As the shout of 'The imperial edict has arrived' was heard, the people and businessmen gathered on the street all looked over.
A pair of eyes looked curious and even more shocked.
As the leader of the Loyalty Alliance, Bai Youyou is a very famous heroine, although she is influential. However, Bai Youyou currently only does some business selling briquettes and coal stoves, and there was an imperial edict.
Is there any operation like this?
Is the imperial edict a joke?
Doesn’t the emperor’s imperial edict require money?
Many people were shocked, but their eyes looked at Bai Youyou differently, with more awe.
After a while, a Xuanjia Army soldier came over with an imperial edict in his hand and said loudly: "Bai Youyou accepts the edict!"
"The daughter of the people takes the order!"
Bai Youyou immediately answered loudly.
She felt sweet in her heart because in the sales plan drawn up by Zhao Shan, there was no plan for Zhao Shan to issue a decree. Unexpectedly, when it was almost over, another imperial edict from Zhao Shan came.
The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree. Bai Youyou of the Loyalty Alliance is devoted to the people. His loyalty is commendable, and he will be given the title of 'Chivalrous Businessman'."
Wow! !
There were once again shocked voices all around. The 'chivalrous businessman' granted by the emperor was equivalent to the emperor's Chrysostom certification.
This is a heaven-defying reward.
Any businessman who has a relationship with the emperor becomes different. He can be said to be an imperial businessman. In addition, Wei Polu just sent a plaque, which all shows Bai Youyou's influence.
Among the merchants who were watching, some who had ideas about briquettes and coal stoves completely stopped.
To provoke people who are related to the emperor is like hanging someone who thinks his life is too long.
Bai Youyou heard the discussions of the people around her, accepted the imperial edict honestly, hung up the plaque sent by Wei Polu, sent Wei Polu away, and announced the sale.
In the shop, a shopkeeper has been found long ago, and there are enough people to be responsible for introduction and sales.
After all, the Loyalty League is full of people.
Even if there are a lot of people buying, we can still handle it.
Bai Youyou has been sitting in the shop. From morning to noon, there are many people coming to buy. There was a period of free time after noon. Bai Youyou took advantage of the free time to eat and rest, and found that the number of people coming to buy suddenly increased.
Even though Bai Youyou prepared enough coal stoves and briquettes, they were all sold out in the afternoon, and only reservations were accepted.
The crowd was electric all afternoon.
In the evening, the shop closed, and Bai Youyou asked someone to count the data. After half an hour, everything was counted. Bai Youyou looked at the statistical data and became completely excited.
Even though she was prepared, knew that there were many people coming to buy, and knew that briquettes could make money, she did not expect so many people to buy.
Bai Youyou hurried to the backyard and saw Zhao Shan warming himself up by the fire. He said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the sales on the first day are out. Guess how much we sold on the first day?"
Zhao Shan asked: "How many are there?"
Bai Youyou did not say directly, but said: "Your Majesty, guess what?"
Zhao Shan thought about it carefully and replied: "briquettes and coal stoves are not luxuries, they are used by ordinary people. There were many people buying them on the first day, and the sales were worth a few thousand taels at most."
"This is not a business to get rich suddenly, but it is better than a steady flow of water, and it is better than a huge consumption every day."
"When people get used to it and are willing to use briquettes, more people will buy it. In the future, the scope will be expanded to include places like Youzhou and Jizhou, and even other states, and that's when the big money will be made."
Zhao Shan made an estimate and asked, "Do you have three thousand taels of silver?"
Bai Youyou replied: "Your Majesty, there are more than 1,640 taels of silver, more than 26,000 coal stoves sold, and countless briquettes. Of course, the people did not buy much, and many of them were seen by big businessmen. Business opportunities can be booked directly.”
"Compared with the big businessman's salt and iron tea business, we don't make much money, but I am really excited."
"This is my own money."
“It’s a cornucopia of energy that keeps making money.”
Bai Youyou was in high spirits and further said: "When it is supplied to the entire Youzhou, countless people will consume briquettes, and the daily sales will be a huge amount. It is exciting to think about it."
Zhao Shan poured cold water and said: "Yuyou, no one is involved in briquettes for the time being. It is an emerging industry. However, the manufacturing threshold of briquettes is not high, and imitators will soon appear."
"In addition, briquettes cannot be transported over long distances, and they will become useless if they break apart due to bumps."
"To expand the scope, for example, in other counties, we need to arrange people to go to various places to set up sales and manufacturing points for briquettes."
“It’s localization of transportation decisions.”
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "We must pay close attention to the cultivation of talents and send them to various places in batches."
Bai Youyou nodded hurriedly.
yes!
This is just the beginning, there is still so much to do.
Bai Youyou said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will quickly complete the expansion and transformation. There are many people in the Loyalty Alliance, so it will be easier to handle it if there are people."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "As long as you understand, it's been a hard day, so go to bed early."
Bai Youyou was very tired, but very excited.
She was not sleepy at all, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Zhao Shan was full of gratitude, and there was something else in it. Bai Youyou leaned against Zhao Shan, stretched out her charming silky hand, gently crossed Zhao Shan's cheek, and then placed it on his chest to draw circles.
Bai Youyou said softly: "Your Majesty, thank you."
Zhao Shan's eyes became more playful and he asked with a smile: "How do you want to thank me?"
Bai Youyou said: "How can your Majesty thank you?"
She leaned on Zhao Shan, not satisfied with the current circle drawing, and was constantly exploring more.
Zhao Shan hugged Bai Youyou and said with a smile: "Tonight, let's challenge other postures."
"Stay with me to the end!"
Bai Youyou was in high spirits, as if she planned to fight Zhao Shan for a long time.
Zhao Shan picked up Bai Youyou and carried him to the room. After a while, hesitating sounds came from the room.
A charming atmosphere filled the air, and the entanglement between the two figures was extremely passionate. Under the backdrop of the oil lamp, they kept changing their positions.
After a long, long time, everything was calm.
Bai Youyou's excitement was vented. She rested for a while, recovered from the afterglow, and said softly: "Your Majesty, with the help of the Chief Guard, the sales of the briquettes and coal stoves of the Loyalty League will definitely become better and better."
"I will urge the craftsmen to continue to improve and continuously improve the quality of coal stoves and briquettes. As long as we continue to improve, we will definitely be accepted by countless people."
"I have nothing to do here."
"From my own heart, I hope that your majesty will stay in Youzhou every day. Your majesty is here, and I will be happy every day."
"But your Majesty is the emperor."
"There are too many things in Daqian that need to be handled by His Majesty, and there are too many government affairs that require His Majesty's coordination."
Bai Youyou's eyes were filled with reluctance, but she said: "Your Majesty must return to Luoyang after all. He cannot stay in Youzhou forever. When does your Majesty plan to return to Luoyang?"
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't neglect government affairs. It's just that I'm not in a hurry for the time being, I still want to fish."
"fishing?"
Bai Youyou looked confused, not understanding what Zhao Shan meant, and asked: "Your Majesty wants to go fishing, go back to Luoyang to find a pond, or go fishing by the river. Why fish in Youzhou?"
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Silly girl, you are fishing to catch fish with ulterior motives."
Bai Youyou suddenly understood.
Her eyes were tense and she said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you mean that someone might be harmful to Your Majesty?"
Zhao Shan replied: "I killed Gongsun Yuan, it is impossible that there will be no news. In addition, it is not a secret that I went north. Maybe the news about me spread as soon as I left Luoyang. So wait a little longer, whether it is the Northern Wei Dynasty or Jizhou Zhao Fan, the king of Wei, I want to test their situation."
Bai Youyou warned: "Your Majesty must not be careless."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "I know, and Wei Polu and I have already discussed this matter. In two days, I will take Wei Polu to inspect the place and lure out anyone who may be secretly involved."
Bai Youyou couldn't get involved in these things, so she told Zhao Shan to pay attention to safety and didn't ask any more questions.
The two talked for a while and gradually fell asleep.
…
In Jicheng, there is a house in the west of the city.
This house is small, very remote, and dilapidated, and few people come here.
The backyard of the house is clean and tidy.
A middle-aged man in a fur robe was standing near the brazier to warm himself up, looking deep in thought.
boom! boom! !
There was a knock on the door, and the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly opened, a glimmer of light flashed, and he ordered: "Come in."
The door was pushed open with a creak.
A warrior in black walked in and saluted: "Master Tuoba, we found traces of Zhao Shan. He is in Bai Youyou's shop in the city."
The middle-aged man's name is Tuoba Jian, who is Tuoba Shao's second brother.
Tuoba Shao has been holding back his hatred because of his son's death, but Tuoba Jian is unwilling and wants to avenge his dead nephew Tuoba Lie.
When the news of Zhao Shan's northward journey reached the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Jian rushed to Jixian day and night and hid quietly in the city.
When Gongsun Yuan wanted to kill Zhao Shan, Tuoba Jian thought about taking action, but held back because he didn't know Zhao Shan's power.
After Gongsun Yuan was killed, Tuoba Jian discovered that Zhao Shan was very powerful in Xuannv Sect, and Bai Youyou was difficult to deal with, so he hid and continued to wait to further confirm Zhao Shan's whereabouts and news.
Now it is finally confirmed that Zhao Shan is in Bai Youyou's shop.
Tuoba Jian said: "Bai Youyou's martial arts is very strong, and there are many masters of the Loyalty Alliance in the shop. It will be very difficult to kill Zhao Shan. You continue to keep an eye on Zhao Shan's whereabouts. Once Zhao Shan leaves the shop and acts alone, , report it immediately and we will take action quickly."
"As you command!"
The man in black left in a hurry.
Tuoba Jian's eyes showed murderous intent, and he murmured: "Zhao Shan, I will definitely let you pay with blood. Kill my nephew and the young commander of the Sirius Army. If I don't kill you, it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart."
"If you die, I will capture Bai Youyou. After the chaos in Daqian, my army from the Northern Wei Dynasty will invade southward and rush into Luoyang, snatching away all your women and making you pay the price."
"Hahaha……"
"Zhao Shan, you will pay the price."
Tuoba Jian's eyes were full of madness. He came here for revenge and wanted Zhao Shan to pay with his blood.
