Chapter 249

People coming and going in the chamber of commerce are as noisy as the Spring Festival.

In the face of Pang Yukun's congratulations, Xiao Ming is quite helpless. He doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

Now, as a vassal, he personally felt that the common people wanted to have a good life. Soldiers and officials needed to pay salaries on time, build ships, build guns and buy materials. There were so many things in this fiefdom, big and small things basically had to do with money.

Without money, officials are unwilling to handle official business, soldiers are unwilling to fight, and craftsmen in workshops are even more lazy. From the perspective of a vassal, loyalty to the monarch, patriotism, peace and prosperity are just food for ordinary people.

At this time, he gradually realized that only when he had money in his pocket could he stand the ups and downs. If he did not engage in industry or make money at the beginning, he would just blindly expand the army.

When the barbarians besieged Qingzhou, I'm afraid they didn't have the will of the people or the artillery. Some of them were just a group of strong men who were dissatisfied with themselves and were ready to run away with ragged weapons. At that time, I'm afraid they had no place to bury themselves.

Therefore, in his mind, the string of Commerce and trade has never been relaxed. Only when he has money and resources can he be qualified to be a violent soldier.

"Your compliment is too expensive." Xiao Ming can only answer Pang Yukun in this way.

With a slight smile, Pang Yukun said solemnly, "Your Highness, this is also to attract businessmen to settle in Qingzhou and improve the appearance of Qingzhou. The whole city of Qingzhou needs to lay concrete roads. This project is not small and can not be completed without money."

From modern times to this era, Xiao Ming's natural vision is relatively long-term, so the planning of Qingzhou has already started, rather than waiting for the disorderly construction of Qingzhou to mend.

As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, you need to build roads first. Every rainy day, the muddy roads in Qingzhou always make merchants and people miserable.

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

One of the purposes of this is to improve people's livelihood, and the other is to attract foreign businessmen to settle down for a long time, which is also called building nests to attract Phoenix.

At the same time, it is an obvious truth that large-scale construction is the fastest way to stimulate the local economy. In modern municipal roads, real estate has proved everything.

This time, a lot of money will fall into the hands of the common people, one is the cost of materials, the other is the cost of labor.

As they were talking, Li Kaiyuan, who was sweating heavily, came in from the door. His clothes were a little messy, as if he had been rubbed on the ground.

"Ouch, these thousand knife killers, seeing me is like seeing a thief. My clothes are almost pulled off." Li Kaiyuan complained and said.

Then he asked, "Your Highness, now businessmen are asking when the auction will start and how to answer them?"

"Don't worry. When is it now? The real gold owner hasn't come yet?" Xiao Ming said that he brightened Xiao Wenxuan's 800 Li.

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

Xiao Ming nodded, "and I want to postpone it a little bit, so that Lutong can produce more mirrors."

"The officer agreed." Pang Yukun is now following Xiao Ming. He has been influenced and understood a lot.

Li Kaiyuan nodded.

Xiao Ming continued: "by the way, arrange a merchant ship to send ten mirrors to Chang'an, and remember to send one to Fei yue'er."

"The princess has not yet started, his highness is so caring. It can be seen that his highness was very satisfied with the princess last time in Chang'an." Pang Yukun heard the speech and said with a smile.

Xiao Ming recalled Fei yue'er's face, but he couldn't remember it. However, it's normal to give a present to his fiancee in modern times. After all, it's for the sake of a harmonious life after marriage. He said, "I just saw half of it. This is just for the sake of adding flowers to the brocade."

Li Kaiyuan flattered and said, "Your Highness has achieved great success now, and now he has to welcome the beauty back. It's really enviable and enviable."

Although Xiao Ming is happy now, he is still walking on thin ice. Facing Li Kaiyuan's sugar coated shells, he stares and says, "don't flatter me, do more things, but don't go quickly."

Li Kaiyuan nodded with a smile and immediately squeezed out of the merchants.

This time, Xiao Wenxuan made an urgent inquiry about the mirror. Between the words, the concubines in the harem liked the mirror very much, meaning that if there was one, they would send some more. Unlike

's fast consumables such as perfumes and soap, Xiao Ming was naturally reluctant to send one to each of the concubines. So he decided to send some more to Xiao Wenxuan.

As for Xiao Wenxuan's distribution, it's his business. After all, Xiao Wenxuan has made an emergency of 800 Li, so he has to give him face. Otherwise, the first mirror he sent will lose its function because he doesn't give face.

The concubines who couldn't get the mirror had to find a way to buy it.

The merchants outside still refuse to leave. Xiao Ming asks people to release the news, and the auction will be delayed for ten days.

And he went directly to the school of Bowen. When preparing for the auction, he didn't slack off.For more than ten days, he has been teaching Luo Xin how to calculate the impact point of shells, and at the same time, he has taught Yue Yun and other people the basic knowledge of navigation. This course has to continue, because there are still very complicated things to teach for Yue Yun.

When a group of businessmen in Qingzhou face the mirrors, another batch of mirrors arrive in Chang'an, and nine mirrors are sent to Xiao Wenxuan.

And a mirror was sent to the house in Fiji.

"Master, this is something sent by the king of Qi."

Fei house, the housekeeper carrying a mirror covered with black cloth into the house.

When Fiji saw this thing, he immediately understood something and said, "be careful, don't fall?"

The man from Qingzhou put down the mirror and left. The old housekeeper didn't know what it was, so he was clever.

"Sir, what's in it?" The housekeeper was in a state of consternation.

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

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

Looking at himself in the mirror, Fijian's face showed a strong smile. He thought that king Qi was so careful that he could be relieved to give his daughter to him.

Then he said to the housekeeper, "go and send the mirror to the lady."

The housekeeper nodded and immediately sent the mirror.

At this time, Fei yue'er is embroidering a purse in the boudoir. She hears the movement outside and asks Xiaohuan to open the door.

Then Fijian came in, followed by the housekeeper.

"Dad, what's this?" Fei Yue son doubts a way.

Black cloth is covered again, Fijian says: "daughter, is this the mirror that the king of Qi gives you?"

"Ah." Fei Yue son can't help exclaiming.
