In this exhibition organized by the Qing Dumb, the painting part was completed by famous artists, including celebrities like Xu Hanlin, Han Xiyi, who attracted the eldest princess of Yuyao, and Yan Duyang, a beautiful young man who was just starting to emerge, and the Fang family's demon and beautiful man who broke a flower of the Wang family, etc., in addition to the inheritance significance, it also contains artistic value, attracting a tide of literati.

The fifth category is the wealthy ladies and noblewomen, who also come for the textile and garment exhibition.

Through these casual publicity, the capital has long been spread: today's exhibition will launch countless beautiful fabrics and costumes from the past and present, not only suitable for nobles to wear, Guo Zhinu's aunt and nephew have also designed many styles suitable for ordinary women to wear, without spending much money, you can dress yourself up beautifully. It is foreseeable that in the future, the sales of cloth and clothing in the capital will be booming, and the main customers are these women.

Of the five categories of people, only the first three entered the front main hall.

The other two categories are scattered in the later exhibition halls.

At the beginning of the year, Emperor Shunchang and the Empress Dowager arrived.

After the crowd shouted and bowed, they entered the main hall according to the rules.

After the expansion and renovation of the temple, the hall is wide and far-reaching, solemn and solemn with a peaceful atmosphere, which is derived from the mural carvings on the four walls: pictures and stories of various good people and good deeds.

There is geothermal heat in the hall, it is very warm, Fang Chu removed the outer cloak for the dumbness, put it on the back of the chair, the two of them sat down, looked around the left and right, and finally looked straight ahead.

Directly in front, the top is raised with an arc-shaped white jade dan pier, on which are placed two openwork rosewood seats, respectively, sitting the Shunchang Emperor and the Empress Dowager; The eldest princess of Jing'an is on the next step.

Under the white jade pill, there are princes and nobles and important ministers of the court.

Below the hall, there are four longitudinal rows of chairs and long tables, each with two chairs behind them, two rows on the left and right, all facing the middle. Qing Mu and Fang Chu are in the first row on the right, followed by Han Xiyi and Xie Yinyue, Xie Tianhu and Xie Yinshi. On the opposite side, the first row on the left is Shen Hanbing and Shen Huaiyu's uncle and nephew, and then down are Yan Weiyang and Yan Duyang's aunt and nephew. Shen Hanqiu sat in the first place in the second column on the left, and Wang Tong, the young owner of Zhenbao Zhai in the capital, was first in the second column on the right.

These seats are pre-arranged and arranged according to family prestige.

There is a small wooden sign on the long table with the name of the owner of this seat written on it.

The Xie family can be ranked first, which is the credit of donating ancestral property before.

After the Empress Dowager sat down, her phoenix eyes swept down, and she saw Yan Duyang sitting next to Yan Weiyang, a handsome and sunny young man with white teeth and red lips, and she was very sorry in her heart, if Wang Ying married him, what a match!

Emperor Shunchang spoke impassionedly first.

Then there is the Empress Dowager, and she will not go into detail one by one.

Then, the day's event began.

The first activity was to raise funds for Fengzhou.

The second activity is market segmentation.

The blended raw materials are mainly silk, cotton and wool, and the great northwest, as an important production area of cotton and wool, will become a raw material market for merchants to compete for. There are a total of 20 prefectures under the jurisdiction of Fengzhou and the surrounding areas, and the emperor decreed that weavers with high donations can give priority to choosing the location of their business.

For example, the Fang family chose Fengzhou Prefecture City and built a workshop in the city, and the Han family and other weavers were not allowed to build workshops in Fengzhou Prefecture, and could only choose other prefectures.

This is very easy to supervise, because the establishment of a business workshop must be filed with the government. After the establishment of the workshop, of course, it is convenient to purchase raw materials locally; If you go to other places to buy raw materials, it will inevitably increase the cost of freight, labor, storage, etc., so this location is very important.

This can be regarded as the court's reward and incentive for business donations.

Xie Yinyue thought, "It's finally started." ”

At this time in the previous life, because of this rare drought in Fengzhou in a century, the imperial court also carried out such a disaster relief activity. At that time, Guo Qingmu had not yet developed blended fabrics, and naturally there was no such textile and garment exhibition. At that time, the imperial court summoned wealthy merchants led by the brocade family to come to Beijing purely to raise donations.

That time, several major brocade families were bled by the imperial court!

Xie Yinyue asked Xie Tianhu to donate the ancestral property of the Xie family before, but he didn't want to make a senseless struggle, so he might as well take the initiative to donate, grasp the opportunity, and leave a good impression on the emperor.

In addition to this, she has several purposes:

First of all, of course, it is to punish and deter the evil clansmen of the Xie clan.

Secondly, it is to seize the raw material market.

She wanted the Xie family to take down the superior area she fancied with an absolute advantage. That place is in Hanzhong Mansion in the southwest of Fengzhou, bordering Minzhou, and belonged to Shu in ancient times. The sloping land there is suitable for planting mulberry trees, and the flat land is suitable for planting cotton, and it is possible to operate both Shu brocade and cotton cloth, and now a blended cloth is added. The transportation there is also convenient, and it is only two or three hundred miles to the north to enter the capital; to the west leads to the Silk Road; To the south, a tributary flows straight into the Han River, and finally joins the upper reaches of the Jingjiang River, and to the east into the Jingjiang River, leading to the sea. In the previous life, this place was obtained by Fang Chu, and later the Xiao Fang clan expanded rapidly.

In the end, she was for the Xie family's word-of-mouth prestige.

The Xie family has suffered repeated disasters, and they have no reputation in Huzhou, so it is better to move to Fengzhou and start over. Donating ancestral property can leave a good impression on the Xie family in the hearts of the people of Fengzhou. After breaking and standing, she is sure that her younger brother will restore the vitality of the Xie family in ten years.

Xie Yinyue groaned, and the fundraising had begun.

The executor of the fundraising is Prince Ren, the younger brother of Ming Yangzi.

He first announced that the Xie family had donated their ancestral property before, and the current donation was the largest, and if no one surpassed the Xie family, Xie Tianhu would get the first opportunity to choose.

Hearing this, Chinese businessmen all set their eyes on Xie Yinyue's sisters and brothers, especially Xie Yinyue.

For Xie Yinyue, the businessmen felt very complicated, the Xie family experienced repeated blows, and she herself was exiled, but she actually carried it all; And before the crisis of the collapse of the clan, he sacrificed gold mines, fought the elders of the clan led by his uncle, pulled out the sisters who came back from the dead, and donated ancestral property to punish the clansmen...... This series of means, they asked themselves that they would not do better than her, so they secretly admired.

Han Xiyi originally had a lot of complaints about Xie Yinyue's donation of the Xie family's ancestral property, but after listening to Prince Ren's words, he couldn't help but look at Xie Yinyue suspiciously—she seemed to have foresight!

But isn't it too wasteful to spend so much?

She wouldn't be so rash, there must be something he didn't know.

Xie Yinyue turned her face and looked at him inquiringly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then calmly turned their eyes away.

Next, it was the turn of the merchants to donate.

After King Nioh announced, Feng Shangshu stood up and asked loudly: "The Xie family has donated all their ancestral property, the Fang family is now the head of the brocade family, Guo Zhinu is not only the daughter-in-law of the Fang family, but also the royal seal weaver girl, the fairy in the hearts of the people, and Xie Yinyue was the same name, how much are you going to donate?" ”

He deliberately moved out of the Xie family Xie Yinyue and squeezed Fang Chu and Qing Due.

All the merchants looked at Qing Mu and Fang Chu nervously.
