Chapter 88 How dare you touch my granddaughter
At the same time, Zhang Shuisheng also brought exciting news: the village chief and villagers of Zhangjia Village, after discussion, expressed their willingness to sell their land to Wang Xinyao.
Furthermore, the prices of these plots of land were very affordable, which surprised Wang Xinyao. Among them, fertile farmland cost only 18 taels per mu, while barren land was even cheaper at only 8 taels per mu. These prices were quite reasonable!
However, the villagers made a small request: they hope to have the opportunity to work in Wang Xinyao's farm in the future.
Wang Xinyao readily agreed to the request and quickly reached an agreement with the villagers of Zhangjia Village. She then set about purchasing the 500 mu of land, ultimately spending a total of 6000 taels of silver.
Although this expense may be considered a huge sum of money for most people, Wang Xinyao feels that it is worth it. After all, these lands are important resources for her future development.
As the year drew to a close, a paper storm suddenly swept through the capital. The storm came with great force and swept across the streets and alleys of the capital.
For a time, paper became a hot topic among people. This kind of paper was not only of high quality, but also as white as snow and felt soft and delicate, like silk.
Therefore, whoever could use this kind of writing paper represented that they were a powerful and noble family in the capital; and whoever's daughter could use toilet paper to wipe her mouth represented that she was a more refined noble lady.
In addition, there is an item called "sanitary pads", which has also caused quite a stir among the ladies. Those who can use sanitary pads are naturally the envy of everyone, and everyone privately compares who buys more.
Due to strong market demand, the prices of these paper products have soared.
Toilet paper, which originally cost only 50 wen per pack, is now being sold for 10 liang per pack. Writing paper and sanitary napkins have soared to a staggering 20 liang per pack. The price of all paper has increased by approximately 200 times.
But even so, many people are still willing to buy them. After all, these paper products have become a symbol of identity and status.
At this time, Zhao Yue'er was sitting in the palace, and said to an old man excitedly: "Grandpa, Grandpa, I'm rich, I'm rich!" Her face was filled with a joyful smile, and she was holding a thick stack of silver bills in her hands, her excitement was beyond words.
This old man is Zhao Yue'er's grandfather, Zhao Haoyang Yucheng, the uncle of the current emperor!
When he heard his granddaughter say that she made money, a smile appeared on his face, and he laughed heartily and praised: "Our Yue'er is really amazing, she can actually make money! Hahaha..."
"Thank you, Yue'er!" Zhao Haoyang then said excitedly, "Thank you, Yue'er, for giving me so much writing paper. Now I finally have a chance to beat old man Ouyang!"
This so-called old man Ouyang is actually Ouyang Shu, the father of Prime Minister Ouyang Ming.
Zhao Haoyang and Ouyang Shu studied together in the Imperial College since they were young. Because they were of similar age and had the same interests, they were as close as brothers, but privately neither of them was willing to give in to the other.
But since Ouyang Shu married the most beautiful woman in the capital when he was young and gave birth to a son who became the prime minister, his own son was unremarkable.
In contrast, Zhao Haoyang was always holding his breath, but he was never able to feel proud of himself.
However, a few days ago, Ouyang Shu actually came to him in person and expressed his hope that Zhao Haoyang could give him some writing paper, which made Zhao Haoyang very proud.
He deliberately showed off, which made old man Ouyang Shu so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
At this time, Zhao Yue'er said to Zhao Haoyang proudly, "Grandpa, do you know? The price of the three kinds of paper I sell has increased by two hundred times, and the demand still exceeds the supply!"
Zhao Haoyang was so surprised when he heard this that he couldn't close his mouth. "200 times! Such a high price, then our Yue'er will make a lot of money!"
"Grandpa, I earned all this money with my own hands. This is the first income I've ever had in my life." Zhao Yue'er said proudly, "Dad, Mom, I've finally become a useful person!"
Zhao Feng, Zhao Yue'er's father, has average personal abilities, but because he is the crown prince, he currently serves as the third-rank Minister of Rites.
At this moment, his face was full of doting, and he smiled and nodded in response: "Yes, our Yue'er is indeed a smart and clever child."
"My Yue'er has always been a helpful person!" Mrs. Zhao's face was full of kindness and she smiled happily: "Thank you, our Yue'er, for sending so many good things, not only paper, but also skin care products. Look, my skin has become as smooth as silk!"
"Thank you for the gift, Yue'er. It's so useful!" The three sisters-in-law were in sync and couldn't help but express their gratitude. Not only did the skin care products improve their skin, but the sanitary napkins were especially amazing.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. We're all family!" Zhao Yue'er waved her hand quickly. "These are all thanks to my sister Xinyao. Her products are so excellent. After the New Year, I'll go to her to buy more. I have to get more this time!"
"Xin Yao? Wang Xin Yao from Xiejia Village? The Wang Xin Yao who founded the salt field?" Zhao Feng asked. He had heard this name frequently recently.
"That's right, Dad, it's my sister Xinyao!" Zhao Yue'er's eyes were full of smiles!
Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This woman is really a wonderful person!"
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, sister-in-law, my sister Xinyao not only knows how to make salt and paper, but she is also a miracle doctor. If it weren't for sister Xinyao this time, I'm afraid you would never see me and my child again." When Zhao Yue'er said this, her eyes suddenly turned red. She really almost didn't see her grandpa, dad and other relatives.
"What? What happened?" Zhao Haoyang was furious. "Grandson-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you protect Yue'er?"
Fang Zhiyuan, who had been silent all this time, knelt down with a plop and said, "Grandpa, it's all Zhiyuan's fault. It was Zhiyuan who failed to protect Yue'er!"
"Grandpa, this is not my husband's fault. He went to the shop for something at that time. I was bored and insisted on taking the servants shopping. My husband didn't even know I was out at that time!" Zhao Yue'er said shyly with a rosy face.
"Get up and tell me in detail what happened?" Zhao Haoyang said in a deep voice with a serious expression.
So Fang Zhiyuan and Zhao Yue'er recounted everything that had happened in Ping'an Town before.
"Zhao Yucheng, well done, you are getting more and more promising as you grow up. You even dare to touch my granddaughter! Don't think that I won't do anything to you just because you are a prince. I am still your uncle!" Zhao Haoyang was furious at this time. There were many grandsons in their family, but they only had one granddaughter, Yue'er. She had been well-behaved and smart since she was a child and had always been the apple of his eye.
