The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 25 Asking the Emperor to Spoke
Yanxi July 20, CD.

The CD deep in the bottom of the Sichuan Basin, its summer is very difficult.It’s different from Jiangzhou (Chongqing) where eggs can be baked under the sun under the sun, but you can feel cool as long as you hide in the shade of a tree. The temperature in CD is not too high in summer, but what makes people very uncomfortable is the dampness and heat: the whole body is sticky, and there is a thin layer of sweat, but it is not smooth.And this kind of sultry heat is all-round, and you can't escape it no matter where you hide.

In the Shuhan Palace, Liu Chan, who is 50 years old this year, is shirtless, eating iced melons sent by the chef.Huang Hao at the side was fanning him.

"Hey, isn't Shang Shuling's health well yet?"

"Your Majesty, why are you asking this again? The old slave just told you. The imperial doctor visited Shang Shuling's mansion yesterday and said that his condition is getting worse. The old slave still adheres to your will and continues to go to the hospital every day. The ice store took two huge pieces of ice and sent them to Shang Shuling's family to cool off."

"Hey, the country's affairs are difficult, and I need a minister to share my worries. Well, have you read the secret document submitted by Li Mi? What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the heavens bless you. How dare the puppet Wei come to attack my big man? These ministers are always worrying about it."

"So you, an ignorant guy, can't share my worries like Shang Shuling. Guan Zifeng's analysis is very reasonable. The Sima family has almost controlled the false Wei Chaotang now. If you want to usurp, you should indeed Consider getting military merit."

"This old servant only knows how to serve His Majesty, so why go to learn those scriptures? But Your Majesty, I am a big man who is in great danger. In the past, Cao Zhen, Cao Shuang and other bandit chieftains invaded the country, didn't they all return home without a feather?"

"That's true." After Liu Chan said this, he was about to stand up, but he staggered and couldn't stand still. The whole person threw himself on the table, and the glass of iced sweet fruit that had already begun to melt was also thrown all over the table. On the table.

"Your Majesty, be careful, Your Majesty is all right."

"It's okay, huh? What's the paint on this table? Why is it so smooth? Isn't this paint? The water stains won't soak in at all?"

"Your Majesty, this is the new paint that Guan Zifeng sent you just now. It's called 'new paint'. The old slave asked someone to try it. The new paint dries quickly and is very smooth after drying. And the waterproof effect is excellent. It is said that it is a new product produced by Guan Zifeng after he arrived in Fuling County."

Generally speaking, when travelers return to ancient Chinese society, they like to collude with eunuchs and become the so-called "eunuchs".There are no other reasons: eunuchs are more direct - our family likes money, and they have more professional ethics - do things with money.Compared with the hypocrisy of scholar-bureaucrats, this kind of villainous style will indeed make travelers have a natural sense of intimacy.

So after Mi Zhao became a shareholder of Fuxingshe, Guan Yi asked Mi Zhao to find connections and hook up with Huang Hao.A lot of bear paws, bear gallbladder, tiger bones, etc. were given away, and a relatively complete tiger skin was also given away.Of course, there is a whole bucket of tung oil.

After Mi Zhao became a shareholder of the Fuxing Society, he completely regarded the affairs of the Fuxing Society as his own business. In his opinion, tung trees are everywhere in the south. It won't be long before other businesses in Han and Wu countries with a keen sense of smell will discover the secret of the tung tree.So I gave tung oil a new name: Xinqi - this is the way of thinking to mislead other businesses.

According to the agreement between Guan Yi and Mi Zhao, the Mi family shop purchased tung oil from Fuxingshe at a price of 500 yuan per bucket.The price in Dahan is set at [-] yuan a bucket, the price in Jingzhou area of ​​Soochow is [-] yuan, and the price in Yangzhou area is [-] yuan.As for Cao Wei, I'm sorry, the landing price in North Jingzhou is [-] yuan.

Calculated in this way, after deducting production costs such as labor, mechanical wear, freight, commercial taxes and other miscellaneous expenses.Guan Yi's net profit per bucket is about 300 yuan.The net profit of Mi's shop ranges from 300 to 1500 renminbi.In other words, even according to the current output of Guan Yi's humble handicraft workshop, the tung oil alone can provide Guan Yi with a monthly net profit of 3 yuan.

But Guan Yi also knew that this was still an ideal value.The profit will definitely reach this level when the new paint is just on the market.However, with the saturation of the rich and powerful market, new paint is bound to reduce the price in order to open up the huge market of ordinary people.At that time, it was small profits but quick turnover.

In order to quickly open up business channels, let the world accept this new product.The traverser naturally thought of letting the emperor be his spokesperson.So through Huang Hao, a batch of new furniture was sent to the palace.

"Well, Guan Zifeng is not bad. He went to such a poor place as Fuling County and knew how to make money. As for that idiot Pang Hong, Jinghou (Pang Tong) didn't learn his skills in one CD, but his bad temper did. A full ten."

"That's not it, by the way, Your Majesty, Guan Zifeng also asked the old slave to give His Majesty a tiger skin. Guan Zifeng said that this tiger was hunted at the turn of spring and summer, and the fur is not very good. Wait until you get it." In the winter, I will present the best tiger skins to His Majesty."

"This kid has a heart. Hey, this kid is really good. Some time ago, Zhongxing (Zhang Shao) was still telling me that Zhang Zun from his family had written a letter, and the letter was full of remorse. He regretted that he had surpassed Meng Lang in the past. Can study hard and practice martial arts... Hey, the late emperor once told me that the families of Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Sun, Jian, and Mi followed him for nearly 30 years and never left him, so our Liu family must Be nice to them. I have followed the last emperor's will all these years, and have been kind to the descendants of Yuan Cong from all families. It is a pity that after a long time of comfort, one generation is not as good as the next generation. Fortunately, this Guan Zifeng is a capable person. If I can lead this group of dandies to the right path, I will have someone to succeed me."

"Your Majesty is benevolent, that is the blessing of all the courtiers. Uh... Guan Zifeng also asked the old slave to ask His Majesty for a treasure."

"Hey~~~ I wonder why you old man is so calm. So you are waiting for me here. I can warn you, these yuan have been abolished by future generations for 30 to [-] years, and now you are finally willing to do things. Those who do things must be protected. You should not go too far when you ask someone to take advantage of you."

"The old slave didn't dare, hehe, so he took some leather goods or something. He didn't confiscate any money."

"Forget it, you old bastard, I don't know yet. If you don't take money, you won't do anything. But I will tell you again, don't push this group of dudes too much. Otherwise, this group of yuan will go crazy and rush Even if I enter the palace and kill you, I can't do anything to them. Do you understand?"

"The old slave remembered it."

"Tell me, what do these dudes want me to do?"

"Guan Zifeng wants His Majesty to name and inscribe their new lacquer."

"this one?"

"this one."

"Good. Go, I will serve you with pen and ink."

In fact, through Mi Zhao's privilege of directly entering the palace to discuss business with the emperor, Guan Yi reported the composition of the Fuxing Society and the composition of the equity to Liu Chan.He knew very well in his heart how great a stir it would cause in this farming society when the follow-up products of Fuxing Society came out continuously.At that time, not to mention the Yizhou pie and Dongzhou pie, even the Jingzhou pie will have people who are tempted by this super big cake.

Although the regime of Shuhan has existed for less than seven years, at least in the past few years, before Fuxingshe has grown into a giant, Guan Yi still needs this emperor who has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to escort her.

After all, this era is completely different from the era of the Yellow Turban Uprising and the separatist regime.The three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu have been established for decades, and the entire management system of the country has basically been established.If I want to make such a big commotion in Fuling County in the future, I can't satisfy everyone.That being the case, it is better to show a frank look to the emperor from the beginning.

Langhao sucked up enough ink, and Liu Chan picked up a pen and wrote three large characters on the silk paper: Yanxi lacquer.
