Chapter 127: Popular
The students who bought cheap paper happily hugged the paper back, and after dropping it, they first took out two pieces of paper to practice calligraphy, and after making sure that it was not much different from hemp paper, they took the money and rushed to Hanmo Zhai.
Although the Lin family's reputation is very good, they shouldn't doubt it, but what if in the end they still can't resist the temptation of interests and raise prices?
You must know that the cheapest paper on the market is also eighteen texts, that kind of paper eats ink seriously, and you can't read it after writing a word, too transparent ink, and the word will be rendered.
The quality of the hemp paper in Hanmo Zhai is good, so it costs twenty dollars a knife.
Although these poor students have subsidies from the imperial court, it is impossible for them to use paper unscrupulously, and they must be careful and careful every time they practice calligraphy, for fear that they will practice the words in vain.
But no matter how diligent they are, their words are not as good as those wealthy children in their classmates, they not only have the guidance of famous teachers, the reference of famous posts, but also countless paper exercises.
Words depend on practice.
Now they can buy more than two dollars for one knife of paper, which means that they can more than double the amount of words they can practice.
So it's better to buy more when the price is low, even if the price of the Lin family rises in the end, they can afford it.
rushed to Hanmo Zhai, and happened to meet the paper mill to send straw paper.
Lin Qingwan gave the order slowly, but the people below did not dare to slack off, and there was a lot of straw paper accumulation, and the warehouse on the other side of the paper mill was almost overwhelmed.
So as soon as he received the order that Lin Qingwan could put it on the shelves, the paper mill sent two vehicles to transport the paper, one east and one west, and it happened to be escorted to the two Hanmo Zhai.
As for the housekeeper of Hanmo Zhailin in Yangzhou and Jiangdu, he didn't care, the four shops were about to put straw paper on the shelves on the 15th of the day, although Suzhou was ahead of schedule, but the news spread slowly, and it could not be transmitted to these two places in three or five days.
It's better to leave it alone, and they will naturally be on the shelves by the fifteenth.
The students walked into Hanmo Studio, saw the straw paper placed inside, and then turned their heads to look at the door that had not yet moved in, and they instantly shattered Bao Yuan's idea.
So many, the bag is not round!
"Shopkeeper, this is straw paper?"
Steward Jiang smiled and said: "It's straw paper, Lang Jun might as well take a look, this is the new paper from our Lin family, its quality is not lower than hemp paper, but the price is much less." ”
The students asked worriedly, "But is it a knife for eight cents?" ”
"It seems that the Lang Jun are well-informed, and it is a knife of eight pennies."
The students breathed a sigh of relief and immediately smiled: "Then give each of us a small bundle first." ”
A small bundle is ten knives, Steward Jiang twitched the corner of his mouth, and admonished in a low voice: "Lang Jun, it's better to buy a few knives and try them first, and then buy them when they are well used." We will not increase the price of Hanmo Studio. ”
The students smiled embarrassedly, but still insisted: "There are many people studying at home, so this paper costs a lot." ”
Steward Jiang no longer persuaded when he heard this, anyway, if this paper is well preserved, it can be used for a long time.
Students will not lose.
The students bought the paper with satisfaction, looked at the paper piled up in the study, they sighed with satisfaction, and then took a pen to write a few letters, and took two pennies to go out to find the half-grown children playing in the alley to help deliver the letters.
Each student sent a letter to a friend he knew, with only one central idea, "Hanmo Zhai has cheap straw paper to sell, and its price is only eight wen, if you have money to spare, buy it quickly."
Some of these people are government schooled like them, some are still in the county school, and some are self-schooled at home, and they all have one thing in common - their family background is average.
The cost of reading is high, not only is the bundle high, the book is expensive, the paper, ink, pen and inkstone are also expensive, and those who can afford to read either have small assets in the family, or are supported by the whole family or even the whole family.
Most people know that it is not easy at home, so they can save money if they can. Now there is an opportunity to save money, and if they don't seize it, they will be smart readers.
So, this afternoon, many people dangled to the vicinity of Hanmo Zhai, and then they were surprised to find their friends one, two, three, and then after determining the quality and price of the straw paper, they happily carried a bundle or two of straw paper back.
There is no limit to the purchase, no matter how much you want to buy.
The students were not so anxious when they saw it, and those who originally wanted to buy seven or eight bundles also settled down and tentatively bought one or two bundles first.
Steward Jiang took the opportunity to recommend their toilet paper, which is convenient to use, cheaper, and three pennies a knife.
However, there are very few people who are willing to pay for it, and although it sounds very good, it is still too expensive to use in a thatched house.
There are also merchants who rushed to hear the news, and they wanted a hundred bundles in one go, and the Jiang steward could only take the trouble to say that Hanmo Zhai does not wholesale straw paper now, even if you buy more, we will not reduce the price.
Merchants say they don't mind.
Steward Jiang once again stated that the price of straw paper will not be raised in the future, so it is impossible for you to raise the price and sell it after you want to buy the paper.
The merchants smiled and said that they understood, and still insisted on buying in large quantities.
Anyway, Suzhou can't sell it, they can go to Yangzhou.
Oh, by the way, Yangzhou also has Hanmo Zhai, then they can go to Hangzhou, this paper is so cheap, you can make double the profit by selling it for 16 Wen.
Steward Jiang thought of the inventory reported by the paper mill, and sold it to them very generously.
Both sides were happy.
Before the Lantern Festival, the Lin family became popular again, and Hanmo Zhai created two new kinds of paper, one for writing, which is paper in the real sense, and the other has opened up new uses.
There is bamboo paper and this kind of toilet paper, and other people don't pay much attention to straw paper, only that it is cheaper than hemp paper.
Except for the students and businessmen who are closely related to them, the superiors rarely pay attention to this.
But there are always a few people who are surprised.
One is Zhou Tingshi, he just received an urgent report from the border pass, and the people he sent over led the way to the Southern Expeditionary Army and copied the back road of the Lu family's army, and fought another big victory. Now the supplies are somewhat unable to keep up, and he is asked to raise military rations immediately.
Let's not talk about supplies or anything, the most important thing is that Daliang's army has now captured the three cities of the Southern Han Dynasty and copied the back road of the Lu family's army, which is a great achievement.
And there is a credit to him, but this strategy was offered by Lin Qingwan, coupled with the influence of bamboo paper, Zhou Tingshi can't help but pay more attention to the Lin family recently.
So as soon as Han Mo Zhai came out of the straw paper, he knew.
While Mrs. Zhou was enthusiastically sending someone to buy toilet paper, he was holding a piece of straw paper and pondering.
The staff was very puzzled, and seeing that he was silent for a long time and did not speak, he couldn't help but cry out tentatively, "My lord? ”
Zhou Tingshi came back to his senses, glanced at the staff, and then waved his hand: "It's okay, you go down, I'll stay alone for a while." ”
"Wait," Zhou Tingshi glanced at the papyrus paper in his hand, lowered his eyes and said: "Tell people to pay more attention to the Lin family, don't bump into it without long eyes, after all, it is the county lord and county lord of His Majesty, if I am bullied under my rule, I will have no face to see Your Majesty and Lin Gong." ”
The staff bowed their heads and bowed back.
He is also full of reverence for the Lin family, although he doesn't know why the adults take care of the Lin family, but it's not for evil, why wouldn't he do it?
