Chapter 529: Heart Surging
Many readers in the store were stunned when they heard the news.
"papermaking?"
“Is paper so much cheaper?”
"Mrs. Su is so amazing!"
The scholars in the store couldn't believe what they heard.
But when I went forward to look at the papers that had just been laid out, I found that they were indeed a little different.
"Can I take a look?"
Everyone asked carefully, and if the shopkeeper didn't allow it, they couldn't touch anything in the store at will.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Of course, everyone can take a look at these papers. They are tough and easy to write on, and they smell nice."
The scholars reached out to touch the paper and observed it, and they indeed felt something different.
Such good paper, and the price is so cheap.
Many people feel nervous just hearing the price of paper.
"Is it really that cheap? Will the price of paper be this cheap in the future?"
No one could believe it.
The price of paper suddenly became so much cheaper, which made everyone excited but also felt unreal.
For poor scholars, this is really exciting news.
If paper were cheaper, they would all be able to afford paper in the future and could write more articles on it.
They can even copy down some good books by hand.
The shopkeeper said, "I'm sure the price is still this price. We are here to make it easier for everyone to study."
"Lord Su and Madam Su just want to do something practical for Hezhou."
"Look, isn't the reason why Lord Su opened the academy to help more people afford education?"
"And that library, it also contains many books collected by Lord Su and Madam Su..."
The shopkeeper felt very proud when he talked about it.
That's his boss.
The boss is so amazing that he can even make paper.
He admires them all very much.
Soon, the news that the paper in Hezhou was cheap and was developed by Lord Su’s wife spread throughout Hezhou at an extremely fast speed.
Many businessmen saw the business opportunity and came to the store to buy paper, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity before other states got the news.
They bought paper and sold it in other states.
But the store has limited sales and does not allow people to buy a lot of paper at once.
Moreover, students of Wende College have the priority to buy paper.
Shen Yueyao was worried that some businessmen would buy paper at a low price and sell it at a high price in other states.
The money earned that way is still from the scholars.
Therefore, Shen Yueyao is sold in limited quantities.
Paper is produced in the workshop every day.
Shen Yueyao asked someone to store it in the warehouse first.
Even Su Xueyi came to the workshop in person to see the paper produced there.
Even he couldn't hide his excitement when touching such paper.
On that day, Su Xueyi packed a piece of paper and wrote a memorial, which she sent directly to the capital city at full speed.
Soon these papers and such memorials arrived on the emperor's desk.
The emperor looked at the contents of the memorial, then at the paper Su Xueyi presented. He stood up excitedly and said repeatedly, "Good, good!"
"I never thought that Lady Shen could create high-quality and low-cost paper. This way, more scholars in our Great Yan Dynasty will be able to afford to read."
The emperor wanted to applaud.
He was so excited that his heart was pounding.
As expected, it still depends on Xue Yi and his wife.
They had been in Hezhou for a short time but had brought about great changes to Hezhou.
He also personally established a college and invited Mr. Qiao to teach.
The emperor couldn't help but pick up the pen and write a few words on the paper. He found that the quality of the paper was very good, easy to write on, and did not smudge.
There is also a light fragrance that is refreshing.
Even the emperor couldn't let go of this kind of paper.
