Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

After Yan Qiao left, Mo Qingwan thanked Shen Zheng solemnly again.

Shen Zheng shook her head, took out a stack of drawings from her arms and placed them on the table.

"Let's not talk about that." She pushed the blueprint to Mo Qingwan, then picked up a piece of frosted glass and began to polish it. "In the cloth shop in Fucheng, have the original decorations been dismantled?"

Mo Qingwan gently picked up the blueprint and replied, "My Lord, the dismantling is almost complete and the waste can be cleaned up tomorrow."

Shen Zheng nodded, "I told you before that all the cloth shops in our county must have a unified decoration. This is the drawing that I discussed with everyone in my spare time. You can also take a look at it. If you have any suggestions, be sure to put forward them."

Upon hearing this, Liang Fu secretly glanced at Shen Zheng, feeling increasingly ashamed.

That stack of drawings...it was said that they were developed by everyone's discussion, but in fact everyone knew that most of the ideas on it were proposed by Shen Zheng alone.

As for the meaning of the existence of the rest of them?

Yu Shizhang - "Ben Bo thinks this is good!"

Liang Fu——"I think this design is excellent!"

Shen Xingjian - "So wonderful."

Xu Zhubu - "Your Excellency's talent and wisdom are beyond the reach of my subordinates."

Yu Nanshu——"Wow! Sister Shen is so amazing. With such a display, I will definitely buy it!"

So...what did they "discuss" with Shen Zheng?

......

Mo Qingwan took the thick stack of drawings and looked slightly stunned.

This was the first time she had seen such a "thick" decoration drawing...

How delicate this is...

Only then did she understand why the adults wanted to tear down all the original decorations of the cloth shop in order to carry out subsequent renovations and decorations.

Mo Qingwan restrained his expression, sat up straight, and gently opened the drawing.

The first page of the drawing shows the overall layout and zoning of the cloth shop, with different layouts drawn for different room types and orientations.

Some face south, some face west, some are one-story buildings, and some are two- or three-story buildings, all of them are exquisite.

Since the Fucheng Cloth Shop was a two-story building, Mo Qingwan directly took a closer look at the layout map named "Second Floor Facing South".

The cloth shop sells ready-made clothing for both women and men. Therefore, the drawings show that the first floor facing the street is the men's clothing area, while the second floor, which has better lighting and is quieter, is the women's clothing area.

"Men and women are separated..." Mo Qingwan looked at the blueprint and nodded, "This way, male and female customers won't disturb each other, and they can be more comfortable when shopping and changing clothes."

This kind of layout is not uncommon in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it is not common in ordinary cloth shops.

——Ordinary cloth shops mostly sell cloth, and there are not many ready-made clothes, and the prices are expensive. Unless the situation is urgent, most people will not buy ready-made clothes or change clothes directly in cloth shops.

To put it simply, ready-made clothes are a bit like... "tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away."

——People who are willing to buy ready-made clothes are mostly not short of money. If they are not short of money, why don’t they just tailor the clothes to suit them better?

——People who are reluctant to buy ready-made clothes usually prefer to buy cloth and make their own clothes. Not only is it cheaper, but the remaining cloth can also be used to make shoes or mend damaged clothes.

As a result, the status of "ready-made clothes" in cloth shops has been neither up nor down, which is awkward.

Mo Qingwan had understood this principle a long time ago, but she knew it even more clearly in her heart - it was different from Anbu Manor.

The ready-made clothes sold in Tongan Cloth Shop are not only exquisitely designed and finely cut, but also come in several different sizes. If the size does not fit, the shop also provides free alteration services.

And there is one more most important point.

——If you only consider the length of fabric of those ready-made clothes, their price is actually not much more expensive than the cloth!

In this case, who wouldn’t want to buy ready-made clothes?

Mo Qingwan thought about it while flipping through the drawings and continued reading.

——The men’s and women’s clothing areas are divided into display area, fabric area, ready-made clothing area, fitting area, negotiation area, rest area, and cashier area.

But the most eye-catching thing is the Chinese character "人" (people) in the display area.

Mo Qingwan looked at it for a long time and scratched his head quietly.

She looked back and forth several times, but couldn't guess what the word "人" meant.

After thinking about it, she had to take the drawing while Shen Zheng was resting and asked softly: "Sir, this word '人'......"

Do we need to place a few store clerks there to watch over it?

Shen Zheng took a sip of water and looked over. "This... is a display of puppets."

"Puppet?" Mo Qingwan swallowed, trying to understand what Shen Zheng said, "The puppet... is holding clothes for display?"

"Cough, cough, cough——" Shen Zheng choked on a mouthful of water and asked her with a smile: "Why can't the puppet... wear clothes?"

Puppet Man...

Wear clothes?!

When Mo Qingwan thought of that scene, her hair stood on end. "Sir, does this seem a little scary to me?"

Think about it.

The mannequin carved out of wood, with a pair of dead fish eyes staring at you, not only is its body stiff, but it is also wearing the clothes you want.

How scary this is!

"Can this scare people?" Shen Zheng was puzzled: "It's not a paper figurine with a white face, why would it scare people?"

Mo Qingwan began to doubt himself.

Could it be that I have become less courageous?

After a moment, she still couldn't convince herself, so she said hesitantly: "But the puppet's face..."

"Face?" Shen Zheng finally realized what Mo Qingwan said and said with a smile, "I didn't express it clearly. This puppet has no head and no face. So... it's not scary, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the drawing in Mo Qingwan's hand fell onto the table with a "pop".

No brain.

Isn’t it scary anymore?

Shen Zheng fell silent upon seeing this.

Everyone clearly says this thing is good, so why is Mo Qingwan so afraid of it?

She pondered for a moment and explained, "Qingwan, I thought of this mainly because the hanging clothes are too flat and cannot show the specific style and cut, so I thought of using puppets to show them. But your opinion is not wrong. I really didn't consider whether the puppets would scare customers."

After a pause, Shen Zheng took out a piece of paper and started writing.

"How about this, let's write down this difference of opinion first. After the craftsman finishes making the puppet and we take a look at the finished product, we can discuss it again. How about that?"

From the moment Shen Zheng said the first sentence, Mo Qingwan looked over.

After she said this, she realized that she was being rude.

I am just a small businessman, how can I question the decisions of several adults?

In this case, it can't even be called "abrupt".

But he doesn't know what's good for him.

But Lord Shen on the opposite side was not angry. Instead, he would explain, discuss, and take other people's opinions to heart when faced with differences.

At this moment, Mo Qingwan's heart began to beat uncontrollably, feeling sour and bitter, and almost jumping out of his throat.
