Maria's words are very direct, completely different from the current Ming people. The current Ming Dynasty all talks about benevolence and righteousness, and buying and selling are not in benevolence and righteousness. Even the firing of squid is the same, the boss of the Ming Dynasty fired the squid of the employee very particular about harmony, and it was through a very tactful way to let the employee take the initiative to resign.

Maria's words were very lethal, which made everyone present stunned, but she didn't expect to be dismounted by Maria on the first day of work. From then on, the people in the garment workshop called Maria "the ghost woman".

……

After several sensational events in Beijing, the reputation of Fengqiuhuang Garment Store has resounded throughout Beizhi, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people, and even beggars know Fengqiuhuang Garment Shop. And fame has spread from the north to the entire empire.

Seven days later, the store reopened, this time with 150 garments. But even one hundred and fifty pieces is still a drop in the bucket. The people who came to buy clothes this time were no longer just the women of Goolan Courtyard, but even the wives and concubines and daughters of Jingshi merchants were also involved.

This time, the team is longer than the last time, and the officials of Jinyiwei and Shuntianfu have also found a pattern, as long as Fengqiuhuang is open for business, a large number of people will definitely be dispatched to maintain order. Every time Fengqiuhuang opens its doors, it not only attracts a large number of women, but also attracts a large number of men to watch. Watching beautiful women is a hobby of many men.

Although there were 150 pieces of clothing this time, Xiaoxiao still only put in 100 people. The small identity is there, no one dares to make a mistake, and the wives and concubines and daughters of these businessmen do not dare to be dissatisfied in the slightest, they will only make up their minds to come to line up early next time.

However, the most seriously injured were those merchants, a piece of clothing cost a hundred taels of silver, and just looking at the clothes felt a pain in the flesh.

"You ruined girl, buy a dress for one hundred taels of silver, my lord, I can't earn a hundred taels a month." The man said angrily.

"Why don't you care about your concubine, she also bought a phoenix dress, she still bought it from someone else, and she can use one hundred and twenty taels." The woman said unconvinced.

"You want to me off!" Hearing the news, the fat on the man's face was shaking, as if he was shaking in pain.

"I've bought everything, you can't go back if you return it, you know, that store is royal." The woman said.

Hearing the man's thunder, the concubine also came out, "Xianggong, we are also for the sake of Xianggong's face, I heard that your opponent Shi Xianggong's concubine also bought one, the next time Xianggong takes the concubine to meet them, their concubines are all wearing phoenix clothes, only your concubines are dressed ordinary, how dare the concubines see them?" When the time comes, even the prime minister will be ridiculed by them. ”

"That's it, I just bought this one, and I also wore it to meet talents, at least the concubine dressed decently, and when you go back to your hometown in the future, your head will be raised a little higher." The woman said.

"Yes, didn't Xianggong say last time that the women of Goolan Courtyard wore dresses like fairies in the sky, Xianggong, how about you see what the concubine wears later?"

Did the wife and concubine cooperate once, and the man had nothing to say when you said a word.

"Forget it, don't take it as an example, my flesh hurts, I'm going to rest." The man walked away without looking back.

The man muttered to himself as he walked, "This is robbery!" That's robbery! ”

……

After all, the tribute is limited, and so is the finest satin fabric. Xiaoxiao decided to accept Marta's suggestion to produce a lower-grade garment for less than a hundred taels. In order to show the difference, the silver line used in the logo of the lower grade of Fengqiu Huang clothes. In the past, the phoenix logo has always been sewn with gold thread.

On March 22, Nurhachi moved his capital to Shenyang and changed his name to Shengjing. And on the same day, the Imperial Commodity Exchange officially opened. In fact, the futures market germinated much earlier than the stock market, as early as the ancient Greek and Roman periods.

This time, Zhu Youxiao overrode public opinion and personally attended the opening ceremony of the commodity exchange. The arrival of Zhu Youxiao greatly increased the confidence of the businessmen present, who at this time had a low status and always lacked a sense of security.

The commodity exchange takes the form of a manual declaration, a bit like the Dutch stock exchange in the 17th century. There are three sections in the whole exchange, the first is the buying information area, the second is the selling information area, and the third is to display the highest price and the lowest price of a certain category yesterday. Of course, commodity exchanges do not support all products, after all, there are many types of commodities, and they cannot support all products, for example, many fresh product exchanges do not support them.

The commodity exchange welcomed hundreds of businessmen on the first day, although Zhu Youxiao explained the rules of the exchange in detail in the newspaper, but for this new thing, many people still have a wait-and-see attitude.

Zhu Youxiao saw that everyone was silent, he decided to place the first order, he hung an order of 5,000 quintals of high-grade raw silk, and the price was according to the current market price. At this time, although there are no industry associations, there are established industry standards.

Zhu Youxiao's order was quickly responded, and there was more than one person who responded, but in order, the first person to respond will get the order, and if the first one can't meet all the orders, the excess order will be deferred to the second person.

Once the transaction is completed, the parties sign the contract with the assistance of the exchange. The form of the contract is in a fixed form, which is provided by the exchange, and the exchange provides a third-party guarantee.

Zhu Youxiao's 5,000 quintals of raw silk were provided by three merchants to complete the order. This order was the first order of the exchange, and Zhu Youxiao decided to sign a contract with these three people in person.

The three of them didn't expect that the first order was Zhu Youxiao's, and when the three of them saw Zhu Youxiao, they were also surprised, and they were honestly afraid. Zhu Youxiao saw that the three of them were very nervous, so he didn't say anything, just encouraged the three of them, and then personally signed a contract with the three of them.

"Don't lose this contract, this is a witness to history, and it will definitely be of great historical significance in the future." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"The grass people understand that the grass people must compromise and keep it as a family heirloom." The three said.

This contract is indeed very meaningful to them, which can be regarded as the royal family's recognition of their raw silk, especially with Zhu Youxiao's autograph and seal on it.

When the three of them decided to go back, they framed the contract and hung it in the hall of their home. That's enough for three people!

When the rest of the raw silk merchants saw their contract, they were really remorseful, and Zhu Youxiao's autograph and seal on this contract alone were worth the cost.
