Chapter 226: Profiteer Xu Yi, no traitor is not a businessman
Afternoon.
The three-wheel green canopy carriage set off slowly from the Ruyi Building.
Facing the scorching sun, he drove straight towards the west of Lower Los Angeles.
Inside the carriage.
Xu Yi leaned on the soft collapse, his eyes quietly looking at the streets on both sides through the wide open car window.
It could have accommodated three horse-drawn carriages running side by side on a huge street.
There are only two or three figures, and they are in a hurry.
When the three-wheel green canopy carriage slowly drove through the most prosperous and lively streets of Lower Los Angeles.
A more depressed and deserted Lower Los Angeles City instantly appeared in front of Xu Yi's eyes.
Burned houses, hurried passers-by.
A numb beggar lying on the ground.
A boring tavern shopkeeper, an empty tavern lobby.
All the way.
The depression and desertion of Lower Los Angeles seem to tell the cruelty of war all the time.
It seems to remind Xu Yi of the importance of building cavalry all the time.
Xu Yi slowly lowered the curtain and muttered in a low voice, "How important is it to keep the enemy out of the country?"
Correct.
If you want to repel the enemy outside the city gate, fortified cities, heavy crossbows, grain and grass, elite armor, and cavalry of a hundred battles are indispensable.
Those who have fortified cities, heavy crossbows, and grain and grass can hold on to a city.
Those who have grain and grass, elite armor, and cavalry in a hundred battles can resist the enemy thousands of miles away.
If the fortified city, heavy crossbows, grain and grass, elite armor, and cavalry of a hundred battles are all embraced.
then you can attack the city. Retreat can stick to one side.
"It's still a long way off." Xu Yi sighed, and muttered in a low voice: "The top priority is to make money, and everything is empty without money."
......
......
Half an hour later.
The wheels of the three-wheeled carriage slowly stopped turning.
Yang Xian'an rode to the side of the three-yuan green canopy carriage.
"Sixth Master, it's time to go to the workshop."
Inside the carriage.
After hearing this, Xu Yi slowly got up and walked out of the carriage.
As soon as Fang stepped out of the carriage, he was greeted by three huge workshops side by side.
At this time, there were three or four hundred young men standing respectfully in front of the workshop.
Among these people, there are only a few hundred people surnamed Chai.
The rest were all soldiers of the trapping camp secretly dispatched by Xu Yi in advance.
Of course, at this time, their identities are just a ploy.
"Subordinate Chai Baoyi! Meet the Lord!"
Chai Baoyi's body trembled slightly, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and then he strode forward and bowed deeply.
"I'll meet the prince!"
The people of the Chai family and the soldiers of the trapping camp followed closely behind and bowed down.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and said, "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Lord Xie." Chai Baoyi bowed deeply again and thanked him.
Wait until he gets up.
Xu Yi stepped forward and asked, "How are the things prepared?"
Chai Baoyi followed Xu Yi's side, and replied as he led the way, "Back to the prince, everything is ready."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and stepped into the first workshop.
"Lord Wang, please take a seat." Chai Baoyi stretched out his hand to please.
"I have a heart." Xu Yi nodded slightly, and after a word of praise, he walked to the Taishi chair prepared by Chai Baoyi in advance.
After taking a seat, he took out a well-folded piece of rice paper from the hem of his sleeve.
It was solemnly handed over to Chai Baoyi.
"This is the method of refining medicinal jade, and after the Chai family master sees it, he can order someone to start refining." Xu Yi commanded calmly. ….
"Obey!" Chai Baoyi saluted solemnly, and then took the rice paper with both hands.
When Chai Baoyi and the others began to prepare.
Xu Yi slowly got up and paced back and forth in the workshop.
After confirming that there are no problems with the blast furnace, tools, molds, and raw materials such as quartz sand.
Fang Cai walked to the Taishi chair again and chatted with Yang Xian'an while waiting.
......
......
Time flies by in boredom.
When dusk comes, the sky is full of bright red glow.
Suddenly there was a burst of screams from the side of the blast furnace in the workshop.
"Melted! Melted! It's finally melting!"
"Finally molten iron! It's really not easy!"
"Quick! Go and ask the prince!"
"Yes, yes, go and invite the prince!"
As materials such as quartz sand melt into liquids.
The firewood guys next to the blast furnace instantly became excited.
For this moment to come, they have been staying by the burning blast furnace in the scorching heat for a long time.
The clothes were already completely soaked.
If you twist your hands gently, the sweat will flow like a stream.
At the Taishi chair, after smelling the noisy movement next to the blast furnace, Xu Yi had already gotten up without waiting for Chai Baoyi to invite.
"Let's go, let's go and see it."
The corners of Xu Yi's mouth rose slightly, and then he walked towards the blast furnace.
"Yes." Yang Xian'an agreed and silently followed behind Xu Yi.
Seeing this, Chai Baoyi, who was approaching, hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Lord Wang, quartz sand and other raw materials have been refined."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and commanded as he walked, "Take the iron pipe and iron clamp."
"Yes." Chai Baoyi agreed, and then quickly ran to the blast furnace and took out the iron pipes and iron clamps that had been prepared in advance.
Xu Yi slowly walked through the excited crowd, and finally stopped by the blast furnace.
In front of him, a dazzling bright orange liquid was flowing slowly in the blast furnace.
Xu Yi picked up the iron rod on the side and gently poked the bright orange liquid in the blast furnace.
After feeling it carefully, he commanded, "Take it out."
As soon as the words fell, even a servant with a large waist and a round waist took out the glass liquid with a heavy iron spoon.
After the liquid glass has been removed.
Xu Yi looked sideways at Chai Baoyi slightly and ordered, "Let's start."
"Obey!" Chai Baoyi bowed when he heard this.
As soon as the words fell, Chai Baoyi immediately took the iron pipe and did it himself.
As Chai Baoyi's cheeks bulged, calmed, puffed up again, and calmed again.
The bright orange liquid gradually turned into an irregular cylinder.
The cylinder glowed orange-red throughout.
It looks exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
Just as the column continued to expand.
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly and said, "It's okay."
As soon as the words fell, Chai Baoyi stopped blowing.
"Hold the bottom of the bottle first." Xu Yi commanded as he reached out and picked up a huge pair of iron scissors.
After Yang Xian'an fixed the bottle.
Xu Yi took advantage of the fact that the bottle had not yet cooled.
With a slight strain of his hands, he saw that the glass bottle was cut open from the mouth of the bottle.
When all is said and done.
Xu Yi immediately looked at Chai Baoyi and ordered, "Pour the remaining liquid into the mold prepared by your sight."
"Obey." Chai Baoyi put down the iron pipe and bowed.
A quarter of an hour later. ….
The bottle in Yang Xian'an's hand had completely cooled, revealing its transparent and flawless nature.
"Sixth Master, this ......" Yang Xian'an looked at the transparent bottle in his hand and asked dumbfounded, "This ...... Is this a crystal?"
Xu Yi took half a step forward and took the bottle from the iron clip.
While looking at it carefully, he replied, "This is medicinal jade, or it can be called colored glass."
'Yaoyu? Glass? , Yang Xian'an muttered twice.
Then he wondered, "Why is this medicinal jade so pure and immaculate?"
The corners of Xu Yi's mouth rose slightly, and he chuckled, "It's a long story at this time."
The words fell.
Xu Yi handed the glass bottle in his hand to Yang Xian'an, and then asked, "How much does Xian'an think this thing is worth?"
Yang Xian'an stretched out his hand to take the glass bottle and took a closer look.
Shaking his head slightly, he said, "This thing has never been seen in Da Zhou, and it is really difficult to estimate."
Yang Xian'an paused slightly, and then continued: "However, rare things are expensive, if this thing is made more exquisitely, and the quantity is less, its value should be slightly more than that of beautiful jade."
The words fell. Not far away, Chai Baoyi and several Chai family disciples walked slowly with several exquisitely shaped medicinal jades in their hands.
Yang Xian'an looked at the medicinal jade held in the hands of Chai Baoyi and the others, and he was distracted for a while.
Xu Yi chuckled, and then motioned to Chai Baoyi and the others to place the medicinal jade on the wooden table on the side.
Xu Yi quietly looked at the several exquisitely shaped and immaculate medicinal jades on the wooden table, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile with incomprehensible meaning.
In its eyes, these exquisitely shaped 'medicinal jade', where is some useless glass.
It was clearly a pile of gold shining with golden light.
It's a sturdy war horse!
It's an armor with a cold glow!
It is an indispensable cornerstone for him to achieve the hegemony of Wang Tu!
"Good job." Xu Yi praised it, and then slowly said, "Find a quiet place."
"Obey!" Chai Baoyi bowed.
Then he took Xu Yi to the workshop account room.
Inside the bookkeeper.
Xu Yi sat upright on the Taishi's chair and said slowly, "The matter of medicinal jade is very important, and the method of refining must not be leaked."
Chai Baoyi saluted solemnly when he heard this: "Please also rest assured that your subordinates will guarantee that they will never let this law leak to others."
Xu Yi nodded and said, "The master of the Chai family is doing things, Lone is naturally at ease, if it weren't for this, Lone would not entrust this matter to you."
"Subordinate...... His subordinates are favored by Prince Xie." Chai Baoyi's eyes were slightly red, and he replied solemnly.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then took out a thick stack of rice paper from his arms.
It was solemnly handed over to Chai Baoyi.
Then he ordered: "This thing is put away by the master of the Chai family, and after everyone gets used to it, they can start refining the painting of this thing."
Chai Baoyi took the rice paper with both hands, and then saluted solemnly: "Obey!"
After the words fell, Chai Baoyi solemnly put away the thick pile of rice paper.
Then he asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, what should I do with the medicinal jade produced in the future?"
The corners of Xu Yi's mouth rose slightly, and then he waved his hand to signal Chai Baoyi and Yang Xian'an to come forward.
Wait for the two of them to go up before and after.
Xu Yi slowly taught the two of them the way of business. ,….
With Xu Yi's slow teaching, Yang Xian'an and Chai Baoyi's faces changed from expectation to sluggishness.
Eventually, it was replaced by a sense of shock and admiration.
If it is carried out according to the plan formulated by Xu Yi.
The glass products produced in the Lower Los Angeles workshop can be broadly divided into three categories.
First, the small shape of medicinal jade, this kind of medicinal jade is used to make jewelry, and the corresponding target group is the official wives and rich ladies of high-ranking families.
Second, the simple shape of medicinal jade, this kind of medicinal jade is used to make ornaments, and the corresponding target group is the wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who love to collect.
Third, the shape is very representative of medicinal jade, which is used to make gifts.
The corresponding target group is the group that is often sent to or begging for help.
The three major categories, without exception, harvest the wealth of the rich.
Of course, in Xu Yi's mouth, these three categories correspond to three different sales methods.
Take the small and delicate shape of the medicinal jade as an example.
In the first step, this kind of medicinal jade is supplemented with exquisite 'Western Regions, jewelry, and fragrant wood, a specialty of the Western Regions.
The significance of this move is that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles
and the other is for 'gilding,'
It's not that the local jewelry of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not as good as the jewelry of the Western Regions.
In fact, on the contrary, the local jewelry of the Great Zhou Dynasty far surpasses the jewelry of the Western Regions in terms of shape and meaning.
But unfortunately, foreign monks are good at chanting.
The second step is to find a number of caravans in the Western Regions and dismantle them into the various caravans of the old five families.
This move is to make the jewelry come from the Western Regions, and secondly, to make it easier to control after dismantling.
To put it simply, it doesn't matter which country the people of the Western Regions come from, after all, they are just puppets.
The important thing is that the people of the Western Regions must have a very different face from the people of the Great Zhou.
The bigger the gap, the better.
The third and most important step is the most important step.
For this batch of jewelry, make up a love story in which lovers eventually become married.
Or make up a story that symbolizes auspiciousness, wishfulness, and fulfillment.
In order to give another value to the jewelry.
The more realistic and moving the story, the higher the price will be.
After these three steps, the medicinal jade jewelry that was originally worth 100 taels may be sold for 4 or 500 taels, or even higher.
Female businessmen, female businessmen, no female businessmen.
As Xu Yi slowly taught, Chai Baoyi and Yang Xian'an couldn't help but have a new understanding of the word 'female businessman'.
At the same time, Chai Baoyi and Yang Xian'an's admiration for Xu Yi became stronger and stronger.
Before Xu Yi taught, the two never thought that the business could still do this.
When the sky is getting darker.
Xu Yi paused and glanced at the dim sky outside the window.
Then he chuckled and said, "That's all for today, you two will digest it first in the next few days."
Today's teaching alone is enough for the two of them to digest for several days.
The truth that you can't chew more is naturally understood by Chai Baoyi and Yang Xian'an.
But for some reason, when I heard Xu Yi's words at the end of today's teaching.
The two of them couldn't help but feel regret and unfinished in their hearts.
Chai Baoyi and Yang Xian calmed down, and then arched their hands and said in unison, "Obey!"
......
......
Night.
In the study room in the small courtyard next to the workshop.
Xu Yi leaned back in the Taishi's chair.
Hands leisurely play with the world's first pure and immaculate glass bottle.
While playing, I kept thinking about how to make another artifact in my mind.
For Xu Yi, glass can not only be a tool for him to make money.
It can also become a magic weapon for him to anticipate the enemy first.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Xu Yi slowly put down the glass bottle in his hand.
Get up and grind the ink and lay the paper.
Then he sat down and picked up a wolf pen.
On the white rice paper, the memories of the telescope making process in the documentary of the past life are slowly written.
A moment later.
Xu Yi paused the wolf pen in his hand and stared at the rice paper full of himself.
At the same time, it is constantly checked and filled in in the mind.
When he was sure that the writing was correct.
Xu Yi picked up the pen again and slowly wrote on another piece of white rice paper.
A moment later.
Xu Yi paused the wolf pen in his hand and looked at the second piece of rice paper again.
After making sure that all modern words are replaced.
Xu Yi slowly got up and picked up a fire fold from the bookcase.
After a light blow, the first piece of rice paper was completely reduced to ashes.
When all is said and done.
Xu Yi slowly got up and walked to the windowsill, gently pushed open the windowsill, and let the cool air of the night in.
Outside the windowsill, the starry sky is exceptionally bright tonight.
Iced tea is often mentioned
