Chapter 302 Clear Book
Dugu Huanxu's people said he was at war, but she didn't let anyone inform him.
Although the city was in chaos for a while when news of the previous war came, housing prices plummeted and food prices skyrocketed, but with good news coming from the front, the situation in the city has become much more stable.
King Li also deliberately conveyed this news, fearing that the people would not believe him and that his fiefdom would be in dire straits due to internal and external troubles.
Therefore, housing prices in the city have basically returned to their previous levels at this time.
In order to let more people know about the opening of her paper mill, she specially invited a vaudeville troupe to perform in front of her shop, attracting many customers.
When the guests were almost gathered, she asked the troupe to leave, stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, welcome to my paper mill. From today on, my paper mill will be open for business."
After saying that, she climbed up the ladder herself and pulled off the red silk on the signboard.
When everyone took a look, the words Qing Shufang were clearly written on it.
One person asked: "Paper mill? I've never heard of it. What does it sell?"
Nangong Anshan smiled and said: "You may not know what paper is made of, but I can demonstrate it to you here."
After saying that, she walked to the table where pens, inks, paper and inkstones had been prepared and started writing.
After a while, she handed the written words to the two clerks and said, "This is the purpose of paper. It can be used for writing. With paper, scholars no longer need thick bamboo slips to write."
The two guys came to the edge of the crowd again and showed the written paper to the onlookers.
Many people watching saw that they could actually write on the paper and couldn't help but touch the paper to feel what the paper looked like.
One person touched the paper and looked at the words on it. He was surprised and said: "This paper is really good. It is so thin and light, and the written words are also very beautiful."
Another person said: "This paper is really good. Children who don't like reading will probably fall in love with reading if they write on such a snow-white paper."
"This paper is so beautiful, it's white, and the writing looks very comfortable."
"Yes, this paper is really convenient to carry around."
Nangong Anshan waited for the guys to come back and then said: "In the future, Mr. Accountant will be able to keep accounts, so he can also use paper."
After saying that, she took out the bound white book and said: "This is a book that has been bound. You can use this to keep accounts in the future. You can even write on it. If you want to bring books with you in the future, you don't need to
Just bring the bamboo slips and a book. It’s light and convenient to put in your arms.”
The scholars present were shocked when they saw it.
One person asked: "How is this paper made? It is so magical that it can replace letters."
"This is a trade secret, I can't tell it."
Another person asked: "Is this paper expensive?"
"Things are rare and expensive. This paper is so good and so convenient, so it is naturally very expensive. A piece of paper for calligraphy, one meter long and one meter wide, costs fifty cents. You can get other specifications.
Go inside and find out."
Now she only has a paper-making workshop, and the paper she produces every day is very limited.
Fifty cents a piece is a bit expensive. Nowadays, many people work for less than fifty cents a day, but who told her that she is the only one who can make paper now? Scarce things are more valuable, so it is normal for them to be more expensive.
In the future, when she has more paper-making workshops, it will not be too late to lower the price at that time.
Now that the price is lowered, it is estimated that no matter how much paper she has, it will not be enough to sell, and the paper mill will even be extremely busy, and she will not be able to make much money by then.
Another person asked: "What about a white book? How much does it cost, the one used for accounting?"
"That one costs a tael of silver."
People present started talking again.
"This paper is too expensive."
"I don't think it's very expensive. A roll of blank bamboo slips costs 40 cents a roll. This paper, one meter long and one meter wide, only costs 50 cents. It's easier to carry the paper. I
I don’t think it’s expensive.”
"That's true."
Nangong Anshan looked at the table next to her. At this time, unwritten papers were already placed on the table.
She said: "Everyone, if you want to experience what it feels like to write with paper, you can come over and give it a try. But everyone has to line up, and each person can only write one word."
Some of the people watching were immediately eager to try, and hurriedly stood in the positions designated by the people in Qingshufang.
Nangong Anshan said: "Everyone, come here and try it. After you try it, please give up your position immediately."
Soon, some people went over to try writing.
After a while, dozens of people wrote.
"It feels really different to write it on paper."
"It's just that I think paper breaks easily, it's too fragile."
"The tablets are not all fragile. Some people sell them poorly. Sometimes the tablets can be broken if they are accidentally dropped to the ground."
"But the slips can be reused. After practicing, they can be washed and used again."
"It works, but no matter what, the writing effect is not as good as writing on paper."
"makes sense."
"What you all say makes sense, but I still think paper is more convenient. Just because paper is very light, it can beat the letter."
Nangong Anshan waited for everyone's discussion to become quieter, and then said loudly: "Today is the first day of the opening of my Qing Book Shop, no, it is the first day of the opening of His Highness Prince Li and my Qing Book Shop. Everything, all
Buy one get one free.”
"Buy one piece of paper and you'll get two. Buy ten pieces of paper and you'll get twenty. Buy one book and you'll get two. Buy ten books and you'll get twenty."
"There are also pens and inkstones for sale inside, and the same offer is buy one, get one free. The discount is only for one day, so everyone should hurry up and buy it quickly. We will continue to sell good things to you in the future."
The pens and inkstones are both inside the space. She has a spare room in the backyard fully stocked with goods. No matter how good the business outside is, she can handle it.
Some people were immediately delighted, buying one and getting one free. After all, buying a piece of paper is much more cost-effective than buying a roll of bamboo slips.
One person suddenly asked: "Girl, do you think this Qing Shufang of yours also belongs to His Highness Prince Li?"
"Yes." Nangong Anshan said with a smile: "This Qing Shufang is in cooperation with my Highness, Prince Li. Without him, I would not be able to open this Qing Shufang."
"I see."
"By the way." Nangong Anshan said loudly: "If there is an academy that wants to purchase in large quantities, you can go to Liuye Village, which is where oil is made. If you want to buy a large amount at one time, or want to
If you want to buy it for a long time, I can make the decision and give you a discount. For example, if you want a thousand pieces of paper at one time, and the original price is fifty cents per piece, I can make the decision and give you forty-five cents per piece. But
