Chapter 105 The shocking product display
Before everyone recovered from their shock, Niu Wu continued, "Refined salt is only one of the products. Now, I'm going to show you cement... which is made from another stone vein... You can take a look at it first. It will take some time for it to stabilize. I'll show it first, and then, when it's dry, I'll show it to you all!"
At this point, Niu Wu asked people to bring bricks and stones, and then he started to build a small earthen stove with cement and river sand.
"Oh, and these bricks and stones were also made by the disaster victims. They should be harder than the bricks and stones we use now. Moreover, they are easy to make and cheap! We will discuss the details later!"
After introducing cement, Niu Wu didn't give the shocked crowd time to breathe. What he took out next was perfume, soap, and coal briquettes.
The moment perfume and soap were taken out, the fragrance quickly spread throughout the venue after it drifted with the wind.
"This is the perfume made from the flowers that His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince led us to pick, and the soap made from the soapberries. Once you smell it, you should know the preciousness and quality of this thing."
"In addition, there are coal balls, which are made from black stone from one of the black stone veins. Compared to charcoal, they are not only cheaper, but also last longer and burn at a higher temperature. Whether it is used to make fire for cooking or for forging iron and smelting copper, it is definitely better than charcoal. It is also very suitable for heating in winter!"
"And colored glaze... Look at the mirror in my hand. It's made of river sand. It's brighter and clearer than a bronze mirror! Do you see these colored glaze animal specimens? They're also made of river sand!"
"Then, the most important item, everyone, please pay attention...light the fire..."
As the last sound of Niu Wu rang out, bursts of crackling firecrackers and fireworks rising into the sky were heard.
Everyone looked at the fireworks in the sky in shock, and then looked at the fireworks exploding under the display stand. Everyone stood there in shock.
As Niu Wu introduced the products one by one, everyone was stunned and then became numb. Their minds were filled with information about all the products.
And the shock that he hadn't yet digested, these things were actually made by Jiang Fan digging stones, picking flowers and grass, and digging river water. How is this possible!
In particular, several princes and court officials could not accept this fact. They just stared blankly at the merchandise displayed by Niu Wu and the festive sounds of firecrackers and fireworks.
Emperor Yan looked at the merchandise in front of him. The expression on his face had never been calm since the first item appeared. He was filled with joy, and looked at the court officials and princes with a playful look.
The people in the audience, who were originally angry at the princes' ridicule of Jiang Fan, were now filled with joy and excitement. They almost jumped up and celebrated.
What news did they get? The news of the Eighth Prince's counterattack. At this time, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that although the Eighth Prince was supporting the people.
But he was not really supporting the people, but actually employing them to work for him. The appearance of these commodities showed everything.
As long as the victims continued to work for the Eighth Prince, they would always have work to do, food to eat, and money to earn. They could also help the Eighth Prince create endless wealth.
If this is the case and someone still says that this is providing for the people, then the person who says this is either stupid or has a problem with his brain being stuck in the door.
At the same time, various public notice offices in the capital also released a series of news, and officials explained to the people what Jiang Fan had done.
For a moment, the entire capital was in excitement, and everywhere one could hear the people's cheers and their support for Jiang Fan.
After all, they had always felt depressed because of what several princes and some court officials said, that the Eighth Prince was supporting the people and that this was an unfair victory.
But now, the Eighth Prince has proved with facts that everything he did was not at all what the other princes said.
He used facts to slap several princes and court officials in the face, and also gave an explanation to the people who were expecting Jiang Fan to break the impasse.
The people of the capital were delighted, and the atmosphere at the exhibition venue was even more lively.
Except for a few princes and court officials like Ye Ren who were dependent on the princes, who had bitter faces as if they had lost their parents and their faces were burning, other court officials congratulated Emperor Yan one after another.
The people even shouted that the Eighth Prince was wise and that the Emperor Yan lived long. The heads of the Chamber of Commerce were so excited that they almost rushed to the stage to discuss various commodity trading issues with Niu Wu.
If Emperor Yan had not been present, the entire venue would have been in chaos.
Even the small stove made of cement and bricks that had not yet completely dried made the eyes of many merchants shine.
Ever since they were shocked by the products that Niu Wu brought out, they regarded almost all the products made by Jiang Fan as treasures.
Seeing this lively scene, Emperor Yan was delighted.
When Niu Wu saw this, he raised his hand and everyone at the scene fell silent. Everyone looked at Niu Wu, thinking that he had other products to introduce.
Niu Wu glanced at the whole audience, then turned his gaze to the three pale-faced princes and Ye Ren and other court officials, and said in a playful voice:
"My princes, and all the lords, do you still think that my prince is supporting the people? I wonder if the livelihood that my prince has found for the people can still pass your test? You will not accuse my prince of cheating again, will you?"
As soon as Niu Wu said this, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince were immediately embarrassed and extremely ashamed and angry. Ye Ren and other dependent court officials even wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
"By the way, you can't buy these things with your one or two copper coins! Seeing how poor you all look, you must be very short of money. Otherwise, on behalf of my prince, I will reward you with one or two copper coins." Niu Wu continued to add.
As soon as he said this, the three princes and court officials who had just mocked him unscrupulously and laughed wildly suddenly blushed like monkeys' bottoms. For a moment, they were speechless.
This was a slap in their faces. The harsher they had mocked Jiang Fan just now, the more swollen their faces were now.
Didn't you say that the Eighth Prince would support the people? Didn't you say that he would sell stones? Now, not only did he not support the people, he didn't even sell stones.
Every product they bring out is unprecedented and epoch-making.
Not to mention refined salt, the value of the glass products made from river sand alone is beyond description, and the most valuable of them should be the mirror.
Moreover, Niu Wu's words of rewarding them with a copper coin and a half were equivalent to returning their words. Several princes and court officials were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood. Their faces felt swollen from being beaten.
