"Now that the silk quilts had been successfully made, the next thing the silk farm had to consider was the sales channel."

"Raising silkworms and growing mulberry trees was a costly business. Without Ge Qingyun's investment, Li Zhichen would never have raised silkworms on such a large scale.

Just like the ready - made clothes from the Three Thousand Cloth Workshop, the silk quilts were "luxury goods" in this era, and their target consumers were surely the wealthy of this time."
