Youlai Gengxinle: “Can anyone explain how much 150,000 strings of 1,000 cash is? I can’t count it with my 10 fingers . ”
Suoyi Jintianne: “Hahaha . You can’t even count it with the hands and feet of your whole family, let alone your 10 fingers . ”
Zhendeshi Liugengo: “Let’s just say that the exchange ratio between copper coins, silver, and gold is different depending on the dynasty . It’s just like the fluctuations in foreign exchange . You wouldn’t understand it even if I explained it in detail . To put it simply, a string of 1,000 cash is equal to about 1,000 pennies . A penny is equal to one yuen . So, guess how much 150,000 strings of 1,000 cash is in renminbi?”
Was an exorbitant profit like that not insane? Traveling to the ancient times with a glass vase would make one a billionaire in an instant . Jiang Pengji wanted to sell a set of glass products for 150 million .
The streamer was not evil-minded; she was evil from head to toe!
Seeing their comments, Jiang Pengji helplessly stated her opinion .
Host V: “I’m not that wicked . It’s, at most, seven to eight million if it’s converted to the currency here . ”
Everyone was speechless .
Dashen Mazi: “Pricing something that’s worth seven to eight yuen at seven to eight million isn’t considered wicked?”

Jianfei Shibaile: “The streamer is awesome . ”
Liu She calmed himself down, lest he was scared to death by his daughter . He looked at the glass tea set with a deep look in his eyes . He spoke after a while, “If this is the only set in the world, it would not be hard to sell it for 150,000 strings of 1000 cash . ”
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and replied, “It’s impossible for this to be the only set . ”
“Therefore, the price is too high . Only ‘small profits by quick turnover’ can ‘benefit’ more aristocrats in the Northern Borderline . We need to figure out a price they can accept without feeling like it’s cheap . ” Liu She pondered and fixed his gaze on the glass tea set . “You should price it around 20,000 to 30,000 strings of 1,000 cash, and make more styles available . You can adjust the price according to the differences in purity . If you want it to sell well, you have to plan carefully and publicize their origin . ”
The audience felt as though Liu She had a good conscience . The audience was appalled that Jiang Pengji wanted to set the price of the glass tea set at 150,000 strings of 1,000 cash .
Xianggu Zuimengla: “Have my values been led astray? Why do I think that glassware that costs 20,000 to 30,000 strings of 1,000 cash is cheap?”
Tumi Dalao: “You’re not alone . ”
Buyao Hushuobadao: “You guys aren’t alone . ”
Jiang Pengji frowned upon seeing the ridicules .

“Isn’t the price too low?”
Liu She replied, “It’s a pretty good price . If you want to exchange for gallant horses, you need to lower the price . ”
The Northern Borderline was vast and produced many high-quality horses . They also kept a close watch over the ranch .
However, there were always people who took risks for the sake of interest . They smuggled Dabai, the horse Liu She gave Jiang Pengji, out of the Northern Borderline . It was originally intended for the king of the Northern Borderline, but the officials smuggled Dabai and sold it off before giving it to the king . The horse dedicated to the king, in the end, was slightly inferior to Dabai .
It was impossible for Liu She to not know about the means within .
“Lanting, Amin often said that running a business is just like being in a war and governing a country . There are a lot of tricks you can pick up . Once you’ve mastered the rules, you can play with the market . ” Liu She smiled . His wife was good at business . She was basically the one who built the property of the Liu family’s mistress . He gained some superficial knowledge after years of living together . “Let me handle this . You just have to wait and collect the money . ”
Of course, Jiang Pengji believed in Liu She . “Then, I’ll control the number of products baked and strive for perfection . ”
Liu She nodded and added, “When a thing is scarce, it’s precious . No matter how good a thing is, it won’t be valuable once there is too much of it . I’ll stay here for a few more days and bring a few sets of pottery back . After that, don’t bake it in the kiln for the time being . Keep a close watch over the workers . If someone secretly bakes it or leaks the craftsmanship, kill him immediately . Don’t be kindhearted and irresolute . ”
“I know . The person who bakes the glass is under my control . If the secret gets out, I’ll know who did it . ”
Jiang Pengji had a gentle smile on her face . The craftsman beside her could not help but feel as though he was on pins and needles .
The old man had experienced many different ways of seeking profit, such as setting up the kiln and smuggling goods for his craft when he was younger . After all, it was a trade with no cost . Such a thing was normal . There was no need to worry about a lack of interest; it only required courage .
He felt his heart shake upon listening to their conversation . Tens of thousands of strings of 1,000 cash would attract anyone .
However, he could not help but draw back after hearing what they said afterward . The money would do him no good if he were dead .
“Do your job well . Your contributions won’t be forgotten once we’ve made loads of money . ” Jiang Pengji patted the craftsman’s shoulder . “If you do your job well, your grandsons can then have their craftsman status stripped off . When there’s a school in the district in the future, they can study for free . ”
The current household registration system was a nuisance . The children of a craftsman could only be registered as craftsmen . Without a miracle, it was impossible for a craftsman to strip off his status .
However, the Lord promised to give his children the opportunity to study . In ancient times, learning was difficult, no matter how rich a family was .
Acquiring books was a huge problem . How could one study without textbooks?
The craftsman did not doubt Jiang Pengji since she was born an aristocrat .
The eyes of the craftsman lit up, and he replied confidently, “Don’t worry, Lord . I won’t disappoint you . ”
For the bright future of his children and grandchildren, and for the sake of being in a superior social class, the craftsman wanted to supervise each component with his eyes wide open . He would watch his workers destroy all the rejected glass with his own eyes .
“That’s good, then . ”
Jiang Pengji asked the craftsman to take out all three glass tea sets . She wished to gift the best set among the three to Liu She . She would keep one for herself, and the other set would be placed in the office of the district headquarters .
Qiguan Rang came to work with sleepy eyes the next day . He opened the door, and a strong, golden ray penetrated into the hall . The reflection of light made him feel giddy .
Tsk . What on earth is that? He squinted and discovered a set of exquisite, glazed items sitting on the table .
His sleepiness vanished in an instant . Qiguan Rang was so shocked that he hurriedly took a few steps back and looked around . He muttered, “Am I still sleeping?”
He did not believe in spirits . Qiguan Rang slowly got closer to the table, but the beautiful objects did not disappear .
He carefully reached out and touched them . He felt a chill on his fingertips . “This isn’t a dream…” His breathing grew heavier as he stared at the glassware .
“What’s wrong, Wen Zheng?” After five minutes, Feng Jin came in, carrying a large pile of dusty bamboo slips . Feng Jin sympathized with Qiguan Rang for working overtime .
