Chapter 237: Sales Plan

Lulansi looked at the white porcelain bowl in his hands in disbelief; it seemed even more elegant than crystal cups and the silver tableware in the castle.

Pottery?

Lulansi had never seen pottery like this before; the pottery he was familiar with was mostly earth-toned, such as brown, brownish-yellow, and so on, and he had never seen white pottery.

Moreover, this thing seemed harder than pottery.

"I call it 'porcelain'."

Luoning answered Lulansi's question, "There is a special kind of soil in Wubei Territory; I call it Kaolin. Using this soil to fire it at high temperatures results in this kind of porcelain."

"Different from ordinary pottery, its appearance is more exquisite, and the porcelain body is solid and dense. I believe that once the firing technology in Wubei Territory improves by a few more notches, the more exquisite porcelain fired will surely be loved by the nobles."

Throughout the ages, high-grade porcelain was generally only qualified to be used by high-ranking officials and nobles.

Therefore, the sales channel for Wubei Territory's porcelain must also be aimed at nobles; only they can afford the high costs.

As for the vast majority of Free Citizens, Luoning would not strike them all down with one blow and refuse to sell to them.

When the time comes, he would just divide the ones with average quality into a few grades and sell them at different prices.

At the same time, he would just give the porcelain for the nobles a special name to distinguish it from ordinary porcelain.

"This is a good business!"

Lulansi tapped the edge of the porcelain bowl lightly with his finger, emitting a crisp and pleasant ringing sound, even better than crystal cups and silver tableware.

"What price are you planning to sell it for? One silver coin? Or more?"

One silver coin?

Luoning felt it was a bit low; after all, the mineral deposit of Kaolin is special, and even if other places had it, they could not make porcelain without the firing technology.

It meant this industry was temporarily monopolized by Luoning, so the price could be a bit higher.

Although it was not yet at the point of one gold coin for a small bowl, it could be raised a little.

The key was the lack of fame.

Luoning had two preparations: the first was to let Luogena take Pier-sen to present a gift to the nobles and Knights after more and better porcelain came off the production line;

The second was that after Wushan Castle was fully equipped with porcelain tableware, Luoning would invite some nobles to a gathering within the territory, which could also be used as an opportunity to promote it.

Besides this, there was another path, which was to elevate Luoning's own status.

If he were the king of this world, then his every move would be followed.

If the king drank a certain type of wine, that wine would be in short supply, and the price would rise with the tide;

If the king liked porcelain, the price of porcelain would follow the same logic.

"There is no set price for now, as this thing cannot be mass-produced yet, and there is still room for improvement in the quality."

Luoning said with a smile: "When better ones are produced, I will send you another set then."

"Haha, then I look forward to it!"

Lulansi laughed: "Wubei Territory is truly a land of good fortune; it has that novel Silk, and now there is an extra porcelain. I really don't know what kind of fresh things you can come up with for me next time we meet?"

Luoning agreed with this very much.

Wubei Territory was indeed a land of good fortune; he even had a dragon in his hands!

"Things are all laid out there; perhaps every place has its specialties and characteristics, it just lacks a pair of eyes to discover them."

Luoning blinked, "My eye for things is quite good."

"Hahaha..."

Lulansi laughed heartily.

On the steps outside the room, Moste heard this laughter and could not help but feel relieved in his heart.

In fact, Lulansi's personality was very eccentric; after all, after decades of torture, it was already very good that he had not had a mental breakdown and had kept his mind clear.

On weekdays, the Marquis was relatively serious and even less prone to smiling.

Even Moste, who had been by Lulansi's side since he was young, had been scolded for a period of time, and serving him was always done with extreme caution.

And as he grew older, Lulansi became more and more reclusive, sometimes even as cold as a block of ice, making people afraid to get close.

Like today, laughing heartily like this had really almost never happened.

"Ever since Young Master Luoning changed, the master's state of mind seems to have become better too."

As Moste thought about it, he sighed again, "I don't know how much longer the master can live!"

Inside the study, Luoning had come this time because there were many things he wanted to ask Lulansi for advice on.

"Grandfather, during the last banquet at Wushan Castle, the Auduin Royal Family and Count Hesusu both had Griffins as flying mounts. If one day we face enemies launching attacks from the air like this, how should we defend?"

Lulansi looked at Luoning with a smile: "Your mindset is not good; how can you think about becoming enemies with the Royal Family?"

"Uh, I was just considering this situation under the circumstances of territorial defense, not wanting to be enemies with the Royal Family."

Lulansi nodded and said: "Just say such things in front of me; try to say less of it in front of other nobles, lest others pin a label on you, just like Jialier; it's troublesome even to try to get rid of it."

"Jialier did indeed suffer an unprovoked disaster."

"That was because he really found it troublesome; if he had argued for another two months, there probably wouldn't have been any issues."

This kind of thing is just buck-passing.

Although he said it that way, for Jialier, rather than being under house arrest for two months, it was better to be a patrol captain.

At least during this time, he could walk around and see things, and breathe some fresh air.

"The Griffins you mentioned are not invincible."

Returning to the main topic, Lulansi began to explain the methods for dealing with Griffins.

"Even if Griffin Knights have an aerial advantage, they still have to lower their distance to eliminate powerful individual targets so that their means of attack are more powerful. But once the altitude is lowered, there is a possibility of being attacked."

For a Silver Knight, jumping a height of ten-plus meters is completely not a problem.

If one uses the Rock Snake Battle Technique like Maiken, one can go even higher.

Lulansi stood up slowly and picked up the cane to the side: "Let's go, I will take you to see Wushan Fortress."

As he spoke, he walked slowly toward the outside.

Compared to before, his back was a bit more hunched now; the backlash from last time had not reached a balance, and his condition would continue to slowly deteriorate.

"What, do you look at me as if you are seeing an old man who cannot walk?"

Luoning laughed: "No, I was just thinking about the Soul Devouring Surge."

He thought of Natalia and the others in Guiyi Shangu.

"Grandfather, have you ever encountered a type of person like this?"

Luoning weighed his words: "Even if you stab through their body with a sharp sword, not only will they not die, but they won't even shed a single drop of blood! And if you attack their body with a large amount of Battle Qi or Magic, they will turn into a pile of powder before your eyes and drift away with the wind."

Lulansi gave his grandson a strange look: "Which Knight novel have you been reading?"

Luoning gave an awkward smile; this matter did indeed sound like a plot point from a novel.

However, it was also clear that Lulansi did not know of the existence of such things.

Luoning looked at Lulansi, who had aged significantly, and decided not to continue talking about this matter, so as to avoid the other party laboring and worrying to find an answer for him.

"After you replied to the letter last time, I already sent a reply to His Majesty Bruno."

Lulansi said as he walked: "Since you have agreed, then this marriage alliance will proceed; I believe there will be a response from their side before long." (End of chapter)
