Chapter 251: A Special Sense of Joy_1

Speaking of how the money was made, Wang Youbao immediately became excited and said, "In Hecheng County and the towns within it, there are a total of forty rice shops. I had people urgently make forty-one grain rice mills, one of which Daming delivered to you, and the other forty were sold to those rice shops, three hundred taels each."

Three hundred taels each...

An Jing looked skyward: "So expensive, would those rice shops actually buy them?"

Wang Youbao honestly replied, "At first, they weren't willing, but I told them a grain rice mill could last ten or twenty years. Compared to hiring lots of workers to mill rice, it actually comes out cheaper each year. Then, the owners of those rice shops all bought one."

An Jing: "..." It's a good thing that it was sold to the rice shops—if they were sold to farmers' sons, absolutely no one could afford them!
