This was indeed a bolt out of the blue.
The reason why Fuhe Paper Mill could stand tall in Yue Country was greatly due to its royal trade status.
They didn't earn much money from the Royal Family each year, but this royal trade status was like a guarantee of the quality of Fuhe Paper Mill's products from the Royal Family itself. Naturally, other merchants would follow suit.
Moreover, because this paper was approved by the Royal Family, scholars and literati from all over the place would naturally follow the trend to buy it.
If they were to lose this status, it wouldn't be simply a matter of losing one royal transaction. As you can imagine, the paper mill would certainly have a hard time for a long time to come!
No wonder Zhan Xi was so anxious.
Su Luo remained composed and let Qing Yi show Zhan Xi to a seat, then said, "We had all this figured out before, how can there be a sudden change? Don't worry, take your time and explain."
