Chapter 1525 Changes in Wu Zhong
Everyone has a love of beauty.
And every era has different perceptions and views on beauty.
As silk was opened to the people, high-end items that were previously only used for royal families and nobles will surely arouse enthusiasm of the people.
Ordinary civilians may not be able to afford a large amount of silk, but some small and exquisite items, such as a silk squid, a scarf, or a ribbon for tying their hair, can add another kind of beauty to themselves and satisfy their psychological pursuit of this high-end fabric.
At least 90% of the people in the entire Qin Dynasty could not afford silk.
And 90% of the people is also a huge market that cannot be ignored.
Using high-end silk to build a low-end market may be redundant in terms of kings, princes, ministers and wealthy classes, but for business, this is a huge way to make money.
In fact, the more inconspicuous a product is, the greater the ultimate benefit.
Just like soap must make money than perfume, the demand positioning is different because the number of audiences varies too much, and the economic benefits that will eventually be generated are also incomparable.
Qinghe Shopping Mall operates high-end luxury goods, but Qinghe Park will definitely be able to win by novelty and exquisiteness in the future. On the contrary, the more affordable the price, the better.
In the exhibition room, Emperor Qin and all the young masters and officials accompanied him praised them. They carefully watched each product of color. There were even many people who secretly stuffed them into their sleeves while watching. The supervisor of Guangling Silk Factory who accompanied him made his forehead sweat, but he didn't dare to put one of them.
Chen Xu, who had been with the First Emperor, was also thrust in his face. Damn, the doctor Qinghou, who was all like a slut, actually had this bad habit.
Especially the gangster father-in-law, the culprit.
Chen Xu saw with his own eyes that he was the first to stuff a pair of ducks embroidered with a pair of ducks embroidered into his sleeves, and then looked around and thought no one noticed them. So he was out of control and he became more and more uncontrollable. The more he stuffed the gauze scarf, the scarf, the scarf, and the hair were all the way away. The two sleeves looked bulging like pregnancy, and even wanted to stuff a few embroidered round fans in. As a result, they were too big and had no choice, so they threw them on the counter unhappily. However, after his persistence, he still stuffed two folding fans into his arms before he stopped.
Meng Yi was stealing things so blatantly that many Gongziqinghou behind him could see clearly, and they all looked around and started learning. So after dozens of officials Gongziqinghou who followed the inspection, the exhibition room was almost half missing, and even samples from several categories were not left.
"Well, these exhibits are exquisite and beautiful, and they are also very practical. The dear friends of the Silk Factory have done well. These samples are made according to the royal patterns drawn by the Ministry of Rites. I can take them back to serve as gifts...^"
After the tour along the way, Emperor Qin Shi was about to start placing an order, but when he looked back, his mouth was wide open. He saw that there were still various silk samples hanging on the walls and on the counter just now, and there were only a few sparse left.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Silk Factory has received the drawings from the Ministry of Rites, and all kinds of samples are in full specifications. Since Your Majesty needs it, I will immediately arrange for Weaver to speed up the production!" The head of the factory was sweating on his forehead and quickly agreed.
"Well, according to the level of concubines in the harem, there are ten sets of concubines, five sets of concubines, three sets of wife, and one set of imperial women. The rest of the palace women are the same. Make a complete set of concubines as soon as possible and send them to Xianyang..."
After a brief shock, Emperor Qin Shi came to his senses and quietly took a folding fan with the Great Wall pattern from the exhibition stand, shaking it apart with a snap, and then took a small step out of the showroom.
With the lead of the First Emperor, the princes and hou who came out from behind all learned to behave well. Everyone waved a folding fan out in a swagger. When the folding fan behind was gone, they stole a round fan. The round fan behind was gone, and there were even people shaking handkerchiefs of various colors, like a group of old turtle men who were soliciting prostitutes in the garden.
When the last official who accompanied him walked out of the showroom, the colorful showroom seemed to be looted by bandits. The whole room was messy and most of the exhibits disappeared. You can even see the official who walked out of the showroom's cuffs falling out of the cuffs. A long red hairband fell out from behind the father-in-law's butt, and he waved a pink peach blossom fan embroidered with swaying all the way.
"Mr. Marquis, I can't blame me!" The director of the silk factory almost cried as Chen Xu looked at the thrusting face.
"Oh, okay, you can't blame me for this. You can arrange someone to make preparations for the goods I want. There is no need to be too sophisticated, just novel!"
Chen Xuyangtian sighed and left with his hands behind his back. He followed a large group of young masters and marquis, looking at all the enchanting figures, his face was so thrusting that he couldn't stop.
After inspecting the Guangling Silk Factory and taking a day off and tasting the local specialty fried rice, the First Emperor's parade team drove across the Yangtze River to inspect Wuzhong.
Wuzhong in mid-May is midsummer.
The scenery of the five lakes is in full bloom, the lotus leaves on the thousand-mile lake shore are green and the lotus leaves are fragrant, the lotus roots are fresh and fish and shrimps are fat, and it is also the time when the lake clams come out of water and spit out beads.
The First Emperor came to Wuzhong again this time. It has been six years since he last visited. The changes in the six years can be said to be earth-shaking. The huge changes surprised and amazed the First Emperor and the officials accompanying him.
The ten young masters who have passed away were even more dumbfounded by the prosperity of Wuzhong. They never thought that in the Wuyue land thousands of miles away from the capital, there was such a bustling and bustling city. In their hearts, they always thought that Xianyang was the most prosperous and lively center of the world. But now it seems that although the population of Wuzhong is less than half of Xianyang, the prosperity is not much inferior. There are almost all of Xianyang here, and there are also many that are not Xianyang, and many are even more interesting.
Even Chen Xu, who had just left for less than a year, found that Wu Zhong's changes seemed to surprise him even more.
Although Gusu University has not yet been completed, various supporting facilities have been completed. According to the county government's arrangements, school will be opened this year as soon as possible.
At the beginning of the school year of Gusu University, a large number of low-level officials with professional qualities will be cultivated in the future to enrich the grassroots of counties and counties, and will promote the rapid development of the southeastern counties.
It is said that knowledge changes destiny. These students who enter university systematic study will not only change their own destiny in the future, but also change the destiny of Daqin.
The Southern Business Daily Museum, prepared by Daqin Metropolis Daily, has been completed, and the office space and type printing factory have been completed. Two trial publications of Southern Business Daily were conducted at the end of April and early May. Although the number was only more than 2,000 copies, it still caused robbery from local people in Wuzhong.
The publication of Southern Business Daily means that the South has finally had its own newspaper, which will inevitably bring the freshest current affairs news and chat topics to the people in the south in the future, greatly enriching the spiritual entertainment life of the people in the south.
The Daqin Metropolitan Daily focuses on politics and culture, and is mainly responsible for spreading court decrees, guiding public opinion orientation, promoting political concepts, and promoting reform and governing the country experience.
The original intention of the establishment of Southern Business Daily was to rely on the current rapidly developing economy as the core and take business as the theme. It increased efforts in current affairs news, economic development, commercial investment, overseas information, etc., collect and organize a large amount of business information, and concentrate chambers of commerce, exhibitions, professional markets, engineering investment, and business trends everywhere, providing businessmen across the country with detailed and fast business information and guiding the healthy development of business.
From Chen Xu's experience in later generations, the south will be the focus of the rise and development of the Qin Dynasty in the future. With the rise of overseas exploration and maritime trade, Wuzhong's future development is unlimited.
In addition to Gusu University and Southern Metropolis Daily, another thing that made Emperor Shi very interested was the Wuwang Palace Commercial Pedestrian Street project.
The project started construction last fall, with a total investment of more than 40 million yuan. In terms of commercial volume, it is second only to the Cuju Commercial Plaza in Xianyang, and the scale and effect will not be smaller, because the project covers a much larger area than the Cuju venue, and integrates catering, shops and leisure and entertainment, forming a huge commercial cluster. After all, it is completely like a county town.
According to the current development speed and prospects of Wuzhong, the huge scale of the Wuwang Palace Commercial Pedestrian Street project will form a strong cluster effect, attracting a large number of commercial investments to join in, and rapidly expanding around to become another brand new sub-center of the city. The strong commercial atmosphere will also drive more industries and people to gather here.
In the future, Wuzhong will inevitably use the current Wuzhong County and the former site of the Wuwang Palace as dual cores to slowly expand to form a huge city.
The scale of Wuzhong may be larger and more lively than Xianyang in the future.
It will gradually become the economic and commercial center of Daqin, and the financial industry will also flourish.
To create a Shanghai that is the Qin Dynasty, this is what Chen Xu imagined.
And Wuzhong has more than these changes. The emerging sugar is also something that Emperor Shin-Emperor and all his entourages miss. So a group of people braved the scorching heat and the scorching sun to see the newly built sugar factory outside the city.
The production of new sugar in summer has stopped, but work is still continuing for the sugar factory, because Chen Xu asked the sugar factory to continue to improve the process, use the original brown sugar to research and make white sugar and rock sugar, and even use the existing brown sugar to develop more varieties of commercial desserts, such as candy, lollipop, malt sugar, nougat, mint candy, hawthorn sugar, and fruit candy with various fruit flavors.
In this era of material poverty, sugar is a product that quickly replenishes body nutrition, which is expensive and rare.
