Priest Aige was originally discouraged, but when he heard Zhu Youxiao said that he would give him money, he immediately became energetic. He nodded like a chicken pecking rice and said: "Your Majesty, your kindness and generosity are enough to light up the night. I am willing." Anything for you!"
Zhu Youxiao pointed at Mahaqi and said: "What I want you to do is very simple, which is to teach Mahaqi and his companions Chinese. However, I don't have much time to wait for you, so I can only give you three months." , of course, I will give you money first to build a church, but if you cannot let Mahachi and others master basic communication skills in three months, you will be punished as you deserve!"
Although Priest Egger felt uneasy, for the sake of his mission, he still solemnly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will do my best!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded, looked at Xu Guangqi and said: "Xu Aiqing, you did a good job this time. Please pay more attention to the affairs of Priest Aige and those Western officers in the future. You can tell them that before they join our army, Before, I could pay them a monthly salary of ten taels of silver. When they join my army, the salary will be calculated based on their abilities. Now you can take them and retreat!"
Xu Guangqi bowed and said: "Old minister, I understand, I will resign!"
Immediately, under the command of Li Jinzhong, Priest Aige, Olemos, and Makhach kowtowed and resigned!
Zhu Youxiao said to Li Jinzhong again: "Bring in the man just now!"
Li Jinzhong agreed and left in a hurry!
Zhu Youxiao then smiled at Li Laohan and said, "Master Li, how many new rifled muskets can be produced per month?"
Li Laohan had just watched a Western scene for a while. When he saw Zhu Youxiao asking, he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, although this kind of musket is powerful, the rifling in the barrel is too difficult to extract. Ten barrels can only be used to draw out the rifling." One or two, so now the workshop takes out a hundred barrels a month to practice. In this way, it can make more than 20 barrels a month at most. However, some people are already thinking about using a lathe to eviscerate the thread. If it can be done, A thousand dollars a month is no problem!¡±
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Very good, let's do it! This time I am very satisfied with the firearms workshop and glass workshop. You go back and bring 20,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels on each side, and distribute the silver according to the rules." , and then submit the order!¡±
Li Laohan was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly to thank him. As for the rules Zhu Youxiao mentioned, they were the reward and punishment regulations set by Zhu Youxiao for the Manufacturing Office, which detailedly regulated the reward and punishment system for the Manufacturing Office. At the same time, it is required that all rewards and punishments be documented and reported to the Supervisor of Ceremonies!
Of course, in order to prevent anyone from engaging in malpractice for personal gain, the Manufacturing Office is now the focus of Dongchang¡¯s attention, and the Supervisor of Ceremonies will also check the accounts regularly and irregularly. In short, he is trying his best to avoid corruption in the Manufacturing Office!
After Li Laohan left, Weisman was brought to Zhu Youxiao again. When this shameless bastard appeared in front of Zhu Youxiao again, his eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes, looking at Zhu Youxiao. It even has a hint of piety!
"Your name is Weisman?" Looking at Weisman lying on the ground, Zhu Youxiao asked, shaking the exquisite and pure glass in his hand.
"Yes! Your great and rich Majesty, the villain is Weisman, a Portuguese noble!" Weisman looked at the dazzling wine glass and felt that smoke was rising from his throat. This was not because of thirst, but because of He has never seen such a beautiful wine glass!
"You are a businessman, and I want to do some business with you, but I don't know how to trust you!" Zhu Youxiao took a sip of wine and said playfully.
"Your great and rich Majesty, Weisman is the most honest businessman in the world. No matter what kind of business it is, as long as it is handed over to villains, you will get huge profits!" Weisman quickly put gold on his face, he really I can't imagine how much gold I would bring if I could do business with the emperor in front of me!
"Since you said so, come up and see how much money these things in front of me are worth!" Zhu Youxiao pointed to the utensils on the table in front of him and said!
"No problem! The villain has traveled around the world for many years and knows the price of any commodity very well!" Weisman said and quickly walked into the pavilion!
Regarding Weisman¡¯s sudden and rude behavior, no one was afraid that he would hurt Zhu Youxiao, because no one believed that this greedy and stupid foreigner would get as close as three feet in front of Zhu Youxiao!
In fact, there were no utensils placed on the table in front of Zhu Youxiao, only a goblet, a gold-plated dragon glass wine bottle, and a hollow fruit plate filled with fruits!
Although there are only three vessels, they are all handmade by the manufacturing office and the official kiln. Needless to say, the hollow flower fruit plate is colorful.The colors are gorgeous, the painting is exquisite, and the porcelain is as warm and moist as jade. At first glance, it is a work of art!
The two pieces of glassware came from the glass shop of the Manufacturing Office, which was upgraded from the original Liulishang. The current glass shop of the Manufacturing Office can not only produce solid-color glassware, flat glass, and glass mirrors, but also Under the guidance of Zhu Youxiao, various colored craft glass products were produced!
That golden silk dragon wine pot is the best product produced by the glass shop. It is a glass wine vessel with a round belly and a straight mouth, and a dragon with golden wings and golden scales is coiled on it. It makes people feel dizzy just looking at it!
Weisman felt like he was suffocating now, and the sweat on his face couldn't help but drip down.
This is not to say that Weisman is ignorant. Although his character was belittled by Priest Egger, he is still a declining nobleman. He has seen a lot of good things in his travels over the years!
This time Weisman came to Ming Dynasty mainly because he realized that American gold and silver were becoming more and more abundant in Europe. Those European nobles holding real gold and silver naturally wanted to enjoy a more comfortable and luxurious life!
Silk, porcelain, and tea from the East have become the capital for European aristocrats to show off their wealth. If a nobleman has no silk on his body and no porcelain at home, he cannot have afternoon tea in the afternoon. Even if his home is built with gold, he has no shame to come out to see it. people!
But when Weisman arrived in Ming Dynasty after all the hard work, he discovered that this deal was not easy to do, because although the Dutch controlled Taiwan, the Portuguese controlled Macau!
But the Ming Dynasty is not the rich but backward countries in Africa and the Americas. Although this huge empire has no intention of entering the world, it is impossible to open the door of the Ming Dynasty with guns!
Therefore, the Europeans who were plundering wildly all over the world could only do business honestly in the Ming Dynasty, using the silver they laboriously transported from Europe and America to exchange for silk, porcelain, and tea from the people of the Ming Dynasty!
Since the source of goods was controlled in the hands of the Ming Dynasty people, the pricing power was naturally controlled in the hands of the Ming Dynasty people. Although a piece of porcelain shipped from the Ming Dynasty to Europe could earn ten or even dozens of times the profit, Weisman had Funds, however, prevented him from participating in this business at all!
It is precisely because of this that Weisman, who was staying in Macau, heard that the emperor of the Ming Empire wanted to recruit craftsmen, scholars, soldiers, and businessmen, so he followed him to Beijing to try his luck!
But at this moment, Weisman felt that his choice was extremely correct, because he had already seen the golden and silver mountains waving to him!
"Oh God! As long as I get these three things back to Europe, even the Spanish princess will be willing to marry me because of them!" Weisman shouted in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on the utensils on the table without blinking!
"If someone could exclusively operate these utensils, do you think he would become the richest man in Europe?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Weisman's greedy look and asked with a smile.
"No!" Weisman replied subconsciously: "If someone can exclusively handle these magical treasures, he will become the richest man in the world!"
"No!" The smile on Zhu Youxiao's face became even stronger: "These are made by my craftsmen, so the richest person in the world can only be me!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel. com
