"Haha! Muchuan, you don't have to be shy! Since His Majesty has entrusted Youzhou to you, you must shoulder this responsibility!"
Yuchi Jingde said with a smile.
"Um!"
Muchuan nodded heavily and said, "Sir Yuchi, I have a little business and I would like to ask for your help."
Yuchi Jingde looked at Muchuan in confusion and asked, "What's the matter?
No matter what you ask, I, Yuchi Jingde, will definitely not refuse if I can help you."
"If I want to take root in Youzhou, I still need a group of troops. I hope Lord Yuchi can give me some troops."
Muchuan said.
"this?"
Yuchi Jingde frowned and thought for a moment.
He was thinking about whether he should help.
After all, although he had soldiers and horses, Li Shimin kept a close eye on them.
I bypassed Li Shimin and gave it to Muchuan privately to let Li Shimin know.
If His Majesty were to blame him, he might not be able to bear it.
Seeing Yuchi Jingde's hesitation, Muchuan said, "Don't worry, Sir Yuchi. I understand your concerns. You can borrow it. I will return it when I have established a foothold in Youzhou."
Yuchi Jingde thought for a moment and felt that Muchuan was not a bad person, and that Muchuan had just made extraordinary achievements, and His Majesty also valued Muchuan.
Thinking of this, Yuchi Jingde finally nodded and said: "I can get you 50,000 troops, but I have one request."
"Master Yuchi, please speak."
Muchuan cupped his hands and said.
"Many places in Youzhou are extremely desolate. No one is farming the land, and there is no income. You will need to spend a lot of money to build here.
I hope you can help me solve a big problem!"
Yuchi Jingde said with a smile.
"What's the big trouble?"
Muchuan asked curiously.
"You also know that although the world is stable now, there are still conflicts among bandits in various places. As a general who suppresses bandits, I have hundreds of thousands of troops under my command, but my military pay is somewhat stretched.
I would like to ask Muchuan if you can give me part of your glass products business, hehe!"
Yuchi Jingde rubbed his hands and said, "As you know, glass products are the most profitable industry for our Datang."
Glass product?
When Muchuan heard about this industry, he immediately thought of the items in his Chang'an Chamber of Commerce Auction House.
This is an industry that was everywhere in the Muchuan era, but was a luxury handicraft industry in ancient times.
In the Li and Tang Dynasties, an ordinary piece of porcelain cost dozens of silver coins.
Glass products only cost a few taels of silver, which is a huge profit!
Not only can it be used to decorate houses, but it can also be used to decorate and hold various things.
How could Muchuan allow such a profitable industry to be abandoned among the people!
He has always been firmly in his own hands.
But now that Yuchi Jingde wanted this deal, he felt a little guilty.
Glass products are a hugely profitable industry, but this industry is too profitable.
I only kept a few thousand kilograms of glass in my hand, and sold the rest. It would be good to give the rest to Mr. Yuchi and exchange it for 50,000 troops.
But Muchuan also had to pose a problem for Yuchi Jingde.
"Master Yuchi, this business is not so easy to do."
Muchuan said: "This is a partnership between Changsun Wuji and I. Our two joint ventures jointly develop the glass products business. We will share the money earned 40-60."
When Yuchi Jingde heard this, his face became a little ugly.
Glass products are his favorite and most profitable industry.
Unexpectedly, this kid Changsun Wuji took the lead.
"Mu Chuan, I know that the manufacturing method of this glass product is your patent. Changsun is just providing you with a sales channel, but he wants to occupy most of the shares, so be it! I will give you 30% of the share! As long as you
Cooperate with me, I only need 30%! How about it?"
Yuchi Jingde said.
Muchuan felt a little excited when he heard that Yuchi Jingde was willing to stay 30%.
When I first cooperated with Changsun Wuji, I mainly relied on Changsun Wuji’s relationship to sell glass products.
But the eldest son's family wanted to keep 60% of the share.
Now Yuchi Jingde is directly trying to steal Changsun Wuji's share, which makes Muchuan very difficult to handle.
But Yuchi Jingde's proposal is indeed very tempting.
If we can really cooperate with Yuchi Jingde, we can sell our glass products business at a higher price.
Muchuan's heart was moved.
"Okay, I agree to Lord Yuchi's request!"
Muchuan readily agreed.
Yuchi Jingde was also very happy when he heard Muchuan agreed to his conditions.
After all, getting this business genius like Muchuan is a good deal.
"But there is one thing, Master Yuchi, that I don't know what to do!"
Muchuan suddenly said again.
"oh?
Muchuan, what difficulties do you have?
Even so, I will definitely find a way to help you solve it."
Yuchi Jingde said.
"How can I explain it to Lord Changsun Wuji? After all, we have been cooperating with each other for a long time."
Muchuan said worriedly: "Master Yuchi, you also know that Master Changsun Wuji and I are allies, and Master Yuchi and Master Changsun are also friends. If the cooperation between our two families spreads, it will be detrimental to everyone!"
When Yuchi Jingde heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.
Muchuan told the truth, this is indeed a big problem.
This is prying!
If word spreads, it will be detrimental to one's reputation.
What's more, the Changsun family themselves can't afford to offend.
Not to mention that Changsun Wuji was the prime minister of the dynasty, Queen Changsun was also the queen closest to Li Shimin.
But Yuchi Jingde really didn't want to give up the fat in his mouth.
"Let's do this, I'll give you a solution that has the best of both worlds!"
Muchuan suddenly came up with an idea and said: "We can build a glass factory in Chang'an to specialize in making ordinary glass products. Today's glass products are mainly for ornamental purposes and are mainly exported overseas!"
"And the glass factory I built is to make ordinary glass products, glasses, room windows, etc. Master Yuchi, as long as you can monopolize the sales in Datang, the money you will make will be no less than that of the Changsun family!"
Muchuan's idea is very tempting.
Although Changsun Wuji's Liuli Factory is profitable, most of his factories are only exported overseas and are not sold domestically.
Muchuan actually asked Yuchi Jingde to popularize glass products!
Sold to ordinary families in the Tang Dynasty.
Yuchi Jingde's eyes lit up after hearing Muchuan's words.
He also knew that although those glass handicrafts were profitable, their output was insufficient.
If he listened to Muchuan's advice and built a glaze factory and monopolized the domestic sales, the money he would earn would definitely be far greater than that of Changsun Wuji.
"Mu Chuan, this plan you mentioned is good, I agree!"
Yuchi Jingde nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Yuchi Jingde agreed, Muchuan felt relieved that it was finally done.
