Chapter 16: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
What's so hard to do?
When his brother-in-law stayed for dinner, Li Yuanjia kept frowning, as if to help him think about how to solve this problem. But after Fang Yiai left the palace, Li Yuanjia suddenly slapped the table and stood up.
The originally frowning brows instantly relaxed, and he looked suddenly enlightened.
His performance shocked Fang Fengzhu next to him, and thought that his brother's desire for more cards annoyed her husband, so he hurriedly said carefully: "King, my bereaved love is still young, and sometimes I don't use my mind to think about it before I speak...... Just now he said that he wanted more cards, and the king didn't have to care. ”
"Huh?"
Glancing at Princess Fang Fengzhu with some surprise, a smile flashed in Li Yuanjia's eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "Hehe, it's okay." Just want some cards, what's the point? But that paper...... It is indeed quite rare, and even the workshops of our palace can't produce much for a while. And the engraving is fine, and the ink is also special, which is expensive......"
When these words came to the end, Li Yuanjia's heart ached.
Although I just got married...... Or it's okay to know each other for a few days, but Fang Fengzhu is his wife no matter what, and she looks really simple, and she still feels a little guilty for lying to her like this.
As soon as Li Yuanjia felt guilty in his heart, Fang Fengzhu hurriedly nodded and said, "King, since this is the case, then don't do it for him again." The left and right are just playthings, I will tell the second brother tomorrow, and say that our palace will not do it anymore. ”
When she said these words, Fang Fengzhu was actually a little distressed.
Don't look at his marriage with Li Yuanjia this time, it can be said that the whole house did their best to accompany tens of thousands of dowries, and finally did not lose the face of the prince of the country. But Fang Fengzhu is only sixteen years old after all, and Fang's family education is strict, and the pocket money every month before marriage is actually not much.
As soon as he heard Li Yuanjia say that cards cost a lot of money, Fang Fengzhu was naturally a little reluctant.
Isn't the money of King Han's Mansion the money of Princess Han?
Looking at the tangled look on Fang Fengzhu's face, his face turned red, but Li Yuanjia still coughed lightly and smiled: "Actually, I just thought of a solution, which is...... Alas! ”
"What's the solution? The king may as well speak and see. ”
With a light in his eyes, Fang Fengzhu hurriedly asked.
"This ......"
There was a hesitant look on his face, and after a moment of silence, Li Yuanjia sighed lightly and said, "Fengzhu, do you know the blank paper produced in our palace workshop?" ”
"Of course, the best Hanwang paper in the whole Tang Dynasty!"
nodded, Fang Fengzhu looked as a matter of course.
Before she got married, she used the white paper of Han Wangfu, and she also heard her father Fang Xuanling say that now it has completely overshadowed the original Li family paper mill paper products and has become synonymous with top white paper.
"Han Wang paper? What the heck? ”
After being stunned for a moment, Li Yuanjia immediately reacted, and after twitching his cheeks twice, he smiled dryly: "Yes, the best white paper in Datang!" You also know that Wang Pu is very capable, and now more and more paper is made every month, in addition to giving some to the emperor, the prince and the prince every year, and our palace uses some for itself, there is still a lot of leftover...... The paper is extremely expensive, and it is easy to get damp and damaged in the warehouse, so I asked people to buy a set of shops in the East Market, and I plan to put the white paper there to sell......"
"Huh? Are you planning to sell blank paper? ”
After listening to her husband's words, Fang Fengzhu was shocked all of a sudden.
Trade?
His husband Li Yuanjia, the official prince of the Tang Dynasty, wants to open a shop and do business in Chang'an East City?
Just kidding, right?
"Ahem, yes, that's what I was going to do."
Fang Fengzhu's reaction made Li Yuanjia a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it for a while, he still nodded and said, "It's going to open in two days, so I thought about it, so I just asked Wang Pu and them to make more cards and sell them in the same shop." In this way, it is also difficult for the widow of the province, and it is good if anyone wants them to go to the East Market to buy it. ”
“…… Goo-dong. ”
swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and Fang Fengzhu was a little speechless for a while.
As the eldest lady carefully cultivated by the Liang Guogong Mansion, she naturally has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and knows that since Li Yuanjia said this, she has already made up her mind and is ready. But the education he received since he was a child made Fang Fengzhu naturally resistant to doing business!
Under the collision of left and right, she was a little speechless for a while.
Glancing at Fang Fengzhu, who was dazed, Li Yuanjia exhaled lightly, grabbed her little hand and said, "Fengzhu, I will find someone to do the shop, and after you finish learning those books, just check the accounts every month......
……
"Well, it's not easy."
After Fang Fengzhu left the study with a worried face, Li Yuanjia leaned back on the back of the chair and sighed.
No way, the psychological pressure is a bit big.
coaxing a sixteen-year-old girl, and she is also her eldest wife, Li Yuanjia naturally will not have no burden in her heart. And more importantly, Li Yuanjia also plans to bring Fang Fengzhu in and help him manage the store in the future!
But in order to achieve the goal, there is not so much to care about.
Anyway, since he has joined the Han Wangfu, Fang Fengzhu must accept the fact that her husband is doing business in the future. Li Yuanjia felt that instead of letting Fang Fengzhu know the truth in the future, it was better to tell her now, so that she could accept it earlier.
And......
"Hehe, that's just the first step."
Taking a deep breath, Li Yuanjia's expression gradually became firm.
The fine white paper of Han Wangfu is the first kind of goods he carefully selected for the shop. With Wang Pu's unremitting efforts, the quality of the white paper in Han Wangfu has completely surpassed that of the Li Family Paper Mill, and it is bound to throw them farther and farther in the future. And at Li Yuanjia's insistence, the papermaking workshop has been improving technology, expanding its scale, and increasing the output of white paper.
Just last month, Wang Pu and his team produced more than 8,000 blank sheets of paper!
8,000 sheets, what is the concept?
According to the size of an ordinary book now, a blank sheet of paper can be cut into thirty-two sheets, and only two or three blank sheets of paper can be made into a book!
So such a huge quantity, naturally, means a huge production cost.
There is no reason for anyone to let these blank sheets of paper be left in the warehouse to give bugs other than for their own use and giving them away every year. Therefore, Han Wangfu opened a store, and it also sells elegant things such as white paper, which can be said to be the best reason and entry point. Even after Li Shimin knew the reason, he had a headache and chose to acquiesce.
Now with the addition of cards, people have nothing to say.
The cardboard used to make cards was improved by Wang Pu and his efforts, and the whole Datang Dynasty could be made by the Han Wangfu family, and the exquisite printing was even more expensive. It's okay to send dozens of pairs of this thing, but after it is popularized in Chang'an City, how much will it be needed in the homes of the powerful alone? Do you want Li Yuanjia to send them all?
Don't be funny, it doesn't make sense.
"Tsk, it's a brainstorm."
Thinking of his series of designs, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but feel a little proud: "And in addition to allowing the store to add a product, it can also promote Tianzhu numbers by the way, which is a two-pronged ......"
