"Elder Li Ge, don't be rash." Han Yi said anxiously.

"Elder Li Ge, I am at the time of employing people, and I ask Elder Ge to think twice about this matter." Zhu Youxiao also persuaded him.

"Your Majesty, the minister's physical condition has deteriorated in recent years, and he has long had the intention of retreating, and I ask Your Majesty to allow him to play." Li Zongyan insisted. It is also true that Li Zongyan's body is inferior to others.

"Elder Li Ge, you go back, and this matter will be discussed later." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said.

……

The next day, Li Zongyan resigned again. Zhu Youxiao decided to agree to Li Zongyan's request and gave him the post of crown prince.

With Li Zongyan's resignation, Zhu Youxiao took the opportunity to decide to expand the cabinet to five members, and Zhu Youxiao's reason was that "if there is an indecisive matter, it can be decided by voting, and the principle of the minority obeying the majority is followed." Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to expand to seven people, but considering a series of reasons, he finally decided to expand to five people first.

This time, after consulting with the cabinet, Lin Yaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were promoted to the cabinet. This is also the result of consultation and compromise, Lin Yaoyu belongs to the non-party personage, while Qiao Yunsheng belongs to the Donglin Party.

At the same time, Xue Sansheng succeeded as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yangzheng succeeded as the secretary of the Criminal Department, Xue Sansheng also belonged to non-party personages, but Li Yangzheng belonged to the eunuch party.

……

On the first day of March, the small Fengqiuhuang ready-to-wear store officially opened. Half a month before the opening, Zhu Youxiao paid for an advertisement in the "Daming Imperial Daily", and emphasized in the advertisement that he would invite the popular Oiran of Beijing to display ready-to-wear clothes on the opening day.

Jingshi is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the commerce is extremely developed, according to the statistics at that time, there are more than 45,000 shops in Jingshi alone, and the number of shops even exceeds the number of farmers under the jurisdiction of the local yamen in Beijing. If there is no advertising, Zhu Youxiao is really afraid that the small ready-to-wear store will be submerged in this huge number of shops.

The signboard of the Fengqiuhuang Garment Store was inscribed by Dong Qichang himself, but the logo was painted by Zhu Youxiao. The location of the store is also the best location in Kyoshi, and the area is also very large.

Zhu Youxiao did not attend on the opening day, mainly because of this clothing store, and during this period, Zhu Youxiao was really inconvenient to attend.

Although Zhu Youxiao did not attend, Xiaoxiao held a ready-to-wear display at the opening ceremony according to Zhu Youxiao's proposal, that is, a model show. In the circle of Jingshi Goolan Academy, everyone knows that Xiaoxiao was brought into the palace by Zhu Youxiao and soared into the sky, but I don't know why Xiaoxiao came out of the palace again, and also opened a clothing store.

But everyone knows one thing, Xiaoxiao and Zhu Youxiao still have a relationship. Now that he can advertise in the "Ming Imperial Daily", only Zhu Youxiao has such power. So when Xiaoxiao invited a model, almost no one refused, and some people even took the initiative to come to the door to seek to be a model.

This kind of model show is the first in the world, and the people who are invited to serve as models are all famous in Beijing. The opening ceremony of the day can definitely be said to be a sea of people. Even the Jinyi Guards and the officials of the Shuntian Mansion also dispatched manpower to maintain order at the scene.

After the official start of the adult garment show, the atmosphere reached a climax, with screams, whistles, and shouts endlessly. Each model has their own fans, and this ready-to-wear show is no less than an Oiran competition.

"This ...... This is really immoral, and the imperial court should prohibit it. An old pedant said in the crowd.

"Old man, you can leave without looking!" Hearing this, the guy next to him was not happy, you must know that these women in the booth are legends to him, and at most he can only have the opportunity to see them once in the Oiran competition.

"Yes, I heard that Nanzhi has a 'flower list' every year, and its grand occasion should be no less than this." Someone immediately chimed in.

"It should be said that each has its own merits." Someone immediately said.

"Alas, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient!" After the old pedant finished speaking, he changed his position and continued to stay at the scene to watch the ready-to-wear display.

……

The entire opening ceremony was only half an hour away, but many people at the scene were still unsatisfied. Xiaoxiao didn't expect that a ready-to-wear display event would attract so many people to watch, if it weren't for the brocade guards guarding the door of the clothing store, Xiaoxiao believed that people watching the excitement outside would dare to rush in.

"It seems that the crowd outside will not disperse for a while, and please rest in the small shop for a while, and wait for the crowd to disperse before leaving." Xiao Xiao said politely.

"Okay, let's rest here for a while." It was last year's Oiran Li Meiniang who spoke.

"Xiaoxiao, why are your clothes here so special?" Someone asked.

"Xiaoxiao, are the clothes you have here often worn by people in the palace, what kind of dress did the emperor design?" Li Meiniang asked.

"That's the dress." Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

"Xiaoxiao, tell us about the emperor, we haven't seen the emperor yet." Someone whispered.

"Bright, mighty, huh...... Anyway, he is a good emperor, the master of Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty. Xiaoxiao doesn't know how to describe Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao is absolutely perfect in his little care.

After listening to the little words, everyone smiled, and looking at the little expression, everyone knew it.

"Wow, why is this dress so expensive?" Someone exclaimed. It turned out that some people went to the second floor when they had nothing to do, the second floor is the exhibition hall for clothes, and most of the first floor is temporarily idle, and Zhu Youxiao's arrangement is to sell some Westerners to use rouge gouache and other things in the future.

The clothes on the second floor are priced, which is also Zhu Youxiao's proposal, and the real price is clear. And the price of clothes is not low, and the cheapest ones are dozens or even hundreds of times more expensive than ready-to-wear clothes on the market. Xiaoxiao didn't understand Zhu Youxiao's proposal, but she still did it. Of course, Zhu Youxiao also gave her an explanation, there are many people in this world who only sell expensive ones, and expensive ones are status symbols.

Hearing the sound upstairs, the people downstairs couldn't help but go up, and seeing the price of clothes, it was indeed a bit painful.

"What's all the fuss about, the material of the clothes you just wore is the best Yunjin." Wang Meiniang said.

"Xiaoxiao, the materials of your clothes here won't all be tribute, right?" Someone asked softly.

"Partly yes." Xiao nodded and said.

"Which are the tributes? I haven't seen the tribute yet. ”

"Every piece of clothing here is made of a part of the material that is a tribute." Xiaoxiao said.
