Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 567 Cheongsam Appears!Dazhang Oh!

"Weichen thinks the draft is feasible!"

Li Gefei stood up and supported Wu Zhi's opinion unconditionally.

Anyway, just go against the opponent.

The two argued for a while, and Wang Pan was a little muttered in his heart.

It seems that Wu Xiang is nothing more than that, using this trick to please His Majesty is extremely ridiculous!
He didn't say much.

And people from Wu Zhi's side stood up one after another, saying that His Majesty should have more heirs, and there is nothing wrong with drafting.

The rest of the courtiers saw that Song Huizong had this intention, so they all agreed.

Seeing this, Wang Ping had no choice but to give up.

That's it for this matter.

Soon, the imperial court announced to the public that it would recruit beautiful girls, and let the beautiful and talented people in the world participate in the selection and registration.

After the people of the world knew about this, they were all fried.

Draft?

Send your daughter to the palace?

Wouldn't it be possible for the officials to fancy it?
For a while, many people were pleasantly surprised, and wanted to send their daughter out for a try. If it didn't work, that's all.
Although some people thought it was absurd, they quickly accepted it.

Not only the common people are eager to try, but some officials' daughters are also eager to move.

Some families are very poor, and their daughters are good-looking, and the parents are immediately happy.

Of course, there are also those who do not participate.

I feel that if I fail to enter the palace, I will get killed. After all, being with the king is like being with a tiger.

Some parents dream of being successful, and when they hear the news, they are overjoyed, but when they go home and see their daughter's appearance, they sigh.

In short, the people of Song Dynasty were boiling.

This is equivalent to setting a precedent. There was no such thing as a draft before.

According to the announcement given by the palace, this time the gathering of talented and beautiful women from all over the world was divided into several grades. Even if they were not accompanied by Song Huizong in the end, if they entered the grade, they could still have a certain status in the harem.

Can have status promotion and salary.

If there is only one position, people in the world will not be very motivated.

So classification is also important.

For example, nobles, talents, beauties, Jieyu, etc., there are many honorary positions on the top, and the imperial concubine on the top.

The tallest is the imperial concubine, and the biggest is the empress.

At this moment, in the mansion of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Pan sat on a chair and shook his head: "What kind of draft is this military minister suddenly holding, what is the purpose? Is it really just to curry favor with His Majesty?"

Wang Juan was very disdainful of Wu Xiang's behavior and felt shameful.

Although Wu Zhi has merit, finding a woman for His Majesty is too much!
There were also many criticisms among the courtiers.

Since it was proposed by Wu Zhi, although everyone opposed it, it was impossible to overturn Wu Zhi's suggestion.

In the eyes of everyone, he was trying to cater to His Majesty...

Time passed slowly, and the draft had already started in Da Song.

The elimination system is adopted.

Some women went to participate in the selection, but they couldn't pass the first test. Some were too fat, too thin, and some had many moles on their faces, all of which were rejected by local officials.

This draft is very interesting, and there are also some ugly ones that are beyond description. It really disgusts the local officials and just let them go down...

Of course, some good-looking ones were selected. In short, after many competitions, there were more than 300 people who finally arrived in Bianjing City.

These more than 300 people will continue to be selected, and many of them are official women. After the final selection, there are still 50 people left.

Wu Zhi has also prepared cheongsams for these 50 people to let them learn the dance program.

Song Huizong was very looking forward to and excited.

During this time, I approached Wu Zhi several times to ask about the situation.

Whenever he thinks about the draft, he can't sleep.

Contrary to his mood is the Queen, if he summons all the beauties in the world, what if he competes with her for favor and falls out of favor in the future?A concubine Liu Gui made her dizzy, if there were more beauties in the harem, what should I do?

The queen complained that Wu Zhi made some bad ideas.But helpless.

In the past, she supported the officials to go out to find wild flowers, and she only did so, because those wild flowers could not come to the palace, but this time she felt the crisis.

People from her family came forward to stop her, but unfortunately Song Huizong didn't listen, and she couldn't help it.

Until this day, the draft began.

In a square, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up, Song Huizong couldn't wait.

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the show girls are about to appear on the stage. These are the beauties selected by the entire Song Dynasty through various competitions. Your Majesty will be satisfied when the time comes!"

"Moreover, many of these people are good at singing and dancing, and they have a lot of talent. They even practiced dancing for this draft, and His Majesty will be able to feast their eyes on it then!"

What Song Huizong heard was that the corners of his mouth rose, and he was extremely happy.

"Let them come up!"

"Beautiful girls please come on stage!"

Following Eunuch Li Yan's sharp voice, a group of women in ancient costumes came up the stairs in the distance.

Not bad.

Currently in ancient costume.

These people are tall and slender, with extremely glamorous makeup and rouge, and their bodies are also graceful, and there is no ambiguity in where they should be thin.

They walked in a T-shape. After entering the arena, they first saluted Song Huizong. As various orchestral music resounded around them, the show girls showed beautiful dances and songs in full view.

Civil and military officials sat in front of tables and chairs drinking tea and eating snacks, admiring the best beauties in the country.

One by one, they looked at each other with embarrassment.

Even Wang Juan, who opposed the draft, also stared at the beauties here.

I swallowed my saliva.

Song Huizong's eyes were burning, and he kept saying yes.

After performing some performances, the girls left the stage, and everyone continued to wait, and as a unique melody resounded, when these girls came out again, they had already changed into cheongsams of different colors.

Fifty women entered the arena wearing elegant cheongsams, especially the leading woman who held a folding fan and winked at Song Huizong. Her enchanting snake-like figure twisted and twisted, showing her figure to the fullest. No more, no less, the perfect arc on both sides made all the civil and military officials present gasp.Feast your eyes in my heart!

Especially when these women made a bending movement, which just highlighted the perfect lines behind them, Wang Pan gulped down his mouth and blushed a little.

Women in cheongsam performed dances on the spot, and with the resounding singing of a woman, a song that hurts the sea at night was transmitted loudly.

The melodies around are slow and graceful, matching the postures of the women in cheongsams, showing a unique charm.

Song Huizong couldn't help but feel agitated all over.

A woman wearing a cheongsam always has a temperament that does not eat fireworks.

Describing the demure, grasping the love, outlining the graceful, swaying and swaying.

There are different styles of cheongsam, which can be Xiaojiabiyu, virtuous and virtuous, or charming and glamorous.

Cheongsam can be conservative or open.

Among the fifty show girls, they were wearing different styles. At this moment, a woman walked out in a conservative style, and she was wearing a more open style.

The buttons appeared on the side, and the hem of the other people stopped below the knees. This cheongsam was opened at the root of the legs. During that inadvertent movement, there was a touch of whiteness, and the eyes of all the civil and military officials present were blinded. stared.

Among the officials, Li Shu's face was flushed, he was a little embarrassed, but he wanted to see the entanglement.

"This dress is so beautiful!"

"I've never seen this style of clothes, and we haven't seen them in Song Dynasty before?"

"Who designed this? There is a unique style, this dress is so beautiful!"

"The one who can design this kind of clothes is really a genius!..."

When the performance was over, everyone started talking about the cheongsam. They just ignored the discussion and just focused on looking at the beauties.

Although Wang Ping did not agree objectively with this kind of ostentation in front of the public, he couldn't help feeling that the cheongsam was indeed beautiful.

Song Huizong hadn't come back to his senses at this moment, thinking about the beauty of the woman in the cheongsam who had just opened the cloth, made him impatient.

Not to mention these people, some court ladies and even concubines around, the queen couldn't help being curious when she saw such an exquisite cheongsam.

Empress Xiansu: "Your Majesty, I have never seen this kind of cheongsam before. It should be a new dress! I don't know who designed it..."

Women always have a natural appreciation and love for clothes.So is the queen.

"Well, the queen wants it, and I'll send you a few, but I don't know who made these clothes yet!"

When everyone was talking about the uniqueness and taste of the clothes, Song Huizong asked: "Mr. Wu, do you know who designed these clothes?"

Wu Zhi stood up: "Your Majesty, this dress is called a cheongsam, it was designed by Wei Chen, and it is specially prepared for His Majesty's draft!"

"You designed this?"

Song Huizong and the civil and military officials were shocked.

Our military minister can also design women's clothes?

Many officials were a little confused.

Co-author of Our Great Song Zuoxiang, or an old tailor?
And is he a master at this?

What's going on here?
After Song Huizong was slightly shocked, he was relieved. This was not the first time Wu Zhi had surprised him. He smiled and said, "Wu Aiqing is really versatile. Do you still have this cheongsam? The queen likes cheongsam very much!"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Wei Chen brought a lot of cheongsams, which are also new clothes that are going to be launched soon. This time, I also prepared one for all the wives of civil and military officials present!"

While speaking, Wu Zhi clapped his hands, and then someone brought over boxes, all of which were cheongsams.

One was sent to all the civil and military officials present.

As long as the wives of officials like it, they will be stimulated to continue buying other styles, which will drive the cheongsam market.

"Wu Aiqing! You can always think of many ways to make money!"

Song Huizong nodded.

When Wang Juan heard that Wu Zhi was going to put the cheongsam on the market, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, our Song Dynasty women have never gone out dressed like this. This dress can only be worn at home and cannot go out. Although the clothes are good, the people who buy them Certainly not many.

Furthermore, women have been conservative since ancient times, can they go out dressed like this? "

Wang Judgment obviously represented the thinking of some officials.

Many people nodded in agreement.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "The cheongsam can make the Song Dynasty more prosperous and improve the economy.

The first step of cheongsam is to open up the women's market and break the traditional thinking, so that women can come out of the home.

There are many styles of this kind of clothes, why not wear them conservatively? "

Song Huizong nodded: "I think this is the reason. As long as the Song Dynasty can prosper, you don't have to care about these small details. Wang Aiqing, I see that you just watched it with great interest!"

Being able to make money, Song Huizong was naturally willing, but Wang Juan was embarrassed by the words and immediately shut up.

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Weichen is going to open up the cheongsam market in Song Dynasty, and Yanyun will continue to supply and sell it."

"Clothing has been indispensable to people since ancient times. If it is produced in large quantities and there is a market, it will not only solve the employment problem of many people, but also promote various industries related to clothing, such as fabrics, embroidery, buttons and so on.

Clothing is a light industry and textile industry that belongs to the manufacturing industry. As long as women leave home, the profits of the clothing industry will skyrocket first, driving a series of positive developments.

And this is just Weichen's first step. In the future, under Weichen's industrial planning, Da Song's tax revenue will double, triple, or even tenfold! "

Wu Zhi sold through the normal channels of the Commerce Department, so Song Huizong made money.Add in taxes, and he's unlikely to object.

In addition, Wu Zhi is the left prime minister of the court, and what he is going to do is not so easy to be refuted.

So Wu Zhi's sale of cheongsams was quickly settled.

The civil and military officials present, Song Huizong was also shocked by Wu Zhi's words, if the tax revenue of the Great Song Dynasty will increase ten times, a hundred times in the future!What a prosperous era the Great Song Dynasty will develop into! ! !
Song Huizong was looking forward to it very much. Wu Zhi never let him down. He believed in Wu Zhi.

At this moment, Wang Ping, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, finally understood why Wu Zhi wanted to hold this cheongsam show.

He wanted to open up the market and get Song Huizong to agree. After Song Huizong saw how good the cheongsam was, he would not refuse it.

After all, no emperor can refuse the annual tax increase. Whether a country is strong or not is inseparable from the filling of the economy and treasury.

It turned out that this was his purpose!
Wang Juan glanced at Wu Zhi in the distance, secretly thinking that what a prime minister, a talent show would not only make His Majesty happy, but also open up a new market for women by developing cheongsam.

It can also liberate women's thinking and let women in Song Dynasty go out of the house for beauty.

He clearly wants to bring up the women of the Song Dynasty and promote all the consumer industries in the Song Dynasty!
Only now did Wang Pan realize that this Wu Zhi is not only good at fighting, but also in business and economics, few people can compare with him!
Can't help secretly thinking that the prime minister is too scary.

If it is true as he said, the future of Song Dynasty is limitless!

But is it really that easy?

Wang Judgment wasn't sure either.
