It turns out that Emperor Cangyu had a new idea in choosing the imperial merchant this time.
In the past, when selecting imperial merchants, most of the time the court would put forward a request, such as a certain kind of cloth, and then let all those who were qualified to participate in the competition produce a batch of this cloth, and then compare which one was more in line with the court's requirements in all aspects.
Require.
That is to say, in the past, the royal merchants must have been appointed by the imperial court.
This time there is still a request, but this time it is chosen by the people of Cangyu!
Cangyu is different from other countries. In other countries, there are generally many so-called imperial merchants, and each imperial merchant is responsible for undertaking a specific business.
As long as Cang Yu selects an imperial merchant, all business transactions of the imperial court within three years will be conducted with this imperial merchant!
The last time Cang Yu chose Huang Shang was ten years ago!
If you choose once, you can be an imperial merchant for three years.
Ten years ago, it was Su Mansion that finally became the Imperial Merchant.
But after that, Cang Yu didn't choose Huangshang for seven years.
This year the competition is about the popularity of tea!
Other competitors with their own well-known teas are boiling over.
They all feel that they have a good chance.
Although Su Mansion is the largest businessman in Cangyu, Su Mansion's industries cover a wide range of industries. They also do tea business, but they are not specialized in it!
As for tea, if your family has a big business and you make it look exquisite and expensive, others will like it.
For a kind of tea to become famous, it requires generations of accumulation or hard work, as well as talent.
Many famous tea making families have their own secret recipes!
All in all, tea cannot be made overnight!
The tea merchants were excited, and other participating merchants were also more confident.
The people were also excited.
Because I never thought that ordinary people like me would not only be able to participate in the selection of imperial merchants, but even have the right to decide!
Because this time, Emperor Cangyu said that he should understand what the people like, so the people's choice will determine the emperor's business!
What the common people are more excited about is not being able to participate in the choice, but the "linkage" between their Emperor and His Majesty, who truly loves the people like a son and cares about them!
The support for Emperor Cangyu rose to a new level in a short period of time.
Jiu'er stood aside, looking at the excited people who were extremely loyal to Emperor Cangyu, and clicked his tongue in his heart.
Banxia saw the sarcasm on Jiu'er's lips, and although she didn't want to remind Jiu'er, Banxia was a very sincere little girl.
"Young Madam, do you also want to go to Su Mansion's public tea shop to taste tea?"
Yes, the reason why Jiu'er lamented before that Wuhai Goddess took action so quickly was because now the people are still excited about something.
Recently, another person they love and support very much, Goddess Wuhai, actually went to the public tea shop in Su Mansion to taste tea!
This time, businessmen who have qualified to participate must choose a tea shop of their own in Kyoto as a public tea shop, allowing ordinary people who are willing to taste tea to taste tea for free.
When Banxia said this, Jiuer laughed out loud, "Banxia, you can really change the names you use to me at will."
Pinellia ternata feels aggrieved and in a dilemma.
The young master chose her to serve Miss Ajiu, so Miss Ajiu is her absolute master to whom she must be loyal.
Of course she has to think about Miss Ah Jiu.
But after all, she was still a member of the General's Mansion, and she still had to be loyal to the General's Mansion and the Young Master.
So she not only wanted to remind Jiu'er, but also used the title of Young Madam to help her young master!
For Ban Xia, who doesn't have too many twists and turns, this is a great way to take care of both sides.
Jiu'er thought Banxia was very cute and outspoken, and she liked it very much, so she smiled and said, "But, as long as you like it."
Madam, your focus is very biased!
I call you Young Madam because I want to remind you of the existence of the Young Master, and I want you to think of the Young Master more often!
Many people on the street flocked in one direction, "Wuhai Goddess is still in the public tea shop in Su Mansion. She has tasted it for so long, so she must like it very much."
"If the goddess likes it, it must be good. Let's go too!"
In fact, many ordinary people have never drank the expensive tea from Sujia Tea House.
Of course, they can't afford other people's expensive tea.
So everything was just hearsay, and there was really no comparison before.
The corners of Jiu'er's lips curled up with interest.
The current reputation of Wuhai Goddess is indeed echoed by hundreds of people. Her ability to carry goods is really powerful.
Judging from the competition format of Huangshang this time, it can indeed help Su Jingxing.
"Young madam?" Banxia called again.
"If we don't go," Jiu'er smiled, "If I, a witch, go, it will be in sharp contrast to the goddess Wuhai. They can help Su Jingxing, but if I go, it will ruin the scene."
Banxia protects the master very well, "In my heart, young lady, you are much better than the goddess Wuhai!"
Just as Jiu'er was about to speak, a sudden, crazy scratching cry sounded out of place amidst the hustle and bustle.
"Xiaohua, Xiaohua, where are you!!"
The woman's crazy cries were so harsh that many people around her heard her.
Soon, a thin woman with messy hair and a crazy look stumbled into the crowd.
She would grab anyone she saw and yell at the top of her lungs, "Have you seen the little flower? Have you seen my little flower?"
Just when no one knew what was going on, a slightly younger woman in commoner panting came after her.
As soon as the woman arrived, she hurriedly grabbed the crazy woman and hurriedly apologized to the people around her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My sister-in-law is mentally ill. I'll take her back now."
Who knew that the crazy woman was so powerful that she directly threw away the apologizing woman.
Then he started to pounce on the people around him, shouting with a ferocious face, "Where is the little flower? Where is the little flower?!!!"
The people around asked while avoiding, "Who is Xiaohua? Let the person named Xiaohua take your sister-in-law away. I think you are not strong enough to control your sister-in-law."
The younger woman smiled bitterly, "Xiaohua is my sister-in-law's daughter. To be honest with you, a few years ago, my man's brother died unexpectedly, leaving my sister-in-law and a ten-year-old daughter, Xiaohua, to depend on each other."
"Due to the death of my brother, my sister-in-law was stimulated and her brain began to get worse. Gradually, she had to see Xiao Hua whenever she was awake. No, when she woke up this morning, she didn't see Xiao Hua, so she went crazy and ran out again.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll take her back right now."
"He is also a poor man." Someone sighed.
"yes."
Some people were dissatisfied, "Since Xiaohua knows that her mother has such a problem, where did she go?"
The woman quickly explained, "Xiaohua has always been very filial and sensible. I think she saw my sister-in-law sleeping soundly and thought she would sleep for a while, so she went out to do some work. Thank you for your concern. Xiaohua will be back later. Sister-in-law
Naturally it will be fine.”
But having said that, the woman still couldn't get rid of the crazy woman.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaohua must have gone home and is eager to find you. Come back with me quickly!"
The crazy woman couldn't listen at all, or couldn't understand it.
As long as I don't see my familiar daughter in front of me, I will go crazy looking for Xiaohua everywhere.
"Let's help this eldest sister." Someone around decided to help. "Someone can find some rope."
There were still enthusiastic people, and soon someone found a rope, and several people worked together to tie up the crazy woman.
The crazy woman was still struggling desperately, "Little flower, little flower!"
In the end, he was tied up and was gradually brought out of the public eye by the young woman.
Some people sighed and some talked about it a few more times, but they quickly put it behind them. It was just a small episode.
There was also a heated discussion about the competition for imperial merchants.
Jiu'er frowned slightly and smelled an unusual smell.
"Let's go to Yiyi Bookstore." Jiu'er took Banxia and turned around to go to another street. (To be continued)
