System, help me become the empress

Chapter 90 Sales Channels
"The master in charge of researching and improving the ironmaking process, why didn't I see it today?"

Xu Youxi looked around for a long time, but she didn't see the old master who talked with her last time about the magical effects of pistons and blowers in ironmaking.

Xu Ling immediately replied: "Your Majesty, that master has been invited to Liao'an County to improve the local iron-making technology."

"Okay." Xu Youxi nodded.

Naturally, the more developed the technology of iron and steel making, the better.

"Your Majesty, according to the recipe you gave, matches have also been made, and the match factory is mass producing them."

"very good!"

This is indeed very good news!

The more Xu Youxi looked at the Shengong Bureau, the more satisfied he became, as if through these people who studied carefully, he could see the incomparably brilliant future of Daqian.

……

The house of the Shengong Bureau and a large piece of wasteland nearby have been built by Jin Yiwei with high walls, and they took the time to renovate the inside and outside to prevent people who want to break in and steal secrets.

Xu Youxi didn't want to disturb the research of the people inside, so she came in quietly and left quietly.

After leaving the Shengong Bureau, she returned to Shangjingcheng Street, and the city was full of people holding "Ganbao" and rereading.

Seeing that it was still early, Xu Youxi was not in a hurry to return to the palace, so he simply took advantage of Yao Shaofu's absence from Beijing recently, and ran to his residence to look for Pei Yao.

"Li Si!"

When Pei Yao heard that Li Si was looking for her, she rushed over in surprise.

Xu Youxi was lucky, Pei Yao was actually studying in the mansion during this period of time: "Pei Yao, I have a big business, do you want to do it?"

Pei Yao asked all the maids who followed her to retreat outside the house to wait, while she sat beside Xu Youxi a few steps away: "What big deal?"

Xu Youxi took out the 'kaleidoscope' and 'mercury mirror' from the backpack he brought, and placed them on the table one by one: "They are all a few gadgets invented by Shengong Bureau, take a look."

Pei Yao saw the 'glass mirror' at a glance, and saw that the mirror clearly reflected her own appearance, she couldn't help covering her mouth: "This, this is a bronze mirror?!"

"Can a bronze mirror be polished so clear?!"

Pei Yao looked at the mirror, not even daring to touch it easily, for fear that what she saw was just an illusion.

"It's not made of copper, it's made of glass. When a missionary came to my court a few years ago, he brought a very small glass mirror. At that time, Emperor Chongjiu offered to pay a high price of ten thousand taels of gold and hundreds of houses. I bought it, but they won't sell it anyway." Xu Youxi said slowly, "But the mirror he brought back at the beginning is far less clear and translucent than the one made by Shengong Bureau."

When Pei Yao looked at the glass mirror again, her eyes were filled with awe.

"Glass mirrors are not only a treasure in our work, but also a treasure overseas. The price is high, and not everyone overseas is eligible to buy it." Xu Youxi continued to add.

"Indeed. Even if this kind of treasure is sent to the palace to be enshrined, it wouldn't be surprising." Pei Yao said with emotion.

"Don't worry, the cost of this thing may be tens of pennies. A factory specializing in the manufacture of glass mirrors was opened outside the capital. After a while, glass mirrors will be as many things as you want." Xu Youxi said lightly, "I'm looking for God The Bureau of Industry is coming to authorize the sale of glass mirrors, so it depends on whether you dare to follow it?"

'Glass' was considered an expensive item in the early days of the Daqian Dynasty, but as more merchants discovered the profits, the quantity of glass increased, so that the price became cheaper.

"God, Li Si, how do you even recognize the people from Shengong Bureau!" Pei Yao was full of surprise.

"Shengong Bureau also has difficulties. If they want to continue inventing and creating, they must have the support of real money. So I have established a cooperation with them. They are responsible for manufacturing, and I help them sell things. But these products are sold Most of the profits have to go to Shengong Bureau. We do this, and the reward may not be too much."

"Don't talk about getting paid, even if you don't get paid for this matter, you still have to support it! After all, the future of Shengong Bureau is the future of Daqian."

Pei Yao's tone was serious, and after seeing Xu Youxi's surprised eyes, she felt a little helpless, "I really want to make money in business, but anyway, my biological father died in battle to defend Dagan. My feelings for Dagan No less than anyone."

Xu Youxi really didn't expect Pei Yao to say that, but it's not surprising after thinking about it, and continued: "I think glass mirrors can be reprocessed and sold at different prices. If they are sold to the rich, they should be made by craftsmen first." With a gorgeous frame and a mirror embedded in it, it’s not a big problem to sell it for a thousand taels.”

"For ordinary people, you can use the leftovers after division. The craftsmanship is more practical, and the cost price is about the same. Depending on the size, it can range from a dozen to dozens of coins."

"Okay, I understand."

"In addition to the glass mirror, look at the kaleidoscope." Xu Youxi handed the kaleidoscope to Pei Yao, "This is not very practical, it is made for children to play with, turn it around, and different patterns will appear inside .”

When Pei Yao saw the kaleidoscope for the first time, she was also shocked: "This is too beautiful."

"Ah."

Pei Yao is particularly fond of the kaleidoscope, and she can't put it down while holding it.

"These samples are all for you." Xu Youxi said.

"No, no, I can't afford such a precious item."

"You just take it." Xu Youxi handed the kaleidoscope to Pei Yao, "The two things I just showed you are not the most precious, so take a look at this."

Xu Youxi took out a small box, opened it, took out a stick, and gently slid it on the surface of the box, the stick was instantly ignited: "This is called a match, and it can be used to light a fire."

Dagan Folk is still in the stage of using flint to ignite the fire. It's not convenient at ordinary times, but sometimes it can't be lit for a long time, which is really troublesome.

Pei Yao took a deep breath, looked at the three things in front of her, and was speechless for a long time: "In the past, my understanding of the Shengong Bureau was only a drop in the ocean. No matter which of these three things were put in the world, There must be no commotion."

"Didn't you say that Shengong Bureau is the future of Daqian? These three things are just the beginning." Xu Youxi was not in a hurry.

Pei Yao couldn't figure it out: "Is it really feasible for me to sell these things? There are countless big merchants in Daqian, whether it is Shanxi merchants or Huizhou merchants, they are more experienced than me. Why did you choose me?"

"It's very simple. If the Shengong Bureau needs to rely on these inventions to make a lot of money from the people. Then they must first choose experienced big businessmen, and then use their channels and contacts to make public bids. But you should have discovered it just now, Shengong The bureau means that these three things do not need to be sold at high prices, and that changing people's lives is more meaningful than making money."

"Okay, I see."

"You can try to do it first, and if you encounter difficulties, think of other ways to solve it."

"Ok."

"After you set up the shop, Shengong Bureau can arrange "Ganbao" to write an article for you to promote it, and indicate the price in the article, so as to prevent traders from selling it around and making black-hearted money."

……

Until a long time after Xu Youxi left, Pei Yao didn't react from the huge shock, she was eager to find someone to share the big news.

Unfortunately, she had to keep it a secret!
