Chapter 18: The Storm of Selling Paper
Li Yu thinks that he is not a saint, and this thing naturally needs to collect money, not to mention that Li Yu, who realized the sense of crisis, decided to make money, a lot of money.
But when it comes to money, the currency of the Qin Dynasty has been unified, but it is still difficult for Li Yu, a modern person who goes out to scan the code, to accept it.
The law of Qin stipulates that gold is the upper currency, and the unit is "eridium" (20 taels or 24 taels); Copper is the lower coin, the unit is "half a tael", and a Qin coin weighs about 20 grams.
How do you understand this?
That is to say, the money bag that goes out is filled with more than 20 copper coins, so the weight of the money bag is less than a pound, if the consumption increases in the future, people will not carry a box out of the house?
Looking at the handy operation of the selected man, a piece of white rice paper was produced, and these rice papers were cut and bound into a booklet with twine, and then sold for copper coins.
The large wooden boxes behind the ledger carried away one after another......
Li Yu couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty still underestimates the private small treasury of the princes and nobles of the empire, a book and paper costs fifty yuan, if it is not for the rich flowing oil, I am afraid that no one will buy it." β
Ying Zheng's face was ugly, and there were already signs of anger.
If today's sales attract Confucian students among the common people, it means that they can afford this price, and it also indirectly indicates that the people are beginning to become rich.
But basically, the children of the official eunuchs come to buy, which explains a lot of problems.
Li Si wanted to speak on the side, but stopped......
Li Yu had no choice but to persuade: "But Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, the deficit in the treasury can't be solved in a day or two."
The merchants of the empire were almost extinct due to the policy, and now His Majesty is slowly opening up the breeding industry and reducing the tax on forced labor.
Within a year, the peasants' incomes will be greatly increased, and now this strategy can only directly see some drawbacks. β
Li Si breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and echoed: "What the prince said is reasonable, Your Majesty, now that the people's livelihood is at the beginning, it is better not to be impatient, the princes and nobles seem to have a strong desire to buy, and I am afraid that there is also a meaning of pleasing the immortal monarch and marquis, let alone a face-to-face conclusion." β
Ying Zheng's eyes glanced at Li Si, but he said in his heart: You Li Si has more than a dozen concubines, and you have used a fleet just to move, do you really think that I am blind?
It's just that if it is decided today, there are many internal and external troubles, and there is no skill.
Ying Zheng dissipated many thoughts in his heart, and suddenly spoke: "The prince's paper mill will be supplied to the common people in the future, and the price will be calculated at parity. β
Parity......
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, but Ying Zheng said angrily: "As long as you can make the servants full, the paper mill of the Governor's Mansion will count you as half red in the future." β
Half of it doesn't seem like much, but it's actually a lot of oil and water, and it's really lying down to make money......
Li Yu understood what Yingzheng meant, and immediately smiled: "Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." β
At the right time, Ying Zheng's face became invisible.
On the contrary, Li Si's eyes were red when he watched from the side, and his breathing became a little short.
Grandma has a leg, and half of the income comes from the princes and nobles of the whole country......
Li Si could only secretly complain that Li Yu had taken shit luck to comfort his young heart.
Li Yugang sent Yingzheng and Li Si away from the back door, and returned to the back hall full of joy.
The buttocks didn't sit and breathe, and Cai Lun suddenly shouted eagerly outside the house: "Master Hou, the door is blocked." β
Li Yu was surprised in his heart, as soon as the first emperor left, someone came to block the door?
Or did it happen by chance?
Thinking that Zhao Yun was guarding outside, what could he do, Li Yu hummed a little song and walked to the front hall, and walked for more than a minute on the road for half a minute.
Cai Lun followed aside, looking at Li Yu with strange eyes.
What's wrong with Junhou today?
As soon as I got into my eyes, I saw seven or eight men lying at the door, which was similar to what Cai Lun said about blocking the door.
One of them covered his bleeding mouth and said, "My master said that if you want to open the door to do business in this Xianyang City, you have to ......."
The meaning of the gesture is self-evident, and it is immediately understood that this is a protection fee?
Li Yu was happy and said with a smile: "Then do you know who I am." β
The man with a bleeding mouth shouted: "I don't care who you are, if you want business to be better in the future, hurry up and give money." β
Li Yu is angry and funny, could it be that you can still lie at the door and make money?
looked at their own outfits, and then looked at the faΓ§ade, and it was no wonder that this group of people looked like they didn't have long eyes.
Li Yuyi has no court clothes, and second, he has no official authorization, and the storefronts are all ordinary stores that are casually handed down, so he really doesn't need to know who he is.
Li Yu secretly laughed at himself for taking it for granted, and said with a smile: "If you tell me who your master is, I will pay the money honestly, how about it?" β
The man was probably stunned, and said: "My master is a ......."
Before the words fell, the man next to him hurriedly covered the mouth of the bleeding man and shouted: "Second stunned, you don't want to live anymore." β
The man who was called a stunned man reacted at this time, and then thought of the cold appearance of the person who gave the money to direct him, and couldn't help but get up from the ground with a bang, patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Say, who instructed you to make trouble," Zhao Yun said with a cold wave of his hand.
A spear suddenly rested on his neck, and the second stunned man was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he said in a lot of words: "Hugh, don't think, our brothers come out, come out to mix, what we are talking about is a reputation." β
Li Yu looked at it and laughed, and said: "I think this group of people is also afraid that they are the thugs of the second way, where do you know who the main owner is, Zilong forget it." β
Only then did Zhao Yun put away his spear, stood aside and looked at the seven or eight people in front of him, and shouted: "Don't you get out of here, don't get in the way of Master Hou's business." β
When one of the lean men heard that the young man with the gun actually called the man next to him, the pupils shrank, and he was so frightened that he called out to the brothers, and ran away from the door.
ran straight to a corner, then gasped for breath, slapped angrily on the head of the man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks in front of him, and said: "Ergouzi, your grandmother has a leg, you dare to take this terrible errand, and almost killed Lao Tzu." β
The second dog was slapped by the boss for some reason, touched his head and asked: "Boss, why are you beating me, this errand is very good, although it didn't work out, but I got a fifty yuan deposit." β
The man who was called the boss said angrily: "You know a hammer, the person who pays us to do things doesn't seem to be a good bird, do you know what the white-faced baby called the owner of the paper seller just now?" β
"What's that?"
The boss was furious and slapped his head again, and shouted: "The special mother's is the Hou Ye, the Hou Ye understands it, the real special mother almost killed your kid." β
The second dog was dazed by a slap, "What is the monkey master?" β
The boss patted his head and said: "You can ask for the stupidity of Zhente Niang, as long as you remember that the paper seller is not the master we can afford to provoke, and the fifty yuan will be returned to Lao Tzu, and you can't ask for it." β
The prankster is also moral, and he knows how to refund the deposit for what he hasn't done, but more importantly, he knows that some people's money is hot, so it's better not to.
