After three years of enfeoffment, the waste prince shocked the court boss

Liu Lin continued.

"The following are the first batch of products to show you, all kinds of glass products from my Lingnan Prefecture glass workshop." After Liu Lin finished speaking, he saw ten graceful [-]-year-old women each holding a wooden tray Come on stage.

For some unknown reason, there was a bright light refracted from the top of the entire high platform, and it was projected onto each wooden plate lifted.

The people below could see that there were glazed products of different shapes on each tray, shining brightly and dazzingly under the light.

"Aren't these colored glazes? Why does Mr. Liu call them glass?" Someone whispered from below.

"Looking at the exquisite workmanship of these glazed products, and they are crystal clear, they are extraordinary at first glance, and one piece is priceless. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see so many at one time." A knowledgeable giant exclaimed. .

"At the annual banquet in the palace a few days ago, I saw the glazed Buddha statue presented to His Majesty by His Highness the Crown Prince. These glazed treasures are comparable to that one!" said a dignitary sitting in the front row.

"I just heard from Liu Neighbor that these things are all produced in Lingnan Prefecture. Could it be that Lingnan Prefecture discovered the colored glaze mine?" A businessman speculated.

"Everyone, these glass products are not glazed glass as everyone thinks, but named glass by my prince. They are made by skilled craftsmen in Lingnan Prefecture. Judging from the current output, small-scale mass production can already be achieved." Liu Neighbor seemed to see the doubts of the people below, and explained.

"It turned out to be artificially fired! It can be mass-produced! Isn't that..." Everyone in the audience discussed and had different thoughts for a while.

For the powerful and wealthy businessmen, these exquisite products, no matter whether they are called colored glaze or glass, are definitely treasures that everyone loves.

If it can be mass-produced, wouldn't everyone here have the opportunity to put one or two pieces at home for fun?

You must know that there is no colored glaze in Dagan. The colored glaze products that are spread in Dagan are all imported from the Western Regions or overseas, and the price is high. It is hard to find one. To have such a treasure is definitely a status symbol.

At this moment, some people couldn't sit still: "I don't know how much these glass products sell for, can you sell one to Ben Hou?"

Chapter 10 Crazy

This person is Marquis Wu'an, who was hereditary. His father followed the first emperor to conquer the world and established the Qian Kingdom.

Now he is the second generation, and his family has accumulated countless wealth.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. After this exhibition, we will postpone the exhibition for three days for the people of the capital to visit. At that time, some products will be sold." Liu Lin laughed.

"However, Liu can reveal the price of the glass products to everyone in advance. The glass products brought this time are about a hundred taels of silver for a single piece, and the complete set of glass products will not exceed a thousand taels. Come first. First serve." Liu Lin added.

After speaking, everyone below stared at the glass products on the stage with fiery eyes.

One hundred taels of silver is the expenditure of ordinary people in the capital for several years, but to everyone here, it is just a drop in the bucket.

One must know that the colored glaze products circulated in the outside world do not start at a thousand taels, and ten thousand gold is hard to find. These things only cost a hundred taels, which is no different from giving away for free!

The businessmen in the back row thought far-reachingly, and they also saw that Wang An's purpose of holding this fair was to promote Lingnan's products.

In business and business, no businessman would make a loss-making business. Since Wang An dared to sell it for a hundred taels, it means that the cost of this thing is not high, and the profit contained in it is self-evident.

And Emperor Qian, who was sitting on the second floor, was bleeding from the heart.

One hundred taels of silver, doesn't this mean that the glazed Buddha statue he got from the prince a few days ago has greatly depreciated now?

"I haven't had time to make a move yet! Why can't this rebellious son tell me in advance!" Emperor Qian murmured.

The great eunuch Wang Quan behind him looked at his nose and heart, pretending he didn't hear anything.

"Okay, everyone, let's take a look at the second product, a mirror made by my Lingnan Mansion." Liu Lin continued.

Then came a few women.

Then the people below saw that a row of mirrors of different shapes and sizes were reflecting the faces of the people below the stage, erected on the stage.

The mirror next to Liu Lin is the biggest, as tall as a person.

Liu Lin's body was reflected in the mirror, and everyone in the audience seemed to see two identical Liu Lin standing on the stage.

"This mirror is too clear!"

"Compared with the bronze mirror at home, it's nothing like mud!"

"If it is seen by the shrewd wife at home, otherwise you must cry and get it!"

The people below are very well-informed, and they were also shocked by the mirror in front of them at this time.

This kind of shock comes from the life experience that they have never seen in the past few decades. This is the first time they have seen such a clear mirror, and it is also the first time they have discovered that there are mirrors in the world that can be seen completely.

This is far more shocking than seeing those glass products. After all, although glazed products are rare, all of you here are well-informed people, and you have never seen them before. Some people even have one or two pieces in their homes. , although the quality is not as good as those in Lingnan Prefecture.

Liu Lin quietly looked at the astonishment of the audience on the stage, and when they finished their discussion, he said, "This glass mirror is made by our Lingnan Prefecture. It is also made of glass and processed by a special process. The copper mirror used is better."

"The personal mirror behind me is the largest mirror that can be made by the craftsmanship of my Lingnan Prefecture. The price is 1000 taels of silver."

"In addition, there are mirrors of different sizes, such as one foot, two feet high, and even the size of a palm. The price ranges from several hundred, dozens to one tael."

The 1000 taels of personal mirrors are indeed a bit expensive for most people, but those mirrors with a smaller size appear to be of high quality and low price.

For the merchants in the back row, Lingnan Mansion provides mirrors of various sizes and shapes, which means that various products can be provided according to market demand, which is very beneficial for them to sell.

All of a sudden, whether it is a dignitary who wants to buy a mirror to go home to please his wife or concubine, or a businessman who wants to buy a mirror for sale, his eyes are fiery.

"This bastard didn't say he gave me a few mirrors, but he brought dozens of carts of goods to Beijing, but he only gave me those three seeds? This bastard!" Emperor Qian said angrily in the private room.

"The third product to be displayed next is called soap, which is a cleanser similar to saponin. You can experience it yourself." Liu Lin beckoned, and a row of maids held up basins, holding a piece of lard, and Bars of soap shuttled among the crowd.

Following the maid's demonstration, everyone first soiled their hands with lard, and then smeared soap to clean their hands, and they all cried out in surprise.

"This soap has such a strong cleansing power!"

Liu Lin on the stage said: "This thing can be used to wash hands, face, bathe, shampoo, and do laundry. Each piece is only priced at [-] Wen."

When Liu Lin announced the price, everyone in the audience felt that it was too cheap.

You must know that the decontamination products made of saponins specially prepared by Wangfang of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine are all sold for a tael of silver, and are specially sold to the dignitaries of the capital, and you need to queue up to buy them. I don’t know that the decontamination ability of this soap is better than that. How many times, the price is only one hundred yuan.

……

"Let's look at it again, these are the fine wines brewed by my Lingnan Prefecture, namely General Drunk, Taibai Drunk and Guifei Drunk." Liu Lin continued.

Then I saw a row of maids place three small bottles of wine on the tables of the audience, each with the labels of General Drunk, Taibai Drunk and Imperial Concubine Drunk.

According to the maid's instructions, everyone began to taste the imperial concubine drunk, then Taibai drunk, and finally the general drunk.

Each of the three kinds of wine was stronger than the other, and everyone even exclaimed that they had never drunk such a mellow spirit.

Compared with the wine I drank before, it was like drinking water, it was bland and tasteless, and I don't know how I drank it before.

Even the weakest Guifeizui is much more mellow than the hard-to-find bamboo sake.

There are literati and military generals in the audience. The literati prefer Taibai to be drunk, while the warriors prefer the general to be drunk.

As for the wife and daughter who wanted to come to the house when the imperial concubine was drunk, she should like it more.

The wealthy businessmen in the audience lamented that there must be a master in Lingnan Mansion, otherwise, both the mirror and the spirits are products that are provided according to the needs of different groups of people, which is simply killer!

Stimulated by the liquor, the atmosphere in the venue became more enthusiastic, and everyone in the audience even began to urge Liu Lin to quickly bring out the next good thing.

Everyone now has great expectations for Lingnan Mansion's products, and they are all waiting for Lingnan Mansion to come up with more good things to open their eyes to them.

Afterwards, Liu Lin lived up to everyone's expectations, and took out more than a dozen things that no one had seen before, and introduced them one by one.

So far, how can everyone not understand why Lingnan Mansion is so rich?With so many rare treasures and eye-catching products, it's hard for Lingnan Prefecture not to be rich!

"Finally, on behalf of His Royal Highness An Wang, I would like to welcome everyone to come to our Lingnan Mansion for business cooperation and exchanges. I believe that Lingnan Mansion and everyone can achieve a win-win situation!"

"Win-win? It's a good word. It seems that Lingnan Mansion really needs to go and have a look."

This is the thought of many people in the audience at the moment.

Chapter 11 The Sour Emperor Qian

The effect of the fair was surprisingly good as Li Su expected.

After the fair was over, many dignitaries came to Liu Neighbor to reserve some of the goods for sale for their own homes. Many people were afraid that they would not be able to grab them later.

There are also many businessmen around Liu Neighbor to inquire whether they can sell these products as agents and discuss cooperation.

And Liu Lin dealt with these people with ease, making everyone feel very satisfied.

And from the beginning to the end, Li Su didn't show up at the venue. He had seen this kind of scene where he could amaze everyone with just one thing in the past three years, and he had already lost interest.

Unsurprisingly, during the three days after the postponement, Qing'an Building was completely surrounded, and the people of the capital were most fond of joining in the fun.

What's more, what Lingnan Prefecture brought this time were things they had never heard of, which naturally attracted a large number of people to visit.

And businessmen, large and small, in the capital are also evaluating how much profit they can get if they can transport these commodities to Lingnan Prefecture.

As for the products displayed in Qing'an Tower, they were also snapped up by the dignitaries and giants of the capital.

In particular, the mirror that illuminates people is extremely popular with women, and it is hard to find a mirror.

The female family members of two viscounts even confronted each other in the street for the last palm-sized mirror, but they were cut off by another female family member of the Marquis family who was passing by, and became a hot topic in the capital for a while.

And the spirits produced by the Lingnan Mansion were almost sold by the dignitaries of the capital. Occasionally, a few bottles flowed into the hands of common people and wealthy businessmen, but they were also hidden.

Xu Anyan, a well-known talent in the capital, attended a private banquet hosted by Zhang Yuan, the son of the Minister of Rites. He was lucky enough to taste a cup of Taibaizui that Zhang Yuan stole from his father. He wrote ten poems for Taibaizui directly, which became a good story .

However, afterwards, it is said that Zhang Yuan was hung up and beaten by his father, Minister of Rites, Zhang Lian. This is a later story.

According to calculations by those who are interested, King An can get 20 taels of silver just for the products sold at the Lingnan Mansion Fair.

As soon as this figure was revealed, everyone in the capital was shocked by Wang An's ability to raise money.

No wonder the soldiers in Lingnan Mansion are so rich, no wonder King An can raise such an elite cavalry, this is really making money every day.

The annual tax revenue of Daqian treasury is only 1000 million taels of silver. If it is sold several times, it will definitely be rich enough to rival the country.

Emperor Qian was even more sour, because the information he got was more accurate. Li Su sold the goods not for 20 taels, but for 27 taels.

Why can he know so clearly?It's not that he got it from Li Su's biological mother Concubine Liu.

Ever since he found out that Li Su had changed, Emperor Qian often went to Concubine Liu's palace recently, and asked Concubine Liu some things about Li Su's childhood, which can be regarded as making up for his lack of childhood for this son.

Any troubles in the harem can't be concealed from the concubines and eunuchs in the harem. Emperor Qian often visits Concubine Liu recently, and is naturally regarded by everyone as a signal that Concubine Cheng Liu is favored.

Therefore, Concubine Liu had a much more comfortable life in the harem during this time than before, and even the queen called her "sister" and "sister".

In the past, Li Su was ridiculed by other concubines because of his incompetence. Some time ago, some concubines who felt that they had offended Concubine Liu took the initiative to ease the relationship.

In the past, the female officer in charge of carbon respect in the palace also watched people order food, and often the incense charcoal allocated to Concubine Liu's palace would be cut up by other favored concubines, but now the incense charcoal in Concubine Liu's palace has never been cut off. Pass.

In the harem, the mother is valued by the son, and the mother is honored by the son.

Back then Li Su was ineffective, anyone would dare to step on Concubine Liu, but now Li Su, everyone knows that he must be soaring into the sky, and Concubine Liu, the birth mother, naturally rose to the top.

Now Concubine Liu's bedroom seems to be a miniature version of the Lingnan Commodities Fair branch venue. There is a large mirror as tall as a person. There are only three sides in the entire capital outside, and Concubine Liu's dressing table stands in front of one side.

Soap is hard to come by, and there is a whole box of soap in the corner of Concubine Liu's palace at this time, even Concubine Liu's close maids and eunuchs have one.

The spirits produced in Lingnan Mansion are sold by the bottle outside, and a bottle is no more than two taels, but there are ten jars here, and one jar is ten catties.

Now even the tea set used for drinking water in Concubine Liu's palace has been replaced with glass ones. One must know that outside, this set of glass tea sets is worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

Naturally, these things were brought in by Li Su's order. Those who are poor can't suffer their mothers, and those who are poor can't poor their mothers and concubines.

Concubine Liu had borrowed 4000 taels of silver from Li Su's natal family three years ago to send Li Su to the fief. Now Li Su directly stuffed Concubine Liu with a banknote of 3 taels of silver.

Emperor Qian felt sour when he saw the scene in front of him.

"You son of a bitch, you don't know how to send me something, so I only got ten bottles of wine."

Concubine Liu has been in the palace for so many years, she has naturally developed the ability to observe words and expressions, how could she fail to see Emperor Qian's food taste.

But Concubine Liu also had a lot of resentment towards Emperor Qian. Although Li Su was indeed a bit of a dandy back then, Emperor Qian didn't show any kindness and sent Li Su to a remote place like Lingnan Mansion. The separation lasted three years.

Moreover, when Li Su left, he was lonely, and he even borrowed money so that Li Su would not go to the fiefdom empty-handed. Your Qiandi didn't say to reward more money.

Therefore, Concubine Liu didn't give Emperor Qian a good look in the past three years.

Now that Li Su is back, he has become so promising again, Concubine Liu's anger has almost disappeared, and she even feels a little relieved, so she has become more magnanimous, besides helping Li Su in front of Emperor Qian Leaving a good impression was also what Concubine Liu expected.

"Your Majesty, when Su'er gave me these things, he said that His Majesty also had a share. Your Majesty took some of the spirits and soap back, and the ministers and concubines of the province sent someone to deliver them to His Majesty. It was considered a favor for the ministers and concubines." Concubine Liu said with a smile.

"Okay then, I'll just let someone take some back." Emperor Qian said proudly.

Concubine Liu rolled her eyes in her heart.

"Your Majesty takes care of state affairs. Su'er was 14 years old when he went to the fiefdom three years ago, and now he is 17 years old. He has not yet married a wife. Is it possible that Su'er is going to die alone?" Concubine Liu couldn't remember Li Su's words when she saw Emperor Qian. Marriage problem, reminded somewhat sadly.

"It turned out to be this matter. I remember what happened when I saw Su'er a few days ago and wondered whether to send him to the fiefdom. It turned out that he forgot to give it to Princess Qi." what's up.

"Oh, this matter is indeed my negligence. I will immediately send someone to arrange for Su'er to choose a concubine. I must choose a gentle and decent woman for Su'er." Emperor Qian promised.

After all, this matter was indeed his negligence. Three years ago, he should have married Li Su and then let him become a vassal, but he didn't mention it. Both ignored it.

As the 17-year-old unmarried prince, Li Su is definitely the only one in the big business.
