Ye Chunqiu returned home, took a nap, and when he got up, many people from the family had already come to visit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Most of these people are fellow villagers in Ningbo.

The people of Ningbo suffered from the Japanese people, perhaps the people in other parts of the Ming Dynasty did not have a deep feeling for the Japanese and the Japanese envoys, but the Ningbo people of this era knew best.

In fact, there are also some Ningbo people in Beijing who are officials, and usually these Ningbo people form a township party, and most of the requests and walks around are carried out in the mansions of those people.

But now, more people are willing to come to the Ye family, the organization of the township party is the most complicated, don't look at the usual looseness, but once something happens, it can always string many people together through intricate threads.

When you are away from home, it is a matter of course to hold a group.

Ye Chunqiu didn't like this kind of personal contact, but fortunately, at this time, Ye Jingxia came back and invited everyone to sit in the hall.

However, Chen Jin specially came to see Ye Chunqiu, and thanked him a thousand times, Ye Chunqiu picked him up: "No need to be polite, I don't know when you plan to return to your hometown?" ”

Return......

Chen Jin couldn't help but be embarrassed; "The villain was originally in charge of purchasing in the city shipping department, because this incident happened, the villain went around complaining, and the officials in the city shipping department ordered me not to cause trouble, and when he saw that I ignored it, he dismissed me from ...... name."

Ye Chunqiu understood his situation, in fact, the local officials may not be cold-blooded, to a certain extent, they are just afraid of things, now that Chen Jin has been removed, Ye Chunqiu thought for a while, and said, "What are you mainly responsible for?" ”

Chen Jin said: "The city department is not only responsible for receiving envoys, but also buying commercial goods in the market and trading with envoys, such as silk and porcelain. ”

Ye Chunqiu is a native of Ningbo, and he is very clear about this tributary system, most of the time the Ming Dynasty implements the sea ban, but foreign trade is not nothing, but most of it is done through the city and the city, and the general vassal states send envoys, which will bring rare things from various countries, which is the legendary 'Nagong', and the imperial court will repay the favor, and most of them will use the equivalent, or even more lucrative goods in return, which is called a reward.

Although it is dressed in the cloak of a tributary system, in fact, this tributary system is a trade.

Chen Jin should be in the position of worship, he is a relatively high-level 'scribe', and now that he has no job, Ye Chunqiu thought for a while and said, "You might as well follow my uncle to do things, my uncle has set up a crystal workshop in the North Canal, you are still in charge of worship, purchasing the necessary sand and coal, these two days, you settle down first, is the silver enough?" ”

Chen Jin listened, why wasn't he grateful? Busy is said: "Enough, enough, the villain still has some savings." ”

Ye Chunqiu asked someone to invite his uncle Sun Qi to come, Sun Qi was busy in the workshop of the North Canal many times, and when he heard that Ye Chunqiu was looking for him, he rushed over non-stop.

Ye Chunqiu told him about Chen Jin, Sun Qi didn't hesitate, and agreed: "Speaking of which, this purchase is the most cumbersome, and people who can't be trusted by ordinary people dare not entrust it with heavy responsibilities, I am also a newcomer, and the crystal workshop has just been created, and I have to do many things myself, so I can't be busy." ”

Then, he looked at Chen Jin and said, "Brother Chen is also from Ningbo?" You and I are fellow villagers, since you are good at the way of worship, then you will come to the crystal workshop tomorrow and familiarize yourself with the situation first. ”

Chen Jin thanked him for his kindness, and then said goodbye.

These days, Sun Qi is a dragon with no end in sight, and when Chen Jin left, he cheered up and said with a smile on his face: "Spring and Autumn, the profits of this crystal workshop are really huge." ”

Sun Qi was very interested, and said that the goods of the crystal workshop were forcibly apportioned, and the supply system of the medical hall was used to include hundreds of merchants in this system into the trading of crystal mirrors and crystal glass, and forcibly supplied them, these people were also worried that the medical hall would not purchase their goods, so at first they pinched their noses and ate these crystals.

But since they spent money to purchase these 'crystals', if they are piled up in the warehouse like this, they will not only occupy the warehouse, but also lose all their money, these people are businessmen who come and go from the north to the south, which person does not have an extremely complicated political and business relationship behind them?

Some people simply take this to give gifts to people, and some people go around to promote, these hundreds of businessmen, almost become the same as the bookstore of Nanzhili and Zhejiang Buzheng Division, and become a free salesman of the crystal workshop, so the crystal products on the market began to appear, and many people began to gradually have an impression, only to know the many benefits and preciousness of this crystal.

On the other hand, it is the head of the medical hall, the Ye family launched crystal products at the same time in the thirteen medical halls in the south of the Yangtze River, originally in this era, the glass is a luxury, but the glass is colorful, but the crystal is colorless and transparent, it is the best mirror, and it is also the best lighting products, those women who run the house, as well as those young ladies in the boudoir, immediately fell in love with the crystal mirror, almost just on the shelves, all the crystal mirrors were sold out, and the female medical hall was there, and every three or five people repaired the book to Beijing to urge the goods.

Chen Rong also introduced crystal in the poetry club, and also held a poetry meeting about crystal, which recorded a lot of poems, which also attracted the attention of many people.

Fame is so opened, for the rich and noble, whether it is pearl or agate, in fact, it doesn't matter, as long as it is worthy of their identity, this crystal looks very rare, not to mention that there are many practical uses.

Even some wealthy families, actually want to use crystal glass to replace their own windows, a try, the effect is indeed better than the window paper pasted doors and windows I don't know how many times, the lighting is excellent, and there is no need to change at all times, the sealing is not known how many times stronger, the most important thing is that there is such a thing, but also more can show the identity of the owner's family, which is different from the calligraphy and painting and agate hidden at home, such a glamorous and outstanding thing, put here, but whoever comes to the door, who doesn't know?

Gradually...... Crystal became famous in Jiangnan for a while and began to become popular.

Sun Qi said: "Now the workshop is refining day and night, the yield has also increased a lot, and the craftsmen are much more skilled than at the beginning, so it is said that the daily output of this crystal glass is rising." Ay...... This crystal can make more money than porcelain, although the value of porcelain is also expensive, but the cost is very high, the output is limited, the competition is not small, and this crystal, but with some of the most common sand and gravel firing can be, the output is also very large, and now this is all over the world, can produce crystal only the North Canal workshop, this is not a profitable business? ”
