"I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that this porcelain that looks like it when heated can actually make so much money. I'm so rich." Meng Hong counted the banknotes. He couldn't believe that it was just a piece of porcelain. Even if it was heated, it could produce a pattern. , this is sold for a bit too much money.
Uncle He and Qi Yi were writing to calculate the amount of gold, silver and materials to be exchanged. Seeing Meng Hong talking to himself all the time, they couldn't help it and said: "Meng Baihu, if you are too idle, Just come over and settle accounts with us.
Meng Hong: "Who said I'm idle? I'm recuperating now. After the banquet, I have to rush back to Duchonggou to apologize to Uncle Jiang. He's not allowed to take advantage of me for causing such a big trouble. Skin? I still have a lot of trouble to eat. You can settle the accounts yourself and don't look for me."
When he and Zheng'an were studying at the Shen family, what they hated most was the nine-chapter arithmetic. It was a headache to learn, and he didn't want to do the accounting work.
but
Master Qi, Uncle He, you have to be more accurate in your calculations, otherwise we will suffer a loss if the supplies are short.
Uncle He said: "Materials are relatively expensive nowadays. We have promised those families who are willing to exchange items for porcelain. As long as they are willing to exchange items, we will charge them 20% less silver."
Meng Hong felt distressed after hearing this. He held the small box containing the banknotes and said, "Twenty percent less? Is it too much?! Those sick and wounded soldiers all have old diseases and have to take medicine all year round. Once they leave, We can no longer receive supplies from the big camp, we have to take care of them for the rest of our lives, and we have to collect more money, otherwise we wont be able to support them.
Uncle He: "Porcelain trading is a lifelong process, and when doing business, we must give some benefits to the buyers, so that we can keep the flow of water and let them take care of our business."
After Meng Hong heard this, he stopped talking. He only knew how to fight and act mischievously, but he didn't know how to do business. Let Uncle He and the others take care of business matters.
He turned his head, looked at Qi Yi, moved closer to him, and asked: "Master Qi, when the golden dragon porcelain basin and the harvest cup are delivered to the capital, His Majesty will definitely be overjoyed to see them. Is it because he likes them too much?" So, just ask Qingniu Mountain Porcelain Kiln for the secret recipe, or ask Lao Lu to leave, or just be more ruthless and directly take over Qingniushan Porcelain Kiln and make it an official kiln?!"
The more Meng Hong talked about it, the more he felt it was possible. After all, Emperor Jingyuan had a different mind from ordinary people and loved to do shocking things.
Qi Yi frowned and looked at Meng Hong: "Meng Baihu, you must know that trouble comes from your mouth. If you continue to speak so openly, even if General Jiang is protecting you, you will still suffer."
Then he said: "Don't worry, I have already received a letter from His Majesty, telling him the benefits of having the Qingniu Mountain Porcelain Kiln in your hands, and he will not have any ideas about your Porcelain Kiln... Your Majesty will not be more impulsive on the matter of exterminating the Rong." , there are still considerations for other things, and things are getting better now, so you dont have to worry."
Ah, bah, its slowly getting better?
Then why doesnt he give us more supplies? We are short of everything, even salt.
Bang, Uncle He slammed the table, raised his head and said to Meng Hong: "Meng Baihu, do you want to die? You are being disrespectful!"
Then he said to Qi Yi: "Don't be surprised, Mr. Qi. Meng Baihu is used to being outspoken. Don't take it to heart."
After speaking, he tapped Meng Hong in the air with his pen and warned him, please be careful, he will write to Emperor Jingyuan and tell him to chop you down.
Qi Yi said: "Don't worry, Manager Zhong, I won't write such private jokes in secret letters."
Meng Hong pretended to be crazy in the end. After hearing this, he took the opportunity to ask: "What about other things? Did Mr. Qi write it?"
You are not a villain behind the appearance of a gentleman. You have already written a secret letter to sue them, right?
Qi Yi said: "Meng Baihu, you are overthinking. I am not that disgusting. I will not do anything to make friends with you and then sue you."
Then he explained to Meng Hong: "Since the drought in the northwest eight years ago, disasters have continued in various parts of Dachu, and materials are in short supply. The south is fertile and rich, so it is better. But your majesty has already asked for a lot of gold, silver, food and medicine from the south. Even the troops, I have tried my best to send you people and supplies... Just grit your teeth and hold on, after all, food, medicine and other supplies take time to grow. If we wait until the harvest this fall, everything will be fine."
Everything is fine?
Meng Honghehehe, he thinks this is just Qi Yis ambition. "Sir, Manager Dai is here again. He said he wants to buy an additional set of porcelain and give him ten thousand gold!" Master Tao shouted loudly as soon as he stepped into the courtyard door of Qi Yi's office to remind the three people in the room that he This outsider is here. If you are whispering something, stop it immediately.
"What?" Meng Hong rushed out of the house in shock and asked, "Master Potter, what are you talking about? The Dai family used gold to buy porcelain again? Didn't his family already buy a pair of porcelain that becomes photogenic when heated? You want to buy another set, are you crazy and want to give us your family wealth?"
He felt a little guilty about killing just one member of the Dai family.
Master Tao smiled and said: "Meng Baihu heard it right. The Dai family really wants to buy another set of porcelain that turns into a phase when heated. Now they are already looking for a painter to draw a picture. They said the picture will be delivered tomorrow."
Those who buy porcelain that exhibits a phase when exposed to heat will be given a picture. Qingniushan Porcelain Kiln will make a pattern that exhibits phase when exposed to heat based on the painting given by each shop.
Not long after, the two entered the house, and Qi Yi asked: "Didn't we agree that each household can only customize once, and only after this batch is completed can they start the second customization? And ten thousand yuan is not a small amount. Look, if the Dai family buys this way, something will happen."
Master Tao said: "The pair of porcelain last time was given to Dai Shangshu, and this time the December porcelain incense burner was given to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift. Please help us... Dai Shangshu also said that they can barter for things. , it is up to the Qingniushan Porcelain Kiln to decide what to exchange for."
This is so attractive that Qi Yi, Uncle He and Meng Hong were all moved.
Meng Hong said: "Take it, we'll take it!"
Materials are more valuable than gold and silver, and they accept any business that is willing to barter.
But Qi Yi said: "I can accept it, but the previous porcelain wine bottles have to be cancelled. We can only make one set of two sets of porcelain. We can't break the rules, and we can't make people hate the Dai family."
Although Dai Shangshu is not good, he still has some conscience and is good to the soldiers. He will not withhold credit or materials. If the Dai family offends others and Dai Shangshu's position is not guaranteed, another new Minister of the Ministry of War will be replaced. Who knows if the new person is a bad guy?
If you are a bad person, the soldiers who are fighting will be the ones who suffer the hardships, and the ones who will be harmed are Da Chu and your Majesty's country.
Meng Hong was puzzled: "Why? Can't the two sets be connected together?"
Qi Yi said: "A set of porcelain worth ten thousand gold, even if the Dai family has ancestral property to support it, but a military official spends twenty thousand gold to buy things at one time. When the military salary is not enough, it will lead to disaster."
Uncle He nodded: "Master Qi is right, let's do it like this. We will only sell the Dai family a set of porcelain. Let the Dai family choose whether they want a wine bottle or a December porcelain incense burner."
"Sure, I'll go ask the Dai family right away." Master Tao went out to deliver the message.
The Dai family quickly gave the right answer: "I want a porcelain incense burner for December."
The birthday ceremony of the Queen Mother is much more important than the birthday of Dai Shangshu.
Qi Yi agreed, and after being busy at noon, he asked people to prepare a banquet: "Let's have a good meal and send Meng Baihu off. This time back to Duchonggou, Meng Baihu will have to work hard."
Meng Hong was used to being beaten. He was not afraid at all. He just ate the meat and said with a smile: "Put your heart in your stomach, I won't die!"
