Chapter 583: Return (10)

There are so many people in Jiangling Prefecture, how can thirty catties a day be enough to sell. The most depressing thing is that each person is still limited to two catties.

Generally, a large family, a large family plus slaves, there are hundreds of people in the house, and two catties of sugar are not enough at all on this day.

The thirty catties of white sugar were basically sold out in less than a quarter of an hour as soon as the store opened.

Later, because the people in Jiangling Prefecture were not enough to buy, Qiao Xiaowan couldn't resist so many people wanting to buy, so he had no choice but to raise thirty catties to fifty catties a day.

Even if it rises to fifty catties, this white sugar is far from being able to supply the needs of the entire Gangneung State.

It also led to the higher the value of sugar, and outside, the price of white sugar has been as high as fifty taels of silver per catty, such a sky-high price, and many powerful people and squires are eager to buy it.

There are few goods, and they can't be bought at all, which leads to the high value of white sugar.

It is not only the sugar shop that makes money, the hemp paper invented by her paper mill is better than ordinary rice paper, Su Heqing opened another Qiao's bookstore, in addition to selling books, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the most important thing is their newly made hemp paper.

The price of hemp paper in ancient times was not high, and Qiao Xiaowan also planned to sell paper with small profits and quick turnover, so the price of paper was not high.

At first, the children of the family in Gangneung Prefecture didn't know how good this hemp paper was.

Of course, the majority of scholars in Jiangling Prefecture are still from average backgrounds, and the price of this hemp paper is affordable and cheap, and some poor scholars bought it and took it home to use, but they didn't think of using it, and those scholars didn't think it was so easy to use.

It's countless times better than the outrageously expensive rice paper in those bookstores.

Not only is it flexible and wear-resistant, it is not as easy as rice paper to wear and tear and break, whether it is writing or drawing, the rendering power of the font scenery is also much better than that of rice paper, adding the saturation and heaviness of the font scenery, which makes people like it at a glance.

This hemp paper has gradually jumped in the reputation of poor scholars, good things are always good things, no matter how low the price is, it will not be hidden.

The hemp paper soon became famous, and in the end, even the children of the family, the squires, and even the Confucian people in Gangneung Prefecture rushed to buy it.

As a result, the business of Qiao Xiaowan's fourth store, the hemp paper in Qiao's bookstore was once again sold out of stock.

Because hemp paper is too good and cheap, after the reputation spreads, many people come to buy it, and some poor scholars are afraid that they will be bought up by those rich scholars, and they will buy a lot of waste, so they are afraid that they will not be able to buy it in the future.

Fortunately, Qiao Xiaowan had expected such a situation, and had already instructed the store manager to control the number of transactions every day.

The shopkeeper in Qiao's bookstore is a reliable shopkeeper invited by Su Heqing, and the shopkeepers who can be the shopkeeper are basically exquisite, shrewd people, as long as the owner shows a little intention, he knows what to do.

This is limited to purchases by everyone, so that those poor scholars can also buy hemp paper.

This hemp paper, like cakes and candies, has also begun to fall into the trend of purchase restrictions, in short, the business of Qiao Xiaowan's four stores is not good every day.

Now Qiao Xiaowan's income from four stores a month has almost reached one million taels, one million taels a month, and since the past dynasties, the annual treasury income of other dynasties is not as good as Qiao Xiaowan's annual income.

But even so, Qiao Xiaowan's expenses are huge.

You must know that their army will never rob the people and embezzle the people's finances, Qiao Xiaowan understood in his previous life that the army is to be raised.
