Chapter 606: Boiled Frog in Warm Water
"This paper is so thin."
Xun Yu picked up a stack of papers, then picked up a book of Analects, and said excitedly after flipping through the two pages: "And it's so white and smooth, it's a hundred times more than Cai Hou's paper!" ”
"What's more, such a small book actually contains the entire Analects, this is simply a divine book."
Wang Xizhi also said excitedly, and the reactions of the others were similar to the two of them.
Books, glass, and soap, among the three things, glass and soap may be stronger than books in terms of profitability, but it is still books that have the greatest impact on everyone.
If a copy of the Analects is recorded in bamboo slips, it often weighs dozens of bundles and dozens of catties, but now it can be held with only one hand, which is simply a revolution for the academic community, and it is impossible for many scholars to ignore it.
Qin Hao didn't take out the movable type printing, the "Analects" in front of everyone was just a hand-copied version, and there were two reasons why he didn't take it out.
First, the impact of papermaking alone is already of seismic level.
If the modulation printing technology is also used at this time, once the number of books is flooded, it will inevitably break the monopoly of education in the family, and Qin Hao will also become a thorn in the side of the family.
Second, any item is scarce and expensive.
If the number of books is too much, it will not be conducive to Qin Hao's accumulation of wealth, and now Qin Hao needs books to collect money.
To sum up the above two points, Qin Hao is ready to spend ten years, from hand-copying books, to engraving printing, to movable type printing, gradually promoting the progress of printing, and unknowingly breaking the monopoly of education by the family.
Qin Hao knew that he couldn't deal with the family hard, and he had to use the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water to gradually encroach, and when the family reacted, they had already lost control of education, and even if they wanted to target Qin Hao at that time, it would be too late.
The impact of books is so great that almost everyone gathers around them, ignoring the other two money-making artifacts.
Seeing this, Qin Hao just wanted to remind everyone and take a look at the other two items, after all, what Nanyang lacks most now is money, but everyone can't help but ask.
"My lord, where did this new papermaking technique come from?" Wang Meng asked.
"My lord, what is this new paper made of?" Liu Ye asked.
"Lord, how much does this new paper cost?" Xun Yu asked.
"Lord, can this new paper be made on a large scale?" Han Fei asked.
……
Each of the ministers had a few questions, and Qin Hao couldn't answer them at all.
"Okay, okay, all quiet down, listen to Ben Hou speak slowly."
And then of course, it was a perfect rhetoric made up, and everyone was shocked after listening to it, no one could do the craftsman learning that they couldn't look down on, but it had such a huge push for technology.
Among the crowd, only Liu Ye is proud, he is well aware of the embarrassing status of craftsmen, but he never regrets joining the workers.
Once this new papermaking technique is born, I'm afraid the leader and the elders will not be able to sit still, right?
Liu Ye secretly said in his heart, he also hoped that the Gongjia could help the master, and with this papermaking technique and various equipment drawings, it was enough for the Gongjia to bet on it.
"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, with this new style of white paper in hand, whether it is selling paper or books in the future, I Nanyang will definitely be able to survive the financial crisis."
Wen Tianxiang congratulated with a smile, and then everyone also congratulated in unison.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Qin Hao smiled and nodded, he took out these things, not just to tide over the financial crisis.
The Tang sword, Song crossbow and other ordnance being developed by the Industrial Construction Institute need a lot of money as a backing before it is possible to develop and be equipped on a large scale, so it is absolutely impossible to have no money.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't just stare at this new paper, the other two are good things too."
Hearing Qin Hao say this, everyone also reacted that there were two more things, and they couldn't help but look forward to it, but after Qin Hao explained, they were all interested.
A luxury item, a daily necessities, it turns out that they are just simple money-making tools!
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Everyone congratulated in unison, and although the voice was loud, sincere, and joyful, it was far from the irrepressible excitement of seeing the new paper.
The corners of Qin Hao's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this, do you want it to be so obvious? You are really high-spirited, and you treat money like dung!
The formation of the Nanyang caravan, Qin Hao handed over to the most professional Shen Wansan, and there was absolutely no one present who was better at doing business than him.
The others are probably unwilling to do it, after all, they have already stepped into the official career, how can they be willing to degenerate into business.
As for the acquisition of land, as well as the IOU with the family, Qin Hao handed it over to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu was born in the Yingchuan Xun family, and he has the most confidence in facing the family, and he is the best candidate to deal with the family.
After this period of 'force' confrontation, the Nanyang family knew the people's determination to resist to the death, and also understood that the land might not come back, and the reason why they gritted their teeth and held on was just to reduce losses.
Now Xun Yu took the initiative to ask for the acquisition of land, and the family naturally couldn't ask for it, and the market price was not unacceptable, after all, it was a little bit to reduce the loss.
But when Xun Yu proposed an IOU, most of the families changed their faces.
"Is the champion Hou taking the heads of the family here as fools?"
"He Qin Hao doesn't know how much land we have in Nanyang, so he will make an IOU?"
"Yes, even if we are willing to make an IOU, can he Qin Hao afford it?"
"It's not going to be borrowed and not returned, right?"
All the heads of the family present were not young, so they were very polite when they spoke, and even pointed at Xun Yu's nose and scolded Qin Hao, but Xun Yu always showed people with a smiling face, which made these elders very embarrassed.
"Rest assured, my lord is the eldest son of the Qin family, the only son of the Marquis of Jin, how can he do such a thing that he owes money and does not pay it back?"
Xun Yu's simple words dispelled the doubts about Qin Hao's financial resources that everyone who was still aggressive just now.
Seeing this, Xun Yu hit the railroad while it was hot: "My lord has decided to form a Nanyang caravan and supply to families who are willing to sell land, so it still doesn't prove my lord's sincerity?" ”
When the heads of the Nanyang families heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, the Qin family is now the first of the five major commercial families, and the family that drinks soup and states is also very profitable, and following the Qin family to do business is much more beneficial than farming.
In the past, there were people who swore to resist to the death, and the gains of forcibly returning the land outweighed the losses, and then there were merchants who had a lot of money, and as long as they were mixed in, they would definitely make countless profits.
Coupled with Qin Hao's extremely firm attitude, this made the Nanyang family not hesitate much, and most of them were willing to join in and benefit together with Qin Hao.
Of course, it is not impossible to sell land, but it is difficult to reverse the general trend, so it is simply ignored.
So far, the land reform in Nanyang has been completed peacefully.
This is a miracle, an irreproducible miracle completed with the joint efforts of Qin Hao and the people.
