Chapter 63 The title is "Wisdom and Courage"
The carpenter slapped his forehead and exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "Oh! That's right! We can just assemble it directly! You've thought of everything so thoroughly, sir!"
"Hmm... Here's the plan: first, make fifty carts using ordinary wood, then thirty using slightly better wood, and finally twenty using the finest wood. Is that clear? Make sure to carefully inspect the quality of each cart. If any are substandard, demand a return and remake. As for the specific shops, you can find them yourself. Tell them to deliver them here after completion, and then collect payment from the steward." Jin Shuai instructed methodically.
"Alright, sir, don't worry, I'll arrange for people to handle this matter right away." The carpenter nodded with a smile, then turned and hurriedly left.
"Hurry up and get the carriages ready. When the brokers arrive, our carriages will be able to shine and make a name for themselves, hahaha. By the way, steward, what do you think about pricing our ordinary carriages at 150 strings of cash?" Jin Shuai and the steward walked side by side, discussing enthusiastically as they went.
"Isn't this price a bit too high? Normally, an ordinary carriage would only cost around fifty strings of cash," the steward replied with a slight frown and some concern.
"You said yourself that those were just ordinary carriages, but ours are different! We have four wheels! Moreover, if we can decorate the interior of the carriage more luxuriously, it will definitely attract the attention of wealthy merchants. Selling the slightly less luxurious ones to officials is also a good choice. As for the most top-of-the-line, most exquisite and luxurious ones, we can offer them to the officials of the court in exchange for precious land resources." Jin Shuai explained with a smile.
“This plan is brilliant! According to my calculations, it would cost fifty-two strings of cash to build such a carriage, but that doesn’t include the horses,” the steward chimed in.
"Hmm... this price is reasonable, acceptable. However, when you announce it publicly, just say the cost is 120 guan, which doesn't include the horses either. Hahaha!" Jin Shuai couldn't help but burst into laughter.
As they spoke, the two arrived at Liu's courtyard. Dong Qiu and a group of palace maids were exchanging experiences with Liu and her family. Upon seeing Jin Shuai arrive, they hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects. Jin Shuai smiled and said, "Miss Dong, let's not be so polite from now on. Just call me handsome. When the broker arrives, we'll go and take a look at the shop together, so you can report back to Her Majesty the Empress."
"Alright, handsome, the Sage sent people to expedite the production of some after I returned yesterday," Dong Qiuhe said.
"No rush. Once we find a good shop, we need to renovate it to give female customers a better shopping experience," Jin Shuai said with a smile.
Just then, someone came to report that the imperial eunuch had arrived at the gate and requested that the lord open the main gate to welcome the imperial decree. Upon hearing this, the steward hurriedly set off to greet him. Jin Shuai said, "Very well! Let's go together. After receiving the decree, we will immediately set off to inspect the shop."
The group proceeded to the main courtyard, where the eunuch announced, "His Majesty has granted Viscount Jin the special permission not to kneel to receive the decree." He then began to read the imperial edict aloud. Upon completion, Viscount Jin was granted the title of Third-Class Viscount, with the honorific "Wisdom and Courage." Viscount Jin respectfully accepted the edict with both hands, after which the steward presented a silver note to the eunuch. The eunuch initially declined slightly, but ultimately accepted it, saying, "In that case, I thank the Viscount for this reward."
