Chapter 321 Photo studio is born out of necessity
The two men approached quietly, and heard one of the people ask the person next to him: "This box is so thin, how did all those people fit in it?"

Another one also wondered: "How did that person become so small?"

At this time, someone nearby exclaimed, "Isn't that Xu Qiutian? How did he get in there?"

A woman below suddenly shouted loudly: "Akita! Akita? How did you get in there? Come down..."

The people around turned their heads and someone recognized him.

"Isn't this Xu Qiutian's mother?"

"Yes... She is Xu Qiutian's mother..."

The woman shouted several times, but Xu Qiutian in the video did not respond at all, and then just skipped to the next video.

The woman was anxious: "Hey, hey, hey! Where's my son? Why is my son gone... Call him out quickly! I need to go home for dinner!"

Her voice successfully caused a commotion in the crowd, and everyone began to look at the scene inside.

"Yes, how do the people in here get out?"

The prince's personal guards were holding a huge loud speaker and shouting, "The people in here are all fake, not real! They are still in their original places, okay..."

No one believes it.

There are obviously people inside, how can you say it is fake?
Fortunately, Xu Qiutian just got out of school at this time. Seeing the huge crowds of people here, someone he knew greeted him enthusiastically, "Xu Qiutian? Why are you here?"

"Weren't you in that box?"

Xu Qiutian and others were informed of the principle before filming, and they explained it with a smile after hearing it.

What's in there is equivalent to a painting drawn by an artist...it doesn't cause any harm to them.

Of course they were not in there either.

Everyone suddenly realized and then became extremely envious.

The painting is so realistic, it’s exactly the same!
They had never seen or heard of such an animated painting before!

The wealthy families began to yearn for such a realistic painting: "How much silver would it cost to paint one?"

Xu Qiutian waved his hand: "That doesn't cost money. As long as the prince's guards like you and you agree to paint, they will do it for free and give you money..."

Everyone who cooperated with the filming was paid.

Each poor family received 20 kilograms of fine rice or flour, while rich people like Chen Yangzu chose to convert it into silver.

Just by shooting a piece of lotus flower, one can get 20 kilograms of fine rice and flour. Who wouldn't want to do that?
It’s a pity that this requires talented people from the prince’s personal guards.

Rich people don’t care about these things at all, they are willing to pay for them!

Just give them such exquisite paintings!

Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun heard it, smiled at each other, but they felt more worried in their hearts.

It’s impossible for everyone to take videos, but they can take photos!

And it can be sold at a high price!

Xiao Yingchun immediately started buying printing paper and high-quality printers...

A new photo studio has opened on the Royal Shop Street. The people inside are responsible for taking photos with their mobile phones, and the photos can be selected.

After developing it, it cost ten taels of silver for a photo!
It costs one or two taels of silver to laminate a photo!
In addition to taking photos in the shop, you can also be invited to take photos at each household.

However, the minimum price for taking photos at home is fifty taels of silver. You have to pay first and then come to your door...

Another exclusive business has begun!

Aristocratic families have always had the habit of having their portraits painted.

When writing letters to relatives far away, they sometimes choose to ask someone to draw a detailed painting and send it to the other party so that the other party can see what they look like now.

When the photo came out, all the noble families were stunned!
What is ten taels of silver?
They are not short of money!
Thinking of many relatives whom they hadn't seen for a long time, they couldn't help but be moved.

There are new additions to the family, and the people in the family are getting older, so take a photo and send it to each other... Take advantage of the fact that relatives are coming to Beijing to visit after the New Year, so why not take a family photo together?
The old man is getting very old and will be enshrined in the ancestral temple in the future. Would it be better to use a photo rather than a painter?

Some prominent families also came to ask: Can you draw a bigger picture?

Xiao Yingchun's response was: Of course, but to draw a picture as big as the book, it would cost five hundred taels of silver.

For the sake of the glory and dignity of their ancestors, these wealthy families agreed without hesitation!
There is always only one elderly person in every family. If you take a photo, will he take the photo as well?
Keep the water level!

shoot!
Take pictures of them all!

If your family took the photo, would your brother’s family take the photo? If your relatives and close friends knew about it, would they take the photo at home?
With the first one, there will naturally be a second one...

So in the past few days, when the ladies of the family meet each other, the most common question they ask is: "Did your ancestors take photos?"

"Yes! Everyone took one..."

"Where are your elderly parents?"

Mrs. Qian didn't have that much cash at home, so she couldn't help looking embarrassed.

"We'll take a picture of the old man first. The old lady is in good health, so there's no rush for now..."

So Mrs. Wu, who had taken photos of all the elderly people in the family, held Mrs. Qian's hand with an understanding look on her face: "I understand! I understand!"

Mrs. Qian felt uncomfortable: Why did she always feel that the other party didn’t understand?
Mrs. Wu must have thought that “her family has no money” rather than “her family is not in a hurry to take pictures”!
What should I do if I feel sympathized for no reason?
So angry!

I can’t say it again!
The marriage arrangements among aristocratic families have become more intuitive.

Both families first invited photographers to their homes to take pictures of the young men and women in the family.

When the ladies of wealthy families get together, they first take out photos of their children and look at them, and then make arrangements to meet if they like them.

what?
There is no photo of your young master or young lady yet?
Is it because you don’t look good and don’t dare to show the photo?
Or is it that your family has no money and you are not willing to take photos for the young men and women?
Or maybe this illegitimate young man or young lady was not taken seriously, so she was not photographed?

The contempt chain was quietly formed. In order not to be despised, the major families could only grit their teeth and spend money to take photos...

In just two days, the photography studio's turnover in the capital exceeded fifty thousand taels of silver...

It turns out that it is easier to make money from aristocratic families...

Seeing that this business was lucrative, Fu Chenan began to plan to open photo studios in various state capitals.

The court made money like water, and all the money was from the noble families and wealthy households. Not only was the lives of the common people not affected, but their opportunities to work and earn money were greatly increased.

Because the Ministry of Industry has no shortage of money, various projects are being carried out quickly and the people are busy like crazy!

Build roads and bridges, strengthen city walls, build schools and orphanages in various places...

As long as the people are willing to work, they can earn money or rice by working.

People are making money, their lives are better, and they are more willing to spend money to improve their lives, so all kinds of businesses are becoming easier to do.

All kinds of food, all kinds of cloth, all kinds of bricks and wood for construction...the work of bricklayers, carpenters and plasterers is simply endless!

The Minister of War was also very busy: they gathered many students to conduct literacy classes among the soldiers and teach them how to read and write.

Half of the generals in the army could not read, so when an order came from above, they had to ask the clerk to read it out loud before they knew what it meant...

At the same time, the Ministry of War also launched a military competition for the entire army.

Scouting Competition: Find the specified items in the specified area within the specified time.

Kung Fu competition: Soldiers fight each other with fists and feet, and the winner is the king.

Weapon Kung Fu competition: Use unsharpened swords, spears, swords and halberds to fight. Don’t be afraid of getting hurt, as long as no one dies.

There are also literacy competitions, strength competitions, and sand table simulation competitions between soldiers...

In all competitions, the winner takes all, and the best winner will receive generous rewards such as promotion and wealth!

The entire army began to train enthusiastically at the same time.
