The tourists who came to Yizhou this time had a great time in Yizhou.
Had it not been for the approaching end of the year, they would have been reluctant to leave.
And even if I leave, I will bring back a lot of new year's goods.
It has to be said that Yizhou is now not only a tourist city, but also the products here are all top-notch.
For example, if you come to Yizhou for the delicious food here, can you not bring some delicious food back with you to share with your relatives and friends?
For example, the glassware here is cheaper than in other places. Can you not take some back with you?
There are also small mirrors, cosmetics and the like!
Well, it is true that Li Min signed a treaty with the five surnamed Qiwang and other aristocratic families.
Li Min was not allowed to sell mirrors outside Yizhou, and other places were the business territory of the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
But now, the King of Shu really does not sell mirrors outside Yizhou. He sells mirrors here in Yizhou.
This makes the five surnames and Qiwang really feel so miserable that they cannot express their feelings.
How much did they pay for the mirror business?
Before the railway was built, they traveled through mountains and rivers, worked hard and spent countless manpower, material and financial resources, but in the end they failed to transport the mirror.
What happened next? In order to transport the mirrors, they spared no expense and effort, and finally built the railway.
Now that the mirror could finally be transported, people from the aristocratic families such as Wu and Qiwang originally thought that their opportunity to make a lot of money had come.
Unexpectedly, after they had just completed the layout, they had already done preliminary publicity.
But before they can sell much, Yizhou has already developed a tourism industry.
A large number of tourists entered Yizhou and discovered that the mirrors sold here were much cheaper than those sold by famous families such as Wu Xing Qi Wang.
These tourists are not fools. Since there are cheap ones here, why would they buy yours again?
This can't help but make the five surnames and seven look at those people from aristocratic families and want to cry without tears.
But there was no way to accuse the King of Shu, because he did not violate Qian Ding's contract at all.
Fortunately, the King of Shu was a kind man, and the price they sold in Yizhou was still higher than the price given to them.
For example, the wholesale price given to them is 400 cents per mirror.
The price sold by the King of Shu in Yizhou must reach 500 cash or more.
In this case, there is still room for people from aristocratic families such as Wu surname and Qi Wang.
As long as they adjust the price to the same price as in Yizhou after they return, they can still sell it.
Although the profit is lower, there is still profit.
But this is completely different from the profit expected by the Five Surnames and Qiwang Family.
This can't help but make people with the five surnames and Qi Wang feel itching with hatred.
When doing business with the King of Shu, you really need to be cautious.
Otherwise, if he was sold to someone that day, I'm afraid he would still have to count the money!
And as the New Year approaches, those tourists finally leave one by one.
Only a handful of people choose to live in Yizhou and decide to celebrate the New Year here.
…
As the New Year approaches, factories shut down and the people of Yizhou, who have been busy for a year, can finally relax and start preparing for the New Year.
Many people were wearing new clothes.
It has to be said that since the Governor took office, the lives of almost all the people in Yizhou have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Even for the lonely elderly people who have no labor force, before the New Year, the government sends them oil, salt, rice and noodles, which is enough for them to have a good New Year.
And those people who are in good health have no worries about finding a job. After a year, everyone in the family has saved a little money.
And after having three new types of crops, they don't have to worry about their future lives.
This gives them the confidence to spend money.
Many people have put on new clothes.
Of course, there are also those stingy people who are reluctant to change into new clothes. Of course, those are the minority after all.
As the New Year approached, Wu Meiniang finally stopped busy and returned to the Shu Palace to prepare for the New Year.
At this time, Li Min was a little nervous.
Because this time when he returned to Yizhou, he brought Princess Qin Mengxin with him.
However, during this period of time, Li Min was very busy with railway and tourism promotion, so he somewhat neglected Qin Mengxin.
Fortunately, Qin Mengxin was very sensible and knew that Li Min was busy with business, so he never meant to blame him.
The relationship between Xue Xiaoxiao and Qin Mengxin has always been good. After Qin Mengxin arrived, the two women had company and would not be lonely.
As for Qin Mengxin and Wu Meiniang, the two women have always been at odds.
Normally, Wu Meiniang was so busy managing the Zhonghua Commercial Bank that she had no time to return to the Prince of Shu's palace.
Li Min was not afraid of any conflicts between them.
But now that the New Year is approaching, Li Min can't help but worry about whether there will be any conflict between the two women.
After all, Qin Meng's heart couldn't be touched.
And Wu Meiniang is even more like a woman than a man.
If they get into trouble, Li Min will really have a headache during the Chinese New Year.
And amidst Li Min's worries, the two women finally met.
After meeting, Qin Mengxin walked towards Wu Meiniang calmly, said with a deep blessing to Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, you have helped His Highness do so many things and relieve His Highness' stress. Thank you, sister!"
Seeing Qin Mengxin's actions, Wu Meiniang was shocked at first, and the corners of Xu'er's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Before coming here, Wu Meiniang had thought about various scenarios that would happen after they met.
For example, no one pays attention to anyone.
For example, the princess would embarrass her and make sarcastic remarks.
But no matter what the situation is, Wu Meiniang will not be afraid.
She will never bow her head in this confrontation.
Because she knew very well that if she bowed her head this time, she might have to bow her head for the rest of her life.
What she never expected was that their meeting would lead to such a scene.
Princess, she actually took the initiative to salute to me.
Wu Meiniang quickly helped the princess up and said quickly: "Princess, get up quickly, I can't bear it."
Qin Mengxin smiled and patted Wu Meiniang's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, do you still call me Princess?"
Wu Meiniang blushed, and then shouted softly: "Sister!"
Qin Mengxin chuckled, then she held Wu Meiniang in one arm and Xue Xiaoxiao in the other and said, "Let's go home, sister."
The words "let's go home" almost made Wu Meiniang cry again.
Li Min looked on with a cold eye and realized that the three women were not acting deliberately, but were really getting along well with each other.
This result made Li Min very satisfied.
In fact, in the original historical trajectory, Wu Zetian would be so cold-blooded and murderous.
It is caused by many reasons, and the way others treat her will account for a relatively large aspect.
And if everyone around her is kind to her, is she born to be a cruel and murderous person?
Obviously, this is not the case!
Moreover, Li Min is currently just the King of Shu, not the emperor, and will not be involved in the fight between princes, which is a life-or-death struggle.
Li Min believed that under such circumstances, Wu Meiniang would not fall into any unscrupulous internal fighting.
