Zhao Hanzhang didn't see how many things Zhu Chuan had brought, what their quality was, and how much they were worth. Naturally, he couldn't negotiate the price immediately, so Zhao Hanzhang asked him to stay first.
As for the subsequent price issue, Chang Ning naturally went to negotiate with him.
As a noble daughter of a noble family, how could she talk about such mundane matters?
Ahem, the main reason is that I was too pretentious before and it was difficult to bargain, so I can only leave the bargaining to Chang Ning.
Zhao Hanzhang said to him: "Suppress it if you can, and try to make it easier with colored glaze."
They have recently produced a lot of colored glaze. Although Ji Yuan and she are slowly releasing goods, they still have a lot of accumulated goods.
Neither Ji Yuan nor Zhao Hanzhang were willing to release the goods at too low a price.
But in the counties surrounding Shangcai, it should be said that the glass market in the counties in Runan County has reached its first peak. Unless the price is lowered, the sales volume of glass will not be very good.
At this time, we need a big merchant who can connect all places.
Zhao Hanzhang pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chang is very close to him, why not invite him to live at home?"
Chang Ning thought thoughtfully and nodded after a moment, "What the girl said is that Zhu Erlang is coming from afar, and we, as hosts, must entertain him well."
As the bookkeeper and staff member that Zhao Hanzhang had worked so hard to recruit, she was very kind to Chang Ning, as shown by giving away houses, people, and various furniture and ornaments.
It is not difficult to find a house in the half-empty Xiping County, but it is not easy to decorate the looted house in a warm and elegant manner.
Zhao Hanzhang not only had people buy Chang Ning a lot of furniture and ornaments, but also many glazed products.
God knows how Chang Ning felt when he saw a full-length mirror in his bedroom for the first time?
Not only that, there is a round mirror on his dressing table, which is as big as a bronze mirror, but much clearer and brighter than a bronze mirror.
In order to make it easier for him to entertain guests, Zhao Hanzhang also had two sets of colored glass cups given to him, and a pair of colored glass bottles were placed on the Duobao shelf.
It can be said that the things in that room alone are worth Chang Ning's reward for working beside Magistrate Chai for ten years.
Chang Ning valued him so much that he wished he could repay him with his own body.
Chang Ning decided to drag Zhu Chuan to live with him so that he could see those glazed products accidentally.
If you want to sell things at a good price, you have to let customers feel their benefits.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction.
Chang Ning did what he said and immediately took Zhu Chuan to his house as a guest. Zhu Chuan didn't want to stay overnight. Although Chang Ning's house looked spacious, he felt it was more comfortable to stay in an inn. However, he accidentally saw two
At the time of the glass vase, Zhu Chuan changed his mind.
So Zhu Chuan stayed overnight, and the two of them had a great time chatting. They planned to talk by candlelight that night.
So Zhu Chuan naturally saw the full-length mirror in his room.
It was the first time that he saw his own appearance in the mirror so clearly and completely, and Zhu Chuan was stunned.
Compared to the glass cup, he was more eager to know the price of the full-length mirror.
Not only dressing mirrors, but also vanity mirrors. These two things are better than glass cups. Whether they are sent to Luoyang, Jizhou, or taken back to Shu, they will be sought after!
Seeing Zhu Chuan take the bait, Chang Ning raised his lips.
But Zhu Zhuan is not stupid. Chang Ning, a bookkeeper, can have so many glass products in his home, which means that they have a large amount of glass on hand, or they have a source of glass.
Zhu Chuan narrowed his eyes when he thought of a certain rumor he heard occasionally when he came to the West. Maybe the rumors were not necessarily rumors.
Rumor has it that Zhao Sanniang had a glaze workshop in Shangcai and was able to make colored glaze.
If this is true, then the price of colored glaze...
When Chang Ning saw him meditating, he knew that he had thought of the key, and he felt even more happy.
The girl said that a one-shot deal can only bring temporary happiness, but how can it compare with a steady flow of water?
Some things they say may not be believed by outsiders, and people have to think about them. They don't mind lowering the price of priceless colored glaze to the level of expensive, consumable luxury items. What they want is to be able to continuously sell colored glaze.
channel.
The land of Shu is relatively peaceful, and both cloth and grain are the best. If they can trade these luxury items with them for these survival necessities, then they will still make a profit.
While Chang Ning and Zhu Chuan were testing each other, Fu Tinghan and Zhao Hanzhang were thinking about the next luxury item.
Fu Tinghan opened the soap for her to smell, "Because it's almost winter, and there are many people killing pigs and sheep recently, I tried it with oil. Some dried flowers were added to it. Can you smell it?"
Zhao Hanzhang took a sniff and sighed, "Professor Fu, what else can't you do?"
It had been a long time since she had called him that. Fu Tinghan smiled and said, "This is not difficult. You can definitely do it too."
This is indeed not difficult, but it is not easy to do it, and you have to try it several times.
Zhao Hanzhang closed the box and accepted the gift he gave, "I was just going to tell you, do you still remember the diagram of the textile machine and the improved agricultural tools after the Ming Dynasty? I remember the history textbooks in junior high school and high school.
It’s all there.”
Fu Tinghan was stunned for a moment and then said: "I teach mathematics..."
Under Zhao Hanzhang's gaze, Fu Tinghan paused and said: "I still vaguely remember some of it, but if I follow the diagram... forget it, I still recognize the general mechanical principles. Give me a craftsman and I will try to study it."
Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "I will send someone to find craftsmen who can make textile machines. Before that, you will make use of the existing carpenters."
Fu Tinghan nodded and started thinking quickly, "You have to find me a current textile machine. I have to dismantle it and take a look. I know what you mean. If in the future the Northland and the Central Plains really fall into a melee as you said,
If traffic is cut off, we can only be self-sufficient. By improving the efficiency of textile machines, we can release more productivity."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "That's right. The current chaos is mostly caused by the upper-level struggle for power and profit, so there is no need to fight over production relations. Let's start with productivity."
Fu Tinghan raised his eyes and looked at her, "You want to compete for the hearts and minds of the people?"
"Of course, when I decided to separate Yuzhou, this is what we had to do."
Zhao Hanzhang was very concerned about these two things, much more than making glass and paper, so she rolled up her sleeves and planned to do it with Fu Tinghan.
She had a loom brought in, and the two of them changed into light clothes and began to work around it.
Fu Tinghan took a pen and paper, and Zhao Hanzhang took a ruler. They dismantled the loom, measured the data, and drew pictures.
This is not difficult at all for Fu Tinghan. As a professor of mathematics, he occasionally participates in some projects. The mechanical principles used in textile machines are not complicated. For him, the difficult thing should be the woodworking technology.
Without nails and some glue, they can only use mortise and tenon structure, so they have to consider the spacing issue...
Fu Tinghan began to think deeply, and the two of them stayed in the room until evening. After the light dimmed, they went out, but their minds were still on the spinning machine.
Ah, it's great to have Chang Ning. Zhao Hanzhang can take time out to do these things, and the rest can be left to the people below.
