Chapter 371: Volume 1 Chapter 371 Investment Invitation Notice

Rong Luoge thought carefully about the promotional methods of later generations, but she didn't know much, after all she doesn't focus on commerce; however, given the development of the internet in later times, she knows a few things.

The Business Department certainly won't be easy to establish, so for now she can start working.

For now she first oversees the relocation of the Weaving Workshop, swiftly organizing the Glazed Tile Workshop market; for this, Rong Luoge went there herself.

She hasn't been here in a long time; the market's planning maps and construction were handed over to the Engineering Department. Now she stands before an unfamiliar archway, behind which are rows of tidy workshops, laid out in a grid, with broad roads, all of the same material and style, looking orderly, pleasant to the eye.

Rong Luoge came this time without alerting the Engineering Department's Minister, and she took this person to the highest house; the buildings along this street are all meant to provide food, clothing, shelter, and livelihood for future market merchants, residents, and artisans—a self‑sufficient street.

Restaurants, inns, carriage shops, ready‑made clothing stores—she has planned them orderly, just waiting for investors to move in.

Doing business here, facing such a huge customer base, even a fool knows it's profitable.

Rong Luoge stood at the top of the restaurant, pushed open the window and looked out; everywhere she saw newly built workshops, and in the distance she could see blue smoke shooting into the sky—that was the Glazed Tile Workshop firing its glass.

At another spot, artisans constantly shuttling in and out were from the Weaving Workshop, whose moving wagons were lined up waiting to unload.

Soon, every workshop here will be operating, merchants from across the nation will swarm in, and this will become Han Xinglan's money bag, the largest industrial base in Owl Country.

Rong Luoge returned to the palace, her mood still churning. Kang Kang hadn't seen her all day; when she returned he rushed to her. Rong Luoge lifted her son, kissed his little cheek, and said with a smile, "You're a lucky little fellow."

What awaits him in the future is the peaceful prosperity that his father‑emperor and mother‑queen will establish for him.

"So happy?" Han Xinglan knew she had gone to the Glazed Tile Workshop today; she had deliberately finished her business early and returned. As soon as she entered, she saw mother and son grinning at each other.

Rong Luoge turned to look at Han Xinglan, her eyes sparkling, and said, "The Glazed Tile Workshop is built even better and more spectacular than I imagined. Have you seen it?"

Han Xinglan shook her head, "There's no time; it's enough that you've seen it."

Han Xinglan's words made Rong Luoge laugh; she smiled and said, "No need to rush to see it now. When I finish building it completely, you can go see it. Trust me, it'll be a huge surprise."

Han Xinglan laughed loudly, "So confident?"

"Give me some time; I'll prepare a wide‑circulation invitation."

"Hm?" Han Xinglan looked at Rong Luoge in surprise, "What did you say?"

Rong Luoge laughed, "In this world there's no one who doesn't love wealth; noble families can attract merchants because they can bring them sufficient profit. Tell me, if I were to poach most of those families' merchants, what would happen?"

Han Xinglan: …

Most likely they'd go mad!

"Is it doable?"

"Things depend on people; how could it not work? Even if it seems impossible, it must be done!" Rong Luoge handed her son to Han Xinglan, "I'm going to write the invitation."

The investment prospectus is hard to write; it must be stirring, painting an irresistible big picture, showing them the Glazed Tile Workshop's prospects, telling them this place isn't just profitable, but extremely lucrative.

Ready‑made workshops, enough artisans; merchants need not spend on basic construction—just invest money and production runs. Where can one find such a boon?

Moreover, she offers new techniques and new machines here; she believes no merchant can refuse such temptation.

It should be noted that whether it's a jacquard loom or a warp‑knitting machine, these are inventions beyond this era's people; she borrowed ancient wisdom to create them, which may seem opportunistic, but she had no other choice.

She must survive, to live properly.

Han Xinglan played with her son for a while, coaxed the little fellow into happiness, then handed him to the nanny, entered the study, and saw Rong Luoge bent over the desk, writing rapidly.

She walked over slowly, looked down, and saw several large characters facing her: Royal Shops, Nationwide Investment, No Deception to Young or Old, Fair Prices.

Han Xinglan: …

Her mouth twitched; it was too blunt.

Rong Luoge turned to face Han Xinglan's slightly flustered face and instantly laughed, "Can't?"

"Is it perhaps too unreserved?" Han Xinglan asked.

"Many merchants have limited literacy; if it's too sophisticated, can they understand? Advertising must be simple and easy to spread, so it can attract more people."

Han Xinglan thought this seemed reasonable; never mind, after all she can't see the posters once they're posted, and she wouldn't know how others perceive them.

In any case, the queen's actions are ultimately sensible.

"The Business Department matter is under court discussion; for now there's still some resistance," Han Xinglan said, looking at Rong Luoge.

Rong Luoge nodded, "I knew it wouldn't be that smooth, but that's fine; let's get things started, and with the tide together it will inevitably come to fruition."

"Hmm, timing is still needed." Han Xinglan watched Rong Luoge carefully pack away her blunt 'invitation', and seeing her so earnest, couldn't help but smile.

She just likes her that way; no matter what she does she's diligent, and whether she can succeed or not, she gives her all.

"You'll help me have people post them nationwide, especially prioritizing areas where merchants gather," Rong Luoge said with a smile.

"Okay, leave that to me; tomorrow I'll send people to post them everywhere, though it will take some time."

"No problem; radiating outward from the capital, posting along the way, some merchants will see first and act, they'll arrive gradually, and we won't be overwhelmed." Rong Luoge thought it through.

If a sudden influx of people arrives, she truly can't keep up, and will have to let Kang Shufei and the others learn gradually.

Moreover, they need to learn the rules of this recruitment, otherwise later they'd be clueless and get taken advantage of, which won't do.

Han Xinglan thought it feasible, "I'll have people handle this specifically, as fast as possible."

Rong Luoge stood up, embraced Han Xinglan's waist, "I knew it; you'd certainly agree."

Han Xinglan brushed her hand over Rong Luoge's cheek, "You give me a wooden peach, I return a jade ornament; I'm only doing what should be done, you've given me more, thank you for your effort."
