It doesn’t matter that Loulan doesn’t want to sell goods to Daxing.
They can sell goods to Loulan.
Until Loulan Liuli earns back the difference in price from them!
At that time, they can make a few more glazed windows or even a few more sets of glazed windows!
In this wave of thoughts, people lined up to start with five sets of glazed windows.
In addition to the glazed windows, there are also radiators.
The cost of radiators is not lower than that of colored glaze, but since the technology is still waiting for a breakthrough, and it can be copied, if it were not for safety issues, many people might save some iron and find a place to forge it themselves.
Faced with this situation, Qin Shangshu patiently explained to them.
"If the radiator for a room is designed according to the minimum heating capacity, it only costs one hundred taels. You can try to buy a set first."
"Although this first batch is sold directly by our Ministry of Industry, it is the same as the retail stores outside. One house counts as one set, and there are a thousand sets in total. These are trial products and will be debugged. If there are any problems, It can also be returned or exchanged.”
"When the technology matures, the price may also increase or the material and temperature may be lowered, and the price may also be lowered."
Qin Shangshu strictly followed the language of the memorial written by Ning Huangshang and relayed it to everyone.
But how can people who are already obsessed with it listen to these words?
Steward Shen, who was ranked tenth, took out one million taels of silver from his wallet without saying a word and handed it to Qin Shangshu.
"My wife is afraid of the cold and likes to enjoy snow and flowers. She would like to hire a senior craftsman from the Ministry of Industry to build a glazed room in her house. This glazed room should be equipped with a radiator to make it transparent and warm. The effect is great. When the Glazed House is built, everyone present will be invited to come and take a look."
boom!
The Shen family's idea was like splashing a drop of water into a boiling oil pan.
There was a huge wave on the spot.
"This glazed house sounds really wonderful. Although my family is not as wealthy as the Shen family, we can still build a small house. We can work in it in the winter. It is really beautiful."
"Is it just a beautiful thing to do? Put curtains on the wood, and draw the curtains all around in the heavy snow. Only the snow above your head is falling, and the red plums are falling in the snow. This is very good. Qin Shangshu, what do you think?"
Qin Shangshu glanced sideways at the colleague who seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He was drunk in the carriage and started talking. He didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.
He married late and had a son in middle age. Now he is at an age where he knows his destiny, but unlike these young men, he has a lot of fun.
but.
The glazed house of the Shen family makes people's hearts flutter just by listening to it.
It's just that its cost is extremely high. Even if it's the cost price, plus the labor price, just making it three feet square would probably cost a hundred thousand taels to start.
One million taels, there really isn't much left.
"Steward Shen, I will take over this job for the masters from the Ministry of Works first. As for how to do it, whether this one million taels is enough will be discussed later, okay?"
"I believe that the masters from the Ministry of Industry will be able to produce results that satisfy my wife with their wonderful skills."
"Tomorrow morning, I will discuss with the left and right ministers, and one of them will be personally responsible for this matter."
Qin Shangshu did not dare to be careless.
Once this million-tael glazed house comes around, it is likely to become a new means of making money.
Secondly, the radiator is still made of iron.
The Shen family is not short of money, but the Shen family does not have iron mines. Naturally, they do not have a large amount of iron tools like the Ministry of Industry. The material of the radiator still needs to be discussed.
The contract is signed.
There is no way to change it.
This one million taels is equivalent to directly booking fifty sets of colored glaze, and Qin Shangshu also pre-ordered fifty sets of radiators.
The few leftovers were frantically grabbed by those waiting in line behind them.
"Brother Zhang, can you and I change places? I can help you get the Qing Guan you want."
"Brother Shang, can you help me reserve two sets for a while? It must be very expensive to buy one from Mr. Chen. He is a money-minded person, unlike you, Brother Shang, who is loyal. The copybook of the poet you want , I’ll give you two years to copy... Two years won’t work? Then ten years!”
In front of the gate of the Ministry of Industry, it suddenly seemed like a vegetable market.
Bargaining, clinging to friendship, talking all the time, can't stop.
Qin Fenglan recorded the amount on the contract and reported the remaining amount at any time, while watching the various situations in the world.
Seeing all the beings arguing endlessly for enjoyment, face, and interests, his admiration for Mr. Ning deepened.
No wonder, in Mr. Ning's eyes, he treats them all the same whether they are high-ranking officials, wealthy people, or traffickers and pawns.
Probably because Mr. Ning has already seen through that people with huge class gaps actually have the same characteristics.
"Is this the way to do business?"
Those who are small in business buy and sell.
Those who are great in business can influence people's hearts.
Qin Fenglan seemed to have some understanding, but he didn't understand it clearly.
He wanted to ask Mr. Ning for advice, but he knew it was inappropriate.
"It's better to hang out with Princess Na Xian more and ask her to ask her a few words during her free time."
…
Princess Xian's mansion.
Swish swish swish.
Swish swish swish.
Zhou Jingxian was poking at the wall with an iron pestle.
Today, the Ministry of Engineering made radiators. After testing the safety, she asked the craftsman to pick a set with the best thermal insulation and heat dissipation effect, and decided to install it in Mr. Ning's room overnight.
It happened that Mr. Ning drank the medicine and fell asleep. While the medicine was producing heat and the weather had not turned cold, even if he dug a hole, he couldn't get a few wisps of wind in.
When Mr. Bai Rining wakes up tomorrow and feels the warmth of spring in March, he will be greatly surprised.
After successfully digging the hole, she could vaguely see her thighs lying on the bed. Zhou Jingxian took a step back with satisfaction.
"You can take action now."
Even though there was a senior craftsman specially recruited by the Ministry of Works, he personally pierced the iron pipe.
There are also craftsmen who are specialized in fusing iron pipes and connecting the two pipes with unsolidified molten iron.
There are also craftsmen responsible for beautification, who paste the porcelain clay that has not yet solidified and fixed on it, and draw patterns while drying.
It is so meticulous. In addition to the fact that so many craftsmen and so many craftsmanship may be needed to build the palace, only Mr. Ning deserves these craftsmen to be so willing.
Because in the past, even royal craftsmen had a rather low status.
But things are different now.
This wave of trends led by Mr. Ning not only doubled their income and salary, but also made their status soar, becoming the favorites in the eyes of many people, and some even became guests in the houses of powerful people. You can also learn something and use it to grow.
All this is thanks to Mr. Ning.
So when working for Mr. Ning, they used all their skills, and no one dared to be careless.
Zhou Jingxian walked into the room and looked at the craftsman who was painting the pattern. After a few glances, she started to yawn.
Upon seeing this, the housekeeper Jin Zhong said with concern: "Princess, if you are really worried, why not take a nap on the couch next to the bed. When the work here is finished, the old slave will wake you up."
"I won't sleep tonight, not only to keep an eye on the installation of the radiator in this room, but also to keep an eye on what's going on at the Ministry of Works."
She is now a supervisor of the Ministry of Works, so how can she not do her job with all her heart?
Although she had no doubts about what Mr. Ning was thinking, she couldn't help but worry that people in the capital were not as aware of business opportunities as the people in Jinling. She was worried that people in the capital would not recognize Mr. Ning's philosophy of improving the quality of life.
A thousand sets of prefabricated glazed windows and a thousand sets of radiators, related iron mines and personnel are expanding. Grandpa Huang has planned how to spend the additional five million taels of military expenditure to provide cold clothes for the border officers.
If she cannot sell this amount, her small private treasury can only use up to 500,000 taels of liquid money to help fill it.
For the rest, Mr. Ning had to wake up and take the trouble to advise the Ministry of Industry.
