Restart the Disaster of Another World
Chapter 46 Shopping
"Qinglan, Ayao, second brother, you are finally here." Xuanyuan Ting said happily when he saw the three of them.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The three of them bowed in unison.
Xuanyuan Ting waved his hand, "No need to go through all this formality, sit down quickly, An Yi, bring up all the tea and snacks that we have prepared."
The three of them stood up and sat down as they were told, with each of the four sitting in a different position.
Seeing a familiar person, Xuanyuan Ting smiled and said, "It seems like when we were back in the village, we often sat like this."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Yeah, it would be even better if we could pick some cucumbers and tomatoes in the backyard as snacks."
Jing Yao smiled and said, "If you like to eat it, just grow some in your yard. You can have it whenever you want."
"Did Yao bring any seeds? We can't be partial to one and ignore the other!"
Jing Yao knew that he was trying to be nice and was happy to be close to him, so he said, "Okay, I'll prepare one for each of you when the time comes."
"Then I would like to thank A Yao."
Wen Yu asked, "How is your Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xuanyuan Ting glanced at Jing Yao and said, "It's all right now. I have to thank A Yao for his help this time, otherwise I might not be able to come back."
Talking about this experience, Xuanyuan Ting still feels a little scared when he thinks about it now. He has lived in the East Palace for a long time, relying on the eyes of his subordinates to see the outside world, and thinking that he can control the overall situation. However, after going out, he found that there is really little he can do. His subordinates are not like Kong Ming and Zhongmou, and many of their plans are full of loopholes. If it weren't for his teacher watching over him, he would not only fail to achieve anything when he came back this time, but would also be impeached by those ministers.
"Your Highness, we discovered some things when we went to the capital this time. A Yao and I have just arrived in the capital and are not familiar with the situation here. We don't know whether these things are facts or our speculations. Please take a look, Your Highness." Wen Yu took out the secret report they had written based on some of the situations they had discovered and the things they encountered on the road and handed it to him.
"The eldest prince, the fourth prince." Looking at what the letter said, Xuanyuan Ting's face became solemn. He didn't know that his good brothers actually had such a close relationship with those ministers in the court, and were also related to the underworld organizations that wanted to kill his life several times. It already seemed clear who really wanted him dead.
"Has Your Highness the Crown Prince met the Fourth Prince after returning to the palace?" Jing Yao suddenly asked.
Xuanyuan Ting didn't know why he asked that, but he shook his head truthfully: "No, I didn't see him at the dinner, and I didn't see him when they came to the East Palace to pay me a visit the next day. But when they sent me a gift and I heard that he was sick, I didn't pay much attention to it."
Seeing that Jing Yao was thinking but didn't answer, Xuanyuan Ting continued, "The fourth prince was raised by a palace maid when he was young, but she wasn't very attentive to him. He has always had poor health since he was a child."
Jing Yao thought for a moment and finally spoke out his guess: "That day I shot and wounded the man who led the siege on you with an arrow. After I took you away, an army appeared in that place, but they were not soldiers from the imperial city, but troops stationed outside the city. They were at least five miles away from where you had the accident. I don't know why they suddenly appeared there, but they cleaned up the mess, and the caravans that passed by that road later didn't find anything unusual."
Xuanyuan Ting's expression suddenly changed: "City Guards."
Jing Yao shook his head. He didn't know the defense structure of the city, nor did he know their scope of responsibility. He didn't know whether those people should be in charge of those things. He just raised his doubts. "After I separated from you, I returned to the city along the official road. Nothing happened along the way, but I remember when I went there, I heard the soldiers at the city gate say that there were three princes to greet you, but only the eldest and second princes returned with you. No one mentioned the fourth prince."
Xuanyuan Ting was surprised: "You mean."
Jing Yao nodded. "If the Fourth Prince was not in such poor health, then it would be understandable for him to go out to greet you. Since he was not in good health, you would not blame him if he did not go. Why did he go but did not show up? He was open when he went and even let the soldiers at the city gate check him, but no one knew when he came back."
Xuanyuan Ting was silent.
Jing Yao continued, "The wound I shot was attached with something special. It won't heal in a short time, and the medicines needed are also very expensive. There is one medicine that is not so common, but it is needed in large quantities."
Jing Yao took out a plant, it was a purple grass called purple orchid, which was very effective in relieving the pain caused by burns.
Xuanyuan Ting took it and said, "Thank you, Ayao, for reminding me. I will investigate it carefully."
Jing Yao nodded and stopped talking.
"This time when I left the capital, I saw a side of the north that I had never heard of before. I knew that many people were living in dire straits. I wanted to change them, so I did this." Xuanyuan Ting asked in confusion.
Jing Yao said: "We can take a long-term view and make it happen from both the agricultural and industrial aspects."
Xuanyuan Ting was very interested and asked, "How to do it?"
"Just like us, if we want to get rich, we must first have output, and then develop trade and introduce imports to speed up production. This cannot be accomplished in a day or two, we need to develop slowly." Jing Yao actually sympathized with the people in the north, but the current situation could not be changed by him alone. Only those at the top of the pyramid could change the world. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had this idea, so there is hope for the future.
"Agriculture and industry." Xuanyuan Ting thought of what Jing Yao had done in Wenjiabao. Those things did change the local people.
"The north is too far away, and it is not easy for Your Highness the Crown Prince to intervene directly, which would displease His Majesty. But we can develop some things in Shangjing first. I have several technologies here that can be implemented here." Jing Yao took out the plan he had prepared and handed it over.
Xuanyuan Ting took it and unfolded it with great interest. "These things can indeed attract a lot of attention. What do you want?"
This kind of glass has a wide range of uses. It can be used to decorate windows and made into a variety of exquisite utensils. In addition, it can be processed into various exquisite ornaments. Its crystal clear beauty has attracted many rich daughters and ladies. In addition to being worn and enjoyed, these ornaments can also be displayed as precious collections. However, due to limited production, market demand far exceeds supply, resulting in a shortage of finished products.
The wine and various fine wines he brewed were also very popular. Especially the unique floral fragrance was deeply loved by ladies and young ladies. Even the cosmetics derived from it, such as lipstick and rouge, were bound to become the object of everyone's pursuit.
In this era, most of the papers circulating on the market showed a dark yellow hue, rough texture, and even a bit rough. Not only that, these papers are also prone to ink bleeding. If you write or apply with a little force, the ink will spread quickly.
However, even this poor quality paper was expensive. One dao (usually one hundred sheets) of such ordinary yellow paper often cost several taels of silver, which was actually a relatively low price. The price of slightly better quality paper was even higher, which was prohibitive.
Because of the high price, although paper has been invented, it has not really been popularized in people's lives. Ordinary people are still cautious about using paper for writing and painting. After all, such consumption is not something they can easily afford.
However, with the advancement of science and technology and the development of technology, modern papermaking technology has made great breakthroughs. Today's paper mills can produce a wide variety of high-quality papers. For example, this product called bamboo paper is made from bamboo and undergoes multiple fine processing steps. Its surface is as white as snow, its texture is tough and durable, and it has good ink resistance and is not easily stained or scratched by ink. In addition, there is a special kind of hard paper that is often used to make packaging materials for high-end products such as perfumes. Its hardness and texture are first-class.
Jing Yao has all these technologies, and he can also produce the equipment created by the craftsmen in this world.
Seeing him say this, Jing Yao knew that he was willing to invest, and said with satisfaction: "It will take a lot of effort to realize all these technologies. Your Highness the Crown Prince has worked very hard to find people and land, so I only want 30% of the dividends in the future."
Xuanyuan Ting smiled and said, "No problem."
Afterwards, the two of them designed and planned these plans in detail. Wen Yu could discuss with them from time to time, while Wen Qun could only eat quietly on the side. After finishing the discussion,
Everyone knows that new models will be released every month. On the 1st, everyone wants to grab the first quota, because only 10 quotas are open every day. After 10 days, there will be unlimited purchases in the next month. This month, all purchases are limited. Therefore, only 300 people can have this thing in the first month. It seems that 300 quotas are not a small number, but there are only 300 people in a weak process. How much input is that? So everyone, some people even waited at the door and waited until the 30th to start directly.
But there is a curfew in the capital, so the people who can reach such a high place the fastest are definitely relatively few, but many people live in the performance, and the inns and restaurants nearby are even more crowded. Every time at this time, many people come directly to book a room, and then some of the people around are ashamed,
Jing Yao and Wen Qun came to the main street, which is the most prosperous street in Shangjing City. The purpose of their coming here is to buy some gifts to take back to the villagers. They walked and strolled, bought many things along the way, and asked people to deliver them to their homes.
When they arrived at a silver shop, Jing Yao pulled Wen Qun inside, wanting to see the differences between the jewelry from Shangjing and those from Lin'an.
As soon as I walked in, I saw the owner of the jewelry store nodding and bowing to these young ladies and gentlemen, but those men did not look very satisfied. It was obvious that these things did not bother them.
When the boss saw Jing Yao and Wen Qun come in, he just told them to look around and continued to entertain the other distinguished guests.
The boss was busy, so Jing Yao and Wen Qun didn't pay attention. They looked around and saw a row of hairpins. Jing Yao took one out and handed it to Wen Qun, "Do you like it?"
Wen Qun nodded as soon as he saw it, "I like it."
It was a silver-white hairpin made in the shape of a bamboo. Jing Yao thought it was very unique. "Qun Qun, try this one."
As she said this, she inserted the hairpin into Wen Qun's head and found it very beautiful and she was very satisfied.
Wen Qun also touched the hairpin on her head and gave Jing Yao a big smile.
The two of them were looking at each other, so naturally they didn't notice that someone they had met once in the corner noticed them.
Jing Yao and Wen Qun continued to look at other jewelry, but seeing that the boss was still busy, they did not continue to choose. The other two looked for a while, picked out a lot of things, and then asked the boss to settle the bill. "Boss, please settle the bill."
Jing Yao's voice attracted many people's attention, but he didn't care and still looked indifferent.
The boss came over and saw that they had chosen so many things. He quickly calculated the prices, happily settled the bill and packed the things for them.
Carrying the big bag, the two wanted to leave, but suddenly one of the young men said, "Wait."
Everyone turned their eyes away. The young man smiled and said to the boss, "Boss, someone stole things from your store."
Everyone was very confused as to who had stolen the thing. Then they saw him looking at Jing Yao and Wen Qun, looking at the bamboo-shaped hairpin.
"It seems that the hairpin on Shuang'er's head has not been paid for yet."
Wen Qun touched the hairpin on her head and felt a little flustered. It seemed that they had forgotten about it.
When the boss saw it, he immediately thought about it and realized that he had not included the hairpin when he settled the bill just now, so he really didn't pay for it.
