Chapter 331: Mutual Win
The other sixteen heads of the family echoed one after another.
Jia Huan glanced at Bai Ziye and smiled slightly.
This head of the Bai family is also cunning and cunning.
On the premise of not harming the interests of the family, I will help each other.
The new law is harming the interests of the gentry, and if they really support the new law, how can they say such things?
This makes it clear that they do not support the new law.
Of course, this is also something to be expected.
has been eating the benefits in his mouth for many years, and now he suddenly says that he will not give them food in the future, and no one will be happy to change it.
Bai Ziye and the other seventeen family heads thought that the next Jia County Commander would attack them and force them to express whether they supported the new law.
And they're ready to respond.
Unexpectedly, the next Jia County Commander didn't say a word about changing the law, but talked about the four-wheeled carriage endlessly.
This is exactly what the seventeen heads of the family want, and for them, it is naturally a good thing not to mention change.
Jia Huan first introduced the performance of the four-wheeled carriage, and then said that the four-wheeled carriage will be sold in three grades in the future.
The first grade was the most luxurious, and the carriage they had just seen today was priced at five hundred taels of silver.
And as long as this kind of carriage comes out, it will inevitably be sought after. As long as it is a family, if there is no four-wheeled carriage, no one will be embarrassed to go out in the future.
For this kind of statement, Bai Ziye and other seventeen family heads deeply agreed. They are all from a family, so they naturally know the people of the family, and the best thing is face.
What others have, they don't, that's a loss of face.
Jia Huan said again that the second-class carriage has no glass windows, and other materials are also a little worse, but the price is cheap, only a hundred taels of silver.
An ordinary carriage costs twenty or thirty taels of silver, and the price of one hundred taels of silver is really not too high.
Next came the four-wheeled carriage for pulling goods, which was four or five times the load of an ordinary carriage, and the price was also one hundred taels of silver.
Jia Huan is also very optimistic about the sales of these three types of carriages.
These seventeen heads of the family are all human spirits.
They gradually figured out the intention of Jia Xianling's gushing talk about the four-wheeled carriage.
This Jia county magistrate, calling them all together, certainly couldn't be just to brag about the four-wheeled carriage.
At this time, the head of the Zhang family couldn't help asking: "Lord Jia, can you take the liberty of asking, I don't know how much this four-wheeled carriage costs?" ”
This question is really quite presumptuous.
The cost of goods can be said to be the core secret of the merchant, how can it be said casually?
But this time the situation was different, Jia Huan was ready to say the cost price to attract these people to take the bait.
Even if the head of the Zhang family doesn't ask, he has to say it himself.
Now his question is just right.
Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "Take the most luxurious four-wheeled carriage as an example, the cost is very high, and the cost is two hundred taels of silver. The cost of an ordinary four-wheeled carriage will also reach the level of forty taels of silver. ”
After Jia Huan finished speaking, a gasping sound suddenly sounded at the scene.
They were all shocked by the cost of the carriage.
The cost price of a luxury four-wheeled carriage is only two hundred taels of silver? Two hundred taels of silver, just buying those two pieces of glass is not enough!
Bai Ziye couldn't help but say, "Lord Jia, this, how is this possible?" Glass is extremely expensive. Two hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid I can't even buy two pieces of car window glass, right? ”
Jia Huan smiled and said, "Actually, the cost of glass is not as expensive as you think. Why is glass in my Great Xia so expensive? ”
"First, because the glass is shipped from overseas, the freight and the loss of the road alone add a lot of costs."
"Besides, because I can't make glass in Daxia, it's rare and expensive, so the price has been raised so high by them."
Hearing this, the head of the Li family couldn't help but ask, "Lord Jia, what do you mean, the carriage workshop of the Zun Mansion can actually make glass?" ”
Jia Huan waved his hand and said, "This official corrects a little, this carriage workshop is not from my house, but opened by a side branch of my Jia family." But it's true that their workshop is capable of producing glass. ”
"It's expensive, but it's nowhere near as expensive as the glass on the market. The cost of two pieces of glass is about one hundred and fifty or sixty taels of silver. ”
Hearing this, everyone at the scene was shocked again.
As heads of households, they are very sensitive to business.
How can they not see the huge market prospects for four-wheeled carriages?
It can be said that as soon as the four-wheeled carriage comes out, it will soon occupy a huge market.
If the price can be lower, maybe the two-wheeled carriage can be eliminated directly.
And the craftsmanship of the four-wheeled carriage is very complicated - they didn't know it in the first place, these are all introduced to them by Jia Huan.
No one else will be able to build a four-wheeled carriage for at least twenty years.
This is a unique business, this business is simply a golden rooster that can lay golden eggs!
The seventeen heads of the family exchanged glances with each other, and they all saw the word greed in each other's eyes.
Jia Huan looked at them with a smile, and when he saw that the heat was almost over, he said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why this official called you all together today is actually to take you to do this business that can make a lot of money."
Hearing this, the seventeen family heads couldn't help but beat a little faster.
They were already coveting the lucrative carriage business.
Such a big piece of fat meat, they salivated, and they all wanted to lie on their stomachs and nibble a few bites.
But behind this business is this Jia County Order, and this Jia County Order is also from a double state prince's mansion!
No matter which identity they are, they don't dare to be presumptuous.
But now, this Jia County Commander is willing to take them to make a fortune together?
Bai Ziye took a deep breath and asked, "Lord Jia, are you really willing to take me and others to make a fortune together?" ”
Jia Huan laughed and said: "The world is bustling, and it is all for profit." The world is crowded, all for profit. You seek wealth, your officials seek merit, and peace is mutually beneficial. ”
"As long as you are willing to pay taxes according to the new law, this official can let all of your seventeen families own shares in the four-wheeled carriage."
"How big the market for four-wheeled carriages is, and how much profit there is, I don't think you owners will be unclear. The dividends you receive each year are much higher than the taxes you pay. ”
"This is a mutually beneficial thing, I wonder what you think?"
Hearing this, the seventeen family heads all showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.
At today's banquet, this Lord Jia is really here to change the law.
It's just that he didn't take tough measures, but adopted a gentle strategy.
I have to say that this Lord Jia's proposal made them can't help but be excited. (End of chapter)
