After hearing this, the empress smiled: "What do I think is the matter, why, Miss Shu is not used to living in the palace?" ”

Wang Xiaolai thought for a while: "It's not that I'm not used to it, it's just that I don't think it's appropriate." ”

The empress looked at Wang Xiaolai: "Does Miss Shu have a place to live?" ”

Wang Xiaolai said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have told Shen Xiping that I will let Shu Jiuchai go to his house to live for a period of time first, and when I have the opportunity, I will change the land for her." ”

The empress thought for a while, nodded and said: "Cheng, it just so happens that you are busy a lot during this time, and I also plan to give you Liutun a vacation, take advantage of this point, you can go and have a good time for a few days." ”

Wang Xiaolai was overjoyed: "Obey." ”

As he spoke, he was about to leave, and after walking a few steps, he came back in a gray way.

The empress looked at Wang Xiaolai puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Xiaolai rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, you can give me some more paper." ”

The empress said: "Didn't you just give it to you for two days, and you ran out?" ”

Wang Xiaolai lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing Wang Xiaolai's appearance, the empress was angry and speechless, at that time, she angrily took out more than ten sheets from the dragon book case, stuffed them, and said, "That's all, take it and get out." ”

Wang Xiaolai agreed, accepted it, and ran away.

After the person left, the empress raised her forehead and sighed: "The loss is that I won some silver a few days ago, otherwise, this month's expenses will have to pass again." ”

Mulan hadn't left yet, and when she heard this, she was speechless for a while, the king of a country would be like ordinary people, worrying about this little thing, alas.

···

Wang Xiaolai came back from the imperial study, and when he arrived at Neiwei Liutun, Shu Jiuchai had not yet slept, and when he saw that Wang Xiaolai was coming, he hurriedly came up to take off his armor for Wang Xiaolai.

Wang Xiaolai yawned and swept the neatly stacked cigarette rolls on the table next to him, and he was happy.

When he opened his mouth, he praised Jiuchai: "Jiuchai, you did a good job." ”

Shu Jiuchai said: "Master, you have won the prize." ”

Wang Xiaolai laughed, to be honest, the rice paper that the empress gave him before was not used up, but was rolled into cigarettes by him and sold to the officers in Waitun.

And it's still high, much more expensive than buying tobacco alone.

At first, no one bought it, but it was only an hour or two, and Wang Xiaolai and Shen Xiping showed their faces back and forth in front of them smoking cigarettes, arousing the curiosity of those guys, and the sales went up instantly.

No, in the blink of an eye, half of it was gone.

Wang Xiaolai said to Shu Jiuchai: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has already agreed, let's go to Lao Shen's house tomorrow." ”

Shu Jiuchai said: "Really? ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "When have I ever lied to someone?" ”

When he said this, Wang Xiaolai's face turned red.

Called Shen Xiping, who was fighting the landlord, over and told the news that the empress had allowed the Liutun soldiers to take a holiday, heh, it made Shen Xiping very happy, and he was happy to jump at that time.

In the past two months, he has been holding back in the refugee settlement for a long time, but Shen Xiping has been suffocated, and said to Wang Xiaolai: "I'll tell my brothers to go now." ”

Wang Xiaolai waved his hand and smiled: "Go, go, go." ”

Shen Xiping agreed, and when he left, he also took a few cigarette rolls.

After Shen Xiping left, Wang Xiaolai put his foot into the hot water called by Shu Jiuchai and scalded his foot, looking at the cigarette rolls on the table, and the money symbol appeared in his eyes.

It's all money.

The tobacco was provided by Shen Xiping, and the paper was asked from the empress, which is equivalent to saying that Wang Xiaolai only needs some manual effort to make a lot of money.

And there is Shu Jiuchai to help, and there is no need for Wang Xiaolai to work hard.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, Wang Xiaolai raised his head and pondered to himself, if this situation continues, he doesn't need to pay for a cigarette roll, which is equivalent to making a net profit of fifty yuan, one hundred, that is, five taels of silver, and his monthly salary is only seven or eight taels, and it won't take long for him to reach the peak of his life and marry Bai Fumei.

Thinking about it, Wang Xiaolai smirked.

Shu Jiuchai stood aside for unknown reasons.

···

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, after the Liutun who was allowed to take a holiday left the palace, they were all like wild horses that had escaped from the brisle, and many soldiers rushed into the famous Qinglou fireworks alley in Daxing City.

Others hurried home.

Standing at the gate of the city, Wang Xiaolai, Shen Xiping, Shu Jiuchai, the three of them looked at each other, and in the end, Shen Xiping opened his mouth and said to Wang Xiaolai: "My lord, let's go back to my house first to see the situation?" ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded.

When the street walks, while walking to see the bustle of Daxing City.

Shu Jiuchai silently followed behind the two of them.

Walking again, Shen Xiping introduced Wang Xiaolai to the prosperity of Daxing City.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaolai stopped, what's the matter, he saw a shop on the side of the street, and in the shop, a few sons and brothers came out, with a lot of slaves, and in their hands, they were still carrying wrapped packages.

Shen Xiping was walking, he didn't see Wang Xiaolai, he looked back, ran back a few steps, and asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Xiaolai pointed to this and that shop.

Shen Xiping sighed: "You said that shop, the tobacco seller, what's the matter?" Any questions? ”

Wang Xiaolai hissed: "Isn't tobacco a special supply in the army, why is it also circulated in the private market?" ”

Shen Xiping said hily: "My lord, what you said is a bit funny, who doesn't like tobacco, just those boys, who have nothing to do all day long, isn't it just changing the law to pass the time, there is a market where there is demand, and it is normal to spend more than ten taels of silver to sell these tobacco." ”

"Don't be greedy, my lord, the tobacco in my house is much better than this outside, besides, their chewing tobacco practices are outdated, aren't they, my lord." Shen Xiping said.

However, Wang Xiaolai didn't listen to it, my God, such a large market that can be developed, God hurts me to death.

Shen Xiping pushed Wang Xiaolai: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Xiaolai came to his senses at this time: "No, no, let's go to your house first." ”

Shen Xiping nodded and led Wang Xiaolai away.

Along the way, Wang Xiaolai lowered his head and pondered, in this world that relies on tobacco, but no one develops the tobacco market, he is simply in heaven.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that Shen Xiping, this kid, has been sneering at tobacco since he smoked cigarettes, and he didn't look at it at all.

If you say that you produce tobacco in large quantities, isn't it a source of money?

The more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more I think about it.

But suddenly, Wang Xiaolai realized a problem, no, according to Shen Xiping's words, tobacco is a luxury in Suiyang, the audience is all in the army and the upper class, although they are rich, but the audience is too small, if it can be sold in all aspects of Suiyang, then the cost and selling price are another problem.

Not to mention anything else, the combination of tobacco and rice paper is so expensive, ordinary people, who can afford it?

But if you lower the price to the price that ordinary people can afford, you will lose too much.

Not to mention anything else, a cigarette roll costs about 200 wen of tobacco and 300 wen worth of rice paper, which adds up to 500 wen, enough to buy how much rice?

And looking at the empress's frugal appearance, it is impossible for her to use rice paper to sell cigarettes on a large scale.

If you think about it this way, you have to come up with a good idea.

Wang Xiaolai, who was poor and scared in the orphanage at the beginning, finally seized such an opportunity to make money, and it was more difficult for him to give up than to kill him.

But then again, rice paper and tobacco are too expensive, and Wang Xiaolai can't get a few cigarettes at all if he can't survive two or three gold leaves and two hundred taels of silver.

If I produce and sell my own products, how much is it possible?

Wang Xiaolai suddenly thought.

When the handicraft competition held in the university, Wang Xiaolai made some blank paper and won a handicraft championship. Although the paper he made was not as good as the A4 paper of his time, it was not much higher than the rice paper of Sui Yang.

On the point of paper, Wang Xiaolai has enough certainty.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolai couldn't help laughing, but he didn't laugh twice, and his face drooped again.

What's the matter, the problem of paper is solved, what to do with tobacco, and it is impossible to make tobacco out of thin air, if you use it by buying and selling tobacco, then you will still lose money.

Niang Xipi's is really worrying.

Thinking like this, Wang Xiaolai didn't pay much attention to the road in front of him, and he didn't pay attention, and slammed into a person in front of him, and the two of them touched their heads at that time and fell to the ground at the same time.

Before Wang Xiao could say sorry, he heard someone roaring: "Blind your dog's eyes, how did you go, you bumped into my son-in-law, do you know!" ”

Wang Xiaolai raised his head when he heard the sound, and there was a young man dressed in a pair of flowers and green pounds sitting on the ground in front of him, rubbing his arms and shouting pain, next to him, there were several young people who looked like sons, and more than a dozen subordinates who looked like dogs, one of them, scolded himself again and again.
