Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 154 The money-making thing is here

The people arranged by Qin Xiedao caught a lot of fish in Qujiang Pond for several days in a row.

This caused the price of fish in Chang'an City to plummet immediately.

Compared with grass carp raised in fish ponds, the cost of fish caught directly in Qujiang Pond must be much lower.

Even if it is sold at half the market price, it can make a lot of money.

At least, there is absolutely no problem in exchanging a catty of unslaughtered fish for a catty of corn.

This made the people who had been watching the excitement immediately become depressed.

"Lang Jun, that Qin Xiedao just got shit luck this time, otherwise how could he solve this problem so smoothly."

Wang Zhongqi, the shopkeeper of Wang's tea shop, expressed her opinion to Wang Kun in a depressed mood.

"Right now, the various workshops of the Qin family are progressing rapidly, not only the cement has been formally mass-produced, but also those green bricks, glazed tiles, etc. have also been produced.

In Chang'an City, there are many people who are willing to provide gravel and sand.

It seems that the construction progress of this new palace is faster than we thought. "

Wang Kun's mentality is stronger than Wang Zhongqi's.

"Although Qin Xiedao got off to a good start, the money he raised is likely to be spent soon. When he has no money to buy materials, no matter how many fish he can catch to feed the artisans, it will be useless .”

"We can think of this principle so easily, there is no reason why Qin Xiedao can't think of it.

You arrange a few more people to work on the construction site of the new palace and inquire about the news.

I think this matter should not be that simple. "

The construction of a palace naturally requires more manpower.

Now that all the refugees outside the city had been recruited to work on the construction site, it couldn't be easier for each noble family to place a few spies in the construction site.

Fortunately, Qin Xiedao didn't care about it.

……

"Keming, I heard that the fish pond in your house hasn't sold fish for a while?"

After the court meeting was over, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui walked out together.

"The price of fish in Chang'an City has fallen too exaggeratedly in the past few days. If you catch fish from the pond now, it is a loss-making business.

So after the housekeeper told me, I agreed. "

Du Ruhui explained from the side a little depressed.

"I didn't expect Xie Dao to do it so casually, and it would eventually affect your family's livelihood."

Fang Xuanling was also very speechless.

Although he was not the person involved, he didn't know what to say when the Du family encountered this situation.

During this period of time, Fang Yiai followed Qin Xiedao every day, and was more active than anyone else in fishing.

"I heard that apart from Qin Xiedao taking people to fish on the first day, your family's Erlang, Cheng's family, and Yuchi's family are all leading people to work."

As soon as Du Ruhui said this, Fang Xuanling immediately felt a little embarrassed.

"My family's widow, it's really frustrating, and now I can't control it."

……

"Lang Jun, good news, the glass workshop has burnt out what you said."

People are happy when they are happy.

In the past few days, Qin Xiedao happily went to Xuanwumen to sign in every day, brushing up all kinds of skills.

360 lines, line by line out of the champion.

Qin Xiedao, who has been signed in Xuanwumen for more than half a year, is already an expert in many industries.

Now, although he no longer has such an urgency to go to Xuanwumen to sign in, he is used to going there every day.

At least when people are in Chang'an City, they have to check in every day.

"Huh? Made the glass? Come on, let's go and have a look."

When Qin Xiedao heard Ma Zhou's words, he immediately became excited.

Although glass is a thing of bad street in later generations, but for Datang, it is definitely a rare treasure.

The funds for the construction of the new palace are counting on glass to make some contributions.

"It has been made, sir, the glass you mentioned is exactly the same as crystal.

It's just that I didn't expect that a pile of sand can be burned into crystals, which is really beyond my expectation. "

Ma Zhou now looks at Qin Xiedao's eyes with more and more admiration.

Now that Qin Xiedao said that he could turn a pile of shit into a pile of gold, Ma Zhou was willing to believe it.

"The composition of crystal is no different from that of sand.

But this time we were able to successfully fire the glass. The confidentiality level of this glass workshop must be improved.

All glass workshop craftsmen try their best to live in the area built near the workshop, and they have to emphasize the importance of confidentiality to everyone every now and then.

Of course, it is also very necessary to appropriately improve the treatment of glass workshop craftsmen.

The elementary school and primary school opened by the "Datang News" can be expanded appropriately, or some branch schools can be opened so that the children of glass workshop craftsmen can enroll for free. "

Qin Xiedao has a very deep understanding of the wealth behind the invention of glass.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already emphasized to these craftsmen the importance of secrecy.

Not to mention talking to people outside, even the mother-in-law at home is not allowed to talk about things in the workshop, otherwise we can have very strict punishment measures. "

Ma Zhou obviously paid more attention to the secrecy of technology than Qin Xiedao.

There is no problem with the word "Zi broom cherishing oneself" when it was used by most people in ancient times.

Ma Zhou is no exception.

"Well, both kindness and strength, in addition to the glass workshop, some of our other workshops will have similar situations to deal with.

By the way, it will be of great use to me when you arrange someone to buy a batch of silver ingots later. "

Now that the glass has been made, the mirror cannot be ignored.

Since ancient times, women's money is the best earned.

For Datang, both men and women have long hair.

For everyone, mirrors are just needed.

At least for noble and wealthy merchants, mirrors are just what men, women and children need.

However, bronze mirrors are generally used in the Tang Dynasty now, and only rich people can afford them.

Although the specular reflection effect of a good copper mirror is also very good, the price is equally high and scary.

After all, the material of the bronze mirror itself is copper, which is money.

If you want to process the copper surface, the cost will not be much lower than the material itself.

In addition, people's bronze mirror shops also need to make money, so the price of bronze mirrors can be imagined.

Since copper mirrors with less than ideal effects are sold so expensive, isn't it normal that glass mirrors with higher mirror effects will be sold at a high price?
"No problem, I'll arrange someone to do it later. But, Mr. Lang, after our crystals are produced, what should we use to make them?"
