Yang Wenxiao was thoroughly impressed with Qiao Xiaomai's ability to make money.
It was a deep admiration that bordered on reverence.
A simple toy made of wood had raked in a million taels of silver for Jiwei Residence.
This was after Yu Ang initially misjudged people's purchasing power. If there were 5,000 more carts, they could have raked in two million taels silver.
Two million taels silver, that's roughly the annual fiscal revenue of a prefecture.
Had Qiao Xiaomai displayed such a capacity for amassing wealth before her marriage to Tong Sanlang, he would definitely have interfered by issuing a royal decree for her marriage: giving Qiao Xiaomai to Yang Ye.
At that time, he thought Qiao Xiaomai's only talent beyond the ordinary was in her culinary gifts, little did he know she could cause a stir in other areas as well.
Little carts, heated kang beds, both fun and practical.
