Chapter 1005: spies

Mu Yangling continued: "But I plan to expand two workshops. In the past, as long as it was an order, we would accept it in our workshop, no matter how big or small, and because of the small amount of goods, we also set a limit, and each person could only buy a maximum of 1,000 pieces within half a year. , I plan to operate separately now. The smaller workshops are dedicated to taking small orders, and the limit is still the same, while the larger workshops will take large orders from you people. The upper limit is 10,000 pieces per person per year. Mix it up again."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they couldn't help themselves, which meant that they only had to queue up with people who could afford large orders, and the speed would be much faster. Most importantly, the amount they could get in a year changed from 2,000 to directly. Twelve thousand.

"But I have a requirement that if you place the largest order, you must place another thousand orders of foreigner clocks and glazed products, all of which will be sold to me overseas. If they are sold domestically to foreigners, the price cannot be lower than the cost I sold to you. ." Mu Yangling smiled and said to everyone word by word: "Don't worry, you won't suffer a loss, but the loss on the road may be a little big, so you have to bear it yourself."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and only recovered after getting the quotation. The price of the things sold to foreigners was 20% higher than the price sold to them. If the price of the clock was increased because of different numbers in it, then why is the glazed product? ?

These things are exactly the same as those sold in China.

There is only one thought left in everyone's mind, the princess is designing foreigners.

"As long as you agree to this condition, I will be able to fulfill your largest order before the New Year."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they agreed without thinking. Ten thousand orders seem to be a lot, but with the Spring Festival holiday, they will definitely make a lot of money, don't they just add two thousand more orders? The higher the price, the higher the price. They are slowly selling overseas. There is always a way.

It is convenient for sea merchants to pull directly to the boat, and they should be able to sell out in one trip.

It is easier for merchants who do not do maritime trade. Go back and discuss with the maritime merchants, or help to bring goods out, or sell them cheaply.

A few people wanted to sell well, and they rushed to place orders on the spot. Each of them would have 10,000 orders at a time, and it would take half a month for one person behind.

Sitting behind the screen, Mu Yangling drank tea slowly, and Lichun admired it in his heart. In fact, the production efficiency of the two workshops was not as low as it was imagined. , After half a year can accumulate a lot.

The most important thing is that with the inventory of the past six months as a basis, the workshop has freed up its hands to recruit more workers. As long as it takes only one month of training, the output can be greatly increased. The reported orders still have to be queued, but the time will definitely be shortened a lot. .

Moreover, Zhu Lianggang reported that they had reduced the cost by another 20%. As a result, Wang Fuguang did not know how much money these two workshops made. Even if they devoted some of their energy to designing foreigners, the workshops would not be chaotic.

Waiting for Zhu Liang's good list to be presented to Mu Yangling, Mu Yangling asked Zhu Liang to greet the patriarchs, but left Zhou De, the patriarch of the Zhou family.

Zhou De left with a smile on his face in the eyes of others with envy and hatred.

No one thinks it is rude for the palace to ask a housekeeper to greet them. The status of businessmen is low. They want to do business with the powerful, and most of them are dealing with people like the housekeeper. This time I can see the princess, and the princess will talk to them in person. They are very friendly. Flattered.

Not all people are like Fan Guogong and Princess Qi who don't mind business affairs and are willing to come forward in person.

After Zhou De and the others left, they restrained the smiles on their faces and stood respectfully to one side. Mu Yangling came out from behind the screen and said to him, "Master Zhou, sit down."

"Thank you, Princess." After Zhou De saluted, he sat halfway on the chair.

"Master Zhou, do you know why I left you alone?"

"Young and stupid, please ask the princess to teach me." Zhou De bowed his head a little nervously.

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Master Zhou, don't be nervous, we just talk normally. I heard that our ship is going to go out to sea recently?"

"Yes," Zhou De said: "I have chosen a day in three days, and plan to go to Nanyang before the New Year."

"There are several foreigners' ships going to sea recently."

"They are going back to their own country," Zhou De laughed. "According to those Westerners, the storms on the route will be much smaller at this time of year, so in previous years they chose this time to set off."

Mu Yangling nodded secretly and said, "How about you follow Nanyang and follow them to the Western Ocean?"

Seeing Zhou De stunned, Mu Yangling said, "The order of 2,000 you placed, and the order of 4,000 by Fan Guogong and I, are 6,000 pieces in total. You need to take them to the Western Ocean."

Seeing Zhou De hesitating, Mu Yangling smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't make you suffer, if these things can't be sold at the price, we will give you the four thousand things, and I will let you get the profit from this trip. One percent, how?"

Zhou De dared to take it, and said hurriedly: "After walking through the Nanyang, it is not far from the Western Ocean, not to mention the Western Ocean's gems and spices are very famous, even if the glaze and clocks can't sell for the price, it is not a loss for us to make a trip to buy the gems and spices. "

Mu Yangling didn't force him to accept it. If he loses at that time, she will give him some discounts on the workshop order.

Mu Yangling left Zhou De mainly to instruct him, first, try to sell their glazed products and clocks at a high price after going ashore, and do not lower the price unless it is absolutely necessary.

Second, find out the properties of various places, regardless of their value, and bring them back in records, including grain and various minerals.

Third, inquire about the weapons and equipment of various countries and their sales, and see if you can buy back cannons, even small firearms.

Fourth, inquire about the political situation and exchanges of various countries.

Zhou De's blood boiled when he heard it, and he was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat. He knew that if he agreed, he would be very dangerous in the future. If you do it well, then he and his family can take this opportunity to advance.

Seeking wealth and honor at risk, from the time he worked hard to get on Fan Zijin, his courage can be seen. Zhou De knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Don't worry, Princess, the Zhou family will die for Daqi."

Mu Yangling smiled and asked Xiao Ting to help him up, saying: "Don't worry, Master Zhou, I won't embarrass you, the departure time is a little tight in three days, you might as well delay the time a little bit, you can choose a few loyal and smart people. When people come over, I will ask them to teach them how to inquire about news. You can follow along when you arrive. Don’t worry, what I asked you to inquire about is not classified information, and it will be fine.”

Seeing that Zhou De was still trembling, Mu Yangling smiled and said, "I Daqi didn't do anything to these foreign spies?"

Zhou De was startled, "I still have foreign spies in Daqi?"

"Of course," Mu Yangling said: "If it wasn't for Andre and the others, how could the Western countries send envoys to our Daqi so quickly? Here are four countries."

In other words, they had at least four spies from Western countries in Daqi, Zhou De blushed and became angry.

Mu Yangling said: "Andre has done a very good job. He has been in Daqi for more than 20 years. He can not only communicate with merchants, but also buy high-level officials in Guangzhou. What he wants to inquire about is not only me. The general information you inquired about, how much I have leaked to him, even I don't know."
