So Ji Wan did not force her mother, but ran out with Yang Guan and Xiling Ci. Her brother was leaving tomorrow, so she decided to take him to have a good look around Pincheng today.
It is also to demonstrate our strength to future business partners.
Cooperating with Ning Xiguo was a sudden idea that Ji Wan came up with last night, but it was indeed a good way to temporarily appease Xiling Mingyue.
It can also allow Ji Wan to earn some money from Ning Xiguo.
After all, cooperation is always better than fighting each other, and the cooperation they discussed yesterday is beneficial to both parties. The two parties will jointly promote consumption and allow money to circulate. How great!
So this morning, Ji Wan told his staff about his desire to cooperate with Xilingci in the virtual chat room on his watch.
Ningxi is a big country. Even if its people are not rich, they are definitely richer than people in other countries.
Therefore, Ji Wan opened up a trade route to promote the development of both parties.
Along the way, Deji still pushed Xilingci's wheelchair.
This was the first time that Xilingci experienced such a grand scene in Donglin Kingdom, or rather, it was the first time that he experienced such a grand scene in the prefectures and counties under his sister's rule.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire street is now overcrowded. People are shoulder to shoulder, and a whole city can hardly accommodate them.
"Fuguang's jurisdiction is truly wealthy, and it's surprising that so many people have come out to buy things."
Ji Wan stopped in front of a stall selling hairpins and said, "Big Brother, you're too kind. This is only the case in Pincheng. And today is a festival, which makes it a little special."
Then, Ji Wan turned around and compared the hairpin on Xilingci's head, and then said: "This one looks good, I will buy it for my elder brother!"
Yang Guan tactfully took out some silver from his sleeve and placed it on the table filled with hairpins.
Xilingci took the hairpin handed to him by Ji Wan with surprise. After taking a closer look, he found that it was a wooden hairpin with two lifelike peach blossoms carved on the top.
"Thank you Fu Guang, big brother likes this hairpin very much."
After saying that, Xilingci put the wooden hairpin in his hand into the storage bag.
Ji Wan waved his hand indifferently and bought a lot of things for Xilingci on the way, including food, drinks and toys.
Ji Wan visited almost every stall on the street.
Xilingci behind him was overwhelmed with gifts. At the beginning, he could still maintain some surprise, but later on, he basically put whatever Ji Wan threw at him into his storage bag.
The same was true for Yang Guan and Deji behind him. Ji Wan was insatiable for shopping today.
Not only did he buy things for the people behind him, he also bought a lot for his staff who were not present. He brought three jade pendants for Cui Min... and several embroidered exorcism medicine bags with novel patterns for Liang Yan...
Xilingci also reciprocated by giving Ji Wan a lot of food.
Several people walked to a place where many people gathered - a place for guessing riddles.
The tall and strong shopkeeper was holding up an exquisitely crafted lantern and shouting, "Listen up, folks! This time, the riddle is 'Isn't being allowed out the door?' Tell me, is that annoying? Guess the word!"
If you guess the lantern correctly, I'll buy it for you folks at a 10% discount!"
"Fu Guang, would you like to try to guess?" Xilingci's eyes flashed with interest.
Ji Wan smiled and shook her head: "I won't guess, brother, why don't you give it a try?"
Many scholars around him, waving folding fans, took the paper and pen, thought about it, and wrote down their answers on it.
Xilingci was itching to do something after seeing this, so after agreeing to Ji Wan's words, he took the paper and pen handed to him by the vendor and wrote the word "bored" on it.
Then, confident of winning, he took out some silver from his storage bag and prepared to buy the lanterns sold in this novel way.
The vendor tallied up the answers and announced them, then brought up a number of lanterns of varying styles. "Gentlemen, if you all wrote the correct answers, you can choose any one and buy it for only 90% off!"
The atmosphere was great, and the vendor sold dozens of lanterns at once.
Ji Wan secretly shook his head after seeing this, feeling that the consumption trap was so terrifying!
Just by putting these lanterns on display for sale, many people would come to buy them during the Qiqiao Festival. Not to mention organizing small promotions to attract customers and throwing out 90% off traps to make many people willingly open their wallets.
I guess they can sell out the entire year’s stock of lanterns in just one night!
During the short time that Ji Wan was waiting for Xilingci to answer the question, all the lanterns that the vendor brought out today were sold out.
It's a booming little business indeed.
Xilingci held the lantern he won from guessing the lantern riddles and handed it to Ji Wan with a smile on his face: "Fuguang, take it and play with it."
Ji Wan took the lantern readily. Seeing that the sun had completely set, he took Xilingci to a newly opened restaurant in the city.
As soon as Xilingci entered, he saw a waiter with only one leg, limping towards him with a smile on his face: "How many guests are there? Would you like a room in the upper room? Eh? Is it His Highness?!"
Xilingci raised his eyebrows and looked around, and found that many of the waiters were disabled and were walking around in the hall.
Although these people were physically disabled, they were strong and clearly looked like soldiers. He knew this in his heart.
"Well, for four of us, let's take a room upstairs and order some of the restaurant's signature dishes!" Ji Wan interrupted the waiter who was about to kneel down to salute.
The waiter's face was full of joy: "Your Highness, please wait in the upper room for a moment. I will ask the kitchen to prepare it!"
The waiters in the restaurant were all soldiers who had been injured and retreated from the battlefield.
Although they were injured and retreated, the compensation His Highness gave them was enough to cover their expenses for the rest of their lives.
Moreover, they found a job for them in this restaurant, so that the soldiers who retired due to injuries or disabilities could have work to do, and they also saved a lot of money!
There are many people like them. Some of them stayed in the army and learned bandaging and suturing, just like doctors.
Those who could read entered His Highness's government office and did some simple work.
Anyway, with His Highness's retirement compensation and the jobs he helped find, it would not be difficult for them to live a comfortable life.
After entering a room close to the street, Xilingci asked inquiringly, "Fuguang is a good kid with a kind heart.
Find a job for these retired soldiers to support themselves."
Ji Wan shook his head: "Brother, you are wrong. They all have other pensions. This is just another job I found for them so that they can earn more money."
Are there any other pensions?
Xilingci then showed a hint of surprise: "How many of Fuguang's soldiers have been injured like this?"
So rich?
Ji Wan smiled, pretending to be impressive. "Not many. Soldiers are usually very careful on the battlefield, so few are injured or killed. So I can afford to support these people for the time being."
The disabled soldiers brought by Lou Shao accounted for half of the total number, but since Ji Wan began to strengthen the training of the soldiers, the casualty rate of the soldiers has dropped a lot.
