Rebirth of the Evil Stepmother and the Four Villainous Children

The two groups met on the road. Upon asking, they found out that they were both going to Dashan Village. They also knew why they were going to Zhou Rongrong, so the two groups traveled together.

In Dashan Village, Boss Li arrived first.

Zhou Rongrong took people to visit the papermaking workshop first. Boss Li and his team were busy. Sheets of paper were being produced quickly by the workers.

While I was happy, I also vaguely felt that a heavy rain was coming. The relationship between the two families has become much closer recently, and I couldn't help but remind them.

"Rongrong, do you know who produced half of the paper for Da Zhou?"

Xie Wuyou actually mentioned this matter to Zhou Rongrong. Half of the paper supply of the Great Zhou Dynasty was produced by the Nangong family in Jiangnan over the past hundred years.

It was this technology that allowed the Nangong family to stand firm for a hundred years in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This special papermaking technology was firmly in the hands of the Nangong family.

From cheap to expensive, all are produced by the Nangong family, which shows the heritage of this century-old family, which is something that a family like Zhou Rongrong cannot compete with.

What's more, there are many officials in the Nangong family. Once this kind of paper is put on sale, with such good quality and low price, it is hard not to attract people from the Nangong family with such a large market share.

Zhou Rongrong was not afraid at all. No matter who was Nangong or Beigong, they made a lot of money and always offended some people, so she said.

"I know, what's there to be afraid of? If one comes, kill one, if two come, kill a pair. Besides, the current emperor is a wise ruler, will he really allow the Nangong family to dominate?

It looks like just paper, but paper is what scholars need most. If it really doesn't work, and you piss me off, I'll just write a big-character poster. I guarantee that everyone in Zhao County will have one, and we'll all get rich together."

This idea is really bad. Boss Li laughed and said, "What a bold idea! What a bold idea! I knew you were not afraid. I was overthinking it. Let's sign the contract."

Zhou Rongrong had already prepared the contract for signing. After the two of them looked at it, Boss Li and Zhou Rongrong signed their names.

Another thing that Boss Li came here for today is that the contract for Ma Fei San is about to expire, and it is exclusive for this year.

He was making too much money. Even though Zhou Rongrong now knew how much Boss Li sold the Ma Fei San for, he had never mentioned raising the price. For this reason, Boss Li naturally wanted to continue the cooperation.

"Rongrong, what do you think of the price of Ma Fei San?"

Zhou Rongrong had already considered this matter. According to the current market price, a bottle of Ma Fei San starts at at least one or two taels of silver. The price of a single pill will naturally be adjusted upwards according to her adjustment.

The market for Ma Fei San is huge. Once it is shipped, it is quickly sold out. But soon Boss Li will no longer have the exclusive right. Anyone can come to her to sign a contract, Zhou Rongrong said.

"The production of Ma Fei San is limited. As the saying goes, things are more valuable when they are scarce. I will increase the production of Ma Fei San, but only half of it. I plan to sell it to you. I still have to give the other half to Doctor Zhao. Mr. Li, how about raising the price by five cents per pill? I will deliver one thousand pills every seven days. How about that?"

The original price was 15 cents per piece, and now it is 20 cents per piece, which is a significant price increase. But Rongrong also said that only half of them have entered the market.

This quantity is still small. Boss Li began to silently calculate Zhou Rongrong's production. One thousand pieces in seven days. According to Zhou Rongrong's production, he is also the biggest earner.

Boss Li's Ma Fei San was not only sold in Da Zhou, but more of it was sent to places like Beimang or other neighboring countries, where the price doubled.

He felt that if Zhou Rongrong didn't have her own caravan, she would have sold the goods herself. Twenty cents was not a loss, so he made the decision immediately.

"Okay, sign the contract. Where is it?"

Zhou Rongrong took out the contract for Ma Fei San from her sleeve and said slowly, "Here."

Boss Li took a quick look and signed the contract. Everything was done. Boss Li pulled Zhou Rongrong aside and said.

"Rongrong, let me ask you something."

Seeing him so mysterious, Zhou Rongrong lowered her voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

Boss Li looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he asked, "That person you rescued at my house before, did he come to see you?"

His son said that King Xiaoyao has disappeared recently, which means he has disappeared in the traditional sense. He has not been seen and no one knows where he has gone. There are many things that need to be discussed with him. The housekeeper of the palace also doesn't know where he has gone.

Zhou Rongrong's eyes rolled around. "Yes, he's there, just ten steps away from you, the one playing with Xiaobai with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth." But Zhou Rongrong didn't dare to say it, as Xie Wuyou's itinerary probably needed to be kept secret, so she shook her head in confusion.

"Why would he come to see me? Seriously, Boss Li, who is that person? Why does it look like he has a high status? Is he some high-ranking official?"

Boss Li turned his head away and said, "He's not a high-ranking official, he just has a very rich family."

Aren’t they rich? The whole Great Zhou belongs to their family.

The two of them were deceiving each other, and Xie Wuyou, who had no idea, watched the chubby little fox come up to play a prank, and knocked Xiaobai upside down, then laughed loudly.

Zhou Rongrong: ....

Boss Li: ...

Xiaobai: No, are you sick?

If I say that this person is the King Xiaoyao of your Great Zhou, would you believe it?

After sending Boss Li away, Zhou Rongrong told Xie Wuyou about this matter, and only then did Zhou Rongrong understand the situation of the Li family.

Boss Li’s eldest son, Li Jing, is a well-known figure in the capital. Li Jing became famous at a young age.

He shone brightly after entering the Imperial College at the age of fifteen, and became the top scholar of the Great Zhou at the age of twenty. Now he works in the Dali Temple, and he is very good at solving cases.

Li Jing is a man known as the Jade-faced Judge. The reason why many people don’t know him is because of the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The appointment of officials to the Dali Temple was kept secret. Firstly, the Dali Temple only dealt with major cases. Secondly, those who could enter the Dali Temple were all geniuses and people close to the emperor.

If everyone knew that this person was from the Dali Temple, they would be afraid that someone would harm the family members. Secondly, they would also be worried that someone would bribe the family members and cause trouble.

Zhou Rongrong understood that this was the principle of confidentiality in high-risk occupations. It turned out that Boss Li was really not a simple person.

Not long after Boss Li left, Mr. Shi arrived with his men, and Zhou Rongrong also took Xie Wuyou to pick them up.

The people in Dashan Village have long been accustomed to the sight of horse-drawn carriages coming in and out every day, especially recently, when even Mr. Zhang from next door has come.

They were all busy with their own things.

Mr. Shi said, "I ran into Lao Li when I came here. Are you here to sign the contract?"

He knew that the Mafeisan contract between Lao Li and Zhou Rongrong was about to expire, so he pulled Zhou Rongrong aside to chat.

"Boss Zhou, did Lao Li sign the Ma Fei San contract with you?"

Zhou Rongrong naturally had nothing to hide, so she nodded.

"Well, there are also bamboo paper ones, all signed, who are those people of Master Shi?"

Master Shi knew what was going on, so he spoke quietly to Zhou Rongrong.

"These people are influential people in the Chamber of Commerce. Lao Li told me that you want to join the Chamber of Commerce. I'm bringing them here today. You have to behave well."
