Wang Chengen shook his head and said with a mysterious face: "Brother Wei, you still underestimate the abundant financial resources in the hands of those dignitaries and nobles in the capital..."

"You must know that the wealth in the hands of those dignitaries and nobles in the capital has been accumulated little by little over the past hundred years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and its strong Cheng dù is definitely beyond your imagination."

"For these people, buying a piece of glass for tens of thousands of taels of silver and showing it off is definitely a very cost-effective deal....so, as long as you dare to set a price, they dare to buy it..."

"So, Brother Wei, you can set whatever price you want, don't be afraid that no one will buy it... In our Ming Dynasty, there are many rich officials and nobles-... I can say with certainty that as long as this kind of glass mirror is transported to the capital, it will definitely cause a sensation among all the dignitaries and nobles in the capital and cause them to rush it. ”

"So, set whatever price you want, Brother Wei, don't be polite..."

Two days later, a piece of news quickly spread throughout the capital.

"A batch of glass mirrors has just arrived in the Beijing Huangdian, which is not only of high quality, but also a giant glass mirror that has never appeared in the capital..."

Although the glass mirror is not uncommon in the Ouchi Imperial Palace, in the hands of the dignitaries in Beijing, it is something to show off their identity and status. Therefore, among the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, they are proud to have a few glass mirrors.

And now, the imperial stores scattered in the capital actually have glass mirrors for sale, which has to make the officials and nobles in the capital feel excited and expectant.

As a result, the glass of the imperial store had just been put on sale, and the dignitaries and nobles in the capital and their housekeepers. They flocked to the royal stores in the capital. Want to see the glass mirrors that will be sold soon.

lived up to their expectations......

Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of expectant eyes. Dozens of glass mirrors of different sizes were slowly moved out by the eunuchs of the imperial store and displayed in front of everyone.

Just like Wang Chengen's watch, a few one-person-tall glass mirrors just appeared on the counter, causing a series of exclamations.

Dozens of dignitaries and dignitaries who were waiting to buy glass mirrors directly focused their eyes on the largest glass mirrors.

At this time, Wang Chengen, who was Emperor Chongzhen's personal eunuch, unexpectedly appeared at the counter.

He hugged his fists at everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen. The identity of the miscellaneous family, everyone should know....These glass mirrors that everyone sees are all produced by His Majesty from overseas with a lot of money to introduce technology. ”

"Now, these glass mirrors will be sold in all the imperial stores of the Ming Dynasty....I hope that you will visit more often, take care of the sound of the imperial store, and increase some income for the inner library of the Majesty......"

Even if he is a relative of the emperor, or even a member of the imperial court, he does not dare to have the slightest support in front of Wang Chengen, the confidant of Emperor Chongzhen. Especially after hearing that these glass mirrors were things that the emperor wanted to sell, he hurriedly said with a flattering face.

The prince laughed. We will definitely buy such a good glass mirror...", a butler said with a compliment on his face.

The housekeeper from the palace didn't say anything. Others have nothing to say.

As soon as the middle-aged housekeeper finished speaking, the compliments of dozens of other people reached Wang Chengen's ears.

Wang Chengen nodded and replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, the miscellaneous family will definitely pass on the kindness of the adults to the emperor, so that the emperor will be happy....Okay, it's time to say that the miscellaneous family has already said, what glass do you need, go directly to the counter to place an order, the counter has the specific price of various glass mirrors." “

"As long as you send silver, you can have as many glass mirrors as you want..."

As soon as Wang Chengen finished speaking, the official of the palace who had just spoken didn't even look at the price of the glass mirror, so he shouted loudly: "Wang Gonggong....I am the housekeeper of the palace, and I order the five largest glass pieces here on behalf of the palace...... Then I ordered ten medium glass mirrors, twenty glass mirrors of the smallest model, I don't know how much silver in total..."

At Wang Chengen's signal, a eunuch quickly handed the list he had just written down to Wang Chengen.

After glancing at the number on the list, Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Steward Wang, the goods you just ordered are equivalent to a total of 100,000 taels of silver... Steward Wang, these glass mirrors you asked for by name cost 10,000 taels of silver on one side, 4,000 taels of silver on one side for the medium ones, and 50 taels of silver on the smallest ones..."

"One hundred thousand taels of silver, although it is a little expensive, but our palace can still pay this silver....princess, two hours later, one hundred thousand taels of silver will be sent to your store, I hope that the prince can give us a few good words in front of the emperor."

Wang Chengen nodded and replied: "The palace is really generous, and it is 100,000 taels of silver as soon as it is shot, and it is atmospheric... Go back and tell your prince, the emperor will definitely show the prince's support for the court..."

With the one who took the lead, other imperial relatives and dignitaries had nothing to hesitate about, and reported the glass mirror they wanted......

Under Wang Chengen's gaze, only half an hour later, the first batch of glass mirrors that Wei Zheng sent to the Chenghuang Store were all set.

Looking at the flow of people who were still pouring into the store in front of him, Wang Chengen had to make a promise to everyone: come to order in five days, which alleviated everyone's dissatisfaction and urgency for the glass mirror...

At this time, the eunuch in charge of this imperial store had already walked up to Wang Chengen with excitement on his face and reported loudly.

"Lord Steward, the sales count of our imperial store today has been calculated..."

"The miscellaneous family has been in charge of the imperial store for several years, and it is safe to say that the income of this imperial store for two consecutive years is not as much as it is today..."

Wang Chengen also showed an expectant expression on his face, and hurriedly took over the account book.

I don't know if I don't know it, when Wang Chengen's eyes saw the last string of numbers in the ledger, Wang Chengen's face also showed a shocked expression from the heart.

After taking a deep breath, he asked the eunuch in front of him, "Little Liuzi, you didn't miscalculate?" Today, we collected so much silver in one day......"

"Yes, Lord Steward," replied the little eunuch with an excited face.

"A total of one hundred and twenty-five thousand taels of silver... A tael of silver is not miscalculated... In addition, among the more than 1.2 million taels of silver, 850,000 taels of silver have already been delivered to the counter. The remaining more than 300,000 taels of silver will also be delivered to the counter before dark......"

Wang Chengen, who was shocked, did not speak, but silently calculated in his heart how much of the more than one million taels of silver really belonged to the emperor.

Soon, a hint of heartfelt surprise appeared on Wang Chengen's face.

Then, under the incomprehensible gaze of the eunuch in charge of the imperial store, he ordered loudly: "Little Liuzi, you have shown me a good look at the imperial store....When all the silver arrives, we must send heavy troops to guard it, and we must not let these silver accidents..."

After speaking, Wang Chengen hurriedly left the imperial store with the account book.

As the night slowly enveloped the city of Beijing, except for a few palaces that were still lit up, the other palaces were also shrouded in darkness and became dark.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was at the helm of the Ming Dynasty, continued to sit on the dragon chair as usual and read the folds, completely unaffected by the darkness.

At this moment, Wang Chengen, who hurriedly returned to the palace, didn't have time to rest, so he walked to Emperor Chongzhen's dragon case, and said with a face full of heartache: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has brought a great news to Your Majesty....I hope that after hearing this news, Your Majesty can rest as soon as possible, take care of your dragon body, our Ming Dynasty can not do without you..."

"Companion, you're back....I should know my character, if these twists and turns are not completed, they will never rest. If there is any good news, maybe I will be happy, and the speed of the review will be faster. Tonight, maybe I'll be able to get some rest sooner? Chongzhen shook his head and replied helplessly.

Wang Chengen, who grew up watching Chongzhen since he was a child, could only show a facial expression full of helplessness.

After taking a deep breath, he said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the good news that the slave maid wants to report is that the first batch of glass mirrors sent to the city by the third-class uncle, the chief soldier of Shanxi, has begun to be sold in the imperial store in the capital......"

"Hundreds of glass mirrors, in less than a day, were sold completely, which was beyond the expectations of the slaves."

"Business is so good, it seems that my decision to cooperate with Lord Wei is very correct..."Emperor Chongzhen, who did not realize that he was already holding a cornucopia in his hand, only replied in a flat tone, and his facial expression did not change in the slightest.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen continued to report: "Your Majesty, your decision is not just correct, but very wise....In just one day, we sold more than 1.2 million taels of silver... After deducting the cost that needs to be paid to Lord Wei, the silver that belongs entirely to us is more than 250,000 taels..."

"At this time, the specific account book of today's sale of glass mirrors......please read it..."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver....Daban, you are not wrong..."At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was still calm just now, reading the folds, shook his hands because of shock, directly dropped the imperial pen, and took the account book sent by Wang Chengen...

After seeing the number jù on the account book with his own eyes, the shock on Emperor Chongzhen's face was quickly covered with excitement.

Ignoring the etiquette, he said loudly: "It seems that this third-class uncle of mine did not give him Wei Zheng in vain... Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, this is only the income of the first batch of glass mirrors. You know, there are more than a dozen earnings like today's in a year. And this is only the income of the Imperial Store in the capital, if you count the whole country, it is definitely easy to earn millions of taels of silver a year..."

"Millions of taels of silver, as long as I have this silver every year, then I can do a lot of things in the imperial court....good, do it well, Wei Aiqing deserves to be my confidant minister." (To be continued......)
