"Your Highness, I really can't give you these broken glass, but don't worry, Your Highness, I will try my best to fix the glass before leaving and give Your Highness a more exquisite gift!"
Jin Feng heard from Qing Mulan that the Ninth Princess had been preparing for this marriage for a long time.
When she wanted to build a team in Tubo, she had to win people's hearts with gifts.
To forcefully buy a black knife in the capital is to prepare for the marriage.
It can be considered well-intentioned.
Tubo and Xichuan border, and they have always been eyeing it. If Tubo can be stopped, Jin Feng is also willing to help.
But the Ninth Princess did not answer directly, but said: "Sir, Wuyang doesn't think it is necessary to make the glass too exquisite. Even if it can be made, it is best to keep it in hand."
"Why?" Jin Feng asked.
"Sir, he makes water jade, just like soap and black knives, to make money from rich people, right?" Ninth Princess asked.
"right!"
Jin Feng did not deny it.
"In that case, why don't you make more money?"
Princess Ninth said: "First sell this kind of defective product with average quality to the outside world, and then slowly improve the quality, then you can make another fortune, and finally sell exquisite glass products, and you can make another fortune. This is not the case.
Is it better?"
Hearing this, Jin Feng nodded slightly.
She is worthy of being a princess who can match wits and courage with the old fox in the court, and her methods are very powerful.
In fact, the Ninth Princess has been thinking about it ever since she discussed the issue of landlords and gentry with Jin Feng.
The reason why Dakang has declined to the extent it has today is that, in addition to the fights between important officials in the court, the most fundamental reason is the landlords and gentry mentioned by Jin Feng.
The important ministers harmed the top of Dakang, while the landlords and gentry corrupted the foundation of Dakang.
Even the important officials in the court fought to protect the interests of their respective families. The fundamental reason was still the landlords and gentry.
Therefore, the Ninth Princess also began to hate the landlords and gentry.
But the landlords and gentry all have backers, so even if she is a princess, she cannot take action directly.
However, Jin Feng can achieve the goal of weakening the landlords and gentry through the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, and no one can say anything.
Sometimes, trade is also a means of plunder.
In the past history, Europe initially relied on large-scale voyages and colonial methods to plunder the world's wealth. Later, as the resistance of each colony became more and more fierce, colonial methods became unworkable, and they switched to trade plunder.
They used the wealth accumulated during the colonial era to firmly control the financial and trade markets, and then formulated various rules that were beneficial to them, and their methods of plunder became more secretive.
Why did those important officials in the court seek refuge with the Khitan Party?
It's because their family has business dealings with the party.
In fact, these ministers could almost earn back the money that Dakang paid to the party for compensation through trade, and maybe even more, but the money fell into the hands of various families.
It's a pity that they only have trade means and not enough force. When one day the alien army comes to the border, no matter how much money they have, it will be in vain. They will just be a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
"Your Highness is right!"
One of Jin Feng's greatest strengths is that he is self-aware and able to listen to other people's suggestions.
When he made glass, his main goal was to make telescopes and microscopes, and the second was to make money.
Since you can earn more, why not earn more?
"Sir, can you give me some of these defective products? I can buy them!"
Princess Ninth said: "To be honest, I have prepared a lot of gold and silver for my trip to Tubo this time. If sir is willing, I can exchange gold and silver for jade!"
"Your Highness, I think you can see that I can mass-produce jade. When there are more and more jade on the market, its value will shrink step by step, and eventually it will become very cheap."
Jin Feng reminded.
"Of course I know this, but I believe that sir will not let Shuiyu out at once. This is enough."
The Ninth Princess said: "Let the money be left to Mr. to build the ship. I hope that one day Mr. can go to America and bring back the magical thing that the old gentleman said can produce a thousand catties per acre!"
Jin Feng fell silent.
He understood what the ninth princess meant.
The Ninth Princess made it clear that she wanted to use glass to deceive the Tibetan people.
If the value of glass plummets and she still fails to gain a foothold in Tubo, it means that the marriage plan has failed. Even if the Tubo people find out that the glass is worthless, it doesn't matter.
Jin Feng saw the desperate belief in the Ninth Princess.
He nodded and said: "Okay! Lao Tian, put the rest into the box and give it to His Highness to take away!"
"You don't need so much, it's not worth anything anymore!" Princess Ninth said, "It's enough to pretend to be successful."
"Clever!" Jin Feng secretly praised: "Old Tian, listen to His Highness."
"Okay!"
Lao Tian agreed, found a small box, and selected some of the defective products on the stone platform.
"Thank you sir!" Ninth Princess folded her hands and saluted Jin Feng.
"Your Highness, you're welcome!" Jin Feng returned the gesture.
The Ninth Princess accepted the box and saw that Jin Feng was involved in the experiment again, so she did not interrupt and went back with Qing Mulan.
That night, Jin Feng did not go back. He casually had a bite with Lao Tian and others in the workshop, and then began to experiment with different recipes.
The next morning, at the entrance of Xihewan Village.
The old county guard and Captain Xiao stood side by side on the edge of the threshing floor.
Behind them were the Jinchuan County Magistrate and two hundred soldiers.
They have been crazy busy recently, investigating clues about the water bandits and bandits who attacked the Ninth Princess. They only hope that when the court investigates afterwards, the punishment will be lighter.
Knowing that the Ninth Princess was leaving today, the county guard was afraid of encountering bandits again, so he asked Captain Xiao to select 200 people from the government soldiers to escort her.
Qing Mulan also arranged for two squads of bodyguards to accompany him.
Because of the Ninth Princess, a female soldier class was specially arranged.
The county guard and others arrived before dawn and waited at the entrance of the village until now, and then the Ninth Princess's motorcade slowly came out of the village.
But what confused the county guard and Captain Xiao was that they did not see Jin Feng, only Qing Mulan and Tang Xiaobei.
Xihewan is Jin Feng's territory. If the Ninth Princess wants to leave, won't Jin Feng take him to see her off?
"Your Highness, my husband forgets time once he gets into the laboratory. Please atone for your sins!"
Tang Xiaobei explained for Jin Feng with a helpless expression.
She had already sent people to the laboratory to notify Jin Feng twice in the morning, but Jin Feng always replied that she would come right away. But now the ninth princess is leaving, and Jin Feng is still nowhere to be found.
"It's okay. It's because of this concentration that you are what you are today."
The Ninth Princess also felt a little regretful, but she smiled and shook her head: "I came here this time to bother you. You don't need to send me any more. Please come back!"
"Congratulations to Your Highness. I wish Your Highness a safe journey and all the best!"
Tang Xiaobei took Guan Xiaorou and others to salute the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Princess nodded and took Qing Mulan onto the carriage.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word to the county guard and others.
