Chapter 72 Materials
"Sir, don't worry, we will be obedient, work hard, and repay your great kindness!" Shan Xiaomei was overjoyed, and tears flowed out of her eyes with excitement.
The others were all happy, they were originally unclean people, but they didn't expect Yu Hao to agree to let them work in Haoyue Manor.
That's a great kindness!
It's like giving them a glimmer of light in the darkness, a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.
At this moment, a dart master hurriedly ran in: "Sir, there is news from the manor that Miss Lu is back." ”
"Xiaoxiao is back?" Yu Hao's eyes suddenly lit up and he became excited.
Half a month ago, Yu Hao designed the next products to be launched in Haoyue Manor, and handed over a list of materials to Lu Xiaoxiao.
In order to prevent people with intentions from finding out the raw materials used by Yu Hao, Yu Hao specially asked Lu Xiaoxiao to go to other states and counties to buy them.
I didn't expect Lu Xiaoxiao to come back so soon.
"Old Han, I have to go back to the manor in advance, and I will leave it to you here, find some clothes to put on them first, and send someone to send them back to the manor early tomorrow morning." Yu Hao looked at Han Bing and commanded.
"Subordinates obey orders, sir, the road is not safe, I will send a few brothers to escort you, right?"
"No need, just go back with me, and the rest of you and the brothers of the Zhenguan Army will continue to suppress the bandits." Yu Hao said, already walking out of the warehouse.
Hei Niu patted Han Bing's shoulder, signaling him to rest assured, and hurriedly followed Yu Hao's footsteps.
The two hurried back to Haoyue Manor on war horses, and at this time Lu Xiaoxiao had already let all the goods be unloaded from the carriage, and the courtyard of the entire logistics department was full of goods.
Seeing Yu Hao returning, Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly greeted him: "Young master, all the materials you need have been bought, and this time it cost a total of 40,000 taels of silver." ”
"Forty thousand taels of silver? Miss Lu, what did you buy, so expensive? The black bull's eyes widened suddenly.
His salary is already very high in Daqian, but even if he works for Yu Hao for a lifetime, he won't be able to earn so much money!
Yu Hao couldn't wait, and hurriedly opened a box beside him.
This box is full of jasmine flowers, and as soon as the box is opened, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.
Yu Hao grabbed a handful and looked at it carefully, then put it under his nose and smelled it: "This flower is good, it is much more fragrant than Wudu City, Xiaoxiao has worked hard." ”
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "What did the young master say, Xiaoxiao is the young master's maid, so naturally she has to share her worries for the young master, according to your requirements, young master, this time I bought a total of thirteen kinds of flowers such as jasmine, roses, osmanthus, and lilacs." ”
"Miss Lu, you won't buy these flowers for 40,000 taels of silver, this is too loser!"
Looking at Yu Hao's excited appearance, the black cow suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, and he really couldn't understand what Yu Hao was spending a lot of money on to buy these useless flowers?
Yu Hao kicked on the black bull's buttocks, and said angrily: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute, if these flowers are used well, at least you can earn me back 400,000 taels of silver!" ”
"What? Four hundred thousand? The black bull opened his mouth wide in surprise, how could these flowers be so valuable?
How much is 400,000? Can you fit ten boxes?
Seeing that Hei Niu looked like he had never seen the world, Yu Hao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Have you bought porcelain clay, take me to see it." ”
Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked someone to bring a sack, and cut the sack with a knife, and some gray powder suddenly appeared in front of Yu Hao.
"Young master, this is the porcelain stone I personally bought, and then I brought it back after being ground into powder, and there is absolutely no problem with the quality."
Yu Hao nodded, these porcelain clays are naturally used to fire porcelain.
Most of Daqian's porcelain is brown or gray, but white like this is very rare, I have to say that she really did what Yu Hao explained to Lu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Hao hurriedly called Daddy Wu over and ordered: "Daddy Wu, I will hand over these porcelain clays to you, and fire them according to the method I taught you before, and I will see the first batch of porcelain from our Haoyue Manor on the market within a week!" In addition, the red bricks will continue to be fired, and in addition to being used to build houses in the manor, from tomorrow, half of them will be sent to various stores for sale, and the price will be three dollars per penny. ”
Daqian has green bricks and red bricks, of which red bricks are the cheapest, but only one can be bought for two cents, Yu Hao opened his mouth and pushed the price of red bricks so low, which really frightened everyone present.
It is precisely because the price of bricks in Daqian is not low that ordinary people cannot afford to build brick houses at all, and many people still live in wooden houses and thatched houses.
Now the people around Wudu City are wearing cheap clothes, but Yu Hao is not satisfied, Yu Hao also wants them to live in cheap houses.
Under Yu Hao's supervision, the logistics department has dug ten brick kilns in the back mountain, and at least hundreds of thousands of bricks are baked every day, and Haoyue Manor is simply not used up.
In addition, the red clay used to burn the bricks is mined from the mountains, so there is basically no cost, and what Yu Hao wants to produce is just some labor costs.
What's more, bricks can't make much money in the first place, Yu Hao just needs to ensure that the bricks don't lose money.
At the price of three yuan per penny, ordinary people can build a brick house in two or three years as long as they save one province.
Although it is not profitable, as long as it can make people live in cheap houses, it is all worth it.
"The lord cares about the people so much, he is really a great good man who is rare in a century!" Father Wu naturally understood Yu Hao's thoughts, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the old man will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord!" ”
Yu Hao nodded, Yu Hao saw the hard work of the logistics department in recent days, in addition to being responsible for the daily chores in the manor, they also had to burn bricks and build houses with bricks.
The logistics department is even harder than other departments, and now the heavy responsibility of firing porcelain has also been handed over to them, and Yu Hao is also considering whether to improve their treatment.
"By the way, Black Bull, I asked you to send someone to the city to buy wine, did you buy it?" Yu Hao suddenly remembered something and looked at the black bull.
"How could I forget what the lord explained, I sent someone to buy it early in the morning, and I bought a total of five hundred jars, one jar of ten catties, and spent fifteen thousand taels of silver, and I have already reported the account to the owner of Li Zhuang." Black Bull hurriedly said.
Due to the shortage of grain in Daqian, most of the wine is made from grain, and the imperial court ordered that private individuals strictly prohibit winemaking.
The wine on the market is basically made by official workshops, and the annual output is very small, so the price of Daqian wine is as high as three taels of silver a catty, and ordinary people want to drink a sip is a luxury.
Hei Niu bought so much wine that he didn't dare to take a sip of it, and he was already hungry at this time.
"Sir, do you want to treat your brothers after you buy so much wine?"
Yu Hao glanced at the black bull and said angrily: "Look at your unproductive appearance, these wines are used to make money, but if you behave well, I can consider letting you go and drink it once." ”
