I'm the Farmgirl You Can't Mess With

Chapter 1215: Transaction

Since Mingzhu had ordered many newspapers, she ended up distributing a copy each to the eunuchs and palace maids. Even the consorts of the various palaces were not left out. This could be considered the cheapest gift she had ever given anyone.

The Mother Consorts of the four princes didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when they received the gift from the princess. To think their sons had exchanged so much pocket money for a newspaper priced at five copper coins. Fortunately, that was just a trivial sum to them.

Mingzhu had already been convinced by the Empress not to compete with Little An and the others. However, because it was a holiday in the palace today and Mingzhu had been busy with the distribution of The Lily Times, she didn’t get a chance to tell them.

It was inconvenient for Wensu to leave the palace, so he could only move around in the palace and among the imperial family members to strive to get more sponsors.

Little An and the others failed to get Qi Haoran to cough up the money, so they could only go out and continue to think of ways. Unfortunately, Little Treasure and Little Bear weren’t around. Otherwise, they could have borrowed money from the two older brothers.

Tiger Head went back to his room and retrieved a box, then carried it and met up with Little An and Little Lion. After putting their money together, the trio suddenly realized that they had very little money.

Tiger Head shouted, “How is that possible? We receive money from the factory every quarter. Where’s the money?”

While there were already others in Great Qi who could make music boxes, their music boxes were still the most exquisite and pleasant to the ears, so business was not bad. Coupled with the export deal signed with the foreign merchants a long time ago, they earned a considerable sum of money every quarter.

However, the banknotes in Tiger Head’s box were negligible. There was quite a lot of small bits of silver, the total value was not high. There were only about ten silver ingots in the entire box.
