Chapter 429
"Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink pipa immediately urge, drunk lying on the battlefield Jun Mo smile, how many people have fought in ancient times?" Wang Xuan raised the wine glass in his hand, looked at the wine in the glass, and recited the poem that Liu Jian plagiarized, "Good poem, good poem!" Wang
Jian now does not dare to make any further comments on Liu Jun's poems, because he feels that if he and Liu Cong discuss poetry, they are not at the same level at all, and he only has to be a student. So he immediately asked someone to bring pen and paper to write down the poem.
"The poetry of the Lord is getting more and more..." Zhong Xiu stood up and let out a sigh, but he suddenly found that there were no words to praise or comment on the poems written by the Lord Gong. In the past, Zhong Xiu admired Cao Cao and Cao Zhi the most, and they could become poetry when they spoke. However, it was now found that the talent of the lord Liu Jun in poetry had far surpassed that of Cao Cao and Cao Zhi.
The other scribes, Ma Liang, Fa Zheng, Shi Guangyuan, Xiang Lang and others, were not good at poetry, and Dong Yun, Dong He, Fei Yi and others had just entered the Han King Mansion, which was inconvenient to evaluate. Of course, they are also sincerely impressed.
"The name of the Lord is good, luminous cup!" Liu Pan himself could not understand any poetry, but he found the name of this wine glass from the poem.
"Glow-in-the-dark cup, good name!"
"The master's poem is so wonderful that even the name given to the wine glass is unmatched!"
Listening to everyone's praise, Liu Wei enjoyed it, and he didn't feel blushing now, anyway, this was the advantage of the traverser.
"Today, King Ben will also give a gift to all the princesses!" Seeing the look of anticipation in the eyes of several ladies, Liu Jun 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 Jun, and gently opened it.
The princess and the courtiers kept their eyes fixed on the box at this time, although it was said to be given to the princess, but the mood of others who wanted to see it was just as urgent.
Shi Ah carefully took out a gift from the inside.
"Mirror, it's a mirror!" Wang Jue exclaimed.
The mirror sent by Western merchants, Wang Jue already liked it very much, and he immediately understood it when he saw this shape.
Shi Ah picked up the mirror and held it up for everyone to see, so everyone appeared clearly in the mirror.
"This... How can this be so clear? "
Everyone has seen mirrors, but such a clear mirror, but they have never seen it.
Of all the new things, among the courtiers, Ma Liang should see the most. The mirror of the Western merchant, he also saw. But I have never seen it so clear. In just that photo, Ma Liang found that his beard, his hair, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his forehead could be seen clearly one by one.
Ma Liang was surprised, how could others not be surprised?
"Master, what is this? It is several times clearer than that bronze mirror! "
Ha..." Liu Jun smiled, "This is the same as that wine glass, it is made of glass, but the method of making it is different!"
At this time, Shi A had already sent a mirror to each of the princesses, and the back of the mirror also had different patterns, and the princesses couldn't put it down.
Others wanted to take a closer look, but now they are all in the hands of the princess, how can they be embarrassed to look at it? But there were still people who secretly glanced at it a few times. The Han Dynasty is relatively open, if you put it in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, peek at the princess, it is a big crime!
"Don't worry, this luminous cup, each person will give a box tonight, this mirror, there are not many of them, each person will give one!"
"Thank you Wang Ye!"
"Thank you Wang Ye!"
Everyone was excited.
After the banquet, the Ministry of Works was busy, and Liu Jun was not idle, he seemed to be addicted to invention, and made some daily necessities, such as soap, soap, and toothpaste. These things are not laborious to make, but they are widely used in daily use, and I believe that they will definitely sell well.
In this era, people want to wash oil stains, in addition to some natural soap pods, which are extracted from lard and other items with a cleaning effect, the effect is not only not good, but also expensive, because the cost is very high!
After soap, soap, etc. were made, after being used in the royal palace and the homes of the eunuchs, the demand immediately exceeded the supply, and some ministers went to find Wang Xuan every day.
The Ministry of Works immediately expanded the workshop and recruited experienced masters, of course, those who used lard to make cleansing items, and then vigorously produced them.
Fortunately, the method of production is not complicated, as soon as you learn it, it is not as strict as Fei Lei, and the production will soon rise.
The merchants' sense of smell is very sensitive, the Dahan Chamber of Commerce is overcrowded, and now the Qianzhuang has been opened to Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Sizhi, and even Jizhou, Jiangdong, Huainan and other places, and is also under preparation. So merchants don't have to carry a lot of money and goods, just carry some silver tickets in their pockets.
The printing of silver tickets, which was under the control of the Han royal government, added some simple anti-counterfeiting in this era, and others could not do it. And it is not a blind seal, and what is sent out is equivalent to the money and goods received.
Western merchants are also very welcome to the silver ticket of the Great Han, who wants to carry a few carts of money to do business? Moreover, the silver ticket of the Great Han was printed by the King of Han, and the King of Han represented integrity.
In the study of the Han Dynasty, Liu summoned Wang Jian and Ma Jing, along with Charles, a yellow-haired, blue-eyed Western merchant.
After Wang Jing and Ma Jing finished saluting Liu Jun, Charles also saluted Liu Jun respectfully, and said in stiff Chinese: "Meet the King of Han, you are the God in the hearts of our Western merchants, and I am very happy to see you."
"Mr. Charles, are you in the wine business?" Liu Li heard Ma Jing say that the wine he drank that day was given by Charles.
"Good, but I'm going back?"
"Oh?" Liu Wei looked at Charles, "What is the reason why Mr. Charles no longer does business in Han?"
"Dear King Han, your protection of merchants makes me happy to come to Dahan, and I also express my sincerest thanks to you on behalf of all our merchants in the West. But the sales of wine were so bad that for some unknown reason, the common people did not like to drink it, even the gentlemen and ladies of the eunuchs.
"So it is!" Liu Qi nodded, he had thought of this problem for a long time, the wine was poured into the bronze wine bottle, in today's words, the sales are too poor, no different from a bowl of medicine, how can this have good sales? "And Mr. Charles, how are sales lately?"
"It's rising, but it's not enough to sustain my livelihood in Dahan!"
"Mr. Charles, King Ben has a way to increase the sales of wine several times, so you still want to return to China?" Liu Jun smiled and said to Charles.
