"Zhong Fei, Shiping, you have also observed these new papers, what do you think? Can you have the confidence to snatch the market of Zuobo paper? ”

Lu Bu looked at Su Shuang and Zhang Yi and said.

"Rest assured! With the quality of these papers, we can definitely sell them everywhere! ”

Su Shuang is very confident.

Zhang Yi also said with emotion, "I thought that this Zuobo paper was the best paper in the world, but now that this new paper of the prince is out, Zuobo paper is nothing." If it is sold at a price lower than this Zuobo paper, and it cannot replace the market of Zuobo paper, then wouldn't we be too incompetent? ”

"Hahaha!"

When Lu Bu heard this, he also smiled, "You can't underestimate the market of this Zuo Bo paper!" As soon as my paper comes out, it will inevitably damage the interests of many people, and it is by no means easy to seize their market. At the end of the day, paper can't compare to coal, horses, or salt! I can make paper, and so can others! ”

"We businessmen only care about one thing, and that is the quality of the goods. This new paper is better than that Zuobo paper, and if the price is cheaper than him, where is there no market? ”

Su Shuang replied, "It's just that in my opinion, as soon as this new paper comes out, I'm afraid that the price of paper in the market will fall." The prince does not know that the benefits that can be earned by this Zuobo paper are very great, and the family that has mastered the paper-making process of Zuobo paper is firmly in the hands of this process, so that no one in the market can compete with it, in this situation, the price of Zuobo paper is getting higher and higher! And if the paper made by the prince is sold, I am afraid that these people will lower the price one after another to compete with it......"

"If they fall, we can do it too!"

Lu Bu is not worried about such a thing, "I won't hide it from the two of you, the cost of my new paper is extremely cheap, I'm sure that the cost of this Zuo Bo paper is definitely not as low as the cost of my new paper, so they can reduce the price, and we are happy to accompany it." ”

Lu Bu did not know the raw materials of Zuo Bo paper clearly, but he probably understood that Zuo Bo paper still did not break away from the restrictions of the times. Its raw materials are probably hemp and mulberry and other things. However, the paper made by Lu Bu is made of bamboo.

It just so happens that there is a production area of bamboo in this state! There are a large number of bamboo forests in Xihe County, which can be described as inexhaustible!

In this way, Lu Bu dared to say that the price of his paper made of bamboo would definitely be lower than that of Zuobo paper! No matter what the papermaking process of this Zuobo paper is, it has the limitations of the times, which makes it very different from the new paper made by Lu Bu in terms of raw materials for papermaking.

If Lu Bu didn't say that this bamboo could be made of paper, how would people in the world know that his new paper would be made of bamboo?

Cai Yong asked him what the paper was made of, but Lu Bu avoided answering because he was afraid that Cai Yong, an honest man, would not be able to hold the door in his mouth. If he said that this paper was made of bamboo, he was afraid that Cai Yong would be able to leak it out immediately.

Of course, even if others know that the paper is made of bamboo, it doesn't matter. Without a specific process, they can't make bamboo paper! You must know that the process of bamboo paper, that is Lu Bu according to the knowledge of later generations, experienced dozens of failures, and it took nearly a year before and after, which led to the emergence of new paper today. With the level of technology in this era, it is really not easy.

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Su Shuang and Zhang Yi became more and more confident that Wenhou paper could replace Zuo Bo paper and become the world's three major literary products on a par with Zhang Yibi and Wei Danmo.

It is conceivable that when Wenhou paper sweeps the world with quality and price, it will make more money. After coal, salt, horses, wine and many other unique resources of the state, Wenhou paper will become a new economic pillar of the state.

And just when Lu Bu was very pleased with the success of the production of Wenhou paper, the whole world was in turmoil.

In February of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao of Yanzhou raised another army to attack Xuzhou, and he was bound to kill Tao Qian to avenge his father! Cao Jun's raging momentum this time also shocked the world.

This time, Cao Cao is determined to capture Xuzhou!

As Cao Cao's boss, Yuan Shao and Yuan Meng, also supported the younger brother to attack the city and plunder the land, so he sent Zhu Ling and 10,000 soldiers and horses to help Cao Cao attack Xuzhou. It is precisely this that makes Cao Jun's momentum even higher.

Xuzhou really has the feeling of being destroyed in an instant.

In the face of the menacing Cao army, Tao Qian, who was guarding Xuzhou and was riddled with illness, naturally could not sit still. On the one hand, he dispatched troops, and on the other hand, he asked people to contact Tian Kai, the assassin of Qingzhou, and Liu Bei, the minister of the plains, who were stationed in Qidi, and asked them to send troops to help.

I don't know if it's because of Cao Hong's matter, Tao Qian didn't send someone to ask for help this time.

Tao Qian did not come to ask for help, but Lu Bu was not idle, and immediately mobilized a large army. It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Lu Bu's series of behaviors were not prepared for the attack on Yanzhou, but there was gossip that Lu Bu wanted to take the opportunity to capture Hedong!

Xu Rong, who was sitting in Hanoi, and the soldiers and horses in Hanoi, did not show any signs of transferring troops, but Zhang Liao, who was sitting in Gaonu, frequently showed signs of mobilizing troops, as if he wanted to send troops to Hedong.

As a springboard between Guanzhong and Shanxi, the military geographical location of Hedong can be said to be extremely important. If Hedong is lost, then the gateway to Guanzhong is not guaranteed, and Lu Bu can go south to take Guanzhong directly. If you want to take Guanzhong, you must first take Hedong!

And judging from all of Lu Bu's actions, the idea of attacking Hedong was also premeditated. At this time, Chang'an, Li Dao, and Guo Yan did not have the energy to pay attention to the affairs of Hedong.

Ma Teng of Xiliang and Li Dao and Guo Yan of Chang'an were opposed, and the two armies held each other for many days, even if there was no war, but it was possible to fight at any time. And after hearing that Ma Teng had a conflict with Li Dao and Guo Yan in Chang'an, so that he wanted to meet with swords, Han Sui, who was also a warlord of Xiliang with Ma Teng, also led troops to Chang'an to persuade them to reconcile.

It's just that everyone who understands knows that how can anyone bring troops to persuade him? This is clearly the reinforcement that Ma Teng shouted! I don't know what interests caused Ma Teng, Han Sui, these Xiliang warlords and Li Guo to have a conflict, so that the swords and soldiers met each other. But in short, one thing is certain, Chang'an at this time is also stormy, and there is no energy to pay attention to other things.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to pay attention to and solve the matter of whether Lu Bu is going to conquer Hedong.
