My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 8 8. Let's limit the purchase
After Huang Yueying went home and went into the study, Zhou Yang was reporting the matter to Huang Chengyan.

"Patriarch, the ten pieces of paper he brought were discovered by Master Kuai, and Junshi Cai gave the two to Mrs. Zhou Mu, who held a flower viewing party... Zhou Mu also said that he would go to the emperor's house Please give credit to the little lady! Now, some of the families in Xiangyang come directly behind the state shepherd's team. After delivering the letter to the Pang family, the villain rested for a day, and then hurried back. "

Huang Chengyan nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, but...you have to work hard in two days."

"But follow the orders of the Patriarch." Zhou Yang was happy in his heart. Although the journey was hard, Huang Chengyan let him do things because he valued him.

After hearing these words, Huang Yueying understood, and reckoned that in two days, more people would come.It was her cheap uncle... She was quite surprised that Cai Mao was not well evaluated by later generations. After a few words, she asked her cheap aunt to make an advertisement for her.

These people are all thieves and thieves. There is really no one who can be named in the history books!It took a while to realize that this was not only Liu Biao's request for credit for her, but also Liu Biao's political achievements.

Sighing in her heart, after all, she still needs to get used to this group of people, otherwise... she will suffer. No wonder Liu Biao has brought so much food. These food should be a thank you gift. It should be more than molecular money.

"Father, I'm back."

"Ah Chu is here?" Huang Chengyan also had a smile on his face. Today, he is very busy, but he is also very happy.

"Yes."

"How is the workshop?"

"With Aunt Li and Uncle Song here, they should be very attentive." Huang Yueying smiled, "Uncle Zhou has worked hard."

"Young lady, you're welcome!" Zhou Yang didn't dare to get big in front of Huang Chengyan, nor did he dare to get big in front of the smart young lady who is now famous all over Jingzhou.

"Okay, okay." Huang Chengyan called his daughter to him, "Chu, come here."

"Father, what's the matter?"

I saw Huang Chengyan took out a stack of gift slips, "This is what your uncle, uncle, and brother-in-law gave you."

Huang Yueying then took it, and the first thing to look at was Liu Biao's, good guy, three thousand stones of corn, ten pieces of jade, and a hundred pieces of silk... so rich!
She just likes to be relatives with such a timid person!

Then came Cai Mao's, three shops in Xiangyang, some jade, silk, and thousands of stones of corn.

Then came the Kuai family and the Pang family, who gave less than Cai Mao, but mainly gave the land in Mianyang, which together amounted to [-] mu.

The Chen family, the Yang family, and the Xi family also gave some, but not many.

"They were all given to me?" Huang Yueying didn't really understand.

Seeing the puzzled look on his daughter's face, Huang Chengyan patted her head. Achu is smart, but he doesn't care about the relationship between men and women. Doesn't he know what other people in these families mean besides Liu Biao?

Their family, Ah Chu, is 12 years old, so he is not young, not to mention, the story of Ah Chu's paper making will soon spread all over the world.It's normal for these families to be thinking about it, but unfortunately...he will listen to their Ah Chu's opinion on this matter in the end.

"Yeah, it's all yours." Huang Chengyan smiled, "All of them are for Ah Chu's dowry."

Huang Yueying had no choice but to say, "Father, although my parents ordered me to say what the matchmaker said, I have to decide this matter myself."

"Of course it's Ah Chu who decides." Huang Chengyan naturally responded, this girl, he was in so much pain that it was too late, besides... these days he and his girl had a lot of discussions, there are a lot of things to do in the future.

"That's good." Huang Yueying breathed a sigh of relief, "Since Uncle gave me the shop, let's take someone to spread the Chu paper after Uncle Zhou has a two-day rest, but if people in Xiangyang know that there is Chu paper to buy, There will definitely be competition, and with the current output of our workshop, it cannot be fully spread out."

"That's it, so there is no good way to be a father." Huang Chengyan is also in a dilemma, there are many aristocratic families in Xiangyang, and the background of the aristocratic families is even more numerous.Now the imperial court has already lost its appearance, and Liu Biao's entry into Jingzhou has not touched the family, so... the family in Jingzhou will only become richer and richer.

"Then there is a purchase limit. Each person is limited to five pieces of medium-grade Chu paper or one piece of high-grade Chu paper, and only [-] pieces of paper can be sold every day." Huang Yueying directly took the method of hunger marketing, "At that time, I will be with those who buy paper. People say that because the output of Chu paper has not kept up, so it can only be so."

Huang Chengyan and Zhou Yang's eyes lit up when they heard this, it makes sense!There are many aristocratic families in Xiangyang City, and the aristocratic families have great businesses and many branches. Who can't buy some?Then limit the purchase.

Huang Chengyan sighed, "Our Ah Chu is really amazing."

Zhou Yang also nodded in agreement, "Unfortunately..."

Is a daughter.

But he was shocked quickly and didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Huang Yueying was puzzled, "What did Uncle Zhou say?"

Zhou Yang shook his head, and then hurriedly said, "It's a pity that the production of Chu paper is slightly insufficient."

Huang Yueying nodded, yes, the time is too tight, originally planned to expand the workshop next year, but in less than half a month, the old father has prepared all the money and food, and if the construction starts one day earlier, it will be better Have a great year for the family.

New industries can also have an earlier impact on old markets.

What she has to do is not just making paper.

"Uncle Zhou can bring the Chu paper in the workshop now." Huang Yueying thought for a while, then said, "Uncle gave me three shops with adjacent addresses, don't open the other two for now, I will make my own plans next year. "

Papermaking, of course, is impossible to just make paper, and printing can keep up. With the preciousness of knowledge in this era, once books are sold, the impact will be subversive.

"What is the price of the new paper?" Zhou Yang nodded, and then asked a question.

"A large sheet of middle-grade Chu paper is five renminbi, and top-grade Chu paper is ten renminbi." Huang Yueying thought for a while and set the price.

A large piece of Chu paper is four feet long and three feet wide, which is about the size of 92cm*69cm in later generations.

Zhou Yang was puzzled, "Is it so cheap?"

Huang Chengyan smiled, "Paper is not a precious thing, it should be cheap."

"Father is right, we want everyone to want to use paper, and to be able to use paper."

Huang Yueying smiled and explained that if the price was too high, it would be equivalent to only being open to aristocratic families. Although they must be the main force in the early stage, they must have a long-term perspective in doing things. Besides, paper is a consumable after all, and the cheaper it is, the longer-term it will be.

Of course, the main thing is that the cost of new paper is not high, and when the production capacity of the new workshop comes up, it will be completely profitable.

As for her, she didn't expect that a single workshop could supply paper for the entire Jingzhou. When the time comes, a few more suitable addresses will be selected. Uncle Song and his group of earliest workers will be enough to manage a workshop, and they can continue to open new ones. workshop.Not to mention, for some processes, she and her old father had already planned to replace them with hydraulic power, and the cost of each piece of paper would be even lower.

"Patriarch and young lady Gao Yi." Zhou Yang naturally didn't say anything, he was just a servant.

"Okay, you've worked hard too, go back and rest for two days."

"promise."

Seeing Zhou Yang leave, Huang Yueying looked at her old father, "Father, when do you think printing will start?"

"At least wait until the output of Chu paper catches up?" Huang Chengyan smiled, "Otherwise there will not be enough Chu paper to sell. However, in the past two days, we must select some trustworthy people to join the paper workshop to increase production. Xiangyang paper is expensive!"

Huang Yueying also nodded, she has no objection, but the old father's way of thinking is actually very suitable for doing business!Then I thought about it, yes, the old father is almost fifty after all, and he has a lot of experience, what has he not seen?
"At that time, the Four Books and Five Classics will be the basis, plus the annotations on the scriptures of Wei Fu, Brother Shang, Shui Jing, and Song Confucianism will be able to start, and the follow-up will gradually increase." Huang Chengyan is not afraid of the source of the book at all. .He originally came from the gentry, and the Four Books and Five Classics are the foundation. What is important is the understanding and annotation of the meaning of the scriptures by Confucians of all generations.

There are also such bookstores now, but this book, after all, still has a lot of bamboo slips, copied on Caihou paper, and the quality is worrying. Now that there is new paper, and the printing technique that Ah Chu said, if it can’t bring about a trend, He has lived in vain for so many years.

"Father said so." She naturally agreed with the old father's plan.

Not being able to become a fat man with one mouthful, let alone in this era, underdeveloped transportation and poor information are great constraints, but fortunately, her cheap uncle has guaranteed the peace of Jingzhou for the next ten years, and she has at least ten years left Time to pick up and develop.

On December [-]th, the first snow fell in Jingzhou, and the mountains were stretched and covered with a layer of white.

Longzhong.

A young man in white plain linen clothes stood under the eaves, sighing, this world is a cannibal after all, his parents died young, his uncle also passed away, and his elder brother went abroad to study again. He is now ten and seven, and it is time to take responsibility Responsibility of breadwinner.

"Brother! A letter from my second sister!" In the distance, another boy about eleven or twelve years old ran over step by step through the snow with a bamboo tube in his hand and a longer bamboo tube on his back.

Hearing the sound, the young man looked at his younger brother, waited until the other party stood still, took the bamboo tube from him, opened it, and inside was a letter from his second sister, first asked about the expenses at home, and said that someone sent something over; The second is that the youngest daughter of Chengyan Gong’s family has made Chu paper, which is much better than Caihou paper. The Pang family also participated in a part, so they brought some over; the third is to ask him if he intends to marry a wife, she looks good stand up.

The young man looked at the bamboo tube behind his younger brother, "Open it."

"Brother, here is Chu paper!" The young boy chuckled, "I've already opened it and read it, it's really whiter than snow! Just like the snow on the mountain, it's pretty tight, can you... give me a piece? "

The young man laughed, and looked at the Chu paper in the long bamboo tube. It was poured out and spread out. It was smooth and delicate, flexible and white. The letter from the second sister was also written on Chu paper. The ink was not scattered, and it was comfortable to read. Room."

"Brother, I heard that this Chu paper was made by the young lady of Duke Chengyan's family. She is only twelve years old, only one year older than me!" The young man chirped, "I also heard that Xiangyang has already There is a shop opened, selling Chu paper, a medium Chu paper is only five yuan, a high-quality Chu paper is only ten yuan, that is, each person can only buy five medium Chu paper or one high-quality Chu paper, the daily limit Sold five hundred copies."

The young man was a little surprised when he heard about it, "The price is not expensive, but the supply cannot be fully supplied? Insufficient production?"

"That's right, that's what people say." The young man nodded quickly, "According to me, if the production is insufficient, we should send more people! For such a profitable business, you should earn more."

"Ah Jun, money is very important, but more is not better." Seeing his younger brother, the young man said, "Then tell me, is Chu Zhi's price too low?"

"That's right, since so many people want to buy it, wouldn't she be able to make a lot more money by setting a higher price?" The boy replied without thinking.

The young man sighed and shook his head slightly. The young lady of Chengyan Gong’s family could make Chu paper at the age of 12, and Ah Jun was [-], but he was still a naughty boy. It seemed that there was still too little homework.

On the contrary, the young lady of Chengyan Gong's family, she has learned a lot, she is smart and quick-witted since childhood, and now she has made Chu paper, her reputation is getting better day by day, she doesn't know what such a talented girl looks like, if there is a chance, I would like to meet of.
