Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 160
"Aye, have you heard about the crystal mirror?"

After a few days of fermentation, the business of Crystal Palace was in a mess.

Accompanied by that, the business of Gaoji Bronze Mirror Shop plummeted.

"Is this what you're holding?"

Changsun Wuji had obviously heard the relevant news.

In fact, anyone who follows the "Datang Daily" cannot miss this news.

Although Gaoji Bronze Mirror Shop is very grand, it has contracted the advertising space of "Datang Daily" for nearly half a month.

But why can't you hold back other people's crystal mirrors and appear in newspapers with you in the form of news reports.

Now, because of the bronze mirror shop, the Gao family is going to become a joke among the nobles in Chang'an City.

"Yes, it's this crystal mirror. Objectively speaking, it's better than any bronze mirror in the mansion. But it's easy to break. Once it falls to the ground, it's basically useless."

As Chang Sun Chong spoke, he took out a mirror from the sandalwood box.

"Hey, Uncle's family is also unlucky this time, they encountered the crystal mirror made by Qin Xiedao.

Objectively speaking, then Qin Xiedao should not have gone specifically for the Gaoji Bronze Mirror Shop, but in the end it was the uncle's house that suffered the most serious losses. "

The eldest grandson Wuji lived in Gao Shilian's house when he was a child, so he still has a very good relationship with this uncle.

The Bronze Mirror Shop is the main source of profit for the Gao family. After being tormented by the crystal mirror, it is obvious that there is no way to do business in the future.

Not to mention how big the long-term loss will be in the future, the current inventory in the warehouse alone is enough for the Gao family to drink a pot.

Bronze mirrors that took countless people to make may only be sold as copper ingots in the end.

It's like you spend a lot of money on books and end up as waste paper.

That loss was really not that big.

Although it can't be said that the vitality of the Gao family will be seriously injured, it will definitely make the Gao family feel pain.

"This Qin Xiedao is really, what's wrong with him, he just went to make mirrors. Isn't this not giving other mirror workshops a way out?"

Changsun Chong had a problem with Qin Xiedao.

At the time of the Qujiang Poetry Association, if Qin Xiedao hadn't made trouble, he felt that even if he didn't get No.1, he could still have a good name.

"This crystal mirror, I suspect that the Qin family must have some unique technology that can directly make crystals and then process them into mirrors.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have so many crystals for them to process into mirrors.

Chong'er, if the conjecture of the father is true, then the crystal mirror is definitely a good business with huge profits.

You can see how to arrange it so that people can sneak into the Qin family's workshop and see how to get the crystal making process. "

Changsun Wuji has obviously realized the money-making effect of the crystal mirror.

Even if he doesn't know the cost of glass, he can deduce something from various sources.

"Well, I'm already making arrangements!"

……

"Oh!"

"Qin Xiedao, I, Gao Jin, are at odds with him!"

In the Gao family's mansion, Gao Jin smashed the whole room to pieces in a panic.

As soon as this crystal mirror came out, the business of Gaoji Bronze Mirror Shop plummeted immediately.

Not only can’t sell the goods every day, but also face customers who come out from time to time and ask for returns.

When did Gao Jin experience such aggrieved feeling?

"Lang Jun, this Qin Xiedao is really too much. Since the processing difficulty of the crystal mirror is so high, they can set the price a little higher, stagger it from us, and sell their own.

But he chose almost the same price as us, isn't it just to keep our bronze mirrors from being sold?
It stands to reason that our Gao family doesn't have any enmity with their Yiguo government, he is purely harming others and himself. "

The business in the shop has become like this, so Gao Peng will naturally throw the blame crazily.

Otherwise what should he do?
Do you admit that you are not capable enough?

"Obviously they are going to open the Crystal Palace, but the "Datang Daily" is willing to advertise us, and the advertising fee is not low at all. This is not only to suppress us, but also to earn our money. It is really too much. Disgusting."

Gao Jin felt that his face was being slapped.

How can I meet people when I go out in the future?
"Lang Jun, I asked Gao Lei to observe carefully outside the Qin family's crystal mirror workshop for three days. During these three days, apart from a carriage transporting sand and coke inside, there was no other movement.

Even the shops selling crystals in Chang'an City not only did not increase their prices because of the Qin family's large demand for crystals, but actually dropped their prices.

This situation all proves that this crystal mirror is not actually made of crystal. "

Gao Peng still has a few brushes.

Although the current situation is very difficult, he does not do nothing.

"It's not like you haven't seen that mirror with your own eyes. It's not made of crystal. What is it made of?"

Gao Peng obviously couldn't answer Gao Jin's question.

A team of masters and servants, apart from complaining and cursing Qin Xiedao together, there is very little they can do.

……

"Your Majesty, according to my preliminary investigation, in the past few days, the Crystal Palace has sold more than 3 mirrors and made a profit of more than [-] yuan.

If it can continue to develop at this pace, the funds for the construction of the new palace will basically not be a big problem. "

Such a big thing happened outside, Li Junxian naturally wanted to report to Li Shimin.

"It's impossible to sell so many crystal mirrors every day, but relying on such a thing, Xiedao can at least raise millions of dollars. This is really amazing."

Li Shimin had been worried about whether Qin Xiedao's new palace construction plan could be implemented in the end.

It would be embarrassing if the beginning was fixed and the end would be unfinished.

Now that the concrete and mirrors are popping out, his confidence is instantly bolstered.

"This is entirely possible. Thanks to the hot sales of crystal mirrors, the enthusiasm of various noble families for building cement workshops has suddenly increased.

In addition to the workshops already under construction, which are speeding up, two more cement workshops have started construction in the past few days.

Your Majesty, this cement is really a good thing. Qin Dalang can use it to build a new palace. In fact, His Majesty can also use it to build water conservancy. "

Although Li Junxian is a general, he is relatively good at using his brain.

Otherwise, there is no way to be the leader of the Baiqi Division and become the person in charge of one of the secret forces around Li Shimin.

"Xuanling and Keming have already mentioned this matter to me a while ago. Since all the cement workshops are speeding up their construction, I will discuss it with a few important ministers after the court tomorrow."
