Chapter 359: The Emperor's Silver Is Useful

The Zeng family also went out to run errands, and their sensitivity to glazed bricks and tiles was much stronger than that of other families.

When a young guy heard the news, he also went to Qingyun Glass Store to see the real thing, and then rushed home to report it.

It's hard not that he's not in a hurry, it's not just any news or anecdote. For the Zeng family, there are real glazed bricks and tiles on the market, which is a serious business information, and it must be reported to the owner of the family as soon as possible.

Zeng Liqun, the head of the Zeng family, heard the news from the housekeeper, and he couldn't sit still at that time, and ordered: "Let people go to Qingyun Glass Store immediately and buy two pieces of each of his family's new goods." ”

The housekeeper just responded, but before he turned around, Zeng Liqun added: "Who went to Qingyun Glass Store to see the glazed tiles, and called him in to reply." ”

Actually, Zeng Liqun didn't need to be so anxious, he called the little guy who sent the news back in, and after listening to the little guy describe the appearance, shape, color and luster of the glazed tiles in detail, the people who bought the glazed tiles also came back.

Four colors, three grades, twelve glazed tiles, twelve glazed bricks, one by one on the steps of the eaves corridor.

Zeng Liqun didn't even need to step forward to take a closer look, he knew how big the gap between the glazed tiles he supplied to the palace and the things in front of him.

Hearing the news, the descendants of the increase stood in a circle behind him, and saw the bricks and tiles made of real glaze, and the expressions of the people in the circle were not relaxed.

As soon as this kind of thing comes out, it's going to smash his family's job, right?

It is true that the price of glazed tiles and glazed bricks of the Xia family is high, but how many rich people are there in the world? How many rich people are there in the capital? Will these luxurious dignitaries be reluctant to give up those few pieces of silver?

There is also the imperial palace, the whole world belongs to the emperor, will the imperial palace not be able to afford a glazed tile for one or two pieces of silver?

It is foreseeable that once the glazed tiles of the Xia family are launched, the output of the Zeng family is really not enough.

Imperial Merchant Qualification? Don't think about it, compared with the glazed tiles of Qingyunzhai, the Zeng family, that is the real tile, you can remove the word glaze.

This time, Qingyun Zhai made a move, which was actually bigger than any previous time.

The previous flat glass, although it can be said to be a historical precedent, introduced a new item that has never been seen before.

But at that time, no one had the ability to make glass, and everyone could only act as consumers.

And there is no crisis in the glass industry to seize who buys and sells, even if many mansions use glass doors and windows, the original hemp paper doors and windows have no market, but there is no threat to any industry.

The world of paper, that is a large market, all kinds of straw paper, hemp paper, rice paper, the scope of use, the application of the occasion is huge. The hemp paper of the window lattice, there are really few paper-making workshops that rely on this for a living.

But glazed tiles are different, which are more or less used by many wealthy people, and glazed bricks and tiles have always been high-end products.

Nowadays, this high-end product is compared with the production of Qingyun Zhai, then it is nothing, the glazed bricks and tiles in the original sense can basically be reduced to the point where the poor are not loved by the rich.

In this world, the glazed brick and tile business is not only related to the family and the Zeng family, there are many workshops, all of which make money by firing glazed tiles, and the quality of these glazed tiles is not as good as the Zeng family.

Now that it is compared with the production of Qingyun Zhai, it is really ashamed to use the word glaze to name it.

Qingyun Zhai, this is really going to take everyone's jobs.

There are mansions that plan to renovate their houses, and the glazed tiles that will be used will be abandoned at this time, which was originally shared by each family. Each mansion will add several times more silver to the original plan, and instead purchase glazed bricks and glazed tiles from Qingyun Zhai.

There are also those things that have no repair plan, and they see such a brilliant thing, it is likely that like Mrs. Jiang, they will repair and replace a small part of the house to add a little brightness to their yard.

All this, and the original glazed tile business is nothing to do with it, how can you live in the future?

The imperial court determines an imperial merchant, which will involve the interests of many parties.

Just when people were speculating that Qingyun Zhai had made such a scene, and whether it was possible to change a supplier in the palace in this part of the building, under the eaves of the main hall of Renxinyuan, where the emperor often rested, there were also twenty-four samples of glazed bricks and glazed tiles neatly arranged.

The Zeng family and the officials related to the Zeng family were worried that their income would be bleak in the future, but the emperor was just assessing whether the Xia family's women were clever enough to pour out the silver of the powerful and rich families.

After reading the results, I asked the price again, and I was extremely satisfied. The woman of the Xia family really has the ability, and she is also very good at figuring out the purchasing power of the rich family.

These things are not as sky-high as glass ornaments, but set the price in a range that may be distressing, but absolutely affordable.

Therefore, there is no such thing as scaring people away.

The current emperor can almost see that a large amount of silver coins scattered in the mansions of various great families are divided into countless parts. The treasury, the shops, all the raw materials, the helpers in the production, and the purchase, and even the coolies who pick up and carry the goods from the Qingyun Glass Store, can all get a share of the income.

The emperor thought of Xia Yanqing's previous proposal to adjust the tax, and then he regretted it a little, regretting that he didn't ask more about this matter.

If he intervenes, meddles, or in this business, he can also make some adjustments to the tax.

Looking at the four-colored glazed bricks and glazed tiles that were placed on the steps under the eaves and illuminated by the sun, the emperor felt a pain in his liver at the thought of the missing piece of taxes.

Alas, regret not being at the beginning!

It's all because he underestimated the Xia family at that time, so he didn't expect that the building materials made of glaze would be so beautiful, so beautiful that those powerful and rich people who pay attention to face luxury can't resist it, and they will spend silver.

As for the Zeng family, the supplier of glazed tiles for the imperial palace, and the things that those officials who tremble about, there is no possibility of it happening here in the emperor.

When the emperor returned to the main hall of Renxin Garden, he smiled very proudly when he looked at Shangsun Congshan, and said: "What I mean, I hope that Qingyun Zhai can make some exquisite things, and can take out more silver from those rich people." Well, Xia did a good job.

As for the Imperial Palace, the treasury of my treasury and the silver of the inner treasury are of serious use, and they cannot be wasted on these flashy things. ”

He suggested that the Xia woman should raise some luxury items, which was to calculate the silver of the big family. The palace, how big is that? How is it possible to change glazed tiles and calculate yourself?

Besides, how many dynasties the palace has gone through and how many years it has passed, it is all precipitated by history.

Could it be that a few less gorgeous glazed tiles can shake the deep and long historical accumulation? Can you shake the incomparable status of the palace? It's a joke!

Sun Congshan cautiously reminded: "Qingyunzhai's glazed tiles are so high-quality, will it affect the original firing of glazed tiles, resulting in a large number of people losing their livelihood?" ”

The emperor smiled and shook his head, this matter, when he learned that Qingyun Zhai planned to burn the real glazed tiles, he thought about it.

The emperor said with certainty: "No, there are not many mansions that can buy a glazed tile for two taels of silver, and there are a large number of people who lack financial resources, but want red bricks and blue tiles, will still use the original glazed tiles, so there is really no need to worry about this." ”
