Chapter 190: Public Opinion
, I thought you were tired of your feet, why are you actually cramping your eyes now? ”
Gu Wan frowned, she really didn't urge the driver, leaned against the window, and her gaze slid from her weird shoes with a little surprise, and landed on Tang Hong's eyes that kept "twitching." //..
The corners of Mu Qi's mouth bent up slightly.
Gu Wan flew over with a roll of her eyes.
Tang Hong's face stiffened, and then she was full of laughter: "The princess said she laughed" Gu Wan glanced at her, and with a wave of her hand, the coachman threw off the whip, and the carriage immediately moved forward slowly, Mu Qi smiled, and rode the horse to follow, Tang Hong did not stop this time, but looked at Mu Qi and Gu Wan's eyes, which seemed to vaguely reveal a little fear or confusion.
The two of them had a tacit understanding to forget the little beauty Tang Hong who suddenly appeared together, and continued to shop.
Mu Qi is a man who can talk very well, and Gu Wan is also a woman who can talk very well, one of them rides a horse and the other rides a car, chattering about the dazzling handicrafts sold on the side of the road.
After playing for a long time, the two of them were satisfied, and then they began to slowly inspect Gu Wan's shop.
Gu Wan's shops in Beijing have more than a dozen, and the most popular one is not a famous store in the world, and even the dim sum paid tribute in the palace comes from here, nor is it a shop that sells glass that is still regarded as a luxury product, but a very inconspicuous food fast, called "Frangipani" and an ordinary finished medicine store that cannot be called high-end no matter where you look at it.
Eating fast was originally the dowry that Gu Wan prepared for the two girls, Baosheng and Baoqin.
Gu Wan specially prepared a small village for it to grow all kinds of ingredients, seasonings, and fresh vegetables and fruits, in addition to the chef, according to the recipes Gu Wan bought from the store, there are also retired imperial chefs to join, plus the head of the princess staring at the card, as soon as it opened, the business of the restaurant was booming, and the guests who had made reservations in less than a month were lined up for two months.
Gu Wan went to the restaurant and looked at the account books, although she was not shocked because she had seen too much, she was still amazed.
Mu Qi also smiled: "Our Wanniang is really a little rich woman." ”
The two of them sat on the special seat on the second floor of the dining room, watching the guests coming and going downstairs, all the clothes and jewelry are more luxurious, they generally go to the private room, and all the ordinary clothes are sitting in the lobby. //.. There are a lot of bonsai in the lobby, which are not very valuable, but they make this ordinary dining room a little elegant, and it can also form a partition to give guests a little privacy.
"I feel relieved to see people coming and going, all of them with ruddy and healthy faces." Mu Qi sighed.
Gu Wan glanced at him: "Don't think too well, it's still far from the peaceful and prosperous world now." "Mu Qi looks at Dayong City, and the eyes are naturally ordinary people who live well, this is Jingshi, people who can make a living in Jingshi, where can they mix badly, besides, if you really want to live in poverty, you won't go outside to eat in a restaurant!
Although her fasting is not a place where only the nobles of the kings and grandsons are allowed to eat, the quality of the dishes, dim sum, and tea chefs are all there, but they are not ruthless to make money, and ordinary people are reluctant to eat once or twice a year and a half!
Like most restaurants, there is a large platform with dancing girls.
Today is singing, singing "The concubine is drunk" to the point that it is not a famous role, the woman who plays the concubine is even very young, a little jerky, but the voice is indeed good.
When Gu Wan heard this, she didn't feel that she was praising it!
After the drunken performance of the concubine, an old man in a green robe read a business travel brochure from the Mu family's car dealership.
The content is not new, but it is still the story that Gu Wan took to print half a year ago, this time the story is about the talented and beautiful woman Feng Huā Xueyue, don't look at your own master after reading it, he laughed, and said it was too fake.
But today's people like to watch such illusory stories, even their own master, Lord Chen, is not shouting that it is too fake, but they like it very much, and they can't wait for Gu Wan to finish it in an hour for her pastime!
"Is the car dealership's brochure widely circulated? ,…
Originally, it was just to get out and let the businessmen advertise, go to a certain place, and be able to understand the local customs, but I didn't expect that now it is more and more widely spread, just Dayong, the folk have sprung up, and spontaneously popped up several powder pamphlets, some are very simple, only one is out a month, and some are three or two days to produce a copy, most of them are founded by relatively large businessmen, even if they are not profitable, those businessmen are still interested.
Advertising this tenon thing, any businessman, will definitely be able to smell the value inside!
In this era, there is no false advertising, but also pay attention to integrity, the bigger the businessman, the more attention to this "sincerity, word, all dishonest businessmen, business will never be able to continue."
Therefore, the common people still believe in the advertisements in the brochure.
It's a pity that there are not many literate people after all, and most of the people who buy these are scholars, and the business is not big, and because paper printing is not cheap, not only can they not make money, but they also have to make up for it.
Mu Qi listened to the old man on the stage reading with affection, and smiled: "I should let the eldest brother pay attention, it is better to grasp this kind of thing in the hands of the imperial court." "He's a smart guy, and I may not have thought it before, but as there are more and more pamphlets like this, I can naturally feel that something is wrong.
"The war on the frontier a while ago spread to the streets and alleys, and everyone knows it, and it's also because of this thing!" In the past, even if something happened on the frontier, it would take a lot of time to spread the word, but now, it is more than twice as fast.
Gu Wan smiled, thought about it, and nodded: "It's good to have some binding force, but it's not that this thing can't be used." Mu Qi closed his eyes, and many thoughts had already popped up in his mind, for a long time, and waited until the old man in the green robe was nearing the end of his reading, and then smiled: "I know that Wan Niang once tossed printing and papermaking with Liu Mutou, and can make cheaper paper, I will ask for a favor for my eldest brother, how about you sell the technology to him?" ”
At that time, his eldest brother will also run a booklet, and the eldest brother has power, money, and technology, and can reduce the price of the booklet to the lowest, which is certainly not comparable to other businessmen. Just write some things like the decrees that the court wants the people to understand, so that the emperor wants the people to know, which can only be conveyed layer by layer through the government, who knows what will happen in the process of transmission, and how far away from the original intention will be?
Another advantage is that if literati from all over the world are encouraged, even ordinary people can also contribute or provide some materials, it can also let the emperor understand the thoughts of the people.
The more he thought about it, the more Mu Qi felt that it was feasible.
"Okay, as long as it's real money, most things can still be sold." Gu Wan narrowed her eyes and agreed. Anyway, with Mu Qi here, she can't afford to lose.
Moreover, at this point, Gu Wan is no longer very interested in money, and if she wants to revitalize the family, it is not only money that can be used.
The old man in the green robe left, and a storyteller came up on the stage, speaking of which, this storytelling has only begun to rise in recent years, and some people have listened to the popular sayings in the temple before, and they told stories by themselves, but at that time there was no skill, but now it is different, a good storyteller, some big restaurants compete for employment, and the wages given are not worse than the pillars of some theater troupes.
This storyteller is talking about the story of Luo Hongying, the female general of the Mu family's army, Gu Wan can't help but laugh every time she listens to Luo Hongying's story, it seems that the general Luo in the mouth of every storyteller is copper skin and iron bones, ...
