System, help me be an empress

Chapter 102

The entrance of the shop covered with red silk plaque was completely blocked, and Pei Yao was wearing a snow-white men's suit, standing at the entrance of the shop heroically looking around.

It wasn't until he saw Xu Youxi standing on the other side of the crowd that he couldn't help smiling, and then whispered to the people next to him that today's opening ceremony can begin.

Immediately afterwards, several businessmen with red square scarves on their chests received the instructions, and each of them stood up straight with a smile on their face, shook hands, and hugged each other. Finally, several people held a length of rope in their hands at the same time .

With the rope pulled down, the red cloth on the shop's plaque was pulled down, revealing five golden characters——

Dagan odd goods shop.

The sound of firecrackers was accompanied by the applause and cheers of the common people, which was no different from the excitement during the Chinese New Year.

The red square scarf merchant was full of smiles, and started to work hard: "I would like to introduce to the folks that our shop will start selling three rare items from today! These are glass mirrors, and the price of each side is only 66 renminbi. See Look, how clear this photo is, for the price of a mirror, the whole family can use it. As long as it is well protected, it will not break after decades of use!"

"Everyone should know that a few years ago, an overseas envoy brought a palm-sized mirror to me. As a result, Emperor Chongjiu was willing to spend tens of thousands of taels of gold to buy it, and the envoy was also reluctant to sell it! Now our Shengong Bureau itself The glass mirror was invented, and even the mirror surface is brighter and clearer than those brought by overseas messengers, and the price is still affordable for ordinary people!"

"The second item is a very beautiful flower tube. When you hold it and turn it around, the flowers will bloom all over your eyes. It is so beautiful! Whether you give it to the girl you like or give it to the girl doll at home, they will definitely love it. I can’t put it down. The price is only 50 Wen.”

"Tell everyone, this kaleidoscope is only available to us in the whole world! If you take this overseas, maybe their emperor will ask you if you can sell it at a sky-high price!"

"The third thing is a must-have item for every household. Have you ever had to light the fire for a long time before cooking, but with our matches, this trouble can be completely avoided!"

The red square scarf merchant took out a box that was half the size of a palm while talking: "Everyone, look carefully, just slide it lightly."

The slender wooden stick was in the merchant's hand, as if it had been cast by some wonderful magic, and a small flame jumped instantly.

The red scarf merchant blew out the flames in one breath, took out another one, and ignited it easily: "Everyone thinks Jane is not simple! This is called a match, and it will become a new tool to change everyone's way of life! Because considering the demand for matches by ordinary people Big, we have 50 matches in a box, which can be ignited 50 times, and the cost price of each box is only 15 Wen!"

"Folks, listen to me, the reason why everyone came here is because they saw the "Ganbao" released today, and the folks should have heard that all the things sold in our Qihuo shop are inventions and creations of Shengong Bureau. !"

"The price is here, very sincere. To be honest, we sell these few things for 66 taels of silver and some people buy them, but even if we sell them for 66 taels of silver, there are still a bunch of rich people who want to follow suit. The reason why they are so cheap is that Because His Majesty personally ordered the price control, I hope that these miraculous inventions can benefit every ordinary person, and everyone can benefit from the development of Shengong Bureau."

"Most of the profits you get from the goods you spend on the Qihuo Shop will be re-used in the further development of Shengong Bureau. Every time you buy a product, you are supporting our big Shengong Bureau. Supporting the development of our Daqian dynasty!"

The people who lined up couldn't wait to shout: "If we don't support the Shengong Bureau, can we come to line up early in the morning! Shopkeeper, hurry up and open the door for business."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." The red square scarf merchant said with a smile, "There is still one thing I haven't explained clearly, and I have some good news to tell you. Things are exported to neighboring countries and overseas at the same time, and the prices in other places start at a hundred times the price in Dagan!"

"You can earn money if you buy it today. The factory behind our odd goods store is still working hard to produce it. Even if you can't buy it today, you will have opportunities every day."

"I announce that the Dagan Qihuo Store will open from now on!"

"Everyone can buy it, and one person is limited to three pieces."

……

Daqian Odd Goods Store is open!

Xu Youxi looked at the men's clothing on Pei Yao's body, and she was a little lost in thought. The reason why Pei Yao would wear it like this is probably because the design of men's clothing is more suitable for daily activities than women's clothing.

She suddenly reflected on whether the previous reforms were too heavy industry-oriented. In fact, there are still many things she can do, such as clothing reforms; status, but even if the "Great Law" is revised, it will not be difficult to change the deep-rooted values ​​​​of the people immediately.

Take it easy.

Xu Youxi saw that Pei Yao had also gone into the strange goods shop to help, so she told Xu Ling who was beside her, "Go in and tell Pei Yao, I will leave first if I have something to do."

"Subordinates obey."

Xu Ling received the order and squeezed through the crowd with great difficulty.

Xu Youxi was going to find a place with few people to wait for him when he came back, but unexpectedly, he saw Yu Xue Jing, a busy man whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Master Yu, why come to me when you have time?"

After Xu Youxi finished speaking, she keenly noticed that Yu Xue Jing's face was much uglier than usual, and immediately realized that something might have happened.

"Your Majesty, a riot broke out in Hangzhou, the entire government office in Hangzhou was occupied by bandits, and the prefect of Hangzhou was captured."

Yu Xuejing lowered his voice.

Xu Youxi was not surprised by this news: "Where are the firearms soldiers sent out by the Shenji Battalion more than ten days ago?"

"We can arrive in Nanjing today."

Seeing that Xu Youxi remained silent, Yu Xue Jing paused, and added the second half of the sentence: "There is one more thing, the letter that the patriarch ordered Lin Hong to send back to Shangjing in the past two days is not right, and I suspect that the letter has been transferred."

"It seems that the king of Shu really can't hold back."

Since the incident in Wala, the number of troops in Dagan has shrunk dramatically.As a result, Hangzhou was in turmoil at this time, and the defenders in several nearby cities could not withstand large-scale mobilization.In case of being hit by the enemy's transfer of the tiger away from the mountain, it is easy to lose the big because of the small.

Xu Youxi began to think about the King of Shu's plan. The two armies going to Hanzhong and Jingzhou should have just arrived there recently to guard the area. The whole court knew this well, but the army sent to Hangzhou was kept secret from the outside world.

If she guessed correctly, some court officials would start blindly suggesting to her in the morning that she might be able to transfer the Shenji Battalion troops from the two places to Hangzhou to suppress the rogues.

No matter how powerful the firearms soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were, they couldn't stand the long-distance travel between the two places.First, it took more than ten days for Shangjing to arrive in Jingzhou, and before he had rested, he rushed to Hangzhou to suppress the rogues in a few days.

The King of Shu's plan should be that even if the Shenji Battalion temporarily suppressed the rogues in Hangzhou, they must be exhausted when they return to Jingzhou and Hanzhong.

Even if the new emperor was not fooled, but chose to transfer another army to Hangzhou to suppress, there has already been a turmoil in Hangzhou, wouldn't there be a second, third?

No, there must be something missing, Xu Youxi sorted out his thoughts bit by bit.

If the king of Shu really intends to rebel, he must have a stronger support, otherwise why would he risk his life to rebel blatantly, Xu Youxi quickly predicted.

"Master Yu, let's go back to the palace first!"
