The second option was to join, which was proposed on the basis of patents.”
"There are no walls in this world that are impervious to wind. Moreover, apart from the patents, everything in the Qin family's Yingxue is profitable. No one is so stupid as to not do something that makes money. The six rulers will realize this one day. Even though it will be too late, this won't stop us from earning their money. Joining means that we will set up an organization that is similar to diners. In this organization, we will teach our theories to Great Qin's disciples and let Great Qin's disciples become diners in other countries. If it was given to them for free, they would definitely be suspicious and resist. This was called being despicable. He would not accept it if it was good to him. He would only accept it if he was beaten or scolded.”
Xia Yu's words made everyone's face turn red, including Ying Zheng. Back when Wang Jian was his teacher, he had treated other countries like this many times. To put it nicely, it was goading them, but to put it bluntly, it was despicable.
"We sent our people to their countries to teach our theories. Other than the two functions above, our main purpose is to publicize them. As for collecting money, of course, we have to be ruthless. Just like what I said just now, this actually has the side of taking advantage of the monarch's reputation. Weak countries have no diplomacy. They have the nerve to only give a little?"
"Not only do we have to charge them tuition fees, but we also have to charge them annually. We can't give them the patent rights either. We only give them the right to use the products. To put it bluntly, joining us is like getting something for nothing. It's just that we have an extra net in our hands that they can't refuse. Even if they know they can't do this, they have no choice but to do it.”
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Young Master's trick of getting something out of nothing was very clever!”Wei Liao clapped and praised. He was the only one who praised Xia Yu without a care in the world. When the others heard Xia Yu's words, they all distanced themselves from her. There was nothing he could do. This kid was too black-bellied. Ying Zheng was afraid just thinking about it. If Xia Yu was not his son, he would definitely kill her to prevent future troubles.
" As for the third option, it's even simpler. It's also related to patents. However, it's not only used to target other countries, but also to plunder the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and earn money from them.”
Xia Yu left Ying Zheng and picked up the piece of paper from the ground." What if this thing can be mass-produced?”
"This can be mass-produced?" Although they didn't know that this was called paper, they were still very surprised. This was an epoch-making thing.
"Right now, a gold cart is about 8-11 taels of silver. One tael of silver is equivalent to a string of copper coins, which is 800 copper coins. As for the bamboo slips and cloth used for recording, they often cost hundreds of copper coins. Those made of slightly better materials were estimated to cost two coins. Those specially processed for long-term preservation had to be bought with gold. However, ordinary people could not earn one tael of gold a year, which was why the people were ignorant. This was because they could not afford to read, let alone buy these things to write.”
"The thing in my hand is called paper. It can be used as a hard point to write on, a soft cushion to wipe buttocks, and a piece of bamboo can be used to make hundreds of sheets. The key is that although it is easy to make this thing, it requires a formula and materials. The materials are extremely easy to find and can be found anywhere.”
"But…" Xia Yu changed the topic." As long as you don't see the distribution, even Lu Ban wouldn't be able to make it. It's not because it's difficult, but because it's too simple. The difficult ones are not easy, and the easy ones are not difficult. That's the truth." A pen was relatively more complicated, but it was also more practical than ink, and the manufacturing cost was also lower.”
"Agents are used to serve paper. Paper and pens, as well as everything else in the future, will become a symbol of the Qin family's success in learning. We will sell paper for one coin to the people of Great Qin so that the children of ordinary families can learn and not be illiterate. We will sell ten pieces of paper for one coin to the people. Once they found out, they would immediately confiscate all their assets.”
Xia Yu turned around and looked at Zhao Gao." Father and Lord Li have to deal with political affairs. The two generals have to go on expeditions. Wei Liao has to deal with the sect's affairs. Gongshu Chou needs to create these things for me. So, I'll leave this matter to you, old man. Keep an eye on it. In the future, if anyone oppresses the people, they will be dismissed from their official positions. If they don't, they will be robbed of their wealth. Do you understand?"”
"This servant will obey. Leave this matter to the servants. You are also more clever. You will still stay by my father's side to take care of him and help him share his worries.”
"What about you?" Ying Zheng looked at Xia Yu with a half-smile." You've given me so many instructions, but aren't you going to do it yourself?"”
"Who said that? Come out!" Xia Yu looked around, ignoring Ying Zheng. However, after Ying Zheng coughed twice, he still answered honestly," I am shouldering the heavy responsibility of helping you, Father, to come up with a plan and create the Qin family's Ying School. Besides, I still have to help the two old generals train the army.”
"You know how to do this?" Ying Zheng asked casually, but he looked at the Moon Goddess. Up until now, he had thought that these ideas came from the Yin-Yang School, but if the Yin-Yang School could lead troops to war, things would be different.
"Father, this is recorded in the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book that Master Donghuang gave me.”As he spoke, he glanced at Great Si Ming. Anyway, no one had seen the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, so he was not afraid of being exposed.
How could Ying Zheng not understand? She nodded, indicating for him to continue.
"Let's not talk about the training of the army for now. Let's continue with the acting. Acting as an agent is another way for the officials of the court to earn money. After the land is taken, we can buy paper for them as another way to survive. This way, we can also fully train their diplomatic skills. "So I'll let them sell the paper. How much I give them every month and how much they earn is their business. However, the price can't be lower than what I set. As for how much higher it is, it's up to them. Writing paper was sold to Great Qin's people for one coin, and wiping paper was sold to Great Qin's people for one coin per piece. The other countries did not have to pay a single coin, and the price of writing paper was 100 coins per piece, while wiping paper was 10 coins per piece. As for the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, apart from the Confucians and Mohilists, they were all the same. If these two factions wanted to buy, they had to pay ten times the price of the others. As for those who sold and sold, they were forbidden to buy paper for the rest of their lives. Although it might not be useful, I still want to hate them.”
Everyone present knew very well that the Confucians looked down on business, but this young master wanted to promote business and belittle Confucianism.
Li Si felt a chill run down his spine. Although he was learning the art now, he had studied under the Confucians before. He really didn't know how the Confucians had offended this young master so badly.
If Zhang Liang was here, he would definitely cry out in grief at the injustice of the heavens. He had never seen Xia Yu before, so of course, he would not know that this fellow was simply unhappy because she saw that the Little Saint Manor was more handsome than the previous one.
"Royal Father and Lord Li, please sort out today's things first. We will use Xianyang as a test and carry it out immediately. I will contact Master and ask him and Gongshu Chou to settle the identity card.”
"What about you? Aren't you going to send me off?" Ying Zheng glanced at him.
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back if I go. Besides, every moment of the night is worth thousands of gold. I still have two little girls to pamper.”
"Kid, you'll be a fatuous monarch in the future!”Ying Zheng laughed and scolded.
"Father, if you say anything more about the incompetent ruler, I'll be angry with you! I'm not taking over your position. How can you say that? You'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible. If you have any more ideas about me, I'll hide. I don't believe you can find me!”
Although he had already guessed this outcome, he did not expect that this kid would get angry over this instead of money. Other young masters would fight to the death to inherit the throne, but his own son seemed to be on the verge of becoming the Crown Prince. Thinking back to that day when he had whispered that his ultimate dream was to earn the most money and woo all the beauties in the world, leaving no one else to woo, he could not help but shake his head helplessly.
"Don't blame me for not telling you. Although Zhao Gao is a eunuch, he has an adopted daughter called Zhao Yan in the imperial kitchen. Her beauty is not inferior to the two beside you. I don't know about Teacher Wang Jian, but Meng Wu also has a daughter who is in charge of the etiquette in the palace. Her beauty is not inferior to Zhao Yan's. As for Li Si and Wei Liao, you can ask them yourself at Xianyang Palace.”
Zhao Gao was speechless.
Wang Jian was speechless.
Meng Wu was speechless.
Li Si was speechless.
Wei Liao was speechless.
Looking at Xia Yu, whose eyes were shining, Zhao Gao and the others twitched their mouths. What was going on? The king couldn't coax his son to become the emperor, so he used the daughter of a minister to trick him? Did he have to be so shameless?
