The reason is very simple, just like high wine, no matter whether it is good or not, it is a gimmick with that spirit, and how many items there are in the playground, all the yamen are not very clear now, but there must be a gimmick to attract popularity. At this moment, all the Yanai are blessed from the heart, including Zhao Chengzong, there have been many disputes in Hebei because of the purchase of land and compensation for houses, etc., many of which he can't understand, how much do those villagers want? Including the price of the house, it is more expensive than the price of the house in the city.

He is the son of the prime minister, of course he will not let these people slaughter him, so he makes a lot of trouble, but not for money? If you want to make more money, you must also get better in Hezhou, otherwise there will be many disputes, and the gains will outweigh the losses in the end.

Song Jiu smiled and said, "These projects are just the tip of the iceberg, and many projects that don't charge will also be fun." ”

Without saying much, with a wave of his hand into the distance, Guo Si and several farmers led the ox cart.

Song Jiu said: "Please try a delicious delicacy first." ”

Cut the cold melon, one person divided a petal, there are many seeds, and there is no sweetness of the melon in his previous life, which is Guo Si's melon field Song Jiu has guided, and the size is not big, the big one is seven or eight catties, and the small one is only three or four catties. Song Jiu estimated that the yield of one mu of sweet potatoes was only three or four thousand catties.

In short, this is a low-yield era, and the yield of various crops, fruits and vegetables is not high, not only fertilizer, but also related to seeds.

He thought so, but Zhu Yanei tasted it and thought it tasted very good, Song Jiu said: "If you buy it and put it in the well to ice it, it will taste better." ”

Then let Guo Si and them sell cold melons, and if they sell it, the big one will cost sixty yuan. The middle one is fifty yuan, and the small one is forty yuan. Very expensive. However, within the scope of affordability, many Yanai stepped forward to buy one or two to take back.

Song Jiu said again: "I'll teach you an experience. ”

Screening of raw and ripe cold melons. Song Jiu only taught a few melon farmers, but it is a new thing, and there are only about 20 households who grow cold melons in the entire Kaifeng Prefecture.

Therefore, whether it can be spread or not is these people, and Song Jiu doesn't want its reputation to be ruined. So pass on his experience. This is also an experience that he found out after suffering a lot in his previous life. Buy watermelons in the summer. Let the melon dealers open it, all of them are red, and when they go home, many of them are raw. If it is according to the experts, he will not be able to hear the voice. After pondering it carefully, I finally figured out a masterpiece. You don't have to listen to any sound, just watch.

There are mostly two kinds, green and black, and the more ripe the color, the darker the color. Dark green and dark black, and then the pattern, the real black pattern, matured. It swells to the point where the black patterns are not connected to each other. On the contrary, the raw melon patterns are connected together like thorns. As long as these two items are done. Then you can recognize what a ripe melon is. But the ripe melon still needs to be seen, if it is a water stain. The melon will be ripe, if it is light. There will be a hollow inside. The most is to look at the melon handle, the melon handle is stiff, the time is long, the taste is not good, if it is green, it is newly picked, the taste will be good.

The second is to use a melon stick to hit the melon eye, the watermelon is not a real oval, carefully to identify, you will find that it is three round petals, this one is the same as the pineapple, as long as it is being cut, no matter the size, it is eight lines. If you hit the melon at the round end of the sun, the two ripe will also be red, and the one you will bring back is still a raw melon. If it is hit at the back of the valve groove, hit to the three-petal groove, the seven-ripe melon will also be beaten into a raw melon.

It's everyone's business to listen to it or not, but Song Jiu said that when someone eats raw melons in the future, they will think of Song Jiu's words.

Song Jiu said again: "Don't throw away the melon seeds, melons like this can bear seven or eight hundred pieces per acre, and if they are sold at this price, one acre of land can earn at least more than twenty yuan." Those sandy lands are worthless, many of them are deserted, and planting a hundred acres is also a big income. ”

Zhu Yanei laughed and scolded, everything changed in Song Jiu's hands, and it became money. But don't say it, there are really people who have moved their minds, not everyone has a lot of money, and some people don't have much money in their families. But next year, if tens of thousands of acres are planted and hundreds of thousands of acres are planted, what price will be sold has nothing to do with Song Jiu.

This is also a serious matter, which will make use of a lot of low-saline land in Kaifeng, and will also increase the income of many people. It can only be said that it has nothing to do with Song Jiu, at most, when summer comes, it can satisfy his cravings. And this cold melon was introduced at his request, Zhao Kuangyin didn't say much, but it was found from the Western Regions, and it wouldn't be too easy. Song Jiu also hoped that it would succeed, not fail.

This is the official beginning of the Mirror Meeting.

Song Jiu asked the students to set off firecrackers and open the silk cloth.

Fortunately, this time I was mentally prepared, and I knew that it was very clear to people, and no one was scared. The price is also different, ten yuan, five yuan, two yuan, one yuan, five hundred yuan, one yuan, one yuan, five hundred yuan, fifty yuan. The latter two are one large and one small, and they wrap an iron edge, and then there is nothing. The more expensive the edging, the more beautiful. Each is a thousand.

In fact, the current bronze mirror is also expensive, the ordinary bronze mirror is sold in two, the Song Dynasty only one or two one-sixteenth of the Song catty, only more than 30 grams, one or two in the sixty to 100 yuan. Ordinary more than four taels, if like the current 100 yuan size copper mirror will weigh more than a dozen taels, and there are large bronze mirrors can reach more than 100 taels. This is just an ordinary bronze mirror, at least more than two hundred yuan a hand. If it is a good workmanship, like Song Jiu, which is inlaid with gold and silver, the price is more expensive.

Song Jiu sells this bright mirror at this price, which is equivalent to selling it as Chinese cabbage.

At first, I was stunned for a moment, and few people could have a normal expression in its clarity, and then when I saw its price, all the ladies came over to scramble for it, and some ladies grabbed more than fifty handfuls. Not to mention waste, their family has a big business, and more than 50 is not necessarily enough.

The yamen looked at each other, all the women were extremely fierce at this moment, none of them dared to step forward, and it was boring to come forward. As soon as the seven thousand mirrors appeared, they were divided. Some people are still staring at more than a dozen mirrors in Pan Lier's hand, all fighting, the tradition of the Chinese, people are crazy, Pan Lier is also anxious, actually robbed more than a dozen, Pan Weide's little daughter-in-law robbed more than twenty. Han Qingchao's wife said: "Little lady Pan, what are you robbing, that glass workshop is not equal to yours." ”

"yes. yes," the daughters-in-law said together. As he spoke, he moved his hand, and in the blink of an eye, a mirror in Pan Li'er's hand was gone. Pan Li'er's eyes flashed wide. looked at Song Jiu aggrievedly. Song Jiu nuns his mouth, Han Qingchao's wife is not wrong, there is something in the south. But it's hard to say it right now. Only then did the various vendors react, why did Song Jiu invite them over, this is a business opportunity.

Han Qingchao looked at his wife holding a large number of mirrors, frowned, and said to Song Jiu: "It's too cheap." ”

"It's okay."

"Like your books."

Song Jiu's textbooks are strictly restricted in the capital, and a set is only sold for one penny, but it didn't take long to come out. I can't see it in the capital. Half of them were bought back by private individuals, and half were bought by businessmen to the states and counties. They are not bound by contracts, and some sell them for a set of four or five yuan, and some of them sell for ten yuan for a set of black hearts. Selling a copy of Song Jiu lost a copy, but these businessmen made a fortune by road, in the capital, on the way, and again in various states and counties.

Teaching materials can also be said to be for education. But the mirror is purely commercial in nature, and this price is obviously unreasonable. Song Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "If there is a lot of volume, the profit will follow, and everyone will not say that I am black-hearted." ”

Began to bring businessmen together to discuss business, and contracts for more than 30,000 mirrors were signed in the blink of an eye.

That's the money.

Han Qingchao looked at the contract in Song Jiu's hand. He also came to his senses and said, "No, I want to have a treat." ”

"Excuse me. But this time is too precious for me to drink. In the future, when the playground opens, I will cover all the ticket costs for you to go in and play. ”

"Yay!"

"No, yes. The state has national rules, the family has a family law, and there are no rules, and the Hezhou industry will be chaotic in the future. Therefore, even if I am nervous about the money in my hand, I will not embezzle your deed funds. In the future, except for the craftsmen and servants, the rest of the people will be charged, including you and me. I ask you, too, to pay for it. ”

"So, what about your majesty?"

"Who dares to charge your majesty? But when His Majesty came down, it was only free of charge, who dared to let him play those exciting games? ”

A scene suddenly appeared in everyone's mind, Zhao Kuangyin sat on the swing and rolled back and forth, screaming in fright while flipping, thinking of this, they bent down and laughed together.

But the money earned this time is still not much, including the contract in Song Jiu's hand, the merchant is a merchant after all, and the contract they signed is mostly one hundred yuan and fifty yuan, although the amount is large, the profit is not high, and the real profit will not exceed two thousand. Its main profit is subsequent sales. And there is one thing that Song Jiuwei said, it is different from the nature of the bronze mirror, and it is a fragile product. After selling out the small mirrors, you can also sell large mirrors, wardrobe mirrors, and after selling out the Song Dynasty, you can also sell the Southern Tang Khitan Southern Han Wuyue, and even sell to foreign countries. How much Liuli sold in the Song Dynasty, Song Jiu remembered that it was described in an overhead novel, which seemed to say that Guangquan Erzhou would get three to five thousand yuan a year just for foreign taxes. This is the tax income of the imperial court, and the corruption and smuggling of officials will be multiplied by five, that is, 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and the shipping rate is 10 to 20 percent, that is, the big food will earn 200,000 to 500,000 yuan from the Song Dynasty in a year alone.

Historically, it is a high-end product, and the sales volume is very small, if the price is cheap, every household uses it, and the scale of its industry is unimaginable.

Song Jiu was decorating the main store and inn, and many high-end shops in the capital began to send people to inquire, but now the workers are not skilled, and the main store and inn will use a lot of colored glass, and Song Jiu asked the steward to refuse.

The glaze workshop will make a lot of money, but in the future, Song Jiu doesn't want to announce it.

Eventually, its profits would go to River Island, but before that, he would make about the same.

instructed the steward to pay the tax at the scene, and also instructed the businessman to pay the tax, one is the residence tax, the other is the tax, which must be paid, Song Jiu said to Pan Weizheng: "Little San, do you want to come to my house to eat the fruit." ”

Pan Weizheng looked at the eldest brother carefully, his parents were not at home, Pan Weide was in charge, Pan Weide waved his hand, and made another action to put it in his arms. In fact, the big guy also wants to go, but the people are wooing the brother-in-law, so why are they going.

Song Jiu carried Pan Weizheng to his horse, rode home, and took out many mirrors and all kinds of exquisite fruits. Pan Weizheng couldn't hold it, Song Jiu asked people to call a donkey cart for him to take home, and went out of the door and ordered: "Don't show your head, otherwise these shameless guys will snatch you away again." ”

Pan Weizheng nodded vigorously while eating the biscuits.

Ping said, "The little guy let you buy it." ”

"Kids, pet a little."

The two talked for a while, and Cui'er ran back from Hezhou, and hurriedly said: "Jiulang, lady, many merchants went to the glass workshop and asked for orders. ”

"That is, so cheap, where will these businessmen let go of business opportunities?"

"yes, a lot of people say you're selling too cheaply."

"It's not cheap, it's half earned. Even if it doesn't, a mirror makes fifty dollars, it is a unique business, how much money will it make by selling one million mirrors a year? ”

"This, a lot of money," Cui'er said, and said, "With this money, why bother to open Hezhou, Jiulang is so tired that he doesn't even have the time to breathe." ”

"Without Hezhou being implicated, can this unique business be done for a long time?"

"Cui'er, Jiulang is right, it's too easy to make money, there are many people with red eyes, just find an excuse and confiscate it, maybe Jiulang will be convicted for it. This is also the reason why Kuro has made many instruments for the country. ”

"Don't think about it so much, the money problem is finally solved, and we have to move." (To be continued......)
