Chapter 138: Porcelain

When Lu Yang heard Su Qian's words, he also suddenly realized, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please rest assured, Miss, our Lu family must also be loyal to Miss." As for the question of the 100,000 taels of silver that the young lady said. Not really. Although our Lu family is not very rich, we can still take out this silver. Miss gave us the shelter of the Lu family, and gave such a technology out, which is enough to buy shares. ”

Qin Mingyue thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'm not polite to you." The reason why I took out the money was because I wanted to build a large workshop as soon as possible. Although your Lu family must also have a workshop, the scale is not large enough, I hope that it will be larger, so that you can earn silver faster. ”

Qin Mingyue actually doesn't have much money on hand now. Although there is a profit of 100,000 taels of silver sent by the Shen family, but the 100,000 taels were given to his brother Qin Guosong to redeem the house, is Rao so, is it not enough? I still owe more than 20,000 taels of silver to the Fengxi merchants. However, now that Qin Mingyue's career is in full swing, those smart Fengxi businessmen don't rush it, let Qin Guosong owe it, and don't even want money.

In addition to the 100,000 taels of silver, Qin Mingyue can now take 5,000 to 8,000 taels of silver from the weaving and dyeing workshop every month. However, as soon as Qin Mingyue came, he had to subsidize about 1,000 taels of silver to the Liguo Mansion every month. Second, he also had to keep some of Qin Mingyue's own expenses, such as making clothes, making jewelry, rewarding the people around him, and giving benefits to the secret guards who supported him. Therefore, there is not much silver left.

Although there is a Zhuangzi given by the queen mother and the master, it is only the first year, and it is not the time of the autumn harvest, so there is no rent collection at all, so naturally there is no income, but someone has to be sent to take care of the grange, and more than 1,000 taels of silver are invested in these Zhuangzi.

The reason why Qin Mingyue told Lu Yang that in the autumn, he would give 100,000 taels of silver to their family to open a workshop. That's because she calculated that by the time autumn comes, almost all the ships at sea will be able to come back. The Shen family will at least settle a commission of 200,000 taels of silver for her. It's okay to take out 100,000 taels.

In fact, the 200,000 taels of silver looked like a lot, and it was not enough for Qin Mingyue to use at all. There are still some debts in the mansion of the Liguo Mansion, and the house has been redeemed, but it has not been rested, and if such a large house wants to rest, and then all the houses are equipped with furniture, curtains, furnishings, etc., without 100,000 taels of silver, it is simply a fantasy.

In addition, Qin Mingyue also wants to buy more properties for the Liguo Mansion, so that she will always be subsidized in the future. Also, next year, the aunts, sisters, and brothers in the family will get married, and their ages are close, so they can only huddle together for happy events, so they can't do it without 100,000 taels of silver.

Therefore, the 200,000 taels of silver seem to be a lot, but in fact, it is not enough at all. Qin Mingyue fortunately had a hope, she estimated that in the autumn, He Jinfang should go to the capital. Those silk and makeup flowers will probably be able to sell the first batch. It's good to still have some income. However, in the first year, there will certainly not be many skilled workers, and there will not be many productions. Then the profit will not be much.

Qin Mingyue really needs silver, if she can save a little, she naturally needs to save a little.

Right now, Lu Yang said that the Lu family didn't need the 100,000 taels of silver, so Qin Mingyue just didn't invest it. However, Qin Mingyue still said: "What about this matter, Lord Lu, you still have to discuss with your family master, if you need this 100,000 taels of silver, I can naturally take it out." ”

Lu Yang originally wanted to postpone it, but he agreed after thinking about it for a while.

Qin Mingyue said to Su Qian: "The method of making porcelain on this, if you think about it, your Su family will be moved." Your Su family has been worshiped in the Star Picking Tower for generations, and you are loyal to the Star Picking Tower, and you will definitely cooperate with me in the future. It's just that I need to expand production, so if your workshop needs to be expanded, if it needs to be expanded, if I don't want to invest money, I can also pay 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Su Qian hurriedly said, "Miss, we don't need your money." Although our Su family is only a craftsman family, it has accumulated a lot over the years, not to mention 100,000, even if there are more, it can be taken out. However, I had a question in mind and wanted to talk to the young lady. ”

"Since Miss wants to do a big business and needs a big workshop, then our Su family's workshop and manpower are probably not enough. The method of firing porcelain you gave is not one. There are many kinds of porcelain production methods from the previous dynasties, and they are all lost from the previous dynasties. This is not something that our Su family can swallow. ”

"For example, this jade-like white porcelain technology is just right for our Su family. Originally, we were also firing white porcelain, and if we get this technology, we will definitely be able to do better. There is also that kind of thin-tired porcelain like smoke, which is also the strength of our Su family. However, the special glaze-making method you have above, cracking borneol, etc., as well as the production of three colors, are not our Su family's strengths. This is exactly what my sister married to the Lian family in Gan Province that she was good at. Now the head of the Lian family is my uncle, and the mistress of the house is my aunt. Now my sister is married. The Lian family has already been connected with our Su family. ”

"I don't know, Miss can agree to let the Lian family also become Miss's retainers and run these porcelain productions with our Su family. In this way, half of the porcelain produced by our Su family's workshop, and half of the porcelain produced by Lian's workshop, there was no need to expand the workshop, and there was no need to train additional manpower. ”

Qin Mingyue frowned when she heard this, and she didn't say anything for a while. The reason why Qin Mingyue hesitated to accept such a good thing was because she accepted retainers, and she didn't accept them casually. The first thing to consider is the question of faithfulness. The Su family and the Lu family were both tested by her in her previous life, so she was very relieved that she was not sure about the Lian family located in Jiangxi Province.

However, thinking about it this way, Qin Mingyue recalled that in her previous life, when she summoned Su Qian and others to study the porcelain burning technology of the previous dynasty, it seems that in the end, she invited a master of the Lian family in Jiangxi Province to study it together. It seems that once I went to personally commend them, and I heard Su Qian call this master uncle in a trance. Because this name is very special, she still has some impressions. It's just that Qin Mingyue never understood the world in her previous life, and she didn't pay attention to these in-laws at all, so she didn't ask.

Now that I think about it, that master should be Su Qian's uncle and the head of the Lian family. That person still had a good impression of Qin Mingyue, not only was he skilled, but he was also very loyal to the Star Picking Tower. I seem to have heard that I used to work in the Star Picking Building.
