Chapter 48 Notice
In the next few days, Yu Hao spent time in the manor urging the two departments to increase production, while the important task of decorating the store was given to Lu Xiaoxiao.
Li Shihan is also training the selected shopkeepers and shopping guides day and night.
Finally, the day for the store opening came. Before dawn, the Korean soldiers led three squadrons of guards to escort the cloth and rice paper to each store.
At the same time, Li Feng followed the agreement and posted notices on various arteries and gates of Wudu City.
Every time a notice was posted in Jianguo Temple, there was either a repeat offender or a new decree issued by the court. For a while, the people passing by gathered around the notice.
"There are so many words on it, what are they written on?"
"Is it possible that there is a reward for some criminal thief, flower thief or something?"
The people looked left and right at the notice, but none of them could read and had no idea what was written on it.
At this time, a scholar squeezed in: "If you can't read, just stand aside and let me read it to you."
"The Haoyue Store opens with a big reward. The Haoyue Store opens today. Linen is 200 coins per bolt, cotton is 500 coins per bolt, and satin is 30 taels of silver per bolt. Limited supply!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
" Linen cloth is only 200 yuan a piece, which is cheaper than coarse cloth. Are you kidding me? You are not a liar, are you?" A man grabbed the scholar who was reading the notice and said fiercely.
"Why did I lie to you? The linen cloth written on it is 200 yuan per piece!" The scholar felt aggrieved and said tremblingly.
At this moment, a disguised guard squeezed in: "Don't you know, this Haoyue store was opened by the current consort Yu Haoyu. He just wants us people to wear cheap clothes, so he opened it."
Selling the cloth so cheaply."
"Master Yu? Is he the Master Yu from Haoyue Textile Factory? Then I believe it. My second aunt works in Haoyue Textile Factory. She told me that Master Yu is a good man who doesn't want to see the people suffering!" Another
The guard looked so moved that he shed tears.
The two sang in harmony, and the people present immediately believed what the notice said.
"Brother, where is the Haoyue store you are talking about?" some people asked.
"I know, I'll take you there!" The guard smiled and walked towards the nearest store, and the people followed him.
The same plot happens at every notice point. Ordinary people are attracted by the low-priced cloth and want to see if it is true.
The scholars and the maids and servants of various government offices noticed the last sentence of the notice: Haoyue Store has imperial paper shelves, the quantity is limited, first come first served!
Nowadays, the name of Imperial Paper has spread throughout Wudu City.
It is said that a few days ago, a batch of crystal clear and as thin paper as cicada wings suddenly appeared in the palace. It was said that it was tribute from foreign countries and was called rice paper.
The emperor immediately used rice paper to draw a picture. The tiger in the painting was vivid and majestic. The emperor was overjoyed and ordered all the civil and military officials to enter the palace immediately and distributed the rice paper among them.
All civil and military officials were amazed after receiving the rice paper. They never thought that there was paper of such quality in the world. They all felt like they had found a treasure and took it home and placed it in front of their desks.
After receiving the news, many literary gentry did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to see the true appearance of rice paper. As rice paper became more and more famous, rice paper also gained a name - imperial paper.
There was an upsurge in the literary world of Wuducheng, and rice paper became a treasure coveted by countless readers.
It's a pity that the rice paper rewarded by the emperor has been treasured by civil and military officials and is not easily shown to others. There is no trace of rice paper on the market.
Many scholars only hear its name but don’t know its details.
But now imperial paper is actually sold in Haoyue store?
For a moment, all the scholars present went crazy, and the maids and servants also ran back to the mansion one after another, wanting to report the news to their masters.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Holding a notice in his hand, Changsun Lang hurried into Changsunxiao's dormitory and shouted: "Dad, it's bad, Haoyue Store is open!"
"You're in a hurry, but you don't look like a prime minister with a long history. What do you mean, something has opened?"
Changsun Xiao had just woken up and hadn't even put on his clothes yet. Seeing his son's hurried look, he immediately frowned.
"Haoyue Store! It's Yu Haoyue's store!"
"Yu Hao's shop? Where did he come from? Didn't I ask you to stop him from selling the shop?" Changsun Xiao was startled, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
"I stopped him. Who knows where he got the store from, but he actually opened eighteen stores! And they also sold cloth at a low price. Linen cloth only cost 200 fen, and cotton cloth only 500 fen!"
"What? Impossible! This is not even enough for the capital, and he will die at a loss. How can it be so cheap?"
"Dad, it's all true. This is the notice from Jianguo Temple. Look!" Changsun Lang said and handed the notice in his hand to Changsun Xiao.
Changsun smiled and snatched the notice away, his eyes widening as he looked at it.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Previously, Yu Hao was already losing money by selling the cloth at 70% of the market price.
According to Zhang Sunxiao's prediction, Yu Hao has already lost almost all his money. How can he lower the price again at this time?
But this notice was issued by Jianguo Temple. Although I don’t know why Jianguo Temple helped Yu Hao issue the notice, it is definitely true.
Such cheap cloth is enough to leverage the entire cloth market in Wudu City. By then, not only will they not be able to sell a single piece of cloth, but even the cloth they received from Yu Hao will be smashed into his hands.
Could it be that Yu Hao was about to go bankrupt, so he sold his goods at a low price?
But he opened eighteen stores in a row, and he didn't look like he was about to go bankrupt at all!
Suddenly, Zhang Sunxiao realized something and was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"The emperor must have allocated funds to Yu Hao, so that Yu Hao could sell at a loss so unscrupulously. After all our cloth business was crushed, he would raise the price. By then, the entire cloth business in Wudu City would belong to the royal family.
."
Changsun said with a smile, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he was extremely sure of his thoughts.
Yu Haoneng has been losing money like this and suddenly opened eighteen stores. Without the help of the royal family, he would not believe it even to death.
In addition, Yu Hao had previously claimed to be serving the emperor's orders, so the person behind this Haoyue Textile Factory must not be Yu Hao, but Emperor Zhu Song!
As expected, Zhu Song's city should not be underestimated, and this move caught him off guard.
But the treasury is empty, how much money can Zhu Song spend?
The wealth that eldest Sun Xiao has accumulated over these years is beyond Zhu Song's imagination. If we have to fight a protracted war, eldest Sun Xiao is not afraid at all!
"Humph, since Your Majesty wants to play, then I will have a good time with Your Majesty. I want to see how much money Your Majesty has to lose like this!"
If Yu Hao were here, he would definitely laugh out loud. He would never have thought that Changsun Xiao would associate this matter with Zhu Song.
What Changsunxiao didn't know was that not only did Yu Hao not lose a penny, he also made a profit, and this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Song.
"Dad, stop talking to yourself there! Look at the last line!" Chang Sun Lang was speechless when he saw Chang Sun Xiao's proud look.
Changsunxiao finally came back to his senses and continued to read the notice in his hand. When he saw that Haoyue Store had imperial paper for sale, his eyes widened as big as eggs, and his face was full of disbelief.
