 Chapter 445 Not to be Underestimated

Zhang Yang was responsible for keeping the accounts, so he knew exactly how much was sold.

He originally came to pay his respects to Ye Muyu but unexpectedly heard this which greatly shocked him. Looking at the gentle-faced, elegantly spoken, and methodical lady, he felt a jolt in his heart.

He realized how capable she was.

He knew roughly how much money there was because he kept the accounts. But just now, the lady seemed to have only glanced at the bookshelf.

She didn't even use an abacus. Was she... doing mental arithmetic?

Zhang Yang was even more shocked and dared not think about what exactly had happened. He approached cautiously, bowing respectfully, "Madam, I've finished my tasks."

"Is there anything you need to ask, Madam?" he asked.

"It's nothing. I just came to check on the business situation. It seems business is good." Ye Muyu smiled, appearing very amiable.

After Zhang Yang's earlier speculation, he dared not underestimate her in the slightest. With such skills, even a woman should not be underestimated.

Moreover, she was a literati's wife.

"In response to Madam, it's the master and Madam who are considerate. As for these test papers, basically, as long as I say what they are, many students are willing to buy them." Zhang Yang replied respectfully.

"What are your plans for ordering more test papers and books from the bookstore?" Ye Muyu asked calmly.

Zhang Yang became serious instantly, "Madam, I've considered this. If the students are willing to buy, they will first pay a deposit of one hundred wen. After the test papers are obtained from the bookstore in two days, they can buy them for one hundred wen less."

"This way, we can determine the approximate quantity and avoid printing too many, which would be difficult to sell in the shop."

Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu nodded lightly. Zhang Yang seemed to be an experienced shopkeeper, accurate in controlling the stock. He was indeed a talented individual.

"That's good. Do as you said but act quickly. It's best to sign a contract with the bookstore to ensure that there are no problems in the future." Ye Muyu advised.

"That's no problem. The bookstore also needs to make money to support itself. Since it's under the government's control, it receives a monthly quota for printing books." Zhang Yang explained.

Ye Muyu didn't say anything more and just observed how Zhang Yan handled things.

"That's fine. Keep the accounts in order."

Some of the book accounts needed to be settled with the students and Director Zhang.

Ye Muyu naturally didn't want any falsification in the books by her subordinates.

Zhang Yang nodded quickly and agreed.

Without lingering, Ye Muyu turned and left the bookstore, getting into the carriage and leaving.

"Madam, let me take you back first, then I'll go to the county to pick up the master." Luchuan offered.

Ye Muyu thought that she only had the carriage today, as the donkey cart was at home, so she could only go back first. Luchuan's suggestion was agreed upon with a nod.

"Madam, you were really impressive just now with the accounting." Hu Shi, who was embroidering a sachet, said. Although she had essential oils made by Ye Muyu, she felt that the sachet was very precious, requiring a lot of fresh flowers to make and was very delicate. It was probably used in large households, placed in the bathtub during bathing.

Sachets were used by the general public, so she would make more in her spare time.

Ye Muyu smiled lightly, "It's just to intimidate Zhang Yang. After all, the interests of this bookstore will involve many people in the future, so the shopkeeper must be loyal, otherwise, there will be endless trouble."

"Madam is mainly afraid of trouble." Hu Shi said with a smile upon hearing this.

Ye Muyu didn't deny it. Any student who could pass the imperial examinations and become a jinshi or juren, not to mention that the articles she was currently producing would rise with the tide at that time.
