhu Jun also took two pieces of glass products to visit friends, the first visit was naturally sympathetic to him, and had a good influence in the military, Huangfu Song, and then visited Yuan Feng, the owner of Yuan Valve, who is said to have caravans all over the world.
At this level, it is naturally not something that Zhu Cheng can get involved in, and his level is still a little lower. On the contrary, the eunuch party can be more casual, after all, on the Xidi side, Zhang asked them to summon a group of nouveau riche who bought officials every day, so even if it was Zhu Cheng, he could also meet them, and at the same time said that he Zhu Jun and the eunuch party were not all the way.
As expected, Huangfu Song and Yuan Feng also attached great importance to these two glass products, but although the former also had a family, and the family power was not small, they also felt that they didn't have so much money to buy this glass product. Fortunately, Zhu Jun said that everyone's relationship is good, why be so serious, and under some humility, Huangfu Song finally exchanged a batch of grain and a batch of materials for this glass product. In his opinion, he made money from this transaction, and the relationship between the two went further.
Not to mention Yuan Feng, he has enough trading chips. He didn't have much to do with Zhu Jun himself, but this thing was of some other use to him, so he still gave a price that Zhu Jun couldn't refute, and bought the glass. And Zhu Jun has completed the task so far, and the food and materials obtained from the sale are enough to appease the refugees!
