Du He hurriedly said: "Queen, all this you have done is not to make money, but for two great purposes. First, as the mother of a country, you take the lead in promoting frugality and save the idle people in the harem.
The purpose of gathering together to engage in production such as weaving and painting is to make everyone realize that a porridge and a meal are hard-earned. The palace does not support idlers, but it will not ruthlessly drive everyone away. Secondly, the queen does this
, but for the consideration of the people all over the world, 10% of the money earned from the production and sale of items in the harem will be donated to the disaster-stricken state capital. The queen did this for the poor people!"
While everyone was still confused, Empress Changsun had already understood that she was making money in the name of donating money to the people of the world and streamlining the living expenses of the harem.
"Okay! Du He, your method is very good! However, I don't know whether it will succeed or not. Why not give it a try in two months!" Empress Changsun said happily.
Du He shook his head: "Queen, this matter should be done sooner rather than later, sooner rather than later. Therefore, I propose that the queen organize the people in the palace to clear out the unused things in the palace. Tomorrow night, I will do it in Chang'an.
The International Shopping Center holds a charity sale, and invites the ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as wealthy households in Chang'an, to let everyone know that the queen is really doing charity. After the sales are completed tomorrow, it will not be too late to organize production in the palace."
"It makes sense...but why are you so concerned about this matter?" Empress Changsun is also a human being, and she quickly discovered that something was wrong. She had long known that Du He would not take action without seeing benefits, but now he is so attentive, which must be different.
Ordinary.
Du He said with a smile: "The queen is really smart, and she saw through my thoughts at a glance. In fact, I built a luxurious international shopping mall in the west of the city. Unfortunately, no one knew the goods, so I wanted to take advantage of this and invite the ministers of the DPRK and China to come.
Let’s take a look at the scene... I decided to reserve a shop in Chang’an International Shopping Center for the Queen to sell things produced in the harem.”
Empress Changsun covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You kid, you are very naughty. If this matter is done, I will not blame you. If it is not done well, I will deal with you when the time comes."
Du He hurriedly lowered his head and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
…
Early the next morning, Empress Changsun sent invitations to the big shots in the DPRK and Chang'an. It was scheduled to sell the idle items in the palace on the third floor of Chang'an International Shopping Center in the evening of that day. One of the reasons was to streamline the life of the harem.
The second is to donate a portion of the sales proceeds to the states and counties that have been hit by disasters recently to benefit the people.
Those who received the invitation did not dare to neglect, and they all said that they would arrive in advance.
Du He, on the other hand, took several of his men to walk alpacas and pandas in Chang'an City.
On the People's Avenue, Du He was holding the alpaca with his left hand, and with his right hand... he was holding nothing with his right hand, because this panda had a temper, and it just followed Du He and tried to tie it with a rope, but there was no way.
As soon as these two strange creatures appeared, they quickly caused a sensation.
"Wow, that... looks like an iron-eating beast, but it looks too fat and panting when walking. It looks like an iron-eating beast, but it's not ferocious at all. It's so strange..."
"Is that a sheep? No, it has a head like a camel, how could it look like this!"
"Where did the Marquis of Huyi County catch such a thing from?"
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, and today I gained a lot of experience!"
People talked a lot, and then followed Du He and walked forward.
In a short time, thousands of people followed.
Soon, everyone in Chang'an City knew that Hou Duhe of Huyi County had caught two strange animals, one was an iron-eating beast, and the other looked like a sheep and a camel.
Unfortunately, the usually spacious People's Avenue seemed very narrow at the moment. Many people were far apart and could not see the appearance of these two strange creatures at all.
Then Duhe announced on the street: "Don't worry, everyone, the one on my left is called an alpaca or a grass mud horse, and the one on the right is not the iron-eating beast that everyone talks about, but a giant panda. In order to give everyone a chance to see it,
Starting at 1:00 a.m. today, alpacas and pandas will be placed in Chang'an International Shopping Center, and everyone can line up to see them up close, and even touch them..."
"OK!"
"good!"
Everyone clapped and applauded.
…
at dusk.
Carriages were parked in the huge square outside Chang'an International Shopping Center.
As soon as the carriage stopped, a boy in a red robe ran over and led the coachman to a place not far away specially designed for parking carriages and tying horses.
Changsun Wuji and others got off the carriage one after another and gathered at the gate.
From a distance, Chang'an International Shopping Center is very luxurious and impressive. The entire building is made of bricks.
Chen Shuda stepped forward and asked: "Everyone, you must have received Du He's invitation, right? Du He is very thoughtful and wants us to rent his shop. This place is not close to the East and West cities, and it used to be Chang'an City.
This is the poorest place, and ordinary people would never come here. If it weren't for the Queen's invitation today, I wouldn't want to come to this place where nothing matters!"
"Yeah, what's the use of opening a shop in this shabby place!"
"What Mr. Chen said makes sense!"
"I heard that Chang'an International Shopping Center cost Du He millions of dollars. Now it seems that everything is in vain!"
"What a pity!"
No one thinks that shopping malls can be opened.
No one wants to open their own store in this place.
Changsun Wuji said: "The most important point is that this place is very desolate and no one patronizes it. If you open a store here, you won't be able to sell anything in a year. The name of this shopping mall is Duhe."
It’s good, but it’s no use if no one comes to patronize it!”
"I can guarantee that even if this shopping mall opens, there will not be more than ten people visiting it." Changsun Wuji thought for a while and added.
"Hey, look, why are there so many people over there?"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Everyone turned around and saw that on the other side of the square, they were full of human heads.
At first glance, there were at least several thousand people, and they lined up neatly to walk into the shopping mall.
Everyone was shocked.
Swish.
Everyone turned to look at Changsun Wuji.
Just now, Zhang Sun Wuji had vowed that even if this shopping mall opened, no more than ten people would visit it, but there were at least three thousand people in front of him.
Changsun Wuji suddenly felt his face turn red.
Fortunately, Li Er arrived and everyone stepped forward to salute, so it wouldn't be so embarrassing.
Under the guidance of a few servants, everyone walked into the shopping mall and discovered that there was a cave inside. The outside was a square building, but the inside was round. There was a huge round pool in the middle. There were actually fish, flowers and plants in the pool.
There are trees next to it, and the sky above the pool stretches upwards. You can see the sky, and the sky above is covered by transparent glass. Even if it rains outside, it will not affect the shopping mall.
Of course, in everyone's opinion, it was not glass, but a large piece of transparent glass, which was shocking.
Before everyone could visit in detail, a palace maid came over and asked everyone to go up to the third floor, because the charity party was about to begin.
