Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 157
"Well, let's go out of the palace too!" Zhu Houzhao nodded and said with a smile, "Hurry up and get the clothes!"

The palace is very boring recently, because there is nothing going on in the court, Zhu Houzhao is really meaningless to stay in the palace. Now that his first store has opened, Zhu Houzhao naturally wants to take a look.

Naturally, Liu Jin didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly said: "It's been prepared for Your Highness a long time ago!" As he spoke, he quickly ordered someone to bring in the clothes that had been prepared a long time ago.

After changing his clothes, Zhu Houzhao took people out of the palace and went straight to his shop. All of these were set up by Yang Lian, and it was the first time for Zhu Houzhao to come here.However, the name of the store was given by Zhu Houzhao. The name is Qiyizhai. There is a reason for the name, because this will be the place where high-end new products will be sold.

Although the iron stove is not considered a rare treasure, it definitely deserves the word "Qiqi". Zhu Houzhao will type this name when he wants to type it. In the future, when Qiyizhai releases new products, it will gather people who respond and lead the trend.

When Zhu Houzhao came to Qiyizhai, firecrackers were being set off here, obviously to open the door, and there were many people around, but no one went in, because everyone didn't know what it was for, and they were also watching the excitement at the door.There are two large iron stoves at the door, and someone is inserting the chimney. Obviously, this is to make a demonstration at the door.

Soon the fire was ignited, thick smoke billowed in the chimney, and flames rose in the iron stove. Someone quickly filled an iron pot with water and put it on.

"Come here, let me introduce to you. This is a new product of our Qiweizhai. It's called a stove. Put it inside the house to ensure that no matter how cold it is outside, the inside of the house will be warm. Did you see this? This is a chimney. All the soot and carbon poisoning of all people are discharged outside through it, and there is no need to worry about being polluted by soot and carbon poisoning.”

A young man in his 20s stood on the steps and introduced the big iron stove loudly. He talked very excitedly and praised him well. Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction.

"We, Qiyizhai, provide free return and door-to-door installation. In addition to this iron heater, we also have copper ones. When buying a heater, look for Qiweizhai!" The young man laughed and said: "Please enter the store and have a look." !"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin, then said with a smile: "It seems that the sound should be good today, let's go in and have a look!" As he spoke, he walked in first, and Liu Jin and others naturally did not dare to neglect, so naturally they quickly followed go in.

After entering the shop, Ge Dan looked around and found that there were not many heaters in the room, only five kinds, one kind of extra large, similar to that of Qianqing Palace, but far less complicated and delicate than Qianqing Palace, but It's also very delicate.This is a class issue, and what can be done is the same as that of the Qianqing Palace.

In addition to this big one, there are also slightly smaller ones, which are suitable for use in halls and halls, and the smallest ones are suitable for use in small rooms, which are small and exquisite.

Zhu Houzhao inspected and punched, then turned to Liu Jin and asked, "Have your words been delivered? Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

"Return to Your Highness, it has really arrived!" Liu Jin nodded quickly.

Of course Zhu Houzhao was talking about those who came to cheer, and the momentum must be built up. If the first shot fails, how will the business be done in the future?The supporters that Zhu Houzhao is looking for naturally have a reputation. The leader is naturally the Shouning Hou Mansion, and then the other nobles and relatives. Once these people start to support, there will be more people who will support them .

One must know that Shou Ning Hou and other relatives and Xun Gui's mansions are all very popular now, and their power headed by Shou Ning Hou has expanded rapidly.

"Where is the shopkeeper?" A man's voice came from outside at this time, and then he led someone in. After seeing the shopkeeper, he quickly smiled and cupped his hands and said, "The people of the Shouning Hou Mansion, our Lord I really like the heaters in Qiyizhai, so I will order fifty first, and two for the big ones, and all other quantities will be on this.”

As a participant in the early dynasty, Marquis Shou Ning naturally saw the power of the stove, and with Liu Jin's message, he naturally sent someone to make a decision immediately.Are you short of money?Now the Marquis of Shouning can pat his chest and say to people, Lord is rich!So he generously ordered fifty.

Passing the list in his hand to the shopkeeper, the steward of Zhou Ninghou's Mansion ordered: "All of them must be made of copper. This is what our Lord Hou personally ordered. Do you understand?"

Zhu Houzhao almost covered his face. When will this nouveau riche temperament change? You are the uncle of the dynasty and the younger brother of the queen. Zhu Houzhao doesn't know what to say.

Naturally, the shopkeeper would not have Zhu Houzhao's idea, but took the order with a big smile, and then said, "Don't worry, we will arrange for people to deliver the goods immediately, and then immediately arrange for people to come and install them. Let Lord Hou be satisfied!"

The steward of the Hou Mansion nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left under the shocked and envious eyes of a group of people.

You must know that this heater is not cheap. Although it is not to say that it is outrageously expensive, it is not affordable for ordinary people. The Shouning Marquis Mansion ordered [-] of them at once, which is really rich!
As soon as the people from Shouninghou's mansion left, people from Uncle Qingyun's mansion came. Uncle Qingyun was the empress dowager's natal family, and now Uncle Qingyun is the younger brother of the empress dowager.The same foreign relatives as the Shouning Houfu, and the same domineering and domineering, once competed with Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling for land, and the slaves of the two families fought each other.

This time, regarding the matter of the Salt Administration, although Zhang Yanling didn't want to find Uncle Qingyun's mansion, he knew it was impossible, so he still brought in Uncle Qingyun.

The relationship between the two parties has somewhat eased. These people have no morals to talk about, and they can naturally get rid of their previous suspicions if they can make money together.

After Uncle Qing Yun, many people from Xungui and Xunqi came, all of them came to order heaters. This behavior naturally also attracted other people, and the voice of ordering was heard all of a sudden.Zhu Houzhao led people out of Qiyizhai and out of the shop, Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed in a good mood, and his first shop was finally completed.

Zhu Houzhao believes that the name of Qiyizhai will soon spread throughout the capital, and when the heat from the stove has passed, it will be the time of the Chinese New Year, and he will be able to launch the first batch of mirrors.

Yes, what Zhu Houzhao wants to launch is a mirror, not glass. The first product of Qiyizhai must touch people's hearts. It is Zhu Houzhao's purpose to make a good product that touches people's hearts. Of course, what Zhu Houzhao said is a product with a price that touches people's hearts. .The price of the mirror is definitely touching, and it can make people cry. Zhu Houzhao believes that the market will be very good.

Now many businessmen are gathered in the capital, just in time to buy the mirror back and spread it, which is also conducive to Qiyi Zhai's cooperation and opening of branches.

How could Zhu Houzhao miss such a good opportunity, using the mirror as a key product to open up sales channels and sales channels across the country. Once this channel is opened, even if it is only selling ordinary goods, the cost will be lower than others, and the sales will be sure Better than others, the brand effect is amazing.

"Your Highness, shouldn't we go back?" Liu Jin asked Zhu Houzhao, who was wandering blindly along the way and getting excited.

Zhu Houzhao looked up at the sky, nodded, and said: "It's almost time, that's it, let's go back!" Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin back to the palace.

As expected, things did not go beyond Zhu Houzhao’s expectations. Qiyizhai’s heater became very famous in the capital, because two nobles fought for the right to purchase the heater, and they were still in-laws. Zhu Houzhao knew it was a show of loyalty and speculation. Because the money for the heating furnace of the two families was paid by one family, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh, these people really can think of any way, and there is no lower limit.

However, Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with this secretly expressed kindness, so he was rewarded with something.

In addition, the imitation heaters came out very quickly. Although most of them were shoddy, some craftsmen made good profits.I don’t care about these Zhu Houzhao, but some people make the same thing as Qiweizhai, even with the three characters of style and Qiweizhai, and the special logo is imitated, this can’t be tolerated.

So Yang Lian directly used the relationship with Dongchang to ask the government to arrest people and fine them money. Of course, that was all there was to it, and there was no other punishment.

This kind of piracy must be controlled. At the same time, Qiyizhai has also started to promote the issue of warranty. Only the heaters purchased in Qiqizhai enjoy warranty, door-to-door delivery and free installation services.There is only one purpose, and that is to distinguish Qiweizhai from those pirated versions, so as to establish the brand image of Qiweizhai.

The effect of the matter is not bad, the turnover is rising steadily, the scheduled installation is scheduled for the next year, and the Qiqizhai heater is a great success.

Zhu Houzhao is naturally very satisfied with this. When the money comes, he can do more things, such as investing in the construction of his own steel plant.

If the Bingzhan Bureau wants to rise again and earn its own living, then the materials must not be controlled by the Ministry of War. If they don’t give you the materials, what should you do?What can you do if the materials are in someone else's hands?It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so the first step to solve is the material problem, so a steelmaking plant is imminent.

Another reason is that Zhu Houzhao is not satisfied with the quality and quantity of the materials of the Ministry of War. What he wants to build is a high-precision flintlock gun of this era. If the materials of the Ministry of War are too poor, it will not be realized at all.

I have to make steel cannons myself. The copper in Ming Dynasty is too short. Using copper to make cannons keeps the cost high, and the finances are really hard to afford. Steel cannons are the best substitute, which can be mass-produced and can be unified in caliber. The development of after-loading guns is definitely not possible without steelmaking anyway. Zhu Houzhao is very persistent in this, just like the persistence of new China in later generations to steel.

Steel is the backbone of industry, and industry is the backbone of a country. Zhu Houzhao wants to build industry without steelmaking. How can he build ships and go to sea without cannons.
