Sir Copperfield, who came from an aristocratic background, knew the value of paper better than ordinary merchants.

It is not just an ordinary commodity, it represents knowledge.

The spread of knowledge depends to a large extent on it.

If this boatload of paper can be transported back to the Huayu Plateau, it will definitely make the scholars of the City of Knowledge steal their scalps.

"I want it, I want it all. Sir Copperfield's eyes turned red again, and he threw aside the personal advice Alan had just given.

Alan always maintained a perfect smile, and did not directly refuse Sir Copperfield, until he calmed down, and he first showed an embarrassed smile before continuing: "This is only half-finished paper, and there are even better things in the back, I suggest that Sir should read it before talking." ”

"Good, good, good!" Ser Copperfield urged, the goods of the Eternal Night were beyond his imagination, and he could not think of anything better.

Alan did not take Sir Copperfield on the third merchant ship, but walked towards the second half of the merchant ship.

Before I could open the hatch, a unique scent came to my face.

The scent was so recognizable that Sir Copperfield immediately called out its name, the scent of ink, the unique smell of the ink used for writing.

If the first half of this merchant ship brought a huge shock to Copperfield, the second half had already stunned him, and he couldn't react for a while, where is this merchant ship, it is simply a library, surrounded by the rich fragrance of ink.

He didn't care about Allen's reaction at all, and pounced again.

"The Othello Myth, the Epic of Elijah, the Fables of Medea, the Poetry of Gulliver, the Bound Mises, Prejudice and Arrogance...... The god of knowledge is above, this is all legendary masterpieces, I have always wanted to read it, but I can't find a way to transcribe it, are these all true?"

"These are corrected versions, which retain the meaning of the original as much as possible, and there are some versions that are too different and controversial, and we take the most popular version, so there is no way to compare the value with the handwritten version, but for learning, it is enough. Alan replied with a smile.

"How?" asked Sir Copperfield.

Surviving the initial shock, Sir Copperfield also discovered another feature of these books.

That is, the size of the handwriting is the same, and the distance between the words is like a ruler, which is very neat and recognizable.

This is a bit unbelievable, how rigorous must the people who transcribed these books be?

to be able to do this.

But he soon discovers that things are definitely not that simple.

For all the books he flipped through were in the same handwriting, as if they had been written by one person.

There are also some books that are repetitive, in duplicate, and there is not a bad half of the words in them.

Unless those successful warlocks personally stepped in, it would never be possible to achieve this level with manpower.

But the one who uses the Warlock as a transcriber to transcribe books is afraid that the Eternal Night Commander is not extravagant to this extent, right?

What's more, there are more than a thousand books in this half-cabin, so how many warlocks will have to be used?

"The quantity of each book does not exceed 500 copies, there are in stock, more than 500 copies, you need to place an order to order, the cycle depends on the amount of goods, the most troublesome is a small batch, if it is a large batch, it is simpler. Alan said.

Sean seconded him for apparently a reason, he had already entered the industry as soon as the Jacob River re-flowed, and in an exaggerated adjective, he had witnessed the growth of the Eternal Night Lord's business and participated in it.

"Five hundred?" said Sir Copperfield, who almost bit his tongue.

When did the book become the farmer's cabbage, and you can talk about it?

You must know that those lord families want to transcribe a book, even if they prepare the paper and ink in advance, they can't do this without ten days and half a month.

With this in mind, Copperfield was even more certain that the Eternal Night Leader must have mastered a method of transcribing books that they didn't know about, otherwise it would not have been possible to produce them in large quantities.

After all, the person who can transcribe books is not a cabbage.

Hundreds of people were sent to transcribe books at the same time, and this kind of grand spectacle seemed to be only seen in the city of knowledge of the Warlock Alliance.

With this bombshell in front, the thirteen ships in the back, although it still brought him a lot of shock, especially in Valesta's hot-selling silk clothing, after some beautiful girls demonstrated, it was more visually impactful, and the delicate skin and silky clothes complemented each other, and it was impossible to distinguish which one was smoother.

But in Sir Copperfield's eyes, they were far less valuable than books.

As a lord and nobleman, Copperfield is well aware of the power of knowledge.

The reason why a lord and nobility can become a lord and nobility is that the inheritance of knowledge plays a crucial role in it.

What is Heritage?

The inheritance of knowledge is the foundation.

Rather, books are the carriers of knowledge, and their importance is self-evident.

It is also said that the Eternal Night Warlord now sells not only paper, but also sets of books.

Sir Copperfield suddenly remembered the young lord's last request, and he said that he was interested in all kinds of solitary books, and by solitary books, he probably meant books that were no longer sold in bulk by the Eternal Night Army.

In addition to this, there was an indescribable fear that permeated Sir Copperfield's heart.

When books and paper become cheap commodities that can be sold casually, and everyone can easily get their hands on them.

What impact will it have on the original knowledge system?

How will it shake the special class of lords and nobles?

But when a large number of books are placed in front of him, will he sell them?

The answer is yes.

It would be a fool not to earn money.

It is true that he is an aristocrat, but he is also a businessman, a merchant on the verge of bankruptcy, and only after he has filled his stomach and supported his family can he have the time and energy to think about such long-term matters.

Besides, he is only at the bottom of the lord and nobles, and it should be the rulers above who need to consider this matter.

"You can choose these goods at will, with a maximum of five carriages, which can be regarded as a sample given to you to persuade your companions, and please keep this list, this is a list of the prices of all goods. Alan handed a thin book of four or five sheets of paper into Copperfield's hands.

Sir Copperfield only glanced at it, and then he held on to it as if he had found it.

The name of this booklet is "List of Wholesale Prices of Bulk Goods of the Eternal Night Army".

It's a vulgar name, but it's easy to understand, and even a farmer with no culture knows what it means after hearing it.

Just like its name, it's easy to see what you want on it.

The product name, the minimum and maximum quantity of purchase, and the corresponding price, etc., there are some special cases, and there are even detailed notes at the back.

Not to mention Sir Copperfield, who was himself educated, and most of the merchants who were not literate could understand it.

On these pieces of paper, there is obviously a kind of university question - statistics.

Sir Copperfield had never seen such a straightforward statistic in the City of Learning.

When he saw Alan pull out a large stack of them, Sir Copperfield's eyes straightened.

Something that is a treasure by yourself, looking at other people's posture, is simply an ordinary daily commodity.

This blow can be imagined.

I wailed wildly in my heart, is this Eternal Night Army Lord really just a new force that has just been established for ten years?

How many good things do they have in their hands? How can they possibly hold so many good things in their hands?

What can be taken out as a commodity is certainly not the best thing in their hands.

But many of these things have broken Sir Copperfield's previous perceptions.

The shock of the waves made Sir Copperfield's heart numb, so that even the joy of receiving the five-carriage merchandise for nothing was not so strong.

Alan didn't know that one of his unintentional actions had caused nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine critical damage to Sir Copperfield's mind, and he thought that his cold reaction was that he was worried that the Eternal Night Leader would cheat them on the price, and added: " Rest assured, this is our unified bulk purchase price, Tong Suo is not deceitful, I don't believe you can go to the plains of Asia Minor to inquire, after you go back, you can roughly convert the grain in your hands, see how many goods can be exchanged, through the flying eagle to send us a book, convenient for us to stock, soon spring, desperate swamp rainy season is coming, food in your hands one more day, one more day depreciation risk, you had better act quickly, moldy food we do not collect, we are not charitable. ”

The Eternal Night Army Leader arranged things to this point, Sir Copperfield really had nothing to say, as long as he obediently cooperated, transported the grain over, and then returned to the Huayu Plateau with his favorite goods, and after making a lot of money, he would honestly deliver the goods needed by the Eternal Night Army Leader back in exchange for more Eternal Night Army Leader goods.

Sir Copperfield had no doubts about whether he would make money.

Just now he had already glanced at the price list given by Allen, and the price on it was not expensive, but cheap.

Excluding transportation costs, as long as there are no accidents on the road, even if it is an empty car running a single trip, they will make a profit without losing money, not to mention how can businessmen run with empty cars.

As long as the goods of the Eternal Night Army can be returned to the Huayu Plateau safely, even if the food they brought this time cannot be sold at a high price, they can still protect their capital, and if they are lucky, they can even make a small profit.

In this case, you said that those grain merchants, will they make a second trip?

There was no need for any words to motivate them, and the merchants would rush here like flies that smelled fish.

When Sir Copperfield returned to Tatar with five carts of goods from the Eternal Night, he caused a stir among the grain merchants.

The whole city was fried.

"We are saved, the Eternal Night Army Leader is not only willing to accept our grain at the market price, but also proposes a better way to trade, barter, you have not seen the goods of the Eternal Night Army, you have not felt the temptation at all, whether it is a noble lord or an ordinary lord There is no way to refuse the goods, I have already thought about it, I want to change half of the porcelain, half of the various books, no, those silk clothes, it is said that they are sold hot in the royal capital, those noble ladies and noble ladies, there is definitely no way to refuse, and they can't give up, but with this bit of food in my hand, I can't eat so many goods, are you willing to partner with me." I think these products sell better together. ”

"Grain loading, hurry up and load the grain, we have to use the fastest speed to facilitate this deal to prevent the Eternal Night Army Leader from changing his mind. ”

"You are too underestimating others, people are now clearly showing the carriage and horses, let us help them open the market of the Huayu Plateau, people are planning to be bigger, they will not be like those small trades, casually change the hexagram, see no, people even brought us a list of prices, indicating that the other party's price will not change easily, let's act with Sir Copperfield, after all, he has just been in contact with the other party, and is more familiar with the situation. ”

"It's also the same reason, let's go, and then go and carefully study the goods of the Eternal Night Army Leader, and see how to match it, the most cost-effective. ”

The gloom clouds of Tatar City had dissipated without a trace.

All the high-spirited grain merchants of the Flower Language Plateau were in high spirits, and the conversation between them was full of fresh words, such as porcelain, books, silk clothing, tea bricks, fast-acting medicines, mountain honey, Andes longbow, and so on.

See how to match it to maximize the benefits.

Thinking long-term, they even began to plan the route after returning to the Huayu Plateau, and explored each other's goals.

If you can avoid each other, try to avoid each other, and if there is really no way to avoid it, then cooperate and bring as few heavy goods as possible.

Fortunately, there are so many good things in the hands of the Eternal Night Commanders that even if many caravans are combined, most of the goods they bring are not the same.

The goal of these grain merchants is very clear, that is, the lords and nobles of the Flower Language Plateau.

Compared with ordinary people, they are the real big consumers.

The positioning of goods such as porcelain and silk clothing is itself a luxury that ordinary people simply cannot afford.

After Sean set the basic tone, this matter was basically left behind, and a professional like Allen would take over next.

Now in the Eternal Night Army, a complete industrial chain has been formed.

Like badge porcelain and silk clothing, there are only a few industries that need to be customized, and more importantly, what the Eternal Night Warlord produces, the merchants will ship and sell.

Because the market is too big, all kinds of goods are in short supply.

Even if the productivity of the Eternal Night Army Lords was increased tenfold, it would not take ten or eight years to feed the dry market of the Plains of Asia Minor, and they would still be in the early stage of market development, and the trading targets were mainly the towns along the Jacob River, and they had not yet had time to set foot in the depths.

Not to mention that the new market of Huayu Plateau is about to be opened now.

The Eternal Night Army leader can't open the new market of Huayu Plateau, and from the perspective of income, it is not particularly significant.

After all, the shipping price is the same, the total amount is here, part of it is on the side of the Flower Language Plateau, and part of it is less on the side of the Plain of Asia Minor, and the total income of the Eternal Night Army Leader has not changed.

But in a strategic sense, it's significant.

Even the farmers who can't read a single word know that eggs should not be put in one basket, otherwise the basket will fall to the ground and all the eggs will break.

Not to mention a military leader.

The Eternal Night Warlord is too close to Princess Regent Sophia, and that's not all good.

If the relationship between the two sides fluctuates, resulting in unsalable goods, it will have a fatal impact on the manufacturing and commerce of the Eternal Night Army, which is in its infancy.

Now that the double line is carried out, no matter which line has a problem, it will not form a fatal impact in a short time, giving them time to react.

And this is just the beginning, if there is a chance, Sean will build more lines.

When the time comes, a complex network of economic relationships will be formed, and these businessmen should not be underestimated, once they have enough resources in their hands, their influence will be enormous.

Sean has already paved the road, and the rest is waiting for the efforts of those grain merchants on the Flower Language Plateau and the fermentation of the market itself.

With the courage of these businessmen to transport grain from the Huayu Plateau thousands of miles in order to double the benefits, they will definitely be able to help the Eternal Night Army Leader open up the new market of the Huayu Plateau. 8)
