Chapter 539 Carriage Shuttle
Seeing the curious look on Fourth Brother's face, Shen Yueyao smiled, then went forward and bought a newspaper, handed it to Fourth Brother and said, "You and Fourth Sister-in-law will know after you take a look."
"This is the newspaper."
In fact, there is no need to explain, just read the newspaper and you will know what the content is.
It just so happened that my fourth brother and sister-in-law were both literate, so they didn’t need anyone’s help to read the contents of the newspaper.
Shen Shaojing and Ning Mianmian read the newspaper together.
When they saw the content of the newspaper article, both of them were shocked.
"This...this is the newspaper. There are articles on it?"
“Is this some policy issued by Hezhou?”
"I didn't expect to see it here. There's even an article from the academy... Is this talking about the food at the dock shops?"
"Paper, this is about paper. Is paper so cheap now?"
Looking at the price of paper written in the newspaper and the address of the store where he could buy paper, Shen Shaojing was stunned.
Everyone suspected that they had seen it wrong.
He rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he was seeing things.
Shen Yueyao said: "I have been busy with papermaking and printing recently. Now the workshop is running normally. There are managers watching over it, so I don't have to worry too much."
She added, "This newspaper is printed using printing technology. Otherwise, it would be impossible to write so many copies by hand."
When Shen Shaojing and Ning Mianmian heard this, they couldn't help but reach out and touch the newspaper.
"This paper is of really good quality. It looks thin, but it's actually very strong. You can actually write on both sides, and the writing won't soak through the paper..."
As Shen Shaojing spoke, he couldn't let it go.
Ning Mianmian also nodded continuously, "This paper is really good, not only is it good but it's also so cheap."
Ning Mianmian was moved by what she saw and thought that her sister-in-law was simply amazing.
It turns out that such good and cheap paper has been produced.
There will be more scholars in the Great Yan Dynasty who can afford to buy paper and read books, right?
Paper alone can save a lot of money.
Shen Yueyao said: "Sijie likes it, I will give some to Sijie, you and Sijie can use it for writing."
Ning Mianmian said embarrassedly: "Then we won't be polite. These papers can be used for accounting."
There are many hotpot chain restaurants, and there are many accounts that need to be kept.
It’s much more convenient to have these papers.
Shen Shaojing looked at the gourmet shop in the newspaper and said, "Sister, so many people read the newspaper. If this gourmet shop is reported in the newspaper, its business will definitely be very popular."
He thought to himself that this must be related to what his sister usually talked about, about advertising.
Shen Yueyao said: "Yes, this Yunlailou is a restaurant opened by Ruoyun. It will open in two days, so let's promote it."
"If the stalls or food stores nearby want to advertise in the newspaper, they need to pay advertising fees."
"Or if someone wants to publicize something, they can write it in the newspaper, but they need to pay a fee."
"Add to that the money everyone spends on newspapers, and we can use it to pay our employees."
At the beginning, the newspaper was only distributed in the academy, and everyone responded very well.
The students in the academy all like to read newspapers.
Especially some news in the newspapers about scientific research and study are also very helpful to them.
And the inspirational interviews of celebrities mentioned above can also inspire them.
Some good books will also be serialized in newspapers for everyone to read.
Because some people outside the academy rarely have the opportunity to read books for free.
A newspaper costs two cents, and many people buy it and pass it around, and they can learn a lot from it.
She also had some of Hezhou's customs and folkways published in the newspaper.
For example, information about which village grows what crops and which village is good at spinning and weaving is published in the newspaper, and some small merchants also know where to buy things.
It can increase trade in Hezhou.
This newspaper plays a great role.
Shen Yueyao explained it briefly to her fourth brother and his wife, and after they understood, they understood it better.
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother. If you open a hot pot restaurant, I will also help you promote it in the newspaper."
Shen Shaojing said happily: “I know my sister is good.”
If it weren't for his sister, he wouldn't be able to open so many hotpot chain restaurants.
Not to mention coming to Hezhou for a visit.
In the past, he just wandered around Xinghua Village and had never even been to the provincial capital.
But now he not only went to the provincial capital, but also came to Hezhou.
As the group was talking, they got on a carriage not far away.
"Fourth brother and sister-in-law, you must be tired from traveling. I will take you home to rest, wash up, and have dinner first."
"Tomorrow I'll bring you to the pier for dinner and let you taste the local delicacies."
Shen Shaojing said: "I smell a very strong fragrance here, there must be a lot of good things."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "You'll know when Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law try it. We've recently introduced a lot of delicious food, and we're also encouraging local people to open shops and make some delicious food."
"Don't mention it, after doing this, many local people actually set up some food stalls."
"Such as wraps, scallion pancakes, egg pancakes, etc., they all taste very good."
“It’s cheap, so people who come to shop like to buy one to try.”
Ning Mianmian looked at the dock and said, "I remember that many wealthy families don't like to eat at street stalls."
Shen Yueyao said: "The stalls here are all managed in a unified manner. They are very clean and have seats for eating. In addition, there are newspapers for sale, so many people are willing to buy some snacks while shopping."
“In fact, there are more delicious foods in the stalls. It’s quite nice to eat while walking around.”
This will make shopping fun.
In the age of technology, many people go to night market snack stalls to eat delicious food.
The two men got on the carriage and both felt that the carriage was very different.
Shen Shaojing asked: "Sister, did you rebuild the carriage?"
He remembered that when he was in his hometown, his sister bought a horse and designed the carriage according to her own preferences.
Carriages like that are very large and spacious.
Shen Yueyao said: "Well, there are many cabinets in the carriage with folding tables and chairs in them. If you go on a long journey, you can put a table in the carriage to eat. If you don't need it, you can fold it up and put it away."
"This is just one type of carriage. I just designed a larger one to use as a shuttle bus for my employees."
Yes, some of the people employed in Shen Yueyao’s shop and workshop live far away from home.
Shen Yueyao arranged a horse-drawn carriage, just like the buses in the technological age, the carriages were completely different. Everyone could sit or stand, and several horses pulled the carriage together, which made it convenient to take everyone home on weekends and pick everyone up to work on weekdays.
Upon hearing this, Shen Shaojing couldn't wait to take a look.
"Sister, I want to take a look. If it works well, I plan to use this shuttle bus in Xinghua Village as well."
Shen Yueyao asked, "Do you need it too?"
Shen Shaojing nodded and said, "That's right. All the villagers near Xinghua Village who can use it have used it. Many of them are from the prefectural city. Their homes are far away. If there is a shuttle bus like what you said, it will be more convenient for them to go to and from work."
“This way everyone can work in the workshop and farm shop with peace of mind.”
