Different world.
All six shops have been repaired according to Xu Ning's wishes.
Without a supermarket, there would be no need for such a large shop. Xu Ning plans to use two of them to open a wine shop, just like the wine shops in Yongping County, making wine and selling wine together.
Two shops are used to sell daily necessities, one shop is used to sell women's products, and the last shop sells various candies and snacks.
After half a month of preparation, all the shops were opened together.
Xu Ning took Qimeng and Zhao Lingshuang over, and Li Daniu could just watch them from Yongping County.
Qimeng is in charge of the women's products store, while Zhao Lingshuang is in charge of the snack shop.
As for the wine shop, Xu Ning transferred Peng Dong and Wang Yong over and put them in charge. For the daily necessities shop, Xu Ning called Liang Wen.
Liang Jingde can still keep busy by hiring a few guys.
Opening day.
There was a sea of people in front of the entire store. Whether it was a daily necessities store, a women's product store or a snack store, these were things that the people of Gyeongju had never seen before.
Everyone was curious.
Although these products are not cheap, the people of Gyeongju are much richer than the people of Yongping County. On the opening day, Liu Jin came in person, which made these people even more curious.
People poured into the shop, and the maids, servants, and maids trained by Xu Ning began to explain the functions of these products to everyone.
The first thing to open was a snack shop. A young lady bought a White Rabbit toffee. When she ate it in her mouth, she almost went crazy.
Oh my God!
What kind of candy was this? It was so delicious. It was sweet and rich. It was countless times more delicious than the ones she had eaten before.
An indescribable sense of satisfaction bursts out from the bottom of my heart.
"Bring me the White Rabbit toffee worth ten taels of silver."
This noble lady spends a lot of money and wants to buy ten taels of silver directly.
Soon others were buying too.
In the women's products store, Qimeng carefully explained the functions of underwear, panties, sanitary napkins, Jieryin, Jisibang, cosmetics, skin care products and other products, which made the eyes of all the women shine.
These are what they need most.
Who on earth thought of this, actually thinking about their women so much, all the women felt valued for a while.
Buy buy buy!
Once they understood the functions of these products, everyone began to consume them. They had never seen such novel products before.
Xu Ning smiled and felt comfortable in the store. Although she already knew that these products were popular, she did not expect them to be so popular.
The people of Gyeongju are really rich.
…
Xue Mansion in the capital.
It has been more than a month since Xue Qianqian came back, and Xue Zuhe has been informed of what happened in Yongping County.
Xue Zuhe was furious. Xue Ao did not kill Xu Ning, but asked Xu Ning to kill the Yongping Xue family.
Now the wine business in Yongping County is gone.
Although there is not much wine business in Yongping County, the new wine brewed by Xu Ning will have an impact on the Xue family.
Xue Qianqian even brought a bottle back to Xue Zuhe.
After drinking this wine, Xue Zuhe knew that once this wine spread to the capital, it would definitely cause a sensation, and their tribute wine might be replaced by then.
"Dad, what should we do now?" Xue Qianqian asked.
"You first go to Qingzhou and keep an eye on Xu Ning to see if you can get the brewing method from him. Dad and the Qin family have important things to discuss and we can't spare time for the time being."
Xue Zuhe thought for a while and spoke.
Xue Qianqian nodded. Xu Ning was Liu Jin's nephew. She found out clearly when she was in Yongping County. Now that Liu Jin has become the governor of Qingzhou, it would be inappropriate to assassinate Xu Ning.
Moreover, Xu Ning is also protected by experts, so he is not so easy to kill.
As for what Xue Zuhe and the Qin family wanted to discuss, Xue Qianqian also vaguely knew something about it.
The current empress wants to further weaken the aristocratic rights of the Great Zhou Dynasty, take back fiefdoms and military power, and not allow these nobles to interfere in local government affairs, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of many nobles.
Some of their noble titles were awarded by the founding emperor for their military exploits when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, and some were awarded by other emperors for their contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But no matter who granted it, they were not willing to let the empress take back their territory and military power.
Thinking of a fight with the Empress, it would be best to make the Empress compromise.
The empress did not force these nobles too much, mainly because Dazhou was still at war with Daliang, so it was not easy to fall out with these nobles for the time being, but she was also prepared to adopt a pilot method.
Winning some nobles to her side and dividing the nobles so that they can be defeated one by one.
The Qin family is a duke, the highest noble among the nobles. They have 30,000 private soldiers and a fiefdom of 5,000 square kilometers, so the Qin family does not want to hand over the fiefdom and military power under any circumstances.
Winning over some nobles to compete with the empress.
Xue Qianqian also heard Xue Zuhe accidentally mention that if the empress really forced her, the Qin family might rebel. After all, some people were dissatisfied with women being emperors.
In addition, the empress was extremely militaristic and seemed to want to rely on her military exploits to prove that her role as emperor was beneficial to the Zhou Dynasty, so she continued to launch wars.
After ten years of reign, he destroyed small countries such as the Wu Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty. Now he is at war with Daliang, hoping to further expand his territory.
Such wars every year, although the national power of the Zhou Dynasty can still support it, have also caused a lot of public resentment.
If you rebel, it will be considered righteous.
Xue Qianqian wanted to persuade Xue Zuhe not to participate. The empress was not that easy to mess with, but she didn't know how to persuade her.
Forget it, let’s go to Qingzhou first and keep an eye on Xu Ning.
…
There are also nobles in Gyeongju.
To the east outside Gyeongju City is a vast ocean called the East Sea. There is a huge manor built ten kilometers away from the shore.
This is the famous Linhai Manor in Gyeongju.
The owner of the manor is Chu Huaishan, and his ancestors made a living by fishing in the sea. After the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty revolted, he passed by here and saw that the Chu family were strong and tall, so he asked his ancestors to follow him to conquer the world.
Later, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, the ancestors of the Chu family were granted the title of marquis, known as the Marquis of Donghai, which was hereditary. The area where the Chu family was originally located was also granted to the Chu family as a fief.
At this time, in the courtyard at the center of the manor, a young woman was practicing swordplay. This woman was extremely beautiful and wore training clothes that perfectly highlighted her figure.
"Miss, miss."
At this moment, a maid hurriedly ran in.
The woman sheathed her sword, looked at the maid running in, and said with a smile: "Xiao Man, why is it so urgent?"
"Miss, there is a Xu Ji store in the city. There are many weird things in it. I bought some candies for Miss to try."
Xiaoman said, opened a package, took out a toffee from it and handed it to the woman.
The woman peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in her mouth, with a look of surprise on her face.
"This candy is so delicious."
"Hehe, it's delicious. Xu Ji's shop also sells women's products. There is something called sanitary napkins from the shopkeeper. We can use it when we come to Tiankui..."
Chu Rou was stunned when she heard that there was such a magical thing.
"Let's go and have a look."
Chu Rou put down her sword, changed her clothes, and rode towards Qingzhou City.
