Chapter 94 Start selling when it's made 99/117

Speaking of heavy snow, it is actually falling in Gyeonggi area.

However, it was not continuous heavy snow, but the next day was heavy, rest for two more days, and then continue to fall.

There was no continuous blizzard impact, so naturally nothing was there.

But such cold weather makes many people reluctant to go out.

Liu Mingqi has been to the ceramic workshop in the past two days.

After so many days of continuous preparation and experimentation, they have made bone porcelain products.

Dazhu and Fan Shanben are not people with high-level aesthetics. Seeing the set of bone porcelain tableware they made, they couldn't help but be amazed.

This set of bone porcelain has more than twenty pieces of utensils of large and small size, including bowls, plates, pots, cups, etc.

Just when placing it on the table, you can feel its crystal clear and as thin as paper. The key is that it looks very lubricating.

"Your Highness, such a set of bone porcelain is expensive, right?" A person like Chi San who is used to doing business couldn't help but say, "Does it produce a lot? How many sets can it be made in a month?"

This kid is already thinking about how to sell it.

Liu Mingqi smiled, "It is expected to be a set of 500 taels of silver. I don't know if it is expensive or not, and whether it can be sold."

"Why can't it?" Chi San clearly understood this business: "The fine products produced by several major official kilns cost 100 taels of silver for each piece. Those super beautiful ones are not surprising!

Although our bone porcelain is not as specific in terms of inheritance and specific details, it is really too cheap to sell for more than 20 pieces, and it is completely rushing to buy it."

As he said that, he asked again: "Your Highness, what is the output?"

"According to the current scale and raw materials, about hundreds of sets can be made in a month." Liu Mingqi said, "Do you think there is a need for us to expand the scale?"

"Of course it's necessary!"

Chi San became excited, "Your Highness, this has developed, and it must be another flagship product of my Prince Yu's Mansion! It just so happened that Yuzhou and Ruzhou are not far from the capital, so we can go there to buy land and make workshops! We will first produce two or three thousand sets a month, and then reach a stable 10,000 sets!"

Dazhu looked at him boredly: "San'er, how many people do you need to do this? What a big scene?"

Fan Shan didn't understand, so Dazhu explained to him, "A ordinary porcelain kiln requires thirty or fifty people. But if it is a large porcelain kiln, there are usually thousands of people, and the seven most famous official kilns have at least two or three thousand people, or even more. But the maximum production is 10,000 or 20,000 pieces per month, of which about three or five hundred are fine.

For example, if we have steadily reached 10,000 sets per month, that is 100,000 or 200,000 pieces. Don’t you have to have 200,000 or 30,000 people work in the workshop? What a scale it is? Isn’t this to make others envious? It’s too high-profile?”

Liu Mingqi laughed, "San'er, even Dazhu knows that he is going to be low-key. Are you still so ambitious? Are you really worried that I am not famous enough, right?"

Chi San shrugged, "You are not ready to compete for the prince. What's wrong with doing business? The bigger the business, doesn't it mean we don't care about that position?"

The way he considered it was not unreasonable.

In government affairs, he never tried his best to do business. For such a prince, the court bosses would definitely not want him to become the emperor.

Because that would be a disaster.

However, Liu Mingqi has not wanted to use this method to come from black.

But Liu Mingqi likes to make the porcelain business bigger.

Porcelain is a very popular product, both ancient and modern, both at home and abroad.

Especially in ancient times, this mysterious object from the East was not only strong and durable, but also not stained with grease, and even looked so beautiful and charming, which made foreigners extremely popular with porcelain.

Their English name in China is called porcelain.

Overseas merchants gathered in Jiangnan, Guangdong and Fujian, one-quarter of the goods purchased are porcelain.

They have all kinds of porcelain.

Even the simplest bowls used by farmers, they wholesale them in large quantities and sell them to make a lot of money.

Just so happened that Liu Mingqi knew that bone porcelain was very popular in the West.

No, not just the West, but also the East.

Although it is a low-end version of thin-body porcelain, the problem is that the output of thin-body porcelain is not high.

After the bone porcelain is matched and calcined twice, the process is basically not a big problem for Chinese porcelain craftsmen.

This kind of bone porcelain does not need to be as fine as Western high-end bone porcelain, as long as it reaches the level of the 18th century.

Of course, the bone porcelain that the merchants selling bone porcelain boasted about was "white as jade, as bright as mirror, as thin as paper, and as sound as chimes", which was actually completely nonsense, which was the praise language of the blue and white porcelain in Jingdezhen.

The praise of thin-body porcelain is even more serious.

The eight words "as thin as a cicada's wings, as light as silk yarn" are enough to kill all bone porcelain in seconds.

The Yu Palace has a huge advantage in making bone porcelain porcelain.

As we all know, the largest city of porcelain from ancient times to the present is Jingdezhen.

The Fuliang County government where Jingdezhen is located is a genuine fourth rank in the Dakang Dynasty. It is like the title of prefect of the provincial capital. This is obviously because of Jingdezhen.

However, in fact, there are two very important kiln areas in the Gyeonggi area.

Official kiln area.

They are Jun Kiln in Yuzhou and Ruzhou Ru Kiln.

These two are one of the seven most important official kilns.

Jun kiln is commonly known as "even if you have a wealth of wealth, you are not as good as Jun kiln."

Ru Kiln is even more powerful, and has always been the leader of the seven official kilns.

And Yuzhou and Ruzhou are both next to each other, located just southwest of the capital, and the farthest Ruzhou is only 400 miles away.

Therefore, establishing a kiln factory there is not only the best raw materials, but also very convenient and convenient for shipment.

After thinking about it, Liu Mingqi said to Chi San: "Don't be busy expanding now, let them do it for a few months, stabilize the level of bone porcelain, and then talk about expansion and sales... You are responsible for this matter, don't be afraid of spending too much money. As long as you can do it well, your future wealth will definitely be great."

"clear!"

Chi San nodded and said.

He is currently the second supervisor in the Dewang Mansion.

The chief supervisor is Tian Rong, and he will come down.

For new projects like this, he usually follows up.

...

At night, Yelu Feiyang, who had been talking to senior officials of various ethnic groups for another day, happened to catch up with supper when he returned to the inn.

Shiwei already has a city, and their living habits have naturally changed a lot.

For example, when I was poor, living in tents and cooking in bonfires have gradually faded from the nobles.

Instead, it is a fine life.

However, their preferences for eating have not changed.

I like to eat mutton, beef, and I like to drink alcohol.

Yelu Feiyang sat cross-legged in the dining room covered with blankets, watching a pair of brand new porcelain on the table.

As soon as he looked at it, his eyes immediately lit up: "This cup is good! And this bowl... Dakang people's porcelain is so good!"

Anyone who is familiar with Yelu Feiyang knows that he is never stingy in admitting other people's strengths and is a very generous person.

It is precisely because of his characteristics that many people think he is sincere, so his approval rating is very high in the senior management of Shiwei.

Yelu Anxiang next to him replied with a smile, "Yes, when the Dakangyu Prince's Mansion was sent here just now, I was also amazed, so let me show you the emperor!"

"Is it made by Prince Yu's Mansion again?" Yelu Feiyang looked at the light while holding it.

"Yes, this is a gift from King De." Yelu Anxiang is not a fool either, "mostly they want to open up Shiwei's sales through you!"

"This thing is pretty good. It's light and thin, beautiful and generous." Yelu Feiyang put down the cup and bowl and asked, "Did they tell me the price?"

"A set of twenty-four pieces, five hundred taels of silver." Yelu Anxiang said, "It's so expensive! How many cattle and sheep can you buy, and how many slaves and women can you buy?"

On the grassland, slaves are not humans, they are objects and can be bought and sold.

Although Shiwei is essentially a country, this grassland habit still exists.

"So he is rich!" Yelu Feiyang signaled the servant to pour a glass of wine, picked up the wine glass and watched it again, "Tsk tsk, it is indeed the country of Tianbao. When will my Wei have these things?"

"As long as we work hard, we will definitely have it!" Yelu Anxiang catered seriously.

He didn't know the major events discussed by Yelu Feiyang and others, and these secrets could not be made public yet.

Yelu Feiyang naturally couldn't tell him.

The third prince of Shiwei pondered for a moment and said, "An Xiang, you will bring silver notes to Prince Yu's mansion tomorrow and say we want to buy ten sets of these porcelains... Did they say what porcelain is called? Oh!"

Yelu Anxiang didn't need to answer the second question. He carefully saw the elegant word "Yu" written at the bottom of the cup.

As expected, Yelu Anxiang said, "This is called Yuci. Brother Huang, why are you buying such expensive things? What a waste!"

Yelu Feiyang laughed, "An Xiang, sometimes people still need the worldly style. It is rare for us to come to Dakang Capital. Don't we bring some gifts to our family? This Yu porcelain is transparent and white, surprisingly beautiful, and they will definitely like it!"

"oh……"

Yelu Anxiang is not a fool, he immediately understood what his cousin meant.

Although there are many people in the royal family and the court who support Yelu Feiyang, Yelu Feiyang himself has to compete and win over more people.

There is such a beautiful set of porcelain that is almost rare in Shiwei to send it over. Those people are not surprised and pass it on as a family heirloom?

Of course, Dakang is not without better porcelain.

But those are much more expensive than this Yuci, and there is no need at all.
