Wen Jian talked to Ji Sang about the profit from the paper business today when they were having dinner.

  Ji Sang was about to ask, but when he heard him, he immediately listened attentively with great interest.

  Wen Jian said, "I didn't sell paper at the market, but took the paper to the private school, and gave the bamboo slips I had copied before to the teacher. When the teacher saw the paper I brought, he was surprised and asked me if it was paper in my hand. I told him yes. He immediately became interested and said he wanted to take a look. Guess what the teacher said?"

  Ji Sang listened carefully and asked, "What did he say?"

  Wen Jian looked into Ji Sang's eyes.

  Ji Sang's black eyes were clear and pure, like the warm morning in winter. Although his eyes were clear and pure, they inexplicably made people think of the four words "bewitching".

  Wen Jian sighed slightly, took a deep breath and didn't keep the secret, and continued:

  "Master, you are well-informed. You have only seen this kind of paper in the homes of dignitaries. However, the paper I sell is not so white and the surface is not so delicate. He wielded his brush on the spot, wrote a few words, and praised it again, but it didn't hinder him from writing at all. I was still thinking about how to sell the paper, but Master actually bought it all, and said that if there is more next time, I will tell him again." "

  This paper is much lighter than bamboo slips."

  "He likes it very much."

  Wen Jian finished speaking, and took out a copper coin from his body and handed it to Ji Sang: "These are the silver coins he gave me." He frowned and thought for a while, then took out another copper coin from the other side and handed it over, "These are what I earned from copying books."

  So it means a lot.

  Of course it's a lot!

  Wen Zheng sold firewood for an entire afternoon, but only earned five or six copper coins. This string of copper coins was equivalent to one or two taels of silver. To put it bluntly, it was almost enough for their family to spend for several months.

  Ji Sang's eyes were bright and she was very happy. She remembered that it was recorded in history books that paper first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. These papers were quite rough, and the main raw materials were hemp and silk floss. The surface was quite uneven, and it was painful to even use them to make toilet paper. From what Wen Jian said just now, paper actually already existed.

  But paper was too expensive, and it was probably only used by dignitaries.

  The raw materials for the paper she produced this time were very cheap, and the most important investment was manpower. She had never expected such a good effect. However, she had to think carefully about how to further improve the process.

  Paper, this thing, has a lot of uses.

  She was so absorbed in her thoughts that a big hand suddenly appeared in front of her, and Wen Jian handed all the copper coins to her.

  "For you."

  "Uh, what are you doing for me?"

  Ji Sang suddenly looked at Wen Zheng and Wen Lishi.

  The two of them looked at Ji Sang and looked at each other again.

  Ji Sang was silent for a while, stretched out his hand and gave half of the copper coin to Wen Lishi, and immediately said: "Mom, since Wen Jian and I have already started a family, we will hand over part of the money we eat and drink at home to improve the family's meals, and the rest of the money... will be kept for Wen Jian to study."
