Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 693 Youzhou Umbrella

Chapter 721 Youzhou Umbrella

"If they can't use that much themselves, they can also give it to relatives and friends, or sell it, convert it into money, and subsidize themselves. Is it... one of the benefits for employees?" Qin Yang was telling Li Lizhi about this. .

Li Lizhi's expression was a bit complicated.

After all, at this moment, she was eating, and her extremely smart husband was telling them about various things about public toilets. Although she would definitely like to hear it in normal times, but now, it felt a little uncomfortable to listen to this. Too right?
Qin Yang didn't notice this at first, until he found that the two women who were listening to him talk about the public toilet had put their chopsticks aside and only listened carefully.

He suddenly felt something was wrong, and said a little embarrassedly: "Look at me, I was so excited that I forgot that I was eating."

He looked a little guilty and annoyed, but it made Li Lizhi smile.

Before she got married, she had gotten along with Qin Yang in private, and she even contributed to the newspaper. At that time, she felt that she knew this man well enough.

Now that she is married to the other party, she realizes that what she learned in the past may be just superficial.

There are more advantages and loveliness in this man, waiting for her to discover them.

I thought that on the way back, this man once said that in the past, he had thought that after marrying her, he would teach her the parts of what he knew that were suitable for her.

He also smiled and said that this is one of the pleasures of the boudoir, which is to accept his little wife as an apprentice.What he said at that time really made Li Lizhi extremely ashamed.

But now that I think about it, this matter may not be impossible?

In front of Houhou, she naturally didn't bring up this matter again, she just said a little angrily and amusedly: "After talking for so long, are you thirsty or hungry? Let's have dinner with the two of us here."

With that said, he asked people to serve Qin Yang rice and prepared chopsticks.

Qin Yang touched his nose and could only eat here honestly with the two girls.

However, even though he has been wearing it for more than three years, in fact, he is still not as good as these natives in terms of such particularities and taboos.Although he had just finished talking about the toilet, Qin Yang was indeed hungry. When the rice was served, he sat next to his portion of the meal and began to eat.

At this time, a meal-sharing system is emphasized, and meals are shared at banquets. When family members eat, people who are a little more particular will also serve their own meals, and will not eat from the public plate.

Even if there is a big pot of food, there is a public spoon, and it is very convenient to scoop some directly from the big pot into your own small bowl.

Qin Yang thinks that this kind of meal sharing system is very good, but in Youzhou Palace, it has also undergone reforms, that is, there is a big table and high chairs, and everyone eats around the same table. The meals are separated.

This can not only share meals, but also communicate more conveniently during meals.

Moreover, the small low table used by most people can only be used conveniently while kneeling and sitting, while the high table and high chair make it more comfortable for people to eat.

Qin Xiangshan and Russell, after using the high tables and chairs, were moved by this way of sitting and eating comfortably.

Therefore, in Youzhou King's Mansion, people eat while sitting.

The three of them were sitting around a round table. Seeing that Qin Yang was eating deliciously, Li Lizhi and Wan Wan had no appetite at first, so they were also motivated and began to eat with their heads down.

After eating, someone served tea.

Qin Yang took a sip of clear tea, and then continued: "Actually, apart from what you just saw, there are some changes, and you probably won't see them until it rains."

oh?Have to wait until it rains to see it?

Because it was the end of July, a month that rains a lot, it had not rained yet during lunch. In the afternoon, large clouds came from a distance, and it began to rain moderately in Youzhou County. of rain.

At that time, Li Lizhi was in the carriage, walking along the road with Houhou.

When it rained, Li Lizhi was afraid that her horse might get gonorrhea. She felt sorry for the livestock and said, "Go back."

As a result, on the way back, she saw a different scenery.

I saw many people walking on the street holding an umbrella.

The style of that umbrella is somewhat similar to the oil-paper umbrellas used by most people during the Tang Dynasty, but it looks more rustic?
In Chang'an City, many people use oiled paper umbrellas. Most of those umbrellas are painted with tung oil, and they can be used to keep out the rain.

Oil-paper umbrellas have been popular since the Tang Dynasty.

However, the umbrellas in Youzhou are not made of paper.

She stared at the umbrella held by the passerby, and after a while, she realized it.

"They use plastic cloth umbrellas?" Li Lizhi thought of a material, just like the material of the transparent umbrellas in front of her. It seems to be plastic cloth?
Hou Hou smiled and nodded, and said: "These Youzhou umbrellas are indeed made of plastic cloth, and the price is cheaper. Although the style is not as beautiful as the oil-paper umbrella, you can buy the most common one for only five yuan. The transparent Youzhou umbrella has a longer service life, even if it is damaged, as long as the damage is not serious, it can be repaired for free at the place where the umbrella is sold."

That's really cheap!

Li Lizhi is not a person who doesn't like the fireworks of the world. She knows that for ordinary people, even a few cents difference is enough for them to choose a cheaper umbrella.

As for whether it looks good or not, those who are at least a little richer will consider things.

For ordinary people, it is not ugly, it can be used, and it is of high quality and low price. This is a good thing that makes people rush.

It turns out that the different scenery her husband told her about was these Youzhou umbrellas?
Li Li said emotionally: "Youzhou's products are now popular in Chang'an and in many places in the Central Plains. They all use Youzhou as a prefix, Youzhou umbrellas, Youzhou gloves, Youzhou wool textiles, Youzhou wine , Youzhou milk candy, all kinds, I can’t even count all the best-selling products. It can be seen that the commerce in Youzhou must be very developed. Courtiers always say that we must emphasize agriculture and suppress business. It is bound to be even more difficult to grasp the degree of emphasizing both agriculture and commerce.”

Hou Hou nodded, yes, as Li Lizhi said, now it is all about emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, so the tax for businessmen is very heavy.

In addition to the commercial taxes collected by the imperial court, merchants here in Youzhou have very few other taxes.

In addition, the roads on the Youzhou side have been repaired and are very flat, and there are several new districts, all of which are constantly being improved. For businessmen who come to and from Youzhou, all businessmen who have been here will not want to open a few here. shop.

The commercial atmosphere here is very strong, and even the clothes of the common people are second only to Chang'an City.

If you hadn’t come to Youzhou in person, it would be hard to believe that this was actually Youzhou.
