What is even more surprising is that when the ladies and ladies who usually have no fingers in the spring water come out of the shop, they don't let the servants take the purchased goods. Instead, they hold them in their hands as if they have found a treasure. !
Although I don't know the weight of the goods, the wooden boxes of different sizes are already extremely heavy, and the items in the boxes are naturally even heavier. But the ladies and ladies, who usually have to take a breath after walking a few steps, struggled to hold the box and refused to let go. There was no trace of their ladylike appearance! This makes people even more guess what kind of goods are sold in this store!
This Jubaozhai is a store jointly opened by Emperor Wanli and Liu Haojia. This shop was originally a shop belonging to the inner court, but was transferred by Zhang Jia to the name of Emperor Wanli and handed over to Liu Haojia to manage.
After renovating it, he used it as a shop specializing in mirrors. There are all kinds of mirrors in the store, from book-sized hand-held mirrors to dressing tables with mirrors, to full-length mirrors as tall as a person! However, in order to maintain the price, Liu Haojia ordered the shopkeeper to sell only one full-length mirror per month based on the difficulty of making it, and to use bidding!
Now it seems that this shop must be successful, and as the ladies and ladies spread the word, the rush to buy is getting bigger and bigger, and the people who come to rush to buy almost block the entire long street! And the crowds are still growing!
The disturbances from the outside world were meaningless to Zhang Juzheng. It was already dark when he finished handling all his official duties in the Yamen! He rubbed his aching temples, stood up and moved his body to get ready to go home.
In his opinion, the entire Ming Empire was already a broken ship riddled with holes! As the prime minister of this empire, he wants to repair the ship without sinking it, which is also an extremely arduous task for him. So the end of every day's work would make him very tired.
When he regained consciousness, he couldn't help but feel a little hot when he thought of a new young lady in the house! Everyone in the world knows about Zhang Juzheng's illness, but when he reaches his position, it is an elegant thing for others to say that a powerful man must have great desires!
When Zhang Juzheng dragged his tired body back home, You Qi greeted him as soon as he entered the door. Zhang Juzheng looked at You Qi's distorted expression and asked strangely: "What happened?"
You Qi shook his head, opened his mouth and organized his words for a long time before saying: "I can't explain at the moment, I'd better take a look in person!"
Zhang Juzheng followed You Qi towards the inner house and said at the same time: "What can be so difficult for you to make you look like this?"
You Qi said: "Your Majesty sent someone to deliver a gift today. I decided to put it in the study."
Zhang Juzheng said dissatisfied: "It's just a gift, what kind of trouble can it cause? You actually lost your sense of proportion!"
You Qi still had a twisted look on his face and said nothing, and followed Zhang Juzheng straight to the study. When they arrived in front of the study door, You Qi pushed open the study door first. Zhang Juzheng raised his foot and stepped over the edge of the door. Out of the corner of his eye, he felt someone coming to greet him. When he looked up, he was startled! Because he saw a man standing in front of him!
Then he realized that this person was himself! It turns out that You Qi deliberately placed a huge full-length mirror opposite the door of the study, so when Zhang Juzheng entered the door, it was as if he saw someone walking towards him!
Zhang Juzheng calmed down in the blink of an eye and saw the whole story. He laughed twice, walked around the mirror three times, stood in front of the mirror and looked at his appearance again and again, and finally twirled his long beard and said with a smile: "What a good idea! What a good method!"
Next to him, You Qi saw that although Zhang Juzheng was speaking words of praise, there was clearly a wry smile on his face! It seems that he also figured out the whole story! You Qi even boldly guessed that Emperor Wanli sent this full-length mirror out of respect for his teachers, but perhaps it also meant to demonstrate to Zhang Juzheng!
At this time, Zhang Juzheng had had enough of looking at the mirror, glanced sideways at You Qi and said, "It seems you understand the key!"
You Qi said with a grimace: "Your Majesty, it's a good idea!"
Zhang Juzheng sighed and said: "Your Majesty is a student of the true nature. You know his true nature! I'm afraid this thing is still the handiwork of the second son of Gu Ningbo's house."
Of course You Qi knew what was going on, but he couldn't praise others in front of Zhang Juzheng. But he still said: "Master, Mr. Liu has opened a shop in Qipan Street called Jubaozhai, which specializes in selling this kind of mirrors! The villain sent someone to inquire about it today. The person who reported back said that those ladies and ladies almost I almost went crazy. I went out with the money to buy it. I don’t know how many mirrors I sold that day! The villain sent someone to inquire about the price and made an estimate. Jubaozhai received almost 30,000 taels of silver today!"
Zhang Juzheng is used to seeing money, but he was still shocked when he heard this figure! He thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to knock on the mirror and said, "It's normal for things made from Liuli to be a little more expensive! Now, Long Live Master has not only the money for the martial arts school, but also the money for daily nonsense! It's really a problem!"
You Qi blinked and said, "Then how are you going to deal with it?"
Zhang Juzheng smoothed his beard in front of the mirror and said: "I don't care about anything! He naturally has to settle the things he caused by himself!"
You Qi said: "But can they hold on to such a huge investment of wealth?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "Why can't we defend it? Who dares to snatch things from His Majesty's hands?"
You Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you clearly know what I mean!"
Zhang Juzheng sighed and said: "Not to mention those people, even I am a little jealous thinking about the money! Let's see how they deal with it! But I don't plan to say anything, let's see how far they can go Say it again!”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Juzheng looked at the mirror and said again: "You Qi, we only have one mirror in our house, it seems not enough! After this period of time, you go to Liu Haojia and ask him to send more mirrors!"
After hearing this, You Qi could only retreat with a helpless smile, leaving Zhang Juzheng looking at Zixiong in the mirror!
Zhang Juzheng's place has become quiet, and the back houses of various dignitaries and high-ranking officials in the city are not very quiet! When the male heads of each family return home and find one or more mirrors of different sizes in their home, they are still happy! After all, this kind of thing is very attractive to people who see it for the first time!
But when they learned that the price of some mirrors ranged from more than one hundred taels to several thousand taels, especially when they knew that their wife and daughter had each ordered a dressing table worth more than six thousand taels, their faces became even more expressionless. Wonderful!
