Chapter 203 Benefiting the country and the people
Such a magical and easy-to-use pen costs only 10 cents!
I heard from the clerks that buying one will last for a long time!
Even if the durability is not as good as that of a brush, he doesn’t need ink on the pencil!
It is convenient to carry and can even be used as a hairpin and can be written anytime, anywhere.
The only disadvantage may be that after getting used to writing a brush, then using a relatively hard pencil, the difference in hand feel will not get used to it for a while.
But this is not a problem!
Compared with the easy-to-use and save money, how can it be considered a problem if it is not used to the touch?
If you are not used to it, wouldn’t it be better if you are used to it!
After getting used to it, the students were surprised to find that using pencils can easily write small words without taking up any space.
It was possible that I would have to have a cart of bamboo slips to barely finish a book.
You can use new paper and pencil instead. After writing a book, it will not be much thicker than the "Reading Book"!
Not to mention that the paper is light, even if it is ten times thicker than the "Reading Book", at most it is a little hard to hold with one hand and must be placed on the table before reading it.
Compared to the bamboo slips that usually take several carts of bamboo slips, the entire study room is filled with bamboo slips, and there are not many books in total.
What is a "book" the size of a brick?
Of course, the most important thing is that with cheap new paper and pencils, the price of books plummeted!
Many students who can’t afford to buy books for the time being and can only copy books have their efficiency soared and the price they pay is very small!
With these advantages, new paper and pencils quickly became popular throughout Chang'an City!
Later, the shopkeepers and accountants used pencils and new paper.
The water signs in major restaurants have also changed from carving to pencil writing, saving business people countless costs.
The reputation of Dahan Department Store has once again risen!
I have to say that it comes from the praise of scholars, and its value and popularity are much better than those of the people.
Not long after, the students gathered a plaque that "benefits the country and the people" and delivered it to the Anding Marquis' Mansion as a gift.
It is said that the inscription on the plaque was written by the famous scholar Dong Zhongshu!
Tang Qi was also amused and crying about this.
Sure enough, the power of the pen is powerful. He worked hard to make the people of Chang'an eat cheap oil and salt, and could eat meat regularly, but his influence was not as great as paper and pen!
Thanks to new paper and pencils, as well as the Reading Book.
The Dahan Department Store has transformed from a smoky grocery store into a shop that is appreciated by both the elite and the masses, and its quality has been improved by more than one level.
The scholars and scholars who were unwilling to go shopping due to their identity began to gradually pour in.
It’s not important to buy books, paper and pens.
In short, the number of people who "shop in supermarkets" has begun to rise.
The scholars also pay attention to elegance, unlike the people who buy it with the right goal and leave. They like to watch the products and comment on them, and they even recite poems and essays when they are interested.
It can be said to be a real "shopping in supermarkets".
The direct result is that Dahan Department Store's customer flow continues to rise. Even if Chang'an has 4 stores, the crowding is still getting worse.
If the backend of the Dahan Department Store was not strong enough, I would have probably had evil servants from aristocratic families beginning to guard the store and prevent the poor from coming in to disturb the good mood of their owners!
In the end, there is no way, so I can only expand the store further and divide the different supplies into sections.
Pots and pans are included in 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 commodities in many regions appear too single.
Especially the stationery area and fast food area.
The stationery area is okay. Although the products are only "Reader" and new paper and pencils, scholars are there, and there are fewer varieties and will not look chilling.
The fast food area is a bit pitiful.
There are only spicy dried seeds and tofu, etc. As a snack area, the variety is not as rich as that of later rural convenience stores.
This is also impossible.
Because many things need to be vacuum-packed in the fast food area, the Western Han Dynasty really couldn't produce plastic, so Tang Qi needed to be constantly replenished in the system.
Vacuum packaging itself is not expensive, but it is also a considerable expense to accumulate small amounts of money.
Moreover, the focus of the workshops in the village is on studying military and civilian objects. They are not very concerned about food itself, so of course they cannot enrich the varieties.
All kinds of goods were piled up together before, and they were not conspicuous.
Now that each area is separated, too few snacks will become prominent.
This kind of problem is not a problem in other places.
If there are fewer varieties, just less, and if it is popular enough, it will be successful!
But in Tang Qi's eyes, it was a little bit eye-catching.
A "fast food area" that can be counted in one product at a time, but dare you say it is a place to buy snacks?
No, I have to make more food!
There is also a stationery area, and the categories must be more abundant.
But I couldn't be anxious for a while, so I could still make some food with snacks.
Tang Qi returned to the mansion and found that Liu Ju and Wei Kang were both there. When he saw him, his eyes lit up and he came up to explain the experiment process.
After being complained by Liu Che, the "parent", Tang Qi simply built a separate yard in the mansion and used it as a "laboratory" for the little prince.
Liu Ju was extremely happy. When he got nothing, he ran to Anding Hou Mansion. He still stayed at night at any time. Liu Che was actually happy to see it.
Later, neither the family of the Hou Mansion nor the Prince's Guards were both too lazy to report.
The Anding Marquis Mansion has become the second home of the little prince!
As the prince's companion, Wei Kang naturally often went to Anding Hou Mansion, just like Liu Ju's small pendant.
In the past, Tang Qi certainly didn't mind teaching two dolls or taking exams.
But not today.
After thinking about it, looking at Liu Ju and Wei Kang's eyes, Tang Qi smiled and simply took two little babies to the village together.
Social practice is also a part of learning!
The Tang Family Manor is different now. Since the thyroid enlargement, people from all over the world have gone to the gate of the village from time to time.
It’s neither arguing nor arguing, it’s just lit the incense and bowing!
It is said that it is thankful for An Dinghou's life-saving grace, and also that An Dinghou can 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 the village to burn incense for the people.
Tang Qi and others could not walk through the main entrance when they entered and left the village, otherwise they would be surrounded by excited people and could only walk through the side entrance.
"I'm still sneaky when I go home, like an affair."
Tang Qi complained a lot about this.
The village was also divided into several large areas.
The biggest nature is the living area, where the farmer and craftsmen live.
Farming, breeding and workshop areas are also separated, and no entry is allowed except for relevant personnel.
