"Paper?"
Both Ying Zheng and Wang Ben were stunned, and the latter was startled,""Master Su wants to use those divine items to earn money?”
"What else?"
Su Chen rolled his eyes at him, and Wang Ben shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"No way! This was a divine item that the imperial court and the army needed. They must not use these divine items to earn money!”
"Divine item?"
Su Chen's mouth twitched." I said it was just a pile of hemp paper. Did you really think it was a treasure?"”
At that time, they did not have much manpower and resources. They only used a pile of rotten bark and hemp to make this coarse hemp paper.
It was rough and easy to rot. To put it bluntly, this kind of coarse hemp paper was only suitable for toilet use.
At that time, Su Chen only wanted to use this batch of paper to earn a bucket of gold before making any plans.
Good paper was made from bamboo or high-quality tree pulp.
Only then would the paper be flexible and smooth enough to facilitate writing.
Therefore, in Su Chen's eyes, these coarse hemp papers were really tattered. Otherwise, he would not have generously given them to Ying Zheng that day...
"Chief Su, with paper, it will be much faster and more convenient for the imperial court and the army to send documents, and it won't be easy to lose them.”
" This is a precious treasure," Ying Zheng said slowly." Every piece of this treasure is used up, and it's very precious. Why do you say that, Master Su?"”
During these days, Ying Zheng had already used those papers to deliver documents between the imperial court and various places.
In this way, it greatly saved the manpower and material resources needed to transport the documents. It was very convenient!
Thinking about how documents these days were mostly bulky bamboo slips, and how much time it would take to transport them from all over the world, the advantage of paper was instantly revealed!
Ying Zheng regarded them as treasures, and even sent a large number of soldiers to guard those carriages of paper.
When Su Chen saw the two of them like this, he could not help but shake his head and smile.
"Hahaha…I forgot to tell you that these papers can be remade!”
"It can be recreated?"
Ying Zheng and Wang Ben stood up abruptly and said in disbelief,""Master Su, can those papers be remade?”
"What else?"
Su Chen rolled his eyes at them and said,"
"If it can't be recreated, do you think that these things are born out of thin air? Was there a need to be alarmed over such a small matter?”
"Master Su, isn't this shocking enough?!”
Wang Ben held his head and cried out,
"If it can be recreated, my family can also use paper. Those family heirlooms can finally be preserved in good condition.”
"Family heirloom?"
Su Chen's face was filled with astonishment, while Ying Zheng coughed awkwardly and said,"
"Last time, Master Su slept with that batch of paper. Little Wang brought it home and treasured it. He always wanted to use it but couldn't bear to use it…"
Su Chen: "???"
F * ck!
When this fellow said that he wanted to be a family heirloom, he thought that he was just joking. He did not expect that…
"Cough cough, back to the main topic, Old Zhao, these papers can make a lot of money!”
Su Chen didn't want to pay attention to Wang Ben, who was a fool, so he turned to Ying Zheng and said,"
"If we sell these papers to the nobles at a high price, the money we can earn is immeasurable!”
To the nobles and the royal families of the six dynasties, they had a lot of money and resources in their hands!
If he wanted to sell, he would sell it at a high price. If he wanted to rip it off, he would rip it off ruthlessly. Wouldn't that make him rich?!!
" Hmm, this is indeed a good idea…"
Ying Zheng nodded, then turned to Su Chen and said,"
"Master Su, although the paper is precious, if you sell it at a high price, you might not be able to sell it in large quantities in a short period of time..."
It was not without reason that Ying Zheng thought so. Although paper could replace bamboo slips and animal skins, it had many benefits.
However, it would not be easy to sell a large number of aristocratic families at such a high price.
The aristocratic families were not stupid. Why would they spend so much money to buy something that did not benefit the family?
It was not a problem to buy in small quantities and try new things.
Not many nobles would buy in bulk!
"Therefore, before that, we still need to complete one more thing. Let the aristocratic families rush over like ducks and even buy like crazy!”
With a confident smile on his face, Su Chen bowed to Ying Zheng and Wang Ben.
"It's a long story. Sit down and talk slowly.”
As he spoke, Su Chen looked at Ying Yinman who was burning the fire and said:
"Miss Xiaoman, please boil a pot of hot water on the iron pot.”
Ying Yinman happily agreed,"Little Man will do as you say!"”
"This girl, as her father, she doesn't usually obey me.”
Ying Zheng felt helpless. He sat down, looked at Su Chen and said,""Please speak clearly, Master Su."
"Selling paper is simple. As long as you persuade His Majesty to promote education, it will definitely sold well!”
"Education?"
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. He had thought about this before, but he still had no clear direction as to how to implement it and what to do.
"How do we convince His Majesty? Does Master Su have a way?"
"Old Zhao, before we talk about this, let me ask you a question.”
Su Chen picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for the three of them."How are officials selected in the court now?”
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment. Then, he said," It's mainly about the promotion of military merits, the recommendation of officials, and special conscription.”
"Old Zhao, you are also someone with a high official in your family. I won't treat you as an outsider. Do you think it's appropriate to select officials like this?”
Su Chen looked at Ying Zheng with a smile and said,"
"Or rather, are the officials selected in this way talented enough to serve the court loyally?”
