Before Lu Su finished speaking, Liu Zhang suddenly walked quickly to a store, leaving Lu Su standing alone in the center of the street, embarrassed and angry, but when he raised his head and looked at the store's containers, his eyes widened suddenly.

Liu Zhang walked to the front of the container and saw several pieces of porcelain placed in the container, all pure white, smooth and bright in color, very luxurious and dazzling.

"Boss, take out these pieces of porcelain and take a look."

The boss was brushing the clay pots on the back shelf, only glanced back at the corner of Liu Zhang's clothes, and said casually: "Those things are very expensive, if you want to see them, you can see them outside, if you want to touch them, pay first." ”

"You have to pay for it, so why don't you smoke it?" said so loudly, he was about to step forward, but was stopped by Liu Zhang. The boss was not frightened, and said casually:

"Guest officer, it's not that I look down on you, look at the guest officer's clothes, they are made of Jiangzhou cotton, the workmanship is good, I think it is from a big family, but it is not a top rich person, those white porcelain pieces are tens of thousands of dollars, if the guest officer can't afford it, let's look at other celadon and yellow porcelain."

"Blind your dog's eyes, who do you see my son-in-law?" He said angrily, looking at the boss's calm appearance, he wanted to smash his head with a hammer.

"Hey, I'm polite, you think I'm afraid of you, right?" The boss put down the pottery in his hand, turned it around with a small brush, "...... on the ground in Chengdu"

The boss didn't finish speaking, he saw Liu Zhang's face clearly, on the ground in Chengdu, he is also a person with some skills, otherwise how to operate valuable porcelain, how can he not know the state pastor, as soon as he saw Liu Zhang standing behind, his frightened face turned white, his hand shook, and the small brush fell to the ground.

"Ouch, Lord Governor, the little one is blind with a dog's eye, you must forgive your sins." The boss said that he was about to kneel down at the counter. But the counter was too narrow, he was too fat, and he was sweating profusely, Lu Su smiled at the door to see what Liu Zhang, a murderous butcher, would do.

"Okay, boss, let's just see. I can't touch it, you can take it out. Liu Zhang said that he was really interested in those porcelain.

"Okay, okay, right away." The boss hurriedly agreed, took out all the white porcelain from the cabinet, put it in front of Liu Zhang, and said, "If the adults like it, the small ones will be given to you." ”

"Are we like scheming robbers?" Liu Zhang said casually while looking at the porcelain carefully. Hu Che'er glared at him, and the boss immediately shrank his neck in fright.

"Where, where." The boss smiled embarrassedly: "Without the enlightened governance of adults, how can we be businessmen today, I am here to repay my kindness."

Adults may not know. These white porcelain, look at this color, the world can not find a few, pure white porcelain symbolizes the clarity of the earth. Politics and people, it is the adult Shengming who is in charge, so that there is white porcelain out of the kiln. ”

Liu Zhang casually listened to the flattery of the boss. He was already accustomed to flattery, and pointed to the small brush on the ground: "Can you use it for me?" ”

"Of course, of course."

The boss hurriedly picked up the brush and handed it to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang gently brushed the surface of the porcelain with the brush, then Lu Su walked in, glanced at the white porcelain on the counter, and said to the boss: "Boss, don't be unreliable, white porcelain is extremely difficult to fire, although it has appeared, but it is rare and abnormal."

Firing white porcelain, often out of a thousand pieces of scrapped gray porcelain to produce a white porcelain, and such a good color of white porcelain, from ancient times to the present, I am afraid that there has never been a scene, right? The boss is afraid that he used some kind of paint such as whitening powder, just deceive others, and it is a capital crime to deceive the state pastor, aren't you afraid of moving your head? ”

Lu Su is right, Liu Zhang has read the script of a Sui Dynasty TV series before, and it said how difficult it is to fire white porcelain, as far as Liu Zhang knows, white porcelain appeared in large numbers at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Zhang has never seen white porcelain.

As a commodity equal to silk, porcelain plays an important role in commerce, and if white porcelain can be produced in Shuzhong, it will be a great income like Shu brocade, so Liu Zhang will be surprised.

The boss was not happy when he heard Lu Su's words, Lu Su was not only questioning his own products, but also questioning his own character, how many generations he sold porcelain, and he couldn't tell the difference between real porcelain and fake porcelain? What's more, it is still questioned in front of the popular state pastor, which is tolerable or unbearable.

The boss found that Lu Su didn't come in with Liu Zhang, and after a second look, the clothes on his body were not luxurious, plus a foreign accent, the boss immediately returned unceremoniously: "Where did you come from?" Didn't you listen to me say that it was because the governor of the state pastor Shengming was in charge, and the white porcelain appeared? ”

"This is Mr. Lu Su, the Governor of the Jiangdong Water Army, Mr. Lu Zijing." Liu Zhang stood up and said, he scanned the porcelain, and felt that he didn't add any paint, but he didn't know much about this, and he still didn't know the authenticity.

"It turned out to be the governor of Jiangdong, not our Shu, no wonder I didn't know it." The boss snorted, he remembered that Jiangdong and the Sichuan army were hostile.

Ren Lusu was a good-tempered person, and his face was also a little unhappy, at this time Liu Zhang handed the brush to Lu Su and said: "Mr. Zijing, you can see if it is real porcelain, if it is fake." Liu Zhang looked at the boss and said, "I want to seal the shop." ”

"That's, that's." The boss hurriedly laughed, but he looked determined.

Lu Su took the brush and took a look, from the grocery store to the porcelain store just now, after Lu Su's observation, Liu Zhang's personality is really very different from the rumors in the outside world, inspecting the shop under the scorching sun, being polite to the store, and being polite to the store, he can also put down his body and do some trivial things, and he can't see the cold-blooded and harsh side at all.

If Liu Zhang was like treating the Shi clan, full of rigidity and ruthlessness, and ruled Shu strictly, Lu Su believed that in a few years, Shuzhong would collapse.

But now it seems...... It really worries Lu Su.

But thinking about it, Lu Su is still very interested in the white porcelain, I really don't believe that it is white porcelain, if it is true, so many pieces come out at once, and tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain must be scrapped, how high is the cost? And the color is much better than the previous white porcelain.

However, Lu Su was surprised as soon as he brushed it twice, and then brushed all over the porcelain, gently touched and slid it with his fingers, and changed several pieces one after another, and said in surprise: "It's really white porcelain." ”

Since Lu Su said this, Liu Zhang also believed it, and looked at the porcelain in surprise, the boss was obviously very satisfied with the guest's reaction, and smiled proudly.

Liu Zhang said to the boss: "These white porcelains are so good, I'm afraid the cost is very high, can you make a profit by selling them for 10,000 yuan?" ”

The boss smiled and said, "You are the state pastor." The little one doesn't dare to lie to you, the porcelain and pottery in my store are at least half of the money, otherwise how can I maintain my shop? I can't make less money selling porcelain than selling tofu brains.

And this white porcelain is 10,000 yuan, and I earn more, at least 7,000. ”

The boss stretched out his palms and stretched out seven fingers. Xicheng used to be the poorest place in Chengdu. Now it is the most prosperous place, and the rent and tax of the store are sky-high, so the goods are naturally more expensive.

"Seven thousand?" Liu Zhang and Lu Su glanced at each other, both showing disbelief, Lu Su said: "I remember that during the period of Emperor Huan, a piece of fine white porcelain was sold for 80,000 yuan, and finally accompanied the queen to the funeral, you said that you earned 7,000, how can this white porcelain be worth only 3,000 yuan?" Could it be that you want to give Uncle Liu Huang a favor at a discount? ”

"I said, why is your psychology so dark?"

The boss said to Lu Su unceremoniously. Liu Zhang lowered his head and smiled slightly, the boss probably saw that Liu Zhang didn't like to see Lu Su very much, so he didn't have any fear of talking, Lu Su was not embarrassed on the side, God knew he just wanted to see. Will Liu Zhang take the people's goods at a low price?

The boss turned to Liu Zhang and immediately smiled: "My lord, you don't know, this is still a secret." The little one quietly told the adults, and the adults should not tell others what I said, otherwise the Qu family would not cooperate with me in the future. ”

The boss is mysterious. Referring to Liu Zhang's interest, the boss said in a low voice: "My lord also knows that Brazil is a good place to produce blue brick celadon and pottery.

Not long ago, the craftsman room of the Qu family, found a special porcelain embryo made of clay, which can be fired into pure color white porcelain, after several firing, the yield is more than ninety percent, and there is no need to scrap at all, these white porcelain, are produced in the Qujia kiln, the cost is more than 1,000 yuan, and the further back, the lower the firing cost. ”

"In that case, why don't you release them all, won't you be able to earn more?" Lu Su asked.

The boss glanced at Lu Su with disdain: "If you don't know how to do business, don't interject, annoying?" Lu Su was stunned in place, and the boss turned to Liu Zhang and said: "If you want to say why you don't release them all, I didn't understand it at first, but then the Qu family told me."

What would happen if a large amount of white porcelain came out at once? The first customer won't believe it, they will think you're a fake, just like this tall and thin guy. The boss glanced at Lu Su.

"Second, isn't this white porcelain rare? Therefore, the Qu family first released a small amount of white porcelain, sold 10,000, the merchant earned 7,000, and the Qu family earned 2,000, so as not only to make more money, but also to complete the marketing and distribution of white porcelain, open up sales channels, and also build momentum for white porcelain.

And at the beginning, those high-ranking officials and nobles, huge rich businessmen, bought and showed off, and the people below were not envious? The price is cheaper in the back, can you not compete to buy it? ”

After the boss finished speaking, Liu Zhang and Lu Su both showed surprised looks, Liu Zhang found that now he was completely out of control of business, and businessmen were indeed an explosive group with infinite wisdom.

In the first year of the business, most of Chengdu's business was arranged by the official workshops, and now, a large number of business people have stood up, such as the Qu family, the Yin family, the Huang family, the Wu family, etc., all from the traditional family, to the commercial family, and began to crowd the official market in large numbers.

Private individuals not only set up workshops, but also opened craftsmen's rooms for the development of technology and innovation, from the chairs in the grocery store to the pottery and porcelain here, the products of the official workshops were basically reduced to defective products, and Quxi's marketing methods of white porcelain can be described as comprehensive, completely with the marketing mind of modern business.

Although the income of the official workshop will inevitably shrink, Liu Zhang is happy, as long as there is a market for business, it will have explosive power, which further strengthens Liu Zhang's determination to open the Southwest Silk Road.

And Lu Su once again saw the vitality of Yizhou.

"Do you have any money with you?" Liu Zhang turned to Wang Xu and waited for the guard.

Wang Xu, Hu Che'er and the others all shook their heads, Liu Zhang looked at the porcelain and sighed, and when the boss saw it, he immediately said: "If the adult likes it, what kind of money do you use, the adult can take it casually, this is not a small knot, it is what the adult deserves for his hard work in Shu." ”

Liu Zhang waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll buy it later." ”

Liu Zhang's face was regretful, Wang Xuhu Che'er and he were so powerful, first they didn't think that the white porcelain was any good, obviously the celadon was more fancy. Second, they haven't seen that Liu Zhang has a hobby of collecting porcelain, and his own master is very simple. Basically, I don't buy anything that I eat or drink.

At this time, Lu Su said: "Uncle Huang, I came from Jiangdong and brought some money, let me pay it." ”

Lu Su said and took out two ingots of ten taels of silver (once again, the silver of the Eastern Han Dynasty was in circulation, and many nobles carried silver on them, saying that the poor silver in the Han Dynasty was completely out of circulation to check the historical materials). said to the boss: "This white porcelain net bottle and this white porcelain pot, sell it to me." ”

"This, this ......" The boss looked at Liu Zhang very embarrassed, and said that he had earned seven thousand, how could he be embarrassed to sell it at full price, Liu Zhang said casually: "Since it was given by Mr. Zijing, you can accept it, and be polite to the people of Jiangdong in the future, everyone is a big man." ”

Liu Zhang said generously.

"Yes, yes, yes." The boss took the money and hurriedly wrapped the two pieces of porcelain.

Heard Liu Zhang say this. Lu Su consciously got closer to Liu Zhang, and the twenty taels of silver were too worthwhile, so he immediately hit the snake with the stick: "Uncle Huang, you said this well, Bashu." Jiangdong is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the Sichuan people and the Wu people are all the people of the Han Dynasty. We should have gotten along in harmony, but there were some misunderstandings between the two of us before, and Uncle Huang thinks we should take some time......"

At this time, the boss handed the wrapped porcelain to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang took it, gave it to Lu Su, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zijing, you are a great sage in Jiangdong, you came from afar, Liu Zhang has no gifts to give, these two pieces of white porcelain should be given to Zijing as a meeting gift." ”

Lu Su looked at the two large jars containing porcelain, and was speechless in surprise, in the world, is there such a thing that spends other people's money to buy things and gives them to others?

Lu Su took it dementedly, Liu Zhang turned around and walked out, so powerful that he felt a little lost, and said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, why did you give him this thing worth 20,000 yuan?" What a waste. ”

It's so powerful, I roared in my heart, this is my hundred-month-old money.

"When it's cheaper in the future, I'll buy two for you as a dowry for marrying Miss Bao'er." Liu Zhang smiled, so powerful and sullen all of a sudden.

Liu Zhang also improvised that white porcelain is rare in the world, since the Qu family can fire a large number of white porcelain, there must be a market, right? Now that the Southwest Silk Road has not been opened, other states and counties other than Jingyi are markets that cannot be missed.

Sending white porcelain to Lu Su, and Lu Su bringing it to Jiangdong, isn't this a kind of propaganda? Lu Su is the governor of Jiangdong, and he has a very high prestige among the people and the family, everyone sees him come all the way to bring two pieces of white porcelain, Jiangdong must be proud of having white porcelain, and he is not crazy to buy?

This is the star effect of later generations, and the effect must be better, Lu Su is equivalent to the Minister of Defense of Jiangdong, which is much more domineering than those entertainment stars.

That's why Liu Zhang did it.

Lu Su walked out of the store, holding a jar on both elbows, Lu Su really regretted not bringing his entourage out, holding these two jars of things, for fear of breaking, how can there be a celebrity demeanor, even if Lu Su is informal, it can't be too eye-catching.

"The guy is following up again." Hu Che'er saw that Liu Zhang didn't want to talk to Lu Su.

"Let's go, go over there and find a way to get rid of him."

Liu Zhang walked to a place where there were many people, he was no longer worried that Lu Su would use Jing Yi's emptiness to negotiate terms with him, and it could be seen from Lu Su's performance just now that Jiangdong was desperate for peace.

It's just that Liu Zhang still has some ideas that he hasn't thought about and needs to be straightened out, so he doesn't want to talk to Lu Su at this time, Lu Su is a wise man, and he can't talk about him if he is not ready.

Liu Zhang walked outside the crowd, everyone was watching something, Liu Zhang glanced at Wang Xu, Wang Xu said to a young man who was watching on tiptoe: "Friend, what are you doing here?" ”

The young man didn't look back and said: "It's selling women inside, ouch, it looks like a good-looking, big-breasted and fat buttocks, I'm doing it, and it's the daughter of the previous family, Ge Laozi, rich people can go in from the side door to see, brother, I can't help but want to buy one, but unfortunately I don't have money, I'm in a hurry." ”

"Brother" rubbed his hands, looking impatient and regretful, and couldn't help but jump up and look inside.

"Let's go, rob the bank." A young man next to him looked inside for a long time without blinking, his saliva flowed like a river, he couldn't help it, he shouted, and the people around him looked back at him, and the man said, "Just kidding, kidding." ”

At this time, the reputation of the bank was not as bad as that of later generations, and the bank was a great good institution for loans and deposits, the purchase of unsalable goods, the sale of out-of-stock goods cheaply, and the investment in business.

Liu Zhang shook his head, it is normal to buy and sell slaves and maids in this era, since he is the initiator, he has nothing to sympathize with, and was about to leave, when suddenly the golden fat man walked out of the side door, recognized Liu Zhang at a glance, and kicked the guard at the door.

"What kind of eyes do you have? Don't you know the state pastor? ”

When the people around heard the words of the fat man, they turned their heads one after another, saw Liu Zhang's appearance clearly, and bowed down to Liu Zhang together: "See Lord Zhou Mu." ”

Liu Zhang motioned to everyone to get up, and the fat golden man walked over with a smile and said, "My lord, go in and play?" Which girl you like, I'll give it to you, hehehehe. ”

"What nonsense? Is the Guild rare for your girl? Wang Xu said.

"That's, that's, I mean, choose someone who is diligent and give it to your lord as a slave." The fat golden man laughed. (To be continued.) )
