The originally bustling Jingyang Street has become much more depressed after half a year of war, especially after Daxia, Yunguo, and Chenguo all cut off the trade routes to Dayao, the salt, wine, and cloth shops with the most people come and go in the past. Some of them were closed directly, and most of the pedestrians came and went in a hurry, or got into the shops and restaurants opened by a few ancient people.
Only when the government starts selling salt every once in a while, this street will become lively.
However, in the past few days, an area of the street has been crowded with people, not only high officials from the imperial court often come and go, but even many pedestrians stop here.
From a distance, you can see a "Royal Glass" sign hanging in the middle of that area.
Zhang Junzheng, Zhang Heqi and Zhang Heju's uncles and nephews were watching from a distance, but there were human heads in front of them, so they couldn't see clearly what was inside. Zhang Heqi pointed to the front and said, "Fifth Uncle, that's right there."
"You said that there are crystal-like transparent vessels inside. I remembered that there were ancient people in China selling such a batch of goods half a year ago. They were robbed by Ye Ke, the lord of Qingfeng City, and Ye Ke was wiped out a month later. The door was full, and the batch of utensils were also snatched back.
If according to what you said, the price of those utensils is so low, I don't understand. What are they doing all the way to get these things back? "Zhang Junzheng said with some doubts.
Even if he broke his head, he never imagined that when Ren Baqian saw the batch of things that Hong Bao had snatched back, he felt as if ten thousand alpacas were running and jumping there!
At that time, Ren Baqian had the heart to kick Hongbao to death.
Let you steal other people's treasury, even if you grab some money and get it back.
In the end, I ran a long circle and snatched back the glasses and mirrors that were stolen!
Later, Ren Baqian weighed his own and Hong Bao's fighting strength before giving up resentfully. But seeing Hong Bao's expression of taking credit for grabbing something good, Ren Baqian felt even more depressed.
Zhang Junzheng's uncle and nephew squeezed through the crowd, if it wasn't for the three of them still having a bit of force, they wouldn't even be able to squeeze in the outer circle.
Zhang Junzheng's strength as a martial artist was almost kicked across the street from the crowd.
The three of them didn't dare to get angry. There are several ancient civilians in this crowd who are equivalent to the strength of the Earth Wheel. Zhang Jun is thinking that his Earth Wheel strength can already be regarded as a party figure in Yunguo, and there may not even be a commoner here. It is an opponent, but also has sympathy.
The martial arts talents of the ancient people are too enviable and jealous.
Fortunately, their brains are not very good.
This means that every advantage must have its disadvantages!
The three finally squeezed to the front, only to see that there are still a few guards blocking the front of the store, mainly to prevent these people from breaking the glass windows.
If no one is watching, those like Qin Chuan will be the first ones, but they will definitely not be the last ones.
The three of them stood in front of the crowd and looked at the shop in front of them, tsk-tsk in their mouths.
I saw that all the wooden boards on both sides of the shop were removed and replaced with eight doors. Each door was divided into six grids, and the middle of the grids was completely transparent. Something like a crystal. The light shines into the shop through that layer of glass, making the shop extremely bright.
There are not many people in the shop, only a few dozen. You can see the scene inside the shop from the door. The shelves against the wall are filled with crystal-like products, cups, saucers, bowls, boxes; Under the illumination of the night pearl, it looks dazzling.
"Is this the glass that this shop sells?" Zhang Junzheng asked.
"It's so ingenious. I really don't know how they made it, and the price is so cheap. A glass cup only costs ten taels of silver, and even a hundred taels of silver can be sold?" Zhang, who came here once before, was so incredible road. This was the first time he saw someone who could sell something at a high price, but wanted to sell it at a low price.
"The ones they sell in Izumo Kingdom are not cheap. A crystal cup costs 500 taels of silver. It seems that the cost of this kind of glass is very low, and the governor Ren still has some skills." Zhang Junzheng said lightly.
"Fifth Uncle, about the bet..." Zhang Heju asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, they are already on their way, and they are all the best craftsmen of the Zhang family." Zhang Junzheng's lips moved slightly, and his extremely thin voice reached the ears of the two.
After a while, as people began to come out, the three of them were also let in.
After entering the shop, the three of them felt a burst of coolness. I saw ice basins with ice cubes in the corners of the shop.
Now in Lancheng, dozens of shaved ice shops have opened, ice is not a rare thing, and the three of them didn't pay much attention to it, and focused all their attention on the glassware on the shelf.
"How much is this?" Zhang Junzheng asked the people in the store when he saw a set of transparent teapots and cups, and liked it very much.
"Eight hundred taels!" A woman in the shop glanced at him and said.
"So expensive?" Zhang Junzheng was shocked when he heard the words.
A transparent cup is ten taels, and such a set of tea sets costs eight hundred taels
"Then how much is this cup?" Zhang Junzheng asked, pointing to a cup.
"One hundred and fifty taels!" the woman said. Following her words, other people in the shop turned to look at the cup, a little surprised. Then he looked at Zhang Junzheng, thought about the price he had just asked, and began to wonder if there was something wrong with his ears.
But as someone whispered a few words in their ears, the others burst out laughing, feeling extremely happy.
Zhang Junzheng glanced at Zhang Heqi, and Zhang Heqi also looked surprised: "Isn't this ten taels?"
The woman smiled formulaically at the three of them, but did not answer.
Zhang Junzheng turned around in his mind, pulled his face down and said, "Let's go."
"Uncle Wu, when I came here, I saw that they were selling taels." Zhang Heqi said angrily when he got out of the crowd.
"It was sold to the ancient tribe for twelve taels!" Zhang Junzheng said with a gloomy face, and a burst of anger rose in his heart.
In the past, people from other countries had always raised prices when they sold things to the ancient people, but now they are reversed by these barbarians.
It's really irritating.
…
"Just now, Tong Zhenye said that things sold in glass shops are cheap." Sitting in the garden with Ren Baqian, the Empress said.
"It's not cheap anymore." Ren Baqian shook his head and said. "If it is more expensive, they will trouble me in the future."
The cost of glass is very low. Glass cups sell for ten taels of silver, which is already sky-high.
Taking Dayao's ordinary officials as an example, the one-month salary of the steward of the animal garden is only about six taels of silver, and two months' salary can be exchanged for such a cup.
Others who can afford it are also bigwigs from the DPRK and China.
Sooner or later, glass will become a cheap item that ordinary people can afford.
At that time, those North Korean and Chinese bigwigs who now buy glass products will find themselves cheated.
It is conceivable that these gangsters will react when they find out that they have been cheated. When the time comes, someone will ask him to put up a flag and challenge him one-on-one every day. Thinking about the consequences, Ren Baqian doesn't want to bear it.
"As long as the sales of glass products increase, the profit will not be low. Like those custom-made glass, a window costs at least six yuan, sixty taels of silver, and two windows in an ordinary house cost one hundred and twenty taels. Add the door , about two hundred and two taels. Which of those grown-ups doesn’t have ten or eight rooms? There are also glassware, which are fragile and consume quickly.”
While talking, Ren Baqian was a little regretful: "Actually, I originally wanted to make a fortune in Izumo and Daxia with glass, but unfortunately it was destroyed by this sudden war."
"Fortunately, I can sell them at a high price in the future. As long as they haven't learned how to make glass for a day, even if the price is more expensive, they have to hold their noses. It's just that a cup can't be sold at a high price of five hundred taels."
"They took so much advantage in the past, so I should pay back some of it." The Empress thought of those hateful foreign businessmen in the past, and thought about them buying things at high prices with their noses in the future, and she felt relieved.
"Yes, you will have to pay it back sooner or later when you come out to hang out." Ren Baqian also laughed. "Even if they don't use glass, they still have mirrors, soap, and clocks...they spit out the money as they eat it."
The Empress thought for a while, these words sounded disgusting, she pinched Ren Baqian's ear with one hand and twisted it around!
