The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Even though it is surrounded by four rivers, the climate in Kaifeng City is not as good as that of Jiangnan and is a little dry.

Especially in late spring, it is dry and windy.

Young ladies can wash their faces five times a day and still feel like their faces are so hungry.

The young lady of the Liu family in Tianshui Lane in the inner city even keeps wet wipes in her hands all day long.

The Liu family is a well-known merchant family in Kaifeng. The family is well-off. The men are engaged in some spice trading in the Song Dynasty, and the women are responsible for the beauty at home, especially the daughter-in-law of the Liu family's youngest son, the Liu family's young lady, and more. It is to be willing to give up on oneself.

No matter the latest style of clothes in Kaifeng, the most popular rouge, or the beaded hairpin flowers that others can't get, she always has a way to get it.

It’s nothing more than spending money.

The Liu family has plenty of money.

But these days, the young lady of the Liu family is feeling frustrated.

Because in the past few days, Kaifeng City has released a new gadget that even rich people can’t buy—diatom mud facial mask.

At first, no one thought much of the sticky, black and green thing. No serious person would smear this kind of thing all over their face. Isn’t that disgusting?

Therefore, even if it is placed in the most conspicuous position in the largest rouge shop on Royal Street, there is no sales. Not only is it no one cares about it, it is even disliked by others.

If the shopkeeper of the rouge shop hadn't taken the palace's face into consideration, he would have thrown this thing away long ago.

But within a few days, the supplement "Kaifeng One Day" of "Da Song Daily" published a full page article about diatom mud masks, and even scientific officers from the Song Academy of Sciences were interviewed.

It is said that diatom mud has super adsorption, which can deeply cleanse the dirt and oil on the face. It is also rich in the essence of heaven and earth, which not only whitens and brightens the skin, but also makes the skin supple and supple.

With the official platform and the words "Song Academy of Sciences", young ladies who are not short of money are not stingy about spending some money and buying a can.

The sales volume has indeed increased, but for the shopkeeper of Rouge Shop, he is still a mosquito with little money.

Chen Dong, the chief writer of Da Song Daily, felt very humiliated.

He patted his chest and assured Cai Chi, the governor of the Department of Money and Money, that as long as the "Da Song Daily" came forward, there would be no goods that could not be sold.

As the major shareholder of the "Da Song Daily", the Bank and Money Department, and Cai Chi, as the director of the Bank and Money Department, were very dissatisfied with Chen Dong.

"Principal Chen, where did your writing power go?"

Chen Dong didn't seem to hear it at all, and was still thinking carefully with the "Da Song Daily": "Yes, this trick of 'celebrity endorsement' was written in the official pamphlet back then. Haven't I understood it thoroughly?"

"Chen Dong, I'm talking to you!" Cai Ji couldn't hold his breath anymore.

Only then did Chen Dong's reflex arc react: "Ah? What kind of writing power did you have back then?"

Cai Chi snorted and sneered: "The power of the pen to punish the six thieves."

Chen Dong's old face turned red: "Cai Tongzhi, why do you still hold grudges? Yes, I criticized your father with words and writings back then, but that was the current situation at that time. Besides, was it wrong to declare execution? Officials all said... "

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business!" Cai Ji interrupted Chen Dong's complaint. If he continued, he would make a mistake.

"Cai Tongzhi said, I'm listening."

Seeing Chen Dong's attitude, Cai Ji immediately raised his head: "Listen? What's wrong with your little mouth a few days ago? You kept talking. In front of the officials, you said that as long as the Bank of China invests, , your Song Dynasty Daily publicizes it again, guaranteed to make a lot of money. Now that the Money Department has invested, your Song Dynasty Daily also publicized it, what is the result?" "No result?" Chen Dong curled his lips: "Yesterday Rouge Shop Didn't the owner say that he sold another three hundred guan?"

"Three hundred coins?" Cai Ji laughed angrily: "Sixty of them were bought by colleagues from the Banking Department."

Chen Dong also took the bait: "You think only the people in your Banking Department bought it, but our colleagues from the daily newspaper also bought fifty guan."

As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other speechlessly. After looking at each other for a long time, they actually laughed out loud at the same time.

"Hey, so the actual sales volume is less than [-] coins?" Cai Ji smiled bitterly: "In addition to making some money from investing in your Song Dynasty Daily, the Silver Money Department has only been able to rest on its laurels in the past two years."

Chen Dong looked at Cai Ji with sympathy: "Cai Tongzhi, do you think this diatom mud mask itself is..."

"Nonsense!" Cai Ji glared at him: "You dare to question something that the officials think is good? It's obvious that you haven't publicized it widely enough!"

"Okay, Tongzhi Cai is waiting, we will try another move tomorrow."

The next day, the supplement of "Da Song Daily" published another full page. This time, instead of asking the officials of the Academy of Song Dynasty to popularize science, they played the loyalty and patriotism card.

The core point is very simple: buying a facial mask means you love me, Da Song!
As for the logic, it's not complicated.

Who launched the diatom mud mask? Academy of Song Dynasty!

Where did the firearms to defeat the Jin Kingdom come from? Academy of Song Dynasty!
If you don’t buy facial masks, how can the Academy of Song Dynasty make firearms?
Without firearms, how can we defend our country?
Do you love Song Dynasty? Let’s take a jar of diatom mud mask!
The publication of this publication caused quite a stir in Kaifeng city.

What was sensational was not that all the facial masks were sold out, but what was sensational was a case in Kaifeng Mansion.

On the day the article was published, two young ladies at the Rouge Shop on Yu Street had just bought a few cans of Yuyan Cream. When they went out, they were pointed out by a few rough men: "Business girls don't know how to hate the country's subjugation. They obviously have money, but they don't buy it." A few jars of facial masks support the Song Academy of Sciences, bah!”

The two young ladies were so angry that they argued with these rough guys for a few words, but they were beaten!

Kaifeng Mansion opened a court to investigate the case. Not only did these rough guys show no fear, they even tried to explain the logic to Sima Pu: "The Song Daily has published it. Buying a facial mask means being loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and supporting the Academy of Sciences of the Song Dynasty. These women are obviously rich, but they just don’t buy. They clearly don’t love Song Dynasty. My brothers say a few words to them, but they still curse and deserve to be beaten. They are not guilty!"

Sima Pu was so angry that he was speechless and slapped these people twenty times in court.

In the past, these scoundrels would have been frightened out of their wits, but this time not only were they not afraid, they even went to the imperial court to beat the drums and complain.

Of course, the drum was not beaten, but the case spread throughout the streets and alleys, everyone knew about it, and the market was talking about the unfairness of the case in Kaifeng.

Sima Pu was so angry that he ran to the imperial study room to complain: "Guan family, I know that the money for the Zhuxian Town project is not abundant, so you asked the Song Academy of Sciences to launch some commercial products..."

Zhao Fujin interrupted: "Didn't I say it before? The Academy of Song Science will not neglect its business. These commercial goods are all by-products of making firearms. If you throw them away, you will throw them away. Why not push them to the market to increase some income?"

Sima Pu explained: "I understand. What I want to say is that buying and selling is allowed, but you can't mess around. Did you read yesterday's Dasong Daily?"

Zhao Fujin pointed to Zha Zi in front of the imperial examination case: "Do you think I have time to look at it?"

Sima Pu took out a daily supplement from his arms and said, "I brought it here. Official, you'd better take a look."

Zhao Fujin took the daily newspaper with a suspicious face, stretched out his hands, and looked at it intently. The more he looked at it, the more he wanted to laugh: "Did Chen Dong write it?"

Sima Pu shook his head: "I don't know, but whether it's him or not, he is also the main writer. Isn't this nonsense?" (End of Chapter)
