The peaceful days in Haizhou City have been maintained until before the imperial examination. The exam is approaching. Due to the yamen runners and the wing army, the imperial guards will fully undertake the safety of the examination room and the security of the candidates during the imperial examination. Zhang Shuye was short of staff at hand, so he simply delegated power again and decided to contract the eighteen main streets in the city to the general security group of three people, allowing them to collect a small amount of security fees on the street...

Unfortunately, this regulation is exceptional to Shihua because Zhang Shuye believes that Shihua's current income on West Street is enough to compensate him.

Zhang Shuye issued this order on the day before the scientific examination. On that day, Su Xin's cousin had already prepared the upper and lower classes and agreed to say goodbye that day. When he was depressed, Chuan was standing in the yard and preparing to scold the street: Grandma, who would think that the money was too much? Zhang Shuye, if you have good things, you can't remember me. The work you work hard all the time... Look, I urged me out of the city several times and asked me to stay in Cuizhuang.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. Zhang Shuye, I eat worse than pigs, do more than donkeys, get up earlier than chickens, and sleep later than dogs. For those eighteen streets, will you die if you give me one more?

When the girls saw Shi Chuan walking around the yard with annoyance, they all thought he was upset about Su Xin's separation. Huan Niang wanted to come forward to comfort her several times, but she was pulled away by Huang E. Huang E felt that it would be better to let her brother calm down at this time.

But Shi Chuan couldn't calm down at all, and it was rare to have a free time. The butler Mu Shun came to him. He came over to show Shi Chuan: "Owner, I just came from the warehouse in Zuoxie Street and brought Su Xin's cousin's goods. Yesterday his goods had been moved into our warehouse. I saw that although it was a 'half-ship brocade', it was actually only more than 800 pieces."

Shi Chuan raised her eyebrows: "This business has no loss, right?

Mu Shun shook his head: "Ha, boss, we didn't pay the other party, why don't we lose money? As for the goods we used to compensate... our handbags were all tried by craftsmen. Although the styles are novel, the stitches vary. The old man doesn't know what price Dalang plans to set for this kind of bag, but the balm and fragrant pan are identifiable. Where is the price? Let's take a closer look... Master, you can take a look at these pieces of brocade first. Let's go to the house to watch."

These brocades are all packed in high-quality wooden boxes, each piece of brocade is packed with a box. This packaging is probably to be waterproof and moisture-proof during transportation. When you open the box, you will first see a thick piece of yellow mulberry and hemp paper. Then carefully uncover the mulberry and hemp paper to reveal one of the brocades... When you wear them, you can't help but hold your breath.

This is not brocade, it is clearly a huge piece of gold foil.

To argue carefully, the goods in the box are indeed textiles, which are woven together with gold silk and silk. The gold silk is drawn very evenly and slender, and there is almost no difference in thickness from silk. In the whole brocade, the golden silk and silk are organically fused together, making the whole brocade both soft and shiny like gold foil.

"This is probably the gold-weaving brocade?" Shi Chuan picked up a piece of gold-weaving brocade and observed carefully curiously - this kind of fabric is a masterpiece of modern times. Modern people can only see no small piece of fabric from excavations from tombs.

When the front of the yaojinjin unfolded, all the girls in the room couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. They had heard about the magnificence of the yaojinjin since childhood, but they didn't expect that it would be so dazzling.

It is just a textile woven from silk and gold silk, but it is just a painting - countless golden threads are woven with magpies patterns. This magpies live on a short branch, with their mouths open and seemingly chirping. The magpies' golden feathers are furry, making people unable to help but want to reach out to caress, as if they can hold the magpies in their palms.

"Owner, this business is really impossible - this piece of brocade alone will take about three or five years to weave. I don't know what the price of these things is in Shu, but I guess that such a brocade will only be at least 600 guan. It is cheap to ship it here from thousands of miles away. The little goods we gave are not worth a fraction of the goods."

Shi Chuan glanced at the dazzling girls in the room. Su Xin was no longer living in the yard. Although it was not time to set off, she followed her cousin to run around the past few days, helping to contact the cabin and arrange cargo...

Without a team leader like Su Xin, and six girls were sent to the countryside to help supervise the workshops in the countryside, Shi Chuan simply canceled the group where Su Xin was and dispersed the remaining team members and assigned them to each group. Now the group is Huang E's group, and although Huang E is an official girl and has been living a wealthy life since she was a child, her father is just a county magistrate.

Such a sesame official is not enough to get into the gold-breasted brocade... So Huang E also looked intoxicated and caressed the gold-breasted brocade, reluctant to leave.

Animals like women, like the legendary dragon, are born to be unable to resist the temptation of shiny objects.

Shi Chuan frowned: "So, Su Xin's relatives are not ordinary wealthy. So why don't you ask her parents for remuneration after the kidnapped her?"

Mu Shun shook his head: "The boss, they can't be considered big silk merchants. Tokyo City, Hangzhou City, Guangzhou City, and silk merchants can trade tens of millions of coins at a time. This is not too far away. For example, two cases were reported in the mansion report last month: After a certain silk merchant traded, he paid hundreds of thousands of coins alone. My Emperor Song's tax was one, and the transaction amount was tens of millions of coins.

So, like this, eight hundred pieces of silk are indeed small and small businessmen... Dalang, how much does it cost to buy these silks? Su Xin's cousin has put down this batch of silk, and the family still has money to continue doing business? So I think we can't collect this batch of goods."

Shi Chuan touched his chin and thought: "Su Xin's cousin said he had half a ship cargo. Well, the small boats that came down from the Yangtze River cannot be compared with sea boats. Eight hundred pieces of brocade also accounted for about half of the river's position; silk merchants traded and traded domestically, at most 100% profit. If this batch of goods is worth 60,000 guan, the family would have to take out 30,000 guan to acquire them, plus transportation costs..."

"Are all the goods knitted gold brocade?" Shi Chuan asked again.

Mu Shun shook his head: "How can it be? There are no ten pieces of such brocade in Shu a year. Among the goods, four of them are woven gold brocade. Su Xin's family has spent a lot of effort to buy them. The rest of the goods are broken branches, flowers, flowers, birds, insects, fish paintings, auspicious beasts, landscapes... I guess, the total price is around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, the goods we sent..."

Shi Chuan replied: "Our luggage is used by newly recruited craftsmen to try out the craftsmanship. Because the workshop has not been built yet, I don't know how many people will be recruited to the workshop in the end, so I only gave them a pattern to show them their ability. The price of this batch of goods is good or bad. Just don't just set the price. After the workshop is sold, you can settle the amount of money at will.

As for the balm and fragrant pan of our house, we will compare it with the wholesale price for the Huang family store. Well, just give a discount on the total price. In addition, Su Xin's family also bought a batch of jewelry, including about 200 hairpins, more than 100 armbands, several rings and earrings. Huang E, take the jewelry you have assigned to, let Butler Mu distinguish it and estimate the price."

After seeing the jewelry samples Huang E brought, Mu Shun turned around and left. Shi Chuan was puzzled, calling Mu Shun and asked: "Butler Mu, why don't you say anything, turn around and leave?"

Mu Shun pointed to the jewelry and said, "Owner, jewelry is the most expensive among the thousands of goods. People say that gold and jade are priceless." The owner's jewelry is unique and has a new look, embedded in gold and jade. Whether it is workmanship or design, it is not bad for the emperor to wear it. Ordinary people have this jewelry, which can be used as a family heirloom for future generations to collect.

Haha, although the brocade of Suxin’s family is expensive, silk is expensive and jade is priceless. With this batch of jewelry at the bottom, even if our other goods are given to him for free, he will still make money for our family.”

Gold and silver jewelry cannot change the times, and I have never heard of jewelry that can promote technological progress. Shihua made these jewelry, just to convert Hai Gongzi's gold and silver ingots into goods that can be sold... Well, this behavior is modernly called "money laundering".

When making the product, it boldly used many modern technology techniques, such as using 8k gold and 12k gold to make "wind flowers". This device is similar to a modern spring. It was called "wind ring" in the Song Dynasty. It was embedded in butterfly wings, dragonfly wings, and flower branches and petals to increase the dynamic feeling of the details of the jewelry. After it is made, the entire jewelry looks far away, whether it is a flower branch or a small animal, it sways vividly in the wind and is lifelike.

Oh, in order to create a lifelike effect, Shipeng also uses a variety of alloy technologies, such as using k-gold technology to increase the hardness or flexibility of different parts of jewelry. In addition, in order to depict the color changes of branches and to set off the colors of the inlaid gems and jades, he uses various colors of metals: bronze green and purple gold bright red. He also doped a large amount of silver and tin lead into the gold, so that the so-called "k-platinum" was born in advance...

In this way, all kinds of metals of colors, from light to dark, have soft and natural colors, and are organically integrated with nearby metals, making the shape of the entire jewelry more vivid - of course, they are also more rare.

Thanks to modern commercial sales techniques, each piece of jewelry is worn in a fabricated story, or an allusion, or the experience of people who have worn it. For this reason, many jewelry is deliberately used to make it look old and historical. In this way, every piece of jewelry here is almost priceless, and once a shiny thing like jewelry falls into the eyes of women, they are willing to pay any price for their own love or to show off each other.

An insider like Huang E, she knows the origin of these jewelry, but Huang E is a person who is very good at controlling her desires. She has obtained a set of jewelry from Shi Chuan. Although other jewelry makes her reluctant to leave, she doesn't seem reluctant to leave because she knows that these things are fakes.

Even so, Mu Shun's valuation still aroused a sense of nostalgia in Huang E's heart. She endured it for a long time, looked at Mu Shun's back and walked out of the yard, and said stutteringly: "Brother, this set of jewelry doesn't even have a replacement. Why not make a few more pieces for me? I don't need anything else. I like the set of "Hua Xiangrong" worn by Sister Suzhen. I heard that the set of jewelry she wore was so popular, so my brother also made a set of jewelry for me...

Well, the price of jewelry made from silver is not high, it is just my brother's craftsmanship..."
