Just after the Lantern Festival, various government offices opened their offices, and ladies and ladies had more banquets and entertainments.
During the 70th birthday party of Dingbei Hou's mother, Princess Qi and Princess Deyang were invited. As they moved, a fragrant breeze blew by, and the elegant and light fragrance seemed to be there, which made people intoxicated.
"What kind of scented clothes did the princess and princess use? They smell so good."
Madams and ladies with whom I have always been friends gathered around to ask.
Princess Qi pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Does it really smell so good? I didn't apply much, just two drops. Do you still smell it?"
"It's not like I smell it. It seems to be there but not there. It smells like flowers and fruits. It's not cloying, and it smells very good."
Princess Qi is the only one favored by Prince Qi. Although Prince Qi also has concubines and concubines, Princess Qi is the only one who is respected by Prince Qi. The children she gave birth to are also the most valued by Prince Qi. Although there are many women in Prince Qi's palace, over the years, There has never been any scandal in the house.
Look at Princess Qi and Princess Deyang walking together, like two sisters. The fact that women are getting younger as they live can only mean that men love them more and live a comfortable life at home.
Princess Qi's status was very high, and not many people dared to come up to her and ask her what kind of incense she used, except those she had always been friends with, but Princess Deyang had more people around to ask.
"I heard that it comes from the overseas country of Siam. A bottle as small as a knuckle is worth a thousand dollars. It's a bit expensive, but if you smell it, does it smell good?"
All the ladies came over to hear it and nodded. So what if the price is a thousand dollars? It seems like there is still money missing.
Is it sold in Qiya’s exotic pet store?
You must buy it!
Qi Ya's exotic pet shop was once again surrounded by people. Even Jiang Xiang's house is full of people every day, and they all go through the back door to intercede and ask for goods.
How can there be a limit? Are you looking down on people? It’s like no one can afford the money.
Even the empresses in the palace asked the purchasers to go out of the palace with gold and silver tickets to buy. If they couldn't buy it, they went to the Chiang Mansion.
Mrs. Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew that this day would come ever since they received the perfume, dew, balm and other items sent by Zhao Guangyuan.
The concierge was so lenient in accepting the invitations that Mrs. Jiang, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't stand it. Some people refused them directly, while others had a hard time refusing them, so they had to politely ask them to come in and explain patiently.
"Didn't our Daqi ban the sea? It was a coincidence that the overseas merchant ships got lost at sea for some reason and drifted to our Daqi territory. The tribesmen also kindly rescued them and got part of the goods. There aren’t many.”
As a result, the perfumes, fragrances, facial cleansers and other items on the shelves in the Qiqi Pet Store have become even more popular.
Just a jade bottle as big as a knuckle, a bottle of perfume costs a hundred gold, and many people want it. Many people are still waiting for others to use it up, so they want the outer shell.
I don’t know how the packaging was made, how those words were printed on it. It can’t be wiped off. The images and words are printed on the packaging, which is lifelike, and there are also pictures of exotic beauties.
Do the beauties in Siam look like this and dress like this? Is this the word for Siam? Why is it the same as painting?
So funny.
Many people just grabbed the outer shell and didn't care what was inside. To see who buys the goods, they will recycle the outer shell at a high price. But those who have money can grab the goods, are they the ones who are short of money? Can I sell the shell for money?
Not short of money. Also lose face.
So he even grabbed his head. Even the outer shell has been sold to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The shopkeepers closed the shop in the evening, and people approached them while walking on the street to make friends, begging them to sell some goods to them. They didn't dare to go home and just slept in the store.
A thick box of gold and silver notes was delivered to the palace.
Cao Cuo and Fang Er were stunned when they saw it. Just two boxes of goods could be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! Be good!
Zhao Guangyuan turned over the banknotes in the box and was a little surprised. He had thought that it would sell very well, but he didn't expect it to sell so well.
Instructed Fang Er: "Tell the shop and the Jiang Mansion not to let anyone find out about the palace."
"Yes. Don't worry, Your Highness, my subordinates will sweep everything clean and no one will find out about His Highness."
Zhao Guangyuan nodded, he felt relieved when Fang Er did his work. Even Jiang Xiang's family may suffer more troubles.
Jiang Xiang is indeed troubled.
The ladies and ladies couldn't buy the goods, so they begged the gentlemen in the mansion to get close to Jiang Xiang. Jiang Xiang felt that he had more social activities these days, and people he knew and didn't know came to get close to him and called him. Mr. Jiang Ge.
Even the emperor was alarmed and sent him to the palace to specifically investigate the matter.
He must have been annoyed by the ladies in the harem.
"I heard that your tribe saved the merchants on the overseas merchant ship at sea and got this batch of goods?"
Jiang Xiang lowered his head and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I don't know the whole story. I only heard about it briefly..." Then he told the Zhizheng Emperor again what the Jiang family said to the outside world.
Emperor Zhengzhi was noncommittal, and Jiang Xiang had no control over whether he believed it or not. The clan's common affairs cannot be shouldered by him.
Now the emperor is wary of the Jiang family. Except for him and his eldest son Xu Yang, no one in the Jiang family has an official position. Even his son, who won the top prize in the lottery, is still sitting on the bench, and the Jiang family is not allowed to do any business. ?
In this court, which family does not have some business? The prince and the king of Qin and the king of Chu have less business in their hands?
Not to mention competing with the people for profit, there is no one named Jiang, there are also people named Shen, Yang, and Gu.
After replying, Jiang Xiang stood in the hall with his hands down, his eyebrows unchanged. Emperor Zhizheng glanced at him and then turned to the tiger sticker in his hand.
I heard that it is a good medicine from Siam. They say it is applied wherever it feels uncomfortable. Yesterday, he had someone put it on his lower back. He immediately felt that his waist was no longer sore or painful. Surprisingly easy to use.
There was no need to drink bitter medicine, apply it repeatedly, or worry about staining his clothes. As soon as he applied the medicine, he could see that it was really a good thing.
Is Siam so advanced and developed?
What if his country is strong and raises troops to invade?
Emperor Zhizheng stared at the shell of the tiger sticker and looked at the Siamese characters on it. It was very different from the Daqi characters, which was quite interesting to look at.
"Jiang Aiqing, do you think Da Qi's sea ban should not be banned?"
How dare Jiang Xiang respond to this?
In the early years, Daqi implemented a maritime ban, but the governments along the coast reported that no one was cultivating the cultivated land and had gone into business. Moreover, pirates and Japanese pirates were rampant and often violated the border. Later, the sea was closed.
As for whether to open a sea ban, there has been endless debate between the previous dynasties. Some people say that it should be opened, but many people are opposed to it, and there is no conclusion.
"The Emperor's Holy Heart is clear-cut, and I dare not speak nonsense."
Jiang Xiang did not dare to speak nonsense, but the next day the court was divided into two factions. Some said they wanted to open the sea, and some said they wanted to continue to ban the sea. Each of the two factions had their own reasons.
The reason for banning the sea is simply to fear that pirates and Japanese pirates will become rampant and disturb the people along the coast. Those who suggested opening the sea said that the country should not be closed off, but Siam overseas has developed like this. If the country becomes strong and invades with troops, will our small canoe be able to defeat their warships?
When the time comes to send the soldiers on board, they might get seasick and fight.
There was a lot of noise.
Zhao Guangyuan really didn't expect that he just wanted to make some money, so the court would discuss whether to open the sea or continue to ban it.
