This is reasonable. Zhu Cilang understood this a little bit when Zhao Datou said this. It is not surprising that this matter is about Zhou Kui, the tyrant businessman.

Zhou Kui, a stingy guy who regards wealth as his life. He wants to sell glass at a high price, but would rather stockpile it in his hands than lower the price. Although it sells it in small amounts, the profit is high.

This is very similar to what Zhou Kui has done.

Zhu Cilang became increasingly angry. It is true that the profits of hoarding goods are high, but overall income will decrease. First of all, glass is extremely popular and even out of stock. As long as you drop the price slightly, you will be snatched away.

This way, if the profit is less, it can be considered that the total account will make more money. Small profits and quick turnover are the long-term solutions, and now the court uses money everywhere. Zhou Kui took advantage of the situation at this time, so how could Zhu Cilang not be angry?

Emperor Chongzhen was full of government affairs, and he had no time to take care of Xishan Glass Factory. Zhu Cilang was not in the capital for many years, so Xishan Glass Factory was the final say.

Zhao Datou wanted to sell it, but Zhou Kui refused to sell it. He was actually more aggrieved than anyone else. He saw that such good glass was hoarded. The operation of the glass factory was almost in trouble. If he didn't sell one, the craftsmen would not be able to pay the wages of the craftsmen.

But Zhou Kui was just not anxious or slow, and Zhu Cilang was almost furious. It seemed that it would be impossible not to deal with his stingy grandfather.

As for how to deal with this grandfather, Zhu Cilang has some ways to deal with his own grandfather. Zhu Cilang is very familiar with it.

He cheated him, and it was a big deal. It made Zhou Kuisheng unlucky, and he was dying of ecstasy...

Zhu Cilang also understands the principle that wool cannot be pulled from one body, but he can't resist the antelope with horns on his head, and only Zhou Kui is a sheep.

Antelope is not easy to pull, they will kick their legs and use their horns to push people.

Sheep are different. Sheep are gentle and have more hair. When they encounter danger, they will not attack actively, but will only shrank their necks and tremble.

Zhu Cilang decided to look back to find Zhou Kui, the old sheep, to try out the craftsmanship and wool-pigmenting skills.

The most important thing now is not to go back to Beijing to find his grandfather, but to deal with Xishan in advance.

"Zhao Datou, I ask you, what is the current market price of glass?"

Zhao Datou, who was full of grievance, responded: "Your Highness, the father-in-law said that it was three feet square in glass, and it cost three taels of silver."

"Sanliang?" Zhu Ciyang was shocked. Why didn't this profiteer just go and grab it?

Zhao Datou cried and said, "Your Highness, the villain said it is too expensive. Three-foot square glass does not make it worth three taels of silver. It is so expensive, and jewelry and jade are not so valuable."

The late Ming Dynasty had deflation, and three taels of silver was very valuable. The Ming Dynasty's law stipulated that a enemy could be beheaded and could receive three taels of silver rewards, and in the later period it increased to five taels.

In other words, if you saw a Qing soldier's head in Liaodong, you can't buy a piece of two square meters of glass. Zhou Kui can snatch it.

The taxes of the national treasury are only more than four million taels. You can sell three taels of silver for a piece of glass made of sand. This is almost the same price as imported products from the West.

What Zhou Kui does is the same price as imported Western products. Only when it is expensive can it show its identity. It is expensive and has high profits.

This is a guy who is guarding the wick and unwilling to close his eyes. Zhou Kui's logic is that the more expensive the glass is sold, the more valuable the goods he stocks up. Three taels of silver were still from Zhao Datou and the others knelt down and kowtowed. According to Zhou Kui's wishes, you can take a look at the price of less than five taels of silver.

"Okay, I know. Three taels of silver, this is a robbery. What do they say about the merchants in the capital?"

"Some merchants also stock up on goods. Three taels of silver is the price of picking up goods from our Xishan Mountain. I heard that some people have already sold five taels of silver in the capital."

Zhu Cilang was startled: "It's really sold for five taels of silver, a bastard!"

Zhao Datou didn't dare to speak, not knowing whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was scolding the dealers who were stocking up goods or the father-in-law, who was His Royal Highness's biological grandfather.

"Go and call me the best craftsmen here." Zhu Cixuan said.

Zhao Datou didn't dare to ask again. Soon after, he brought two craftsmen, one old and one young, and they were masters and apprentices.

In any technical industry, there are always some talented leaders in it. The master and apprentice, one old and one young, are the best skilled in the handmade glass factory.

The two of them were very scared and honestly made friends with two craftsmen. In their eyes, factoryman Zhao Datou was already a huge official. Zhu Cilang was the prince of the Eastern Palace, and they would tremble their legs when they saw it.

"What's the name?" Zhu Cixuan tried to look gentle.

The older master knelt on the ground, put his hands in his sleeves and shivered: "Return to the words of the Crown Prince, little man Niu Dechun, this is my apprentice Zhao Shuanzi."

The master was still so virtuous, and his disciple became more and more afraid. He hid behind his master, and he knelt on the ground, as if he was a lotus leaf swinging by the wind.

Zhu Cilang said "Yes": "Get up and see the reward."

Then Sun Wangcai took out two ingots of silver from his arms and followed the master and apprentice. After taking the reward, the master and apprentice were a little calmer. At least, they knew that the crown prince summoned him not because he committed a crime.

"Niu Dechun, what did you do before."

"If you go back to the prince, the villain was a craftsman in the Liuli Factory before. Otherwise, you would make some glass decorations for the palace."

Glass, the material used to make glazed glass was obtained from by-products produced when casting bronze ware. It was refined and processed and then made into glazed glass. The colors of glazed glass were diverse, and the ancients also called it "five-colored stone". In ancient times, because it was difficult to obtain among the people, people at that time regarded glazed glass as even more precious than jade.

Glass can only be used to make some toys such as small accessories, and it is difficult to make them big items. Glass is different. Glass can be used to make glass by blow molding them, and any kind of handicraft can be made for you.

What surprised Shi Xiaofan was that Zhou Kui not only stocked up a large amount of glass, but more so were the glass crafts in the warehouse.

These are all made by famous craftsmen. People like Niu Dechun and Zhao Shuanzi make glass crafts are exquisite works of art.

These things are not just the price of glass. Zhou Kui sells them as priceless jewelry and jade. For Zhou Kui, Xishan Glass Factory has turned sand into gold.

Want to sell it cheaper? How is it possible? Even if I hold it in my hands, I will never sell it at a low price. If you like to buy it or not, I will only make it this price.

Zhu Cixuan asked these craftsmen not to make them make some crafts. He worked so hard. He tried to compete and beat them, but in the end he had no choice but to get the paper and pen. Only then did the craftsman Niu Dechun understand what the prince wanted to make.
