Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 65 Daqi Prepares for Winter
"The whole city is on alert these days, so it's not convenient for me to come here during the day, so I came to disturb the girl at night."

Li Heng was modest and polite, and his expression softened as he walked into the yard.

The tension of the past few days and the temptations from my father seemed to dissipate in an instant, and only here could I get a moment of respite.

Shen You nodded in understanding. Not to mention now, if there was a big business coming, it would be no problem for her to get up early in the morning to open the store.

Li Heng said that he was staying in the temple tonight, so he could come to the shop away from the eyes and ears.

He also mentioned the Great Qi Imperial Master who was in the palace when he left. He didn't know if it was the same one from the past or a descendant. His father seemed to be both afraid and trusting of him.

Having said that, Li Heng looked at Shen You and observed her expression.

For some reason, he always felt that the man looked like the man at the temple fair, and Miss Shen might know him.

But Shen You did not show much emotion, just thinking about the situation in ancient times.

She also noticed Li Heng's subtle temptation.

After chatting for a while, Li Heng talked about business.

"In a few days, the border will enter winter. I want to ask if there is anything useful here."

"This is not difficult, but you have to tell me about the situation at your Daqi border and the conditions for keeping warm, so that I can go find something."

Thinking that these contents were mixed with confidential information, Shen You added, "No need to explain it in too much detail."

Li Heng nodded and responded.

After listening to his description, Shen You roughly understood that cotton planting had not yet been popularized in Da Qi. Like in the Song Dynasty, cotton fabrics were relatively expensive.

Ordinary wealthy families only had one or two pieces of clothing to get through the winter, and ordinary people had even less, and all they had were clothes made of linen.

Originally, the climate of Da Qi was warm, but it has been getting colder in recent years. The conditions in the bitter and cold border areas are even worse. It is impossible for everyone to wear thick cotton clothes, and there are not even enough quilts.

Shen You took out a tablet, found a warm round-neck liner, and showed pictures of fleece-lined autumn johns and autumn clothes for the elderly to Li Heng.

Li Heng stared at the miniature model photo on the light board for several seconds.

I used to know that this shop contained many amazing things, such as the thin rectangular object on the counter with small keys similar to those on a printing plate.

He couldn't understand the symbols written on it, but he had seen Miss Shen use it to look up information.

But now this thing looks very light, but it can hold a person.
There was actually someone talking in the small box next to it, introducing the clothes.

What’s even more strange is that the faces of the people inside are a little blurry, as if they were worn flat, their faces are a little pointy, and their eyes are exceptionally big.

The etiquette he learned in elementary school prevented him from speaking directly in front of Shen You.

But, he had never seen anyone with such appearance, and Miss Shen looked normal.
After a while, Li Heng said,

"Why are they inside this board? And they look a little different from you and me. Do they have Western blood?"

Looking at Li Heng's face, which actually showed a somewhat clear yet stupid expression, Shen You was silent for a moment.

It’s hard to explain live streaming and beauty filters to ancient people.

"They are not in the tablet. This is a special method to transfer the screen of them talking to me, so I can see the product introduction even without meeting face to face."

After hearing this, Li Heng seemed to understand something.

"What method can accomplish such a thing? Is it a magic?"

You have to know that he had always scoffed at his father's practice of refining elixirs and searching for immortals. Faith is a handy tool to consolidate imperial power.

It wasn't until I saw all kinds of things in this shop that ordinary people couldn't do that I couldn't help but have some doubts. "No, no, no."

Shen You shook his head, worried that he would lead this man into a trap. Apart from anything else, Li Heng was actually worthy of being a wise ruler.
So he explained, “It’s not magic, it’s science, the things in it are quite complicated, to put it simply.

This tablet is connected to the Internet, a channel for transmitting information, just like your intelligence network, except that you use people and carrier pigeons to transmit information, and I use something else here."

This was all she could think of saying, and she wondered if Li Heng could understand.

"Then can this thing be used in Da Qi?" Li Heng asked eagerly.

He didn't understand what that thing was that could transmit images so quickly and completely.

But he knew that if Miss Shen was willing to give this thing to Da Qi, then urgent military information could be directly transmitted to him in the future.

There is no need to rush for 800 miles, and there is no possibility of being intercepted in the middle.

He knew better than anyone what this meant. The garrisons at the border and outside the capital could be completely under his control.

Shen You sighed and shook his head again.
"You can't use it. Building the network I mentioned is not something that can be accomplished by one person. I can't do it, and Da Qi can't do it either."

Although he said so, Li Heng felt somewhat regretful when he heard that it was something that humans could do.

Fortunately, things that are powerful enough to overthrow the country cannot be used in Da Qi.

It was also at this time that Li Heng truly realized what she had said that day, that their worlds were different.

The position of Crown Princess, which is coveted by aristocratic families, means nothing to her.

The topic returned to clothes, and Shen You continued to introduce, "These clothes are not expensive. Wearing them inside will not affect your ability to wear ordinary clothes."

She also wore super thick warm clothes under her Hanfu during the Chinese New Year, and she personally found it to be effective!
The best equipment for outdoor snow-capped mountain climbing is definitely suitable for the harsh conditions at the border, but those are too expensive and it is not realistic to buy so much.

Warm clothing with down lining is much better than linen and straw.

"Okay, this kind of clothes." Li Heng made a prompt decision, "Miss Shen, you can calculate the price."

Shen You switched from Pindaodao to wholesale software.

The cheapest wholesale price of plush warm clothing is over 40 yuan per set, while down lining is more expensive, at least over 50 yuan.

Better quality ones will probably cost more.

If the quantity is large, she can negotiate directly with the factory, it shouldn't be too expensive.

A set of thermal clothing plus a down liner, based on a budget of one hundred yuan, 20,000 sets would only cost two million yuan.

And you can cooperate with Liu Zheng and sell another batch yourself.

"There are also sleeping bags. They are easy to carry and have good resistance to cold." Shen You saw the pushed link, found the video and showed it to Li Heng.

"This is good!" Li Heng said happily.

Shen You started talking about the price.
"Two thousand taels of gold, and for the rest I want palace utensils, porcelain, and even better, golden nanmu wood."

"No problem." Li Heng agreed very well without any hesitation.

This amount of money is just enough for normal military purchases, and it will be deducted from many departments.

What's more, the things those people bought were far worse than what was introduced on Miss Shen's tablet.

"The deposit is five hundred taels of gold." Shen You thought of something and continued, "But it will take time to prepare the things this time, so I may need to give them to you in batches."
