After transmigrating into cannon fodder, he had sex with the villain

Ge Shangshu only went to see it once, and never went to the shop again, but he didn’t need to go to see it in person, he also knew that glass soon became a new thing in the capital, and the glass shop said it was making money every day. However, who would have thought that something made from such raw materials could be sold at such a high price.

The income from selling glass can just be used to pave roads and build bridges. Thinking about it this way, Ge Shangshu and the cabinet ministers don’t think the glass is so expensive. Anyway, whether it’s ornaments or glass windows, it’s only available to wealthy families at present. What is affordable has nothing to do with the common people. When the common people's lives are better in the future, the price of glass will be lowered.

Glass products caused a sensation in the capital. Ge Shangshu and Jin Shangshu asked the people in charge of the business to seize the time to set up shops in Jiangnan and other places. The rich people in Jiangnan are not necessarily less than those in Beijing. Excessive, anyway, it will be used on the common people in the end. After the road is repaired, these rich people will also use it.

Even the emperor was surprised when he saw the daily income of the glass shop. He thought he had underestimated the wealth of these powerful families in the capital, and all of this was brought by Gu Zhao. Thinking about it, the emperor just mentioned Gu Zhao's The official position is still too light, but if you think about adding other rewards to Gu Zhao, I am afraid that it will make him too conspicuous in the capital. Of course, Gu Zhao is conspicuous enough now.

The emperor called the princess over and asked her if she knew what Gu Zhao needed, and rewarded him with gold and silver. To be honest, Gu Zhao himself is quite rich, and he is not a person who pursues pleasure after watching Gu Zhao's life. Give him a title. Now people in the court haven't seen enough benefits from cement, so it's too early to mention it.

"Father, how about rewarding him with a hot spring village? This is something he can't buy even if he has money." The villages with hot springs around the capital have long been divided up by the rich and powerful, and it is not easy to buy and sell them.

"This is fine, what about the house?"

"I don't think so, otherwise, if the emperor wants to reward him, he must have two houses connected together, so that he can take care of the relationship between his adoptive parents and his biological mother."

The emperor immediately thought of Gu Zhao's bizarre life experience, and also curiously cared about the situation of his biological mother and adoptive parents' family. Yan Xiangxi told the emperor, satisfying the emperor's desire to gossip.

After hearing this, the emperor thought to himself, this kid is really smart, if the two families lived too far away, it would be difficult to deal with, so he gave up the idea of ​​rewarding Gu Zhao with the house, so he found a hot spring village and asked Gu Mu to give it to him. I sent it over, but didn't make it public, after all, I just promoted this kid to an official position.

The emperor was surprised by the income from glass trading, not to mention other dignitaries in Beijing, they are also consumers, and they know what price glass products are sold at. For example, installing glass windows, many people need hundreds of taels of silver. One can imagine how profitable this shop is, even if they look down on business people, the income makes them envious.

As a result, many people began to inquire about who was behind the glass shop, and wanted to get involved in the business, including the three generations of Xiang. If they could get the business into their hands, they would not need to work hard to get money.

As a result, as soon as someone was sent to inquire, before the claws were stretched out, one by one immediately died down. Who was this business? It was clearly the business of the imperial court. It was said that the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry stood behind it. It didn't belong to the emperor, and each of them suddenly felt very complicated.

"I heard that it was a new product made by the Ministry of Industry, but it happened that the Minister of the Ministry of Households heard about it. The Ministry of Households has been short of money, so they insisted on mixing it in. The two ministers even quarreled in front of His Majesty. In the end, His Majesty made peace. The troublemaker, both departments are involved, and of course the income will go to the national treasury in the end, and it is said that the money will be used to pave roads, build bridges and repair embankments.”

"It's no wonder that this shop can be opened steadily. People in the capital almost carry silver into the shop. How can it not make people jealous? It turns out that the backing is strong enough. His Majesty's business can be paid for." Messed up?"

"The person who made this glass is also very powerful. How big is this business, and all of it will be given to the court?"

"I heard that Gu Zijue is credited."

"No way, I haven't heard anyone mention Mr. Gu. If it's really his credit, can His Majesty not reward you?"

"You know that there is no reward? I heard that it was not put on the surface, and someone sent a hot spring village in private. The area of ​​the village is not small. I heard that some clans are eyeing it. I have always wanted to get it from His Majesty. In the past, it ended up in Gu Zijue's hands."

"Tsk tsk, this Mr. Gu is really amazing, he has made so many good things."

"Go and see, there are new and rare things in the glass shop." Someone ran in and shouted.

"I can't look down on it, how much money was spent in that shop, and let's add some new ornaments and decorations."

"Haha, I was wrong, this time the new thing is a glass mirror, my dear, that mirror can show people's fine details, it makes people jump when they look at it, the bronze mirror can't compare with this glass mirror at all Compare."

"real or fake?"

"Really, it's like a magic mirror, you won't regret it if you go to see it."

The glass has come out, is the glass mirror still far away?The required materials are available in the workshop. This is the workshop of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court. Of course, it is different from the private workshops outside. This time, Gu Zhao did it directly, because it is not easy to get the mirror out by someone unintentionally. , so Gu Zhao directly found tinfoil and mercury, first pasted a piece of tinfoil on the glass, and then poured mercury, mercury can dissolve tin, and after dissolving, it will stick to the glass tightly, which becomes a mirror.

The first batch of mirrors made were of course sent to the palace. The emperor was shocked when he looked at the glass mirror for the first time, and then those mirrors were especially loved by the harem and princesses, and the bronze mirrors were immediately thrown aside by them. up.

After satisfying the needs of the nobles in the palace, the second batch of glass mirrors was delivered to the store, which naturally caused a sensation again. This time, there was no need to wait, and the effect was obvious. Everyone who entered the store would see the big one-piece mirror. So those rich and honored people, like country people entering the city, ran to the mirror to look at it.

This glass mirror is much clearer than the copper mirror, so the price is naturally not too low. However, after the glass mirror is illuminated, who can accept the copper mirror?No matter how high the asking price was, each one of them couldn't wait to place an order in the shop, fearing that they would be one step too late, and the mirrors would be sold out, and they would have to wait a long time for the wheels to arrive.

The installation of glass windows is not the case, it is not that the order can be installed immediately after paying the money. For such a few workers, the earlier the order is, the higher the queue is, and the late order can only wait.

Therefore, on the first day when the glass mirrors were put out, several full-length mirrors were ordered immediately, and those who came a step later regretted it, because the manager in the shop said that the larger the mirror, the harder it is to work, so we have to ask for it later. wait a minute.

The person who bought the full-length mirror first also posted a post to the people he knew, inviting everyone to visit his mirror together.

Therefore, there is no need to advertise at all, and glass mirrors have become popular in the capital. Small mirrors as big as palms cost several taels of silver, making people who are short of money even more jealous.

In fact, it is not impossible for the Ministry of Industry to produce more life-sized mirrors. Nowadays, the technology of firing glass is becoming more and more proficient, but Gu Zhao said that rare things are more expensive, so it is necessary to release less to sway everyone's appetite. What's more, those full-length mirrors are extremely luxurious, and the frame is painted with gold and color, which is absolutely invaluable to future generations. The value of the frame far exceeds the value of the mirror itself. Only high-standard and high-grade mirrors can bring out some noble identities.

Those dignitaries held silver and wanted mirrors, but Gu Zhao was not stingy with his own people. Pingnan Viscount's Mansion, Gu Jiali's House, two uncles, and Princess Southwest all received the mirrors from Gu Zhao. There are mirrors, big and small. Although they are not so exquisite and gorgeous, they are functional enough. Just like that, the two Li Mansions have become famous in the capital. .

Gu Zhao sent mirrors to these people without too much concealment. After all, they were things for daily use. This kind of action made the rich and powerful in the capital more and more sure that the appearance of glass and glass mirrors really had an inseparable relationship with Gu Zhao.

"How did this Viscount Gu get his head? I think that compared with his writing and taking the imperial examination, his means of collecting money is the number one. Looking at the Ministry of Households and those wealthy businessmen, who can compare to this Gu Zijue? It seems that he didn't let go of his hands and feet before, otherwise he would have earned a lot of money by now."

"Be willing to let the wind down, I heard that recently the Minister of the Household Department walks with the wind, so he doesn't look like he used to cry poor, and many roads in and around the capital have begun to be built, and it is said that the silver used to sell glass."

"That's very good. You don't need to transfer money from the household department. Gu Zijue will be the one who loses."

"Is it a loss? Not necessarily, Gu Zijue lost money, but he won the Sacred Heart. Not to mention the current Majesty, even in the future, no matter who is in charge, he will not be able to treat this Gu Zijue badly. He is really a real person." merit."

"The most regrettable thing is Viscount Yu's mansion, tsk tsk, not only lost a viscount, but also lost a golden mountain."

"You don't know yet, something happened to Viscount Yu's mansion."

"What happened? Why didn't you hear anything?"

"Hehe, when the mansion is still the Marquis's mansion, if there is any movement, it will be spread? Only because of the relationship with Gu Zijue, people will talk about it, but unfortunately, during this period of time, it is both cement and glass. , This incident has caused so much trouble that not many people pay attention to the affairs of that mansion. Back to the topic, I heard that the mansion almost killed people by letting loan sharks, and was sued to Fengtian Mansion."

Everyone who heard it was shocked.
