Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 133, Glass Factory
Liu Jin thought it would take Zhu Houzhao some time to raise money, at least a few days.

But who knows, the next day, when Liu Jin was still unable to get up under the bed, Zhu Houzhao found Liu Jin again, and lifted Liu Jin's bed again.

"Get up quickly, get up quickly."

Zhu Houzhao was holding a stack of bank notes in his hand, and he was in a hurry.

"I said, brother Zhu, can you not lift the quilt, it will seriously affect my mood for a day."

Very helpless, Liu Jin got up reluctantly. With Zhu Houzhao here, it was obviously impossible to continue to sleep in.

Looking at the things in Zhu Houzhao's hand, Liu Jin said: "You don't want to fool me with some precious banknotes. Let me tell you first, I don't want precious banknotes. Those things are too hard to use as toilet paper."

"Do you have any insight? This is a bank note. The bank note of the Four Seas Bank, a total of five thousand taels of silver, should be enough to build a glass workshop and buy a shop."

Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and shook the bank note in his hand.

"Five thousand taels of silver, well, that should be enough."

Liu Jin made a quick calculation in his mind. The purchasing power of five thousand taels of silver is naturally high in this era. It is enough to build another large-scale workshop, and it is also enough to buy a shop here in the capital to sell glass products. .

"Whoo~"

"It's enough, it's enough, otherwise I'm going to my father's study..."

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, he was immediately relieved, and then he talked to himself, and when he talked about it later, he seemed to realize that he had to stop quickly.

Then he put his hand on Liu Jin's shoulder and said, "Old Liu, this is five thousand taels of silver that I risked my life to get. You must earn some more money for me."

"Well, I don't have high requirements. It's about the same as Xishan Coal Industry every year. It's enough to give me a dividend of hundreds of thousands of taels a year."

"Cough cough~"

Liu Jin couldn't help coughing a few times and continued: "You treat this silver as a stone, hundreds of thousands of taels a year... Our Ming's treasury is only less than 300 million taels of silver taxes a year."

"In this way, there is no briquette for this glass to make money?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he suddenly lost his energy.

"Of course it's more profitable than honeycomb briquettes. Isn't it just hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year? Just wait and count the money. I'll let you count the money until your hands cramp."

Liu Jin smiled, immediately changed his face, and said very confidently.

"Haha, let me just say, everyone must like such a good thing as glass, how could it be better than briquettes?"

"In the future, I will be able to spend a lot of money, spend time, and be extravagant, depending on you, old Liu. Tsk tsk, I'm smart. I can tell at a glance that this glass must be very valuable."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately laughed happily, and then began to think about how to spend money in the future.

"When I have money, I must build a big garden, where I can run horses, and get some jackals, tigers and leopards. I have already thought about it. This garden is called the Leopard House."

"Leopard room?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Zhu Houzhao to have such an idea when he was very young in building a leopard house in history. Then he thought for a while and said, “Your house is not called a leopard house, but your house is called a zoo.”

"zoo?"

Zhu Houzhao touched his chin and said, "It's a good name, zoo, zoo, haha, let's call it zoo."

"Sure, there are wolves, tigers and leopards here. It's not a zoo. I think we can collect more animals and then open it to the public. Every person who enters will be charged a ticket of more than ten yuan. Do you believe it or not? , this zoo can earn hundreds of thousands of taels a year?"

Liu Jin shook his head slightly in his heart, this Zhu Houzhao is still very playful, he can only be induced, not forced.

"Tsk tsk, old Liu, what's in your head?"

"You can think of such a profitable business, don't tell me, if such a zoo is really created, it will definitely make money."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but looked at Liu Jin carefully again, and then said: "Well, it's called a zoo. I will collect all kinds of animals from the south, the sea and the north."

"As you said, pumas in the Americas, lions in Africa, elephants, crocodiles, etc., when the time comes to build a zoo, I will have to pay for the tickets."

"..."

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, Liu Jin shook his head helplessly.

With money, there is also technology. This person, Xishan is already overcrowded, and the briquettes produced every day can no longer be sold.

Liu Jin rowed tens of thousands of people directly from Xishan, and started to build a new large-scale glass factory in a place not far from Xishan Village.

The firing of this glass is not too technically difficult, as long as the raw materials and firing methods are mastered, it is impossible to fire glass. The most critical and core thing is to fire colorless glass.

Colorless glass is the most difficult thing. Europeans have a long history of firing glass, even dating back to the ancient Egyptian period, but the history of firing colorless glass is very short. Slowly summed up the technology of firing colorless glass.

If this glass wants to make money, it must be through exclusive trading to make money, there is no doubt about it.

At this time, there was very little Daming glass, and there were only a very small number of glass passed from Europe. Because of the small quantity, the price was extremely expensive, and even the name was Liuli, which shows how expensive this glass is.

This shows that in Daming, the glass market is a blank market, and Daming has a large population, and it is definitely the most powerful and rich country on earth in this period. In such a country, once the glass is produced, there will definitely be a lot of people. Wealth follows.

But in the same way, there will be many, many people who are jealous and want to get a share.

This is also the reason why Liu Jin chose to cooperate with Zhu Houzhao, because it is necessary to have a strong enough backing. The same backing alone is not enough, and it is necessary to firmly hold the glass, especially the colorless one. The technology of glass is in your own hands.

With this in mind, Liu Jin also started to get busy.

It is not easy to keep the glass manufacturing technology secret in this era, because those dignitaries are always pervasive, so it is necessary to carry out meticulous and in-depth design of all aspects of the glass factory, and make full use of the technological advantages that cannot be replaced by others. own wealth.

　Some book friends asked why it was not put on the shelf. In fact, it was all arranged by the editor. Another reason is that the grades are not good. The editor is arranging recommendations, and it should be on the shelf soon~
