"Xinhua Bookstore?"

Looking at the four big characters written by Li Yuanjia on a large piece of paper, Fang Fengzhu's big eyes blinked, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face: "King, does this Xinhua word have any special meaning?" ”

She knows new words, and she is no stranger to Chinese characters, but she doesn't understand them together.

His face did not change and his heart did not beat, Li Yuanjia shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It doesn't have any special meaning, it's just that I feel good about writing these two words in the past few days, so I just wrote them down casually." ”

“……”

His eyelids jumped twice, but Fang Fengzhu didn't speak.

Is that okay?

"Huh."

After laughing dryly, Li Yuanjia felt a little empty in his heart, and hurriedly opened the topic and said: "The shop in the East Market is ready, and it will officially open the day after tomorrow, and I have asked people to prepare 10,000 blank sheets...... Bong-joo, how much do you think is more appropriate for a blank sheet of paper? ”

"Twenty bucks, at least twenty bucks!"

"Uh, so sure?"

After listening to his princess's words, Li Yuanjia was stunned.

He opened his mouth to ask Fang Fengzhu about the pricing of the blank paper, but it was just to change the topic, and he didn't expect a teenage girl to give any opinions. After all, in Li Yuanjia's eyes, his princess was blessed in the Guogong Mansion under the protection of her parents for more than ten years, and she didn't even go out a few times, what do you know?

But he didn't expect that he just asked casually, and the other party directly gave a categorical answer.

And twenty bucks?

This figure is exactly the price they set before.

"Yes, I'm sure."

Although Li Yuanjia's little face was red when he was looked at by Li Yuanjia's surprised eyes, Fang Fengzhu bit his lip and nodded firmly: "Although I don't know how much our white paper costs, but depending on the price of white paper in the Li family paper mill on the market, we have to sell it for at least twenty yuan a piece...... Our paper is much better than their best one! And if the price is low, it is easy to offend other businesses that make a living by making and selling paper. ”

"Hmm......"

Looking at Fang Fengzhu with a serious face, Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows, and was quite surprised in his heart.

Paper is never cheap.

In other words, since Cai Lun improved papermaking technology hundreds of years ago and made paper the main writing material, it has never been a bargain. From the collection of raw materials to the pulping, soaking, crushing, molding, drying of a piece of paper...... The period lasted several months, and the handmade production consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and the cost was extremely high.

So paper is never for ordinary people.

However, thinking of the price of 20 yuan a piece of paper, Li Yuanjia still couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the 12 years of Zhenguan, how much money is a bucket of rice? It's just three pennies. The price of this blank paper can buy six or seven buckets, more than eighty catties, which is almost enough for a family to eat for a month.

However......

This twenty dollars is a blank piece of paper, which is really not expensive.

You must know that the one Li Yuanjia said is not the size of an ordinary book, nor is it the size that can be used to write calligraphy and even draw in the Li Family Paper Workshop, but a real large one!

The size of this paper was given to death by Li Yuanjia from the beginning.

It is four feet long and two feet eight inches wide.

No one knows why Li Yuanjia made such a size, Wang Pu They only know that everyone must strictly follow this, and if they make mistakes, they will be punished!

Moreover, Xinhua Bookstore also provides a cutting service, this large white paper can be cut into up to 32 sheets, each of which is the same size, of course, the price after cutting will be slightly higher......

Overall, the price is still very conscientious.

In fact, according to the quality of the white paper, and the price of the previous Li family paper mill boutique, the pricing can be higher, at least thirty yuan a piece is no problem. If it weren't for Li Yuanjia's insistence on low prices, let alone thirty yuan a piece, Wang Pu would even dare to set forty or fifty!

After all, it is the best white paper in Datang, and it makes sense that it is expensive to sell.

Moreover, the white paper produced by Han Wangfu is not only full of toughness and good ink absorption, but the color of the paper is not comparable to the current ephedra paper. Ordinary people, and even some petty officials, may be reluctant to buy it, but for the magnates in Chang'an and Luoyang, where extravagance has gradually risen, what is it to spend dozens or even hundreds of times a year to buy paper?

It's just twenty dollars for a piece of paper, and Li Yuanjia has already made a lot of money.

For 20 yuan a piece, Wang Pu and the others made 10,000 pieces of blank paper in a month are 2,000 yuan, and in a year it is 24,000 yuan!

How much money did the entire paper mill invest?

Anyway, Li Yuanjia can be sure that it will definitely not exceed 5,000 guan!

Even at his request, the paper-making workshop built by Wang Pu oversaw a large area of land, leaving enough wealth, and building houses for craftsmen and handymen to live in, and purchasing a large number of daily necessities, did not spend much money. In the future, the annual labor expenses, the cost of purchasing papermaking materials, fuel, etc., and even the cost of Li Yuanjia's gifts to the emperor, the crown prince, Fang Xuanling and others, as well as the store expenses and taxes, will definitely not exceed 10,000 yuan!

If the paper can be sold, Han Wangfu will earn at least more than 10,000 yuan a year.

It's not a lot of money, but it's satisfying.

If it weren't for Wang Pu's unremitting efforts to improve the process and reduce costs over the years, I am afraid that twenty yuan would have just recovered the cost. But now the quality of the paper is much higher than that of the Li family paper mill, but the price is not much different, Li Yuanjia can already imagine that once these papers are put on sale, they will be very popular......

Far from it.

Seeing Li Yuanjia's surprised look because of his words, Fang Fengzhu pursed her lips and smiled a little proudly.

Didn't expect that, right?

From the day His Majesty and his father made the decision and married her to Li Yuanjia, Fang Fengzhu embarked on the road of becoming a princess. Under the full cultivation of Fang Xuanling and the Lu family, Fang Fengzhu has been learning how to take care of a big family's industry, including these things, in addition to learning how to serve her husband well, giving grace and power to her subordinates, and even how to get along with Li Yuanjia's other concubines.

The fact that the Liang Guogong Mansion is not in business does not mean that Fang Xuanling and the Lu family do not understand.

Especially when Li Yuanjia was still in Luzhou, after making a lot of money with Thirteen Incense, Fang Xuanling deliberately taught his daughter some knowledge in this area, just because he was afraid that this King Han, who he couldn't understand, would do the same thing in the future......

Looking at it now, Fang Fengzhu especially admires the foresight of her parents.

"Not bad!"

After looking at Fang Fengzhu for a while, Li Yuanjia smiled and nodded: "Fengzhu is really smart and knows these things...... Hehe, you can learn more about other workshops in the palace in the future, and I will call all those stewards to tell you when I have time. ”

"Thank you, King, Fengzhu will work hard."

Suppressing the tumbling in his heart, Fang Fengzhu immediately nodded.

After saying these words, her excited eyes couldn't help but drift towards the four typings on the table - this is the kind of font created by the king himself, right? Sure enough, just like my father said, it's ugly and full of craftsmanship......
