Datang first village

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuanxing dressed himself and left the room when the sky was slightly bright.

Wu Zhao didn't come back all night, I really don't know if her small body can withstand staying up all night.

When Li Yuanxing left the courtyard, all the guards who were about to salute were stunned.

What Li Yuanxing was wearing was extremely outrageous.A pair of long leather boots under the feet, all the way to the knees.Then there was a pair of dark green trousers, which no one in Datang had ever seen before.The most peculiar thing is the two-finger-wide cowhide belt with a stainless steel buckle in the middle.

The upper body is a white top, which is a modern cotton short-sleeved long-sleeved top imitating Chinese style.

It is very common in modern times, but it is amazing in Tang Dynasty, especially the tightly bound cuffs and the row of copper buttons, it is absolutely different, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will definitely impeach King Qin for being rude.

Even if this dress is full of the Han family's color feeling, it is far from the standard clothes of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to this white top, there is also a Chinese-style back, which is also dark green.The front is just that open.

On the head, there is no crown.Li Yuanxing's hair was already very long, already at shoulder length, tied casually with a ribbon.

The only ornament on his body was a gold medal hanging from a silver chain around his neck.

Although this outfit is different, it is heroic.

"Your Highness, this is it!" The old wolf really didn't understand.

"I'm not used to it. I get used to it after watching too much. But you, Old Wolf, may not be able to move smoothly!" Li Yuanxing had no intention of listening to objections at all. Now that he has decided to change, he must have the determination to change.Everything starts with himself, and Li Yuanxing also has plans to reform the military uniform.

It was indeed much easier for Li Yuanxing to get on his horse than to wear King Qin's suit.

What Qin Wang wants to do, the old wolf will not ask.

It's just a set of clothes. If the people in the Ministry of Rites impeach him for such a trivial matter, someone will naturally speak out.Li Yuanxing didn't intend to go out of the village to greet him, but went to King Qin's farm. Even if he didn't want to take care of these trivial matters, the big sacrifice was not a trivial matter, so at least he had to go and have a look.

Before dawn, Qu Tutong left Qinwangzhuang. Today he is going to bring the fleet into the village. If the fleet reports a number, someone from Qinwangzhuang will go to check it out.

On the other side, when the sun just came out, Tang Emperor Li Er came to Qinwangzhuang.

In addition to Li Er, there are civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty, as well as envoys from various countries.

Naturally, Li Er would not let go of any opportunity to demonstrate the national power of the Tang Dynasty. The Qinwang farm produced a thousand catties per mu, not only to let the courtiers see, but also to let the envoys of all countries see that the national power of the Tang Dynasty is strong.

Li Yuanxing inspected the farm, and his unusual attire can be said to have shocked everyone who saw him.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Yuanxing returned to Qinwangzhuang, looked at the imperial guards who were in tents on the school grounds, and watched from a distance while biting a cigarette.He casually asked, "Old Wolf, what are you having for lunch today?"

The old wolf was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Your Highness, you should line up to meet us."

"Your Majesty has a full set of ceremonial guards!"

"Returning to His Highness, the news from Chang'an is indeed a full set of ceremonial guards." The old wolf replied.

After Li Yuanxing lit the cigarette, he said: "Give orders, cook, eat!"

"Your Highness!" The old wolf was a little anxious. This was rude, even if Li Yuanxing was the King of Qin, he would not be able to bear this responsibility.

However, Li Yuanxing smiled: "How long will it take for Chang'an to get here with a full set of guards of honor. Besides, the shops on both sides of Qinwangzhuang will open together today, and the emperor will stop there anyway. You send someone out to have a look, and prepare to go out after five miles away from Zhuangzi. It's not too late to welcome."

The old wolf made some calculations in his mind, patted himself on the head, and ran to deliver the order.

After the old wolf left, Li Yuanxing asked Bai Erwa again: "Erwa, is the girl still in the workshop?"

"Yes, but I sent someone to send a message, and I will surprise His Highness in another hour!" Bai Erwa replied with her head bowed.

After hesitating for a while, Bai Erwa said again: "Your Highness, the princes are also in the workshop!" Li Yuanxing smiled and said nothing!

The people in Qinwangzhuang had dinner, but the Emperor Datang had a few snacks.The team was more than ten miles long, and they had already stopped to rest. Li Er was right in front of the first bridge in the garden in the middle of the street. "Light cars take the ring road, and guards of honor take the straight road."

Li Er gave this order because he really wanted to take a look at the largest trading houses in Datang.

In fact, not only Li Er, but also envoys from various countries want to visit.At this time, there were already dozens of commercial firms on both sides of the straight road, but the doors were closed. It was presumably because the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty passed by here, so there was a ban.After they got to know this place, they knew that this ring road was where Datang's real top business firm was located.

Since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to take a look at these firms, perhaps they should open for business.

The leaders of the commercial bank actually have their hearts in their throats at this time. The King of Qin has ordered that if the Holy Majesty goes straight to Qinwangzhuang all the way, the opening of the commercial bank will be postponed.But if St. gets on and off, then it's open.

The leaders of the firm were really nervous, and they were expecting the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to get off the car.

But the other side was nervous again, afraid that it would not be ready there, and it would be better to give it two more days.

In this conflicting mood, the guards of Prince Qin's Mansion who had been arranged here earlier sent a signal, and the Emperor Datang got off the car, and the guard of honor began to rest.

Just when Li Er's footsteps stepped into the commercial ring road, Zheng He appeared and knelt down to meet him from afar.

Eunuch Gao next to Li Er whispered to Li Er, "Your Majesty, that is the head of the Qin Palace." Li Er nodded, and Eunuch Gao called Zheng He to him. , My Royal Highness King Qin has given orders, if the Holy Majesty inspects the business houses, and all the businesses are open for business today, please give the Holy Majesty a gift!"

A red matchlock!

Li Er understood what Li Yuanxing meant, and took out his pure steel lighter, snap!A flame was fired to light the matchlock.

Zheng He trotted, came to an object that looked like a long red snake, lit it with a matchlock, and then quickly ran aside.

The crackling sound was deafening!

Li Er smiled, seeing the surprised expressions of the ministers and envoys beside him, he was very satisfied.

What Li Yuanxing did must not be ordinary, so any surprises no longer existed for Li Er.

Red paper all over the floor, spread thickly on the ground.

Boom!Boom!

24 consecutive cannons exploded in the air, and all the shops opened wide at the same time. This was Li Yuanxing's signal to the firm. Thousands of partners from the chamber of commerce scattered red pieces of paper on the ground, and then stood neatly in front of their own firm.Wu Zhao also said that [-] firecrackers will be set off.

First, Li Yuanxing couldn't bring them. Second, Datang couldn't make firecrackers of the same level as Dadihong.Not to mention the square box salute.

Therefore, Li Yuanxing can only bring a 24-headed firecracker, plus a [-]-gun salute.

Li Er is very satisfied!Shocking enough, festive enough.The more surprised he saw the foreign envoys, the happier Li Er was.

Red, this is noble enough. It would cost a lot to lay a red carpet on such a long street, but it doesn't feel as good as this unknown thing exploding all over the place, especially the red paper scattered on the street, plus the red leaves in autumn, Li Er's face is already red. Couldn't help but smile.

Raising their legs forward, these shop assistants are obviously trained. Everyone stands in the same posture and wears similar clothes.

The same thing is the style, almost all of them are alone, with a small cap and short jacket, a small waist-length hanger, and bloomers.

The difference is the color. The colors of the clothes of the partners of each family are completely different. What’s more, everyone’s jackets are printed with words, some are printed with silk, some are printed with wood, and some are printed with two words. , Such as household items, there are also printed Wanhuo, and there is another family that has four characters, which say travel thousands of miles.

Li Er was interested in the words "Wanhuo", so he walked in.

The shopkeeper immediately trotted from the inside to the door to greet him, and a partner shouted at the door: "VIP is coming, serve tea!"

But after entering the store, there was nothing on the door.

Li Er's face darkened, and he secretly scolded Li Yuanxing for not being careful in his work. The store was out of stock when it opened. Isn't this a joke for foreign envoys!

Gao Jian knew the inside story: "Your Majesty, here are all commercial offices, no spare parts!"

"How do you say that?" Li Er asked curiously.

Gao Jian glanced at the shopkeeper, "You Wanhuo store, what kind of goods do you have?"

The shopkeeper bowed deeply: "My lord, please move on, Xiaohang is known as Wanhuo. In fact, there are thousands of kinds of groceries. There are all kinds of goods used in the home. There are also racks and axles, and there are even things with carving knives and sawing boards! "

The shopkeeper took Li Er into one of the rooms called the exhibition hall.

There are all kinds of utensils on the shelves inside, but none of them are finished products. It can be said that there are many things that Li Er doesn't know what they are. This makes Li Er very curious, pointing to one and asking: " What is this thing?"

"If you want to return to your distinguished guest, this is the shaft head of the loom, which is made of wood, covered with bamboo strips, and covered with iron rings. It is a kind of object on the loom. I shipped [-] pieces of this thing in the first ten days of the Wanhuo Trading Company, and it was made by thirteen workers. Each shaft head has the house number of each workshop!" After that, the shopkeeper took one up, held it in front of Li Er with both hands, and pointed to a small bamboo plaque on it: "It is engraved on it, Hu Ji ! This is an item from the Hu Family Workshop."

Li Er knew about the loom, each craftsman should make it independently, why this store only sells the shaft head.

The shopkeeper explained: "Guests, you don't know, this shaft head consumes a lot of money. It needs to be replaced every month, and the craftsman makes it alone. A shaft head costs 30 yuan with labor and materials. Wanhuo Trading Company receives the goods. The craftsmen work together, and the workshop only makes shaft heads. A workshop of 140 people can make [-] a day. Money, after taxes, the weaving workshop only needs to spend nine cents and five cents to buy it back."

Li Er nodded slightly, afraid that this is what Li Yuanxing said, the industrial chain.

High production efficiency, and can save a lot of money.

The shopkeeper said again: "The villain is ashamed, His Royal Highness Qin Wang has seen this thing, and said it when he taught the magic method of the business, it is only one penny!" (To be continued.)
