Chapter 28: Buy interesting stories at high prices!
Yun Shu, who had a plan in mind, immediately waved his hand:
"Come here, write some pen and ink!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess sat there without moving, and the Tang family servants certainly didn't have the courage to ask her to move.

So, for the first time, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone appeared on the table that had just been cleaned.

Moreover, someone even thoughtfully prepared an extra feather pen on the pen holder.

However, it was somewhat surprising that Yun Shu chose an ordinary brush this time, which she was not good at.

【Buy interesting news at a high price! 】

The five large characters, not beautiful but eye-catching enough, filled the entire piece of rice paper.

Finally, Yun Shu did not forget to draw a few gold ingots and copper coins next to it.

"This is?"

Tang Muzhi was silent for a moment.

He could understand the words and pictures, but he just couldn't figure out why she made such a piece of paper.

"This is something that will be posted in your two shops."

After finishing the first one, Yun Shu also drew the second one:
"Didn't I just say that my father sent Eunuch Wang to help me collect information? What I want to collect is the latest interesting things that happened in the capital.

But Eunuch Wang is only one person, so he cannot know everything.

So I thought of setting up a small table outside your two shops to receive the people's tips, collect the information in one place, and then let Eunuch Wang go there every now and then to get it."

After roughly explaining his thoughts, Yun Shu continued:
“As long as you tell us some interesting information you know, you might get some unexpected wealth. Most people in the city should be willing to give it a try.

When more people go to your clothing store, maybe your business will get better.”

"That's what His Highness said."

Tang Muzhi nodded, but still had doubts:
“But the standard for what kind of information can be passed and what kind of information cannot be passed seems to be difficult to grasp.

Your Highness, do you already have people here to screen the information?"

"I really don't have that. I'll have to trouble my cousin to find two smart people who can write."

In the early stages of starting a business, there will always be a shortage of manpower.

Yun Shu shrugged.

“As for the standard, it’s not difficult.

It's still early today, so we can go collect a few ourselves later, and then let the people my cousin find take a look at a few more, so we can get a rough idea of ​​the standards."

"Receive a message?"

Yun Chuhuan, who was depressed because he couldn't eat the new dishes, finally became interested after hearing this:
"I am coming too!"

"Of course you have to go."

Yun Shu smiled slightly.

Yun Chuhuan: “…”

Why do I suddenly not want to go anymore?

I always feel a little chill on my back!

……

Tang Muzhi was very quick in finding someone.

His previous servant boy met the criteria of being both smart and able to write.

In addition, there is the grandson of the manager of the Tang Mansion, Wan Zhanping.

This person failed to pass the exam three times in a row a few years ago. Now he has completely realized that he does not have the talent.

I hadn't figured out what to do next when this happened. Although Wan Zhanping was not good at studying, he was first-rate in dealing with people.

When he was studying in the academy, there was no one in the academy who didn't know him.

He even knew the name of the servant who was in charge of sweeping the academy.

Such a talent is perfect for gossiping with others.

Yun Shu is very optimistic about him.

And he did not disappoint Yun Shu's confidence.

He hadn't even reached the shop yet, but on the way there he had already followed outside the carriage and provided Yun Shu with a bunch of gossip -

"Your Highness, you may not believe this, but Fumanlou and Qingfeng Pavilion have been competing for so many years. They may seem like they are incompatible, but in fact, the two owners are brothers and have a very good relationship!"

"And there's Mr. Wang's family in the south of the city, that's such a mess..."

"By the way, do you know about our son-in-law, Mr. Cao? He can't eat roast duck. Not only can he not eat it, but he will get a rash on his body even if he touches the duck meat!
But because the eldest lady loves to eat roast duck, the son-in-law would go to Fu Man Lou to buy a roast duck every now and then!"

Oh no, isn’t the news about Cao Gou coming?
Book an article in the next weekly report in advance!
But in just a moment, Yun Shu had already thought of the title of the article in his mind.

Tang Muzhi, who was standing by, couldn't help but frowned when he heard the news:

"Are you sure that Cao...he often goes to Fu Man Lou to buy roast duck for the eldest lady?"

"Sure!"

Wan Zhanping thought Tang Muzhi didn't believe it, so he said quickly:
"I have met my uncle twice before in Fumanlou. The first time, he seemed to have met Mr. Chen from the family of the Ministry of Personnel.

I heard with my own ears that Master Chen asked the son-in-law why he bought the roast duck even though he was not allowed to touch it. The son-in-law said it was because our eldest daughter liked it.

After hearing this, Master Chen said that our eldest daughter didn’t know how to feel sorry for others, and the son-in-law was even speaking up for the eldest daughter! "

Click.

The place where Tang Muzhi's right hand was holding was crushed by him.

Yun Shu: “…”

Will she have to pay for the carriage later?
Damn Cao Gou, he’s finished!

*
About twenty minutes later, the carriage finally stopped in front of Tang's clothing shop.

The shop is not big, only about 30 square meters, and there are not many customers in it at this time.

Tang Muzhi had someone bring out a set of tables and chairs, and hung the paper Yun Shu had written earlier in front of the table.
Although the people coming and going could not understand the big words on the paper, they could still understand the patterns on the ingots and copper coins.

Those who had a little more free time couldn't help but slow down their pace out of curiosity.

"What is this for? Writing letters for people?"

"How is that possible? These people look like nobles, how could they possibly need the money to write letters for them?"

"But what do the ingots and copper coins drawn on the paper mean? If it's not for making money, then could it be for giving money away?"

"Everyone!"

Hearing the discussions of the people around him,
Wan Zhanping took a few steps forward at Yun Shu's beckoning and shouted loudly:

"Don't miss it if you pass by! Tang's clothing shop is a place to buy interesting facts!

As long as you have real and interesting information, tell us and you will have a chance to get at least fifty coins and at most two hundred coins!"

"What? Did I hear you right? Tell them something interesting and you'll get money?"

Wan Zhanping's loud voice quickly attracted many passers-by, but because such a thing had never been heard of before, everyone just gathered around and talked to each other, and did not come forward immediately:
"Is this true? How can there be such easy money in this world? Is there some trap?"
