Chapter 247

"Have you heard that the chamber of commerce is going to hold a trade fair in Dongshi? I heard that there are new products coming out again?"

"Yes? Let's go soon. It's said that the exhibition will last for seven days. After this village, there won't be this shop. "

“……”

The next day, the front page headlines of Qingzhou newspapers roared with the words "fair" and "mirror".

The merchants in Qingzhou once again set off waves. In the first three times, many merchants missed business opportunities, and they still regret it. Now they will not miss this opportunity again.

So when they saw the newspaper, they flocked to the east city.

At this time, many scholars also saw the contents of the newspaper and were curious. They also went to Dongshi to join in the fun.

This fair is naturally Xiao Ming's idea. No matter how good the mirror is, it must show its true face and let others feel it. Therefore, this fair is very necessary.

On the one hand, it can show the charm of the mirror; on the other hand, it can let businessmen spread the magic of the mirror and expand the influence of the mirror.

At this time, a small area of Dongshi was surrounded by soldiers. No one was allowed to get close to the mirror within three meters.

In a place surrounded by ropes, a dozen mirrors were displayed.

The businessmen in front clearly saw themselves through the mirror. They looked excited and refused to leave in front of the mirror.

"I said, have you seen enough?" the businessman behind was already impatient, "you also let others have a look."

In front of the businessman looking at the mirror infatuated, simply lazy to pay attention to, "I arrived first, I want to see as long as I want to see."

"Screw you." The businessman at the back grabs the businessman at the front and pushes him to the ground. Then when he sees himself in the mirror, he looks obsessed.

Then the businessman behind him repeated the same process.

For a time, the east city was full of troubles and chaos. From time to time, there was a big fight between businessmen.

They were all shocked by the magic mirror and just wanted to see it for a while, while some flexible businessmen went directly to the chamber of Commerce to find Li Kaiyuan.

"Vice President Li, can you tell us what to say about the mirror in advance?" When a businessman spoke, he gave Li Kaiyuan a banknote of more than a thousand taels.

Li Kaiyuan pushes the money back. He can understand Xiao Ming's method. If he really takes the money, he will be in prison.

Xiao Ming has always been very strict with the officials of the six prefectures. At the meeting, Xiao Ming made it clear that the salary he gave to the officials of the six prefectures was three times that of the officials of the state of Dayu, and the lowest salary was thirty-six taels of silver.

Therefore, with such a high salary, his tolerance for corruption is zero. Once corruption is verified, it is not a matter of losing official position. If it is a light prison disaster, if it is a heavy one, there is no room for negotiation.

Li Kaiyuan can be said to be a close official of Xiao Ming's side. When he gets credit, he will get a lot of silver reward. It can be said that he is not short of money.

And that makes him less likely to take bribes.

"You'd better take it back, or I can't talk about it with you today." Li Kaiyuan put away his usual smile and said.

The merchant was stunned for a moment. It's a common practice in the state of Dayu. No official doesn't accept money. This makes him uneasy. He said, "Vice President Li, is it missing?"

Li Kaiyuan said angrily, "do you want to kill me? Our Qingzhou government doesn't accept money. Take it back. If you talk about it again, you'll just go away. "

As soon as the merchant's face changed, he put away the money and said with a smile, "in that case, I just want to ask vice president Li how to sell this mirror? When and how to sell? "

Li Kaiyuan's face was a little better. He said, "Your Highness has ordered that the agency right will not be sold. If it is sold, it will be in these two days. As for how to sell it, your Highness has said that it will be auctioned."

"Auction?" The merchant hesitated and said, "isn't it the right to sell by auction?"

"No, this auction mirror is fair and reasonable to everyone. Moreover, the technology of this mirror is very complex, so it can't be mass produced, so we can only use this method." Li Kaiyuan said.

This is what he and Xiao Ming have already planned. Since mirrors are luxury goods, it is necessary to make a profit for the first time, and the auction is the fastest way to make money.

While Li Kaiyuan was hanging the merchant's appetite, Xiao Ming also sent a mirror to Chang'an. This time, there was only one mirror, and it was given to Xiao Wenxuan.

This time, Xiao Ming was cruel. For the shock effect of the mirror, he didn't send it to the princess. Instead, after a while, he sent it to the princess again.

The news of Li Kaiyuan's oral release soon spread among the merchants, and many merchants immediately began to prepare for the silver to buy mirrors for sale at this auction.

The magic effect of the mirror also spread with the businessmen returning to their hometown. Many ladies of big families knew the effect of the mirror and planned to go to Qingzhou.

During this time, the mirror Xiao Ming sent to Chang'an finally arrived and was transported back to the palace by Feng Deshui."Your Majesty, the gift from king Qi has arrived."

In the bedroom, Xiao Wenxuan was correcting the memorial when Feng Deshui came in. The two little yellow gates were carrying the blindfolded mirror with a little difficulty.

"What did the king of Qi give me?" When Xiao Ming talks, he can't help looking forward to it.

At this time, in his bedroom, there is a unified country given to him by Xiao Ming, and a telescope is placed on his desk.

He loved both.

"I also want to know what surprise his Highness the king of Qi brought to his majesty this time?" Feng Deshui said with a smile and motioned to Xiao Huangmen.

At this time, Xiao Huang's goalkeeper heibula came down.

Suddenly a mirror, two meters high and fifty centimeters wide, with a carved dragon and hollowed out gold frame, appeared in front of Xiao Wenxuan.

"Your Majesty, there are assassins!"

When Feng Deshui saw the person in the mirror for the first time, he immediately screamed.

Xiao Wenxuan was also startled, but he was a man who came from the big wind and waves. He didn't behave like Feng Deshui. Looking closely, he moved his hands cautiously, and so did the people in the mirror.

Then he patted Feng Deshui, and the people in the mirror also patted the people around him.

At this time, Xiao Wenxuan had understood that the people in the mirror were the same as those reflected in the bronze mirror.

But because it was too clear, it looked like a real person was standing inside. No wonder Feng Deshui was so shocked.

"Escort, escort!"

At this time, many bodyguards rushed in. When they came to Xiao Wenxuan, they saw the soldiers in armor in the mirror.

The bodyguards drew their swords and rushed to the mirror, roaring: "dare to rebel, you will die!"

At this time, Xiao Wenxuan recovered from the shock. He cried out: "slow down!"
