Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 41 Big business, wine and goblets

How could Zhu Xi let go of this?

He returned to the hotel's Prince Suite.

Surprisingly, Sophia came over with someone.

Accompanying him was Shen Sen.

Sophia said to Zhu Xi: "Dear His Highness the King of Qin, these four are businessmen and family members from my home country. They want to pay homage to you and do some business with you. I hope His Highness the King of Qin will reward you."

"Okay!"

When Zhu Xi heard this, he was very happy.

Byzantine merchant?

How can an ordinary businessman bother with a princess leading the way?

Obviously, the identities of these people must be extraordinary.

Could it be that someone from the royal family is here?
That's a good feeling!

Byzantium inherited Eastern Rome, and the royal wealth was untold.

If he doesn't make this money, Zhu Xiang will feel bad.

He immediately let several people into his room.

Of course, there are guards guarding the door.

Then Shen Sen also came.

Zhu Xi said angrily: "I have already told you that I cannot give you the things you want now!"

"Your Highness, why?"

Shen Sen said anxiously: "Your Highness, do you know those steam engines and looms, if they can be promoted throughout the Ming Dynasty, how much cloth can our Ming Dynasty produce every day? There are also bicycles, even if each one only makes one penny. Silver, that’s a very big profit. Your Highness, aren’t you short of money?”

"I am short of money, but I don't want Ming Dynasty to collapse!"

Zhu Xi said angrily: "Of course I don't know how much cloth the Ming Dynasty could produce every day if the looms and steam engines were made public. But I know that if the steam looms were promoted throughout the Ming Dynasty, the only consequence would be ...So people no longer grow food, and all go to plant mulberry and raise silkworms! By then, there will be tens of millions of people in the world, what will the common people eat?"

One sentence made Shen Sen speechless.

"Shen Sen, do you want this king to become a sinner who harmed Daming?"

Zhu Feng shouted: "Quickly retreat!"

Hearing this, Shen Sen quickly raised his hands to say goodbye.

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang signaled to Sophia, who quickly asked: "Your Highness, steam looms are so harmful, so why is Lingnan okay?"

"Because Lingnan has enough food!"

Zhu Feng said loudly: "Since I arrived in Lingnan, I have cultivated tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land. With the help of Mr. Yuan, the grain output is enough to support the entire Lingnan. But at present, hybrid rice is only available in Lingnan. Here, three crops are harvested a year, which is enough." It has provided for the people's livelihood. But now the Ming Dynasty does not have such food support. If we let go of the loom, I don't know how many fertile fields will turn into mulberry fields."

"Your Highness, where is the bicycle?" Shen Sen asked cautiously.

Unable to buy steam engines and looms, he had to settle for the next best thing.

"We can't sell bicycles at the moment, because Panyu County doesn't have enough supply! If you want to buy them, when Xin'an County builds a large steel plant and bicycle factory in the future, there will be excess that can be sold to you." Zhu Ping waved his hand, Let Shen Sen go.

He also wants to talk about big business!

These words were also recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to admit it, Zhu Ping's words did make sense.

Don't rush into anything!

If it is blindly promoted across the country because of the speed and efficiency of the steam loom, then no one will grow rice in the future. With so many people, what do they eat?Xu Da said to Zhu Yuanzhang in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang, this is the words of seeking the country!"

"En!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Looking at this son again, I feel that it is not so annoying.

On the contrary, he looks pretty.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and said: "It seems that I have not insulted your daughter."

Xu Da was stunned.

Then, he smiled bitterly and said no more.

After a while, Zhu Xi came out with a bottle of wine and several goblets and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, try the wine brewed by this king." Everyone started drinking.

This wine is sweet and mellow.

The alcohol is not very strong either.

Queen Ma drank some and found it very delicious.

Moreover, it is also suitable for women.

Zhu Xi introduced with a smile: "How is it? If it is such a business, I believe people in your country will like it very much, right? In addition, there are glazed cups and glazed bottles, which are as smooth as a mirror, transparent, bright, and of such good quality. The price is also high in Ming Dynasty’s market!”

Indeed it is.

Zhu Yuanzhang was already holding the goblet and couldn't put it down.

This thing is so good!
It not only has the advantages mentioned by Zhu Xi, but the most important thing is that the streamlined shape is also very beautiful.

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously moved, and then gave Sophia a look.

He dared not speak.

Empress Ma and Xu Da's father and daughter were also afraid of being betrayed.

Therefore, I can only pretend that I don’t know Ming Dynasty Mandarin and let Sophia talk to Zhu Fang.

Sophia asked: "How much money does Your Highness plan to sell for such a bottle of wine and a set of glass cups?"

"A bottle of wine is 5 taels, and five glass cups are 10 taels. Isn't that expensive?" Zhu Xi smiled slightly.

This is a batch of finished glass cups that he recently asked the Academy of Sciences to bake, and then cooperated with the Farming Academy to brew wine and bottle it uniformly.

The first shipment, a total of [-] boxes.

A thousand bottles!

Limited worldwide.

I’m afraid I’ll have to wait two months for the next batch of goods.

Westerners will definitely like this kind of thing.

Especially those nobles!
Therefore, Zhu Xi dared to set a price.

The price of such a set is 30 silver.

But in fact, with Zhu Xi's skills, the cost of making glass is horribly low!
But who said that at this time, others did not have this technology?

Technology is wealth!
Can create wealth!
You know, the colored glaze at this time was a high-end product in the Ming Dynasty. Not even the nobles and rich could afford it. 30 silver could buy a bottle of bottled wine and five perfect colored glaze cups. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, You will definitely make a lot of money here!

That's the price...

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe Zhu Xi's offer.

This brat is as smart as a monkey. Can he pay whatever price he offers?
After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang leaned over and whispered to Sophia.

Sophia said: "Your Highness, 15 taels is too expensive for a set. We can accept 8 taels, and we will all trade in cash. If Your Highness is willing, we will send cash over next month."

"make a deal!"

Zhu Xi agreed very readily.

Even though the price was cut in half, Zhu Ping still made a lot of money.

"I can also give you the goods first. After you finish buying this batch, you can come to me to get the goods. However, I sell it to you so cheaply for the sake of the princess. From now on, at least They all get a set of 10 taels of silver!" Zhu Xi agreed.

However, he calmly brought back part of the price.

A set of 10 taels.

What about a thousand sets?
This is hundreds of millions of taels of silver!
Then Zhu Xi thought that he had just opened a bottle...

Pour a cup, that's at least two taels.

How many taels is a bottle of wine?
In other words, in just a short time, everyone drank tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Suddenly, Zhu Xi felt some pain in his body.

……
