Never divorce, never stop getting rich

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Princess Yongle kept urging while sitting in the carriage.

Qian Qiansui and his companions still didn't know what was happening.

"what happened?"

After waiting for the carriage to rush into the city, Qian Qiansui asked tentatively.

"The one who just spoke to us was the King of Hengzhou."

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Princess Yongle explained to her:

“It is said that the King of Hengzhou loves wives best, and many families in Hengzhou have been harmed by him. The last time we offered sacrifices to the heavens, when my father was still alive, this man almost caused a big chaos.

He took a fancy to the daughter-in-law of the Earl of Changxin and almost snatched her away in the street. The Earl of Changxin's family was about to fight him to the death.

In the end, it was only through mediation by my father that the matter was finally settled, and we even gave him a daughter of the royal family as a concubine."

There were vassal kings of different surnames in the Tang Kingdom. Qian Qiansui had read about this in a book. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the vassal kings were relatively honest. But during the reign of the previous emperor, that is, after the empress's deceased husband came to power, the vassal kings gradually became more powerful.

The previous emperor was a weak, hesitant and timid person, which eventually led to the unrest among the princes and the emergence of ambitions, causing great trouble for the empress.

But she never thought that she would be involved with this prince. What did this rubbish prince like about her? She could change it.

"He did something wrong, and he had to pay for another woman's lifelong happiness by becoming his concubine."

Qian Qiansui secretly despised her, thinking that the empress deserved to cuckold the late emperor.

"That royal family girl isn't living well after her marriage, and she hasn't sent any news back in recent days."

Princess Yongle was the empress's only child, and she was not raised ignorant of the ways of the world. Before the girl from the royal family got married, she still had contact with her. Now there is no letter from her anymore. Either she has been restricted, or... she is gone.

The carriage was filled with an unspeakable sadness, because of the woman who married far away, and also because of myself who had to struggle in this world where I had no control.

"Madam, it's better not to go out outside recently."

The carriage stopped outside the Duke's Mansion. Princess Yongle looked at Qian Qiansui and said before entering.

After Princess Yongle and her maid entered the Duke's Mansion, Yin Zhu said with fear, "Madam, let's leave quickly."

If we happen to meet that vassal king again, it will be a big disaster.

"Return to the academy."

The sacrifice to heaven is almost over, and the competition is not far away.

The afternoon in early winter is when people are hungry. Peddlers and hawkers who have been busy all morning stop and find a familiar place to have lunch. A few acquaintances sit together and eat and chat. After a short rest, they all go back to work.

As soon as the people in the food store finished their meal and came out, they saw many servants from wealthy families running forward in groups, and then walking back with large and small bags, looking very hurried.

After that, many more people came, but they came back empty-handed and with frustrated looks on their faces.

"Brother Wang, why are you here? Why are you here?" A man who came out of the food store happened to know one of the servants who was walking back dejectedly. They happened to be from the same hometown.

"Xiaohe, so you work nearby."

Seeing an acquaintance, Brother Wang became a little more energetic.

"Isn't your master's family in West City? Why did you come to South City?"

Xiaohe was puzzled, as the two places were very different.

When Brother Wang mentioned this, he felt even more uncomfortable and couldn't help but complain: "It was just these few days that the capital suddenly started selling a kind of toilet paper.

The texture is soft and snow-white, with a faint fragrance. At first, the ladies just tried it out, but who knew that they would become inseparable from it once they started using it. Just the other day, they asked me to buy it again.

But the item is so in short supply that I haven’t been able to get in line for three days in a row, and I didn’t buy it today. I’m afraid I’ll get beaten when I go back.”

"White paper?" Xiaohe said in surprise.

It’s not that there is no toilet paper in the capital, but it’s all rough yellow straw paper, which is something only officials and wealthy people can use. It’s very rare.

As for white paper, it has always been a precious item placed on the desk for people to use ink, so how could it be used to make toilet paper?

"Of course, these papers are rolled up and wrapped in patterned paper. When you open them, you can smell a fragrance.

I'll only buy it this time, and next time I'll have to come back in the morning. Worst case scenario, I'll just stay up at night." Brother Wang said angrily.

As these people were talking, a group of people ran by, seemingly in a hurry to buy paper. Unfortunately, like Brother Wang, they all returned disappointed.

"What kind of store is this? They only have so much stuff and they sold out just before noon and closed down. Is this going to keep them open for business?"

"They said this is a trial run, so the quantity is limited. And the price is only slightly more expensive than the yellow straw paper. Even if they had more, it wouldn't be enough for us to buy.

You see, not many people know about this. Once more people know about it, we probably won’t even be able to squeeze through the door.”

"I'll come and queue up at dawn tomorrow. I want to be the first to buy it."

While waiting for those people to leave, Xiaohe immediately looked at Brother Wang. Brother Wang didn't say that the paper was so cheap just now.

"Well, I'm leaving first." Brother Wang didn't dare to look him in the eye and ran away.

Xiao He thought about it, and pulled his companions forward to look for each store one by one, and then they saw an inconspicuous store.

The door of the shop was closed, but the plaque clearly read: Conscience Paper Industry.

The fragrant and snow-white toilet paper has once again made Panshi Academy the center of attention as the Beijing competition approaches, simply because all the toilets in Panshi Academy have been equipped with this kind of toilet paper.

Even after the weekly exams, students with high rankings can receive rewards from the academy, including two rolls of toilet paper and a calligraphy practice book.

Paper is expensive in Tang State, and Panshi Academy’s generous investment has attracted people’s attention.

Unexpectedly, the price of toilet paper is not only only slightly more expensive than yellow straw paper, but even the price of paper in calligraphy books is half of the current price of Xuan paper. Moreover, the paper is more uniform and tougher, and it feels smooth and soft, like silk.

Conscience Paper lived up to its name and became popular all over the capital. Even though the daily quantity was limited, it was always crowded with people, and everyone was proud to be able to buy paper from this company.

Especially the ladies from wealthy families, if their homes did not have scented toilet paper and the limited edition Twelve Flower Gods paper sticks from Conscience Paper, they would feel embarrassed to invite their friends to their homes.

In the past, only wealthy families could afford yellow straw paper, but now those who still use yellow straw paper will be laughed at behind their backs for being vulgar and tasteless.

"Madam, our stock is really not enough. Why don't we take the stock from the academy?" Ever since Mao Dong handed over his brothers to the academy, he became Dumbledore's number one fan.

He really wanted Dumbledore to accept him as his apprentice, but unfortunately Dumbledore was not interested in that at the moment, so he arranged for him to deliver goods and run errands for the paper industry.

"No, this is the current quantity. Let's wait until the competition is over." Qian Qiansui currently has only one R&D team, and the products currently produced are all products of the R&D process.

Once the R&D is completed, the R&D team can bring in new workers and expand production.

Therefore, the most important thing now is the upcoming competition among the five schools.
