Chapter 50. Chapter 50.
As soon as Taifu finished speaking, the boss He Ying opened the box containing the watch.

Although they don't know watches, they have seen wall clocks.

The second and third sons of the Taifu's family were fifteen or sixteen years old, snatched the watch from the elder brother's hand, and happily put it on his wrist.

The third child is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, "Father, I want this!"

The Tai Tuo stared and said with a straight face, "You want everything, let me put it down."

He Qi reluctantly took off the watch, but He Ying suddenly raised his hand to stop it, "Father, Wang An said that everyone has a share of the watch, so let the third brother hold it."

Tai Fu coughed twice: "What else did King An say?"

"An Wang said that the desk lamp is for us to protect our eyes when reading at night by holding candles, so that we don't miss our homework."

The third child boldly snatched back the desk lamp from his own father: "Father, this is a gift from King An, you should take the watch!"

The Tai Tuo was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and the madam hurriedly pulled him: "Qi'er is still young, don't get angry with him."

"Do you think he is plausible! I just borrowed it and used it, and it's not that I won't give it to him. Look at his stingy appearance, he doesn't look like our He family!"

The third child hugged the desk lamp and giggled, Wang An is so kind.

The second child took the courage to get his own desk lamp, and let the elder brother lend the rest to his father. Anyway, the elder brother is getting married soon and won't be able to use it for the time being.

As the gifts were taken out one by one, the Tai Tuo's eyes turned green with envy, and he wished he could snatch things from his own son.It's a pity that these are all the sons that King An named to give to him. The meaning of King An is obvious, let him train his sons, and they will all become the right-hand men of the new emperor when they inherit the Datong in the future.

King An was like this, which made the Taifu very pleased, and the heartache in his heart was a little less.

In the end, everyone got gifts, including the youngest daughter and the eldest daughter-in-law who had not yet entered the house. It can be seen how much An Wang cares about the Taifu family.

Every man has a watch, all women have perfume, and the gifts everyone has are toothbrushes and thermos cups, and children who are also studying have the most gifts.The desk lamp was the most memorable thing for the Taifu, so he spent several nights rubbing the desk lamp in his son's room.

In the past half a month, the two youngest sons of the Taifu couldn't stand it anymore.

The third child stood in front of his father: "Father, my second brother and I want to go to Qiongzhou."

The Tai Tuo was not angry, but stroked his beard: "Tell me what you think."

"It is said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. My second brother and I want to go outside to experience people's livelihood. We always read sage books and it is difficult for us to understand the suffering of the people. It is a time when King An is short of people. If we go there, we will definitely be able to do it." fact."

In fact, ever since King An gave them school supplies, they have been curious about what kind of place Qiongzhou is, so that there are so many strange things.They already had the idea of ​​going on a study tour, but now they are going to seek refuge with King An.

The second child added: "Father, it's only a matter of time before you get it on paper, and you never know that you have to do it. Didn't you tell us that? My third brother and I staying in the Imperial College will allow us to enter the official career, but we can't become people who love the people like a man." son's good officer."

Seeing his son's resolute attitude, Tai Tu was very pleased: "Okay, since you have made up your mind to go, I will ask King An for you."

The two teenagers hadn't thought that it was the decision made today that made them the most famous scientists in the Ning Dynasty in the future.

Outsiders don't know what happened in Taifu's house.However, if there is anyone who the noble ladies of the capital envy the most these days, it is He Yuan, the youngest daughter of the Grand Tutor's family.She didn't know where to get the precious spices, and she exuded a faint floral fragrance all over her body. The fragrance was tangy everywhere she went, elegant but not greasy.No matter how they inquired, He Yuan insisted that it was the smell from the garden.

Not only He Yuan, but also Taifu's wife and He Ying's fiancée Meng Wan, they all exude a charming fragrance of flowers, which is more refreshing than the fragrance of flowers in the garden.

Even the princess couldn't help but summon the female relatives of the Taifu's family to a tea party, just to smell them for himself.The princess invited the female family members of the Taifu's family to discuss in the cubicle alone. When they came out, it was clear to everyone that the princess and Meng Wan had changed clothes.

This matter has also spread to the palace, and now the harem has no owner, only three concubines jointly manage the harem.The three of them oppressed each other, and two more Jieyu were pregnant in the palace. His Majesty personally said that if the child could not be kept, the three of them would be punished together.For the sake of His Majesty's Lin'er, they didn't dare to make extra troubles and had to give up.

The Taifu's family members are so ostentatious, but no one dares to target the Taifu.Taifu's biggest backer, the former prince, has been abolished, and he is still someone else's wooing target.The Taifu has a close relationship with His Majesty, and was once His Majesty's companion when he was the prince.The deposed prince was dispatched without any involvement with the Taifu, so you can see the weight of the Taifu in His Majesty's heart.

Everyone was sorry to hear that the two sons of the Taifu family were going to go on a study tour.With the status of Taifu, He Shu and He Qi can enter the Ministry of Rites after staying in Guozijian for a few more years, and they don't even need to take the imperial examination.

The two teenagers just couldn't think of going out for a study tour. It seemed that they wanted to take the imperial examination route. They could directly enter the court and become officials, and they insisted on joining forces with peasant children.

After the Taifu came to court, he was invited by His Majesty, and the emperor in the imperial study was revising the memorial.

"It is said that you got good things again?" If you get good things and don't show off, then you are not a master.

He Changqing rolled up his sleeves and revealed his watch, "You can't hide this from His Majesty's eyes."

He only showed it off to a few of his colleagues, and it must have been some talkative guy who spread it around so that His Majesty's hidden guards could hear it.

He presented something: "This thing is a watch, which is the same thing as a clock, but it is more convenient to tell the time."

Emperor Yongning took the watch and compared it with the wall clock on the wall, the time was exactly the same.

He Changqing could tell from His Majesty's expression that he was very satisfied.

"I will give this to Your Majesty as a gift."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongning pretended to be angry: "What my son gave you, why did you give it to me?" That heartless son only gave all good things to the Taifu, who is his father!

He Changqing continued: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for borrowing the old minister to observe, and the watch will be returned to its original owner."

Only now did Emperor Yongning feel at ease physically and mentally.

"Your eldest son is now the minister of the Ministry of Industry?"

Without waiting for the Taifu to answer, Emperor Yongning continued, "I heard that your two young sons are going to go on a study tour. I have a position here and I can't find a suitable person. What do you think of He Ying?"

The Tai Tuo was worried all the way, and His Majesty's move made him even more confused.Leizhou is only half a day away from Qiongzhou by boat, and it takes one day to go back and forth. His Majesty asked He Ying to go to Leizhou to be the governor. On the surface, he was promoted to an official, but he didn't know what arrangements were made for him.

After half a month of busy work, the renovation of Qiaoelya's commercial street was completed. Not only that, all the shop assistants have also been trained and graduated.

The two clever little eunuchs, Fushou and Fuquan, didn't know how to think about the prince's mind when serving people, but they were quick learners, so Xiao Jinyou gave them to her to be at her beck and call.

Qiaoerya was worried that there was no one to help train the staff, so Xiao Jinyou's grandfather's family sent some beautiful maids, hoping that he could take over the room and become housemaids.

Xiao Jinyou wanted to send him back, but was stopped by Qiaoerya.It is uncertain what to do with these maidservants when they are sent back. Now that the palace is short of manpower, taking them as employees not only solves the trouble, but also prevents the grandfather's family from continuing to send them away.Those who don't want to be employees will give 20 taels of silver back to the contract of sale and leave by themselves.

Xiao Jinyou saw that she cherished talents, and the only requirement was that these women could not live in the palace, so Qiaoerya went to buy another house as a staff dormitory.

There is a wall between the male and female dormitories, and there are special patrols.She does not prohibit employees from digesting internally, but the relationship between men and women cannot be messed up, otherwise it will affect the work and ruin the reputation of the store.

There are four employees in the milk tea shop, all of whom are sent maids for training. The maids of rich families are more refined than those of ordinary families. Now they are free agents with wages.The milk tea is a combination of bought milk tea bags, and the fruit tea is finished jam except fresh fruit. Even if these maids want to find another job in the future, they don't worry about the recipe leaking.

Qiaoerya also specially customized work clothes for them. The work clothes of each store are different, but all the staff uniforms have a pomelo embroidered on the left chest, which are white, red and yellow. Use the color to distinguish which shop it is staff.

On the day the commercial street officially opened, many large ships from Lin'an City sailed to the coast of Qiongzhou.

These businessmen had long heard that the clocks and watches came from Qiongzhou, and they were objects brought back from Qiongzhou to the sea.At that time, they couldn't wait to go to the island, but they learned that the merchant ship left only after half a month before returning.

This time they calculated the day to go to the island, pinching their fingers to calculate the time every day, for fear that they would be one step late.

Facts proved that their ideas were correct, and they couldn't come to each other. As a result, all the familiar big ships met at sea.

Everyone greeted awkwardly and politely, and immediately changed their faces when they got into the cabin.
"One by one, the old foxes kept saying that Qiongzhou's poor and remote villages can run faster than rabbits when the time comes."

One merchant ship after another was parked on the coast of Qiongzhou, and it was much more lively than before. People on the island ran out to watch the excitement.

"Look, that's the Escort's boat, what kind of treasure is there on our island, why even the Escort is here?!"

"What is the escort agency? Look at the Shen family's ships. The most magnificent fleet in the middle is all Shen's ships. The Shen family is the richest man in Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Even the Shen family has come here. It's really amazing."

These foreign businessmen found food stalls in the familiar way they visited last time, but unfortunately the food stalls are closed during the day.Everyone was extremely depressed.

But what surprised them was that this food stall street was very different from the ones they had seen last time.

When they came last time, the whole street was dilapidated and dilapidated, only the food stalls had the busiest business, and the tables were placed in the small square outside the shop, eating grilled fish while watching the beautiful scenery.

But this time it was completely different. Those closed shops magically opened their doors and became places to eat.

At the intersection, there were two and a half boys holding a stack of thick paper, giving it away to anyone they saw.

Before they could react, someone stuffed one into their arms.

This is paper!Why don't you send it away at will! ?
Even if they are merchants with small fortunes, they dare not throw away the paper as a gift.

Qiaoelya dressed casually and went out to inspect today's business on the commercial street.

I have to say that as long as the gimmick is played well, it is just around the corner to make a fortune.

Many merchants came today, all of them came for the wall clock of Wanbao Building.

But she didn't plan to sell wall clocks, so she put a super heavy clock in the store to sway their appetites, and the focus was on glazed products and various glass handicrafts.

The commodity display cabinets in Wanbao Building are all glass cabinets with a locked glass door outside. Only after paying a deposit can they be taken out for a closer look.If you are worried about quality problems, the goods will be dispatched from the warehouse, and the exhibits will not be sold.

This group of businessmen moved around after arriving on the island. Since the food stalls were not open, they were going to stroll around the island to inquire about the situation.

This went to the gate of Baozhu Pavilion.

"The Baozhu Pavilion in Qiongzhou has been open for two years and has not closed down. It seems that the shopkeeper has two brushes."

"Who says it's not? It's said that Baozhu Pavilion has newly released pure-color glazed beads. I don't know if this store has them."

"Go and have a look, maybe if there is a rare color, it will be released." Liuli Orb is a financial product in the hands of a businessman. The rarer the color, the higher the value, and it can be resold at will.This is why colored glaze orbs are so sought after.

The proprietress of Baozhu Pavilion had a good time for nearly half a month, and greeted everyone with a smile.Since the store clerk bought pure colored glaze beads from overseas merchants, the business in the store has revived again.However, she only sold two pure-color orbs in order to sell them at a high price, and they were all sold to the female relatives of the prefect's family.She will sell the rest at the highest price.You must know that she spent 20 taels of silver to buy each bead, and she had to sell it for 40 taels to get back the cost.

There was endless sound of firecrackers outside. It is said that there is a commercial street in the next street, backed by Prince An's Mansion, and the boss behind the scenes is a woman.The proprietress couldn't help thinking of that annoying woman.Hmph, use as many bowls as you can, and you won't be afraid of being overwhelmed if you open a shop all over the street!

Some merchants went to Baozhu Pavilion, and some merchants received the leaflets and looked at it curiously, and their hands trembled after seeing it.

The leaflet designed by Jorya contains all the store introductions in the commercial street.The largest section is of course Wanbaolou, with lifelike color illustrations using modern color printing technology; followed by promotions for hot pot restaurants and milk tea shops, also with color pictures; at the bottom are advertisements for beauty stores and Malatang shops, and the other side is another Several store promotions.

Not only are the pictures lifelike, but even the store door plaques are photographed on them, so that illiterate businessmen can find the place just by looking at the pictures.

As Shen Cai is the richest man in Zhejiang Province, he was greeted when he went to the island, and Zhong Heming personally took him to meet King An.

What surprised him was that Wang An didn't win him over, but let him feel the customs of the island.

Shen Cai thought it was funny, the customs and customs of Qiongzhou might make him go out to give alms to the skinny people.But naturally he couldn't take off King An's face, so he agreed with a smile.

He thought it was a polite gesture, but Zhong Heming took him out for a stroll in a serious manner.

Today he came here for the clock, since King An wants him to visit the island, let's see what they're trying to sell.

Zhong Heming knew what the old guy was thinking without guessing, he thought gloatingly, now that he was reluctant, he might not be able to pull out ten cows when he went to Ms. Qiao's shop later.

 Yesterday, the voice code words and hand type code words came alternately. I forgot to change the name of the main character.
