Thank you for the invitation. I am in the Ming Dynasty and swear not to be an official!

Chapter 30: Millions of profits!

"Tiancheng, we heard that you burned a batch of waste products, could this be it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang still remembered that glass was colorless and transparent, but it was obvious that the other side of these glasses could not be seen, so misunderstandings arose.

"Haha! I made a mistake today! This is called frosted glass, and this is a good thing!"

"Ground glass? What's the significance of this thing?"

Liao Tiancheng didn't waste any time and immediately put up a piece of glass.

"Old man, please see, this glass is installed on the window. The room is still bright, but it can protect privacy and prevent others from peeking!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately delighted!
At that time in the palace, he, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong raised this issue.

Unexpectedly, Liao Tiancheng had already thought of a problem that Tangtang Erxiang didn't expect and didn't know how to solve, one step ahead, and had a finished product!
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stretched out his fingers, wiped some saliva, and rubbed it on the glass for a while. The more he rubbed it, the happier he became.

"Amazing! This object transmits light more easily than window paper, but unlike window paper, it can be poked through a hole at any time! This is really a magical object that can prevent outsiders from peeking! Tiancheng, how much does this piece of glass cost? We think It costs 500 yuan!”

Liao Tiancheng was immediately shocked: "Old man, how big is your house? Why do you need so much? For 500 yuan, the palace can almost be filled with it!"

Liao Tiancheng calculated based on his new house that there were generally only about a hundred or so rooms in a mansion, and many of them were occupied by servants.

If you want to replace this kind of frosted glass, only a hundred or so yuan will be enough for a wealthy family.

This old man actually asked for 500 yuan in one go!

Could it be that this guy wants to resell?

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted this kind of glass, of course, to use it back for his palace.

Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, Jinshen Hall, Wenhua Hall, Wuying Hall, Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, Chunhe Palace and so on!

There are so many areas that need to be replaced with glass!

Of course it is necessary for the place where you go to court to be brighter. This will help you see the changes in the minister's expression clearly.

Naturally, you need your own bedroom. Who likes to be peeked at while sleeping?
As for the place for concubines, it is even more needed!Otherwise, when he and his concubines are competing in martial arts, they must not be seen by the eunuchs and maids?

For 500 yuan, Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to be conservative.

With a roll of his eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Of course we won't need it, but we can give it to the emperor! Don't worry, we are dedicating it to the emperor in your name, and he will not miss your money."

Liao Tiancheng smiled bitterly: "The emperor lives a very careful life, how can he give me a good price? I estimate that if I sell these glasses to the princes, I can sell them for a thousand guan a piece! If you want to give it to the emperor, you have to burn it if you give me ten guan Very fragrant."

"A thousand guan! A piece?? You kid, you are just talking! After all, it is just glass. Who would be stupid enough to buy it at such a high price? The imperial court's first-class salary is only a few hundred guan, at your price If you sell it, doesn’t it mean that a dignified first-class official can’t afford one piece a year?”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, quite disbelieving.

"In that case, old man, I'll sell it first. If it doesn't fetch a high price, I'll give it all to the emperor!"

"If I sell all the glass, I will pay an extra [-]% tax to the court. After a while, when the price of this kind of glass comes down, I will send a special batch to the palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately made a calculation.

If it is true as Liao Tiancheng said, then the treasury can make a lot more money, and he will only get the glass a few days later.

"Okay, okay, then we want to see how much your glass can sell for!"

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Liao Tiancheng, led two hundred craftsmen, took all the glass, and quickly left the ruined courtyard to the street.

By this time, many officials had already bought glass from Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.

Seeing that there was also a stall selling glass here, they gathered around.

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his hat, mingled in the crowd and observed the situation quietly. "Everyone! Although the transparent glass illuminates the room brightly, everyone can see clearly what happens in the room!"

"You all live in a big house, and there are many servants and maids in the house. Think about them casually passing by and taking a look, or even you want to be intimate with the ladies, but they are seen! How uncomfortable that must be!"

"My glass barely affects the light transmission, but allows people outside to see what's going on inside! This is what you really need!"

"And with my glass, you no longer have to worry about being secretly poked a hole like window paper!"

"In addition, the sound insulation effect of this glass is excellent! It is really a must-have product for home!"

Liao Tiancheng personally went into battle and introduced the various benefits of his own glass, which quickly attracted the attention of many dignitaries.

A young man in his early twenties came up and looked at the glass carefully for a while, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"How much does this glass cost for you? I want 100 yuan!"

When Liao Tiancheng saw that he was well-dressed, he said with a sky-high price: "One yuan, one thousand guan!"

There was an uproar all around.

The young man also laughed a little: "A piece of glass at the imperial court only sells for ten guan, how dare you ask for a thousand guan?"

Liao Tiancheng's expression did not change and he said sternly: "It depends on you being the first to buy, so I will give you a discount. In fact, I originally wanted to sell it for [-] guan per piece!"

The young man shook his head and prepared to leave. Others were also whispering to each other, all with mocking looks on their faces.

Seeing this, Liao Tiancheng continued to agitate.

"These are the only things you can buy. If you sell one piece, you will lose one piece!"

"Everyone is a respectable person. I don't need to say more about the benefits of this thing, so everyone can appreciate it."

“In the short term, this is a must-have for home, and in the far term, it can also be used as an antique!”

"If you don't buy it, maybe I will present this to His Majesty tomorrow. From now on, you will only be envious."

It is naturally possible to offer such good things to the emperor.

As for the benefits, Liao Tiancheng made it clear and everyone understood it.

People who mistakenly thought that this was all they had suddenly started rushing to buy them.

"I want 50 yuan!"

"I want 100 yuan!"

"I want 200 yuan!"

No one present had any cash with them. They all protected their part of the glass and asked their attendants to go home quickly to get money.

Not long after, many servants came out from all directions, some carrying boxes, and some driving carriages to deliver money.

It didn’t take long before there was not a single piece of glass left that cost nearly 1000 yuan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned!
"It's really sold out! One thousand yuan a piece of glass! Are these people crazy? Xu Da's annual salary can only be sold for half a yuan, but his eldest son just asked for 100 yuan! The Xu family has saved up in the past few years I’m afraid not all of the salary, food and land income have been accounted for!”

After calculating Liao Tiancheng's income this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply shocked!
"Nearly 100 million yuan in income! This is almost as much as the imperial court's tax revenue for a year! Shen Wansan will have to be defeated even if he lives!"

"But can this kid handle this much money? Should we help him share the pressure?"
