Chapter 499

"Xia Gou, you are studying with my husband for the time being, and now you have to find out what you need to buy rice stalks first," Yunxi said.

Yunxi simply took Xia Gou to run around in Shangjing.

As soon as those Zhuangzi heard that the rice stalks were picked out, as long as they could be sold for ten yuan and one hundred catties without insects or rotten knots, they were basically willing, which was like extra extra money.

The agreement was signed very smoothly.

Then there is the white material necessary for boiling pulp, and the simple accounting and bookkeeping with Xia Gou learning.

Four days passed......

Xiagou's learning progress was very fast, and after Yunxi felt that Xiagou could manage a small workshop, he let Xiagou go back to the small workshop to manage it.

Xia Gou carried out Yunxi's order and began to divide the labor, dividing the twenty people into three groups, two groups and one group, some of which specialized in business sales paper, and some specialized in purchasing straw in places such as Grange.

Everything is developing in an orderly manner.

The seven catties of paper that were originally made were successfully sold, and they were exchanged for ten taels of silver, which counted the working capital in the workshop and collected more rice.

In the capital of Shangjing——

"This paper is called Yunjin paper, when I hold it, I can still smell a faint smell of rice, and I am hungry when I smell it."

"It's really good, when this cloud brocade paper is written, the ink absorbs quickly and does not disperse, my unsuccessful son, finally does not need to practice the words to become a mess, and can barely see what the word is."

“……”

A new kind of paper, the paper is easy to use, and it quickly became popular in Shangjing.

But the output of this paper can't keep up, and the workshop doesn't plan to add more manpower, so for the time being, there are so many people who are busy, and they can only produce twenty taels of paper a day, no more.

This unequal relationship between supply and marketing also made the price of Yunjin paper, which Yunxi named it after, rise all of a sudden.

Unconsciously, the price of Yunjin paper has risen, and adults don't let children practice calligraphy when they buy it, and they cherish it when they hold it.

Seeing this situation, the hawkers who specialize in speculating in prices really took advantage of the loophole and forcibly copied the paper that only cost five taels into ten taels of a knife!

Now the people who buy paper are rushing to buy it, they feel that things are expensive.

After the price of Yunjin paper was speculated, Xia Gou came to ask Yunxi, don't care.

Yunxi said: "We sell paper at that price, and tell the people in the study that we don't increase the price, and if the price increases, we will sell it ourselves and not provide it to the study." ”

What can I do?

Unless capacity catches up.

Unrealistic.

Although Xia Gou has tried his best to say that the price of paper will not rise and will continue to be produced, those hawkers who speculate on prices are as hateful as scalpers in later generations!

And this is probably because of paper, paper is a must for readers, and unconsciously, the matter also reached the ears of the emperor.

In the Imperial Palace, Imperial Study——

The emperor took a piece of snow-white paper to his nose and sniffed: "Sniff carefully, you can indeed smell a smell of rice." ”

"How much does this paper cost now?" The emperor could not understand.

"Twenty two and one knives," the big eunuch replied.

"Which paper workshop came from?"

"Xialin Village, Yun's Papermaking Workshop."

"Yun Clan?"

The emperor always felt that this "Yun Clan" sounded a little familiar.

"Ling Xiucai's mother, her maiden name is Yun," the big eunuch cautiously reminded.

"Didn't you tell me that this new cloud brocade paper has something to do with that Ling Xiucai, right?!"

The Emperor only thought it was incredible.

"Yes, it is said that Xia Gou in Xia Lin Village was taught by Ling Xiucai and his wife, and Xia Gou came forward to do business," the big eunuch replied.

The emperor fell silent with the cloud brocade paper.

"Do you know what it's made of?"

"It's a rice stalk," the great eunuch replied.

The Emperor fell silent again.

Ling Heng was deeply impressed in front of the emperor.
