Chapter 81 Bead String

Nowadays, the porcelain of the Song Dynasty is really not expensive. An ordinary porcelain bowl only costs more than ten cents a piece.

Even the ordinary Jun kiln porcelain used in tea fighting only costs a few dozen yuan for a teacup.

Of course, after a kiln disaster occurs, it is equivalent to winning the lottery.

The price difference between ordinary porcelain bowls in later generations and high-end handmade wood-fired antique porcelain bowls is a thousand times, easily.

This principle is applicable to any era. Therefore, the jade porcelain products of Shijia Porcelain Factory, whether it is a glass bottom glazed porcelain bowl or an underglaze crystal flower beauty shoulder vase, the smallest unit of value is Guan.

Suyou struggled for a long time, but finally gave up the Meishan City industrial layout plan. The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky. From now on, the goods in Shu will be developed to be extremely exquisite, and take the route of high-end luxury goods, so that they can be easily brought out of the Bashan Shu River.

As for mass production, let’s wait until we get out of the mountains of Bashu.

Atunmi put down this item and picked up that item again, his face filled with the shining light of gold coins.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road, the Southern Silk Road, and the Erlin Department are important control throats.

He put the porcelain down reluctantly: "Brother, how many pieces of this kind of jade porcelain can I give to my sister?"

Su You smiled and said: "Sister, what business requires is not a one-shot deal, but a steady flow of water. Otherwise, let alone two or three thousand guan, ten thousand guan or one hundred thousand guan will not be enough."

"The main purpose of your trip is to buy salt, and secondly, cloth and silk are also in large quantities. As for jade, porcelain, swords, weaving and dyeing, and books, it is already extraordinary to be able to spend thousands of dollars to purchase them."

Atunmi waved his hands: "The books are no longer needed, free up funds to purchase the other three types."

Su You said carefully: "Sister, this is wrong. I just think that books are the most important thing."

Atunmi asked: "Oh? What's the truth?"

Su You said: "Most of your dealings with the Song Dynasty rely on documents, and most of your transactions with the Song Dynasty rely on contracts. Now the business is only a small one, so it cannot be seen. But when bronze wares are produced in large quantities,

What will happen?"

"When the time comes, Yazhou Food Market will not be able to fully digest such a large amount of goods. Are you going to set up a store in the market to sell it yourself in the long term?"

"Similarly, the market cannot provide you with a large amount of goods of equivalent value to the bronze wares. So, can you apply to summon a large number of merchants to come and buy goods? Or you can bring banknotes, huizi, or even bring some bronze wares directly to Meizhou

, go to Chengdu Prefecture, and go to Bianjing for trade exchange?"

"The foreign trade of the Song Dynasty has always been dominated by surplus. In other words, things from the Song Dynasty are important commodities to you, and your things are valuable to the Song Dynasty.

It’s optional.”

"This is not a long-term solution, nor is it a healthy business environment."

"But the situation is different now. Now you have large quantities of commodities that are urgently needed by the Song Dynasty. An effective economic cycle has been established between the Erlin Department and the Song Dynasty."

"There are no losers in this cycle, everyone gets what he needs and benefits."

"In this process, the traditional model of collecting and exchanging goods at the market will not be able to meet the needs, so it will be replaced by tariffs. In the circulation of a large number of goods, the imperial court will gain huge benefits from tariffs."

"As long as the benefits that the imperial court gets from this method are greater than the benefits that Special Questions get, then it will be a matter of time before the Special Questions business method is broken."

"At that time, the Erlin Department will truly have abundant financial resources. Sister, do you think it would be possible to reach that level without having a thorough understanding of the economy, culture, and policies of the Song Dynasty? Is that okay?"

"For my sister, this has many advantages, but there are also disadvantages. That is, the Erlin Department's dependence on the Song Dynasty will become stronger and stronger. It depends on the choice of my sister and the general."

"If you decide to take this path, then the written books of the Song Dynasty will be the top priority."

"You need to cultivate talents who are proficient in sinology, even like Goryeo in the Tang Dynasty, a few Jinshi, a few real senior officials, who will actively speak for you in the court."

Mr. Fan immediately offered his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this policy of Mingrun is an upright and upright move. If we work together, we will benefit both sides."

Atunmi held her forehead with her hands, feeling that she still couldn't digest it for a while. This was a major event that determined the fate of the tribe. She didn't dare to make a decision, so she could only say: "Brother, you can't represent the Song Dynasty in this matter, and neither can I."

I cannot represent the Erlin Department. We have to think about it in the long term."

Su Yougong smiled and said: "That's right, there are no large quantities of bronze products, everything is just a mirror."

There is a serious problem in the trade of the Song Dynasty. It is like a rich man surrounded by a circle of beggars. He can only play with himself. It is more appropriate to say that it is a way to send people away than to trade with the surrounding people.

The key is that these beggars have a fairly high level of force, and they all have dog-beating sticks in their hands. Sometimes they are not so easy to deal with.

Su You's idea is to use the Erlin Ministry as an experiment to change the model of rich people and poor beggars to a true interoperability model, at least in Chuanxia 4th Road, to establish normal economic circulation and promote economic development.

According to the laws of economic development, that is the real scourge. This will catalyze the emergence of a large number of vested interests, and when these people become powerful, they will use various methods and do everything possible to defend their vested interests, thus changing the upper-level

architecture.

If the vast majority of people can benefit from a policy, or to say the least, a policy can only benefit a few people but does no harm to others, then the policy is theoretically unstoppable.

Nowadays, Su You is weak and has to compromise at every turn, but this does not prevent him from sowing some seeds at the right time.

This is true for the four families of Jiang Qing, and the same is true for the Erlin tribe.

Mr. Fan was from the Song Dynasty, and it was his life's ambition to convert the surrounding Jizhou of Yazhou and obey Wang Hua. However, before, he only thought of starting with Dehua and training, but now Su You suddenly pointed out another more practical way for him.

I can't help but admire this effective path.

I have been isolated in the wilderness for twenty years, and I don’t know the changes within the Song Dynasty. How long ago did my children in the Song Dynasty become such monsters?

Looking at the situation, the Lord was obviously tempted by Su You's suggestion. He thought that after all these years, he could not compare to the casual words of the boy by the glass river, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away...

But he ignored the most important thing, interests.

Shi Da was afraid that what happened last night would offend the rich man of the host family, so in order to please Atunmi, he even gave him a pair of beads.

There are a total of 108 beads in the jade porcelain. In addition to the small pink beads, there are also three larger pink and blue lotus beads and a three-way Buddha head.

There is an auspicious knot tied under the Buddha's head, and two emerald blue tassels hang from it.

Atunmi was so happy that he took off his silver robe and put on a string of beads: "Brother, do you think it looks good?"

Su You arranged it for her: "It looks good, but it's hung upside down. The tassel should be on the back. Well, it looks better this way."

The beads of various colors are actually waste products from the experiment of bearings and transparent glazes. Because the iron in the glaze and mud was not completely removed, the fired beads are not pure white, but warm in color.

Shi Da was about to throw it away, but Su You said, are you crazy? He took it and randomly matched it according to size to make it look like now.

In order to obtain a regular spherical shape and even glaze spraying, the beads are rotated on the axis for trimming and glaze spraying. If there is a small hole, then the beads can be stringed.

Then put it in a wooden box, and it becomes a complete handicraft.

Don’t underestimate beads. Trading beads is such a sinful thing. In the Age of Discovery, a string could be exchanged for a slave in Africa!

Not seeing Shi Da's searching efforts, Su You asked him to get another larger one for Atunmi to wear on his hand: "These two things are the goods that my younger brother prepared for my older sister to sell to Nanzhao.

One is called 'One Hundred and Eight Sons', and the other is called 'Eighteen Sons'."

Atunmi suddenly understood: "My brother is so smart! Buddhism is prosperous there, and they can't do without it when chanting sutras!"

Su You smiled and said: "These two strings of beads, my sister will wear them for fun first. Alas, it's a pity. If I could have fiber materials like Huohuanbu, I could make something else for my sister, more beautiful than colored glaze."

Clear and more colorful than crystal..."

Women can go crazy for jewelry. Atunmi fiddled with the pink magnetic beads named "Baby Red" on her wrist and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed: "Brother, the main reason for weaving fire huan cloth is that it is difficult to weave the fiber into cloth.
