Chapter 586: Wealth Password
The Great Qi Dynasty is going to draft, and only the daughters of officials of the fifth rank or above in the imperial court are eligible to enter the palace to participate in the election, and there is no limit to the number of people.
The ministers in the DPRK were all so excited. They didn't expect that the emperor would not limit the number of candidates from each family in this draft!
Then they have to send all the girls of the right age in the family!
The more you go, the greater your chance of being selected.
The girls of the right age were all extremely excited. They heard that the current emperor was only in his early thirties and was extremely handsome. There was no man more handsome than him in the capital. Who wouldn't want to marry such an emperor?
Therefore, in order for their daughters to quickly attract the emperor's attention after entering the palace, each family tried their best to buy all kinds of clothes and jewelry for their daughters.
At this moment, a shop called Caizhuangge suddenly opened in the capital.
The products sold here are all rouge and gouache for girls and good beauty and skin care products.
It is said that when the rouge and gouache in that shop is used on the face, it can not only instantly make the face look delicate and fair, as if it is already like this, but it can also nourish the skin at all times. As time goes by, the skin will become more and more beautiful.
good.
As for those beauty and skin care products, they are even more amazing. I heard that the niece of Mrs. Jiang’s family had a pimple on her face for some reason a few days ago and was worried about things that might affect her entry into the palace. Unexpectedly, a servant in the family bought it.
I sent the beauty elixir from Cai Zhuang Pavilion, but Miss Jiang only used it once. Not only did all the pimples on her face disappear, but she also became a lot whiter.
The Jiang family immediately sent people to buy them, intending to buy all the beauty pills in the shop. Unexpectedly, they refused to sell them, saying that the items were limited and one person could only buy ten pills. Moreover, the quantity was limited, and whoever came first would get it.
.
So the girls from each family couldn't sit still and immediately sent someone to buy it. But they felt something was wrong, so they went to the door themselves.
When I went to the place, I saw Mrs. Jiang's niece in the shop, trying to get hold of the shopkeeper to buy more things.
When the girls saw Miss Jiang's face, which was as white as a peeled hard-boiled egg, they were immediately excited and rushed to buy the beauty elixir.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Ladies, the number of beauty pills is limited. There are only less than a hundred pills today. Ten pills for each person is definitely not enough. How about buying less pills for each person?"
A well-connected girl raised her almond eyes and said, "That's not possible! You have set the rule that each person can only buy ten pieces. Since we are here, we naturally have to buy them all at once. This is my money, pack it for me.
Ten!"
Another girl did her job and slapped a money bag on the counter, "You are the only one who has the money? Shopkeeper, here is the silver to buy fifteen pieces. I want ten pieces. If you have more, I will reward you."
"
Another girl squeezed in, and slapped her money on the counter with great wealth: "Double the price!"
The shopkeeper looked like he was jealous of the money, so he immediately took the beauty pill and offered it to him.
At this time, another girl appeared and held him down: "I haven't made an offer yet!"
Not to be outdone, the other girls squeezed in and said they were not short of money.
After these girls grabbed the goods and left, the shopkeeper almost smiled.
Miss Jiang said happily: "Shopkeeper Su, how did I perform?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "You performed very well, Miss Jiang, this is your reward today."
The reward is five beauty pills.
After Miss Jiang took it, she leaned on the counter and whispered: "When you go into the palace to pay the bill to the Queen, please tell me not to choose me. I don't want to enter the palace. The Emperor only loves the Queen."
One person, if I am elected, I will not be able to live as a widow for the rest of my life. It’s terrible.”
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of this. I will definitely convey Miss Jiang's wishes to the empress."
After hearing this, Miss Jiang smiled happily and said goodbye.
As soon as she left, the shopkeeper turned to the backyard with the account book in hand.
"Master, this method of yours is really useful!"
The shopkeeper put the account book in front of Su Qin and laughed so hard, "Those wealthy ladies are following the devil and taking out a lot of money. If this continues, we can sell this batch of beauty pills."
The sky-high price means that this year’s military expenditure will be settled.”
Su Qin took the account book, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, let's prepare some elixirs with other effects, such as Xiangtifan, breath freshening elixirs, Wufa pills, etc. Cosmetics would be even better.
Once it’s done, get more different colors, give it a nice name, and market it, so you don’t have to worry about selling it.”
"There are also all kinds of precious fabrics and jewelry that can be used."
The shopkeeper's eyes shone, as if he had heard the wonderful sound of a lot of silver colliding together.
Su Qin was a little helpless. After she established a kingdom, the head of the Thousand Stars Sect still had to waste his brains to make money. If the news spread, it would make people laugh.
But what can she do?
Da Qi is actually an empty frame now. Because it is exempt from taxes, the court has no income at all and relies on the money she robbed from the Dog Emperor.
But it is definitely not possible to just rest on our laurels, so we must find other ways to develop.
Don't those old guys want to send their daughters to the palace to enjoy happiness? Then let them shed their skin first.
She felt extremely happy when she thought about the expressions on those old guys' faces when they knew she had fallen into trouble.
"Go back and open some branches in other prefectures and pay attention to quality control, you know? We want to be a conscientious brand and never cheat the poor!"
The shopkeeper almost laughed out loud: "Yes, boss!"
In fact, the cost of these things sold at sky-high prices is really not worth mentioning. They are just things made by using the wild flowers and grass in their elixir valley.
As for expensive fabrics and jewelry, the same principle applies.
Although jewelry is not produced in the Spiritual Medicine Valley, it is not easy for a group of monks to get some jewelry. How many fist-sized pearls can be caught by diving into the sea?
To ordinary people, these things are valuable.
To their monks, it is not as good as a low-grade spiritual stone.
The leader has set a rule to exchange jewels for spiritual stones. The more jewels you find, the higher the level of the spiritual stones you get. Therefore, the disciples in the Spiritual Medicine Valley have no time to care about their cultivation these days and are running around looking for treasures.
Su Qin couldn't help but twitch her lips when she thought of the money-obsessed looks of her disciples.
What a mess!
Here in the Spiritual Medicine Valley, Su Qin was trying every means to "scoop" the wealth of the capital, and the ministers were also making every effort to send their daughters to the palace.
Finally, after so many calls, the day of the draft finally arrived.
The beautiful ladies, who had been nourished by the beauty elixir and were radiant, lined up in carriages and entered the palace gate.
