Chapter 299 The collapse of the decisive battle
Wang Ning'an is not a person with strong hands-on ability. He took a lot of effort to make gunpowder. As for glass, cement, etc., he only knew that after a long time of hard work, he still couldn't burn out colorless and transparent glass, but it was fine to act as a mirror, at least with eight streets of clarity.
The most important thing is that this thing is extremely low cost, just sand. A few months ago, when the Wang family and his son deployed this drama, the Bai family had secretly dispatched 500 workers to Changsheng Island to work with the craftsmen there.
Two months ago, Bai ordered a larger workshop in Wild Wolf Valley. As the Wang family's horse farm, the defense was not only tight, but they were all their confidants, so the news would not be leaked.
In this way, after a intensive rush to work, the first batch of 300,000 glass mirrors were sent to the capital by Bao Zheng, and then 500,000 will be delivered one after another.
Once the glazed mirror was launched, it completely reversed the market balance.
The cost of glass itself is very low, at least hundreds of times worse than copper-tin alloy, and glass mirrors can also be made very large. For example, the largest glass mirror sold now has a diameter of one and a half feet. In the past, such a large bronze mirror had at least a thousand slabs.
In addition, the decoration of the glass mirror is much richer than that of the bronze mirror. If you add a wooden frame, you can also change it to gold and silver, or even turquoise, and you can also inlaid with jewelry, which is luxurious and domineering.
The most important thing is that an ordinary glass mirror only costs 500 texts, 500 texts! It is 4 times cheaper than a bronze mirror!
Open supply, no restrictions, is there any!
An old woman bought a mirror, turned around and was squeezed out by the crowd, and fell to the ground and broke. When the old woman was shocked and distressed, a young man with long face took a more delicate side and stuffed it to the old woman.
"The glazed mirror, within seven days, there is a quality problem or damage caused by unintentional mistakes, and you will get a free return and exchange!"
"OMG!"
This move is so beautiful!
The people burst into warm applause, and they finally believed that the glass mirrors were not only sufficient in quantity and fair in price, but also far clearer than the bronze mirrors... The clumsy bronze mirrors at home could completely withdraw from the stage.
Too many people have put in their efforts to this day, the Imperial City Department, the Palace Front Department, the Cao Family, the Yang Family, the Pan Family, the Liu Family, the Gao Family... Everyone went out together, holding glass mirrors, selling them all over the world, and telling everyone the news.
Bianjing not only gathered merchants from the Song Dynasty, but also countless foreign merchants. The news was always the most developed. The glass mirror was put into the market, like a bolt from the blue, blowing everyone up to burn out the outside and tender inside and smoking.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that in addition to minting coins, the main purpose of copper is to make bronze mirrors, accounting for more than 60% of all copperware.
As soon as the glass mirror appeared, the bronze mirror was completely abandoned.
The bronze mirror was scrapped, and the original supply of copper ware was short of demand, which quickly eased.
On the other side, Di Qing brought the soldiers and carried millions of kilograms of copper ingots into Kaifeng, and another heavy hammer hit everyone's heart.
It's over!
Don't think about going back to the price of copper.
According to the current price on the market, a bronze mirror weighing a pound was originally sold for more than 20 jin, but Wang Ning'an overwhelmed two jin. A glass mirror of the same size sold for 500 jin, and no one wanted a bronze mirror of 300 jin. It dropped 70% at once.
The prices of other copper basins, copper pots, etc. have all plummeted. The five-pound copper basins are only about 3 jin left. After deducting manual expenses and commercial taxes, the profit will only be a few hundred cents, and the profit will suddenly fall back to normal levels.
The entire distorted market was completely defeated back to its original form, and in less than a day, everyone was like riding a roller coaster. However, some people experienced the stimulation of their heartbeats, while others experienced the heartbreak and despair!
...
In the Royal Bank Hall, delivery has begun.
Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing were responsible for supporting the big players who came to run. In almost half an hour, they exchanged 150,000 pieces. The people above were aware of it. After deducting Di Qing, Wang Deyong, and Bao Zheng’s three-way reinforcement, the inventory of Royal Bank was only 400,000 or 500,000 pieces, and they could be exchanged quickly. If you can’t get the things out, Royal Bank will be finished!
Wen Ji Fu, Bichen and others who were waiting in the hall were also excited. They had already calculated that Wang Ning'an could not turn the tables and could finally enjoy the fruits of victory.
Bichen stretched comfortably and stretched. When he turned his head, he suddenly found a little monk running towards him.
Bichen was shocked, you are looking for death, didn’t you see it? I’m wearing a wig!
He was about to scold a few words and drove the little monk away, but the little guy rushed to him and lay on the ground.
"Master, it's over, it's all over!"
"Where did the wild monk come from? Who is your master? Get out of here? I don't know you!" Bichen was still trying to clear him, but the little monk was already crying. He took out a glass mirror from his arms and raised it over his head.
Bichen saw herself in the mirror, with pretty eyebrows and handsome men, and women with good skin are jealous. Although she is almost forty years old, she looks like she is just in her early thirties... It's not right, how could she be so clear? It's countless times clearer than a bronze mirror!
His head buzzed, Bichen snatched it and said in horror: "What is this?"
"Wuwuwu, Master, this is the glass mirror, the latest mirror."
"How much does it cost?" Bichen is still powerful enough. As long as the price of this thing is high enough, there is still a market for bronze mirrors.
The little monk honestly told the price, Bichen breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "It turns out that you want 500 quotas!?"
Bichen suddenly jumped up in shock, and even the wig on his head fell off, revealing his shiny head. People around him exclaimed, thinking why did the monk get involved?
Bichen ignored the horror of the people around him, "You tell me again, how much does it cost?"
"Ahem! No need for him to say, let me tell you."
Wang Ning'an slowly walked down the stairs with a smile, "Master Bichen, is it you? I have been looking forward to Daming for a long time. Although we have met for the first time, we have been fighting for several months and are considered as confidants. I might as well reveal some commercial secrets to you. This glass is burned with sand and stones. It is now 500 ci. It will be fine if you have been in three or two years. It will be fine to drop to 50 ci. And it can get bigger and bigger. Make a five or six-foot floor-to-ground mirror and put it at home and look at it every day, so that it will make women intoxicated and reluctant to leave!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Bichen's mind was blank. He knew better than anyone else what effect would the cheap glass mirror suddenly appear.
"You are a lie. This thing is so good. It must be ten times more expensive than a bronze mirror, a hundred times more expensive!!" Bichen screamed wildly, and Wang Ning'an just looked at it coldly, it was so cool!
I pretended to be a grandson who had been for several months and asked you local tyrants to bully him. Do you really think that I am a vegetarian?
Wang Ning'an raised his head and stared at the direction of the door. Several people had just retreated from the hall, including Zhao Zongpu and Zhao Zongchu!
Prince Runan! Zhao Yunrang!
Originally, I didn't want to fight with you father and son, and I didn't have the intention to support Zhao Zongjing in fighting for the throne. But now, it's best for Zhao Zhen to give birth to a son. If I can't give birth, I will also help the second guy fight for the throne. Remember it for me, let's settle the accounts one by one. If you don't destroy your Runan Palace, I won't call Wang Ning'an!
There are also the civil servants in the court, Wang Ning'an's little black book, with names all over my mind. I have nothing else to do, just hold grudges, please wait! Anyone who provokes me will have to pay the price!
...
Wang Ning'an looked calm on the outside, but his blood was boiling, surging and turbulent.
The Chakong Hall.
Zhao Zhen stood at the entrance of the hall and looked outside the palace. He seemed to see countless people losing their money, losing all their money, crying and robbing the world, like losing their parents... It's so cool, it's so cool!
Being the emperor for a lifetime, this time Zhao Zhen felt the taste of the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five, and the resentment suppressed in his heart was wiped out!
For Zhao Zhen, these few months are simply a story of the appearance of the officialdom!
He saw the faces of too many people clearly. In the past, these people were very powerful, so he could only helplessly insert his head into the sand to pretend to be an ostrich.
This time it was different. He won, not only morally but also on the battlefield.
Victory really belongs to him!
The civil servants used all kinds of despicable methods, but Wang Ning'an was killed by a fallen flower and water. Let's wait. God will punish you, and I will punish you too!
In the Political Affairs Hall, Tang Jie followed Bao Zheng to Beijing.
The old master took a glass mirror and asked his subordinates to pay 500 quotas. Then he returned to the Political Affairs Hall and placed this thing in front of everyone.
The first thing that came to his senses was Zeng Gongliang. He picked up the glass mirror and looked carefully. As a technician, Zeng Gongliang knew some ways to make glass, but the craftsmanship in front of him was more sophisticated and had better light transmission, which was a hundred times stronger than a bronze mirror!
Seeing this, Zeng Gongliang suddenly burst into laughter, and tears came out of his eyes.
"Okay, Wang Erlang, he is indeed a master among the masters, and he still has this trick hidden!"
Zeng Gongliang laughed wildly and looked at the other people with pity.
"It's over, the price of copper is over! Don't you want to destroy Wang Ning'an? No, he didn't collapse! In one night, the price of copper plummeted. I spent a few jin of money on one jin, but still more than ten jin of money. I stocked up so many copper materials and bronze ware... I was in vain. This thing only costs 500 jin! The future bronze mirror will not exceed 300 jin. Why? Do you know? Because 300 copper coins are just over one jin! The price of copper ware is the same as copper coins!"
Zeng Gongliang didn't care whether the few people present could understand it. He walked out with a crazy smile, and his heart felt like he had opened two doors. The spring breeze blew in, comfortable and refreshing!
He seemed to have found the feeling of being young, and he had also been in the Song Dynasty to eliminate bad policies and promote bad things. Once upon a time, he became the most despised corpse-like corpse-like person in his youth. He was old, old, and impulsive. Fortunately, he would not be shameless to see others!
Zeng Gongliang left, Tang Jie went home and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors, Jia Changchao also pretended to ask His Majesty to punish him, but the few people who were really guilty had no time to worry about it. Fu Bi immediately asked Wen Jifu to come. He wanted to know what the situation had been and whether he could be cured...
