Wentang

Chapter 267

"Hey, have you heard? There is a colored glaze restaurant in the east of the city, which specializes in selling colored glaze." A customer in a roadside restaurant said to another customer.

"What is glass?"

"..."

……

"Hey, have you heard? There is a glazed restaurant in the east of the city." Passerby A said to Passerby B.

"Impossible. Liuli is a rare treasure. It's hard to find a piece. How can we open a Liuli Pavilion?" Passer-by B obviously didn't believe it.

"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. There are really all kinds of glazed products inside." Passerby A said anxiously.

……

"I heard that there is a glazed hall opened in Dongshi? It's full of exquisite glazed objects, is it true?"

"Have you heard about it too? I just heard about it, and I'm going to see if it's true or not."

……

"Brother Li, why are you still listening to ditties here, go to Dongshi Liuli Hall to see Liuli."

"Look at Liuli? Wait for me, wait for me, let's go together."

……

"Liuli? What's there to see in that thing, anyway, even if I sell everything I can't afford a bead, what's there to see."

"How do you know there are colored glaze beads in it? Did you sneak a look?"

……

West Market, the residence of Hu merchants.

"Seymore, it's true that I've gone to the Liuli Pavilion. It's filled with all kinds of exquisite glazed products..."

"Is it really that beautiful?"

"Really, it is a thousand times more beautiful than porcelain... No, it is ten thousand times. As long as we can send one back and sell it to those nobles, we will send it."

……

"Magsud, we must buy a piece of colored glaze back and dedicate it to the king. Your noble status will definitely be restored."

"That's exactly what I mean. Have you asked them how much a glass is? Can we afford it?"

"I asked, and they said that it will be auctioned, and whoever pays the most will give it to him."

"Auction? When will it start?"

"Fifteen days later in the Liuli Pavilion..."

"Then what are you waiting for, raise money quickly."

……

A wealthy family in Chang'an.

"Sanggong, I went to see it, and it is indeed Liuli."

"Twenty glazed things, what a big deal. Have you found out who is behind it?"

"I checked, all the clues point to the palace."

"In the palace? So that's the case, I'll just say it."

……

"Dalang, this glazed pavilion is most likely related to the palace."

"In the palace? No, where are there so many glazed treasures in the palace?"

"This... I don't know, do I need to look it up?"

"Stupid, dare to check the news in the palace, do you want to kill me?"

……

"Liu Gong, I heard that you like to collect treasures the most. Are you tempted by the rare treasures in the Liuli Pavilion this time?"

"Hehe...Zhu Hou was joking, how can I afford it in a small family, just go and have a look."

……

A new colored glaze restaurant was opened in Dongshi City, specializing in colored glaze business. The news quickly spread throughout the capital, and quickly spread to the surrounding Taoist prefectures.For a moment, the eyes of the entire Chang'an City were focused on this place.

Whether you have the ability to buy it or not, let's talk about eye addiction first.

And those who have the strength and the idea to buy it, after confirming that Liuli is real, immediately started raising money to grab one back in fifteen days.

This is Liuli, a rare treasure, if you don't buy one, you will be sorry for the little money in the treasury.

What these people didn't know was that in a corner of Chang'an City, a couple was looking at them like leeks.

"Guanyin maidservant, how is the situation?"

"Everything is planned in advance, and now the rich people in the entire Chang'an City have been mobilized." Changsun Wugou showed a rare complacent expression.

"That's good. It's up to the Liuli industry to grow as big as it is. We must not be careless." Li Shimin said.

"I don't have to worry here. The people I use this time are all the elites who sold the fragrant dew back then. They have rich experience and won't cause any problems." Changsun Wugou said:

"On your side, second brother, the method of making colored glaze must be kept secret so that no one can find out."

Even the second elder brother, which has long been out of use, has been called out again, which shows how excited she is.

"Don't worry, the glazed workshop is in a cave deep in the mountains. There are heavy soldiers guarding it so not even a fly can fly in. There will be no problems." Li Shimin said, "What I'm worried about now is that the starting price for a glazed cup will be hundreds of dollars." Can you sell it?"

"Second brother, don't worry, think about Xianglu, such a few drops can sell ten or twenty guan, and the supply is in short supply. Liuli is a rare treasure, and a hundred guan is still cheap." Changsun Wugou said confidently.

"That would be great." Li Shimin nodded.

However, people are always dissatisfied. Just worried about whether they could be sold, he said: "You said that we only sell ten pieces, isn't that too little? Even if each piece can be sold for one hundred guan, it is only one thousand .”

"Ha... this time I'm just exploring the road, and only the rich people in Chang'an City are here to buy. If you put too much, the price will be lowered. As the saying goes, rare things are expensive, and only ten pieces can be sold to raise the price. First If the price is high this time, you will be able to sell at a good price later." Changsun Wugou laughed and said:

"And when the fame spreads, the rich people from all over the world will gather in Chang'an to buy. They will increase their shipments. Let alone ten pieces, even one hundred pieces will not worry about selling."

"Don't talk about the shortfall of the national treasury at that time, even if you want to build the Yellow River ten times, it doesn't matter."

"Hey, I understand what you're saying, but my heart is always unstable." Li Shimin sighed.

"I understand, the burden of family and country is on you, it's too hard." Changsun Wugou said with pity.

"Haha... With Guanyin's maidservant here, this hard work is nothing." Li Shimin said: "By the way, count the time and your Tiankui should leave today."

"..."

Yue Shan also heard about the Liuli Pavilion, so he naturally knew what was going on.It's just that Li Shimin didn't expect to produce mature glass products so quickly, he thought it would take a while.

It can only be said that money can turn ghosts, and Li Shimin also used all his strength to make up for the shortfall in the national treasury.

Then look at those rich people who seem to have been injected with chicken blood, how they look like walking leeks.I hope that the glass firing process will be exposed a few years later, otherwise these people will die with regret.

But Yue Shan didn't sympathize with them.Money is for spending, where it is spent is not spent, and contributing to the treasury can be regarded as adding bricks and tiles to the prosperity of Datang.

The country and the people will remember their contribution... that is impossible.Later generations will only laugh at them as fools who went bankrupt to buy a pile of burnt sand.

At this time, it is almost the end of May and the beginning of June, which is the season of summer harvest.As the only big family in Sixingping, the Yue family is obliged to urge everyone to carry out the summer harvest.

This is benevolent government, accumulating virtue for oneself.

Do as the Romans do, and Yueshan is no exception.He also took a few days to go around the village to cheer up every household. This simple action has gained dozens of times the word of mouth.

Later generations of northern summer grain mainly grow wheat, and many people think that this has been the case since ancient times.In fact, this is not the case. Planting wheat has only been done in recent decades. In the previous dynasties, there was a variety of millet in the north, that is, yellow rice, and the planting area far exceeded that of wheat.

After corn was introduced to China, it was changed to planting corn.

The reason is simple. At that time, the yield of wheat was too low, and it was far less cost-effective than planting millet, millet, and bean.

Sixingping is planted with millet in spring and bean in autumn.Only Yueshan's family grows winter wheat. For a big family, the taste is naturally the pursuit.

After all, the taste of wheat flour is one of the best among all grains, and only rice can match it.

This day, Yue Shan just came back from his own land, when he saw a person shouting at him from a distance: "The principal is not good, it's not good, there's a fight."
