The photos of the Badaohe floats parading through the street soon spread to Lin'an City in the Great Song Dynasty, which made many people envious.

There are also many photo studios in Lin'an City, and they all hang large photos to publicize...... The business started out as a lucrative business, but because it was easy to learn the skills, more and more photo studios were opened, and everyone had to find ways to attract customers and put up new and beautiful photos to attract people.

Of course, some had to go to small and medium-sized cities, and some went overseas.

Not long after, not ten days later, another batch of photos came out of Liuqiu Island...... Those photos were all colored, and you could see that they were all golden gold products!

Not to mention their strange shapes, they were so large that there were elephants made of gold, the size of desks!

The technique of post-coloring black and white photos of Rakyu Island is also very simple.

There are two types of colors: watercolor and oil paint, both of which are applied to the photograph after it has been printed.

This coloring technique is similar to painting, in which oil paint is made by wrapping absorbent cotton with sweater needles of varying thicknesses, dipped in various colors of paint, and slowly kneading the color on the photograph.

Watercolor is the use of a brush to color the photograph, and the costumes and skin tones of the characters are as realistic as possible.

Because it is a post-coloring, the color of the clothes can be selected by the customer, and the red clothes are worn when taking pictures, and if you don't like it, you can let the colorist dye it yellow.

Later, there was a faceted method of raising oil paint according to the light, and the coloring technology became more and more exquisite, and the photo image made was plump and colorful.

The watercolor appears transparent and smooth, the oil color is solid and has particles on the surface, and the color of the oil color is preserved longer than that of the watercolor.

For watercolor, you should first color and then fix the imperfections, and for oil, you should first touch the photo and then color.

The oil paints are all packed in lead tubes, the size of ordinary people's fingers, and are divided into 12 or 24 colors.

Watercolor is a small piece of hard paper bound into a cardboard box, divided into 12 and 18 colors.

An oil color photograph of the same size is a bit more expensive, 3 to 4 times more expensive than a watercolor photograph on the island of Liuqiu, and 1.5 to 2 times as much as a black-and-white photograph on the island of Liuqiu.

But in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it will be doubled, because the oil paint is not cheap, and there are certain technical requirements.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty love this kind of photo to death...... Especially for women who think they are beautiful, they really go to take pictures when they have time...... Resolutely colored!

But in Wu Dapeng's eyes, it was too earthy and too earthy, and they themselves would rather take pure black and white photos than let them color later...... When you watch it, you feel like a character from a cartoon.

Aesthetics are different because of the times, but they are not irreconcilable.

The coloring photos of this batch of gold items were released by King Zhang Anguo in an interesting way...... The photos were all of the gold shipped back from the Tianzhu Continent, mixed with some gold brick stocks in the vault.

There are also figures in the photograph, and it is their presence that allows the viewer to feel the size of the gold work.

Those people were all dressed in Rakqiu Island clothes, and some were clearly dressed as soldiers...... The colorists also specially tuned their skin to a robust black-yellow color.

When the Great Song people in Lin'an City passed by the photo studio and saw those photos, they all drooled and looked at the piles of gold that they had never seen before......

Although gold was not the currency of the Great Song Dynasty, it was a symbol of wealth, and the entire city of Lin'an seemed to have stopped to look at those pictures.

With abundant assets and a wealthy person like Jia Laogou's eyes were red, he snorted angrily and threw those photos on the table, don't look at them, how can they find so much gold everywhere!

It is no wonder that their newspapers mention the precious metal standard at every turn, secretly attacking the grain standard of our Great Song Dynasty government...... Which dynasty and which generation is not like this?

Why is it wrong to say that it is wrong until now...... As long as there is food, there can be no chaos in this world!

A group of short-sighted businessmen, where would they think of the country's righteousness?!

But how can I get so much gold......

He immediately sent someone to invite Liao Yingzhong.

Liao Yingzhong has returned from Liuqiu Island, he is really a reliable and hard-working person, and even went to Australia alone!

Now, he is compiling what he has seen and heard, interspersed with many of his own feelings and thoughts.

When he first came back, he focused on telling Jia Laogou about the Qingmiao Law, and greatly sighed at the practice of Liuqiu Island.

He reported to Jia Laogou: "Back then, the Xiangfu Xianggong implemented the Qingmiao Law, which attracted much criticism, and I was also quite dissatisfied with this law before...... Now I know that this method is correct and should be beneficial to the farmer.

Naliuqiu Island also has a method of green seedlings, but they only used one method to solve the problem encountered by the Minister of Jiefu...... That is, there is no need for officials in the government to provide loans to farmers, and it is completely left to the people to solve their own problems through various money banks! ”

Jia Laogou was stunned at the time and said, "If the profiteers take the opportunity to raise the interest...... What can I do? ”

Liao Yingzhong smiled bitterly and said, "No, the big and small money banks have sent staff to ask for loans from farmers, and they have fought hard because of the reduction of interest...... Free competition will reduce costs.

The same is collateral with green seedlings...... Farmers there can always get a loan with the lowest interest rate to tide over the difficulties!

Monopoly will lead to usury, and competitors are the right way to business......"

"So how do they prevent local officials from forcing farmers to take out loans?"

"It's simple...... The newspaper reporters there keep an eye on the bad things in society every day, and whenever there is a disturbance, they are always the first to report it, and no official can hide the bad things from them...... I've heard the self-proclaimed king of the island master say that the freedom of the press will feed him for 3,000 imperial historians for nothing, and he won't have to spend a penny! ”

Jia Laogou nodded, this makes sense.

"So, what if those newspaper reporters report indiscriminately and spread rumors?"

"If it's a big thing, just send someone to find out; If it's a small thing, what do you care about him?!

If you rely on lies and rumors to deceive readers for a long time...... Then without the help of the government, the people will not buy their newspapers anymore, where will they go to get the publication of the merchants? It will be closed in a few days......"

"Then what if they talk about the government in vain......

"If the people have a mouth, they will not talk about it without a newspaper?"

There are also folk newspapers in the Great Song Dynasty, but Jia Laogou only found out that he was just using the people's voice newspaper as a tool to praise himself and attack his opponents...... It's a good idea to use it like the one you do on the island of Liuqiu.

Liao Yingzhong also briefly mentioned the structure of the bureaucracy and the power of officials on the island.

Jia Laogou couldn't listen to it anymore, and said loudly:

"The so-called county magistrate there is the magistrate, right? They have patrol officers in law enforcement, courts in adjudication, and the finances are not under his control...... So what's the use of the county? Is it to feed idlers?! ”

Liao Yingzhong said slowly: "The usefulness lies in the fact that the county magistrate should develop the industrial and peasant economy, pay attention to public safety, and build infrastructure ......."

Jia Laogou slowly digested these strange words, and finally understood them.

Liao Yingzhong looked at Jia Pingzhang's expression at that time, and made up her mind that she would write all about Liuqiu Island thoroughly.

As a result, he locked himself in his home and devoted himself to writing.

Jia Laogou will not bother him easily, this time it is a big matter, and he must be called.
