Augustus II was a little surprised by Betegue's choice, but still said nothing. The Middle Ages are over, and the relationship between master and apprentice is strict but no longer cruel. Betegue is equivalent to using five years of labor in exchange for Chinese technology. In his opinion, this has no impact on himself.
Even a little happy. It seems like Chinese people without braids can really do the porcelain look.
However, when Huang Xuan came to him with an ugly plate, Augustus II couldn't stop laughing.
When Huang Xuan opened his mouth, it was 000 thalers.
To be honest, Augustus didn't think 000 thalers was a lot. It was just a year's salary for more than a hundred cavalry, but Huang Xuan didn't say that 000 thalers was used in exchange for porcelain technology.
Frederick felt that he should settle the matter, so he said to Huang: "I will give you 5,000 talers, and you must make porcelain like this."
He was referring to the Kangxi Dynasty porcelain placed on the table.
Huang Xuan smiled and said: "000 thalers is the price for making such porcelain. As for yours, we will talk about it after we make it."
He was naturally referring to the beige and white porcelain on his hand.
Chu Yining translated for Huang Xuan and asked, "Don't push him too hard."
Huang Xuan smiled and said: "The price of two to three hundred tons of grain is nothing."
Chu Yining immediately understood the essence of this number. Travelers are like this. They have to convert the purchasing power of different currencies every day. Without sufficient reference, it is very troublesome.
Augustus knew that Huang Xuan was a man who could talk, so he desperately described his poverty to him, and his spittle almost flew on Huang Xuan's face.
Xiao Huang talked for a while and found it boring, so he handed over the work to Chu Yining. The latter was proficient in business and quickly convinced Mr. Qiang Wang with the value of time, the value of technology, and the level of confidentiality.
A 000-thaler silver coin was so heavy that it took two people to carry it.
…
"Build the road first. If you want to be rich, build the road first." Huang Xuan walked out of the palace and stretched himself and said to Chu Yining.
Miss Chu frowned and said, "Why do you keep ordering me to do things?"
"Didn't you lose?" Huang Xuan said pretending not to understand.
Chu Yining's face turned red with anger, and he was about to leave with a big step, but when he saw Huang Xuan following behind him, he immediately said angrily: "Why are you following me?"
Huang Xuan said with an aggrieved look: "If you are not in front of me, if someone kidnaps me or accidentally stabs me to death, who should I go to?"
Chu Yining was speechless, and finally realized that she was also working as a bodyguard.
In this strange plane, she lost some of her usual calmness, partly because of Huang Xuan, partly because of many other things - no matter who it is, subconsciously they think that they are the most important. As a first-class traveler, Regardless of whether Huang Xuan has a "plane in his hand" or whether he has advanced training materials, Chu Yining is unwilling to stay with him in a strange and boring plane.
But at present, it seems that without Huang Xuan, her stay will be too long, and who knows what is in the remaining two plane doors.
Out of team spirit, Chu Yining just glared at Huang Xuan and walked towards the street, letting Huang Xuan follow behind.
They could not build roads through Augustus II, which would be more troublesome.
The most prosperous street in Dresden is near the royal palace. It is the most prosperous German city besides Berlin and the only place in Saxony where countless shops and guilds have opened.
Although the Hanseatic League has ended, its will and traditions have been preserved to some extent, making merchants on the street tend to establish a more complete and larger alliance model.
Without going through the energy screen, Huang Xuan quickly found the hiring gathering place here. Chu Yining wore the clothes kindly sent by Augustus II and was amazed by countless men and women along the way. This moment also made her Why doesn't the "shopkeeper" open his mouth
"What's your name?" Chu Yining asked first.
"Schwein, Schweinhof."
"Okay, Schwein, we want to build a road to Pensaburg, and we also want to build a lumberyard. How much do you want?"
"Building a road is a very troublesome thing." Schwein bowed. He was not as tall as Chu Yining, but he had a round beer belly that was pressed against the table to keep him away.
Huang Xuan knew what Chu Yining and the others were talking about, but he didn't want to hear the details. He didn't care at all. He took this opportunity to think alone.
How will she deal with the relationship between Chu Yining and herself. Why did the damn P001 plane put two people in? Huang Xuan's eyes were full of mysteries.
For about 10 minutes, Chu Yining and Schwein determined the road to be built, and then announced to Huang: "It may take them a month to build the road near the aperture we found. If it is widened, it will take three months or even half a year.”
According to the 9:1 time exchange, although Huang Xuan was not willing to stay here for a few standard months, compared to P11, a month was only 10 days, so he just nodded lightly and said nothing.
Instead, Chu Yining asked: "How much can you get for your porcelain? We have to build about four kilometers of road, which costs about 400 thalers per kilometer."
"I'm not sure if I can make such good white porcelain. If I can, I should have more money. If not, I'm afraid I can get at most 5,000 talers from Frederick. He only has so much money. "
When it came to porcelain, Augustus II was not a stingy person, but he was definitely a strict guy. It was difficult for Huang Xuan to be sure whether he could make porcelain that Europeans liked. Even with multiple alchemists, it was probably not possible. There won't be much of an improvement. Historically, it took Betege more than twenty years to perfect the production of porcelain, and he could not afford to wait.
Regarding Chu Yining's words, Huang Xuan was mixed with water. Seeing that he seemed to be far away from danger, he became more alert. In other words, at this time, Huang Xuan believed that his value to Chu Yining had dropped to the freezing point. .
The best times are also the worst times. Huang Xuan has seen this kind of thing more than once. Just like Huang Jindi, when his health was at its worst, no one in the Huang family would talk about the position of the patriarch. But when he got better, all attacks came one after another, and in the end he could only step down sadly.
Chu Yining handed Schwein 50 thalers as a deposit. 50 thalers is approximately equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan. However, it must be considered that during this period, the monthly salary of each worker was only about 10 thalers. 50 thalers The deposit already made Schwein promise to quickly find enough hired workers to survey the terrain.
"The rest of them will find us there." Chu Yining pointed at the tallest palace, bluffing Schwein into not daring to speak, but he had no doubts. He thought Chu Yining was Augustus II's again. Another mistress.
After walking out of the trading house, Chu Yining smiled and asked Huang Xuandao: "Where are you going now?"
Her attitude was quite good, but Huang Xuan completely gave up the idea of wild rabbits.
He lowered his head and looked at Chu Yining's feet, and said for a long time: "Let's go take a look at the mirror here."
"Mirror?"
"Yes, I think there might be more benefits to making a mirror."
Chu Yining laughed and said: "A glass mirror, right? There are already mirrors in this era. I used them yesterday. You were wrong this time."
About 1800 years ago, the Queen of France bought a mirror for 10,000 gold francs. It should be the most expensive mirror in the history of the world, truly unprecedented. But in the 18th century, especially since the French succeeded in poaching 40 years ago, the price of mirrors has plummeted. You can buy a mirror for about 1,000 thalers, but it is still quite expensive.
Huang Xuan felt that it was safer to appear as valuable as possible. If he was lucky, he might be able to obtain the management rights of P001 before Chu Yining became angry at some point, and then he would probably, maybe, maybe be safe. As for the rest of the mystery, he thought it would be better to leave it alone.
With this consideration in mind, Huang Xuan said in time before Chu Yining laughed: "My method of making mirrors is much cheaper than people of this era, and the Germans don't know how to make mirrors."
The Germans did not know how to make glass mirrors. The French went to great lengths to get a few Venetian craftsmen from a heavily guarded island that looked like a federal prison. How could they combine the most advanced industrial secrets of the time with World sharing? Louis XIV was not an easy person to get along with.
Chu Yining said suspiciously: "How much is the mirror here worth?"
Jade-like fingers supported her ears and chin respectively. This shape made passers-by on the street freeze as if they were frozen.
Huang Xuan lowered his head and did not dare to look at Chu Yining, thinking: "It should be around 500 to 000 thalers." He deliberately made the range very large to gain trust.
"500 talers, worth about 5 tons of grain?"
"Absolutely." Huang Xuan shrugged and said: "The serfs of this era do not have enough to eat every day. If we want to hire workers, buy 1 ton of grain to ensure that everyone can eat two meals a day, and ensure that countless people will It came through the chamber of commerce and landowners, and hiring people for a day would never cost a taler.
"What about your cost?" Chu Yining became interested in Huang Xuan's suggestion. At this time, she became more serious and lost the coquettishness before.
Huang Xuan shrugged and said: "Do you know the silver mirror reaction?" (To be continued. If you want to know what happened, please log in to .qidian. There are more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!) (To be continued)
