Zhang Zhixin nodded and said: "Isn't it? I don't know what technology or materials were used in Dayi. Now it has a huge impact on our bronze mirror market in the Wei Dynasty."
Qin Yu asked doubtfully: "Does Zhang's Trading Company also deal in bronze mirrors?"
The control of copper in this era is very strict.
The bronze mirror business is not something that just anyone can do.
Zhang Zhixin shook his head, "It's not the business of our Zhang's Trading Company, but foreigner nephew, you have to know that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Zhang's Trading Company is now the largest trading house in the Wei Dynasty, and I, as the shopkeeper of the largest trading house in the Wei Dynasty, have appeared.
I should take care of this kind of thing, we can't just watch Dayi take all of Wei's money."
Xiao Nan asked doubtfully: "Uncle, isn't there no trade between our Wei Dynasty and Dayi?"
"Hi~"
Zhang Zhixin explained: "Nowadays, commerce in various countries has developed to a certain extent, so national borders cannot stop these merchants at all. As long as they think about it, they will have various channels to sell their goods. The key is that Dayi can appear and crush us."
The products of Dawei are a matter of face for us, Dawei."
Xiao Nan extended his thumb and said, "Uncle, my righteousness is unparalleled."
Qin Yu took the bronze mirror and studied it carefully. The polishing technology of this bronze mirror was indeed superb, but it seemed to be coated with something.
Xiao Nan frowned and said seriously: "Uncle, the quality of this bronze mirror is indeed very good. There is nothing to say about the key mirror. The clearer the silhouette of the person reflected, the better. His bronze mirror is better than the one in the palace. It is probably very good."
It’s hard to surpass.”
Zhang Zhixin patted his thigh, "Yes! I have asked someone to inquire about it, and the masters who make bronze mirrors are also at a loss what to do, so I came to ask Yu'er if there is any way."
Qin Yu asked lightly: "That's it?"
Zhang Zhixin was stunned and said doubtfully: "This...isn't this a big deal? This is a face problem of our Dawei. I, Zhang Zhixin, have always rushed goods to Dayi, and they have never rushed out the goods.
Pass!"
Xiao Nan asked doubtfully: "Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Zhixin explained: "Because we have no trade with Dayi, the goods of our Zhang's Trading Company are scarce in Dayi. I have spent a lot of effort to open up channels. When the goods arrive in Dayi, the profits will be directly transferred to Dayi."
ten times."
Xiao Nan looked shocked, "Is it so exaggerated? Profit increased tenfold?"
Zhang Zhixin nodded, "Things are rare and valuable, and the people who like the products of Zhang's Trading Company are all the dignitaries of Dayi Kingdom, so the sales are very good. In order to win this reputation, we can't let Dayi sell the goods to our country."
summer."
Xiao Nan gave a thumbs up and said, "Uncle, a businessman has done your job well."
Zhang Zhixin puffed out his chest and said, "That's necessary."
Qin Yu: "..."
He felt very speechless. Xiao Nan and Zhang Zhixin actually had a business relationship with each other.
But Zhang Zhixin is still very patriotic now, and he often donates money to the court on weekdays.
He still understands this aspect of human nature very well.
Therefore, Emperor Wei also took great care of Zhang Zhixin.
Immediately afterwards.
Zhang Zhixin looked at Qin Yu and asked: "My nephew, please continue, do you really have a solution?"
Qin Yu said calmly: "It's a piece of cake."
Zhang Zhixin asked doubtfully: "Do you also have research on bronze mirrors?"
Xiao Nan also looked at Qin Yu in surprise.
Qin Yu shook his head, "I haven't done any research on bronze mirrors."
Zhang Zhixin: "..."
Xiao Nan: "..."
Looking at the two of them speechless.
Qin Yu said: "Although I have not studied bronze mirrors, I have studied mirrors. Although the quality of this bronze mirror is not bad, it is really not good enough in my eyes."
Xiao Nan held up the bronze mirror and looked at Qin Yu in surprise, "Brother-in-law, a bronze mirror with this clarity cannot be put on the table?"
Zhang Zhixin was also very confused, "My nephew, I don't quite understand what you are saying. You have not studied bronze mirrors, but you have studied mirrors. What... does this mean?"
Qin Yu looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you know what is the best material for making mirrors?"
Xiao Nan raised the bronze mirror in his hand, "No...isn't it copper?"
Qin Yu shook his head, "Of course not. The best material for making mirrors is glass."
Glass?
Xiao Nan and Zhang Zhixin looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
They really couldn't think of any connection between glass and mirrors.
Zhang Zhixin asked in confusion: "Then how good is the mirror you made from glass?"
Qin Yu said lightly: "The clarity is probably a hundred and eighty times better than this bronze mirror."
"What!?"
Xiao Nan looked shocked, "One hundred? One hundred and eighty times?! This...is this too exaggerated?"
Zhang Zhixin was also a little confused, "My nephew, are you kidding me?"
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, "Why would I lie to you with such a thing? Isn't it just to research a mirror that is better than this bronze mirror? Just leave it to me."
Other things don't work.
This matter hit Qin Yu on the back of his hand.
Zhang Zhixin naturally knew Qin Yu's ability, otherwise he would not have come to Qin Yu, and then said: "Okay, nephew, then this matter depends on you."
Qin Yu took over the matter.
Zhang Zhixin was naturally very happy, and then waved his hand and said: "Keep playing music, keep dancing!"
Finally came to the East Palace once.
Zhang Zhixin plans to play here for a while. The dancing skills of the dancers here are much better than those of Jiaofangsi.
He really envied Qin Yu's life, which was like a fairy's life.
However, Zhang Zhixin also knew that Qin Yu had gained this in exchange for his ability.
Furthermore, if it were not for Qin Yu, his Zhang's Trading Company would probably be in ruins. How could he become the number one shopkeeper in the world?
Ritual music played in the hall, and a group of dancers danced gracefully.
Xiao Nan looked at Qin Yu and asked, "By the way, brother-in-law, are the pigs we raise going to be slaughtered soon?"
Qin Yu was stunned and nodded, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. Let's hold a whole pig feast someday and let you taste that pork is actually the most fragrant."
Xiao Nan was drooling as he listened, "Great, great..."
The pigs raised in the East Palace are fat, big, and covered with fat.
If you can use pork instead of mutton, you will save a lot of money.
The Three Thousand Battalion was divided into two groups, the Black Cavalry and the Mo Daowei. Each one was like a wolf or a tiger, and each one was more capable of eating than the other. Xiao Nan was really about to be overwhelmed.
Qin Yu drank wine and wrote a list and handed it to Deng Bao, "I have all these things ready. I will use them tomorrow."
Zhang Zhixin has come to visit, Qin Yu must take care of this matter.
Deng Bao hurriedly took the order and said, "Yes, Prince Consort."
