Chapter 8 "Heartbreak"
This kind of shock far exceeds the glassware I saw before, you know, these glasswares are extremely rare, most of the people present are unseen, some people, there will be a few at home, but, compared with Lingnan, it is still a little worse.
Liu Xi stood on the high platform and saw that everyone was shocked, so he continued: "This mirror, specially made by my Nanling Mansion City, is made of colored glass, and after some special treatment, its effect is far greater than those bronze mirrors you have seen. ”
"This human-shaped mirror is the largest in my Lingnan City, and it is worth a thousand taels of silver."
"In addition, there are more than one meter high, more than two meters high, and there are palm sizes, and the price ranges from a few hundred yuan to dozens of yuan, and then to one or two yuan."
A human-shaped mirror worth thousands of taels of silver is sky-high in the eyes of most people, but in front of these small human-shaped mirrors, it is worthless.
As for the merchants in the back, Lingnan Mansion has prepared mirrors of different sizes and shapes for them, which means that they can produce different kinds of mirrors according to their needs, which is a good sales channel.
There were aristocrats, aristocrats, aristocrats, merchants, and merchants, and their eyes became hot.
"That bastard, not only gave me a few mirrors, but also brought so many things to Beijing, just to give me three seeds? That bastard! In the VIP room, Emperor Qian shouted angrily.
"What we're going to introduce next is something called soap, it's a very clean thing, like a soap, you can try it." Liu Lin waved his hand, and a team of maids carried the water on their cheeks and the fat fat meat, and walked through the crowd.
Everyone followed the example of the maid and washed their hands with soap, and then let out an exclamation.
"What a powerful cleaning power!"
Liu Lin on the high platform said: "This thing can wash your face, wash your face, take a bath, wash your hair, wash your clothes, and only sell a hundred copper plates." “
When Liu Lin shouted, the audience sighed and felt a little unworthy.
You must know that the soap produced by the Chinese medicine Wang Fang in Beijing is at most the price of two taels of silver, and it is generally sold to dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and it will take a while to buy it.
It's far more powerful than that thing, and it only needs a hundred copper plates.
"Also, the wine brewed by my Lingnan County Guard, there are 'general drunk', 'Taibai drunk', and 'princess drunk'." Liu Xi continued.
After speaking, a group of maids walked to each table and put three wine jugs, on which were written the three big characters "General is drunk", "Taibai is drunk", and "Concubine is drunk".
According to what the maid said, everyone drank one cup first, then Taibai, and then three more cups, and then finished drinking.
Three fine wines, one stronger than one, all of them sent out a wine that had never been so rich before.
Compared with the previous wines, the current wines are like boiled water, tasteless.
Even the lightest champagne is much better than the good wines that money can't buy.
In the audience, there were Wenchen and Wuchen, Wenchen preferred to drink Taibai, and Wuchen preferred to drink the general.
And the drunken concubine, he believed that his wife and daughter would like her more.
The merchants present felt that there must be some powerful person in this city, whether it was this mirror or this bottle of wine, which could meet everyone's needs, and could meet everyone's needs!
With the help of this glass of wine, the atmosphere at the scene is getting hotter and hotter, and many people are encouraging Liu Xi to continue the auction.
Nowadays, everyone is full of expectations for the goods of the Lingnan Mansion, and looks forward to more good goods to open everyone's eyes.
Next, Liu Xi did not disappoint them, and showed more than a dozen items they had never heard of one by one in one go.
At this time, who still doesn't know that this city lord's mansion has a lot of money. With so many rare treasures, this Lingnan Mansion City is afraid to make a fortune!
"I want to extend my sincere greetings to you on behalf of King An, and I hope you will have business dealings with our Lingnan Mansion, I think our Lingnan Mansion will achieve a win-win situation with you!"
"The best of both worlds? It's a good 'good' word, it seems that this Lingnan City really has to go to it. ”
This is a question in the minds of many people in the audience.
Just as Li Su thought, the results of the exhibition were very good.
At the beginning of the exhibition, many dignitaries came to Liu Lin, saying that they would keep a copy of their own goods, so as not to buy them in the future.
There were also many vendors who came to Liu Ji and asked him if he could help him do some business, or do some business.
Liu Lin was also very handy in dealing with this group of people, which made them very pleased.
As for Li Su, he didn't show up from beginning to end, and he had seen too much in the past three years for things like this that made everyone stunned again and again, and he had long lost any interest.
Sure enough, in this three-day exhibition, Qing'an Building was crowded with people, and people in the capital loved to watch the excitement.
In addition, this time, they had never even heard of it, so it also attracted a lot of people.
Throughout the capital, all the merchants are thinking about what kind of benefits will be brought to them by transporting this batch of goods to Lingnan.
And the things displayed on the upstairs in Qing'an were swept away by the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in the capital.
In particular, this bronze mirror, which can reflect his appearance, is very popular with women, and there are few such bronze mirrors.
There were once two daughters of viscountesses, because they fought over a fist-sized mirror, they fought in the street, and were finally stopped by a marquis's wife, and this matter spread in the capital.
The fine wine produced in Lingnan Mansion was basically bought by the dignitaries in the capital, and occasionally some fell into the hands of ordinary merchants, but these merchants were quietly hidden.
Xu Anyan, a famous Confucian in Beijing, wrote ten poems for the bottle of Taibai on the spot at a private banquet held by Zhang Yuan, the son of a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, because Zhang Yuan stole a bottle of Taibai wine from his father.
As for the fact that Zhang Yuan was later beaten in mid-air by his father Zhang Lian, that was later.
According to the estimation of discerning people, An Wang earned 200,000 taels from this auction in Lingnan Mansion City alone.
When this number was announced, everyone in the capital was amazed at the financial resources of His Royal Highness King An.
No wonder the Lingnan Mansion army is wealthy, no wonder King An can support such a group of iron horsemen, it is really wealthy.
You must know that the annual tax payment of Daqian is only one million taels, and if you can sell more, you will really make a fortune.
Emperor Qian was even more jealous, and the information he heard was more accurate, Li Su not only gave things 200,000 taels of silver, but also gave things 273,000 taels of silver.
How could he know all about these things? It's not because of Li Su's mother, that is, his mother, that is, his mother, that is, his mother.
Because he noticed the changes in Li Su, Emperor Qiandi often went to Concubine Liu these days to ask about Li Su's childhood, so as to compensate for his shortcomings in childhood.
In the palace, anything that happens will be known by the maids, maids, and eunuchs in the palace, and Emperor Qiandi has been visiting Concubine Liu during this time, which is why she has been favored by the emperor.
Therefore, Concubine Liu's life in the apse is also much better, even if she is the queen's mother, she can live easily.
They called her "Little Sister" and "Little Sister".
Li Sujun was ridiculed by other concubines before, and some thought that they had offended her concubines, and some people wanted to get closer to her.
In the past, the palace attendants who were in charge of managing the charcoal also taught her according to their aptitude, and the charcoal sent to her was usually cut and divided by the powerful concubines, but now, the charcoal she has here is endless.
In this harem, the mother depends on the son, the mother depends on the son, the mother depends on the son, and the mother depends on the son.
In the past, Li Su was just a waste, and everyone wanted to suppress Concubine Liu, but now, everyone understands that Li Su will definitely ascend to the sky in one step, so Concubine Liu's status will also be improved.
At this time, Concubine Liu was like a small Lingnan Expo, a huge mirror image more than one person high, with only three pieces, one of which stood in front of Concubine Liu.
A piece of soap is rare, and now, in a corner of her bedroom, there is a whole box of soap, even if it is the maid and the little maid next to her, there is also a piece of soap per person.
Lingnan liquor is generally sold in bottles, and a bottle is only one or two at most, but in this tavern, there are ten large wine vats, each of which is ten kilograms.
Even the utensils used to make tea in her palace were bought, and these utensils were placed outside, at least a thousand taels of silver.
Of course, all this was done by Li Su, just to make his mother suffer and make his mother live better.
Three years ago, Concubine Liu borrowed 4,000 taels of silver from her mother's family and asked her father to take Li Su to her fiefdom, but now, Li Su handed over 300,000 taels of silver to Concubine Liu.
Emperor Qian looked at this scene, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"The unsuccessful son didn't bring me anything, so I got a jar of wine.
Isn't it ten? ”
Concubine Liu had been in the palace for many years, and she knew very well that Emperor Qian was jealous of her.
However, Concubine Liu still hated Emperor Qian, Li Su was indeed a big carrot at the beginning, but Emperor Qiandi showed no mercy, and directly sent Li Su to Lingnan, a place where birds don't, and he left for three years.
Besides, when Li Su left, he was penniless, and he still borrowed money from him to give Li Su a decent fief, why didn't Emperor Qiandi give him more bounties?
Therefore, in the past three years, Concubine Liu's attitude towards Emperor Qian has not been good.
Now that Li Su has returned, and she has performed so well, most of the resentment in Concubine Liu's heart has disappeared, but she feels a little relieved, which is why she is so generous, and she also wants to leave a good image for Li Su.
Concubine Liu smiled and said, "Your Highness, just now Su'er gave me a piece of the pie, and asked Your Highness to bring back some of those spirits and soap, so that the slaves and maids would not let people take them anymore, which can be regarded as a good thing for Your Highness." ”
"In that case, I'll order someone to get you some back." Emperor Qian said proudly.
Concubine Liu secretly gave him a big roll of his eyes.
"The emperor has a lot of opportunities, three years ago, I was only fourteen years old, and now I am seventeen years old, and I haven't married yet, do I want to let me be alone for the rest of my life?" Concubine Liu saw that Emperor Qian's marriage was at a loss, and couldn't help but remind her.
Emperor Qian suddenly realized, and only then did he know what had happened when he first met Li Su.
"Oh, I was careless, I'll let people prepare a marriage contract for Su'er."
As for the affairs of the harem, you will choose a gentle and virtuous one for Su'er. “
This is also his fault, originally three years ago, he planned to send Li Su back to the border after he got married, but because he didn't say it, the civil and military officials thought that the emperor was unwilling, so they didn't say anything.
Li Su, in the entire Daqian, he is the only one, who can be seventeen years old, has not yet married, and is still a prince.
The selection order of the six princes of Daqian and King An quickly spread in the imperial city.
Li Su got the news and was listening to the singing outside.
Yes, go to the brothel, go to the songs.
With Li Su's efforts, the Lingnan Mansion has begun to take shape, but in some industries, it is still far from meeting the standards of the capital.
It's like the entertainment industry.
Lingnan is just a small town of half a million people, and over the years, the population has been growing, but over time, more and more cities have been used to develop industry rather than production industry.
Therefore, it is difficult to have any fun places in Lingnan Prefecture.
Moreover, due to the topography, most of the women there are dark-skinned and petite, and it is difficult to see beautiful women.
Li Su has been in the capital for so many years, and now that he can finally return to Beijing, of course he wants to re-experience the feeling of being gentle in the countryside.
If he can, he hopes that before leaving, he can take some brothels and goulan to Lingnan Prefecture for development, which can not only drive the local entertainment industry, but also promote the development of other industries in his territory.
Therefore, Li Su handed over the errand of attracting investment in the capital to Wang Fu Liuxi, and he came to the tavern called "Rouge Pavilion" under the guise of coming to Beijing to inspect the development of cultural and entertainment undertakings.
As soon as Emperor Qian's decision to choose a wife for King An came out, all the dignitaries and nobles in the capital who had the right to recommend their daughters began to move.
During this time, each family will spend a lot of money and want to paint their own artists with a smile.
She married King An.
They all know that King An is a well-deserved "gold master", and if he can become King An's father-in-law or brother-in-law, it will be a huge amount of money, enough to support a family.
If you can monopolize one of the things displayed at these exhibitions, it will be a huge profit.
And after the minister who selected the concubines for King An presented a stack of photos of the selected palace maids to Emperor Qian, Emperor Qian was also surprised.
Just like choosing an heir to the throne for the heir to the throne, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles who are willing to marry their little girl to Li Su.
"It seems that I can give Concubine Liu an explanation." Emperor Qian muttered to himself.
Concubine Liu's residence.
At this moment, Concubine Liu was commenting on one photo after another, while Li Su lowered her head and looked loveless.
"You see, this is Liu Shilang's daughter, who is only fourteen this year, and is a well-informed girl, I saw it the year before last, and that girl is much more beautiful than the girl in this picture."
"This is the sister of the great Confucian Confucius, who is full of poetry and songs, but a descendant of Confucius, sixteen years old this year, and you are the right person."
"This is our Mu family, if you say something bad, if you say something bad, that's your cousin, you've known him since you were a child, if you want to pick him, your grandfather will be very happy."
Concubine Liu said as she handed the paintings to Li Su.
But Li Su had an indifferent expression, in this world, everything is beautiful, but in this world, everything is blind, he has not seen a woman yet, which makes him feel like he is opening a blind man's box.
As a future traveler, Li Su naturally wants to have more contact with him and then get married.
What's more, he is only seventeen now, and he can still grow taller.
Learn more from the girls on the flower boat and practice more, which will also be beneficial to your future lifelong events.
Otherwise, after she gets married, she won't be allowed to listen to music secretly when she arrives at the brothel?
"Should I flee to my own territory?" Li Su said secretly in his heart.
Li Su cautiously asked, "Mother, this princess, can it be chosen by the sons?" ”
"This is a family matter set by my father and mother, don't embarrass the royal family."
Concubine Liu's dedication to this point is even worse than that of Emperor Qian.
Seeing Concubine Liu's resolute attitude, Li Su didn't want to say anything more. Even if you are a traverser, it is impossible to violate the laws of this world in some things.
In the stories of the previous life, people would call the emperor the emperor, but Li Suyan would not do this, he had to abide by this rule.
At least now I don't have the ability to break the rules of this world, so let it be.
Thinking of this, Li Su has accepted this fact.
Li Su looked at Concubine Liu with a serious face and chose a wife for herself, and he believed that Concubine Liu's eyesight would definitely surpass his own.
She may not choose the best, but she will choose the most suitable.
Even in the future, there will be some young people who are already desperate about their marriage, hoping that they can listen to their own opinions and marry their husbands.
As a prince, he had nothing to worry about at all.
In less than half an hour, Concubine Liu discussed with Li Su the candidate for her future husband, Pan Wanyi, the youngest lady in Pan Feng's family, is only sixteen this year.
This woman, when he was not out of the customs, he saw it once at a poetry conference held by the rich second generation, and it was really a beautiful country, and now she has not seen her for three years, and she should be slim.
confirmed Pan Wanyi's marriage, reported it to Emperor Qian, and got Emperor Qian's approval, so the emperor issued an edict to let them choose a happy day in Pan's mansion and let them get married.
