"Let's go now!"
"Go right now!"
Whenever the masters hesitate for a second, they feel that they are disrespecting the fifty-two red seals.
Fifty taels!
Based on the price in Beijing where one copper plate can buy a large steamed bun, these fifty taels are enough for an ordinary family of five to spend for a year.
Although these craftsmen bear the name of the royal family, in fact, because they make products for the royal family, apart from the possibility of making money, these craftsmen can only work when they are commended by your majesty or nobles. Get some pitifully low bounties.
A red envelope given by the owner of fifty taels can be used to visit several houses in a day.
And this money is earned in a clean way, all based on one’s ability.
This allows the craftsmen to feel not only the improvement of their own value, but also the bright future of the craftsman industry.
Some craftsmen who had to force their children to change careers to study and take imperial examinations had new ideas at this time.
Zhou Jingxian didn't know that they had so many ideas, but she was also happy for these masters who worked hard but were not taken seriously and whose wages were pitifully low.
She looked at the hot roast chicken in the pot and gave instructions to the cook.
"Put all the roast chicken in that pot and let the masters pack it up and take it away. You worked hard last night, butler, watch and enjoy."
The princess's palace's silver reward also has specifications.
Usually it starts at ten taels.
The housekeeper assessed the appearance of the princess, and then thought about what Mr. Qin said just now, just to measure the size, he sealed fifty taels of red seals, and decided to give fifty taels of red seals to the three masters.
Anyway, the princess made a lot of money from doing business with Mr. Ning, as well as the income from the fiefdom. If it could not be compared with ordinary people, it would really make people laugh if word spread.
Zhou Jingxian didn't know what the housekeeper was thinking.
If she knew, she would understand why those glazed windows and radiators were sold out overnight.
Both worries are resolved.
Zhou Jingxian returned to the room where she could already feel a hint of warmth and fell asleep.
When the rooster crowed outside, she rolled over in the heat, glanced sideways at Mr. Ning, who was lying on the bed and had kicked off the quilt, and tentatively stretched out a foot.
finally.
Thinking that Qin Shi and Yun Fei were also there, she retracted her feet obediently, returned to her room, changed into a refreshing summer dress, and hugged her under the thin quilt.
Um.
Feeling comfortable.
…
It's still dark.
A long queue formed in front of Suzaku's door again.
And because many people stayed up all night, they came earlier than usual.
When King Kang arrived, all the courtiers were present except for some older courtiers who had difficulty with their legs and feet.
"Prince Kang is here."
As soon as he got off the carriage, someone came to greet him from a distance.
This time, they treated each other even more warmly than the last time they went to court, making King Kang dumbfounded.
The glazed windows and radiators at the entrance of the industrial department were sold out last night. Those who arrived early spent a million taels to buy dozens of units. As a result, those who arrived late could only hold their noses and smile in apology. In the end, the negotiation failed and a fight broke out. It is impossible for Prince Kang’s palace to be unaware of this matter.
Especially when the princess heard about Mrs. Shen's glazed heating room while she was serving him to dress, the look of envy on her face was undisguised.
King Kang did not see the window of the Ministry of Industry.
But thinking about the colorful glass bottles on the flagpole, I felt that it would really be a pleasure to build them into a house and use the smokeless coal to work inside.
But he could only think about it.
Not to mention that Prince Kang's Mansion is a small place, unlike the Shen Family Courtyard where one can easily carve out a large courtyard to install a glazed heating room.
It is only said that the Shen family spent a lot of money. They gave one million taels as a deposit alone, and Prince Kang's palace couldn't pay it out.
Besides, he doesn't like this kind of materialistic luxury.
Right now I'm just looking forward to it.
My father can enjoy it first and build a place like this in the palace.
Anyway, the glass from the Ministry of Industry is used in the palace, so it costs nothing but wages.
Father has it, so he just needs to take advantage of it.
King Kang was led to the middle of the courtiers. He wanted to move forward, but the officials in front formed an arc and blocked him.
On the surface, officials like these third- and fourth-grade officials would hardly get close to any of the crown princes.
Today's actions frightened King Kang who had just accepted Zhou Qian's teachings.
He quickly took a step back, raised his hands and said hello to everyone.
"How did Prince Kang sleep well last night?"
"good."
"Kang Wang, you gave birth to a good daughter. This good daughter of yours has a sharp eye and has brought out a good talent. Do you know how many silver notes Mr. Qin, the Minister of Industry, counted out last night?"
The person who spoke was the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
The sourness in his tone made King Kang drop his teeth.
Even if he knew about this, he couldn't say he knew it in public.
"I don't know, so I would like to ask Master Shangshu to enlighten me."
Apart from those from the Ministry of Works, only the Minister of Hubu had the guts to say this amount in public.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance did not hide anything, and stretched out two fingers towards everyone.
"Twenty million taels of silver!"
There was total silence.
Nothing else.
Many people saw Qin Shangshu counting money with their own eyes. They knew how much money they took out, but when they learned the total amount, they would be lying if they said they were not shocked.
Then I thought about it.
I'm glad I went early last night.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be stupid to not spend the money you have at home and wait for others to come and steal it?
Who doesn’t know that glazed windows and radiators, for the Ministry of Industry, are equivalent to making His Majesty a lot of money.
But this method of making money can bring down the price of colored glaze, allowing them to enjoy superior treatment without forcing them to donate money. It can also allow them to take advantage of the capital's geographical advantages to buy more sets and resell them. Sell it to wealthy merchants and gentry on the Guannei Road or surrounding areas and make a fortune.
If His Majesty makes money, they will make money too. It is really good if everyone is good to you.
Therefore, apart from the fact that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue did not pay attention to the income of the Ministry of Works, he watched Qin Shangshu collect more money in one night than he collected in taxes in a year and was jealous.
Everyone was still happily surrounding Prince Kang, and they were inquiring about how many young ladies to be married and unmarried young men in Prince Kang's house.
Especially Princess Xian's younger brother, he wanted to know all about this boy's hobbies so that he could create opportunities to make friends with her.
In front of Zhuque Gate, people were chatting animatedly.
In the capital, whenever there are crowds gathering.
They all also talked about the strange scene of a long queue in front of the work department last night.
Compared with the sincerity of Daxing people watching the excitement.
Ambassador Loulan in the Xiyi Pavilion was so sore that his teeth almost fell down.
"Twenty million taels of silver! Twenty million taels of silver! Who said that Daxing's Liuli Market can only sell tens of millions of taels of silver every year? Everyone thinks they are smart businessmen, but in the end they only know how to sell useless ornaments. I never thought of using it as a window!”
Wow!
Lord Loulan threw the transparent glass cup used to hold tea on the table to the ground and was furious.
In addition to anger, he also had fear.
He originally thought that the audience for Loulan Glaze was the powerful, the rich. If the price of the royal glaze was too low, he could ask Loulan merchants to spread rumors that the stone used in the royal glaze was inferior and that only their local mineral materials in Loulan were good. It's top quality.
But as soon as Liuli Chuang came out, his plan was about to die before it could be implemented.
Liuli actually changed from a handicraft to a daily necessities?
As a Loulan native who has used colored glaze as flowerpots for five hundred years, why didn’t I think of this? !
