Chapter 53: Inducement

Zhang Wenyi walked through the weeping flower gate under the guidance of the maid and walked inside. As he was walking, he only felt a flower in front of him, and saw Xiao Ying standing in front of him angrily.

"Wen Jiu'er, are you embarrassed to come!"

Facing the angry Xiao Ying, Zhang Wenyi hurriedly walked up and gently pulled her sleeve. said quietly: "Sister Xiao, let's go into the house and talk about something, okay." ”

Although Zhang Wenyi didn't come at the child's 100-day banquet, the gift also arrived. And later, she asked people to make amends, but she even threw the gift out of the Guogong Mansion.

These days have been somewhat calmer, and seeing Zhang Wenyi whispering in front of the public, this anger has also disappeared a lot. didn't bother Zhang Wenyi to turn around and leave, Zhang Wenyi thanked the maid and followed with two palace maids.

The two palace maids looked at each other behind Zhang Wenyi, Mrs. Shizi was so powerful. It's just that our princess is a little too weak.

When the two came to the inner room, Xiao Ying turned around and asked, "You girl has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, why are you here today?" ”

Zhang Wenyi comforted Xiao Ying to sit down first, and then said, "I'm here to compensate my sister today."

Xiao Ying reached out and pinched Zhang Wenyi's cheek, and said, "The little girl can't help it, tell me what you've been doing lately." ”

Zhang Wenyi smiled: "What else can I do, I can't teach my son, my husband!" ”

Xiao Ying laughed out loud and said, "Look at you, you're not ashamed, you have always been mysterious lately." Honestly, what are they doing. ”

Zhang Wenyi said quietly: "I'm opening a store." ”

Xiao Ying was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "What are you doing if you have nothing to do, then you might as well embroider at home." This has shown Your Majesty how you handle yourself! Listening to my sister's words, I quickly closed the store. ”

Zhang Wenyi listened to Xiao Ying's persuasion, and was very moved in her heart, she said: "Sister Xiao, don't worry, my father agrees to this matter." ”

As soon as Zhang Wenyi said this, it was Xiao Ying's turn to be speechless. She frowned and said, "How can Your Majesty be like this!" ”

Zhang Wenyi said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about what kind of clothes my sister wants to make?" ”

Xiao Ying was stunned: "What kind of clothes?" Then she suddenly said: "You opened that Qiushui Yiren's shop?" ”

Zhang Wenyi smiled: "Otherwise, how would I know that my sister is going to make new clothes." ”

Xiao Ying nodded Zhang Wenyi's forehead and said, "Clever ghost, tell me if there is any idea for my sister not to be ashamed." ”

Zhang Wenyi glanced at the dressing table in Xiao Ying's room and took an eyebrow pencil from it. Then a style was sketched on the paper, some are wide and graceful, some are fit and slim, some are mediocre and pretty, and some are strange and smart.

Xiao Ying wanted to see it, but unfortunately the time was tight and she could only choose one of them, so she chose a fit and slim style. But I wanted to add other elements, the most important thing was that it was a banquet hosted by Xiao Ying's mother-in-law that day, and it couldn't steal the limelight from the old lady, and the two discussed it for almost a day before the final style was determined.

After measuring Xiao Ying's size, he found a problem. Due to having given birth to a child, Xiao Ying's breasts are obviously sagging, and her abdomen is also a little large, and it is actually difficult to achieve the desired effect if she wears a slim dress.

Fortunately, Zhang Wenyi traveled from the modern era, she had never been married and had children in her previous life, but she still knew that there was such a thing as shapewear. Thinking that he would have children in the future, there might be a need to maintain this body shape, Zhang Wenyi decided to develop this kind of underwear.

This woman can do everything she can for beauty, let alone make underwear. Zhang Wenyi wrote down the material and size for the people in the palace to cut, while she concentrated on developing underwear.

For several days, Zhang Wenyi would invite Xiao Ying into the palace to wear underwear. After dozens of failures, I finally chose a shapewear made of silk. tried a few slim dresses through underwear shaping, and the unexpected effect made Xiao Ying very happy.

It's just that it doesn't hurt to wear these dresses by hiding at home, if you wear them out, they will inevitably be talked about and immoral. Xiao Ying made a few suggestions for improvement, so that she could not only show her figure but also wear it outside.

Zhang Wenyi tried to change it, but it turned out to be nondescript. Zhang Wenyi thought about it and felt that it was a change in the form of clothing that caused a change in style, and the fabrics and accessories also needed to be changed, otherwise it would not be embarrassing or embarrassing.

After some modifications, the effect is very good. At this time, Xiao Ying's dress was also cut, and Zhang Wenyi sewed it by herself. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were out of the limelight at the banquet that day, Xiao Ying's dress was sought after by young women, and many people went home to let their embroiderers sew it, but they couldn't wear it like Xiao Ying.

Ms. Aimei naturally will not let Xiao Ying go, and Xiao Ying also intends to help Zhang Wenyi. Naturally, it was deliberately publicized that the Qiushui Yiren Clothing Workshop was full of people for a while, and the vast majority of the ladies who came were noblewomen in the capital.

Fortunately, since Xiao Ying came, Zhang Wenyi found that she had missed one thing, forgetting that she couldn't leave the palace and didn't prepare someone for the store who could do design. This is very fatal for a clothing shop that takes the route of personalized boutiques.

Therefore, a few women from official eunuch families with a foundation in painting were urgently selected from the Yeting Palace for emergency training, and finally so that they could cope with the general situation before the influx of people.

One of these girls is named Murong Qiu, whose father was originally a servant of the ministry, so many noblewomen know her and know that she was punished to the palace for her father's crime. People who can use the palace have a deep background.

It is the legend of the Qiushui Yiren that has gradually been spread, and the Pingzhuan Administration also knows that this is a store with a deep background, and it is because of the price of the Qiushui Yiren's finished clothes worth hundreds of guan, and the customized price is as high as hundreds or even thousands of guan, and the Pingzhuan Department is also turning a blind eye.

Compared with Zhang Wenyi's side, Li Zhi's side is a big fortune. After getting hints from relevant people in the official mansion, the Chinese people in Yaxing knew that this young and handsome man was His Royal Highness the King of Jin. They fully demonstrated their talents, and sold all kinds of fertile land to Li Zhi at a price cheaper than sandy land. Then Li Zhi sold it at a price higher than the market price, and effortlessly made tens of thousands of dollars from it.

It took about a year for the King of Jin and his wife to use less than 2,000 taels of silver as the capital and earned a profit of 70,000 yuan. Li Shimin's ability to make money for King Jin and his wife can no longer be described as surprised, and he was completely shocked.

At this time, the family wealth was already at the level of a rich man, and the Jin King and his wife had 70,000 yuan a year, which made Li Shimin have a new evaluation of the wealthy family's earning ability.

He can understand that King Jin and his wife will receive great preferential treatment after their identities are exposed, but who in a wealthy family does not have such privileges! Maybe their profitability is not so strong, but it only took a year for King Jin and his wife to get involved in only two industries. And those wealthy families can get involved in more industries, and they have a longer history.

This also strengthened Li Shimin's determination to replace the prince and collect commercial taxes, and how to weaken the power of the wealthy family was also put on Li Shimin's agenda.

In a court meeting, there was a royal history that put forward the matter of the princess of Jin in business, and the imperial historian used nearly 1,000 words to describe the bad impact that the princess of Jin's move would cause, and at the same time asked the emperor to punish the princess of Jin and strictly control the members of the royal family from now on, and stop doing such a shameful thing.

The twists and turns of this imperial historian have been responded to by many ministers, and there are many clear rumors and quotations from the classics, and there is a great tendency to not give up until the princess of Jin is brought to justice. The royal family is rich all over the world, and the rhetoric that it should not compete with the people for profit is in the dust.

During this process, the emperor remained silent, and the civil officials thought that he had been caught. This is a rare situation for civil officials in the emperor's previous disputes, and naturally they are inevitably triumphant.

Looking at the ugliness of these civil officials, Li Shimin waited for them to finish. sneered: "You have been talking for so long and have neglected one thing. Princess Jin did not go out of the palace to participate in the operation, she only funded the opening of a shop. If this is also a royal business, then she understands that there are forty-four shops around her, of which nine are funded by nine ministers, and thirty-one belong to six families. Should you explain this to me? ”

The civil officials, who were triumphant just now, were all dumbfounded at this time. These are the chores of each family, and they naturally know each other under the same roof. Although it was later known that this clothing shop was the property of Princess Jin, everyone stayed away. But no one would have thought that Princess Jin would know so much in such a short period of time.

Li Shimin stood up and asked in a loud voice: "I want to ask you, you say that I am rich all over the world, so I want to ask how rich this rich world is?" Ten million, twenty million? ”

Looking at a group of speechless officials, Li Shimin sneered: "You asked me not to compete with the people for profit, so who will tell me who this 'people' is, you or the people?" ”

Obviously, the civil officials did not expect Li Shimin to cut to the essence so bluntly, and these civil officials like to find arguments from books first, and then tactfully put forward their own views. However, Li Shimin did not play his cards according to common sense at all today, and directly asked very practical and specific questions.

In other words, they can tell how rich the rich people are, and the ancient literati are not modern scholars, at least they can add, subtract, multiply and divide. At this time, the officials will not be able to calculate the vast majority, and if you ask them to do nine times nine, they will not be able to do it in modern elementary school students.

So most of the numbers we see in ancient texts today are not specific values, but descriptions. For example, tens and tens represent orders of magnitude within a hundred, tens may be less, and tens represent more, rather than the number ten we now understand means a number of more than ten and less than twenty, and dozens generally refers to a number between twenty and fifty.

In fact, these officials in ancient times were not as sensitive to the practical use of numbers as they were even compared to women in ancient times, especially those housewives who had learned or were good at presiding over feeding. This habit is still reflected in modern times, such as the fact that it is almost a woman's nature to bargain, while men are very slow.
