50. When business opens, the richest man comes
As soon as Taifu's words fell, the boss He Ying opened the box containing the watch.
Although they don't know watches, they can see wall clocks.
The second and third eldest of the Taifu family were fifteen or sixteen years old, and they snatched the watch from the eldest brother's hand and put it on their wrists.
The third newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, "Dad, I want this!" β
Taifu's eyes widened, and he made a straight face: "You want everything, put it down for me." β
He Qi reluctantly took off the watch, but He Ying suddenly raised his hand to stop it, "Father, King An said that everyone has a share of the watch, so let the third brother take it." β
Taifu coughed heavily: "What else did King An say?" β
"An Wang said that the table lamp is to protect our eyes when we read at night, so that we don't miss our homework."
The third child had the audacity to snatch back the table lamp from his father: "Dad, this is something that King An gave us, you better take the watch!" β
Taifu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and his wife hurriedly pulled him: "The chess is still young, don't be angry with him." β
"Look at what he likes! I just borrowed it for use, and it wasn't that I didn't give it to him, looking at the way he slammed the door, where is it like our He family! β
The third child hugged the lamp and smirked, An Wang is so good.
The second brother got his own desk lamp with the courage, and let the eldest brother lend the rest to his father, anyway, the eldest brother is about to get married, and he can't use it for the time being.
As the gifts were taken out one by one, Taifu's envious eyes were green, and he couldn't wait to grab things from his own son. It's a pity that this is all named by King An to give to his son, King An's meaning is obvious, let him train his son, and they will become the right-hand man of the new emperor when he inherits the unification in the future.
King An was like this, which made Taifu feel relieved, and the pain in his heart was a little less.
In the end, everyone got gifts, including the youngest daughter and the eldest daughter-in-law who had not yet entered the door, which shows how much King An cares about the Taifu family.
Each man has a watch, the woman has perfume, all of them have gifts such as toothbrushes and thermos cups, and children who are also academics have the most gifts. The table lamp is the most unforgettable thing for Taifu, so he rubbed the table lamp in his son's house for several nights in a row.
In the past half a month, Taifu's two younger sons can't stand it.
The third brother stood in front of his father: "Dad, my second brother and I want to go to Qiongzhou." β
Taifu was not angry, but stroked his beard: "Tell me what you think." β
"The so-called reading 10,000 books is better than traveling 10,000 miles, my second brother and I want to go outside to observe the people's livelihood, always reading sage books, it is difficult for us to understand the suffering of the people. King An is around him when there is a shortage of people, and he will definitely be able to do practical things if he goes. β
In fact, since King An gave them study utensils, they have been very curious about what kind of place Qiongzhou is to have so many strange things. They already had the idea of going out to study, and now they are pushing the boat to join King An.
The second child added: "Dad, what you get on paper is shallow, and you never know that you have to do it, isn't this what you told us." Staying in the country with my third brother can allow us to enter the official career, but we cannot become good officials who love the people like children. β
Seeing his son's resolute attitude, Taifu was very relieved: "Okay, since you have made up your mind to go, I will ask King An for you." β
What the two teenagers did not expect was that it was today's decision that made them the most famous scientists of the Ning Dynasty in the future.
What happened in Taifu's house was unknown to outsiders. However, if there is anyone who the nobles in the capital envy the most recently, it is He Yuan, the youngest daughter of the Taifu family. She didn't know where to get the precious spices, and her whole body exuded a faint floral fragrance, and the fragrance was fragrant everywhere she went, which was light and elegant but not tiresome. No matter how much they inquired, He Yuan was sure that it was the smell of the garden.
Not only He Yuan, but also Taifu's wife and He Ying's fiancΓ©e Meng Wan, they all exude a charming fragrance of flowers, which is more refreshing than the fragrance of flowers in the garden.
Even the county lord couldn't help but summon the female relatives of the Taifu family to the tea party, just to smell them personally. The county lord invited the female relatives of the Taifu family to discuss in the compartment alone, and after they came out, everyone saw at a glance that the county lord and Meng Wan changed their clothes.
This matter also spread to the palace, and now there is no owner in the harem, and only three concubines jointly manage the harem. The three of them suppressed each other, and two more Jieyu in the palace were pregnant, and His Majesty personally said that if the child could not be saved, the three of them would be punished together. For the sake of His Majesty's Lin'er, they didn't dare to make extraneous branches, so they had to do it.
Taifu's family members are so ostentatious, but no one dares to target Taifu. Taifu's biggest backer, the former crown prince, has been abolished, and he is still the object of others' wooing. Taifu is familiar with His Majesty, and was His Majesty's companion when he was a prince. The abolished prince was assigned, but he did not implicate the Taifu in the slightest, and he could see the weight of the Taifu in His Majesty's heart.
Hearing that the two sons of the Taifu family were going out to study, everyone regretted it. With the identity of Taifu, He Shu and He Qi can enter the Ministry of Rites after staying in Guozijian for a few more years, and they don't even have to participate in the imperial examination.
These two teenagers just didn't want to go out to study, and at first glance, they wanted to take the path of the imperial examination, and they could obviously directly enter the court as officials, but they had to get together with the children of peasant families.
After the Taifu Dynasty was summoned by His Majesty, the emperor in the imperial study was correcting the folds.
"Supposedly you've got something good again?" If you don't show off something good, it's not too good.
He Changqing rolled up his sleeves to reveal his watch, "This can't be hidden from His Majesty's eyes." β
He had only shown off to a few of his colleagues, and he wondered what kind of talkative guy was going around to let His Majesty's secret guards hear.
He presented the object: "This thing is a watch, and it is the same thing as a clock, but it is more convenient to see the time." β
Emperor Yongning took the watch and compared it with the wall clock on the wall, the time was exactly the same.
He Changqing knew that he was extremely satisfied when he looked at His Majesty's face.
"The minister will give this thing to His Majesty."
Who knew that Emperor Yongning pretended to be angry: "What my son gave me, how did it become a gift from you." "That son who has no conscience, he only gives all good things to Taifu, who is his old son!
He Changqing continued: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking advantage of the old minister's observation, and the watch will be returned to its original owner. β
Emperor Yongning was physically and mentally comfortable.
"Your eldest son is now a squire of the Ministry of Works?"
Without waiting for Taifu to answer, Emperor Yongning continued, "I heard that your two youngest sons are going out to study, and I can't find a suitable person for a place here, what do you think of He Ying?" β
Taifu was worried all the way, and His Majesty's move made him more and more unable to see through. Leizhou is only half a day away from Qiongzhou by boat, and you can go back and forth in one day, Your Majesty asked He Ying to go to Leizhou to do the assassination history, on the surface he was promoted, but I don't know what arrangements are made for him.

After half a busy month, the renovation of Joerya's commercial street was completed, and not only that, but all the clerks were trained and graduated.
Fushou and Fuquan, the two clever little eunuchs, don't know what the prince thinks in terms of serving people, but they learn things very quickly, so Xiao Jinyou gave these two little eunuchs to her and let her call.
Qiao Erya was worried that there was no one to help train the staff, and Xiao Jinyou's maternal grandfather sent a few beautiful maids, wanting him to receive the branches and leaves in the room to be the girls in the room.
Xiao Jinyou wanted to send people back, but was stopped by Qiao Erya. These maidservants sent back may not know what to do, and now the palace is short of manpower, and accepting them as employees not only solves the trouble, but also prevents the grandfather's family from continuing to give them away. If you don't want to be an employee, you will be given 20 taels of silver to return the deed of sale and leave by yourself.
Xiao Jinyou saw that she cherished talents, and the only requirement was that these women could not live in the palace, so Qiao Erya went to buy a house as a staff dormitory.
The men's and women's dormitories are separated by a fence and patrolled by special personnel. She does not prohibit employees from digesting internally, but the relationship between men and women cannot be messed up, otherwise it will affect the work and ruin the reputation of the store.
There are four employees in the bubble tea shop, all of whom are sent to the maid training and work, and the maidservants of large families are more delicate than the daughters of ordinary families, and now they are free bodies with wages. Milk tea is a combination of milk tea bags bought, and fruit tea is a finished jam except for fresh fruits, even if these maids want to find another job in the future, they don't have to worry about the recipe leaking.
Jorya also customized their work clothes, which are different for each store, but all staff uniforms are embroidered with a grapefruit on the left chest, which is white, red and yellow, and the color is used to distinguish which store employee it is.
On the day of the official opening of the commercial street, many large ships in Lin'an City sailed to the coast of Qiongzhou.
These merchants had long heard that the clocks and watches came from Qiongzhou, and they were brought back from the sea from Qiongzhou. At that time, they couldn't wait to go to the island, but they learned that the merchant ship had only left, and it would be half a month before they could return.
This time, they calculated the day to go to the island, pinching their fingers and calculating the time every day, for fear that they would be one step late.
It turned out that their ideas were right, and one by one they couldn't come, and as a result, all the familiar big ships met at sea.
Everyone greeted each other embarrassedly and politely, and immediately changed their faces when they got into the cabin.
"The old foxes keep saying that Qiongzhou is a poor and remote country, and when the time comes, they run faster than rabbits."
There are one merchant ship after another parked on the coast of Qiongzhou, which is much more lively than before, and the people on the island have come out to see the excitement.
"Look, that's the boat of the dart game, what kind of treasure is there on our island, why is the dart game here?!"
"What is the dart game, look at the Shen family's ship, the most magnificent fleet in the middle is all the Shen family's ship. The Shen family is the richest man in Zhejiang, and even the Shen family has come over, which is really amazing. β
These foreign businessmen were familiar with the road last time they came to find the food stalls, but unfortunately the food stalls are closed during the day. The crowd was extremely depressed.
However, to their surprise, the street of this food stall was very different from the last time they had seen it.
The last time they came, the whole street was in a dilapidated state, except for the food stalls, where the tables were placed in the small square outside the shop, eating grilled fish and watching the view.
This time, however, it was completely different, as the closed shops magically opened their doors and became places to eat.
At the intersection, two and a half children were holding a thick stack of papers, and they would give them to anyone they saw.
Before they could react, someone shoved one into their arms.
It's paper! Why don't you just give it away!?
Even if they are merchants with small family assets, they do not dare to throw away the paper at will.
Jorya went out in casual clothes and walked down the shopping street to inspect today's business.
I have to say that as long as the gimmick is played well, making a fortune is just around the corner.
There are a lot of merchants here today, all of them coming for the wall clock of the Treasure Pavilion.
But she wasn't going to sell wall clocks, so she put a super heavy table clock in the store to hang their appetite, focusing on glass products and various glass crafts.
The merchandise display cases of the Treasure Pavilion are all glass cabinets, and there is a locked glass door on the outside, which can only be taken out for a closer look after a deposit. If you are worried about the quality problem, the goods are transferred from the warehouse, and the displays are not sold.
After arriving on the island, the group of merchants moved around, and since the food stalls were not open, they were going to wander around the island to inquire about the situation.
This time I went to the door of the Jewel Pavilion.
"The Baozhu Pavilion in Qiongzhou has not closed down for two years, and it seems that the shopkeeper has two brushes."
"Who said it wasn't, it is said that Baozhu Pavilion has a new solid color glass bead, I don't know if this store has one."
"Go and see, maybe there are rare colors to be made." Glass beads are financial products in the hands of merchants, and the rarer the color, the higher the value, and you can resell them to return to your capital. This is also why glass orbs are highly sought after.
The proprietress of Baozhu Pavilion has had a good time in the past half a month, and she greets everyone with a smile. Since the shopkeeper bought the solid colored glass beads from overseas merchants, the business of the store has come back to life. However, in order to sell them at a high price, she only sold two solid-colored orbs, and they were both sold to the daughters of the prefect's family. She has to sell the rest at the highest price. You must know that she spent twenty taels of silver on each bead to buy, and she had to sell it for forty taels to pay off.
There is an endless stream of firecrackers outside, and it is said that a commercial street has opened on the next street, backed by King An's Mansion, and the boss behind the scenes is a woman. The proprietress couldn't help but think of that nasty woman. Hmph, you can use as big a bowl as you have to open a street shop, and you're not afraid of being strung to death!
Some of the merchants went to the Jewel Pavilion, and some of the merchants received the leaflets and looked at them curiously, and their hands trembled.
The flyer designed by Joorya contains all the shops in the shopping street. The largest section is naturally the Treasure Pavilion, and the lifelike color illustrations are made with modern color printing technology; followed by hot pot restaurants and milk tea shop publicity, which are also color pictures; At the bottom are advertisements for beauty stores and Malatang shops, and on the other side are advertisements for several other stores.
Not only are the pictures vivid, but even the shop door plaque has been photographed on it, and the illiterate businessman can find the place by looking at the picture.
Shen Cai is the richest man in Liangzhejiang, and when he goes to the island, someone will greet him, and Zhong Heming will personally take him to see King An.
What surprised him was that King An did not woo him, but let him feel the customs of the island.
Shen Cai felt funny in his heart, the customs and customs of Qiongzhou were afraid that he would go out to give alms to the skinny people. However, he naturally couldn't save King An's face, so he agreed with a smile.
He thought it was polite, but who expected Zhong Heming to take him out for a stroll.
Okay, he's here for the wall clock today, and since King An wants him to wander around the island, it's up to them to sell it.
Zhong Heming didn't need to guess to know the old guy's thoughts, he gloated and thought, now reluctantly, I will go to Miss Qiao's shop later, I am afraid that ten cows will not be able to pull out.
