Chapter 302 Qingshufang

Dugu Huanxu’s people said that he was at war, but she didn’t let anyone inform him.

Although the news of the previous war came, the city was in chaos for a while, housing prices plummeted, and food prices skyrocketed, but with the good news from the front line, the situation in the city has stabilized a lot.

King Li also conveyed these messages on purpose, fearing that the people would not believe him, and his fiefdom would suffer under internal and external troubles.

So at this time, housing prices in the city have basically returned to their previous levels.

In order to let more people know that her paper shop opened, she specially invited a juggling troupe to perform at the door of her shop, which attracted many guests.

When the guests were about to gather, she asked the troupe to step down, stepped forward and said loudly: “Everyone, welcome to my paper workshop. From today, my paper workshop will be open for business.”

After speaking, she climbed up the ladder herself and tore off the red silk from the signboard.

Everyone looked at it, and there were three words Qingshufang written on it.

One person asked: “Paper shop? I’ve never heard of it. What do you sell?”

Nangong Anshan smiled and said: “You may not know what paper is made of, so I can demonstrate it to you here.”

After speaking, she walked to the table where the pen, ink, paper and inkstone had already been prepared, and began to write.

After a while, she asked the two assistants to hold the written words separately, and said: “This is the use of paper. It can be used for writing. With paper, scholars no longer need to use heavy bamboo slips to write.” .”

The two guys came to the side of the crowd again, and showed the onlookers the paper with writing on it.

Many onlookers saw that they could actually write on paper, so they couldn’t help touching the paper to get a feel for what it was like.

One person touched the paper, looked at the words on it, and said in surprise: “This paper is really a good thing, it is so light and thin, and the written words are also very beautiful.”

Another person said: “This paper is really good. If you write on such white paper, those children who don’t like reading will probably fall in love with reading.”

“This paper is so beautiful, it’s white, and the writing looks very comfortable.”

“Yes, this paper is really convenient to carry.”

…

Nangong Anshan waited for the guys to come back, and said: “In the future, the accountant will keep accounts, so he can use paper.”

After finishing speaking, she took out the white book that had already been bound, and said: “This is a book that has already been bound, and everyone can use it to keep accounts in the future. You can even write books on it. If you want to bring books in the future, you don’t need to Just bring bamboo slips, just bring 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’s so amazing that it can replace the letter.”

“This is a commercial secret, I can’t say it.”

Another person asked: “Is this paper expensive?”

“Scarcity is the most precious thing. This paper is so good and so convenient, so it is naturally very expensive. A piece of paper for practicing calligraphy, one meter long and one meter wide, costs 50 Wen. For other specifications, you can buy it.” Go inside and find out.”

Now she is a paper-making workshop, and the daily paper production is very limited.

Fifty Wen a piece is a bit expensive. Nowadays, many workers don’t pay fifty Wen a day, but she is the only one who can make paper now. Rare things are more expensive, and it’s normal to be more expensive.

There will be more papermaking workshops waiting for her in the future, and it will not be too late to lower the price at that time.

Now that the price is reduced, it is estimated that no matter how much paper she has, she will not be able to sell it, and the paper shop will even be very busy, and she will not make much money by then.

Another person asked: “Where is the white book? How much is the book for keeping accounts?”

“That needs a tael of silver.”

The people present were talking again.

“This paper is too expensive.”

“I don’t think it’s very expensive. A roll of blank bamboo slips costs 40 Wen a roll. This paper, which is one meter long and one meter wide, is only fifty Wen. It’s easier to carry the paper on the back. I I don’t think it’s worth it.”

“That’s true.”

Nangong Anshan looked at the table next to her, and there were already unwritten papers on the table.

She said: “Everyone, if you want to feel what it’s like to write on paper, you can come and try it. But everyone has to line up, and each person can only write one word.”

Some of the onlookers were eager to try, and hurriedly stood in the positions designated by the people from Qingshufang.

Nangong Anshan said: “Everyone, come and try it. After you try it, please give up your seat immediately.”

Soon, some people went to try to write.

After a while, dozens of people wrote it.

“This is written on paper, it feels really different.”

“It’s just that I think paper is easy to break, it’s too fragile.”

“The slips are not as fragile. Some people sell them poorly. Sometimes they can break the slips if they are accidentally dropped on the ground.”

“But the slips can be used repeatedly. After practice, they can be used again after washing.”

“It can be used, but no matter what, the effect of writing is not as good as that written on paper.”

“makes sense.”

“You are all right, but I still feel that paper is more convenient. Just because the paper is light, it can win the letter.”

…

After Nangong Anshan and everyone’s discussions were quieter, she said loudly: “Today is the first day of opening of my Qingshufang, no, it is the first day of opening of His Royal Highness and my Qingshufang. Everything, everything Buy one get one free.”

“If you buy one piece of paper, you can get two pieces of paper; if you buy ten pieces of paper, you can get twenty pieces of paper; if you buy one booklet, you can get two copies; if you buy ten booklets, you can get twenty copies.”

“There are also pens and inkstones on sale inside, and it’s the same buy one get one free. The discount is only for one day, everyone should hurry up and buy it quickly, and good things will be offered to everyone one after another in the future.”

The pens and inkstones are all in the space. She has a full stock in the empty room in the backyard. No matter how good the business outside is, they can handle it.

Some people were overjoyed immediately, buying one and getting one free. In this way, buying a piece of paper is much more cost-effective than buying a roll of bamboo slips.

One person suddenly asked: “Girl, you said that your Qingshufang also belongs to His Royal Highness Li Wang?”

“Yes.” Nangong Anshan said with a smile: “This Qingshufang is in cooperation with His Royal Highness Prince Li. Without him, my Qingshufang would not be able to open.”

“I see.”

“That’s right.” Nangong Anshan said loudly: “If there is a school that wants to purchase in large quantities, you can go to Liuye Village, which is the Liuye Village where oil is produced. If you need a large amount at one time, or want to If you want to buy it for a long time, I can make the decision here and give you a discount. For example, if you want a thousand sheets of paper at a time, which is originally fifty yuan a piece, I can make the decision and give you forty-five yuan a piece. But If you buy it at Qingshufang, you won’t have this discount.”
