Chapter 246 Your Majesty, There Are Assassins!

"Have you heard? The Chamber of Commerce is going to hold a trade fair in the East City. I heard that there are new products coming out?"

"Really? Then let's go soon. It is said that the fair will last for seven days. After this village, there will be no such store."

"..."

The next day, the words "trade fair" and "mirror" roared on the front pages of Qingzhou newspapers.

Pan Gen once again caused waves in the hearts of merchants in Qingzhou. Many merchants in the first three commodities missed business opportunities, and they still regret it. Now they will not miss this opportunity again.

So when they saw the newspaper, they flocked to the East City.

At this time, many scholars also saw the contents of the newspaper, and out of curiosity, they also went to the East City to join in the fun.

This fair is naturally Xiao Ming's idea. No matter how good the mirror is, it must show its true face and let others feel it. Therefore, this fair is very necessary.

First, it can show the charm of the mirror, and secondly, it can also allow businessmen to spread the magic of the mirror and expand the influence of the mirror.

At this time, in the East City, a small area was surrounded by soldiers, and everyone was not allowed to approach the mirror within three meters.

And in a place surrounded by ropes, a dozen mirrors are displayed.

The merchants in front saw themselves clearly through the mirror, and they were so excited that they refused to leave in front of the mirror.

"Did I say you've seen enough?" The businessman at the back was already impatient, "Let others see it too."

The businessman in front was fascinated by the mirror and didn't bother to pay any attention, "I'm here first, I want to watch it for as long as I want."

"Fuck you." The businessman at the back grabbed the businessman at the front and pushed him to the ground. Then he saw himself in the mirror, and he also had an obsessed look.

The businessman behind him then repeated the same process.

For a time, the East City was in a state of chaos and chaos. From time to time, there were businessmen who disagreed with each other.

They were all shocked by this magical mirror and just wanted to look at it for a while, while some businessmen who were responsive went directly to the Chamber of Commerce to find Li Kaiyuan.

"Vice President Li, can you tell us about this mirror in advance?" When a businessman spoke, he pushed a silver note worth more than a thousand taels to Li Kaiyuan.

Li Kaiyuan pushed back the silver note, he could learn Xiao Ming's methods, if he really accepted the money, I am afraid that he would really be imprisoned.

Xiao Ming has always been very strict with the officials of the six states. At the meeting, Xiao Ming made it very clear that the salary he paid to the officials of the six states was three times that of the officials of the Great Yu Kingdom, and the lowest one year was 36 taels of silver.

Therefore, with such a high salary, his tolerance for corruption and bribery is zero. Once corruption is found out, it is not a matter of losing office. It is a light prison disaster, and a serious beheading. There is no room for negotiation.

Li Kaiyuan can be said to be a close official by Xiao Ming's side. He will get a lot of money as a reward for credit on weekdays. It can be said that there is no shortage of money in his hands.

And this makes him even less likely to accept bribes.

"You better take this back, otherwise I won't be able to talk to you about it today." Li Kaiyuan put away his usual smile and said sternly.

The businessman was stunned for a moment. It is a common practice in the Great Yu Kingdom. How can an official not accept money? This made him feel uneasy, and said, "Vice President Li, is there less?"

Li Kaiyuan said angrily: "Are you trying to kill me? Our Qingzhou government does not accept money, take it back, and if you talk about it, you will just get out."

The merchant's expression changed, and he put away the money at this time, and said with a smirk: "In this case, I just want to ask Vice President Li, how is this mirror sold? When will it be sold? How?"

Li Kaiyuan's face improved a bit, he said: "His Royal Highness the mirror has ordered that the agency will not be sold. If it is sold, it will be in these two days. As for how to sell, His Royal Highness said, there will be an auction."

"Auction?" The businessman hesitated: "Isn't it auctioning the right to sell?"

"No, this auction of mirrors is fair and reasonable to everyone, and the mirror technology is very complicated and cannot be mass-produced, so this method can only be used." Li Kaiyuan said.

This is what he and Xiao Ming have planned. Since mirrors are luxury goods, this is the first time to make money, and auctions are the fastest way to make money.

When Li Kaiyuan was hanging on the businessman's appetite, Xiao Ming also sent a mirror to Chang'an. This time there was only one mirror, and it was given to Xiao Wenxuan.

This time Xiao Ming was cruel, because of the shocking effect of the mirror, he did not send it to Concubine Zhen, but after waiting for this period of time, he sent it to Concubine Zhen.

The news of Li Kaiyuan's oral release quickly spread among the merchants, and many merchants immediately began to prepare silver to buy mirrors for sale at this auction.

The magical effect of the mirror also spread as the businessman returned to his hometown. Many ladies and wives of big families were planning to go to Qingzhou when they learned of the effect of the mirror.

At this time, the mirror Xiao Ming sent to Chang'an finally arrived and was transported back to the palace by Feng Deshui.

"Your Majesty, the things sent by King Qi have arrived."

In the dormitory, Xiao Wenxuan was grading the memorial, when Feng Deshui walked in, and the two little Huangmen were carrying the mirror that had been covered up, slightly struggling.

"What did this King Qi give me?" Xiao Ming couldn't help but look forward to it when he spoke.

In his bedroom at this time, there was the unified country that Xiao Ming gave him, and there was a telescope on his table.

He loved both of those things.

"The old slave also wants to know what surprises His Highness King Qi has brought to His Majesty this time?" Feng Deshui smiled and gestured to Xiao Huangmen.

At this time, the little yellow goalkeeper Heibula came down.

Immediately, a mirror with a height of two meters and a width of fifty centimeters, with a carved dragon and a hollowed-out pure gold frame, appeared in front of Xiao Wenxuan.

"Your Majesty, there are assassins!"

When Feng Deshui saw the person in the mirror for the first time, he hadn't reacted, and immediately screamed.

Xiao Wenxuan was also taken aback, but he was someone who had come through strong winds and waves, so he wouldn't be as rude as Feng Deshui. Upon closer inspection, he moved his hands cautiously, and the person in the mirror also moved his hands.

Then he patted Feng Deshui, and the person in the mirror also patted the person next to him.

At this time Xiao Wenxuan already understood that the person in this mirror is the same as the person reflected in the bronze mirror.

However, because it was too clear, at first glance it looked like a real person was standing inside, so it was no wonder that Feng Deshui was so shocked.

"Escort, escort!"

At this moment, many guards rushed in. These guards came to Xiao Wenxuan and saw the murderous soldiers in armor in the mirror at a glance.

The guards drew their swords and rushed towards the mirror, shouting, "Bold traitor, die!"

Xiao Wenxuan only recovered from the shock at this time, and he hurriedly shouted: "Slow!"
