"Shopkeeper, how much does this kind of small mirror cost?" A wealthy businessman passed by here and saw the mirror. He picked up a mirror the size of a palm and asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper replied: "There are two types of frames. One is the relatively ordinary frame, divided into one hundred taels and one hundred fifty taels. The second is the royal standard, which was created by the craftsmen in the palace silver bureau. The frame with gold is one thousand taels."

The merchant was surprised that the price was cheaper than the mirrors transported by Franj, but the mirrors made by the palace craftsmen of one thousand taels apart made him interested and asked quickly, "Let me see if you have one thousand taels."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper quickly asked the guy to bring a mirror with a gold frame, the size of a palm, but the workmanship was extremely exquisite. The pattern on it was lifelike and it was definitely a work of ornamental art.

"I want this." The rich businessman took out a silver note for Shanxi bill on the spot and asked again: "How much does the largest mirror cost?"

"These fitting mirrors are divided into three levels, the ordinary grades are divided into 1,500 taels and 1,800 taels. There is also a 'deluxe version'. The wood is made of high-quality mahogany and is also inlaid with gold and silver. It is also the craft of making a palace silver, and it is sold at one side for 10,000 taels."

While introducing the shopkeeper, he took the wealthy businessman to see the luxurious fitting mirror. It was indeed extremely luxurious, with gold and silver inlaid, sufficient wood, and exquisite craftsmanship.

"There is also the last 'Supreme Deluxe Edition', which uses golden nanmu. This tree is currently very small, and there is not much material left in the royal family. Especially recently, the death of Shenzong and Xizong, a lot of golden nanmu were used when building the imperial tombs. In addition, not only were there gold and silver, but also ninety-nine-eighty-one various gems."

"This, how much is this supreme luxury version?" The rich businessman was stunned. He looked at the mirror inlaid with ninety-one gems inlaid in front of him and was shocked. It was so luxurious!

"It's not expensive, you can take it home for 100,000 taels of silver." The shopkeeper said with a relaxed look on his face. The price made the rich businessman stunned on the spot. After a while, he came to his senses. He sighed with a pity and said, "Let me give me a 10,000 tael! If this mirror is broken, it will do what it means?"

"It was broken within three years. The royal family sent a warranty for craftsmen, and only a few hundred taels of wages were charged. After three years, it was broken, and the mirror was repaired at one thousand taels at a time." The shopkeeper introduced.

"Okay, then I'll want it." The rich businessman decided, and then asked the shopkeeper: "Does those glasses be used for windows?"

"Yes, there are all sizes and specifications, one thousand taels of silver per side. If the guest is willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver, the royal family can also allow you to use royal glazed tiles to decorate the house." The shopkeeper introduced that glazed tiles are a thing that can only be used in royal palaces, and people will lose their heads when they are used.

The rich businessman was shocked by the price. After looking at the beautiful glazed tiles in the ding department of the glazed store, he still sighed. It was too expensive and I really couldn't afford it!

"Let me give me a ten-sided glass window! But how to install it after buying it?" asked the wealthy businessman, and the shopkeeper replied: "The Royal will send craftsmen to install it."

"That's worry-free." The rich businessman nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, in the royal restaurant opposite the Liuli Store, Zhu Youxiaozheng sat by the window with a group of dog legs, observing the business of Liuli Store.

Zhu Youxiao left the palace again in a very short dress. The opening of a Liuli Store is naturally a matter of finance. Naturally, I have to come and see it in person. Li Jinzhong stood by and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Youxiao, then poked his head out and looked at the Liuli Store below. He asked Zhu Youxiao worriedly: "Young Master, are these glass mirrors and glass windows too expensive? Will anyone really buy them?"

"Who knows! Anyway, we are so rare that we can open the price there, just wait for the fool to come." Zhu Youxiao picked up the teacup and took a sip. Li Jinzhong was stunned, waiting for the fool to come to the door. He asked, "What if there is no fool?"

"What fools should have is just more or less a problem." Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "When we finish the fool's business, we can slowly reduce the price and continue to expand the scale."

At this moment, a little eunuch ran up with a look of ecstasy, "Emperor... Young Master, the glass mirror and glass window were sold, and a wealthy businessman bought 21,000 taels of silver."

"There are really a fool." Li Jinzhong looked dull, completely beyond his expectations.

What was even more unexpected was that the glass mirror soon caused a sensation in the capital, and a large number of people flocked to the royal glass shop to look at the mirror. Everyone wanted to see their appearance clearly, especially in this era when most of them were still using bronze mirrors, and the people felt very fresh about the mirror.

A large group of people flocked into the store, resulting in the business being unable to be done. In order to maintain order, the shopkeeper set a threshold outside the door. Those who enter the store must pay one tael of silver first, blocking the fun from outside.

However, there are still many nobles and rich people who visited the store. There were many mirrors sold on the first day. Not many of them were small mirrors priced at 100 taels of silver and 150 taels of silver. The small mirror with 1000 taels of silver was also sold for six sides. The ordinary large mirror sold for more than thirty sides. The luxury version only sold for two sides. The Supreme Deluxe version has not been sold yet.

On the first day alone, the royal store earned 120,000 taels of silver, and the cost was less than one percent, which was almost negligible, and it was a huge profit.

On the second day, all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital knew about it, and sales increased further.

The high-ranking officials and nobles of this era basically had no place to spend when they were too much money. The biggest expense was to buy land, build houses, and be extravagant in terms of food and beauty. Or buy antique calligraphy, paintings, gold, silver and jewelry.

Many rich people are so painful that they have too much money.

Glass mirrors are exquisitely made and are more clearly reflected than bronze mirrors, which is a kind of thing to show off wealth. At the same time, glass windows can also make them live more comfortable. For rich people who are extravagant and extremely lustful, it is definitely worth spending.

It is a bit expensive, but how can it show their grade if it is not expensive? Moreover, this is the royal glass used by the royal family, so how can it be said that it is not expensive?

So the next day, sales soared to 380,000 taels.

In just two days, he earned 500,000 taels of silver. The speed of making money was faster than robbery. After Zhu Youxiao returned to the palace, he learned that the sales of the next day had increased and his face was filled with smiles.

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Deluxe Glazed Mirror has not been sold yet, and no one has bought a 100,000 tael of glazed tiles." Li Jinzhong estimated: "I'm afraid I can't sell it anymore."

"If you can't sell it, just put it!" Zhu Youxiao didn't care. The Supreme Deluxe Edition fitting mirror was only made one side. Glazed tiles and other things were not stocked. It doesn't matter whether it could be sold or not. It's like a prize draw, just wait for the rich to take action.

The next morning, Zhu Youxiao came to Huangji Gate. After the ministers bowed, the Donglin Party members jumped out to accuse the emperor. **xing replied: "Report to the emperor, the glazed tiles are exclusively for the royal family, so how can they be sold for money? Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Don't I just want to spend money? There are many people in the palace and concubines of all dynasties. How much money can people eat horses every day? Now there is no silver in the treasury, and you don't let me collect commercial taxes. I sell some glass to make money. What are you doing?" Zhu Youxiao got angry and patted the dragon throne and said angrily.

The Donglin Party members were stunned for a moment when they were scolded. They never expected that the emperor would speak so rudely. What is bb?

However, the Donglin Party members were happy. It seemed that the emperor was collecting commercial tax in order to get some money to spend, which immediately dispelled Zhu Youxiao's concerns about levying commercial tax.

"Since Your Majesty has made money by selling glass, you must not mention the commercial tax. "**xing said, "It doesn't matter what the emperor is like, just don't collect commercial tax. Emperor Wanli has also done this kind of betrayal of the royal system. In order to make money, Emperor Wanli allowed the people to wear yellow clothes.

So this is not the first time that such a thing happened. Although the Donglin Party was a joke, it was not necessary to fight to the end.
