Chapter 52 The Timber Business

There are many skilled craftsmen in the palace, and the style of the chaise longue rocking chair is not complicated, and it can be made in a day or two of pondering, but there is a problem in front of these carpenters, and that is polishing.

If you want to achieve the kind of chaise longue rocking chair sent by Qingfengju, smooth and delicate, it is simply delusional, even if you use golden silk nanmu, let alone a hardwood like rosewood.

The carpenters want to imitate but it is out of Li Shimin's meaning, saying that the day after the recliner rocking chair appeared in the palace, it was noticed by Li Shimin's sons and daughters.

Li Shimin was furious about this, and severely reprimanded these little guys, so he ordered the craftsmen of the palace to imitate, and the palace naturally has a lot of precious materials, such as golden silk nanmu, but the idea is haode, and the result is not as he wanted.

Until Qin Yu sent the recliner rocking chair into the palace for the second time, the craftsmen of the palace did not come up with a way, although Li Shimin was unhappy, he did not punish these craftsmen, and then sent Yang Gonggong to ask Qin Yu about the secret that this recliner rocking chair is so smooth, in other words, Li Shimin was also quite curious about it.

Qin Yu saw Gonggong Yang again, and he could see Gonggong Yang's pride at a glance, but he would not ask the reason.

Qin Yu ordered someone to bring a cup of tea to Yang Gonggong, of course, Qin Yu also had it, picked up the teacup and motioned to Yang Gonggong to drink tea, and then asked, "What is the so-called matter of Yang Gonggong here?" ”。

Gonggong Yang's eyes kept staring at the teacup, and when he heard Qin Yu's inquiry, he said in a loud voice, "Gongzi Qin doesn't know, this recliner rocking chair is good, but the number is too small, and the princes and princesses are not happy." ”。

Qin Yu was slightly stunned, and said secretly, "No, how many sets do you have to do here?" Li Shimin has many sons and daughters. ”。

Li Shimin is the biggest in the Tang Dynasty, try to do as little as possible to offend Li Shimin, it's best not to do it, it's just to make some chairs, it's not difficult, Qin Yu hurriedly asked, "I don't know how many sets Bixia else needs?" ”。

Gonggong Yang smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, lifted the tea lid, put it under his nostrils and sniffed it carefully, his face was intoxicated, and then he put it in his mouth and took a sip lightly, and after a while, he said, "Gongzi Qin, there is a saying in the miscellaneous family that I don't know whether to say or not." ”。

"Damn, you've got it right." Qin Yu said secretly, and then said, "Gonggong Yang said bluntly. ”

Gonggong Yang smiled and nodded, and then said, "The miscellaneous family thinks that those who are courtiers should think about Bixia in everything, Bixia wants to make enough recliners and rocking chairs as soon as possible, but how many carpenters are there in Gongzi Qin, and how much time will it take?" ”。

Gonggong Yang paused, and then said, "The miscellaneous family thinks that it is imperative that Qin Gongzi should tell the miscellaneous family about the method of making recliners and rocking chairs, and after the miscellaneous family returns to the palace, they will ask the craftsmen in the palace to make it with all their might, this is the most haode solution, what does Qin Gongzi think?" ”。

When Qin Yu heard this, he still didn't understand what Yang Gonggong meant, and said secretly, "Damn, it's a crooked crutch, just say no." ”。

It was only at this time that Qin Yu knew that the reason for stumping the palace craftsmen was nothing more than polishing, rosewood is hardwood, and what he wanted to do without a planer was the same as the chaise longue rocking chair in Qingfengju, it was basically impossible, even if it was cork, without a planer, it was not easy.

Qin Yu smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem, Father-in-law Yang will wait for a while, Qin will go back to the house and write out the method, Father-in-law Yang will bring it back, and he will be able to make enough chairs in a few days, so that Bixia will not have to worry about this matter." ”。

Gonggong Yang raised his orchid finger with a smile and said, "Gongzi Qin is busy, and the miscellaneous family is waiting here." ”。

Qin Yu shuddered and said secretly, "Damn, dead shemale." But he didn't show anything, this eunuch's heart was the most perverted, Qin Yu naturally knew this, how could he reveal his heart, and then hugged his fists and left the main hall.

Back in the back house, Qin Yu redrew a copy of the drawings of the recliner rocking chair, and then drew the planer and other carpenter tools on the paper, made some explanations, and then handed over these drawings to Yang Gonggong, and after a brief explanation, Yang Gonggong left Qingfeng Ju with the drawings satisfied.

Of course, Gonggong Yang took away a little tea from Qin Yu, who told this dead eunuch to always look at the tea leaves, it was impossible for Qin Yu not to see such an obvious action.

Planers did not appear in China until the Ming Dynasty, and with planers, many hardwood furniture began to prevail in the land of China.

Qin Yu sat on the rosewood chair, leaning on the table with one hand to support his chin, playing with the brush with the other, and said to himself, "Do you want to stock up on some wood?" ”。

But it was Qin Yu who hit the idea of making money on the furniture, specifically the wood of the furniture, and he didn't think about making money on the furniture before, and now he told Li Shimin the production method of the planer, the secret of the planer is not a secret, the opportunity has been lost, but it is not without a chance.

Xiao Tao heard Qin Yu talking to himself, he was a little confused, wood was everywhere, what was there to hoard, but he didn't understand, but he wouldn't interject indiscriminately.

"Don't do furniture, do some timber business is not bad, do furniture also need a lot of manpower, with a long time, short effect, it is better to do timber business, Datang's hardwood is not much used, now the price is cheap, when the advantages of the planer come out, the price will be crazy."

"Yes, that's it, when the planer arrives at the palace, it won't get out for a while, and even if someone notices the usefulness of the planer and uses it, it will take a while, and this time is the best time to stock up on hardwood."

The more Qin Yu thought about it, the more excited he became, he hurriedly looked at Xiao Tao, and said, "Go, call my two brothers-in-law over." ”。

"Yes, young master." After Xiao Tao finished speaking, she hurriedly went to find Cheng Huaimo and Cheng Huailiang.

It didn't take long for Cheng Huaimo and Cheng Huailiang to come to Qin Yu, and before they entered the door, they heard Cheng Huailiang shouting, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter?" So hard work. The words were a little slurred.

As soon as Qin Yu raised his head, Cheng Huaimo and Cheng Huailiang staggered in, without thinking about it, they knew that these two people had drunk a lot again, Qin Yu shook his head helplessly, since this wine was brewed, these two people drank one or two catties almost every meal.

The food is good, the wine is good, but the wine of these two goods is not good, and they get drunk as soon as they drink it, of course, it's not that the amount of alcohol is not good, it's that the two of them drink a lot, and when they get drunk, they are full of ugliness, either they show their breasts and breasts, or they cry wolves, Qin Yu said that he died a few times and did not repent.

Qin Yu shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Do you have a money-making deal?" ”。

Cheng Huaimo and Cheng Huailiang were stunned when they heard Qin Yu's words, and most of the wine immediately woke up, and the two of them looked at Qin Yu with bright eyes, and asked, "What kind of business?" ”。

Although these two people are Cheng Yanjin's sons, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, but they don't have much silver in their hands, and the Cheng family has a big business, and they spend a lot, and they also want to be chic, but they don't have money or anything chic, so Qin Yu's words immediately aroused the interest of the two.

Qin Yu smiled slightly and said, "How about my table and chairs?" ”。

Cheng Huai didn't think about it, and said directly, "Of course it's good, but the number is too small, otherwise, I will definitely get a few sets back." ”。

Cheng Huailiang was more sober than Cheng Huaimo, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother-in-law, you don't want to do this furniture business, do you?" Before Qin Yu could speak, Cheng Huailiang continued, "I wanted to talk to you about this for a long time, but I was worried that my brother-in-law would not be here, so I didn't mention it." ”。

Qin Yu was slightly stunned, not to mention, Cheng Huailiang was really a bit business-minded, then nodded and spoke.

"Yes, it's indeed this business, but it's not all, it may have been the only one before, and it was a hard deal, but now it's not done, the main tool has been passed to Bixia, so this business can be done, but it won't be so profitable.。

"It's not good to make money, brother-in-law, you don't know how hard our brothers' lives are, brother-in-law said, how to make money?" Cheng Huaimo couldn't wait to ask.

Qin Yu really didn't expect these two people to be so obsessed with making money, so he was silent for a moment and said, "How about this, you go home and try to gather carpenters to come to me to learn those, I am responsible for designing the drawings of the furniture, and then get a furniture store together, how about it?" ”。

"Okay, just do it, and then the three of us will share the benefits equally." Cheng Huailiang slapped his face and shouted.

Qin Yu has no opinion on this, anyway, he is only responsible for drawing, and he will leave after Huaimo Cheng Huailiang and the two of them finished speaking, but Qin Yu shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't worry, there is one more thing, this matter is the key." ”。

Cheng Huaimo and Cheng Huailiang hurriedly stopped, turned around and walked back, then Qin Yu said, "I said before, this furniture business can be done, but it can only make money for a while, if you want to make money, there is another way." ”。

"What's the solution?" Cheng Huaimo and Cheng Huailiang asked in unison.

"Wood, you need wood to make furniture, right? The furniture we want to make also needs wood. After Qin Yu finished speaking, seeing Cheng Huaimo, Cheng Huailiang's face was puzzled, he immediately smiled, and continued.

"This wood is not a casual wood, if you want to make haode furniture, the choice of materials is very important, what we have to do is to stock up on these high-quality woods, for example, rosewood, rosewood, etc., these growth years are high, the quantity is scarce, and it is the best wood in the wood."

"I understand, brother-in-law, you want to sell at a price." Cheng Huailiang's eyes lit up and he spoke.

"Yes, yes." Qin Yu picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip gently, and said with a smile.

"Okay, that's it." Cheng Huaimo seemed to see a large sum of silver, and shouted happily.

Cheng Huaimo and Cheng Huailiang discussed with Qin Yu for a while, and then hurriedly returned to Cheng's Mansion and talked about it with Cheng Yanjin, the two of them had no money, and it was naturally Cheng Yanjin who paid the money, Qin Yu naturally wouldn't forget Qin Qiong, and it didn't take long for him to go to the Yiguo Mansion.

The timber business is purely based on their own input, more will make more, less will make less, if Qin Yu does this by himself, it may not be possible, he will not be able to eat so much wood for a while and a half, he can only pull Cheng Yanjin into the water together, Qin Qiong's money is not much, but he can make some money for Qin Qiong.

Fortunately, the timber that Qin Yu said will take dozens or hundreds of years to become wood, and the quantity will not be too much, even if it is Datang, otherwise this transaction will really not be done.
