Chapter 293 This is good stuff!
"You're dreaming! How can ordinary people like us own such amazing immortal clothes?"
The person who said this was also a fairly well-known wealthy businessman in the capital.
He looked at the Third Prince strolling around in the rain with envy, and his heart felt itchy as if it had been scratched by a cat.
As soon as he finished saying that, he couldn't help but turn around and look at Tang Xinhua flatteringly:
"Where did Miss Tang get this fairy treasure from?"
"This is not some fairy treasure."
Seeing that the foreshadowing had been almost complete, Tang Xinhua raised her voice at the right time and explained with a chuckle:
"These are goods from Qiongzhou. They are called raincoats and rain boots. They are similar to umbrellas and are specially used for wearing on rainy days."
"So, we can buy it, too?"
The businessman's keen "money-making radar" suddenly became alert:
"I wonder if there is a lot of this stuff in Qiongzhou, and if it's expensive?"
"I heard that the production is quite large, but the price is a little high."
Tang Xinhua was originally here to help with sales, so she naturally told him everything she knew:
“Because these are all made of rubber, and rubber trees are basically only found in Qiongzhou, and harvesting them is quite labor-intensive, so the price cannot be as cheap as cotton cloth.
For example, the price of rain boots in Qiongzhou is 100 coins per pair.
The rubber used for the raincoat was even higher, costing two hundred and eighty coins each.
Wearing it when it rains is not only waterproof but also warm.”
“This is really a good thing!”
A set of raincoats and rain boots from Qiongzhou costs 380 wen.
If these merchants go there to buy goods in large quantities, they may get a cheaper price.
When the time comes, transport it to a place like Jiangnan where there is a lot of money and rain, and sell it for five, six, or seven hundred coins. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to sell it?
This is a new and big deal that no one has ever done before!
Upon hearing this, all the wealthy businessmen present became interested. They stopped eating and hurried home to start thinking about how to make this deal.
……
On the other side, the eldest prince’s palace.
The eldest prince, who was still furious about General Weiyuan's betrayal at the morning court today, suddenly heard about this and his expression became even more angry:
"Qiongzhou, Tang Muzhi! It's Yunshu's man again!
Why are all Yunshu's people talented? Even a divorced woman like Tang Xinhua can help her support the Tianwaitian Restaurant and Xianting's business.
The people of this prince are useless, and those who betrayed us are turning against us?"
"..."
The staff member, who felt that he was also scolded, looked a little unhappy, but he did not dare to show it too obviously in front of the eldest prince.
I could only apologize with grievance and gently advise:
"General Weiyuan is a man who values friendship the most. Your Highness, you have saved his son's life before. Just based on this, you can firmly bind him to our ship.
What happened today was probably because we had plotted against him, but we had not mentioned a word to him before. He was angry for a moment and felt that Your Highness had excluded him, so he did this.
But Qian Wanqing was just an insignificant servant after all. If he died, it would be fine. It would not be a big loss for you.
General Weiyuan probably just wanted to vent his anger on him.
When he calms down and comes to his senses, he will come to you in person to apologize."
"Who cares about his apology?"
After hearing what his aide said, the eldest prince felt that it made a lot of sense, and the anger in his chest dissipated a lot.
But when he thought that General Weiyuan, as one of his subordinates, dared to express his dissatisfaction with him, and even took a small revenge on him, he gritted his teeth in anger again:
"I have done him such a great favor, but he has not shown any sign of gratitude. Now I have only used him a little bit, and have not harmed his interests, yet he dares to do such a treacherous thing!"
"…Your Highness is right."
The staff reluctantly agreed:
"Next time when General Weiyuan comes to apologize, you must give him a good beating."
"Ah."
The eldest prince nodded in agreement and finally didn't mention the subject again.
He slowly walked to the window and looked in the direction of the palace, his eyes full of coldness:
"How's the task I asked you to do going?"
"done!"
When mentioning this, the staff member's tone finally became a little more positive and excited:
“Speaking of which, we are lucky.
Originally, the manor outside the city where Her Royal Highness and her men were staying was too heavily guarded, and our men couldn't even get close to them.
It was not easy to find someone who had been infected with smallpox near the capital.
After all, this thing spreads very quickly. Once one is discovered, a group of them will soon be discovered, and then it will develop into a plague.
But what was unexpected was that the plague actually broke out in a small village thirty miles away from the capital!
Fortunately, the village was remote enough and there were not many people there, so there was no noise and they died almost quietly.
When our people went there, they happened to meet a person who was still alive. "
"interesting."
After hearing so much bad news, I finally got some "good news".
The eldest prince's depression was finally swept away, and he laughed heartily:
"Tell me, is this God helping this prince?"
"Since ancient times, it has been orthodox to establish the heir or the eldest son. Now the empress is vacant and Your Majesty has no heir.
Your Highness, as the eldest prince, you are destined to sit in that position!"
If the boss wants to listen to flattery, the subordinates naturally have to find ways to cooperate.
The staff echoed flatteringly:
"The princess's biological mother was just a noble lady, and she herself is just a woman!
I am neither the eldest nor the heir, and even my gender is not advantageous. How can I be compared with you?
God must have been so upset that he decided to lend you a hand!"
"Well said!"
The eldest prince was indeed very happy and laughed even more happily:
"You still know how to talk!
You did a good job this time, but the real key lies in what comes next, so please don’t let this prince down.”
"I will do my best to live up to your trust!"
The aide quickly stood up and bowed. The respectful look and decisive words made the eldest prince very satisfied.
He raised his hand and patted the aide's shoulder twice, neither lightly nor heavily.
The eldest prince skillfully drew a big picture:
"As long as you can get things done this time, you will be this prince's number one contributor!
If this prince can really have such a day... the position of right prime minister will belong to you!"
"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness!"
