Chapter 254: Zhang Tiandao is seriously ill
At the same time, the entrances of various royal white paper retail offices in Kyoto were crowded with people.
It's all here to buy blank paper.
Most of them are ordinary people who want to buy some blank paper for their children.
After all, such a large blank sheet of paper only costs a penny.
I bought it home, and I definitely didn't lose it.
All of a sudden, the entire Kyoto Imperial 100 retail shops were full.
A morning passed.
At least half of the retailers sold out of blank paper.
The shopkeepers of each shop can only go to the white paper workshop and then mobilize a large number of white paper.
And at this moment, the Zheng family.
The head of the family, Zheng Xiang, sat on the chair, his face pale.
He also held a blank piece of paper in his hand.
Whether it is in terms of the workmanship or quality of the white paper, it is better than their Zheng family's white paper, I don't know how many times.
However, such a blank paper is only sold for a copper plate, is this a little too cheap?
You must know that the cost price of their Zheng family's white paper also has to be five copper plates.
Zheng took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
"Could it be that Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, is losing money and making money? It's impossible for a penny! ”
"This tyrant should want to fight a price war, so that our family's white paper workshops have no way to survive and close down one after another."
"Hehe, Tang Tingbai, your tyrant's abacus is not bad, but you don't know the background of our family, isn't it just a price war? Wouldn't our family? You Tang Tingbai want to hurt me for 800 and lose 1,000 for yourself, okay, I'll be accompanied by the Zheng family. ”
In the afternoon of the same day.
Kyoto's white paper giant, the Zheng family released the news.
All white paper is also sold for a penny each.
After hearing the news, many people in Kyoto flocked to the Zheng family's white paper retail office.
However, when they picked up the Zheng family's blank paper, they were a little disappointed.
Because both in terms of the quality of the paper and the water absorption, it is not as good as the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
The people turned their heads and flocked to the Royal Chamber of Commerce again.
In this way, the price war between the two sides lasted for three days.
Although the Zheng family's white paper is also a penny, few people come to buy it.
The Royal Chamber of Commerce's white paper retail office is full every day, crowded with people.
Prime Minister's Office.
The people of the Nanshan Power Group gathered here, all of them holding white papers in their hands, and their faces were a little unsightly.
Zhang Tiandao, the head of the household department, was the first to speak: "Prime Minister, this white paper is much better than the white paper produced by other families in Kyoto, and it only sells a copper plate, and the old minister's family has bought 30,000 pieces of white paper, this thing is good." ”
Wang Changlin, the head of the Ministry of Industry, also nodded, with a trace of regret on his face: "Indeed, I also bought a lot, I didn't expect that the emperor is not only a good hand at leading troops to fight, but also good at making white paper, now I have some regrets, it would be good if the Ministry of Industry could also participate in it a month ago, after all, such a good white paper, if the Ministry of Industry mastered the manufacturing method, there would be at least hundreds of millions of silver in the account every year." ”
Zhang Tiandao also nodded, with a trace of regret on his face.
"Hey, yes, the old man didn't expect that the emperor would be able to make such a good blank paper, regret it, such a good opportunity, the old man actually took the initiative to give up."
Speaking of this, Zhang Tiandao's face was full of distress.
He clutched his heart, unspeakably uncomfortable.
Time flies, three days later.
In just three days, the Royal Chamber of Commerce had already earned three million taels of silver.
The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
When Tang Tingbai saw the ledger, his eyes widened in surprise.
Tang Tingbai could foresee that the sales of white paper must be unusually hot, but he never expected that it would be so popular.
Three million taels of silver were sold in three days.
You know, a copper plate can only buy a blank piece of paper.
How much white paper do you have to sell for three million taels of silver?
In addition, Tang Tingbai's white paper is easy to make and the cost is very cheap.
Three million taels of silver on white paper, to be honest, the cost price is only 30,000 taels.
That's a hundredfold profit.
In fact, Tang Tingbai is not prepared to make much money on white paper, after all, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.
It's just that I didn't expect the people to be so cooperative.
And so it was, five days later.
Kyoto has once again opened 100 new stores.
Named Royal Glass Retail Office.
Glass is more popular with people than white paper.
After all, glasses, bowls, and even windows were all things they had never heard of before.
Moreover, a glass is also sold for a penny.
A similar blue and white porcelain bowl costs at least 30 yuan.
For a while, the glass was once again robbed.
Ten days later, the early dynasty, the Xuanzheng Palace.
Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair with a calm face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you should all know the situation in Kyoto in the last half month, right?"
Hearing this, the civil and military officials nodded in unison, but their faces were a little unsightly.
In the past half month, they are naturally clear about the situation in Kyoto, and it can be said that the most topical and popular thing in Kyoto is the royal white paper workshop and glass workshop.
Nowadays, people in Kyoto basically have some white paper and a few glass products in their homes.
And the reason why these two things are so popular is simple: they are cheap and easy to use.
At this time, Zhang Tiandao, the head of the household department, took the lead in standing up, with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, the emperor should have made a lot of money in the past half a month, right?"
Tang Tingbai nodded, and he looked at Huang Jin beside him.
The little fat man Huang Jin nodded immediately.
He took the ledger out of his bosom and read it aloud.
"The white paper workshop has sold a total of 33 million taels of silver in half a month."
"The glass workshop has sold a total of 150 million taels of silver in half a month."
What???
Listening to Huang Jin's words, the faces of the civil and military officials changed again.
In just half a month, the Royal Chamber of Commerce has earned nearly 200 million taels of silver?
That's too much, right?
Zhang Tiandao of the household department listened to this number and sat on the ground.
His eyes were a little distracted, and he was muttering to himself.
"One hundred and eighty million taels of silver, one hundred and eighty million taels of silver, one hundred and eighty million taels of silver!"
"I was so old and dizzy, I was blinded by lard, and I was ...... actually took the initiative to refuse the emperor's cooperation, I ...... I'm simply the number one shabi in the world! ”
"I ...... I regret it, I ......."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Tiandao's eyes widened, and he didn't come up in one breath, and passed out directly.
Seeing this scene, the faces of all the civil and military officials changed.
They didn't expect that Zhang Tiandao would faint in the court.
And Tang Tingbai's face also changed, and he hurriedly looked at Huang Jin beside him: "Go and call the imperial doctor." ”
Huang Jin immediately nodded and trotted away.
Soon, the imperial doctor came to the Xuanzheng Hall and treated Zhang Tiandao, and the old guy finally woke up.
The diagnosis of the imperial doctor was that Zhang Tiandao was nothing serious, but he was stimulated and caused a rush to attack his heart.
Zhang Tiandao, who woke up, looked at Tang Tingbai with some embarrassment, he cleared his throat, and was a little weak: "Your Majesty, the old minister regrets it, can you ...... Can you also let Lao Chen's household department take a stake in the white paper workshop and glass workshop? ”
