A few days later, the envoys from various countries have returned to their respective countries.
They carried Li Shimin's reward and titles back to pay their respects.
The once bustling city of Chang'an suddenly became much depressed.
Since this time, he has been an emissary in more than 1,000 countries and regions.
The number of people they brought was about 20 from each country.
In this way, nearly 20,000 people visited Chang'an City to play and spend money.
They also bought many things.
Prepare to return to their respective countries.
And in Chang'an City, they also learned many principles of development.
In the future, they will use Chang'an as a model.
develop your own country.
After these people returned, they developed through the Shengtang Group's development methods.
After that, the world's economic size will move up to a higher level.
This is also the change that Shengtang Group has brought to the world.
When other countries become economically developed.
In turn, it will promote the development of Datang.
So complementary.
And because of the departure of these envoys, the originally bustling Tai Chi Palace became much quieter.
Cheng Yaojin entered the hall these days.
He bowed to Li Shimin.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin looked at him curiously.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty! There is an item that has become popular in Chang'an City recently. It can be said that more than three people have it!"
Li Shimin wondered what it was?
“What’s popular?”
"shoe!"
When Cheng Yaojin said this, Li Shimin became even more puzzled.
What’s so popular about these shoes?
It's just something worn on the feet.
Everyone needs it.
"Zhijie, are you sure you're not joking?"
Li Shimin smiled.
"Your Majesty! You don't know something. Recently, a large number of shoes have appeared in Chang'an City, and there are many types. I have counted nearly 10,000 types."
Li Shimin was even more puzzled.
"These shoes are only divided into men's shoes and women's shoes. How come there are 10,000 types? Did you hear wrongly?"
"Your Majesty! This is true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, let's go and have a look. There is a shoe store next to the tenement building. There are a lot of shoes sold there, all made by Shengtang Group."
"Then I want to see! What kind of thing is it? It can make 10,000 different styles of shoes."
"Yes! Then your Majesty, please go with me to have a look."
"Let's go!"
So the two of them disguised themselves and left the Tai Chi Palace.
Let’s go to the Shoe City mentioned by Cheng Yaojin.
When they arrived at the door of Shoe City, the outside was already crowded.
Everyone holds two or three boxes in their hands.
Some people even opened the box.
The shoes underneath were exposed.
At this time, Li Shimin saw what was in the box, which was shoes.
It's just that these shoes seem a little different.
There are only two straps on the huge sole.
So he grabbed the owner of the box, who was a middle-aged man.
he asks.
"Brother! What kind of shoes are these? Why are they so strange?!"
The man glanced at Li Shimin.
Look at him with a kind face.
The old man introduced it with interest.
"This is called a flip-flop! Look at the human-shaped laces and a plastic sole. It's convenient! The most important thing is that you can walk! It's very brisk."
Then he took off his boots and exposed his feet.
Weared directly onto the human drag.
And demonstrated it to Li Shimin.
"Don't you think? This thing is really wonderful. It's easy to wear and light. It's especially suitable for wearing in the shower. From now on, we don't have to go barefoot when taking a shower. We can wear flip-flops. And it's more comfortable in the summer.
, you don’t have to wear heavy boots anymore. Your feet won’t be abraded, and you won’t feel stuffy or sweaty.”
I have to say that under this person's demonstration, the human drag does have some effect.
He also said: "I really admire Shengtang Group and Mr. Tang for making such good-to-wear shoes!"
Then Li Shimin asked: "How much does this pair of shoes cost?"
The man said with a relaxed look: "A pair of flip-flops costs less than 20 yuan. The two pairs of shoes in my hand are more expensive. They cost about 100 to 200 yuan."
These three pairs of shoes cost less than one tael.
With such cheap shoes, does Shengtang Group really make money?
But Li Min said that he wanted to benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Maybe you won't make much money.
But he did what was beneficial to the people.
Li Shimin asked again: "It's so cheap. Is it durable?"
"I don't know if they are durable or not. Anyway, the clerk said that if the shoes are broken within a year, you can just replace them. It's such a good thing. It doesn't matter whether they are durable or not. If they are broken, just replace them.
You’ll have new shoes to wear as soon as you change them. Why not?”
Li Shimin was simply shocked. There was such an operation.
The man added: "Also, the quality of these shoes is very good, especially the soles, which are very hard. I will no longer have to worry about those sharp thorns passing through and hurting my feet when I work in the mountains."
Look, the soles of these shoes are so thick. If they were punctured, they wouldn't be able to wear them."
The more the man talked, the more excited he became.
Li Shimin was shocked and anxious when he heard this.
Because he also wanted to take a look inside.
So I said to the man: "Thank you very much! I will also go inside to buy one or two pairs."
"Then you have to hurry up, otherwise you'll be late.
I don’t have any pair of shoes. In the past two days, the Shoe Mall of Changchun Group was almost all sold out within two hours as soon as it opened. Because the shoes are cheap and there are many styles. There are more people coming to buy. Well, I won’t go into details. You go.
Take your pick."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he happily left with three shoe boxes.
Where were the only two people at the scene, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin, looking at each other?
"Come on, Mr. Huang! Let's go inside and have a look."
You can only know everything by looking at it.
So the two of them walked into the shoe city and walked all the way.
There are people everywhere, it feels like a vegetable market here.
And they also smelled a strange smell.
That's the rubber smell.
It comes from the shoes.
Because there were too many people, it was very inconvenient for them to move.
They walked straight. When they walked inside, they saw shoes piled high on the left and right, and a large number of salespersons shouting at them.
During the introduction, we also provided on-site foot measurement services.
And the correct shoe size is given.
Helped everyone put on their shoes.
At this time, someone shouted, and more people rushed in crazily.
The two of them followed the flow of people and walked inside.
I don’t know how long I walked before the crowds of people became slightly less.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Why are there so many people here?
Did everyone from Chang'an come here?
They looked at the street in front of them, as if they couldn't see the edge.
