10. Sell glass

Luo Wei shook his head and rejected Xiaoqing's proposal.

Bai Suzhen can indeed use a blind trick to turn stones into silver, which can be used to buy salt.

But in Luo Wei's view, this behavior is no different from fraud.

Moreover, a cover-up is always a cover-up. Once exposed, the consequences will be endless. After all, there are more than just two monks in this world, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing.

It is a world with immortals and Buddhas.

What's more, as a law-abiding person, Luo Wei would naturally not do such a thing.

"I have a way to make money."

"What can I do?" Xiaoqing asked curiously.

Luo Wei opened the dimensional door and returned to his home in the real world. He took two glasses and walked back, placing them in front of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

"What do you think of these two cups?"

Bai Suzhen said: "Avi, are you going to sell these two glass cups?"

Luo Wei shook his head and said: "It's not a glass cup, but a glass cup. In our world, this thing is very common, and it costs a few cents each."

"But in this world, these things are quite rare and can be sold for a good price."

When Xiao Qing heard this, he immediately said: "In that case, why don't we just open a glass shop to sell these cups instead of having to buy salt."

"Aren't these cups worth more than salt, and they don't need salt?"

Ah this...

Luo Wei suddenly realized that what Xiaoqing said seemed to make sense. There seemed to be no difference between selling glasses and selling salt.

In this case, why should I buy salt?

The novel misled me.

The main reason why Luo Wei wants to sell salt is because he has read many time-travel novels. The protagonist in the novel uses modern technology to make salt, and then makes a lot of money, gold and silver.

In addition, many novels have mentioned that there was quite a lack of salt in ancient times.

So buying salt is quite profitable.

In ancient times, basically every salt merchant was a wealthy man, so Luo Wei subconsciously decided to make money by selling salt. Only by selling salt could he make a lot of money.

However, after Xiaoqing's reminder, Luo Wei realized that buying glass and selling salt were actually the same.

They are all very profitable businesses.

Selling salt can reach the poor people, making small profits but quick turnover, and there is a continuous flow.

But when selling glass, you can sell it to those dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. These people are all big businessmen, and they have a lot of money. They can also make a lot of money.

After all, anyone who knows something about ancient knowledge knows that the Song Dynasty, despite repeated defeats on the battlefield, was bullied by the Liao and Jin countries in turn, and was even finally destroyed by the Mongols.

Thus he was awarded the title of Big Coward.

But the economy of the Song Dynasty was really developed, and there were countless rich people.

Especially the imperial court was rich.

Every year, they send so many coins to neighboring countries that they don’t even blink an eye.

So in this dynasty, when selling things like glass cups, you really don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them.

Thinking of this, Luo Wei slapped the table and said, "Okay, let's take a two-pronged approach. First open a glass shop, and after making some money, we can open a salt shop."

Xiao Qing asked: "Why do you still need to open a salt store? There is obviously a glass store."

Luo Wei opened the dimensional door and pointed at the white salt piled up in the living room, "I bought it all, but if I don't sell it, will it get moldy?"

Xiao Qing was speechless for a moment, then glared at Luo Wei angrily.

"Whoever made you think poorly deserves it."

Luo Wei smiled and refused to let Xiaoqing argue.

Bai Suzhen said: "What should I do with the money from opening a glass shop?"

Luo Wei was confident and pointed to the glasses on the table, "Find a pawn shop, pawn these two glasses first, and then use the money to open a glass shop. What do you think?"

Xiao Qing nodded.

Bai Suzhen smiled slightly and said, "It's feasible."

Without further ado, the three of them took action immediately. They first found a box and put two glasses in it, then left the White Mansion and came to a busy street.

When Luo Wei came to Hangzhou City yesterday, although he saw the prosperity of Hangzhou City, he was in a hurry to return to Baifu and did not observe Hangzhou City carefully.

Therefore, the city of Hangzhou he saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

But now, he has free time to take a good look at this bustling city.

On the streets, people come and go, and pedestrians in the market meet each other in an endless stream.

The ground beneath your feet is paved with blue stone slabs. It is wide and neat, and can accommodate a number of carriages traveling side by side.

There are rows of buildings on both sides, including teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses, etc.

The shop specializes in silk and satin, jewelry and spices, incense, paper horses, etc. In addition, there are medical clinics, cart repairs, fortune telling, face shaping and plastic surgery, and all kinds of services.

There are merchants doing business, gentry watching the street scene, officials riding horses, hawkers selling goods, and even beggars on the street.

Men, women, old and young, people from the city, agriculture, industry and commerce, three religions and nine streams, everything is there.

There is a saying that Luo Wei had only seen this kind of antique scenery in the famous painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

Unexpectedly, today I can witness the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty with my own eyes.

It really gives people an unparalleled impact.

At this moment, Luo Wei truly realized how prosperous the Song Dynasty was.

This is something that the movie cannot show at all.

After all, no crew should spend a lot of money to recreate the once prosperous city of Hangzhou.

After a while, under the leadership of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, Luo Wei came to a pawn shop.

The pawnshop owner was stunned when he saw Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

Luo Wei was not surprised by this.

Who makes Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing so beautiful? Even if they don't use any charm skills, these two accomplished snake spirits can make ordinary people swoon with just a smile.

Fortunately, the pawnshop owner was well-informed and quickly came to his senses and hurriedly came to greet him.

"You two ladies came to the pawn shop, but there is something you want to pawn."

Luo Wei took a step forward, stood in front of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, opened the box in his hand, and revealed the two glasses inside.

The shopkeeper took one look and his expression suddenly changed.

Liuli was a rare item in ancient times, and its price remained high.

Li Kang of the Tang Dynasty recorded this in Duyi Zhi:

During the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there was a merchant from Chang'an, Husband Wang and Ergou, who tried to sell silk to and from Zijun and made a small profit.

One day, the orphanage was robbed and all their belongings were lost. The two dogs sighed and said: God will not help me, so they hung themselves on the beam and tried to commit suicide.

I saw an old man in the dark, wearing brocade clothes, jade belt, court crown, red robe, white face and long beard, gentle and elegant, with "Ruyi" in his left hand and "Yuanbao" in his right hand. It was Li Xianggong who was granted the title of Silk Star King by Emperor Gaozu.

Xingjun said: "You are so rich and powerful, how can you commit suicide? Don't you hear that colored glaze comes out of Zizhou?" He also gave up a gold ingot and left.

The two dogs then sold colored glaze and became the richest man in An'an.

I was also grateful for the gift from Xingjun, so I changed my name to Yuanbao.
