Tian Meng personally arranged this matter. The real strength of Yuelai Trading Company is the terrifying cohesion, not the name at all. Even if Yuelai Trading Company is gone, these people can stick together tightly. This is The most powerful.
Likewise, their execution ability is naturally beyond doubt.
There are some things that Li Ke hasn't told Tian Meng yet. This is only the first year. After a perfect cooperative relationship is established in the first year, in the second year, all the small aristocratic families can join the local trading houses and provide They share the dividends directly!
Once they all become members of the trading house, it means that they also stand with Li Ke. This move is called cooperative!
"By the way, Tian Meng, when negotiating with these small aristocratic families, they will definitely not be able to trust us casually. They will stamp my seal on the letter and send a copy to each place quickly." Li Ke waved his hand again and said. .
He doesn't care about his reputation. With such a useful status as a prince, why not use it.
Business firms in this era want to cooperate with others, and others also want to see your quality. If there is no background behind a business firm, then just wait to be eaten by others, so Li Ke naturally represents his identity with his own seal.
Cooperating with the prince to make money, is there anything more suitable than this? !
You must know that these small aristocratic families have no chance to join any big shot. Li Ke is taking the initiative to give them a chance!
"Yes!" Tian Meng nodded immediately.
"Besides, you are focusing on the production of the glass workshop, and has the tea-frying technique been updated?" Li Ke asked again.
"The tea fryers have been retrained and will be proficient in a day or two. By then we will be able to operate a large amount of tea leaves."
"Well, the books I gave you also contain methods for making white tea, black tea, etc. Prepare these methods as well!" Li Ke nodded with satisfaction. Fried tea is just the most commonly used method for green tea. Datang's Tea is still boiled and drank with milk and other messy things in it, and there is no classification of tea leaves at all!
In the book Li Ke got, the biggest advantage is not only the production method of tea. China's six major teas, red, green, green, yellow, black and white, each have their own production methods and origins! And these origins are the most important!
For example, for black tea, the most familiar one is probably Qimen black tea. In fact, Zhenghe, Minhong, etc. are all good.
There are more green teas, such as West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Maofeng, Xinyang Maojian, Lushan Yunwu and so on.
Green tea is also oolong tea, and the famous Dahongpao is oolong tea.
Yellow tea, Junshan Silver Needle, etc.
Dark tea, including Pu'er, is considered dark tea. White tea and dark tea are produced in a wide range of places and belong to different manufacturing industries.
These can all be planned in advance. There are some places that Datang cannot control yet, but there are many places that it will have no problem controlling.
Although it is not like large-scale planting in later generations, there are quite a lot of wild tea leaves. As long as you pay to buy them, some people will pick them.
"The most important thing at the moment is the production of glass and soap. These two are our short-term goals to make money." Li Ke reminded again. Cloth and silk are the largest and most profitable industries. After all, they are equivalent to directly printing money.
The production of glass is faster than soap. After all, Li Ke still asked them to be careful about soap, because glycerin will be produced during the cooking process. This is also a dangerous chemical. If you are not careful, it may cause casualties. In this era We still know too little about these things.
Glass is relatively simple, and Li Ke waited for another two days before the glass was successfully made.
Looking at the green glass pressed into a rectangular shape on an iron plate in front of him, Li Ke sighed with emotion. When he was a child, the doors and windows at home were all green glass because the iron inside was not removed cleanly.
Now this piece of glass is very close. It is still a little rough, but it doesn't matter. As long as you find the process, the rest will be much simpler.
"Prepare the mercury, prepare the mirror, and there are glass blowers who can also try to start." Li Ke explained to Tian Meng that in the early days of the glass industry, such as water cups, bottles, etc., They are all blown out manually by workers.
At present, if he wants to make these tools, Li Ke can only blow them manually, but it doesn't matter, this thing is a luxury product.
For the time being, it is impossible to popularize it on a large scale like cloth.
However, the production of the mercury mirror still made Li Ke wait for another three days before completing the production.
Tian Meng looked at the mercury mirror in front of him in amazement. Who would have thought that the combination of mercury and glass could produce such wonderful things! The reflection in this mirror was so refreshing. Tian Meng had never seen so clearly what he looked like.
"How many have been produced so far?" Li Ke asked, pointing to the mirror in front of him.
"Your Highness, we have made a total of seven mirrors of the same height as yours. There are more than thirty others the size of a palm, and there are eleven mirrors the size of a basin." Tian Meng immediately bowed.
"After making ten more large mirrors, we will stop. We will go all out to make the remaining ones. Let the blacksmiths, masons, and carpenters redevelop the furnaces in the workshop. The entire glass workshop is enclosed and no one is allowed to approach! Speed up the training. Relevant workers. In addition, we will see if the method of making large mirrors and glass can be improved." Li Ke explained.
"yes!"
"Put all the existing mirrors into the car and go back to Chang'an City to make money!" Li Ke said calmly.
"Yes!" Tian Meng was a little excited! These mirrors will definitely sell for a lot of money!
Tian Meng went to ask people to start loading the mirrors into the truck. It was not easy to transport this thing.
As for selling mirrors, Li Ke is not going to go anywhere else. It is very simple. For this era, Chang'an City is the place where the richest are concentrated! Just selling it here is enough! In the later period, it will be expanded to Luoyang and other places at most.
After Tian Meng packed up his things, Li Ke headed directly to Chang'an City with the mirror in high spirits! This thing needs a spokesperson, and the best spokesperson in this era is of course his cheap dad.
By the time Li Ke arrived at the palace with his things, it was almost afternoon.
"Where is my father? Where is he?" After entering the palace, Li Ke went straight to Liangyi Palace. Generally speaking, Li Shimin would be in Liangyi Palace when he had nothing to do.
"Your Majesty is at the Zhengdian Palace. Her Majesty the Queen is feeling unwell today." The young eunuch replied.
Li Ke nodded. Queen Changsun just gave birth to Princess Xincheng when the Chinese New Year was approaching last winter. In fact, after giving birth to her son, her body collapsed, and then she gave birth to another one. Her current body is in the royal family. This If ordinary people's homes were gone, they would be gone long ago.
Even so, Queen Changsun persisted until next year. Maybe this is why she wanted Changle to get married?
"Go to the Li Zheng Palace." Li Ke nodded, and then greeted him directly. The guard following him immediately carried the box and followed Li Ke. Naturally, it was impossible to come by carriage when entering the palace, but directly by special carriage. The box was brought in.
