The first batch of glass worth 1,000 equal coins of Liang Xin's Liang's Chamber of Commerce was successfully transported to the jurisdiction of General Lin. As Liang Xin's partner, Zhang Qing had already brought people and 10,000 taels of silver here.

The business worth 10,000 taels of silver was not a small amount of money for Zhang Qing, but it was not as good as he was doing it himself. However, if all the glass mirrors he bought with 10,000 taels of silver were sold, they could recover at least 50,000 taels of silver.

More importantly, the glass mirror business has just begun. Next, Zhang Qing will buy multiple batches of glass mirrors, which is a business of hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver.

In view of the importance of the glass mirror business, Zhang Qingcai personally came to Linwu County, a very dangerous place near the People's Army-ruled area.

Compared to Zhang Qing, who dared to take action in person, Liang Xin did not dare to personally escort the glass mirror to the jurisdiction of General Lin. It would be bad if he was arrested as a spy. Anyway, it was just a business worth 1,000 equal coins. Even if the previous expenses of opening up the trade routes, it would be compensated, and the Liang Chamber of Commerce would not be damaged.

The person responsible for escorting the glass mirror was Liang Xin's other confidant Liu Ping. Wang Youtian is currently waiting for Liu Ping to escort the glass mirror in the jurisdiction of General Lin.

Finally, the glass mirror of the Liang Chamber of Commerce was successfully transported to the jurisdiction of General Lin. Wang Youtian and Liu Ping sold the glass mirror to Zhang Qing's Zhang Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Liang Chamber of Commerce. The glass mirror that was originally worth 1,000 equal coins was broken on the road. The intact glass mirror was worth 820 equal coins. Zhang Qing also bought the broken glass mirror and paid a total of 8,500 taels of silver.

The Liang Chamber of Commerce received a total of 8,500 taels of silver, but only 4,750 taels of silver that could be transported back to the People's Army ruling area.

Liang Xin wanted to give 30% of the profit to the big man who protected the normal development of glass mirror business in the Ming Dynasty, totaling 2,250 taels of silver, and also to give General Lin, the most important point in the trade route, totaling 1,500 taels of silver.

Even if the remaining 4,750 taels of silver were transported back to the People's Army ruling area, Liang Xin's last remaining 3,250 taels of silver, and 1,500 taels of silver were commercial taxes that needed to be paid to the People's Military Government.

The commercial tax is undoubtedly very high, much higher than doing business in the People's Army ruling area. However, Liang Xin is still willing to do the glass mirror business, investing 1,000 equal coins, and deducting costs, commercial taxes, labor costs, etc. Liang Xin can also get 2,000 taels of silver, which is a business with a profit of up to 200%.

With such high profits and relatively average dangers, Liang Xin is very willing to continue doing it.

The second batch of glass mirrors has not yet been on the road, so we have to wait for Zhang Qing to sell the glass mirrors. If it performs well, Zhang Qing will purchase more glass mirrors from Liang Xin. At that time, Liang Xin will send someone to transport the glass mirrors over. Of course, you can also reserve a batch of glass mirrors in the border city in advance.

The Ming Dynasty ruling region is so big that it is easy to digest such a small amount of glass mirrors, but the first batch of glass mirrors purchased by Zhang Qing will only be sold in Huguang area, and Liang Xin will not sell the glass mirrors to merchants from Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangxi.

Liang Xin has not only successfully opened the commercial roads of the Ming Dynasty in the People's Army ruling region. Under the leadership of the People's Chamber of Commerce, these merchants have been divided into areas. At present, the sales area of ​​Liang Xin glass mirrors in Huguang area is the sales area of ​​Liang Xin glass mirrors, and Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangxi are other sales areas of merchants. Later generations can only sell glass mirrors further away.

The Ming-ruled region is so big that it is enough for merchants to divide it, and can contact the "protective umbrella" within the Ming-ruled region. There are relatively few such merchants.

Not only to divide the sales areas, the People's Chamber of Commerce also determines the sales price of glass mirrors. For example, if a glass mirror of 1,000 equal coins is sold to merchants under the rule of the People's Army, the price of these glass mirrors will increase by ten times to ten thousand taels of silver when they sell to their partners. When they are sold in the Ming Dynasty, the price of glass mirrors will increase by at least five times.

In other words, the people in the People's Army ruled by the People's Army bought a glass mirror worth one cent of equal coins in the size of a palm, and it took at least five taels of silver to buy it in the Ming Dynasty ruled by the Ming Dynasty.

However, even if the price increases fifty times, compared with the glass mirrors that only upper class people have come into contact with before, glass mirrors worth only five taels of silver can be afforded by wealthier middle-aged families.

Zhang Qing sold the glass mirror he bought with 8,500 taels of silver in Huguang area. The final income was expected to exceed 40,000 taels of silver, but Zhang Qing could not fully earn the income of the 40,000 taels of silver.

The glass mirror sold by Liang Xin to Zhang Qing, General Lin, and a big shot, all had to share the profits. After Zhang Qing sold the glass mirror, he also had to share the profits for General Lin and the big shots.

Not only General Lin and the big man, they need to pay tolls to transport glass mirrors in the Ming Dynasty ruled region. This is another commercial tax. Selling glass mirrors in various places in Huguang, Zhang Qing also needs to share a certain profit for the local forces' cooperation.

Even so, Zhang Qing estimated that the final profit of the glass mirror business would be more than 150%. With such a high profit, Zhang Qing could not calm down and personally came to Linwu County, a dangerous place, to receive the first batch of glass mirrors.

If there is a second glass mirror business, the second batch of glass mirrors will be more valuable, and Zhang Qing has to go to Linwu County in person to receive the glass.

As the autumn harvest in the fifteenth year of Wanli was getting closer, the glass mirror in Zhang Qing's hand finally started to be sold in Wuchang City, Hanyang City, Huangzhou City and other cities at the same level as the city and above.

Wuchang City is the center of Huguang and the city with the most rich people.

Glass mirror is the name in Guangdong area. It is still a glass mirror when it is external to ensure the value of the glass mirror.

People who came into contact with glass mirrors in Wuchang City are more than in Guangzhou City before, but almost all wealthy families know that such treasures as glass mirrors are known. A few people also have a two-sided glass mirror. This palm-sized glass mirror is worth as much as hundreds of taels of silver.

Now, the Zhang Chamber of Commerce sells glass mirrors in Wuchang City. Not only does it have a palm-sized glass mirror, but it also has a half-body glass mirror. The palm-sized glass mirror is less than ten taels of silver on one side. Even the largest glass mirror is only a few thousand taels of silver.

It was the glass mirror that was not bad. Seeing that the price was so low, it sold out in less than two days, and Zhang Qing made a big profit.

Originally, Zhang Qing could have sold the price of glass mirrors higher, but Zhang Qing did not do so. Zhang Qing felt that the glass mirror business would be a business that would last at least a year. It won’t take long to sell another batch of glass mirrors in Wuchang City. At this time, everyone understood that there were many glass mirrors and would not buy them at high prices.

Zhang Qing lowered the price of glass mirrors, but instead offended the people who bought glass mirrors at high prices before. Among them, many of them were powerful people who could not afford to offend. It would be better to set a lower price directly to make less money, but not offend others.
