Chapter 15: Opening the door (3)

Zhu Zhi let the few people feel these novel products and watch them with a smile. Wu Tianci was the first to react and asked, "I didn't expect that Your Highness was so clever and made such a comfortable recliner. Haha, I don't know if Your Highness can give up the love and give this chair to the small people." This reminded several other merchants. When everyone thought about it, it turned out that the King of Liao usually had a hobby of making things. He made a few things and wanted to sell them to himself. So he stared at Zhu Zhi with wide eyes and muttered in his heart, "Don't offer a sky-high price."

Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "If Manager Wu likes it, why not give it to you."

Wu Tianci stole, "I don't know, I don't know how much this thing costs?"

Zhu Zhi smiled and raised a finger: "A thousand taels of silver in the silver." My mother, Wu Tianci took a breath of air conditioning. It's so expensive that his grandmother is. Although it's very comfortable to sit on such a chair, it's not worth the price. There's no way. Since the King of Liao is speaking, he has to give it even if it's ten thousand taels.

Wu Tianci also forced a smile and said, "That's such a clever chair, oh no, the sofa only costs 1,000 taels of silver. Your Highness is a reward for the common people."

Zhu Zhi knew that the joke was almost done, and said, "No, I don't want to sell these things to you, but to sell this business to you." Everyone widened their eyes, and they couldn't understand what Zhu Zhi said.

Zhu Zhi said again: "Shopkeeper Wu, how much work does this sofa cost? I honestly answered."

Wu Tianci patted this and then, and thought for a while: "According to Xiaomin, the wood is almost twenty cents at most, and it is even enough to have some scraps in the corners. The wood is not visible, so there is no need for good materials. This doesn't cost much, and the leather may cost ten cents. Add some nails, cotton, craftsmen's labor money, etc., and it will cost 100 cents if you die."

Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "It turns out that he is an expert. I spent 200 cents on this thing. Of course, the wood and leather are all sold separately, which is a little more expensive. But if this thing is sent to Yingtian Mansion and Jiangnan, how much can it be sold? Do you think it is sold at a 10 tael bank?"

Wu Tianci slapped his head: "Xiaomin understands that a more exquisite chair made of good wood costs about five taels of silver. I think, although it can't be sold at such a high of ten taels, it should be fine to sell this for five taels."

Zhao Zhengxiong said over there: "Yes, this leather bubble is beautiful in style and costs only two taels. Usually, a fox leather robe costs ten taels of silver in Jiangnan. It is easy to sell ten taels of silver."

Zhu Zhi looked at everyone happily. Although these merchants belonged to the Ming Dynasty, no one was stupider than anyone else. After reminding him a little, everyone immediately understood and said, "Okay, everyone, I heard from me that Liaodong has abundant products. These wood, fur, and iron ore coal are all things that we produce here. These are raw materials. How much money can you sell them, but if you make them into some things, you can sell them at the price. Why do we in Liaodong only know not to sell the previous raw materials and do not know how to increase the added value of the product?" Zhu Zhi was excited and pulled out modern words, and everyone was in a hurry and naturally ignored them.

Chang Kun said: "Yes, this furnace is needed north of the Yangtze River, and they have to buy our coal after selling the furnace." He was always serious and couldn't help but smile. What a big deal.

Zhu Zhi saw that everyone was interested, and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "So I came to everyone to discuss with everyone whether they could make these transactions. I have no money and want to sell these designs to you. Let's do the transaction together, and we will make a 50% deposit. What do you think?"

As soon as these words were said, the people below immediately smiled. It is not fun to cooperate with the officials. Although the salt industry has a lot of profits, the salt merchants lose money every year, and they are all making trouble for the red tape of the government.

At this time, Zhu Zhi picked up the notebook and said, "I know what everyone is worried about, so I have this decree. If you do business, you will sign a contract. You and I have to abide by it. If you have earned money, you will also resist the losses. Besides, I will not only sell it to you for design, but will also publicize it to you. In two months, the birthday of my mother will be the Queen Mother. At that time, I will have a batch of goods to celebrate my birthday. At that time, I will wear such leather robes and sit on such sofas in and out of the palace."

Everyone thinks that, this prince is asking you to do business and also pays for publicity. Not to mention that there is a possibility of making money, even if you don’t have money, you have to pay differently. Zhao Zhengxiong said: "Your Highness, since you are so proud of us, how can we not obey our destiny? Do you think so?" In Guangning merchants, Zhao Zhengxiong looked like a boss, and others agreed to him when he said this.

Zhu Zhi said: "Since that's the case, please see which deal you are interested in, and then come out to confirm your own business, and then make a calculation. At that time, negotiate with Yao Dianbu. The shares are basically half of the government and half of you. As for taxes, they will be charged separately. What do you think?" Of course, everyone had no objection and responded. Zhao Zhengxiong naturally asked for the sale of the leather robe. Wu Tianci wanted to open a furniture factory, but Chang Kun held the stove and never left.

Only Li Dachun was alone. Seeing that others had business, he was fine, he stole the secret: "Your Highness, look, the other people had business, but Xiaomin didn't seem to have a business."

Zhu Zhi looked at him with a little unwilling look and was amused. Just now, the group of people were as good as guarding themselves, but now they were eager to give him an idea. Of course, Zhu Zhi came prepared and said with a smile: "You can do what you want to do with your business, why are you anxious? It's getting late now, let's have a meal first, let's have a chat while eating."

Zhu Zhi likes to eat seafood. Two days ago, he specially ordered his personal soldiers to go to the beach to find fishermen to order seafood, and then quickly sent it back to Guangning. If it weren't for the blind rules of "gentlemen staying away from the kitchen", he would even want to cook in person. In the end, it was awesome. Zhu Zhi just went to the kitchen to guide him, such as pepper-free salt-skinned shrimps, steamed abalone with garlic, fried crabs in the typhoon pond, sea cucumbers with onion, braised shrimps with oil, fried seafood... A table of exquisite and delicious seafood meal was placed in front of the merchants.

Several businessmen really thought that the ancestral tomb of their hometown was smoked, and that they were just businessmen. The Liao King invited him to have dinner. These people were so nervous that they were sitting on pins and needles. But seeing Zhu Zhi so enthusiastic, who dared to say no, let him say he was so happy, so the chopsticks could only move twice. They looked at a table of delicious delicacies that they had never seen before, and saliva drooled.

Not to mention them, even Zhu Zhi didn't say that he could eat such a table of seafood. Look at how fat the abalone is, and then look at the sea cucumbers, they all want to be as thick as a child's arms. Zhu Zhi greeted him and came up to eat a few bites of abalone first, muttering: "If you don't have fans, you just need some taste."

As soon as he looked up, he saw several people watching him eat, not daring to move his chopsticks. Zhu Zhi was so depressed. Such a sumptuous seafood meal, what is interesting to eat alone. He quickly swallowed the things in his mouth in his stomach in a few bites and said, "Why, is this dish not the taste?" The merchant quickly turned his head and shouted that the taste was good, "Since the taste is good, why not eat it. You must know that the fun in the glutinous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous treacherous

Seeing Zhu Zhi’s simple and honest appearance, his cautious mind gradually became relaxed. He was feasting on this tasting. At that time, the Northeast was still in the state of eating meat and drinking with big bowls. Even in modern times, people in Northeast China would just dip in soy sauce and vinegar, and there were no such exquisite seafood dishes, let alone Liaodong and Jiangnan. Several merchants were born in the grass, and Chang Kun was a scholar. He couldn’t stop the car by moving chopsticks. He threw all the politeness and caution behind him.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Zhi slowed down. Looking at the increasingly relaxed banquet, he smiled contently and said to Li Dachun: "I heard that the deal of the shopkeeper Li is very popular."

Li Dachun had just gnawed a big crab claw, and when he heard Zhu Zhi's greeting, he quickly put down his reply: "I'm okay to accept your old blessing."

Zhu Zhi said: "I heard that the Li family's business is spreading across the grassland and desert, and even the territory of the Jurchens has been touched."

Li Dachun said: "Just earning two hard money, Your Highness laughed."

Zhu Zhi said: "I wonder what objects the Tartars and Hu people like us Han people?"

Li Dachun said: "I like salt, iron, tea and cloth," he said.

Zhu Zhi said: "Then what will they exchange with you?"

Li Dachun said: "It's mainly cattle and sheep."

Zhu Zhi said: "Don't you have a horse?"

Li Dachun said: "Horse must be exchanged with the court, and private individuals cannot be touched."

Zhu Zhi said with an oh, "What's the wool after that sheep is slaughtered?"

Li Dachun said: "What's the use of that thing? It's usually thrown away."

Zhu Zhi said, "That's a pity. I have heard of a way to make wool into clothes."

Li Dachun was excited as soon as he heard this. The prince still didn't forget us and quickly said, "Is that so? Please give me advice quickly."

Zhu Zhi said: "You wash the wool with hot water and alkali, then dry it, find a way to loosen it, and then spun it into wool, which can be knitted into a wool cloth, and can be used to knit into a sweater. This wool and sweater are very warm clothing materials, and can be worn on the body to resist the fur." ​​Li Dachun listened carefully with wide eyes, nodded constantly, and kept his head in his heart.

Zhu Zhi added: "This sweater is very light, and our army may need it in large quantities. When the shopkeeper Li goes back, he will try to make it first. I will draw a pattern of clothes for you another day. If it is good, I will build a place with you half of it." Li Dachun nodded like rice pounding, and his loss just now was wiped out.

Zhu Zhi said again: "And your caravan, the government encourages you to increase your investment in the caravan. If you can go further, you will have a bigger business."

Li Dachun frowned and said, "The caravans earn hard-earned money. There are many bandits and beasts in the white mountains and black waters on the grassland. Alas, this money is not easy to make."
