Zhang Nan has never been interested in this kind of activity of sweating vigorously and not making money in the end, but his wife wants to do business, and Zhang Nan has no choice, if he doesn't give money, he won't give money, just treat it as a coolie.

So in the next few days, Zhang Nan only gave the three women one task, that is, to design the clothes they thought looked good, and let them consider the materials and everything.

After getting this task, the first thing a few people did was to go to the cloth shop in Chang'an City, buy a dozen different materials and bring them back for experiments, although the price of these materials is enough to make an ordinary family live for several months.

But Zhang Nan also selectively ignored their losers' behavior, as long as he could find something for them to do and let them participate happily, Zhang Nan thought that his goal had been achieved.

Originally, Zhang Nan wanted to open a shop in the East Market to open a market in the aristocratic class, and then slowly transition to the common people, but then thought about it, one sheep is also released, and two sheep are also driven, it is better to open one in the East and West Markets.

After solving the problem of the shop, Zhang Nan went to the "Datang Daily" to find Ma Zhou, and asked Ma Zhou to publish a job advertisement on the "Datang Daily", Zhang Nan's advertisement was very clear, recruiting a large number of women who can make clothes, with a monthly salary of 200 Wen every month, and also providing a lunch meal, and welfare will be issued from time to time.

Zhang Nan does not doubt the effect of this recruitment advertisement, after all, now is not the time to be busy with farming, a large number of women are at home, and gender also restricts them from doing jobs other than female celebrities, so Zhang Nan feels that the treatment he gives is still good.

In addition to this recruitment notice, Zhang Nan also posted a notice to hold the first design competition of Chang'an City, Zhang Nan did not dare to use the first Datang, after all, if you want to hold the event under the title of Datang, you still have to get the approval of Comrade Li Er.

The competition is also very simple, the designers required to participate must be women, not that Zhang Nan has any gender discrimination, but Zhang Nan doesn't believe that the group of scholars will participate in such an interaction, and those farmers, even if they want to participate, they will definitely not win the award, so it is better to directly stipulate that only women can participate.

The competition is also divided into two stages, one is the drawing design stage.

There are two types of drawing designs, one is to ask the contestants to draw on paper what they think will look good, as well as the materials, but also take into account the taste and price of the public. The second is that it does not require pricing, but only requires the good-looking degree of the clothing and whether there are novel highlights.

The second stage is to ask the designer to make his own clothes, of course, Zhang Nan will provide the materials, and only the designer needs to make it.

The whole process of registration is free, even if you can't win the award, there will be a consolation gift, and the designer who won the award is amazing, and will get a letter of appointment from Yue Liman, according to the different awards, the letter of appointment is also different.

The woman who gets the top job offer will get a design job for a month with the same money.

Zhang Nan did this, one is to open the market for Yue Liman's clothes first, catch the public's attention, so that sales can be increased at that time, and the other purpose is to investigate what kind of price can be accepted by the public in the common people.

After finalizing the news of the publication, Zhang Nan symbolically paid ten yuan to Ma Zhou and published three issues. Originally, Ma Zhou didn't want to accept the money, but Zhang Nan still gave it.

Now the advertising page of "Datang Daily" is very tight, except for a few resident advertisers, the remaining small pages of tofu blocks are the price of dozens of times a period, after all, this is the only newspaper in Datang.

With dozens of dollars to do propaganda in the whole Chang'an City, it is simply not too cost-effective.

Generally speaking, as long as there are no problems with their products, the merchants who advertise on the "Datang Daily" have increased their sales. After everyone knows this, advertising costs will naturally rise.

Zhang Nan used ten yuan to publish three issues with one face, if you want other merchants to see it, it is simply the same as free.

Of course, not everyone has a sense of expectation when they learn about this competition and the sale of Yue Liman's clothes, among which Comrade Li Er is the most unhappy.

After Comrade Li Er, who got the newspaper for the second day that night, saw the news of the game, he slapped the newspaper on the table fiercely, and was so frightened that he jumped the eldest grandson queen who was pinching Li Er's shoulder.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, how can you get angry when you look at the newspaper?" Empress Changsun asked, at first Empress Changsun thought that there was something wrong with the article in the newspaper, but after thinking about it, it shouldn't be, after all, Ma Zhou, who is the editor-in-chief, is not a fool, it is impossible not to even have this discernment, and the article that would generally make Li Er angry is absolutely impossible to send to Li Er for final review.

"Look at it, look at it, this guy Qingquan used me to beat him as a threat, and let me give him a month off, now it's good, he still opened a clothing store at home, and he also held a Chang'an City Design Competition, if he is really so idle, why doesn't he know that the last dynasty came to share my worries? Well? One day he knew that pondering these trails was a waste of his talent. ”

As soon as Li Eryi saw the news, he was angry and didn't fight anywhere, what is this, as a courtier of Datang, Datang's state affairs are not concerned, but what kind of design competition is held, is it possible that Datang's state affairs are not as important as his making money?

When Empress Changsun heard Li Er say this, she was also curious to take the newspaper and read it, and after reading it, Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Qingquan has an idea, and he can actually think of such a way to sell clothes, but the concubine feels that the emperor should not blame Qingquan." ”

"Oh? Why? Did he give you a stake? Li Er wondered.

"How so? It's just that the emperor, you look at the name of this organizer, Yue Liman, didn't the emperor think of something? Empress Eldest Sun smiled.

"Hey, could it be Cui Yue, Lizhen, Jin Shengman?" Li Er also immediately thought of the meaning of this name.

"That's what the concubine thinks, and Qingquan makes money, it's all big business, racetracks, bars, private clubs, supermarkets or something, which one is not a cornucopia? So the concubine thought, did the three little guys pester Qingquan and let Qingquan help them get it? Empress Eldest Sun speculated.
