Chapter 203: Benefiting the Country and the People
Such a magical and easy-to-use pen only costs 10 yuan!
I heard from the clerks that buying one can last a long time!
Even if the durability is not as good as that of a brush, he doesn't use ink for a pencil!
It is easy to carry, and can even be used as a hairpin, which can be written anytime and anywhere.
If you want to say that the only drawback, it may be that after getting used to writing with a brush, you can use a relatively hard pencil, and the difference in feel is not used to it for a while.
But that's not a problem!
Compared with easy use and saving money, how can it be a problem if you are not used to it?
If you don't get used to it, wouldn't it be nice if you got used to it!
After getting used to it, the students were pleasantly surprised to find that they could easily write very small words with a pencil, which did not take up space at all.
Originally, it might have taken a cart of bamboo slips to barely finish writing a book.
You can use new paper and pencil instead, and when you finish writing a book, it's not much thicker than the Reader!
Not to mention that the paper is lightweight, even if it is ten times thicker than the "Reader", at most it is a little difficult to hold with one hand, and it must be placed on the table to read.
Compared with the bamboo slips that usually have to pull several carts at every turn, the entire study room is full of bamboo slips, and there are no books to collect.
A brick-sized "book" is nothing!
And most importantly, with cheap new paper and pencils, the price of books has plummeted!
Many students who can't afford to buy books for the time being and can only borrow and copy books have also skyrocketed in the efficiency of copying books, and the price paid is very little!
With these advantages, new paper and pencils quickly became popular throughout Chang'an City!
Later, even the shopkeepers and bookkeepers who did business used pencils and new paper.
The water signs of major restaurants have also changed from engraving to pencil writing, saving businessmen an unknown amount of cost.
The reputation of Dahan Department Store has also risen again!
I have to say that the praise from the readers, the gold content and singing degree are much stronger than the people.
It didn't take long for some students to put together a plaque of "Benefiting the Country and the People" and sending it to the Marquis of Anding Mansion as a gift.
It is said that the inscription on the plaque is still written by the famous Confucian Dong Zhongshu himself!
Tang Qi couldn't laugh or cry about this.
Sure enough, the power of the pen is powerful, and he worked hard to make the people of Chang'an eat cheap oil and salt, and he can often eat meat, and his influence is not as great as that of paper and pen!
Also thanks to new paper and pencils, and the Reader.
has transformed Dahan Department Store from a smoky grocery store into a store that appreciates both elegance and vulgarity, and has been forced to raise the standard by more than one grade.
Scholars and scholars who were reluctant to go shopping before because of their status also began to pour in.
It doesn't matter what you actually buy.
In short, the number of people who "go to the supermarket" is starting to climb.
The scholars also pay attention to an elegant, unlike the people who see the target and buy and leave, they like to watch the goods and comment at the same time, and they also chant poems when they are interested.
It can be said that it is a real "supermarket visit".
As a direct result, the traffic of Dahan Department Store continues to rise, and even though there are 4 stores in Chang'an, the degree of congestion is still getting worse and worse.
If it weren't for the hard backstage of Dahan Department Store, I'm afraid that there would have been evil servants of the family who began to guard the storefront and prevent the poor ghosts from entering to disturb their master's Yaxing!
In the end, there was no choice but to further expand the store and divide the different supplies.
Pots and pans are assigned to the daily use area, books, paper and pens are placed in the stationery area, and snacks are placed in the fast food area.
However, in this way, the goods in many regions seem too simple.
Especially the stationery area and the fast food area.
In the stationery area, it is good to say that although the goods are only "Reader" and new paper and pencils, the readers will not look shivering if they are forced there.
The fast food area is a bit pitiful.
There are only spicy dried seeds and bean curd, etc., and as a snack area, the variety is not as rich as that of the village shops in later generations.
There's no way around it.
In the fast food area, because many things need to be vacuum-packed, the Western Han Dynasty really can't produce plastics, and Tang Qi needs to constantly replenish them in the system.
Vacuum packaging itself is not expensive, but it adds up to a lot of money.
Moreover, the workshop in Zhuangzi focuses on the study of military and civilian objects, and does not pay much attention to the food itself, and of course the variety cannot be enriched.
Before, all kinds of goods were piled together, and they looked inconspicuous.
Now that the various areas are separated, the categories of snacks are too few and stand out.
This kind of problem is not a problem at all in other places.
If there is less variety, there will be less, and it will be popular enough!
But in Tang Qi's eyes, it's a little spicy.
A "fast food area" that can be counted with one hand for a product category, and dare you say that it is a place to buy snacks?
No, I need to get something to eat!
There is also a stationery area, and the categories have to be richer.
But I can't rush for a while, but as long as I eat with snacks, I can still make some.
Tang Qi returned to the house, and sure enough, he found that Liu Ju and Wei Yan's two little dolls were there, and his eyes lit up when he saw him, and he came up and asked to explain the experimental process.
After being complained by Liu Che, the "parent", Tang Qi simply built a separate courtyard in the mansion and used it as a "laboratory" for the little prince.
Liu Ju was so happy that he ran to the Marquis of Anding's mansion when he was free, and he didn't return at night without moving, and Liu Che was actually happy to see it.
Later, whether it was the Hou Mansion's family or the prince's guards, they didn't bother to report.
Anding the Marquis Mansion has become the second home of the little prince!
As the prince's companion, Wei Yan naturally often goes in and out of the Marquis of Anding's mansion, just like Liu Ju's small pendant.
In normal times, of course, Tang Qi didn't mind giving lessons to the two dolls, taking exams or something.
But not today.
After thinking about it, looking at Liu Ju and Wei Yan's blank eyes, Tang Qi smiled, and simply took the two little dolls to Zhuangzi together.
Social practice is also part of learning!
The current Tang family manor is different, since the goiter incident, from time to time people from all over the world go to the gate of Zhuangzi.
It's not noisy or noisy, just light the incense on the spot and bow down!
He said that he was grateful for the life-saving grace of An Dinghou, and he also asked that He Jinghou could continue to bless them.
Tang Qi was speechless.
In the end, there was no choice but to build a small ancestral hall at the entrance of Zhuangzi for the people to burn incense.
Tang Qi and the others could no longer go through the main gate when they entered and exited Zhuangzi, otherwise they would be surrounded by excited people, and they could only go through the side door.
"It's sneaky when I go home, it's like cheating."
In this regard, Tang Qi complained a lot.
Zhuangzi is also divided into several large areas.
The largest natural area is the living quarters, where farmers and craftsmen live.
The farming, breeding, and workshop areas are also separated, and no one is allowed to enter casually except for relevant personnel.
Tang Qi came to the chicken farm in Zhuangzi.
