"Flowers and a Full Moon" sold out all the records copied by Shangwen on the same day at the price of one and a half taels of a record. Even if it's sold out. People were still gathered together for a long time, and they didn't want to disperse.

This kind of music, which comes from folk art and can greatly express the joy of the people, has attracted attention from all sides. It has also been recognized by the people. It is believed that this is the first kind of music that can greatly express themselves.

"Flowers and Full Moon" is not the atmosphere and soothing of court music, but an extremely simple folk joy. This musical quality, which focuses on the people and despises the monarch, immediately touched everyone. Gramophones in Xianyang City began to be in short supply, and people negotiated with Shangwen in time to buy a part of the music patents. The people of Qin are very law-abiding, and they know that a technology has a patent fee. They believe that music is also a form of technology. So they spontaneously paid Shangwen the royalties and began to reproduce records on a large scale. For a time, the streets of Xianyang were full of a kind of joy and joy of life.

The cold wave also goes south from time to time, but it adds a kind of festivity to Xianyang that can only be found during the New Year, and major stores also play "Flowers and Full Moon" to attract customers, and people often enter to enjoy it because of music. Xianyang had a voice. It becomes lively.

The people of Qin are enjoying music, while the people of Zhao are enjoying "food". A kind of canned food called "delicious beef" is being promoted on a large scale. This plain canned food costs only five cents. And he weighs about the same as a pound of beef. The main reason why this canned beef is so cheap is that they have increased the starch content in the can. Reduced use of meat. That's why the price will drop from 10 to 5 cents all of a sudden.

Manufacturers and merchants in the Qin State began to pay attention to sales results. They found that Zhao was an emerging market. Zhao Min lived very hard before the economic cooperation between Qin and Zhao, and after the economic cooperation between Qin and Zhao. Zhao Ren began to have some savings. Before, they had a problem even eating. And these are all the great changes made by the Zhao people's labor export and the beginning of the opening of coal mines.

The export of labor services sent back a large amount of foreign exchange. These foreign exchange gave Zhao Min money in his pocket. It stands to reason that if you have money, you should spend it. However, the sales performance of Qin merchants was not satisfactory except for a few big cities in Handan and Yunzhong. The Qin people should use their brains just like their technical researchers. They went down to visit and soon understood what the problem was.

Zhao Min was scared. I'm really scared of poverty. As soon as they have money, they pay 10 percent of the tax, and then all the rest of the money is used to buy grain and hide it. This practice led to the large-scale tilt of grain, wheat, and flour in the Qin state towards these regions. As for meat, except for big cities like Handan, no one else spends a penny to buy it. Although it is only ten cents, ten cents is compared to flour and other foods. Or is the latter in great demand.

As a result, the meat merchants of the Qin State began to come up with ideas around the price, first of all, they developed low-cost canned beef. The cost of this kind of canned food is controlled at about one cent, and through transportation, there is half a cent of transportation costs, plus warehousing and sales. The cost is strictly controlled within two cents. In order to quickly open up the emerging market of Zhao, the businessmen made great efforts. They started to run large-scale promotions. Gather Zhao Guoren's own agents and let them sell canned food to Zhao people at a flat price in ox carts. Whoever buys more earns more. The Qin people gave them half a share of the profits.

The large-scale promotion of the Qin people, the vigorous shouting of the agents of the Zhao State. Let the sales of this canned food start to rise steadily.

Maybe the Zhao people have stored enough food. Families had their cellars stocked with grain, and people began to pay attention to supplementing other foods, perhaps to go out to improve their diet, or to be curious. In short, some Zhao people started buying this cheap canned food.

People follow the example of a merchant to open a canning box and pour out the beef. Although the Qin people increased the starch content, the long-lost smell of meat made the Zhao people couldn't help but touch the inside of the canned food with their hands and put it on their tongues, and the children always rushed to take away the canned food box because there was a meat smell inside. And the canned box has become a new toy for children and a capital to show off.

With meat, the Zhao people want to eat a good meal. As a result, people imitated the water bag hall set up by the Qin people in Handan. That is, dumplings, they mix minced beef and radish together to make a dew filling, and then roll out the dough with mixed flour to wrap it. Bring to a boil. The aroma of dumplings attracted neighbors, and people began to buy such canned food after trying each other. After hearing that this kind of food could be stored for three months, the bold Zhao people actually bought a lot of it and saved it in one go.

Gradually, others began to do the same. As a result, the sales of canned food in the Qin State began to increase significantly. Plain canned food is the first step, which opened the beginning of Zhao people's consumption. It was also the first time that the Zhao people began to eat beef on a large scale. Meat began to enter the rice bowl of the Zhao people. Although there are only once or twice a month to eat meat. But that's for them. Very satisfied.

In order to satisfy the need to eat meat. The Zhao people began to try their best to make money on a large scale. The opening of coal mines began to solve the labor problem. Some of the soldiers who retired from the disarmament went into the coal mines to mine coal. The transportation of coal to the outside world also caused many people to drive ox carts to Langmeng County in Qin, because the road was not easy to walk. The Qin people were reluctant to go. Engineers in the Qin State were stepping up to renovate the roads. This gives these Zhao people the opportunity to find employment. They drove ox carts and began to transport coal out. It's not just coal. And iron ingots.

Coal and iron are always found together. Zhao also began large-scale iron smelting, and coal increased the furnace temperature. Making iron smelting not a big problem. However, their own demand is not very strong, and they use it to make weapons and agricultural tools. Whereas the Qin state used to continue processing and smelting steel, which was then processed into various mechanical parts and building materials.

In this way, the Zhao people mobilized nationwide. The women began to gather together to work in the Qin State, and the men either went out to fight, or transported coal and iron ingots. Although it is hard, people's quality of life is improving. And this kind of life is far faster than farming. Make money fast. Well fed. There is really hope for life.

Zhao Ren's life has taken off. And just the beginning. If you want to change, Zhao people have to change many things. For example, paying taxes. Zhao's ten-percent tax was only temporary, floating, and unstable. King Zhao's will can break this lower tax at any time.
