Changle Street, the most lively central area.

The luxurious and atmospheric Shen's paper shop officially opened today after two days of trial operation.

The gold-lettered signboard was painted bright and bright, and a group of more than a dozen suona blowers were hired to make a big show at the door of the store, beating gongs and drums.

The shopkeeper of the paper shop and the shopkeeper warmly beckoned the readers who passed by to come in and have a look, and it was very lively for a while.

Shen Dafu and Shen Wanbao, father and son, sat in Shen's paper shop, directly opposite the Hongmen Inn, on the second floor by the window luxury private room, watching the lively scene downstairs.

"Dad, our Shen's paper is hot in Jinling City, just today!"

Shen Wanbao was excited.

"That's nature! Don't look at the fact that the paper is very popular, but the high price of 20 Wen is only affordable for the gate lords, eunuchs, and powerful scholars of Jinling City, and they are only a small number of people.

Jinling City and the Confucian scholars of the world are the real big people who buy paper, and they are most eager to need cheap paper. Our Shen's paper, down to Wuwen, is prepared for them! ”

Shen Dafu said proudly.

This is the business strategy of Shen's Paper Shop.

The quality of my Shen's paper is not as good as your faint paper, so compare the price! I don't compete with you for the high-end needs of Jinling scholars, I will rob ordinary Confucian students.

My Shen's paper is a big seller, and it is sold to more scholars, and the influence is even greater.

This is the first wealthy merchant Shen Mansion in Jinling, the first new industry in addition to the silk business. smashed a full 10,000 taels of silver into it.

After this battle, it is enough to prove that he Shen Dafu did not rely on the shadow of the Empress Dowager Shen to make a fortune, but completely relied on his wise business acumen and vicious vision to see the huge demand for papermaking at a glance.

The father and son were in the private room, happily ordering a few pots of wine and appetizers, and watched with anticrisy that the sales of their own Shen's paper were booming in Jinling City.

From morning to afternoon, it was getting dusk.

The shopkeeper's voice was hoarse.

Hearing the wind in Jinling City, there are many Confucian scholars in groups of three or five, but there are almost few people who buy paper.

"Bah, a piece of Shen's paper is five copper coins, Lao Tzu's food money is not enough to buy you a piece of paper, are you Shen family cannibalism! Keep it for your master to wipe his ass! ”

A poor Confucian hurried in, but came out scolding.

After a whole day, Shen's paper sold a hundred pieces of paper and collected less than half a tael of silver.

This is still a Confucian in order to taste the novelty, bought a card and went back to try the effect. There are very few who buy more than two or three tickets in one go.

How so?

The cost of a piece of Shen's paper is three pennies, and the hemp skin materials and labor purchased by the workshop every day are very expensive. and only half a tael of silver was collected. This papermaking workshop is a gold-swallowing beast, constantly losing money!

Shen Dafu's face completely collapsed, his face was full of dark clouds, and the wine and food were difficult to swallow.

Ten thousand taels of silver!

If you smash it into the water, it can rumble and splash thousands of feet high.

But when it smashed into this paper-making workshop, only a hundred copper plates reverberated out.

"Why are you so evil! Twenty pieces of paper are worth twenty yuan, and there are so many scholars to buy them. Our family's Shen paper is only five cents a piece, and there is no Confucian interest. ”

Shen Dafu couldn't believe it and muttered.

I used to run a silk business, but I didn't think it was difficult to do.

Why is this paper buying business so difficult!

"Dad, I kind of get it!

The wealthy and powerful people in Jinling City who bought the paper don't look at the price at all, and there is no difference between ten or twenty copper coins for them, not bad money.

You can come and buy our Shen's paper, those Confucian students are all very poor. Five copper coins and a piece of paper, as if they wanted their lives, they were reluctant to take it out. ”

Shen Wanbao understood it and was speechless.

Shen Dafu glared at Shen Wanbao angrily, pointed at his nose and scolded: "You little king and eight calves, you and Xiao Duhou are both the four great masters of Jinling, why are they so much worse?!" ”

Shen Wanbao was full of grievances, "Dad, don't keep scolding me little Wangba, isn't this scolding your own old Wangba!" Quality, we are civilized Jinling people, key quality. ”

Shen Dafu vented his dissatisfaction to Shen Wanbao.

But it can't solve the problem.

Ten thousand taels of silver!

How many acres of land can you buy, how many times you can visit the Qinhuai Painting Boat, just like that.

Shen's father and son stared at each other and choked, their eyes were red, and they hugged their heads and cried.

...

Pingwangfu.

Yu Yuan wing.

In the past two days, the faint paper of Tun has been sold out in one go.

There are even Jinling scholars and noblewomen who sent old ladies to drop a pile of silver and book the faint paper for the second half of the month.

Chu Tianxiu lay comfortably on a treasure chest full of silver in the side room, happily touching the big ingots of silver.

Thousands of taels of silver with white flowers.

It's so cool!

It's only been a few days, and the money from the paper workshop has been returned.

Although the "Little Dull Marquis" is known as spending money like dirt, tens of thousands of taels of silver were lost in one year, and he is the first squanderer in Jinling City.

But that's the old "little dusk"!

He Chu Tianxiu crossed over by himself, except for touching the two copper plates in Zu'er's hand at the Hongmen Inn, and never touched the money again.

Even the five thousand taels of silver for the workshop given by Li Yu were all handled by Di'er, and they were too tightly managed, and they didn't pass his hands at all.

I didn't even have a chance to dip the oil and water.

He's a little marquis, and he's going to die of poverty.

Now the faint paper is as famous as the day in Jinling City, and it is selling well, and there are constantly all the gate lords, noblewomen, and young ladies in Jinling City asking for the door, and there are already thousands of taels of silver in just a few days, and the money is too fast.

At last he saw a large amount of white silver.

After taking a bite, the silver ingot left a smug shallow tooth mark.

It's real silver!

In his previous life, he had never seen such a large ingot of silver.

finally earned a lot of private money, if Li Yu dared to give him this door-to-door son-in-law in the future, he rolled up the silver and went to the bustling Qinhuai River to be chic.

This crossing of the boy day, don't be too cool!

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but think, the goal of this big box of silver private money is a bit big, where should it be hidden? Why don't you find an open space in the courtyard and bury it?!

"Husband, there is great news!"

Outside the door of the wing room, Li Yu's gentle voice of joy and the sound of small footsteps came.

Chu Tianxiu was suddenly startled, a little panicked, and instinctively wanted to hide the silver.

But this wing room is empty, there is no bed, no cabinet, there is no place to hide. This, how this should be for good!

"Crunch!"

Li Yu pushed open the door and came in with Di'er with a spring breeze on his face.

Li Yu saw that the chamber that was originally full of faint paper was completely empty, leaving only a large pile of silver in the box.

Chu Tianxiu lay lazily on a pile of white flowers and silver, looking at them in a stunned and panicked manner.

Li Yu was a little surprised: "Hey, all the paper is sold out?" That's a lot of silver. Di'er, put this money in the treasury! ”

"Yes, Lord Shire. Uncle, please come down, the silver is cold on top, be careful that it is frozen. ”

Di'er said happily.

"No ——!"

Chu Tianxiu's eyes widened, and he was lying on top of the silver box like a crab and hugged it, extremely firm, unable to live or die, "Don't, lady, Yu'er loves his wife!" It's not your silver... It's my hard-earned money! ”

Li Yu saw that he was eager to protect the silver, and couldn't help but persuade softly: "Husband, let me tell you a great piece of good news." This morning, the emperor has given you permission to participate in the palace examination! ”

"Really?"

Chu Tianxiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "So, my cart of bamboo slips has an effect?" The emperor is really sage, and he can still see the sparkle all over my body! ”

"It's not... Your self-recommendation letter offended Prime Minister Xie Cheng and was almost rejected by Prime Minister Xie Cheng.

But fortunately, I expected it, and spent a lot of gifts in advance, entrusted Princess Xiang Ling, and my father, to intercede with the emperor. There is also Lord Sangongkong, who also said a lot of good things for you in the court. ”

Li Yu said.

Chu Tianxiu's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true. You said that Master Kong is such a big official, and he has helped so much, we can't help but express it, right? ”

Li Yu said distressedly: "I'll use this silver first to help you dredge up the relationship." In the future, the husband will use the silver, and then he will support it with me. ”

"Well, unblock the relationship... It seems to cost a lot of silver. ”

Chu Tianxiu thought about it, and finally reluctantly got down from the top of the silver box.

Three years of Qingzhi County, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. If you don't have a few thousand taels of silver to dredge, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to make a small county order!

In order to become an official, this bit of money will be used to dredge up the relationship.

In the future, I don't have to worry about not having a chance to get private money.

Soon, Di Er called a few servants to carry away all the silver boxes of her uncle Chu Tianxiu and sent them to the silver treasury of the county lord Li Yu.

Chu Tianxiu's regretful gaze looked at a full box of warm silver, and gradually moved away.

"Husband rests early, Ming'er is the palace test, so let's prepare. Questioning is difficult, and it is not easy to pass.

We also have a son in the palace, Li Kangnian, who participated in the New Year's Lift a few years ago, and this year he is Nian Nian again. He has some experience and experience in going to the test. I'll ask him to come over and you can talk about it. ”

Li Yu asked Chu Tianxiu to prepare for the palace trial with peace of mind.

She quickly took Diel and left.

On the way, she instructed Di'er: "I still have hundreds of pieces of paper in my study, and I will send them to the Confucian Mansion." Although I don't know why Master Kong will help in the court, as juniors, we should still be thankful! ”

"Yes, you really have a way, county lord!"

Diel immediately smiled and nodded.

My uncle didn't know what to think, but he believed the excuse of "taking the silver to dredge" so easily.

Imperial Doctor Kong Hanyou, a generation of Confucians, supervising hundreds of officials, who dares to send him a few thousand taels of silver!

Dusk paper, used in the literati's study, is not worth a few taels of silver, and it is more appropriate for the younger generation to send some to express their gratitude.

"Your uncle is too good at tossing, he can't have silver in his hand, and once he has silver, he will definitely turn the sky. I won't be able to stop him then! ”

Li Yu chuckled.
