Chapter 798
Emperor Chu would never have imagined that in addition to refined salt, the Tang Dynasty also prepared fine silk as a backup.
Soon after, the Tang Dynasty sent a large number of envoys to various countries in the world with fine silk.
"Let me go! The texture of this silk is so good, and the price is only 30% off the market price?"
"Wait! What did you just say? All these silks are produced by your Tang Ning family? Ning family, that is your Tang Dynasty's century-old brand! No wonder the quality of these silks is so high-quality!"
"I bought it, I bought it, damn Dachu, if he dares to stop me from making money, I will fall out with him!"
When the monarchs of various countries saw the fine silks of the Tang Dynasty, they were as excited as if they had been given blood.
Although there are many silk merchants in various countries, the production speed of silk is extremely slow. Most of these silks flow into the royal family, and there are almost only a handful of silks that can be seen on the market.
The most important thing is that Datang silk is not only large in quantity, but also cheap.
Money can make all the difference. Driven by profit, all countries in the world placed large orders with Datang.
The major monarchs were not stupid. They had carefully calculated that as long as they had enough silk, they could make a huge profit from it, even if the profit was lower than that of salt.

What excites them most is that the price of refined salt is high and the audience is not large, but the price of silk is not much cheaper than the price of refined salt.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and countless people are buying silk to make new clothes at this time. As long as the market is big enough, the ultimate profit from silk will probably not be lower than that from good refined salt.
With the support of the Tang Emperor, the Ningjia production plant in the capital continued to expand. Coupled with the pedal loom invented by Tang Yu, a large amount of fine silk was produced by the Ningjia every night.
"Did I hear you correctly? The royal family actually released silk to the market again?"
As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked, and countless people were stunned. I don't know how many people couldn't believe their ears.
In the eyes of many people, silk can only be worn by princes and nobles. Even if they are rich and do not have absolute status, they can't even think of wearing clothes made of silk.
"That's right! The silk technology of the Tang Dynasty has made a major breakthrough. Our royal family has ordered a large amount of high-quality silk. Now almost all of this silk has been put into the market!"
"I'm going! It turns out the news is true, hurry up, go buy silk!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up, or else we'll be late and there won't be any horses left!"
After it was confirmed that the silk would be put on the market, a large number of residents from all over the world rioted and countless people rushed towards the official stores. The first batch of silk ordered by each country was sold out in less than half an hour.
The people who got it were complacent, and the people who couldn't get it were beating their feet and chests. The New Year is about to come, who doesn't want to dress more glamorously?
"It's selling like crazy! Your Majesty, it's selling like crazy again!"
At this moment, Emperor Qi was reviewing the memorial, and an old eunuch rushed over happily.
When Emperor Qi heard this, he put down his brush in shock and said, "Selling like crazy? Selling like crazy so quickly?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! The price of silk is low. Unlike refined salt, many people cannot afford it. The silk was sold out in less than half an hour after it was put in!" the old eunuch said hurriedly.
"Okay! That's great!"
Emperor Qi knew that silk had a wide audience, so he said pleasantly: "With this silk, we, the Northern Qi royal family, will definitely be able to make money this time. Please pass on my decree and quickly place an order for 10 million pieces of silk to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the old eunuch responded excitedly.
Except for Northern Qi, the other countries also responded violently.
Emperor Xia and Emperor Han were in high spirits, and they placed a large number of orders with Datang, hoping to make a fortune.
