"Come on, drink." Lin Xuan raised his glass and said.
Cheng Chumo put down his wine glass and said, "Zichu, your hot pot is not bad, do you have any more? Give me some."
"Me too." The others said in unison.
"This is made of high-quality brass. There are only these two. If you want it, I will give you the blueprint and you can find someone to make it yourself." Lin Xuan said.
The coins used in ancient times used copper as the main material, which shows how precious copper is.
Although before the Ming Dynasty, brass was not used to make copper coins, but it does not mean that brass is not precious.
Most of the copper coins are cast in the form of copper alloy. Due to the different composition of the alloy, the copper coins also show different colors.
The reason why brass was not used before the Ming Dynasty was because brass was rare and more precious.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there were more brass, and it was only then that coins began to be made of brass.
By the time of the Qing Dynasty, the use of brass had become mainstream.
Brass was still very precious in the Tang Dynasty.
It's not that Lin Xuan is reluctant to part with this little money, the problem is that it's too rare and hard to get.
If Cheng Chumo's family gave a few mouthfuls, he wouldn't be able to get so much brass at all.
As for why iron is not used, it is really the craftsmanship of this time, and the pot made of iron is too thick.
Usually cooking is fine, but for hot pot, it is not as good as a pot made of brass.
"Okay, but you have to give me some of that pepper." Cheng Chumo said.
The others also had the same expressions as Cheng Chumo.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Didn't you guys dislike chili before?"
Thinking of how disgusted they were when they ate chili last time, Lin Xuan naturally wanted to laugh at them.
But Lin Xuan underestimated Cheng Chumo's face, they didn't look embarrassed at all.
"It was before, but now I think chili tastes good." Cheng Chumo said.
Li Deju agreed: "Although chili is very spicy, I still like spicy food when I eat hot pot."
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll have someone prepare some for you later, but I don't have much right now, so you should save some."
In fact, there are quite a lot of chili peppers. If only a few of them eat it, it will be enough.
Lin Xuan was afraid that they would give it away.
"Isn't there a greenhouse for vegetables? Just grow them." Cheng Chu said nonchalantly.
The term vegetable greenhouse was told by Lin Xuan to them, and several of them have also built it, like some early-maturing vegetables, which have begun to mature now.
Although Chang'an has no vegetables at all because of the snow in the past two days, there is no shortage of them at all.
"With so many people in the family, how many vegetables can the greenhouse grow?" Lin Xuan said angrily.
His greenhouse is the largest, but there are so many people in his family, including the soldiers, there are almost [-] people in his family.
Although it is certainly impossible for those servants and personal soldiers to open their supply, the consumption is not small.
Li Dezhen said in surprise: "Zichu, you don't want to feed vegetables to the servants, do you?"
Several other people also looked at Lin Xuan in surprise. Although several of them have vegetable greenhouses, they would not let the servants eat at all.
Firstly, the family has a large population, and secondly, some are given to relatives and friends.
In addition, the servants are all bought, and they don't even need to pay wages. Their family will give the servants some money every month.
In this way, the servant is already grateful to Dade.
The ancient hierarchy was strict.Treating inferior people, such as servants, is to shout and shout, and to beat and scold if something goes wrong, but Lin Xuan really can't do it.
However, Lin Xuan didn't want to change Cheng Chumo's ideas. This system has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so it's not so easy to change it.
The Central Plains Dynasty had long been freed from slavery, but didn’t there still exist people who sold themselves into slavery?
Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman.
Those time travelers traveled to ancient times, and all kinds of reforms and reforms are just fiction.
With so many reforms in history, how many of them ended well?
Although the ancients told the emperor to break the law and commit the same crime as the common people, if Lin Xuan dared to say that everyone is equal, Li Shimin would not let him go.
Don't look at those historical TV dramas, people often call the prince to break the law and commit the same crime as the common people, but in ancient times, no one dared to shout.
Imperial power is above everyone else, if anyone dares to say that, it's no wonder the emperor didn't kill him.
"The servants behaved well, what's the matter with giving them something to eat? Anyway, I have a small family and I can't finish it." Lin Xuan said indifferently.
Cheng Chumo and the others looked at Lin Xuan speechlessly. Although they all had vegetable greenhouses, they also had many relatives and friends, and they all felt that there was not enough to eat.
Lin Xuan didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he ate a mouthful of mutton and said with a relaxed face: "Brothers, I have a new business, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Of course I'm interested." Cheng Chu said directly without asking.
The others also stopped and looked at Lin Xuan.
The few of them have tasted the sweetness in the Immortal Drunk and Furniture Workshop.
In their eyes, as long as Lin Xuan's business, no matter what it is, will definitely make money.
Lin Xuan took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and said, "Yanzi."
"Yanzi?" Cheng Chumo and the others looked at each other.
"Zi Chu, we've all used the soap, and we know how to make a lot of it, but we haven't seen how to make money." Yuchi Baolin said.
"The soap I'm talking about is different from the one you use, and the effect is better. If you say I sell it for two cents a piece, will many people buy it?" Lin Xuan said.
"Two pennies?"
Several people looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, wanting to see if Lin Xuan was out of his mind.
The soap they use costs hundreds of yuan.
If you sell two coins for one piece, many people will buy it for sure, but how do you make money?
"Zi Chu, are you drunk?" Qin Huaidao tentatively asked.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "I know that the soap used to be very expensive, but since I sell it so cheap, it means that the cost is very low, and there must be some profit."
"But why did you do this?" Li Deju asked.
Lin Xuan said before that the soap he was going to make would be more effective than the current soap.
That being the case, not to mention that it is more expensive than the previous ones, should it be the same?
"There are almost 200 million households in the Tang Dynasty, and they can basically afford two pennies and one piece of pancreas. Even if each family uses one piece a month, that is two million yuan. The year is 200 guan, do you think it is less?" Lin Xuan said.
Cheng Chumo and the others were a little surprised when they heard that the cost of a piece of soap was only one penny, and then they were even more puzzled.
Although they don't know how much the soap they used before cost, it must be more than a penny, maybe dozens of pennies.
Even so, they told Lin Xuan that the soap he made was better than the one they used before.
Although they don't know how many people in Datang can afford to use pancreas now, but the cost of a penny sells for a hundred pennies, and the effect is better than before, there must be many people buying it.
Although those ordinary people can't afford it, they must earn more.
Making 200 million yuan a month is as much as making 200 yuan, so why make [-] million yuan?
They will still settle this account.
"I said before that it is sold to ordinary people. There is also an enhanced version. I am going to sell it for two hundred yuan a piece. This is for the princes and rich people." Lin Xuan said.
More than 2 yuan a year, and there are not many divisions. Cheng Chumo and the others look down on it, and Lin Xuan even less.
