God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 571 Charity Gala
Empress Changsun frowned.

I only heard Du He hurriedly said: "Queen, what you do is not for making money, but for two great purposes. First, as the mother of a country, you take the lead in advocating thrift. To gather together and engage in production such as weaving and painting is to let everyone realize that every meal is hard to come by. There are no idlers in the palace, but they will not be ruthless to drive everyone away. Second, the queen does this , It is for the consideration of the people of the world, [-]% of the money earned from the production and sales of items in the harem will be donated to the disaster-stricken state capital, the queen is doing this for the poor people!"

While everyone was still confused, Empress Changsun had already understood that this was making money under the banner of donating money for the people of the world and reducing the living expenses of the harem.

"Okay! Du He, your method is very good! However, I don't know whether it will succeed or not. Why don't you try it in two months!" Empress Changsun said happily.

But Du He shook his head: "Queen, it's not too late for this matter, sooner rather than later, so I suggest that the queen can organize the people in the palace to clean up the unused things in the palace. The International Shopping Center held a charity sale, and invited the ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as big households from Chang’an, to let everyone know that the empress is really doing charity, and it won’t be too late to organize production in the palace after the sale is over tomorrow.”

"It makes sense...but why are you so concerned about this matter?" The Empress Changsun is also a good person, and she soon found out that something was wrong. She knew a long time ago that Du He didn't see the benefits and would not act, but now he is so considerate, it must be different unusual.

Du He laughed and said: "The empress is really smart, she can see through the minister's thoughts at a glance. In fact, the minister has built a luxurious international shopping center in the west of the city, but unfortunately no one knows the goods, so I want to take advantage of this matter and invite the ministers of the DPRK and China to visit Take a look at the scene... I decided that Chang'an International Shopping Center will reserve a store for the queen, which will exclusively sell things produced in the harem."

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled and said: "You kid, you are very cunning. If this matter is done, I will not blame you. If it is not done well, I will deal with you at that time."

Du He hurriedly lowered his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Empress Changsun asked people to send invitations to the bigwigs in the court and the big households in Chang'an to sell the idle items in the palace on the third floor of Chang'an International Shopping Center in the evening of this day, one of which is to streamline the life of the harem Expenses, the second is to donate one of the money from the sale to the states and counties that have been hit by the disaster recently, for the benefit of the people.

The people who received the invitation dared not neglect, and expressed that they must be there in advance.

And Du He took a few of his men to walk the alpacas and pandas in Chang'an City.

On Renmin Avenue, Du He was holding the alpaca with his left hand, and with his right hand... nothing was held in his right hand, because this panda has a temper, and he just followed Du He. There was no way to tie it with a rope.

As soon as these two strange creatures appeared, they quickly caused a sensation.

"Wow, that... looks like an iron-eating beast, but it looks too fat, panting when walking, looks like an iron-eating beast, but it's not fierce at all, so strange..."

"Is that a sheep? Not like, the head is like a camel, how could it grow like this!"

"Where did the Marquis of Huyi County grab this thing!"

"The world is so big, there are no surprises, today I have learned a lot!"

People talked a lot, and then followed Du He and walked forward.

In a short time, thousands of people followed.

Soon, everyone in Chang'an City knew that Hou Duhe of Huyi County had captured two strange animals, one was an iron-eating beast, and the other looked like a sheep and camel.

It's a pity that the usually spacious People's Avenue is very narrow at the moment, and many people are far away from each other, so they can't see the appearance of these two strange creatures clearly.

Then Du He announced in the street: "Everyone, don't worry, the one on my left is called an alpaca, also called a grass mud horse, and the one on the right is not the iron-eating beast that everyone says, but a giant panda. In order to let everyone have a chance to see, Starting at You hour today, alpacas and pandas will be placed in Chang'an International Shopping Center, everyone can line up to see them up close, and even touch them..."

"Okay!"

"it is good!"

The crowd applauded.

……

at dusk.

Horse-drawn carriages were parked on the huge square outside Chang'an International Shopping Center.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a young man in a red robe ran over and led the driver to move the carriage to a place not far away that was specially used to park the carriage and tie the horses.

Changsun Wuji and others got out of the carriage one after another and gathered at the gate.

From a distance, Chang'an International Shopping Center is very luxurious and magnificent. The whole building is made of bricks.

Chen Shuda stepped forward and asked, "Everyone, you must have received Du He's invitation, right? Du He thought it was a good idea and wanted us to rent his shop. This place is not close to the East and West cities. It used to be Chang'an City." The most impoverished place is where ordinary people would never come here, if it wasn't for the queen's invitation today, I wouldn't want to come to this shitty place!"

"Yeah, what's the use of opening a shop in this broken place!"

"Master Chen is right!"

"I heard that the Chang'an International Shopping Center cost Du He millions of guan, now it seems that the bamboo basket fetching water is all for nothing!"

"What a pity!"

Everyone didn't think the mall would open.

No one is willing to open their own shop in this place.

Changsun Wuji said: "The most important point is that this place is very desolate and no one patronizes. If you open a shop here, you may not even think about selling a single thing in a year. The name of the shopping center Duhe comes from. It’s good, but it’s useless if no one patronizes it!”

"I can assure you that even if this shopping center opens, there won't be more than ten people visiting it." Changsun Wuji added after thinking about it.

"Hey, look, why are there so many people over there?"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that on the other side of the square, there were all human heads.

At a glance, there are at least several thousand people.And line up neatly to go inside the shopping center.

Everyone was startled.

Swish.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Changsun Wuji.

Just now, grandson Wuji had sworn that even if this shopping center opened, no more than ten people would visit it, but there were at least 3000 people in front of him.

Changsun Wuji suddenly felt a little red in the face.

Fortunately, when Li Er arrived, everyone came forward to salute, so it would not be so embarrassing.

Under the guidance of a few servants, everyone walked into the shopping mall, only to find that there was something strange in it. The outside was a square building, but the inside was round. There was a huge circular pool in the middle, and there were fish, flowers and plants in the pool. There are trees next to it, and the sky above the pool extends upwards, and the sky can be seen, but the sky above is actually covered by transparent glass, even if it rains outside, it cannot affect the shopping center.

Of course, in everyone's eyes, it is not glass, but transparent colored glaze, which is a large piece, which is shocking enough.

Before everyone could visit in detail, a maid came over and invited everyone to the third floor, because the charity party was about to begin.
