Everyone was on the Extreme Emperor Battleship, admiring this enormous object.
At this moment, a soldier walked forward."
"My lord, the paper mill has been completed and the first batch of paper has been produced.”
"Oh!"
Luo Chen was overjoyed.
This paper mill was specially built.
The quality of the paper used for construction was definitely not low!
"Fengxiao, let's go and take a look!”
Luo Chen brought Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Xue Rengui and the others to the paper mill.
Zhou Tai stayed on the ship.
Soon, they arrived at the paper mill.
The paper mill was built not far from the dock.
"Greetings, Lord!" Seeing Luo Chen's arrival, the workers immediately went forward and bowed.
"Everyone has worked hard!"
Luo Chen's gaze swept around and was immediately attracted by the papers arranged in the warehouse.
He walked over and took a piece of paper.
The paper was white and had a rough surface. However, its quality was much better than the fire paper produced in the Han Dynasty.
He believed that if he upgraded this paper mill to a high-level, the quality would improve.
"My lord, this paper…"
Guo Jia also took a piece of paper and sniffed it before brushing his fingers across it.
"This paper thread is definitely better than the Xuan paper used in the palace! I didn't expect that the amount of paper in our territory would be so good. If those great clans saw this, they would definitely break their heads to snatch it!”
Guo Jia sighed.
Xue Rengui nodded slightly.
Although Dian Wei didn't know much about paper, he could guess that this piece of paper was definitely extraordinary from the looks of the others 'expressions.
"Yes!" Luo Chen nodded," This paper is indeed not bad. It seems that we need to mass produce it. Let's go back to the territory's square hall and upgrade the paper mill to a high level. The quality of the paper produced will be even better.”
Luo Chen brought a few people back to the City Lord Hall.
He opened the building list. As expected, there was a paper mill blueprint in the building list.
However, upgrading such a special building required ten times more gold coins and materials than upgrading a normal building.
Luo Chen looked at the resources in his territory.
Hmm, barely enough.
This was all thanks to the many resource cards he had obtained during his exploration of Yizhou Island.
To level up from Level 1 to Level 2, he needed two million wood, two million stone, and one million gold coins!
From level two to level three, it would be doubled.
Luo Chen had only upgraded the paper mill to level 3, and the resources of the territory had already been used up.
Upgrading from Level 3 to Level 4 required eight million wood, eight million units of stone, and four million gold coins.
With so many resources, if converted into cash coins, it would be at least five million.
Although this special building was good, it was very resource-hungry.
In his previous life, someone had estimated that if he wanted a county to operate normally and upgrade all the resources and functional buildings to high-level, it would cost at least a few billion real dollars.
Lord mode was not something that ordinary people could afford.
"Fengxiao, the quality of the paper produced in our territory is so high. If we sell it, it will definitely be a sum of money. In your opinion, how should we sell it to those aristocratic families?”Luo Chen asked after upgrading the building.
Luo Yang paper is expensive!
It wasn't just talk.
However, now that he was a wanted criminal, it was not easy to buy paper and open a market.
Hearing Luo Chen's words, Guo Jia said,
My lord, we can cooperate with those big merchants. If they know the quality of the paper in our hands, I believe that they will be very willing to cooperate with us. Guo Jia thought for a moment and said.
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Luo Chen nodded.
Guo Jia was right. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were still many business families.
These nobles controlled many industries. They were extremely resourceful and had established their own sales network.
As long as he cooperated with them, they would be able to quickly open up a market.
At that time, he would only be in charge of production.
"Then, Fengxiao, who do you think we should find to sell these papers?”Luo Chen asked.
Guo Jia thought for a moment and said,
"Among the wealthy merchants of the Central Plains, the Mi Family is the most powerful. The head of the Mi Family, Mi Zhu, is very knowledgeable. Therefore, I think it's a better choice to cooperate with the Mi Family.”
Mi Clan!
Luo Chen rubbed his chin.
He naturally knew about the Mei Family.
It could be said that without Mi Zhu's support, Liu Bei would not even have the money to recruit soldiers.
With Mi Zhu's help, Liu Bei was able to rise rapidly.
At that time, Liu Bei was just a minor historian.
To be able to see through Liu Bei's talent and use it as a political stake, Mi Zhu's judgment was extraordinary.
"Alright, I'll go to Xu Prefecture now and meet this rich Mi Zhu.”
Luo Chen nodded.
He went to the paper mill and stored some of the high-quality paper that had just been made into the system package. Then, he took out the positioning teleportation stone and selected Xu Prefecture City.
In a flash, Luo Chen arrived in Xu Prefecture.
Xuzhou was a place where rich merchants gathered.
Horses and wool from the north, wild ginseng from the northeast, rice from the south, and so on were all traded here.
On the streets, people came and went.
There were NPCs and many players.
There were many players who developed in Xuzhou.
After arriving at Xu Prefecture, Luo Chen inquired about the location of the Mei Residence and headed towards it.
As the number one wealthy merchant in Xu Prefecture, no one knew where the Mi Residence was located.
After walking a few streets, a magnificent manor appeared in front of Luo Chen.
The manor occupied a vast area. In front of the vermilion door, there were two huge stone lions squatting.
A plaque hung on the door: Mi Mansion.
The Mi family had always been a business world, but in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, merchants were not welcomed.
Scholars, farmers, merchants!
The merchant was last.
Therefore, Mi Zhu studied hard and worked hard to make his family a scholarly family.
He also bought an official position for his brother.
Luo Chen took a step forward and arrived at the entrance of the Mei Mansion. Seeing Luo Chen's extraordinary appearance, the guard didn't dare to be negligent and quickly went forward to welcome him.
May I ask why you have come here?
"Oh, please inform your family head that Luo Chen is here.”
"What? Luo Chen!"
The villager was shocked. His mouth was wide open, so wide that an egg could be stuffed into it.
"You are Luo Chen, Luo Yingxiong?”
Luo Chen didn't care about the Zhuang Ding's performance,""Is your family head here?"
He asked again.
"Yes, wait a moment. I'll go in and report to the clan head.”
After that Zhuang Ding finished speaking, he walked in eagerly.
After a while, a person came out from the Mei Mansion.
The person was in his thirties and looked a little rich. He wore a long robe of a Confucian scholar and had a red face. He had an extraordinary aura.
Needless to say, this should be the head of the Mei Family, Mei Zhu.
As expected, Mei Zhu came close and cupped his hands at Luo Chen,""I didn't know Hero Luo had arrived, so I didn't welcome you.”
