Emperor Wanli naturally wanted to comfort him when he heard this. Under the guidance of Liu's father, he also met with several important figures in the Liu family. Of course, the main characters are only Liu Mu and Liu Haonian. Although Liu Guangyuan and the others had a close relationship with the Liu family, their status was not high enough to be received by Emperor Wanli.
However, Liu's father was also a very discerning person. He had long known that Emperor Wanli had something important to do this time, so he briefly introduced his family and then left. Then Liu Haojia directly introduced Emperor Wanli into the study.
As soon as he entered the study, Wanli Emperor Wanli was eagerly greeted: "Brother Liu, is there good news this time?"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "There is indeed a way!"
Emperor Wanli was overjoyed and said: "Speak quickly, tell me quickly, what is the solution?"
Liu Haojia said: "Your Majesty, please be patient. I will show you something first!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia turned around and took out a small nanmu box from the upper cabinet in the study. This box looks naturally carved, very late Tang Dynasty style! Liu Haojia specially asked the craftsmen to make this and make it old, just to enhance the atmosphere!
Emperor Wanli and the two saw that this box was already quite valuable, and they felt that the contents inside must be even more valuable! So the two of them watched with bated breath as Liu Haojia opened the box and took out something the size of a book from inside!
I don’t know if Liu Haojia did it on purpose. He twisted his wrist while holding this flat object. The sunlight coming from the window shone on the object, and the reflected light flashed across the eyes of the two people, making it dazzling. The sunshine stimulated the two of them to blink!
Needless to say, this thing is a mirror! In fact, Liu Haojia had already made the mirror a long time ago, but the almost costless business of mirror business was naturally a huge profit, so he didn't dare to take it out at all! If he takes it out, I'm afraid those wealthy families really won't let him go! Now that he has me, Emperor Wanli, as his backer, he can confidently and boldly come up with this technology!
When Liu Haojia held the mirror steady towards Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli immediately saw his face in the mirror! This is so exquisite! Shocked, he immediately understood the function of this thing. He subconsciously touched his face and blurted out: "What a baby!"
After saying that, Emperor Wanli reached out and grabbed the mirror, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully. Liu Haojia had already added a frame to the mirror, so he couldn't see Zi Wu Maoyou coming even though he went back and forth. However, Emperor Wanli lived in the palace after all and was used to seeing good things. He stretched out his hand to touch and knock on the mirror and then raised his head and said: "Brother Liu, is this thing made of colored glaze? I don't know that colored glaze can be made." A mirror like this!”
Liu Haojia pointed at the mirror and said: "Long live my good eyesight! This thing is similar to Liuli, but the effect is much better than Liuli! Do you think this thing can be sold easily?"
Emperor Wanli didn't say anything. Zhang Jia had already said, "It's easy to sell! I want this baby! I'm afraid it's expensive and ordinary people can't afford it!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said: "That's right, I'm not planning to sell this thing cheaply. I just want to make money from those big families so that they can help us build a venue and buy equipment!"
Emperor Wanli laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Okay, let them pay to get rid of the bad breath in my heart!"
Zhang Jia reached out and touched a mirror and said, "I just don't know how much this thing is priced at, and how much is the price difference?"
Liu Haojia said: "Zhang Banban, why don't you first tell me a price that you think is feasible."
Zhang Jia held up the mirror and looked up and down repeatedly before saying: "Liu Li itself is valuable and rare. This thing looks similar to Liu Li. I'm afraid it will cost two to three hundred taels! No matter how much it costs, those wealthy families may not be able to bear it. Got it!"
Emperor Wanli also nodded and said: "Yes, if there are two or three hundred mirrors, let alone those wealthy families, even I will feel distressed when using them!"
At this time, Liu Haojia said with a strange smile: "If it were a hundred taels, would everyone buy it?"
Emperor Wanli and Zhang Jia almost said in unison: "I will definitely buy it!"
They finished speaking, but looking at Liu Haojia's expression, they knew there was something wrong. Emperor Wanli blinked and said in a low voice: "Isn't your mirror very cheap?"
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "That's right! The real cost of such a large mirror is less than one tael of silver!"
In fact, it was Liu Haojiaduo who said the cost of these two taels of silver, but it still shocked Emperor Wanli and the two of them! Emperor Wanli said in surprise: "What, less than one tael of silver? How is this possible? I have a string of glass rosary beads. The beads are full and round. It costs two thousand taels of silver!"
Liu Haojia smiled and said, "Does your Majesty know how Liuli is made?"
Emperor Wanli said casually: "Of course I know! It is said that the kiln changes when the porcelain is fired can be fired!"
Liu Haojia continued to guide: "Does your Majesty know what raw materials are used to make porcelain?"
Emperor Wanli said impatiently: "Of course it's porcelain clay...Ah, is this mirror also made of clay?"
Liu Haojia clapped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is smart! Although this mirror is not made of earth, it is made of similar things, just sand mixed with other things!"
Emperor Wanli said with surprise: "Doesn't that mean this thing is very cheap?"
Liu Haojia said proudly: "Things are cheap, but the selling price must be high! Because I and two old kiln workers are the only ones in Ming Dynasty who know the formula and firing process of this thing. If you want a mirror, you have to buy it from me." , so I say the price is the price!”
At this time, Zhang Jia, who was stimulated and looked confused, murmured to himself: "A mirror worth one hundred taels actually makes a profit of 99 taels. This is Feitian's windfall!"
After hearing this, Emperor Wanli and Liu Haojia both laughed! Liu Haojia said: "This is indeed a huge fortune! But if I take it out in advance, it will be a huge disaster for our Gu Ningbo Mansion! But now that your Majesty is watching over it, the common people dare to take this thing out!"
Emperor Wanli rubbed his hands with a red face and said: "Brother Liu, you see that you are relying on me to take out this thing. When it comes to dividing the money, can I give you a little more?"
Liu Haojia said: "That's natural, Your Majesty can even take the majority!"
Emperor Wanli laughed with joy after hearing this, but Liu Haojia then said: "But Your Majesty, there is one thing to say beforehand. The money from selling mirrors in the future will first be used to build venues and recruit personnel. Your Majesty, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a while if you want cash!”
