Wind rises time and space gate

Wang Keren asked an inappropriate question, which made Su Miaoyun feel like her face had been slapped hard.

I felt extremely angry, but it was hard to get angry in front of the queen and the prince.

Holding back, "Sister Wang, you are from another province, and you have heard a lot of gossip."

Her eyes were quenched, "Sister Wang serves the prince together with our sisters. You should know that the prince is kind and generous to his brothers, and that the King of Yue has no one to take care of him, so he takes this matter to heart. That library in the middle of Beijing, I heard that your Wang family There are also many people going there. If you can be used by the prince and draw the King of Yue closer to help the prince, what's wrong with it?"

The implication is that she has selfish motives, but her selfish motives are all for the prince and his great cause.

If the Su family married a daughter into the Yue Prince's Palace, wouldn't their relationship with the prince become even closer?

When the prince heard this, he nodded in agreement. Su Miaoyun thought of him in everything and felt very relieved. Previously, Su Miaoyun wanted to tell the King of Yue about her concubine. She told him and got his approval.

The queen on the side glanced at the prince and saw what he looked like, and she knew better.

It seems that the prince also intends to marry the king of Yue as a way to win over him.

Originally, she thought that Su Miaoyun was once the fiancée of the King of Yue, and felt a little wary. But now she saw that she was always thinking about the prince, and glanced at the children Su Miaoyun gave birth to for the prince. The queen's eyes became softer when she looked at her.

"What Concubine Su said makes sense. I should have a good discussion with the Emperor about the life-long events of the King of Yue. I am the legitimate mother of the King of Yue, and I should take care of his marriage. Otherwise, outsiders will not know how to arrange it for me."

Seeing that Wang Keren failed to step on Su Miaoyun and let her get praise from the Crown Prince and the Queen, it only made her more ambitious and resented that her molars were wrong.

Su Miaoyun didn't pay attention to Wang Keren's cannibalistic eyes, but instead made suggestions with great interest...

"Your Majesty, in a few days there will be a birthday party for the eldest son of Prince Jin. I heard that Concubine Liu also invited the Emperor to go with her. Why don't I send a message to each family and ask the matron of each family to bring their daughters of appropriate age to the banquet? It would be a good idea. The King of Yue has a look."

The Queen's eyes lit up.

It was originally heard that there was going to be a grand banquet for the first birthday of King Jin's eldest son. Concubine Liu Guifei did not know what kind of charming tricks she used to persuade the emperor to leave the palace to make a face for a little kid who didn't know whether he could stand up yet. The queen was extremely angry.

But now listening to what Su Miaoyun said, if she posted a message to the matrons of various families, wouldn't Concubine Liu's shine be severely suppressed by herself?

The queen felt comfortable just thinking about it.

"Then let's do it."

On the other side, after leaving Jingyang Palace and waiting at the gate of the palace, Zhao Guangyuan, who did not wait for King Jin to come, was told that Concubine Liu had left King Jin in the palace to discuss things, and did not care about King Jin letting him go.

We took a carriage and left Miyagi. He didn't return home either, and sent the carriage to Nanbei City.

We got off the carriage at the street corner and walked in with Cao Cuo alone.

The east of the capital is rich, the west is noble, the south is poor, and the north is humble. Only ordinary people live in the north and south cities, and the shops they open sell only ordinary things. Walking along the way, he was dressed in rich clothes, which was incompatible with the simplicity of Nanbei City.

Passers-by kept looking back at him.

When the waiters soliciting customers at the door of various shops saw the noble people coming to Nanbei City, their eyes lit up green, and their soliciting voices became louder, and they wanted to go forward and pull him into the store.

"Dear guest, please come to our store and have a look. We have newly made cakes and preserves. They are sweet but not greasy, and you will never tire of eating them..."

"Dear guest, please come and have a look at our shop. We have a new batch of cloth. It is thick and wear-resistant. It is perfect to buy for your family members. The price can be discounted if the quantity is large..."

Cao Cuo was frightened by the enthusiasm of the store owners. Everyone looked at them as if they wanted to tear them apart.

Zhao Guangyuan, on the other hand, smiled at every clerk and would go into the shop to have a look if he met someone who was interested.

After a while, Cao Cuo was carrying various things in both hands.

The master and servant walked for a while and arrived near their shop.

Before I even got close, I saw people coming and going in front of the shop. The customers coming out of the shop were all carrying large and small bags. It seemed that they had a great time shopping and bought a lot of things.

Zhao Guangyuan looked at the plaque. Now the name of the shop has been changed to "Nanshi Grocery Store". The store has been expanded several times and now has seven doors. It is the only store of this size in Nanbei City.

Stopping for a moment to observe, I listened to the two waiters at the door greeting me and sending them off, their attitude was warm and thoughtful. Satisfied.

One of the waiters had just delivered a merchant who had come to Beijing to consign the goods. He turned around and saw a noble man standing there. He immediately became energetic and rushed forward. "The distinguished guest has come to the door, and the shop is full of glory. Please also invite me." As distinguished guests enter, the young lady will introduce you in detail."

Zhao Guangyuan smiled slightly at him and followed him into the store.

“Are these distinguished guests here because of our reputation, or have they never heard of our shop before coming here?”

"Come here because of its reputation."

When the guy heard this, he immediately straightened his back and looked very proud.

Although their shop is located in Nanshi, its reputation is well-known. Who in Beijing doesn’t know their “Nanshi Grocery Store”?

Although his shop sells groceries, it is everywhere in Beijing and Daqi. Which shop has a complete range of goods at favorable prices and releases new products from time to time?

Which shop in Nanbei City is bigger than his?

I asked all over the capital, and when I heard about Nanshi Grocery Store, who knew it? He said that this shop is located in the East and West Market, and its business is booming.

It was just that their boss wanted to benefit ordinary people, so he opened the shop in Nanshi.

But in recent years, the business has been better than that of the shops in the East and West markets, with more turnover. He was proud to be a boy in the shop.

"Do you have anything you like? Do you want me to introduce it to you?"

The young waiter is very enthusiastic, not flattering when meeting noble people, and the service is equally attentive and meticulous.

Zhao Guangyuan was interested in giving him a test, so he said that he had only heard of it and didn't know what was sold in the store, so he asked him to introduce it.

The guy started talking without stopping...

Zhao Guangyuan listened patiently and let him lead him around the store. The products introduced by the other party were carefully held in hand and viewed.

Now the shop has expanded from a small shop with two doors to a seven-bay one. The shops on both sides have been bought.

The shop mimics the layout of a modern small supermarket, with all kinds of products on display. The same products are arranged in a row, and the prices are marked with Arabic numerals. It is simple and clear, and customers can choose what they want.

In the middle of the entrance, a wooden shelf is used to make a ladder shape, and rice, noodles and grains are placed. Thick pieces of paper are inserted in the middle of the rice bags, and the prices are marked with Arabic numerals. Customers who enter the store can see it at a glance.

This is what Zhao Guangyuan specifically confessed.

Food is the most important thing for the people. All kinds of grains are displayed in the shop with the prices marked. Customers who enter the store but not enter the store can see the fluctuation of food prices at a glance.

Ordinary people have always only cared about whether they have enough to eat. Political affairs have little to do with them. They don't like to inquire. They usually only worry about the livelihood of their family.

But if food prices fluctuate, it will affect the livelihood of ordinary people. Or the weather has changed, the grain-producing areas have been hit by disasters, resulting in reduced grain output, or the frontline war has been intense, leading to food shortages, etc.

As long as the common people see changes in food prices, they will make preparations for the livelihood of the whole family. If the food prices fall, they will eat more and eat more. If the food prices rise, they will eat less, tighten their belts and stock up. food.

Even when the store is closed, a food price sign will be hung at the door of the store, so people passing by can see the food price fluctuations at a glance.

People can also get a glimpse of current events from changes in food prices and make family arrangements accordingly.

Many people from the northern and southern cities came here to look at the food price tags, and they felt at ease after just one look. If the price of food has not moved, it means that the world is peaceful, people are happy, and they eat more meals.

When Yanzhou was hit by a disaster some time ago, they learned about current affairs through grain price tags, so they stocked up on grain and arranged their own work for this purpose.

This kind of operation is very popular with the people of North and South City.

And because he was the first to quote Arabic numerals, the illiterate people in the north and south cities could understand prices and apply these numbers to their daily lives, benefiting countless people. There are more and more repeat customers in the store.

The reputation spread throughout the capital, and the merchants who entered the capital dispersed to various places. There is an endless stream of merchants coming here every day. The business is so good that it is enviable.
