The Chamber of Commerce is full of people coming and going, as noisy as the New Year. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of Pang Yukun's congratulations, Xiao Ming was a little helpless, and he didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive.

Now as a vassal king, he personally felt one thing, the people want to live a good life, soldiers and officials need to pay money on time, build ships, make cannons, buy materials, this fief is full of things, big and small things are basically inseparable from silver.

Without silver, officials are reluctant to handle official duties, soldiers are reluctant to fight, and craftsmen in the workshop are even more lazy.

At this time, he gradually woke up to the fact that only with a ticket in his pocket could he withstand the toss, if he didn't engage in industry at the beginning, he didn't make money, and he just blindly expanded the army.

When the barbarians besieged Qingzhou, I was afraid that they would have no popular support, no artillery, and some were just a group of strong men who were dissatisfied with themselves and were ready to flee at any time with tattered weapons.

So in his heart, the string of commercial trade has never been slackened, there is money, there are resources, so that he is qualified to be a violent soldier.

"Your congratulations are too expensive." Xiao Ming could only answer Pang Yukun like this.

Laughing lightly, Pang Yukun said solemnly: "Your Highness, this is also to attract businessmen to settle in Qingzhou and improve the appearance of Qingzhou, the entire Qingzhou City will be paved with cement roads, this project is not small, and it can't be done without silver." ”

From modern times to this era, Xiao Ming naturally has a relatively long-term vision, so the planning for Qingzhou has already begun, rather than waiting for Qingzhou's indiscriminate construction to make up for it.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first, and every rainy day, the muddy roads in Qingzhou City always make businessmen and people miserable.

Xiao Ming was even more unaccustomed to it, so he was ready to start his first municipal project after crossing, building cement roads and beautifying the city.

The purpose of this is to improve people's livelihood, and the other is to attract foreign businessmen to settle down for a long time.

At the same time, it is obvious that large-scale construction is the fastest way to stimulate the local economy, and real estate has proven everything in modern municipal roads.

This time, a lot of silver was sprinkled, one was the cost of materials, and the other was the cost of labor, which naturally fell into the hands of the people.

As the two were talking, Li Kaiyuan, who was sweating profusely, walked in from outside the door at this time, his clothes were a little messy, as if he had been pressed to the ground and rubbed again.

"Oh, these traders who kill a thousand knives, when they see me, it's like seeing a thief, and my clothes are about to be ripped off." Li Kaiyuan said while complaining.

Then he asked, "Your Highness, now the merchants are asking when the auction will begin, how do you answer them?" ”

"Don't worry, when is it, the real gold lord hasn't come yet?" Xiao Ming said, he quickly lit up Xiao Wenxuan's eight hundred miles.

"So, the mirror has just spread in Chang'an City?" Li Kaiyuan asked.

Xiao Ming nodded, "And this king also wants to delay a little, so that Lu Tong and them can produce more mirrors." ”

"This subordinate agrees." Pang Yukun is now following Xiao Ming's side, and he has learned a lot.

Li Kaiyuan nodded.

Xiao Ming continued: "By the way, arrange for the merchant ship to send ten more mirrors to Chang'an, and remember to give one of them to Fei Yue'er. ”

"Before the princess started, His Royal Highness cared so much, it can be seen that His Royal Highness was very satisfied with the princess last time in Chang'an." When Pang Yukun heard this, he suddenly smiled.

Xiao Ming recalled Fei Yue'er's face, but he couldn't remember it anymore, but it is normal to give a gift to his fiancée in modern times, after all, it is for a harmonious life after marriage, he said: "This king has only seen half of it, and this mirror is just to add icing on the cake." ”

Li Kaiyuan patted his ass and said: "Your Highness is now a great achievement, and now he wants to welcome a beauty, which is really enviable and enviable." ”

Xiao Ming is now proud of the spring breeze, but he has not yet got carried away, he is still walking on thin ice, facing Li Kaiyuan's sugar-coated cannonball, he glared and said: "Less sycophants, more things, don't go quickly." ”

Li Kaiyuan smiled and nodded, and immediately squeezed out of the merchant pile again.

This time, Xiao Wenxuan was in a hurry for eight hundred miles, specifically asking about the mirror, and between the words, the harem concubines liked the mirror very much, meaning that if there was, they would send some more.

Unlike quick consumables such as perfume and soap, Xiao Ming was naturally not willing to send one to each harem concubine, so he decided to send some more to Xiao Wenxuan.

As for how Xiao Wenxuan distributes it, that's his business, after all, Xiao Wenxuan has sent an eight-hundred-mile expedited service, so he has to give him face, otherwise the first mirror to be sent will lose its effect because it doesn't give face.

And those concubines who can't get the mirror can only find a way to buy it with silver.

The businessmen outside still refused to leave, and Xiao Ming let out the news that the auction would continue to be delayed for ten days.

And he went directly to the Bowen Academy, and when preparing for the auction, he never slackened.

For more than ten days, he has been teaching Luo Xin to calculate the landing point of cannonballs, and at the same time teaching Yue Yun and others basic navigation knowledge, this course has to be continued, because there are still very complicated things to teach for Yue Yun.

When the merchants in Qingzhou were clamoring for mirrors, another batch of mirrors arrived in Chang'an, and nine mirrors were sent to Xiao Wenxuan's hands.

And a mirror was sent to the Fijian house.

"Master, this is something sent by King Qi."

In the Fei Mansion, the butler carried a mirror covered with a black cloth into the mansion.

When Fiji saw this, he instantly understood something, and he immediately said, "Be careful, don't fall?" ”

The person from Qingzhou put down the mirror and left, and the old housekeeper didn't know what it was, so he suddenly had a cleverness.

"Sir, what's in here?" The butler was shocked.

Fiji stroked his beard and said, "I'm afraid it's a mirror." ”

After saying that, he pulled the black cloth down, and sure enough, a beautiful mirror appeared in front of him.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Fiji's face showed a thick smile, and he thought that King Qi was so careful that he could feel at ease when he handed over his daughter to him.

Then he said to the butler, "Go, send the mirror to the young lady." ”

The butler nodded, and immediately sent the mirror over.

At this time, Fei Yue'er was embroidering a purse in the boudoir, and when she heard the movement outside, she asked Xiaohuan to open the door.

At this moment Fiji walked in, followed by the butler.

"Dad, what is this?" Fei Yue'er wondered.

The black cloth was covered again, and Fiji said, "Daughter, is this the mirror that King Qi gave you?" ”

"Ahh Fei Yue'er couldn't help but exclaim.
