Chapter 363, Lottery

  Because the Xiangyang Liuli Factory is about to start selling colored glaze, in the last two days, Ningmen Fucheng has become an unprecedented bustle. There are merchants traveling from the north to the south, as well as officials and family members who pay close attention to this matter.

In the private room on the second floor of a restaurant on the main street of Fucheng City, Daohua, Dong Yuanyao, and Su Shiyu were drinking tea here after shopping. They were slightly surprised to see the pedestrians coming and going on the street.

   Daohua: "Xiao Yeyang chose to build the first colored glaze factory in Daxia in Ningmen Mansion, which helped my father from the side."

  Don’t say anything else, the influx of people from all sides will definitely drive the growth of the local economy.

  As the economy grows, taxes and other things will also go up.

  Neither Dong Yuanyao nor Su Shiyu answered these words.

  Who helped whom, not necessarily!

  Their brother is with the little prince. Even if the little prince doesn't say something, they can guess one or two things.

Where did the Liuli prescriptions in the hands of the little prince come from? Dong Yuanxuan and Su Hong have a lot of confidence, especially they have a good relationship with Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao. Both of them are not the kind of people who have deep intentions and can hide things. Let’s take a closer look. , You can find out one or two.

  Su Shiyu glanced at Daohua outside the window, remembering what his grandfather had said in her heart.

   "Outsiders say that the Yan family took advantage of the little prince's power to get up, but in my opinion, this is really biased."

  "Let’s not talk about the life-saving grace, let’s talk about the loss of the grain of Governor Guo before. If it were not for the Yan family, Governor Guo would have to be demoted."

"Later on Jiguang’s floods and plagues, the Yan family helped a lot. Governor Guo was the person in charge of the disaster relief. If it weren’t for the plague prescription offered by the Yan family, Jiguang didn’t know how many people would die, even if it wasn’t his fault. , In the end will be a crime of negligence."

"Although these things seem to have little to do with the little prince, what kind of family is the Guo family? It is the family of the little prince's maternal uncle. There is an accident in the Guo family and he can't get it well. The Yan family can be regarded as indirectly helping the little prince. busy."

"This time the Liulichang, let alone, the Liulichang is under the name of the Ministry of Industry, which is equivalent to that the little prince is already working for the emperor. As long as the Liulichang is operated well, it will have money and reputation in the future. , Who would dare to look down upon this little prince?"

   "The Yan family borrowed the power of the little prince, but the little prince also benefited more from the Yan family."

  “Don’t look at the little prince who is far away in Zhongzhou these years, but people on the other side of the capital have paid attention to it. Whether the emperor or the prince Ping, can you allow others to take advantage of the little prince in vain?”

   "The people who say that the Yan family is tainted by the little prince are just envious and jealous."

  Thinking about this, Su Shiyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he lowered his head to continue tasting tea.

  From the perspective of his grandfather’s support of his brother’s relationship with the Yan family brothers, his old man is optimistic about the Yan family and recognizes the Yan family.

  Especially this time, she took the initiative to ask her to come with Madam Dong and Yuan Yao. Obviously, she wanted her to befriend sister Yan.

Dong Yuanyao put down the tea cup: "My father said that the little prince chose to build the Liuli Factory in Ningmen Mansion. This decision was particularly good. Although Ningmen Mansion is not rich, it is located at the junction of the three provinces of Jiguang, Fenxi, and Zhongzhou. A tributary of the Grand Canal flows through, and the waterway traffic is very convenient, which is very convenient for the sale of colored glaze."

   Daohua nodded: "That's true." Suddenly, her eyes flashed and she pointed to the street and said, "Look, is that Jiang Chenzheng?"

  Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu looked over, and they saw Jiang Zhengyuan wandering on the street. Behind him, they followed a few other provincial officials in ordinary clothes.

  In Daohua's heart, "Isn't it just selling a colored glaze? Where is it worth these people to come here in person?"

Dong Yuanyao shook her head: "Of course it's worth it." She said, lowering her voice, "My father said, Daxia can't build only two colored glaze factories. Now all parties are so concerned, just want to see the benefits of the colored glaze factory. Is it worthwhile for them to strive to establish a Liulichang elsewhere in the future."

   Daohua's face suddenly appeared: "It turns out that there is still this relationship."

  Dong Yuanyao: "Isn't it, let alone Jiang's family, even my grandfather also wrote a letter to let my father pay more attention to Liulichang."

Daohua: "It's no wonder that my fourth brother said before that Xiao Yeyang was so annoyed by so many people that he was stared at by so many people. Can't control it alone."

  Dong Yuanyao nodded.

  Su Shiyu smiled and said, “You can only grow under pressure. Let the little prince in the capital take charge of the Liuli Factory, I am afraid there will be tests to temper him.”

  Dong Yuanyao said with a smile: "My father said the same. He said that when the little prince first came to Zhongzhou, all the things in his heart were on his face, but in the past two years, he has become more and more restrained."

   Daohua smiled: "Well, people always grow up, how can they be like a child with moody mood."

  Su Shiyu laughed: "That's true."

  Dong Yuanyao: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's eat quickly, and go back to rest after dinner, and then get up early tomorrow to grab the free glazed tea set."

   Daohua shook her head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to grab it."

"Um?"

  Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu looked over together.

  Dong Yuanyao: "Why? The free Liuli tea set is not given to anyone. Given our relationship with the little prince, this is not a difficult task, right?"

   Daohua: "I think, Xiao Yeyang will give the Liuli tea set as a gift to merchants from afar or ordinary people who cannot afford it. Anyway, it will not fall into the hands of officials and aristocrats."

  Dong Yuanyao condensed her eyebrows, and Su Shiyu was also puzzled.

   "It's not necessary!"

   Daohua smiled and shrugged, without saying much.

  On the first day of August, Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu ate longevity noodles with Daohua, and they couldn’t wait to take her to the Liulichang on the outskirts of the city, and Yan Yihuan followed.

  When a few people arrived, countless people had gathered outside the Liuli Factory.

  However, it is not crowded.

  At this moment, showcases have been placed on the left side of the gate of Liuli Factory, and a red line is pulled in front of each showcase, and no one is allowed to cross the red line.

  And on the right side of the gate, there was a long queue, and everyone was slowly walking towards the carton in front.

"What is this doing?"

  Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu looked puzzled.

  Daohua pursed her mouth and smiled: "It should be a lottery. If you win a specific item, you will get a free glazed tea set."

  Dong Yuanyao's eyes lit up: "This is fun, let's go, let's also go in line." As he said, he ran towards the team with one hand in one hand.

  Although they are not bad for money, it is still quite good to get a free set of colored glaze, especially with so many people participating. If they get it, wouldn’t it prove that their luck is better than others?

  There are others who have the same idea.

   Yan Wenkai and Dong Yuanxuan took a day off specially today, and they are also in line at the moment.

  Many people came today, and Yan Zhigao, the prefect of Ningmen Mansion, also came.

  Watching Xiao Yeyang let everyone participate in the gift lottery regardless of their status, Yan Zhigaowei nodded invisibly.

   "The little prince is a little arrogant, but he still has compassion for the people." Yan Zhigao said to Master Xiao in a low voice.

  Master Xiao smiled and nodded: "My lord, let's try our luck too?"

  Yan Zhigao smiled: "Okay, I have this meaning."

  While talking, the two walked into the team.

  Not everyone is like Yan Zhigao to give up and enjoy with the people. Although Jiang Zhengyuan and some other officials also found the lottery interesting, they stood calmly on the side and did not move. They only sent someone to the lottery.

During the    period, someone wanted to jump in the line, but was thrown out by the guards who maintained order, and ordered not to approach the Liuli Factory.

  Seeing this, everyone lined up obediently.

  No one, because they recognized that the person who jumped the line was a servant of the Jiang family.

  The little prince did not even give the Jiang family's face, let alone other people's.

  The carton in the lottery draw is either something else, or a ball of paper with numbers written on it.

  When Daohua was about to draw a few prizes, Xiao Yeyang walked out of the Liuli Factory.

  Xiao Yeyang glanced lightly at the people gathered outside the door, nodded at Jiang Zhengyuan, and walked towards the lottery box, personally supervising the crowd drawing paper balls.
