As soon as the silver mirror came out, Luoyang City began to rob like crazy.

Glasses shop, because of its variety of goods, is now renamed Zhu Ji Department Store.

Today is the day when Zhu Kee Department Store sells silver mirrors, and early in the morning, there is a long queue in front of the shop.

People lined up with folding fans, sunglasses, and benches. Folding fans and sunglasses are all from here, and they have also become the standard for the outfit.

Now when you go to a night market, you are embarrassed to go out without a folding fan and glasses. Folding fans can be imitated, while sunglasses can only be from Zhu Kee Department Store.

The evil Li Ji taught Zhu Youneng to come to a VIP membership system. Silver mirrors are on sale today, and VIP members of Chu Kee Department Store are preferred.

This is not a simple matter to handle membership, first of all, you need to pay a membership deposit, 1,000 yuan.

Too much? That's it, many people can't do it if they want to.

The VIP membership card is carved from a piece of yellow rosewood with a different number on each card. Members who hold this card to spend can enjoy a 25% discount at department stores.

Zhu Youneng has completely served Li Ji, and this membership card is the only one. They're going to make millions.

A million, what is this concept? Today, the annual income of the imperial treasury is only 20 million yuan.

It is not a lie to be rich enough to rival the country.

Zhu Youneng was frightened, he was really frightened. One million, he spent ten lifetimes, a hundred lifetimes and couldn't finish it.

A million yuan will only rust if you save it, and Li Ji wants to use it to make money.

First of all, the investment in glass greenhouses is a large amount. And then there's the renovation of the palace.

The palace in Luoyang of the Tang Dynasty is really cold, with broken houses and broken corridors. That is, the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace is still the same, after all, in order to ascend the throne of Zhu Wen back then, the Hanyuan Hall was basically built according to the scale of Chang'an City.

Ming'an Hall is much colder, how can others believe it. The Ming'an Palace, which has always been the location of Li Ji's office, is still a stone house.

Today is the day of the sale of silver mirrors, and as soon as the door of Zhu Ji Department Store opened, the crowd poured up.

Wangcai Dog stood in front of the store with his hands on his waist: "What a squeeze!" Who's to blame if you're pregnant? ”

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and the young girl's face turned red, why did this person speak so shamelessly.

If you want to have a face, you are not a loser's dog, Wangcai pointed to the people below: "All line up, on the left is the V, V split member channel, and on the right is the entrance of ordinary customers." My son-in-law said, the person who came is a guest, what about this silver mirror, the price is not expensive 500 wen per side, and there is no compensation for the broken. ”

500 Wen is not a fucking expensive, and the income of an ordinary person working for more than half a year is up.

However, those who came were all rich and expensive figures in Luoyang City, and five hundred Wen was indeed within the scope of their bearing.

"My, my! I'm in front, it's mine! ”

"I came first, this is the money I brought!"

For a while, the front was crowded again.

"What for! How did you do that by treating my words as farts? Wangcai pointed at everyone and said angrily: "Line up, come one by one!" Whoever cuts the queue will get out of the way! ”

The crowd immediately fell silent, and finally people began to wait in line.

Ming'an Palace, Zhu Youneng is here again. This time he came to cry, it was a handful of snot and a handful of tears.

"Brother Li, we have too much money, too much!" Zhu Youneng frowned.

Li Ji looked at him like a nervous person: "Are you funny?" There is a lot of money and trouble. It's just a million times, and I haven't paid attention to it. ”

"It's not this," Zhu Youneng interrupted him: "You don't know, a million runs, seven big rooms." Can't put it down! Brother Li, can you think about it, so many copper coins, this transaction is not convenient. ”

Li Ji had already thought of this, it was indeed inconvenient for Datang to trade only on copper coins and silk cloth, and it was time to launch silver and silver tickets.

Considering the depreciation of the currency, silver tickets cannot be printed more than they want. However, considering that the currency must be depreciated, the silver stamps had to be printed in large prints.

Why, if the currency depreciates, the money in the hands of the feudal towns is worthless. The money in the hands of the vassal king is worthless, what do they use to fight the court?

Of course, this requires a tipping point, and it also takes into account the affordability of ordinary people, and it cannot be depreciated excessively.

Silver is the best store of value.

Silver is born with copper, and the silver ingots in Huangling Mountain have long been piled up into a mountain.

"Alright, I got it. Early Chao I will discuss with the courtiers, Brother Zhu, how is the construction of the glass greenhouse? ”

"I let Zhao Fang, the son of Zhao Zhanguo, the imperial historian, take charge of it, and it looks pretty good so far."

"Well, Brother Zhu, I'm too fucking stumbling in the Ming'an Palace and the Queen Mother's Jishan Palace, don't you say?"

Zhu Youneng didn't understand: "Yes, it's really cold."

"So what should I do?" Li Ji asked.

Zhu Youneng pretended to be confused: "This is not easy to do, why don't Brother Li take out some of your dividends and repair it?"

Li Ji shook his head: "Don't even think about Lao Tzu's money." The idea of the VIP membership system I gave you is good, and the margin alone is a million. According to what we said, you also have a huge fortune of 200,000 yuan. Brother Zhu, don't you mean it? ”

Picking, that's too special. You yourself account for more than 800,000, and you still think about these 200,000.

Of course, Zhu Youneng was not happy: "My brother is settling accounts, the 200,000 yuan is mine, why should I say it."

"Okay," Li Ji seemed to be waiting for this sentence: "This renovation of the palace was invested in your name, and you let me take the money and have to hang your name?" Okay, the investment in the glass greenhouse is none of your business, I'll go find someone else. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Youneng immediately softened, and he grabbed Li Ji: "It's good to talk about it, it's good to talk about it." Whoever we brothers are with whom, isn't it just a Ming'an Palace. Brother, I've got it, do you see enough of 50,000 yuan? Zhu Youneng patted his chest.

Li Ji smiled: "Okay, a word is a certainty!" I took out another 30,000 yuan, focusing on repairing the Jishan Palace, and I can't let people say that I forgot my mother. ”

Zhu Youneng nodded: "This is true, the Queen Mother's Jishan Palace must be overhauled!"

"Alright, I'm going to the early court. Promising, swinging! ”

Hanyuan Palace,

"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to renovate the Jishan Palace and the Ming'an Palace, after all, this matter is about the face of my court. Look at this Ming'an Palace, even a folk kiln is not as good, how can I handle government affairs with peace of mind! ”

This time, the ministers did not object, and everyone nodded yes.

Zhang Wenwei, the head of the household department, stood up and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but this military salary and the resettlement of the displaced people in Beicheng require a lot of expenses, and the household department is willing to allocate 3,000 copper coins to repair the Queen Mother's Jishan Palace and Ming'an Palace."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were boiling, and these three thousand guan were not a little less.

Li Jiqiang held back the anger in his heart: "Zhang Wenwei, what I am cultivating is Jishan Palace and Ming'an Palace, not mountains and thatched houses!" What can Sanchikan do! ”

Zhang Wenwei arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the resettlement of this homeless person still needs a huge amount of money, and the military salary is indispensable, and the household department really can't come up with too much money."

If there is no money, there will be ghosts, and Li Ji personally flipped through the archives of the transfer department. There is still money left, Zhang Wenwei is a big deal, when he resettles the homeless, and when he asks him for money to repair the palace, he starts to cry poor again.

"Forget it, I know that asking you for money is almost the same as asking for your life."

Zhang Wenwei interrupted him and said without blushing: "Your Majesty, it's more powerful than asking for the life of the old minister."

"You!" Li Ji wanted to be angry, but after thinking about it, he sighed again: "Okay, I don't need a penny from the court to repair the palace, and the second son of Zhu of the Guangwang Mansion is willing to pay 80,000 copper coins!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked again, 80,000 yuan, Zhu Youneng robbed the treasury here?

You must know that all the officials in the entire capital add up, and there are not 80,000 yuan a year.

I all know that the loser has made a fortune, but I didn't expect him to be so rich.

In fact, not all of the members' 1 million deposits are earned, but they are just members' deposits. If you want to withdraw from the membership, the money must be refunded to others.

But Zhu Ji Department Store is full of wind and water, and there are all kinds of glass products. Others can't wait to join the membership, who is willing to quit.

This million guan deposit is left only rusty, not very spent.

However, 80,000 Guan still shocked everyone, and even Zhang Wenwei, the household servant, opened his eyes in horror. 80,000 yuan, this loser is really a big deal.

"Your Majesty, that Zhu You can be so generous and willing to relieve the worries of the imperial court. The minister thinks that a decree should be issued to show praise! Dugu stood up and said.

Li Ji waved his hand: "No, this guy repaired the palace for the imperial court, I gave him face, what reward do you want, let him stay aside."

Everyone was shocked again, and people kindly took money to repair the palace. Why do you still seem to owe you money, but everyone knows that Li Ji and Zhu You can get along, and no one comes out to say anything.

At this time, it was the height of summer, and I knew that there was no stop making noise outside the hall. Although the Hanyuan Hall is ventilated in all directions, the heat is still unbearable.

"Come on, watermelon!" Li Ji shouted.

At this time, a team of guards came to Hanyuan Hall with a watermelon, and Fuquan took a cutter to cut the watermelon, and a fragrance came to his nose.

Watermelon is not available in Datang. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that there was a record of watermelons.

The ministers looked at this red and strange thing, and they didn't know what it was.

"Come, come, Aiqing. This is a watermelon, quenching the heat and thirst. It is to persuade the farmers to make Han E cultivate overseas things in the new crop base, and the Aiqing can taste them. However, you can't eat these watermelon seeds, so you have to keep them for me to dry and plant them in the spring next year. ”

The watermelon that Li Ji said, because the ministers had seen corn before, were not overly surprised.

"Your Majesty, is this a fruit?" Prime Minister Kong Lin asked.

Li Ji nodded: "This thing is the most thirst-quenching, comparable to melon, and the taste is better than melon."

Fuquan cut the watermelon into several pieces, and the right palace maid gave each courtier a piece.

The ministers smelled the fragrance of this thing, and gently took a bite of the sweet and juicy, and the heat in the body seemed to be swept away, and they were all happy.

"Good!"

"Well, it's delicious! It's really weird. ”

A small watermelon can amaze the ministers. Datang, there is still a long way to go in the future.

Jishan Palace, generally come to Fuquan. Since Fuquan was beaten by the Empress Dowager He, leaving a shadow, he didn't dare to come again, so he begged Li Ji to let Youwei come.

Youwei is also respectful, but he is much more sleek than Fuquan. These two goods are not lightly used to by Li Ji, and Li Ji is very angry and doesn't care about these etiquette rules. Empress Dowager He can't do it, she has no rules and no circle, and she doesn't dare to take a breath because of her ambience.

"You mean it was sent by the Emperor?" Empress Dowager He finally spoke.

Youwei bowed and nodded: "Hui Yu Queen Mother, yes." This is to persuade the peasant envoy Han E to plant in the Yongye field of the Guangwangfu's house, and the name of this thing is watermelon. Sweet and delicious, quenching heat and thirst, this is the top grade. ”

"Watermelon?" Naturally, Empress Dowager He had never heard of this thing.

"Yes, the Queen Mother, this is also a breed introduced from overseas. His Majesty was concerned about the Queen Mother, so he sent slaves and maids to send her over first. ”

"Well, the emperor is also filial. That being the case, Ah Qiu, take a knife and cut this thing. The maid Ah Qiu went back to the inner room and took a cutter, and looked awkwardly at the round green object, looking left and right, and couldn't start.

Youwei stepped forward and took the knife: "It's still a slave."

The watermelon is sliced open and the juice is overflowing. Empress Dowager He was surprised to find that the melon was so bright red.

Smelling the fragrance, Empress Dowager He smiled and nodded: "Why is this thing called watermelon, it should be called red melon or green melon."

Youwei patted his ass: "Queen Mother Shengming, I want to come here because it is an overseas thing." The sowing man did not know the cause, so he thought it was the thing of the Western Regions. The Queen Mother, please taste it, the red flesh is edible. ”

Empress Dowager He took a piece of watermelon, took a bite gently, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Ah Qiu, you can also have a piece."

"Yes." Ah Qiu bowed cautiously, took a small bite and ate it.

"The Queen Mother beware, the melon seeds need to be kept."

This watermelon is really sweet and relieves the heat, and it can't help but eat it. Empress Dowager He was impatient to eat, took a sip, swallowed a watermelon seed, and then was startled: "What, this seed is poisonous?"

Youwei wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, bowed his head and said: "That's not it, Your Majesty said that this melon seed is rare, and you need to keep it for next year."

Empress Dowager He was a little embarrassed because of her eagerness just now: "I know, I know."

Hanyuan Hall is also, the ministers tasted this hard-won watermelon, and praised it one after another.

It's a pity that there are too few watermelons to be sold in the market, otherwise they will make a lot of money.

But this year, the seeds of these watermelons will be bumper when they are planted next year.

No, after the glass greenhouse is built, you can harvest watermelons in winter.

Since the repair of the palace was handed over to Zhu Youneng, the household department saved a sum of money for no reason. Zhang Wenwei was happy in his heart, as long as it wasn't the money in the treasury, he couldn't care about it.

The treasury is all the taxes that are actually collected, as well as the tribute paid by the vassal kings in various places, these are all the people's fat and people's anointment. Zhang Wenwei knew very well in his heart that these taxes would be paid by many ordinary people in exchange for a drop of blood and sweat.

It's not that Zhang Wenwei is stingy, good steel is used on the blade. The money and grain in the treasury were used for the expenses of the imperial court and the soldiers on the front line, not for the emperor to squander and waste.

Although it is reasonable to repair the palace, but at present, the feudal town is eyeing the tiger, and there are more places to use money, so it is necessary to save some flowers.
