Even the emperor has moved out to advertise for them, will the effect be bad? These days, powerful and wealthy people are staring at Guochanglong, wanting to see when they will launch iodized salt. No matter how effective it is If it's bad, you have to get some to try first.
Amidst the endless calls, iodized salt appeared. However, it is not sold to ordinary people, but only to members. This is beyond people's expectations and has caught the attention of many people. Especially when seeing the price of iodized salt It is actually a hundred times that of table salt. When one hundred grams costs twenty taels of silver, I don’t know how many people are cursing that Guo Changlong is too shameless and has fallen into the eyes of money.
There are also some people who simply appeal to the people around them not to apply for membership cards and just wait until everyone abandons iodized salt. At that time, Guochanglong had no choice but to lower the price. Only by buying it at that time can you reap the benefits. when.
It can be said that as soon as the membership card system appeared, there were many onlookers and no one actually took action. Some people who had decided to apply for the card wanted to see how Guochanglong would deal with such a deadlock.
In the inner courtyard behind Guochanglong's main store, Shen Ao was slowly tasting the hot tea in front of him. He was living very comfortably for a while, eating food made from iodized salt, and there was an unlimited supply for him. I feel that my body seems to be much better than before. I have been exercising with Shi Lei and others these days, and I obviously feel that my body is a bit stronger than before.
If this continues, Shen Ao is confident that he can grow to 1.80 meters in height as an adult. In this era, he is already considered tall.
Compared with Shen Ao's calmness, the eldest princess sitting next to her was far inferior. At this time, she was a little excited, a little worried, and even a little nervous.
Ever since she learned about Shen Ao's membership card system, she has been under tremendous pressure. In her mind, selling goods means selling goods. If you have good goods, you don't have to worry about selling them, such as good things like iodized salt. , her mansion was also given away a lot by Shen Ao, which is also one of the rights of her big boss. This is what the saying goes.
Because she had already tasted the benefits of iodized salt, the eldest princess believed that it was only a matter of time before this product was accepted by everyone, and it was normal for it to be snapped up. Why bother to get a membership card?
Her mood was up and down, and she was afraid that no one would apply for the membership card, and she would end up screwing it up. If she sells iodized salt in public, she can still make money, but her reputation will be lost. How embarrassing is that?
Especially since the membership card requires so much money to be injected at one time, do you really think that everyone is a fool and has no place to put the money? It can be said that the eldest princess is not optimistic about this membership card system from the bottom of her heart. It’s just that she knows better. Now Guo Changlong no longer has the final say, or that there is no problem if he leaves him, but if he leaves Shen Ao, he will never be able to survive.
Considering the emperor's brother's attitude and looking at Guo Changlong's current situation, the eldest princess simply ignored it and let Shen Ao do what he wanted. Thinking of this, her high-spirited heart actually felt better.
Deng Deng Deng... There were footsteps in the front hall, and the figure of the second shopkeeper Fan Bai appeared. He first bowed respectfully to the princess, and then looked at Shen Ao who was sitting aside, with a very serious look on his face. He looked with admiration and said: "My lord, a lot of people have gathered outside, but they are all watching the excitement. So far, no membership card has been issued."
"Well, let's adopt the second plan. Remember, hang the portrait first, don't make a mistake." Shen Ao seemed to have known the result for a long time. He sighed in his heart. I am afraid that many people have the concept of advanced consumption. I can't figure it out.
Fortunately, Shen Ao had already considered this outcome, so he made arrangements early.
As soon as she heard that it was about hanging a portrait, the eldest princess's face turned red with embarrassment.
Shen Ao's painting skills are very good, and can even be said to be very powerful. His strong learning spirit is praised by his friends. As long as Shen Ao works hard, there seems to be nothing that he cannot learn, cannot learn well, or cannot learn well.
Since he had this advantage, and considering that the ancients loved fame more than money, Shen Ao thought of using portraits to attract people, and added verses specially mentioned for the portraits. This would be a thing that will last forever, so why worry that no one will come? ?
In this way, the eldest princess became Shen Ao's first color drawing subject.
There is a saying among those who practice sketching that they should draw the bones first.
You have to understand the bone marrow structure of the human body in order to find the various points and draw sharp-edged characters.
Having met the eldest princess many times and knowing her appearance by heart, the eldest princess who was seated at the throne allowed Shen Ao to spread a large piece of white paper in front of her, and then her pen fell like rain, and her words flowed smoothly. .
Half an hour later, Shen Ao started writing and took the towel handed to him by Zhu Yun and wiped the sweat from his forehead. I have to say that it has been a long time since I drew, so it felt a little strange. Fortunately, I have not lost my ability in my heart. I quickly found the feeling, and the more I painted, the smoother it became, and finally the painting was completed.
Shen Ao didn't notice that Zhu Yun, who was handing over a towel, had already been stunned on the spot, staring at the painting as if he couldn't pull it out no matter what.
I have followed the eldest princess for more than ten years, and I have seen people who are good at painting, even masters. But none of their paintings can be compared with Shen Ao's paintings. If you must compare, it is the same in the world. On the ground. This is not to say that the painting skills of the painters at that time were too rough. In fact, Shen Ao's painting style belongs to later generations and is the result of countless painters. If you have never heard of it or seen it, so what? Could it create a generation of body painting style?
Zhu Yun was stunned on the spot at first, and after nearly ten breaths passed before she realized what she was doing, she exclaimed and shouted, "There's a ghost!"
This shout also alarmed the eldest princess sitting opposite.
I originally thought that Shen Ao was just painting casually. The eldest princess was already thinking about finding a contemporary master to help Guo Changlong paint. After all, although Shen Ao was very powerful, he couldn't be good at everything. But Zhuyun shouted, It pulled all her thoughts together. With curiosity, she also got up and came forward to take a look, and then...
Then he stood there motionless. The person placed in front of the eldest princess seemed to be another eldest princess. Her appearance and every smile seemed to appear on the paper. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was lifelike, superb and vivid. .
It was as if a living eldest princess was watching them and laughing. If you look carefully, you will find that the eldest princess in the painting seems to be more expressive and beautiful. After all, the painter can always make the most of a person. The good side remains on paper for a long time.
"Is this really me?" Before coming to the portrait, the eldest princess couldn't put it down, and the bright light in her eyes revealed the truest thoughts in her heart.
Shen Ao, who was resting, didn't seem to hear the eldest princess's words. At this time, he was thinking about the poem he wanted to write.
The paintings alone are enough to shock the world, but if they are matched with poems, they will definitely be passed down through the ages. Moreover, the status of literati was unimaginable in the Daqian Dynasty. Often a person who had studied for a few days could point to a military commander. He was very good, and the corps commander insulted him casually. This was still a person without an official status. Once he had an official status, his madness would be boundless.
All this is just because that man read the so-called sage's book. It seems that the words he said have become the words of the sage, and he can teach others on behalf of the sage.
With a status like a scholar, a poet is even more amazing. It seems to be a higher-level existence than a scholar, so this poem must be written. In view of the status of the eldest princess, Shen Ao first thought of the poems describing princesses in history. , but they all have special experiences and special achievements, which obviously the eldest princess does not have. Then you need to create it yourself. Fortunately, it doesn’t matter if the poem is not a good one, it is mainly about writing out the psychological content of the eldest princess. Can.
Soon, Shen Ao made a decision, stood up, held the pen, and wrote down the words. At that moment, a five-character quatrain was reflected next to the portrait.
The green princess willow droops the drunken eyebrows.
Following Emperor Qian all his life, he was dyed with flowers and dream of Daliang.
Today's eldest princess is wearing a willow-green dress. This is also because she needs a portrait, otherwise she will still be used to dressing up as a man. This reflects the deep meaning of the poem. After seeing the completion of the four lines of the poem, The eldest princess couldn't help but whisper to others, "I will follow Emperor Qian all my life, and my dreams will be dyed in flowers. Good, good, excellent, reward."
"Uh... Nuo." Zhu Yun on the side was stunned when she heard her master say that she wanted to reward money. When she later found out that she was going to reward Shen Ao, she couldn't help but blush. Now Shen Ao is... She is much richer than the eldest princess. Of Guo Changlong's 10% profit, 50% is handed over to the emperor and the treasury, and 40% belongs to Shen Ao alone. After deducting some miscellaneous things, the eldest princess can't even get 10%. Arrived.
Since it was the order of the princess, Zhu Yun certainly could not disobey it. It was just difficult to give a reward of how much silver. "Master, do you want to give a larger reward to the loyal duke?"
"Ah? Ah." The eldest princess finally came to her senses, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across her face. Fortunately, Shen Ao laughed and said nonchalantly, "Any amount is fine, the main thing is It just means that it is enough to prove that the contributions of our country are recognized by you."
This relieved the embarrassment. The eldest princess immediately rewarded her with a hundred taels of silver. Shen Ao took it and handed it to the butler Shen Xing. Of course, these are secondary. The most important thing is that Shen Ao's painting skills have been improved. The eldest princess fully approved of it. She really didn't know what else Duke Zhongguo wouldn't do.
An insightful person like the company commander princess was shocked by the realism and lifelikeness of the portrait. Not to mention the guests who were looking at the membership card system and buying goods in the front hall. When the painting had As soon as the three-dimensional color painting of the eldest princess was hung up, there were bursts of exclamations one after another.
