Chapter 168: Dare to talk to Emperor Han about business
Zhen's is okay in Zhongshan, or Jizhou, but it's really nothing in Sizhou, and Zhang's and Su's are similar.
If you want to cooperate with Zhen's, then you can only put the papermaking workshop in Jizhou, but this is too far away, including the initial construction and technology are under the control of others...... This is obviously not in Liu Tao's interests.
Don't look at the fact that everyone has a marriage relationship, as long as the interests are enough, it is nothing to give up a daughter. Of course, they don't dare to repent of their marriage, and the Zhen family, who is about to become a pure businessman, has no qualifications to break the contract, but they are about to give up Zhen Jiang.
The point is that the profit of the paper workshop is estimated to really make the other party do such a thing.
"At the beginning of the workshop, it must be under my supervision, and at the same time, it is best to ensure the confidentiality of the technology...... "Liu Tao has a lot of technology in his head, and the problem is how to turn the technology into profit, which is very important.
"What does my brother mean, is it that he knows how to improve Cai Hou's paper?" Lu Yan looked incredulous, and Jian Yong and the others were similar. The two members of the Zhen family joined the army, and their eyes were even brighter.
"I probably know the principle, but it's hard to say in practice." Liu Tao is also not sure, the information he saw on the Internet will not work. Interlaced like a mountain, without really contact with the paper industry, talking about improving papermaking, there is obviously a suspicion of hilarity.
Just like the literature of later generations, distilled liquor made a fortune at every turn, and the cellaring and flavoring were not to be said. Don't look at the brandy of 95 degrees in later generations, but there is a premise for it, that is, others have to be brandy first, and then 95 degrees.
If it doesn't taste good, then it's better to drink medical alcohol directly, which is 95°.
"Why don't you give it a try?" When it comes to the cultural industry, Lu Yan is not calm, "We still have two thousand reserves here, and we can invest it directly." ”
"Our Zhen (Zhang) clan can also invest some, and we will discuss with the patriarch how much to invest." Zhen and Zhang's two soldiers also came forward immediately.
"Zhen and Zhang are willing to invest, and I naturally welcome them. However, the workshop must be here in Luoyang, and I want to open a papermaking workshop here, so that it is convenient for me to explore the process. Liu Tao also offered his conditions.
"We'll explain it to the patriarch." When the two heard this, they hesitated slightly, and finally planned to accept it first.
"The key is to open a workshop in Luoyang, especially a papermaking workshop, if it is successful, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people who covet it. We need a presence that can hold the field and help maintain this industry......," Liu Taolu pondered.
Lu Zhi wants to serve as the pastor of Jizhou, and he will go there to take office within a month. In Luoyang, the acquaintance is either Yuan Shao, who initially established friendship, or ......
"Slowly, there is a person who can calm the field, and he is talking about business, and it is estimated that there are some risks." Liu Tao suddenly remembered a person, an existence that he knew and had a lot of weight.
"What the lord said, is it ...... Your Majesty? Jian Yong looked at the people Liu Tao knew, and it seemed that only the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty met this condition.
"Eh, you guessed it?" Liu Tao was a little surprised.
"Brother, are you serious?" Lu Yan looked at Liu Tao in disbelief, talking about business with the Han Emperor, it was a little unbelievable.
"Our Majesty is not the same as other emperors." Liu Tao smiled, "Don't say it, rest early!" ”
After saying that, he went back to wash and rest, leaving this group of stunned guys. After seeing Liu Tao leave, everyone stared at him, and in the end, they had no choice but to go back to rest.
The next day, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stayed behind, and Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu went to Lantai to read books. Liu Tao didn't go over, he went directly to Beigong, showed his waist card, explained his intention, and the process was quite smooth.
It was the follow-up, and he waited for an hour before the Yellow Gate came to announce that he had entered the audience. Calculating the time, it was more than ten o'clock in the morning, and ordinary officials had to go to the yamen at five o'clock to order the mao, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not wake up until ten o'clock......
I heard that one of the manifestations of kidney deficiency is drowsiness...... Liu Tao complained in his heart on the way in the past. Of course, this is also what he looks at casually, and he doesn't bother to care if there is a scientific basis or not.
complaining here is just because someone made him wait for a full hour......
"I'm not giving you three days off to disturb my rest." Liu Hong obviously had just woken up, and he was groggy and groggy when he sat at the same time, covering his head with his hands, not a lift, but a headache.
Combined with his current mental outlook, it is estimated that he is hungover...... It is said to be related to the non-ethanol components in the wine, and it is said that it is related to methanol, and Liu Tao is not very clear about the specifics.
"Chancellor just thought of a business...... I want to find His Majesty to join in. Liu Tao was blunt, anyway, if he beat around the bush, it is estimated that Liu Hong would have to send someone to kick his ass and drive him out of the North Palace.
"Should I say that you are bold, or are you too young...... Liu Hong was not sleepy when he heard this, and even wanted to laugh a little, "Looking at the world, you are the first one who dares to join me in business." ”
After a pause, he looked at Liu Tao and said, "For your boldness, I'll give you a chance to introduce." If it's boring, then I won't spare you. ”
I always feel that this clan brother is a little presumptuous, or is his attitude too good before, which makes him a little complacent? It seems that the necessary suppression cannot be less!
"The minister plans to improve the papermaking technique, and the funds are already in place, which is one less piece of land to establish a workshop." Liu Tao replied.
"Paper...... It's kind of interesting. Liu Hong's spirit is a little better, in fact, since Cai Lun improved the papermaking technology, the process has also improved a little bit, "It's just that if the process is only improved a little bit, it's not interesting." ”
"The process has almost completely changed, and the minister plans to try it and use bamboo to make paper." Liu Tao replied.
In my memory, there are two concepts of bamboo paper, one is to really use bamboo to make paper, and the other is something called bamboo and hemp. Relatively speaking, it is more familiar to use bamboo to make paper. He is really not familiar with this thing.
He even remembered that the rice paper was made of green sandalwood bark and sand field straw, and if there was no sand field straw, he could try ordinary straw, but it was just green sandalwood bark, which was probably not easy to get. He doesn't know much about the key rice paper process.
Maybe you can explore it in the future, but at this stage, if you want to get started immediately, the bamboo paper can be considered.
"Bamboo paper? Interesting! How sure are you? Liu Hong asked, he didn't know much about papermaking, and he also knew that the main raw material was hemp. Replace hemp with bamboo, but don't know how effective it is.
"I need to try, but I think I'm still sure," Liu Tao replied......, "The key is that there must be a few craftsmen who know how to make paper, and help to work together." ”
"Papermaking......" Liu Hong began to weigh it, there was no way, he was really short of money.
