A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1171: Fooling, making a fortune

"Mirror? How big is it?"

When Gao Taotao heard the news, he stood in front of his oversized mirror and turned slightly sideways to look at his figure, which looked bloated due to thicker clothes.

Why!

How nice it would be to have light and warm clothes!

Whenever the cold season comes, it is a low point for women who love beauty. The cold will deprive them of the opportunity to show off their figures, which is really sad!

The fat Feiyan wore a lot of clothes and looked like a big bear. She said, "Sage, he said it is bigger than a fist."

She clenched her fists. Zhaojun glanced at her and said, "It's only as big as your fist."

Feiyan's fists are very big, and she also acts as a guard by Gao Taotao's side. Most people can't bear her fists. Even though she had withstood it, she still had one more trick.

sit!

She had an argument with a chambermaid before, and the chamberlain struck first, but was knocked down by Feiyan's punch. When he was struggling to get up, Feiyan sat down, and the chamberlain immediately lost consciousness and almost died.

Gao Taotao looked at her fist, pursed his lips and smiled, "If that's the case, it's not interesting."

"Sage, your Majesty, please see me."

"What are you asking for?" Gao Taotao said dissatisfied, "I don't agree with Da Lang leaving the cabinet at first, but the official said that the prince must become independent early, otherwise the ministers will not be convinced in the future, so... Hey! It's cold, hurry up and add more Two braziers.”

When Zhao Xu came, he looked happy. When Gao Taotao saw him, he smiled and said, "But there is a happy event?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Sage, Shen An has made a mirror over there, do you know?"

"I just found out." Gao Taotao turned in front of the big mirror again, intoxicated by his own grace and magnanimity, unable to extricate himself.

No matter how much the official likes me, the other women don’t even look at me. It turns out it’s because of my beauty!

Narcissism is an emotion that everyone has, and narcissism can also make people feel relaxed and happy, which is good for the body.

"Sage, although this mirror has appeared, it has not produced much!"

Zhao Xu said seriously, "Now those businessmen are swarming in and have blocked Yulin Lane, just to compete for the mirror..."

"Then Shen An is going to get rich again."

Gao Taotao was a little envious, and then thought of something, "Does our family also have stocks?"

"Yes." Zhao Xu said solemnly, "Sage, when you met with those relatives the day before yesterday, didn't you say that the gifts were too thin afterward? I'm sorry..."

"Yes!" Gao Tao lamented, "Those people are powerful. As a queen, I am not good at giving gifts. I am afraid they will whisper behind my back that I am stingy when I go back. This royal stingy... ugh!"

Shame on you!

She was a little melancholy, and Zhao Xu said happily, "Sage, where is the glass mirror?"

"What happened to the glass mirror?"

"Sage, give me a glass mirror!"

Zhao Xu said anxiously, "While Shen An hasn't given it to them yet, our family will buy a batch first and then send it out. What else can those people say?"

"Yes!" Gao Taotao had been melancholy about this matter for the past two days. She felt it was right when she heard this, but then she shook her head, "How much does a mirror cost? I'm afraid it's expensive. How can we buy it?"

The current financial situation in the palace is pretty good, but you can't spend money lavishly, otherwise it will be bad for your reputation.

The emperors and empresses of the Song Dynasty actually lived in the eyes of the world. Whenever you did something wrong, the saliva would drown you.

Are you tired of living like this?

tired!

But it was cool.

Who doesn’t want to be in the spotlight?

The men and women of later generations have sharpened their heads and squeezed into that circle, isn't it just because of money and the spotlight?

Gao Taotao enjoys this kind of life, so he doesn't like his image to be damaged in the slightest.

Zhao Xu said, "Sage, our family gives gifts..." He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which time was it for nothing?"

It's a great honor for the queen to reward you with something. If you don't return the gift... what kind of behavior is this?

Gao Taotao looks graceful and noble, but she is small-minded... From the fact that there is no beautiful woman next to Zhao Shu, it can be seen that this queen is probably comparable to the Dugu family of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian.

Queen Dugu was so jealous that she would even kill the woman who was her emperor's husband.

Of course Gao Taotao wouldn't kill anyone, but he had many ways to keep Zhao Shu from getting close to others.

If she rewards you with something, if you accept it as a matter of course, you won't get anything in return, haha!

Anyone who knows the queen's temperament will return the gift, and it must be more valuable than what she rewards.

If Gao Taotao hadn't cared about face, she could have used the reward to make a small fortune.

Gao Taotao suddenly understood. He looked at his son with more kindness in his eyes and said, "How much does it cost?"

"Four hundred strings." Zhao Xu stretched out four fingers and said sincerely, "Sage, this is a loss-making price. Yesterday, Shen An said that a batch of these mirrors were produced. Thinking that you need them most, I said that I would buy them first. Keep it for us, and if there is any leftover, sell it to those merchants... But... if it's too late, I'm afraid Shen An won't be able to hold it back!"

"Four hundred strings?" Gao Taotao was surprised at first, "Is it that expensive?"

Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Five hundred strings are given to the merchants."

When a person thinks that this item is relatively expensive, and happens to know that someone else bought it is much more expensive than himself, he will immediately feel that it is "so cheap".

As expected, Gao Taotao's eyebrows relaxed and he smiled and said, "You are still thoughtful."

Zhao Xu said seriously, "Sage, I have seen you depressed these past few days, so now..."

"Good boy." Gao Taotao instantly felt that his eldest son's filial piety was overwhelming, so he ordered, "Here comes someone."

"saint."

The second general Heng Ha came out, his momentum made Zhao Xu tremble.

Gao gushed, "Go...where are they?"

"Over there with Anxiang."

"Go ahead."

Gao Taotao felt that the face he had lost the day before was about to come back, and he couldn't help but feel extremely comfortable, and he became more and more kind-hearted when he looked at his son.

"Look at my husband, how good-looking he is. I've been searching here for a long time, and I've been looking around, but I feel that those women are not worthy of you. Hey! I have to hurry up now so as not to miss you. marriage."

Zhao Xu lowered his head. He felt that the marriage that his mother was looking for was probably hopeless. But he is not the kind of person his father Zhao Shu is. It is impossible to be close to only one woman in his life.

Feiyan and several chamberlains left the palace and hurried to Anxiang.

Anxiang was bustling with people at this moment. After Shen An was pulled by the carriage, people gathered around him and blurted out all kinds of free flattery.

The car curtain opened, and Chen Luo stood on the side, reaching out to help Shen An down.

Shen An's face was red, but he looked weak, as if he had a fever.

"Shen is not feeling well, but he is neglecting everyone."

Shen An bowed his hand very politely.

"Don't dare."

Everyone embraced Shen An and went in. Shen An turned around and said, "I want to take medicine first, so I'm being negligent."

Is this person really sick?

"That crystal mirror is not simple. It can be called a treasure. I saw it just now. It is completely natural! To be able to make such a treasure, Mr. Shen can be called a first-rate genius."

"Didn't it mean that seniors from the Mangshan miscellaneous school lineage are already working on it?"

"It was the unremitting efforts of several generations that led to the creation of this treasure, which is priceless!"

“We’ll see what the price is later, I hope it’s not too high.”

"What are you afraid of? Those rich people don't care about this at all."

Everyone nodded one after another, and some people were already whispering among themselves. They probably felt that they were not strong enough and were ready to join forces to fight for the right to sell mirrors.

Someone suddenly smiled and said, "Um... I wonder if you have received the news? Someone told us not to associate with Mr. Shen, even if we don't pay a penny."

"Yes, but..." A businessman was panicked at first, then raised his eyebrows, "Who cares about them?"

"..."

In the face of money, the warnings of the powerful turned into waste paper and no one cared.

And Shen An went to the back, entered the latrine, and peed happily. After coming out, he said comfortably, "I drank too much tea and felt uncomfortable holding it in. That...Old Wang."

"Yes, someone is here."

Wang Tiande is now more and more respectful to Shen An, which makes Shen An a little sad.

Where did the old Wang go?

Why!

Going all the way to the front yard, Shen An couldn't help but have some strange feelings when looking at the businessmen whose faces were still flushed in the cold wind.

In order to make money, businessmen can tolerate all kinds of suffering, and they are willing to share everything they have... If everyone had this kind of persistence, then the Song Dynasty would probably take on a completely new look.

"I've met County Duke Shen."

Shen An nodded, stood on the steps and said, "You all should know why you are here, so Shen won't talk nonsense. This crystal mirror took hundreds of years of hard work from the Mang Mountain lineage, and countless people worked hard for it. , we finally came up with such a thing, you say it is a treasure, but in Shen’s opinion, it is the hard work of countless seniors.”

He lowered his head slightly, as if mourning for those ancestors.

The same goes for the businessmen, but their adrenaline is soaring and they want to shout with excitement.

OK!

The more precious and rare the better!

That way they can sell it at a higher price.

If anyone doubts it, they will use the story Shen An told to raise the level of the crystal mirror.

Do you know about miscellaneous studies?

Know!

This thing took hundreds of years of effort from the Mang Mountain lineage. How much do you think is appropriate?

One hundred strings?

roll! Go as far as you can!

"Five hundred strings!"

Shen An pointed down, where a waiter carried a box down, and a businessman handed out a mirror.

"Let's see if it's worth it. If you think it's not worth it, the door is open. Take your time and don't give it away. We'll cooperate next time if we have a chance."

Everyone was watching carefully, and someone whispered, "Is five hundred strings too much?"

"yes!"

"How about...pay the price?"

"You can read it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "

At this moment, a woman came outside. She was tall and round, and looked extremely strong.

Behind her were several chambermaids, who looked like they had eyes on top of their heads.

After meeting Shen An, the woman's body and strong aura became more charming, "I have met County Duke Shen."

"It's Feiyan!" Shen An smiled and said, "Why did the saint send you here?"

It turned out to be Feiyan beside the queen?

Queen Gao Taotao has two most trusted female officials beside her, one is named Feiyan and the other is named Zhaojun.

There are many speculations about these two female officers, and they generally think they will be the beauties in the roles.

Feiyan! Zhao Feiyan is rumored to be petite, but this...

Big shoulders and round waist are not enough to describe her figure!

Feiyan is like this, what about Zhaojun?

Everyone couldn't help but feel disgusted, but they didn't dare to offend the female official.

When they saw Feiyan being very polite to Shen An, everyone couldn't help but feel envious.

County Duke Shen is really a good person!

"The saint asked me to come here to buy a mirror."

Feiyan's words made the merchants' previous thoughts disappear.

Still bargaining? If you haggle a little more, maybe the royal family will get it all.

Shen An was also confused at this moment.

The four of them were assigned this fundraising task. Zhao Xu didn't know how to help in the palace, and Shen An didn't expect him to help either. But I didn't expect him to come up with such a move.

If the queen takes action, the value of this mirror will soar immediately.

I just don’t know how Zhao Xu deceived his mother. If he is discovered...

Shen An mourned for Zhao Xu for a second in his heart, and then said with a smile, "If the saint wants it, then it will naturally be given priority."

The businessmen's faces turned pale...
