Chapter 835: 835The Forgotten Woman
Chapter 835 Chapter 835 The Forgotten Woman
For people all over the world, life seems to be gradually getting better. In their world, many good things have appeared that have never appeared before.
First of all, electricity has gradually become popular. Although many rural areas have not yet enjoyed this convenient energy, electricity has become the main source of energy in cities.
When people discovered that they could buy better and better seeds for just a little money, a bumper harvest of food became possible.
With more grain and fruits, it becomes possible to make wine. The wine-making machines in Tang were not particularly expensive, so wineries were opened in many places.
Common people can taste low-quality cigarettes and low-quality beer in various flavors by spending a little money. This is undoubtedly a huge improvement in the quality of boring life.
More improvements are still in cities. In some places, people can often see large passenger planes flying overhead, and they are not surprised by trains passing in front of their doors.
Roads are getting smoother and smoother, which is an inevitable result: in order to make cars run faster, road construction has become something that all countries are doing.
No matter how reluctant they are, in order to catch up with this wave of technological progress, all countries have to invest more money to improve their own environment.
This thing is all competitive. Only by building all the infrastructure well enough can more businessmen be attracted to invest. This is also the getting-rich bible that Tang Mo gave to these people.
Everyone knows that they can't compare to the Tang State. The speed of Tang State's infrastructure construction is like a plug-in, and no one else can catch up.
However, it is still necessary for other countries to compete with each other. Everyone hopes that they can become the second choice for businessmen, so they work hard to build their country.
This kind of thing will inevitably occur with the advancement of technology. There is no need to deliberately promote it, just follow the trend.
There are even some people with enough brains to directly hand over the work of building bridges and paving roads to outside businessmen. They don't even need to pay for the construction costs. They only need to mortgage these roads and bridges to the businessmen who built the roads. Just charge them back.
Or the local government can seek a bank loan and repay the loan at a fee after the construction is completed. There are almost no tricks.
Then, with the deliberate encouragement of Tang State funds, many dams and thermal power stations were built around the world, and many decent large cities were born.
In the past, cities with a population of more than 200,000 were almost reaching their limits due to sanitation conditions and energy constraints.
Now, with the popularization of medicines and the improvement of water supply and drainage systems, large cities have appeared in various countries, and even a number of super large cities have emerged.
Although Bunas has become a thing of the past, the scale of the city is still there. Even though there hasn't been much development in the past few years, this is still a super city with a population of close to one million.
Of course, this is no longer the largest city in the world. The largest city is in Tang State, and its name is Linshui.
This is definitely the number one in the world, because the population of Linshui now exceeds one million, and has even begun to sprint towards the scale of two million.
If you include the merchants and floating population, the total population of Linshui is even close to three million, which is no longer on the same level as other cities.
Another city with a large population is Chang'an. As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, this city has two rivers passing through it and its population has exceeded one million.
The original two rivers actually separated Chang'an, the old capital of the Zheng Kingdom, from the south to the north. However, with the expansion of the city, these two rivers now pass through the city.
The Forbidden City, which was still in the suburbs before, is now almost included in the city. The Zhuque Street has now become one of the busiest streets in Chang'an City.
Due to the improvement of production capacity, various things have begun to become abundant: sugar and salt are in sufficient supply, and under normal circumstances, people can afford them.
This is actually a contribution to the stability of society. When people feel that their lives are getting better and better, they will not easily become restless and question those rulers who are living and drinking.
The lives of people in the Tang Dynasty have really improved. Not only can they listen to various songs that are played regularly on the radio, but they can also read the serialized novels they want to read in newspapers, and they can also occasionally go to the cinema to watch two or more movies in style. hours of video.
The influence of big stars has also been highlighted. The cigarettes endorsed by the most famous male stars in Tang Dynasty are very popular. Many men like to wear plaid suits like those worn by stars in advertisements, and then lean against them with a filtered cigarette in their hands. On the wall, the brim of the top hat was pressed very low.
At the same time, if you can afford a two-door streamlined sports car, which is also endorsed by celebrities, it will attract the attention of many young girls.
Honestly speaking, a man who can spend hundreds of gold coins to buy a sports car is indeed very attractive to women. Not to mention women, what kind of clothes the female stars in the movie wear will definitely become popular on the streets soon. Every woman on the street likes to pay attention to those good-looking clothes, and then fills her wardrobe with these clothes.
I don’t know who said a wise saying that there is always one piece of clothing missing from a woman’s wardrobe. Women immediately remembered this sentence and then persuaded themselves to continue to indulge.
In addition to clothes, there are of course expensive cosmetics: Tang State did not come up with weird products such as lead and mercury cosmetics. After all, Tang Mo still had some conscience when making money.
Tang Mo’s cosmetics company directly eliminated the ruthless technological work that encouraged women to apply lead powder on their faces to show off their good looks.
However, when it comes to the conscience of Datang Cosmetics Company, there is only so much. The various cosmetics and skin care products they launch are almost as profitable as cigarettes.
Don't ever underestimate women's determination to pursue youth and beauty. The speed at which they spend money is no slower than the speed at which men spend money when they smoke and drink.
With the addition of shoulder bags and jewelry, their combat effectiveness is much greater, even better than that of men.
For women, these things are like a soldier’s gun, a lover’s heart, their status and their lives!
As a fashion capital, the women of Chang'an are at the forefront of the world. The things they have begun to popularize are often just emerging in other places.
So women from other empires are extremely excited when they mention Chang'an, as if they were a group of believers talking about the holy city in their minds.
This feeling actually existed before. At that time, they worshiped Bunas, but now... they worship Chang'an.
“I heard that a new clothing exhibition was held in Chang’an, but it’s a pity that my godfather won’t let me go.” A pretty girl stirred the spoon in the tea cup and smiled at her best friend.
"I'm not going either, but it doesn't matter. I sent a servant to rush over. All the clothes must be packed and brought back to me! There are also bags... and jewelry!" My best friend also looked excited when she mentioned this. Things are so exciting.
“I’m so envious of Angie, she can actually go with her boyfriend.” When mentioning another friend, both of them looked envious.
The three of them are good sisters. They played together when they were in school, and their relationship is quite deep. It's a good ending for the three of them. After all, their families are all rich.
Now they are both famous ladies. One is the goddaughter of Foreign Minister Somi, and the other is married to the eldest son of the Minister of Agriculture.
The one who got along the best found a noble boyfriend. He had just inherited his father's huge inheritance and went to Tang to take care of his own business.
Hearing the two women talking and laughing, the face of a woman sitting not far away turned extremely ugly.
If there is a woman in the world who doesn't like to talk about Chang'an, it's Susan. She once worked for Datang Group and was a well-deserved fashion godmother at that time.
It’s a pity that when Datang Group gave up on Bunas, she chose another path. At that time, she was still a distinguished member of the upper class society of the Nanla Empire, but she broke away from the Datang Group and chose to develop on her own.
She soon discovered that without the support of Datang Group, she would not be able to survive in the Nanla Empire. Mo Kangsen, the great nobleman of Nanla who had been supporting her, no longer provided her with protection.
Susanne, who couldn't get along in the Nanla Empire, had no choice but to return to the Lanes Empire and created a fashion brand in an attempt to maintain her noble image as a fashion godmother.
Unfortunately, her brand was soon affected by the high-end brands of Datang Group and lost all business, and it went bankrupt within a few days.
She spent all her previous savings, so she had no choice but to find a nobleman to marry while she still had some reputation. Without her halo, she would no longer be praised by the stars.
“Damn! These naughty hooves! I would rather have those tattered skirts that have no sense of beauty at all than appreciate real art.” Susan cursed quietly, venting her dissatisfaction.
In her opinion, the clothes she designed before are countless times more high-end than the popular ones in Chang'an... Unfortunately, there are too many fools in the world who blindly follow them. They only believe in the nobility from Chang'an and are unwilling to pay for other brands.
"Sooner or later! Sooner or later you will regret it! Sooner or later! I will prove it! I am... the real mother of fashion!" She gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to break the spoon in her hand.
