Desk calendars, which are much smaller than wall calendars, have been produced for a long time, but they have never been on the market.
A certain prince likes to sell these two things together, so that they can help each other.
The desk calendar is a pocket version of the wall calendar, with the large advertisements removed and the layout made smaller.
Maybe ordinary people don't need to use it at home, but it seems very convenient to put it on their desk.
The sales scope is government offices and commercial offices. It is also a good choice to give as small gifts.
If you buy a low-priced wall calendar, you won’t get a gift, if you buy a mid-priced wall calendar, you’ll get a pencil, and if you buy a high-priced wall calendar, you’ll get a desk calendar.
This makes it easy to open classes to meet the needs of various customers.
The pile of sulfur brought by Zheng Zhiwan from the North also had very important uses. In addition to making gunpowder, it could also be used to make sulfur soap.
This stuff must not be wasted. All the parts that cannot be used by the gunpowder factory will be made into sulfur soap and sold for money.
After adding sulfur, soap is given a new effect.
During bathing, sulfur soap produces hydrogen sulfide and pentasulfonic acid, which can kill insects and inhibit bacteria.
This is the same as being nourished by sulfur in a natural hot spring, but ordinary people don't have the conditions to soak in a hot spring.
Sulfur soap is more practical, and the price is not high. If you can afford soap, you can afford sulfur soap.
In order to benefit the people, a certain prince deliberately priced the sulfur soap at only 30% higher than the price of soap.
Just like Vaseline, it is judged by kilograms when it is collected, and it is judged by liang when it is sold!
There is a reason why it is expensive. Compared with the most common soap, sulfur soap has health care effects. The premium price is purely for the health care of the people!
Otherwise, the "Northland", especially the Kamchatka Peninsula, would be nothing but piles of sulfur if there were furs and seafood!
The seafood cannot be transported, so only the fur and sulfur are left. If the sulfur is not used, it is equivalent to a cold zone garbage dump.
This is a specialty of Chongguo, and it will also be one of the main economic pillars in the future, and it will be the number one economic pillar.
In order to help Prince Chong Zhu Youfan, who was very cooperative with the work of moving the feudal vassal, a certain prince had to make the best use of everything.
Ryukyu also produces sulfur, but it was controlled by the Satsuma Domain of Japan thirty years ago.
At present, the Japanese country still has great use value, and we cannot fall out with it for the sake of Ryukyu for the time being.
Since Kamchatka also produces sulfur, even though it is far away, it is still within the range of shipping.
That would allow Chongguo to supply goods for a long time, which would be a kind of support for overseas vassals.
Otherwise, what would we do if there was so much sulfur piled together? ? ?
It's fine if it's exposed to wind and sun. Once it starts raining in spring, it will be useless if it pollutes the groundwater.
In the future, the scale of Zheng's fleet heading to the "Northland" will become larger and larger, so it is necessary to find a reliable use for the massive amounts of sulfur transported.
In addition to sulfur soap, sulfur can also be used to make rubber, matches, pesticides, dyes, and more.
At present, rubber and sulfur soap are the main uses, and many pharmacies have also purchased some sulfur to relieve diarrhea for patients with diarrhea.
Matches have to wait a while to ensure that "safe matches" are made before they can be put on the market, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"Your Highness! Good news! Good news! Sold out! Sold out!"
"..."
A certain prince hated people who didn't talk about the important points. If it weren't for the fact that Yang Jinchao was a loyal and good dog, he would have saved one person...and one dog's dinner today.
"Your Highness! Glass! Large pieces of glass are sold out! There are so many buyers that the department stores are overwhelmed!"
"oh???"
This was beyond the expectations of a certain prince. How could a group of wealthy people think of buying glass in this winter?
Unbelievable?
The current cost of glass is not low, and the price is naturally not within the acceptable range of ordinary people. It can only be purchased by local tycoons.
"Your Highness, I have just learned that the wealthy gentry in the city want to take advantage of the weather before it gets too cold and replace the paper windows in their residences with glass windows, so that light can be reflected into the house without opening the windows in winter! There are still people here I built a vegetable greenhouse in my yard and used glass as a skylight.”
"……I see!"
These people who are not short of money really know how to enjoy it. They finally know the purpose of glass!
Glass has been on display in Qianqi Department Store for a long time, but except for glass balls, sales have been relatively bleak.
Rich people are worried that this thing is fragile and feel that this kind of "transparent silver" can only be used for a short time.
Due to psychological effects, no one is willing to pay for it.
It wasn't until after visiting a certain prince's vegetable greenhouse that a group of people finally got the idea.
On the west side of Taiye Pond, a certain prince sent people to build a vegetable greenhouse.
On the one hand, it is to supply Ouchi with vegetables in winter, and on the other hand, it is also to provide extra meals for the wounded soldiers, so as not to eat cabbage, potatoes, and radishes every meal.
The vegetables in the vegetable greenhouse receive light through the glass windows. If there were no glass windows, I would probably not even be able to see the vegetable leaves...
In order to ensure the temperature in the shed, a certain prince also sent people to make many stoves. Anyway, there was plenty of coal. He invested in the Kailuan Coal Mine himself, and the briquettes were freely available and very cheap.
If the temperature still cannot rise, get some hot pots next year, that is, plant vegetables on top of the hot pots. This way, there will be enough light and a suitable temperature, and you can still have a good harvest even in the cold winter.
The cost seems to be a bit high, but the land is yours, and the people who build the house are your own slaves. The money for the glass can be passed back through sales, not to mention the coal.
In general, it didn't cost a few bucks at all, but the effect was very significant. At least it served as a demonstration and a leader, and could call on the court officials and wealthy gentry to be self-sufficient.
Otherwise, these rich people all have huge yards. In winter, they have nothing but dead trees and branches, and they still want to eat green leafy vegetables. How can they come to the yard to steal vegetables? ? ?
Feng Quan was very smart. After seeing the prince's vegetable greenhouse, he immediately built one in his yard. Now the family no longer had to worry about vegetables for the winter.
In addition to cellars, it is impossible for even the second-rank officials of the imperial court or even the royal family to eat some green leafy vegetables in winter.
A certain prince wouldn't let them take another bite. They could eat if they wanted to. They could either put forward constructive suggestions or show some achievements or merits. That would be enough.
Like those rich merchants in the city, even if they donate thousands of taels of silver, they may not be able to taste the royal meal. The reason is that the competition among peers is too fierce.
In terms of flattery, their technical level was not as good as that of the noobs in the court. In the end, out of helplessness, they had to rely on their own efforts. Fortunately, they were all wealthy owners, but they were willing to spend money to build a greenhouse.
Fortunately, it was not December yet, so the ground had not frozen hard yet. When it was thirty-nine days, the servants were having a hard time digging the ground with pickaxes.
As a result, the glass in the store was sold out and a large number of orders were received.
Since time waits for no one, the main reason is that the temperature will gradually drop.
Even if you have renovated the greenhouse and planted vegetables by then, you still have to wait until spring if you want to eat them.
This is the time difference, or to put it more clearly, it is the difference in awareness!
What did you do early?
Do you agree now?
late!
Being smart doesn't mean you can take advantage of everything. This can only be achieved by hugging a certain prince's chicken thighs tightly.
Like Xue Guoguan, the first assistant, when he heard that construction of Feng Quan's backyard had begun, he realized that he was lagging behind.
Even if Xuan ordered a large-scale construction project, even if it was not for growing vegetables, he would do it just to flatter his prospective son-in-law!
As for the other courtiers, I'm sorry, most of them don't have this vision, and they are all patting their thighs with regret at this moment!
At that time, selling glass was quite expensive for Feng Quan and Xue Guoguan, and they were heartbroken. Fortunately, the imperial court raised the wages of officials, otherwise they would not be able to build vegetable greenhouses.
But now, seeing that the truth is about to come out, the two of them feel more comfortable than watching a hundred flowers bloom. It is expected that after New Year's Day, they will be able to eat fresh vegetables grown at home.
Due to the high price of glass windows, the cost of building a vegetable greenhouse may be higher than that of a house for habitation.
But just looking at those guys who regretted it too late, it was completely worth it.
These two don't just want to show off their wealth, they just want to show off their good mood!
In the rear residence, the East Palace, Kunning Palace and other main residences have all been replaced with glass windows. Although not all, they have definitely followed this fashionable trend.
The beautiful biological mother was very worried at first. After all, the glass is transparent and Kunning Palace is her residence. It would be too embarrassing for outsiders to see the situation inside the house.
However, under the persuasion of a certain prince, this beautiful woman agreed. The reason was simply to install curtains to block out the light, so that it could be opened on cloudy and rainy days.
Especially in winter, if you use a window, opening it is equivalent to pouring cold air directly into the house. Glass windows are tens of thousands of times better than paper windows and do not allow ventilation.
Nowadays, the beautiful mother has long accepted the glass windows. Looking at the room with paper windows, she feels outdated and outdated. You can enjoy the sunshine by leaning against the glass window.
It cost a lot of money to replace the glass windows in the first place, but because the fish didn't take the bait, the investment payback period was a bit long, and now it is considered a return on investment.
Of course, the money to replace the glass windows in the rear residence was paid by the person who bought the glass. A certain prince had no intention of spending his own money on it. It was considered an advance payment!
It doesn't cost anything to ask the Tokugawa general to send troops, so why spend money to replace the glass windows?
My Ming Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. Do I still need a few pieces of glass? ? ?
"By the way, where are the bicycles? How many have been sold?"
"Back to Your Highness, the bicycle industry has received orders for 1,800 units!"
"Yeah! Not bad!"
Since the cost is more expensive than glass, and the quality is not very good, if the manufacturer does not take responsibility for the warranty, it will be dead within a month.
Bicycles are still luxury goods this time, far from being a means of transportation and can only be used as toys for the rich.
However, the price of novelty things is always very high. Even though the price is one hundred taels of silver, it cannot stop the wealthy people from buying them.
This is comparable to the price of a war horse. Fortunately, the people who buy this thing are not short of money.
Even if you don't ride it, just putting it in your living room is a kind of show off.
Since a certain prince took over the country, some people have enshrined newspapers in their halls, and some have enshrined a statue of a certain prince.
It won't be long before someone supplies the bicycle. After all, it is something imitated from the fairy world.
The buyer must think that this item has fairy spirit, and if it is offered, the whole family will be blessed!
Riding a bicycle requires immortal energy, so it should be a very reasonable explanation for the bicycle to be full of immortal energy...
The fundamental reason for the hot sales of the products is this great success with braids.
The vast majority of people, whether merchants or common people, felt that Huang Taiji would never lead his army south to besiege the city again in his lifetime.
There will be a good life in the future, so there is no need to save money and be ready to run away at any time, and you can enjoy a good life in a big way.
More than 30,000 Tatars were killed at one time. According to the usual rules of war, one was killed and three were injured. The number of Tatars injured alone would reach 100,000!
Based on this calculation, it means that Huang Taiji's army has been severely damaged, and I am afraid that it will gradually decline in the future.
How can we enter the pass and plunder, or even besiege the capital? ? ?
As soon as the prince exerted his magical power, the dog Tatar died and his corpses were scattered all over the field.
If the dog Tatars are stubborn and continue to go south, I am afraid they will destroy themselves!
This is not a rumor. The body of Dog Tartar is placed on the west bank of the Cao River, as well as in locations other than the north and west sides of the inner city.
With certification and photos, there is no way it can be faked, and some people are willing to pay to see this feat.
One tael of silver is enough to make a round trip. Considering the current income, this ticket is definitely not low.
But even a certain prince didn't expect that he had already received tens of thousands of taels of silver!
What kind of hobby is a group of people willing to pay to see pigtailed corpses? ? ?
Indescribably strong taste...
In other words, I hate it so much!
Since you can't eat meat after Lingchi, it's worth it to satisfy your eyes.
In order to squeeze out the remaining value of these corpses, with the tacit approval of a certain prince, they also staged photos with dog Tatars as the background!
A photo costs five taels of silver, which is an unprecedented discount!
So much so that there was a long queue of people waiting to pose for photos. They were not martial artists and had no ability to kill enemies, but they were very good at posing for photos.
Some sat on the dogs, some trampled the dogs under their feet, and some slashed with swords.
Due to the presence of the poser, the location where the photo was taken was just like the filming location of a certain crew...
The proceeds from taking photos and visiting will be used to provide relief to the families of wounded and fallen soldiers and able-bodied men. No one dares to object to this purpose.
What makes a certain prince feel regretful is that film has not yet been successfully developed. Otherwise, with image recording, it would be easier for future generations to remember.
However, there should be more than half of Huang Taiji's army left, and there are plenty of opportunities. At worst, the braids will be used as the background again!
You have to seize the opportunity next time, at least wait until the film is developed, and then let the pigtails die.
Otherwise, the braids will be in vain...
A certain prince also hopes to make some pocket money through movies!
Although extra actors can be used to pretend to be braids in the future, the cost of large-scale war scenes is quite high.
It's better to do a photo shoot, because at least the investment cost is almost zero, which has always been the bulk of the cost of a movie.
Without the help of special effects, it would be better to use tens of thousands of real braids, and then even extra money will be saved!
Perfect!
Would Huang Taiji be so angry that he would vomit blood if he knew that a certain prince was doing this and that with his bitch?
If this is the case, a certain prince's goal will be achieved.
If you are so angry, the Qing Dynasty can enter the era of Ergon Tangyuan ahead of schedule!
Once Dorgon is killed, there will be no rival for a certain prince in the world.
Blame the father? ? ?
His ability is not much better than NPC, he belongs to the kind of quasi-group actor with extremely high status and extremely low IQ!
Huangtaiji should die within four years!
If it can't hang, it must be a butterfly effect problem.
It has nothing to do with a certain prince!
If Huang Taiji lives for four more years, one of them will have to tighten their belts for a long time in the future!
Fortunately, we have a vegetable greenhouse, so we don’t need to tighten our belts in winter.
There is mutton, vermicelli, and spinach. Make a mutton vermicelli and spinach soup, add some clam meat, and eat it in winter. Wouldn’t it be a great supplement? ? ?
I guess I can’t eat the spinach of the Royal Chicken, so I’ll eat the cooked lamb dipped in salt!
They are both great supplements, and the taste should be similar!
This is a matter of fact situation, no kidding.
Right now Huangtaiji and his army should be crossing the mountains and drinking in the northwest wind!
