Chapter 79 The emperor's money is easy to earn

The next day, Li Fei sent the telescope to his godmother Yang Guifei.

"It's really fun!" Yang Guifei's telescope was like a happy bird. No matter how you look, you can't play enough. She pulled Tang Xuanzong to the highest Daming Mountain in the palace.

Looking down from Daming Mountain, half of Chang'an City is in sight.

After more than ten years of entering the palace, Yang Guifei has rarely left the palace. She yearns for playing and walking in the market outside the palace when she was a child, carefree and able to see the various situations in the world. Now she is a concubine. Because of her identity, it is impossible for her to walk in the market. Even if she can go out, the people around her kneel on both sides of the road. It is better not to go out if she only watches such a scene.

It’s different with a telescope. You can see everything outside through the palace walls, or even specifically look at some common people’s situations or what is happening.

"Sanlang, I like it very much. What you said yesterday must be rewarded with Fei'er." Yang Guifei was very happy, but she did not forget Li Fei's godson. She still remembered to help him get benefits and remind Emperor Xuanzong of Tang yesterday.

Li Fei was originally a person who valued emotions, and he remembered it to give him a double reward. Although his psychological age was older than Yang Guifei, after all, he was a newborn after traveling through time. He is now a young man under seventeen years old. Even if he really became his godson for Yang Guifei, he was shameless to enjoy Yang Guifei's maternal love. In the future, he would respect him from the bottom of his heart like a child treating his mother.

"It's indeed a good thing!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also took it and looked at it a few times. He was also very interested, but as a man, he had to take care of his woman, so the telescope was much more time in Yang Guifei's hands than he did.

"Li Fei, how much does this thing cost?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang asked.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, Li Fei spent 300 taels. But that was because he made several defective products. If he was mass-produced, it would be at most 100 taels!" The main reason is that the solid-colored glass of the Tang Dynasty was too expensive. If glass could be produced and directly produced lenses of the same size and thickness, the cost would be one or two hundred yuan.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang nodded. Although one hundred taels are not cheap, it is still okay to make some. The telescope is worth the value.

"If you use it on the border to check the enemy situation, especially on the grassland, it is definitely a powerful weapon!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said with a smile.

Telescopes are indeed a powerful tool for observing the enemy's situation in war.

After all, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was the former saint, and now he is not confused. He knows how to maximize the value of some things.

Concubine Yang was happy, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was also happy. He also thought of the greatest value of the telescope. With a wave of his hand, he not only asked Li Fei to personally participate in the manufacture of a batch of telescopes, but also rewarded Li Fei with 5,000 taels of gold.

Several palace guards followed Li Fei and helped him bring five thousand taels of gold back to the Marquis of Jingyang.

Yesterday he only got 3,000 taels of gold, and today he got 5,000 taels of gold. In two days, he carried 8,000 taels of gold from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang back home, which totaled 80,000 taels!

He worked hard to buy Zhaojia Kiln and made out all the tiles, squat pits and cement. He has not sold that much money yet, so it is still easy to make money from the emperor.

Not only money, but with the will of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, he could even openly not go to work in the Ministry of Justice. Anyway, any record of the Ministry of Justice could do anything, and it was not impossible for him.

"Madam, I'm back!" Li Fei shouted into the yard.

After several palace guards put down the gold, they bowed to Li Fei and returned to the palace to report their lives. Before leaving, Li Fei each stuffed them ten taels of silver. They were about to work so hard to help him take so much gold home. If they didn't lose a penny, they would be too stingy.

Lin Shiyue walked out with a big belly with Huan'er's support.

Li Fei opened the box, and the boxes of gold shone with golden light under the sunlight, shining on the yard.

"Husband, you have brought back so much gold!" Lin Shiyue was shocked. In two days, eight thousand taels of gold were enough for the buyer Lin's family's family business for nearly a hundred years. His Majesty is too generous.

Huan'er's eyes were also shining with gold. My son-in-law was so powerful that she admired me. Unfortunately, why did my son-in-law look down on her? It was said that the lady was pregnant and her belly was so big. When she was born and cultivated, she would not be able to serve her at least half a year. Why would the son-in-law rather work hard than ask her to serve her instead of taking her on behalf of the lady?

She was originally the lady's personal maid, and she was destined to be a guest for her son-in-law when the lady was inconvenient.

What a grievance!

"Damn!" A horrifying voice came.

Li Fei looked up and saw that it was Cao Xiaozhong. As soon as he entered the door of the yard, he saw the box of golden gold in the middle of the yard. He was so scared that he took two steps back in disbelief.

After a moment, he came to Li Fei with two fat little eyes wide open, still staring at the gold in the box.

"This looks, this quality is so good! Brother, what did you do?" Cao Xiaozhong's saliva almost didn't flow out. People who like to do business often like money the most. Seeing Cao Xiaozhong's golden eyes, he wanted to carry Li Fei's gold into his arms.

"It was made in the palace. If you have the ability, you can get a box yourself. This box is mine!" Li Fei kindly reminded Cao Xiaozhong.

"Then let it go!" When Cao Xiaozhong heard that it was done in the palace, he immediately pulled his face down. Anyway, he definitely didn't have the ability, and he couldn't help but be jealous.

"Hey, brother, you are so powerful. I feel embarrassed to be ugly in front of you for the results of this month." Cao Xiaozhong sighed helplessly.

Today he is here to report to Li Fei on the sales of Zhaojiayao.

Given Cao Xiaozhong's interest and talent in business, Li Fei handed over all the tiles, squat pits and cement produced by Zhaojia Kiln to Cao Xiaozhong for sale. It has to be said that Li Fei's choice was too correct. Originally, ordinary tiles and squat pits were made into many tricks for Cao Xiaozhong. Only the changes in shape and patterns were made, the price was even two or three times different from ordinary ones, and the profit also increased significantly.

The so-called pattern is not a colored pattern, it is just a normal concave and concave carved before firing. In this way, it can also make Cao Xiaozhong sell for two or three times the price. In addition to Cao Xiaozhong really has many talent in doing business, it is also the same for many surrenders in Chang'an City. Who made those princes, ministers, and wealthy families not short of money at all?

In one month, the ceramic tiles, squat pits and cement fired from the large kiln were in short supply, and they were basically pulled away as soon as they were fired.

Originally, the Cao family and the Zhao family went to discuss with Li Fei to see if they would build a few more kilns to expand their production, but Li Fei refused. The so-called hungry sales, if the production is too much, it will become mass goods, rather than being given priority to people with high status and status, which will arouse others to follow the trend, sell at a better price, and also make the reputation of Zhaojia Kiln.

The porcelain of Zhaojia Kiln was originally the top porcelain in the Chang'an City area. Now all the officials and nobles in Chang'an City know about Zhaojia Kiln and are impressed. When buying porcelain in the future, they will subconsciously choose the porcelain of Zhaojia Kiln first, and the benefits will be long-term.

In a month, more than 2,300 pieces of tile were sold, nearly 100,000 pieces of ceramic tiles were sold, more than 600,000 kilograms of cement was sold, and the revenue was 100,000 taels, while the cost was less than 7,000 taels, which means that there was a profit of more than 93,000 taels.

In addition to 30% of the money given to Cao Xiaozhong and Zhao family, Li Fei still had more than 60,000 taels. In this month, including the rewards from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Fei had already earned more than 100,000 taels, and the Jingyang Marquis Mansion also had enough wealth.

Li Fei thought that after a month, the tiles and squat pits may have been copied, but no one dared to be the first to sell them, but the interests are touching and will soon appear on the market on a large scale, and a sharp drop in prices is inevitable.

Then it's time to offer cement.
