"Glow-in-the-dark cup of fine grape wine. If you want to drink, play the pipa immediately. Lord Don't laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield. How many battles have there been in ancient times?" Wang Can raised the wine glass in his hand, looked at the wine in the glass, and recited the poem plagiarized by Liu Cong. I said it again, "What a poem, what a poem!"
Wang Can no longer dares to comment on Liu Cong's poetry because he feels that he and Liu Congruo are not on the same level when discussing poetry and essays. He is only a student. So I immediately asked someone to bring a pen and paper to write down this poem.
"My lord's poems are becoming more and more" Zhong Yao stood up and sighed, but he suddenly found that there were no words to praise or comment on his lord's poems. In the past, Zhong Yao admired Cao Cao and Cao Zhi the most. They could write poems out of their mouths. But now it is discovered that the lord Liu Cong's talent in poetry has far exceeded that of Cao Cao and Cao Zhi.
Other scribes, such as Ma Liang, Fazheng, Shi Guangyuan, and Xiang Lang, are not good at poetry. Dong Yun, Dong He, Fei Yi, and others have just entered the Han Dynasty, so it is inconvenient to comment. Of course, they all admired him sincerely.
"My lord named it well, the luminous cup!" Liu Pan didn't understand any poetry, but he found the name of the wine cup from the poem.
"Glow-in-the-dark cup, what a name!"
¡°My lord¡¯s poems are incomparably wonderful, even the name he gave to his wine glass is unparalleled!¡±
Liu Cong enjoyed hearing the praises from everyone, and he didn¡¯t feel blushing now. Anyway, this is the advantage of a time traveler.
"Today, I will also send a gift to each of the princesses!" Seeing the expectant looks in the eyes of the ladies, Liu Cong thought that they had been waiting for a long time, so he quickly said, "Shi A , take out the gift for the princess!"
"No!"
Shi A opened the box again, took out a small box, took it over, placed it on the desk in front of Liu Cong, and opened it gently.
The princess and the ministers kept their eyes on the box at this time. Although it was said to be for the princess, the others were equally eager to see it.
Shi A carefully took out a gift from it.
"Mirror, it's a mirror!" Wang Jue screamed.
Wang Jue already liked the mirrors sent by Western merchants. He immediately understood the shape when he saw it.
Shi A picked up the mirror and held it up for everyone to take a look, so everyone appeared clearly in the mirror.
"Howhow can this be so clear?"
Everyone has seen mirrors, but they have never seen such a clear mirror.
Of all the new things, Ma Liang should have seen the most among all the ministers. He has also seen the mirrors of Western merchants. But I have never seen it so clearly. With just one photo, Ma Liang discovered that his beard, his hair, and even the wrinkles on his forehead could be clearly seen one by one.
Ma Liang was surprised, how could others not be surprised?
"My lord, what is this made of? It's several times clearer than that bronze mirror!"
"Ha" Liu Cong smiled, "This is the same as the wine glass. It is made of glass, but the production method is different!"
At this time, Shi A has given each of the princesses a mirror. There are also different patterns on the back of the mirror. The princesses can't put it down one by one.
Others wanted to take a closer look, but now it is in the hands of the princess, so how can they be embarrassed to look at it? But some people still took a few furtive glances. The Han Dynasty was relatively open, but in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it would be a serious crime to take a peek at the princess!
"Don't worry, everyone, each person will receive a box of this luminous cup tonight. This mirror, the quantity is not much, each person will receive one!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everybody was excited.
After the banquet, the Ministry of Industry became busy, and Liu Cong was not idle either. He seemed to be addicted and produced some daily necessities, such as soap, toilet soap, and toothpaste. These things are not troublesome to make, but they are widely used in daily life. I believe they will definitely sell well.
In this era, people want to wash away oil stains. In addition to some natural soap locusts, they are a kind of cleaning product extracted from lard. Not only is the effect not good, but it is also expensive because the cost is very high!
After soaps, scented soaps, etc. were produced and used in the palaces and officials' homes, the supply immediately exceeded the demand. Some ministers went to Wang Can every day.
The Ministry of Industry will immediately expand the workshop and recruit experiencedMasters, of course, refer to those who use lard to make cleaning products and then produce them vigorously.
Fortunately, the production method is not complicated, and you can learn it once you learn it. It is not as strict as Feilei, and the output can be increased quickly.
Merchants have a very keen sense of smell, and the Dahan Chamber of Commerce is overcrowded. Banks have now opened in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Sili, and are even being prepared for establishment in Jizhou, Jiangdong, Huainan and other places. Therefore, merchants do not need to carry a large amount of money and belongings, just carry some banknotes in their pockets.
The printing of silver notes was under the control of the Han Dynasty. In this era, some simple anti-counterfeiting measures were added, and others could not do it. And it is not a blind seal, the money and goods sent out must be equivalent to the money and materials received.
Western merchants are also very welcome to Han¡¯s banknotes. Who is willing to carry several carts of money to do business? Moreover, the Han Dynasty's banknotes were printed by the King of Han. The King of Han represented integrity.
In the study room of the Han Palace, Liu Cong summoned Wang Can and Ma Jing, as well as Charles, a Western merchant with yellow hair and blue eyes.
After Wang Can and Ma Jing saluted Liu Cong, Charles also bowed respectfully to Liu Cong and said in blunt Chinese: "Greetings to the King of Han, you are the God in the hearts of our Western merchants. I am very happy to see you."
"Mr. Charles, are you in the wine business?" Liu Cong heard from Ma Jing that the wine he drank that day was a gift from Charles.
"That's good, but am I ready to go back?"
"Oh?" Liu Cong looked at Charles, "What is the reason why Mr. Charles no longer does business as a man?"
"Dear King of Han, your protection of merchants makes me happy to come to Dahan. On behalf of all our merchants in the West, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you. However, the sales of wine are so poor. For some unknown reason, the common people do not like to drink it. Even the gentlemen and ladies of the official family don¡¯t like to drink it.¡±
"That's it!" Liu Cong nodded. He had thought of this problem a long time ago. The wine was poured into a bronze wine bottle. In today's terms, it looked so bad that it was no different from a bowl of boiled medicine. How could this be possible? Are there good sales? "So Mr. Charles, how are the recent sales?"
¡°It has increased, but it is not enough to maintain my livelihood in Dahan!¡±
"Mr. Charles, I have a way to increase the sales of wine several times. Do you still want to return to China?" Liu Cong said to Charles with a smile on his face.
