I bring the system to tease Shihuang to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 49 Fads and Profit

The first batch of goods produced by the paper workshop was delivered to Li Si.

He led his men to make a printed word template successfully.

So one book after another was printed on paper.

The bookstore that Zhao Jun had prepared for a long time finally opened.

If ordinary people had the impression of papermaking before, it was a handicraft workshop that could make money.

But now after the bookstore opened, they really understood the meaning of paper.

"I, did I hear you right, a piece of paper like this only costs three dollars?"

The one who spoke was the boy who was the first to walk into the store.

The young man is young and speaks in a gentle manner, like a scholar.

He was just curious about this paper, and he heard that it was for people to write on.

With a disturbed mood, I plan to come to have an eye addiction.

But I didn't expect the price of this kind of inferior paper to be so cheap.

There are also some characters written on this kind of paper as an example, and he thinks it is really beautiful when he sees it.

Who would have thought that the price would be so cheap.

He was excited, and when he turned his head, he saw the thing that was placed in the innermost compartment.

It can be seen that it is also paper, but the eyes are completely different, it is white.

The words written on it no longer look like words, but a painting by a famous artist.

"That's paper too. What's the price?" the boy asked excitedly.

"That is the best white paper, and the price is one gold."

The store manager didn't mean to look down on him, but just stated the price honestly.

To be honest, he himself finds it incredible that the difference between these two kinds of paper is too great.

"So expensive!"

The young man also found it incredible, but seeing that snow-white appearance, it was really worth it.

But it doesn't matter, he still has paper to buy.

"Then please bring me five pieces of paper."

"Okay, as the first customer of this store, you can get a brush for free."

The store manager took out the prepared brush and gave it to him.

"Really, thank you very much."

The boy was very happy to see that he got a writing brush for free. He usually writes with branches or other animal hairs, and he has never used such a good brush.

The boy was satisfied with the purchase and walked out happily.

Seeing his happy face, the people outside the door also asked him curiously, and they all rushed into the store when they heard him say that the paper was so cheap.

"What is this?"

The uncle, who also followed the crowd to watch the excitement, pointed to the things on the other shelf and asked.

Someone heard his question and turned to look over there.

"This, this is a new product in our store. It is bound with so much paper, and there are words in it for children's enlightenment."

The shopkeeper went over there and replied.

"This is what our store mainly sells, enlightenment books, such a set only needs [-] pieces."

He took out one of the books and unfolded it for others to see. There were black square characters inside.

"It only costs [-] bucks, which is also very cheap."

When the person next to him heard about it, he couldn't wait to take out the money and bought a copy.

The old man who asked at the beginning was a little tempted when he heard that it would cost twenty dollars. Cheap is cheap, but there is always food at home.

"No, why are you hesitating? The price is not expensive, and it is bought to enlighten children. If you think about it, if children can read in the future, how great it would be."

An old lady from the talker came out and quickly bought a copy.

"Let me tell you, my sister made this in that workshop, and it costs [-] yuan a month. I heard from her that she bought it a long time ago, and she will let her children study in the future." |
The aunt said with a smile, and walked out happily holding the book.

The uncle next to her thought it made sense to hear what she said.

When everyone else has read it, then his little grandson will be left behind.

Buy, must buy.

Soon the small bookstore was surrounded by water.

"Everyone, don't worry and don't grab it. The workshop is producing it every day, so everyone can buy it."

Soon there was a wave of buying paper and books in Xianyang.

The sale of paper outside is in full swing, and Zhao Jun is not idle here.

The bamboo slips in Tukang's room almost suffocated Zhao Jun to death.

Now that the amount of paper production has increased, she brought the entire Neishi Mansion to transfer all the contents on the bamboo slips to paper.

In an instant the room was much empty.

Modern companies have begun to advocate paperless office, and she has just started to have paper office.

Not only Neishifu, but many people in the court were like them. The heavy and old bamboo slips were all thrown away and replaced with new and light white paper.

This is also a congratulatory gift from Zhao Jun to the ministers after the official production of the paper workshop.

This month, Xianyang City has been unprecedentedly lively, and everyone's mouths are talking about paper.

Those who work in paper workshops are even more envied.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

It's finally time to check and accept the results of this month.

"Qingliu, go and call Bai Zhangling, the proceeds from the bookstore have arrived, let him come and order."

In the morning, the people in the bookstore brought over this month's accounts, along with this month's income.

"Sir, look for me."

Bai Fang walked in and saluted respectfully.

This month, Jun Zhao also sorted out his tax information and taught him a very convenient form.

He has a better understanding of this lord, and he admires him from the bottom of his heart.

"Bai Zhangling is here, look at this, it is the income of the bookstore this month, this is the report, you can check it to see if it is correct, and then deduct the tax that you should collect, the rest is the near profit .”

Zhao Jun pointed to the box next to it and asked Bai Fang to open it.

Hey, there's some gold in a box of money!

Bai Fang has managed taxes for so many years and has seen a lot of money.

But I have never seen so much profit in just one month.

He was stunned for a moment, then turned his face, counted professionally, and carefully looked at the accounts of the previous account.

The bookstore also used the kind of form that Zhao Jun studied, and the results were clear and transparent, and Bai Fang basically checked it out after reading it for a while.

"My lord, I have finished the review here. These are the taxes to be paid, and the rest is last month's profit."

Bai Fang handed the written figures to Zhao Jun, and he took out that part of the tax, and the rest of the figures still shocked him.

Bai Fang was secretly surprised to have earned this amount in such a short month.

"Well, there are so many, but they haven't met my expectations."

Zhao Jun glanced at it, then handed the paper to Qingliu.

"This is the income of the bookstore last month. You can take a look, and then take away the wages that the workshop will spend this month."

Qingliu was also startled when she saw the numbers on the paper.

"My lord, this is the number of workers in the workshop last month, the details to be sent by each person and the price of the raw materials, please take a look."

Qingliu also made a list. She spent most of the time in the workshop this month and was already familiar with the operation of the workshop.

Although Zhao Jun didn't ask for it, she also made a detailed statement.

Zhao Jun was very relieved and took a look at the details, and there was basically no problem.

"Good job, take the money spent, it's time to pay the workers."

Zhao Jun directed her to take away the amount of money on the statement, and the rest was the real income for this month.

Although it didn't meet her expectations, it was still very good.

After Zhao Jun settled the accounts, the workers in the workshop also got their first wages.

Everyone holds the hard-earned wages with happy smiles on their faces.

Those aunts are even worse. It turns out that there are people around who will talk about them.

But the big sales of paper made them envied, and now they received a decent salary.

The value created by this kind of labor and the envy and recognition of others made them feel unprecedented happiness.
