The buildings in the capital are laid out based on a central axis that runs through the north and south. The Yongding Gate in the middle of the south of the outer city is the starting point of this central axis. The Bell and Drum Towers north of Di'anmen, the back gate of the imperial city, are the starting point of this central axis.
end.
The most magnificent buildings and scenes in the capital are all arranged on the basis of this main line, with some other arrangements and combinations on both sides, and some low, blue-gray courtyards are arranged around it.
Therefore, this main line is the liveliest and most prosperous main line in the entire capital. It is also the prime location of the entire capital. Compared with it, Chongnanfang, Zhengxifang, and Zhengdongfang are not on the same level.
Chongnanfang, Zhengxifang, and Zhengdongfang are the markets where ordinary people live. Although they are also very lively, most of the things in the markets here are very cheap, and most of the people who come in and out are ordinary.
Common people.
But these main lines are completely different. This is the most luxurious place in the entire capital. Most of the stores here are restaurants, high-end cloth stores, gold and silver jewelry stores, pawn shops, banks, etc., and the business is all
Only the rich and powerful in the capital can afford it.
At this time, there is a store on this main line. This store has three floors and covers a large area. At this time, all the windows on the upper and lower floors of the entire building are covered with red festive cloth, and the store door is also closed.
It was tightly closed, and people came in and out from time to time, carrying a large amount of goods. It seemed that the store was undergoing renovation construction.
In the store, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao walked around casually.
"Tsk, tsk~ Old Liu, that's okay. I really don't know what you have in your head, but you can think of such a novel method. Where is your store selling mirrors? This is so magnificent and magnificent, it feels even better than the palace.
It’s luxurious.”
Zhu Houzhao kept looking around the store with his little eyes.
The decoration in the store looks very luxurious, using a lot of gold and brass, and mirrors of various sizes and shapes are installed everywhere. Through the reasonable layout of these mirrors, it looks even more luxurious.
Brilliant.
"I've never been to the Imperial Palace, and I don't know what it's like, but the decoration of this store is just average, so you can still take a look."
Liu Jin smiled and said, "Actually, it didn't cost much. The gold and brass are very thin, and the mirror can reflect light, so it looks very magnificent."
"But this is also determined by our positioning needs. Our glass mirrors and glass products are sold to wealthy people. Naturally, this store cannot be too low-end. The decoration is more luxurious. When we sell things,
The price can naturally be higher, as the wool comes from the sheep."
Zhu Houzhao listened and watched at the same time. He now admired Liu Jin's business methods. During this period, just by releasing some mirrors in the market from time to time, the two of them had made more than 100,000 yuan.
Two silver coins.
A dressing table mirror sells for one thousand taels of silver, and every wealthy family in the capital is frantically looking for it, especially those whose daughters are about to marry, who are even more anxious.
As long as I heard it was in stock, I didn’t even ask about the price.
There is no way. Nowadays, this kind of mirror attached to the dressing table has become a necessity for wealthy families to marry their daughters. Without this thing, it will lose its class and lose its appearance.
Just by selling this, he has made more than one hundred thousand taels of silver from the glass business. Zhu Houzhao now has no doubt at all whether he can make millions of silver a year.
A pair of small eyes looked around the store carefully. There were many glass products in the store.
A dressing table with a washbasin-sized mirror is now a top product, and one costs one thousand taels of silver.
The mirror is the largest and longest full-length mirror and is framed by fine mahogany. There are unique landscape paintings painted by an artist on the north side. On the left and right sides of the front are engraved famous sayings: Use copper as a mirror to correct your clothes and use history as a mirror to know the rise and fall.
Full of style.
There is also the kind of small mirror embedded in the makeup box. This makeup box has a novel design and exquisite materials. When you open it, it becomes a mirror. You can look in the mirror and draw your eyebrows at any time. It is very convenient.
There are palm-sized small mirrors that can be carried around. The mirror can be opened by pressing a button, and there is a small box on the cover, which is easy to carry.
All kinds of mirrors are dazzling and dizzying, making people want to buy them all and treasure them carefully.
In addition to various mirrors, there are also a dazzling array of other glass products. There are wine glasses and wine bottles made of transparent glass. If you pour a glass of grape wine from the Western Regions, it will definitely be a luminous grape wine cup.
The tea cup is made of glass, very compact, and comes with a complete set of tea sets. This is definitely the first choice for tea lovers. If you don’t buy a set, drinking tea will lose a third of the taste.
In addition, all the windows in this store have been replaced with glass windows. Although they are covered by a cloth, as soon as the cloth is lifted and the sunlight from outside shines in, the whole house will be very bright. Compared with the window paper
If you open a window, the light will naturally be many times stronger, and the quality will be improved instantly. More importantly, you no longer have to worry about someone poking through the window paper to peek into the house.
There is a huge glass chandelier above the head. This chandelier looks very luxurious. Light some candles and it will instantly brighten the whole room. This is definitely the first choice to be placed in the living room or hall.
In addition to these things, there are also a dazzling array of glass statues of Guan Gong, God of Wealth, Guanyin, etc. Those who worship the gods will naturally want to buy one.
There are also treasures of the study room made of glass, brushes with glass pen holders, glass inkstones, glass pen holders, etc. Every scholar will buy a set when he sees them.
The twelve zodiac animal pendants, accessories, etc. made of glass are lifelike and extremely smooth. It is indispensable to buy one that matches your zodiac sign and wear it with you.
The entire store is very large, covering hundreds of square meters. It is now filled with all kinds of glass products. Even the cabinets here are made of glass, and the cabinets are filled with various exquisite carvings.
Finely crafted glass products.
Looking at the dazzling array of glass products in front of him, Zhu Houzhao's little eyes narrowed with joy, as if he saw countless pieces of white silver rolling towards him.
He patted Liu Jin on the shoulder and said: "Old Liu, you are still awesome. Once you enter this store, you will not leave without emptying your pockets."
