As the glass technology finally began to mature, Zhu Zhen was no longer polite, while using the cheapest materials with almost no capital to bake a large amount of glass.
At the same time, he also started selling it to the big toasts at extremely high prices.
For example, the Mu family chieftain clan in Lijiang.
Even though Tengchong and Yingjiang were far away from Dali, they could not escape the disaster.
The Dao family and Dao Gong family were also aware of the situation and spent money to eliminate the disaster.
But this glass was a new thing after all, and the chieftains were shocked when they saw it at first.
It's just that although the things are good, the prices are not cheap.
Zhu Zhen dared to ask for one hundred taels of silver at first, and sent one hundred yuan to each of the three chieftains.
This is thirty thousand taels of silver.
With the purchasing power of silver today, it is at least six to seven hundred, not to mention the level of one thousand soft sister coins.
How much is this?
The point is, just 300 pieces of broken glass were sold for so much money?
This is not just a huge profit, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a huge profit.
Especially Wang Fu and the soldiers who were responsible for burning the glass. They saw with their own eyes how Zhu Chu extracted the raw materials. To put it bluntly, it was either a pile of sand that could be seen everywhere, or something made from a pile of stones, or even a piece of raw material. Powder made from piles of plant ashes.
How valuable is this?
When the cartloads of white money were delivered to Zhu Chu's treasury, Zhu Chu's little face flushed with excitement.
"Quick, quick, keep shipping, send it abroad quickly to grab money. No, hurry up and make money," Zhu Zhen suddenly became excited, even half of what he was saying was spoken out.
At the same time, Zhu Zhen also knew how to win people's hearts. He did not take so much money for himself, but rewarded him greatly.
The soldiers who burned the glass and those responsible for extracting the raw materials, including Wang Fu, each received a reward of five hundred taels.
The soldiers' enthusiasm suddenly surged.
It's right to follow Zhu Zhen, he will not rely on his status to use his power to pressure others, let alone talk about chicken soup, but will directly give benefits.
Five hundred taels is not a lot, not to mention all the technology provided by Zhu Chu. Everyone is satisfied.
Not to mention that more glass is being made in full swing here, Zhu Chu also took the opportunity to make soap.
Making soap is not difficult in itself, but the difficult thing is not knowing the specific principle at first.
But Zhu Ming relied on the system to cheat. He had mature technical formulas, so after the first experiment, he successfully produced a large amount of soap.
Zhu Chu also deliberately placed the soap and let it cool for more than ten days to ensure that the alkali substances had almost completed the saponification reaction and would no longer harm the skin before preparing it for sale.
The first batch of soap totaled 5,000 pieces, of which 3,000 pieces were sent to the territories of the three chieftain clans again, ready for them to digest.
But this time Zhu Chu was not so cruel, and each bar of soap only cost five taels of silver.
"Just? Five taels of silver? Isn't that expensive?" Wang Fu was stunned on the spot.
Are you trying to force the three major chieftain families to rebel?
"Stupid! Can they use up a thousand pieces of soap themselves? I sell them five taels of silver, and they can sell it for six, or even seven or eight taels of silver," Zhu Ming rolled his eyes.
This Wang Fu is really a pimple.
In fact, not only did Zhu Ming not intend to force the three major chieftain families to rebel this time, he even gave them benefits.
Wang Fu was suspicious on the spot. Is King Min so kind?
"The main reason is that I have thought about it. If we let our own people go to overseas countries to sell glass, it will be easy to get into trouble," Zhu Zhen finally explained.
A piece of glass costs one hundred taels of silver, so a cart of glass is worth a cart of silver.
Why don't you go and grab it?
Zhu Zhen was also worried. Although he wanted to plunder foreign money, what if people from abroad also wanted to plunder him?
So transporting the glass out is not a problem, but how to transport the silver back is the problem.
Zhu Chu can't send troops, can he? And how much should be sent?
"Send someone to inform the three major families and tell them whether they want to do the glass business," Zhu Zhen said with a smile full of malice.
Have you ever heard of MLM? What about agents?
Anyway, he only needs to earn a hundred taels from a piece of glass. As for how much money the agent can sell, that has nothing to do with him.
Wang Fu was already stunned and looked at his prince stupidly.
Once the three major chieftains are involved, the scope of the impact will be unpredictable.
"But Your Highness, the common people cannot bear such trouble," Wang Fu persuaded with concern.
"I'm not trying to harm the people, are you stupid? Make a profit first, and when we make enough, we can even directly distribute the glass formula, and then everyone can make glass."
"What's the point of defrauding people's money? Besides, people don't have much money. If you want to defraud, just defraud those rich people," Zhu Ming said confidently what he planned.
This is just his first pot of gold, and after all, glass is just a new thing. Except that everyone will be surprised at first, it will be like that after they get used to it.
What's more, there was also colored glaze in ancient times. That thing and glass are almost twin brothers. The unique thing about glass is that it is transparent. Other than that, it has no advantages at all.
So Zhu Zhen is just planning to make a fortune now, but in the later period, the price of glass will plummet, and he doesn't plan to rely on this for the rest of his life. Sooner or later, he will make it affordable for all people.
The same goes for the soap.
"Three thousand pieces of soap were sent to the three chieftains, and the remaining two thousand pieces were sent to Yingtian and sold all the way. Only one hundred pieces were left to pay tribute to my father," Zhu Zhen said carelessly. said.
It seems that he has not forgotten that the Central Plains is also very fertile. Because glass is not easy to transport, he just left it alone.
But the soap can be delivered over there.
"Your Highness," Wang Fu was already sweating.
Pay tribute? Co-authored Are You a Subject? Has Yundi left the Ming Dynasty? Do you want to rebel for independence?
Besides, out of two thousand pieces of soap, only one hundred pieces are left for the emperor? Is it okay? This is not as good as the specifications of the three major toasts.
My lord, please be more careful.
"By the way, the sugar is almost ready for sale, right?" Zhu Zhen asked again.
Zhu Zhen has always been thinking about white sugar, and during this period of time, as he produced bamboo charcoal activated carbon, through the adsorption effect of activated carbon, he finally succeeded in finding a way to make brown sugar fade to white sugar.
Zhu Chu also specially asked people to manually make the granules of white sugar after the finished product.
For people of this era, this is simply a miracle.
Wang Fu was shocked at that time. He recalled Zhu Chu's words in the past. It turned out that white sugar as clean as snowflakes was real?
"Your Highness, you should pay tribute to His Majesty first," Wang Fu persuaded him earnestly.
"Why are you so bothered? The old man wants whatever he wants, and I have to give it to him?" Zhu Zhen was very angry. This batch of sugar only weighed 100,000 kilograms, but he wanted to exchange it for a million taels, or even millions. Two pieces of silver.
How can I have time to think about old Zhu Tou'er?
Is it true?
