Ye Chunqiu returned home and took a nap for a moment. When he got up, many people from home had already visited him.

Most of these people are fellow villagers from Ningbo.

Ningbo people were suffering from the Japanese. Perhaps people from other places in the Ming Dynasty did not have a deep impression of Japanese pirates and Japanese envoys, but Ningbo people in this era knew the best.

In fact, there are also some Ningbo people in the capital. Usually, these Ningbo people formed a village party, and most of them asked for help or walked around were carried out in the mansions of those people.

But now, more people are willing to come to the Ye family. The party organization in this village is the most complicated. Although it is usually loose, once something happens, it can always connect many people through complex contexts.

It is natural to go out and get together.

Ye Chunqiu didn't like this kind of relationship, but fortunately, Ye Jingxia came back at this time, so he asked everyone to sit in the hall.

But Chen Jin came to see Ye Chunqiu specifically and thanked him for his gratitude. Ye Chunqiu helped him up: "No need to be polite, I wonder when you plan to return to your hometown?"

Returning to your hometown...

Chen Jin couldn't help but say embarrassedly, "The villain was originally responsible for purchasing in the Maritime Warehouse Department. Because this happened, the villain sued everywhere. The Shangguan in the Maritime Warehouse Department ordered me not to cause trouble. Seeing that I ignored it, I turned me off..."

Ye Chunqiu understood his situation. In fact, local officials may not be cold-blooded. To a certain extent, they are just afraid of things. Now that Chen Jin has been abandoned, Ye Chunqiu thought about it and said, "What are you mainly responsible for purchasing?"

Chen Jin said: "The Maritime Bureau is responsible for receiving envoys, but also purchasing goods on the market and trading with envoys, including silk, porcelain, etc."

Ye Chunqiu was from Ningbo and was very clear about this tribute system. The Ming Dynasty implemented maritime ban most of the time, but foreign trade was not without it. It was just that most of it was completed through the Maritime Bureau. Generally, the vassal states sent envoys to bring rare things from various countries. This is the legendary "tribute". When the court rewarded the favor, most of them would use equivalent or even richer goods, which is called reward.

Although it is covered with the tribute system, it is actually a trade.

Chen Jin should have a position of worship in the Maritime Warehouse Department. He is a relatively senior "civilian". Now he has no job. Ye Chunqiu thought for a while and said, "You might as well follow my uncle to do things. My uncle has set up a crystal workshop in the North Canal. You are still responsible for worshiping and purchasing the required sand, gravel and coal. In the past two days, you will settle down first. Is the silver enough?"

After hearing this, Chen Jin was not grateful? He hurriedly said, "Enough, enough, the villain still has some savings."

Ye Chunqiu asked someone to invite his uncle Sun Qi. Sun Qi was often busy in the workshop in the North Canal. I heard that Ye Chunqiu was looking for him and rushed over without stopping.

Ye Chunqiu told him about Chen Jin's affairs. Sun Qi did not hesitate much and agreed: "Speaking of this, the buying matter is the most cumbersome. Generally, people who cannot trust do not dare to entrust heavy tasks. I am just a newcomer, and the crystal workshop has just been created. I have to do many things myself. I am really too busy to do it."

Then, he looked at Chen Jin and said, "Brother Chen is also from Ningbo? You and I are fellow villagers. Since you are proficient in the teachings of worship, then tomorrow you will come to the crystal workshop and get familiar with the situation first."

Chen Jin thanked him so much that he said goodbye.

These days, Sun Qi was always the dragon who saw the head but the tail was gone. When Chen Jin left, he cheered up and said with a smile on his face: "Chunqiu, the profits of this crystal workshop are really huge."

Sun Qi was very excited. He said that the recent transactions of the crystal workshop were mostly forced to be distributed. He used the supply system of the clinic to include hundreds of merchants in this system into the transactions of crystal mirrors and crystal glass, and forced to supply them. These people were also worried that the clinic would not purchase their goods, so at first they pinched their noses and ate the crystals.

But since they spent money to purchase these "crystals", if they were piled up in the warehouse, they would not only occupy the warehouse, but also lose all their money. These people are businessmen from all over the country. Which one does not have an extremely complicated political and business relationship behind it?

Some people simply used this to give gifts to others, and some people promoted it everywhere. These hundreds of merchants almost became the free salesmen of the Crystal Workshops in Nanzhili and Zhejiang Provincial Government. So, crystal products on the market began to appear, and many people gradually became impressions, and only then did they know the many benefits and preciousness of this crystal.

On the other hand, in the clinic, the Ye family launched crystal products at the same time in the thirteen clinics in Jiangnan. Originally, glazed glass was a luxury item in this era, but glazed glass was mostly colorful, but the crystal was colorless and transparent, the best mirror and the best lighting product. Those women who were in charge of the house and the ladies in the boudoir immediately fell in love with crystal mirrors. Almost just had just been put on the shelves, all the crystal mirrors were sold out. In the women's clinic, they would come to the capital to urge goods every now and then.

Chen Rong also introduced Crystal specifically at the Poetry Club and held a poetry meeting about Crystal, which recorded a lot of poems, which also attracted the attention of many people.

Fame has just opened up. For wealthy families, whether it is pearl or agate, it is actually not important. As long as it is worthy of its identity, this crystal looks very rare, not to mention that it has many practical uses.

Even some wealthy families want to replace their own windows with crystal glass. After trying it, the effect is indeed many times better than the doors and windows covered with window paper. The lighting is excellent, and there is no need to change it at all times. The sealing is even more powerful. The most important thing is that there is such a thing that can better show the identity of the owner. This is different from the calligraphy, painting and agate hidden at home. Such a brilliant and outstanding thing is placed here. Who doesn’t know if anyone comes to the door?

Gradually... crystal became famous in Jiangnan for a while and began to become popular.

Sun Qi said: "Now the workshops are refining day and night, and the yield has been greatly improved. The craftsmen are much more skilled than at the beginning. They say that the daily output of this crystal glass is increasing. Alas... This crystal makes more money than porcelain. Although the porcelain is of great value, the cost is very high, the output is even more limited, and the competition is not small. This crystal is just made with some of the most common sand and gravel, and the output is also extremely large. Now, the only one that can produce crystals is the workshop in the North Canal. Isn't this a profitable business?"
