Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 466: Jizhou Prefecture Yang Family

Although Sandao City had experienced a catastrophe, it had finally and gradually regained its former bustle.

The people who died in the catastrophe were of all social status, it all depended on their luck. There were beggars on the street and wealthy people in the city, whoever was supposed to die in the catastrophe died.

The Yang family was lucky. They moved out of the city in advance to avoid the disaster. Then, when Sandao City was at its most chaotic, they were taken to the foot of Thunder Mountain by the Five Thunder Palace and were not affected at all. When they returned to Sandao City, the storm had passed and the situation in Sandao City had stabilized.

Even for Yang Xun, this trip brought him an unexpected great opportunity for his rouge and powder business.

First, Yang Xun received guidance from the alchemist of the Five Thunder Palace in the market at the foot of Leiming Mountain, and improved the formulas of his ointment and rouge and powder. Although the process became more complicated, the effect increased exponentially.

In the past, it could only make the skin smoother, and long-term use could whiten the skin to a certain extent. Now the smoothing effect is doubled, and the time required for whitening is shortened by half.

And it also has a good freckle removal effect.

How amazing is this thing? It can drive women of most ages crazy.

This is one of them.

Secondly, after the catastrophe that occurred in Sandao City, many shops and streets in the city were severely damaged. In addition, many people died, including some owners of prosperous shops, which resulted in many good places in the city being vacant.

Yang Xun took his nameplate and the handwritten note from Liu Chuan, the governor of the prefecture, and acted as a distinguished guest in front of the newly appointed Sandaocheng Yazhu. After finding out that the person behind Yang Xun was Yang Qian, the governor of Shuangqing Prefecture and a general, the Sandaocheng Yazhu said that Yang Xun could choose any vacant place in the city, and he would pay 70% of the price for all the deeds.

In this way, Yang Xun immediately owned two adjacent shops in the best location in Sandao City, and then he connected them to make it the largest and most luxuriously decorated shop in Sandao City.

Not to mention ordinary passers-by, even the children of wealthy families have to dress themselves up carefully before going to Yang Xun's "Shenyan" shop, otherwise they always feel that they are not worthy of such a high-end place.

See? All the fruits on the table are fresh, eat as much as you want!
Colorful and beautiful candies, eat as much as you want!
Even rouge and powder are available in trial boxes for people to try out, free of charge!
If a store like this is open for one day, customers will worry that the boss will lose money. Since you have come here, you should buy something. Otherwise, you can't be called a poor person who comes here to eat for free. Do you still want to save face for your family? Do you still want to save your own face?
As a result, “divine beauty” does not need to advertise itself, and customers will simply label it as a “luxury product”.

Of course, there is no such saying in this world.

But the rouge and powder of Shenyan are five to ten times more expensive than those of other stores. No one is discussing why. However, as soon as the store opens every day, all kinds of beautiful women fill the shop. Every day, the shelves will be cleared out before the afternoon.

Someone suggested that Yang Qian open a store in the imperial city. But Yang Xun smiled and didn't take it seriously. He knew very well that the development of "Shenyan" should be stable and take one step at a time. He should first take control of Jizhou Prefecture.

Soon, the second store of "Shenyan" opened in the capital of Jizhou Prefecture.

The ceremony was grand, with the governor of Jizhou Prefecture, Liu Chuan, and the general of the military yamen, Ge Shuni, both present in person and presenting gifts. They even smiled and bought a box of gouache each in the store, wishing Yang Xun a prosperous business.

This scene pushed "Shenyan" and the Yang family behind "Shenyan" to the forefront of Jizhou Prefecture's upper class circles.

Many people did not know about this business or this Yang family before.

After all, rouge and powder have their own local products in different places, and they all sell well. No one can eat what others have. Therefore, the rouge and powder business has never been considered a big business. At most, it can support a small family, but it is difficult to produce a wealthy merchant.

But this time it’s different. This “Shenyan” rouge and powder shop is very famous and dares to sell products at outrageous prices that are far beyond what most people can imagine.

A box of ointment the size of a child's palm can be sold for two or three gold coins! Can you believe it?
Who is so bold as to come to Jizhou Prefecture to rob money like this? But when Liu Chuan and Ge Shuni came to control the situation, they thought, wow, they have a strong idea!

When I asked again, they all turned out to be deflated.

It turns out that this Yang family is the family of Lord Yang Qian!

The wealthy family who had been furious just now and thought that this "divine face" rouge and powder was a rip-off immediately changed their tone and smilingly asked their female relatives to buy some and bring back the expensive ones!
What? The expensive ones are sold out? Then go again tomorrow! I must get them!
Of course, there are also people who don’t need to compete with others for the pitiful hundreds of boxes of perfumes and rouges and powders every day. Someone will deliver them to you personally, free of charge. Even some new products that have not yet been put on the shelves can be used in advance.

Jizhou Prefecture City, Fang Family.

Fang Ce looked at his wife happily fiddling with a large box of bottles and jars in the house, with a look of confusion on his face.

I know both the East and West strategies. They are just the rouge and powder that women use. My wife loved makeup when she was young, but she didn't wear makeup much when she got older. She paid more attention to accessories and manners. I haven't seen her so actively playing with those bottles and jars for a long time.

But they all look new and well made. The box and the bottles and jars inside seem to be worth a lot of money.

"Are you going to some big event? Did you buy it new?"

"Tsk, Lao Fang, do you know how much this big box is worth? You may not be able to afford such a box even if you teach for a whole year."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ce's hand holding the check began to tremble, wetting his sleeves.

"What? You, you really are willing to spend money!" Fang Ce felt heartbroken, but he didn't get angry. How could he not know what kind of temper his wife had? There must be a reason for the high price. It's impossible for her to spend money recklessly. Otherwise, the family would have been starving for so many years.

"Buy? I can't bear to do that! This is a gift from someone."

"A gift?" Fang Ce's face suddenly turned ugly. He would rather his wife spend money in vain than accept gifts from others.

Today is a gift, but tomorrow it may be a death warrant!

Although Fang Ce was a low-ranking official, he remained self-disciplined and would not use even the slightest bit of power in his hands for personal gain, let alone transfer it privately.

"Lao Fang, why are you so angry with me? Do you know who sent this thing? Not only did he send one to me, he also sent one to Yuan'er!"

The gifts were sent to my own daughter?! Who is so capable?

"Who?" Fang Ce decided to boost the family tradition today! He must not let this evil spirit bring the family tradition astray.

However, his wife's next words immediately shattered the seriousness on Fang Ce's face.

"The second son of the Yang family, Yang Xun, sent it personally. There is also a letter from his mother Xu Ying."
