Chen Guoting had actually thought about what to say on the way here, so he didn't hesitate, and after sorting out his thoughts, he was going to speak immediately.

"Master Wu, this kind of paper is much better than the previous paper, and the price is low, such paper should be suitable for national promotion, at least so that all students can use such books, such paper, I think, this is not a difficult thing."

"Because after my observation in the past few days, I found that the production efficiency of snowflakes is very fast, and if it is promoted by the government, it can be quickly spread all over the country. I don't know what Master Wu thinks? ”

"Of course, don't get me wrong, Master Wu, I don't mean to ask for the production technology of snowflakes, just a form of cooperation."

"The government wants to buy the snowflakes of the Wu people at a low price, and then ship them to the county offices across the country, and then sell them by the government, of course, the government will not maliciously raise the price, and the current price shall prevail."

"Moreover, if Wu Dalang wants to change the price in the future, he can also change the price uniformly across the country, which can not only facilitate the popularization of snowflakes, but also benefit all students, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

"And I have discussed this matter with Your Majesty, and have made a preliminary plan. Wu Daren sold them to the government at the price of half a penny each, and the price of the government was unified throughout the country into one penny. ”

"In this way, Lord Wu may not make any money, but for Your Majesty, this is a mutually beneficial matter for both parties. In this way, Your Majesty can acquiesce to the snowflakes and let Master Wu continue to make them, otherwise I think Your Majesty will definitely have some ideas in his heart, and maybe he will take the pieces of snowflakes of Lord Wu as his own. ”

"If it is made by His Majesty, then these traitors will interfere with it, and the price of shipping to various places will not be so low at that time, it may increase several times, so that many people will still not be able to buy snowflakes."

"Therefore, my suggestion is to sell it in this way, and when the time comes, I will discuss it with Li Gang and jointly promote it, so that the price will be unified and the treasury can be replenished, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

"Master Wu, I'm done."

Wu Dalang showed a smile and nodded with satisfaction: "You have indeed seriously considered it, the ideas in all aspects coincide with me, if I can't give Your Majesty a little sweetness, Your Majesty will definitely snatch it, this is a matter of interests, it is inevitable." ”

"But you're still wrong, you said that the price of snowflakes is low, but in fact, I sell them at a high price. If I want everyone to have paper and books for everyone to read, I need it cheaper. ”

"I don't care about making money, I just hope that these papers, these books, can benefit more people, so that they can broaden their minds and become talents. In the future, it can be used by the imperial court, so that the Great Song Dynasty will become stronger and stronger. ”

"So, you wait a few days, and I'll continue to prepare more papers. At that time, I will price the paper at 10 sheets per penny. The way of selling is still as you just said. ”

Chen Guoting looked at Wu Dalang, his eyes were full of respect, this is a good official for the country and the people.

"Understand, I'll definitely get this done when the time comes." Chen Guoting said slightly respectfully.

Then Wu Dalang turned his head to look at Liu Zhengfu: "It's your turn, tell me what you think." ”

Liu Zhengfu really wants to die now, these two people say something sweet to His Majesty in front of him, which obviously means to calculate His Majesty, and he is just an outsider, now hearing such words, it is really difficult for him to ride a tiger.

Liu Zhengfu was a little scared, he was wondering if Wu Dalang would turn around and calculate him, and kill someone or something? After all, he listened to something he shouldn't have heard.

Liu Zhengfu gritted his teeth and said: "Master Wu, I admire what you have done, you are a good official and a capable person, so I want to serve you like Chen Shangshu." I don't know if Lord Wu is willing to take it in. ”

Wu Dalang said happily: "That is naturally willing, I hope that in the future, everyone will help each other and create a prosperous Song Dynasty together. ”

Hit the grand Song?

A figure who will go down in history?

Is it admired by future generations?

Chen Guoting and Liu Zhengfu were both shocked, didn't their ambition to become officials at the beginning just go down in history? But after entering the court, they found that things were not as simple as they imagined.

They can only keep pandering to keep themselves alive, only to find that they have forgotten even their ultimate ambitions.

Now that Wu Dalang has mentioned it again, it seems that they have found themselves again, and with Wu Dalang, it seems that it has not become so difficult to go down in history.

"We must be the first to look at the horse." Chen Guoting and Liu Zhengfu said in unison, expressing their loyalty again.

Wu Dalang nodded: "In the future, you will find out how correct your choice is." ”

Wu Dalang said and took out the paper from his arms: "The two pieces of paper in my hand have the manufacturing method of paper and printing on them. Masao, I'll give you both of these things now. ”

Liu Zhengfu was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that he had just joined Wu Dalang and actually got Wu Dalang's valuable technology, but he didn't expect Wu Dalang to believe him so much.

The so-called soldier dies for the sake of pleasing himself, and Liu Zhengfu is full of gratitude for Wu Dalang's trust.

Liu Zhengfu took the two pieces of paper: "Thank you Lord Wu for your trust." ”

Wu Dalang waved his hand: "For my own people, I have always trusted, the so-called suspicious people do not need, use people without suspicion, I use you of course have investigated you, I know that you have been weaving tirelessly and the method of moving thousands of ploughs every day, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and this is also the fundamental reason why you can get my trust." ”

Liu Zhengfu suddenly realized, and at the same time there were some lucks in his heart, fortunately, he had done this matter seriously before, otherwise he might be attributed to the traitor camp by Wu Dalang, and he didn't know how to die at that time.

Wu Dalang continued: "I'm testing you now, you have two things in your hands now, what will you do with these two things." ”

Liu Zhengfu glanced at the paper in his hand and fell into deep thought, he had also listened to the conversation between Chen Guoting and Wu Dalang just now, and he also began to analyze. I also know what the most important thing among them is, one must be beneficial to the country and the people, and the other must be beneficial to oneself, in other words, between Wu Dalang and Huizong, Wu Dalang must be chosen.

Liu Zhengfu figured it out at once, so he said: "The manufacturing method of paper cannot be leaked, because the adults are still selling it, and they will cooperate with the government in the future, and the manufacturing method must always be firmly in their hands." Printing should be promoted, because with the increase of paper, it is necessary to print books in various places, otherwise empty white paper will not play a role. Therefore, while transporting paper to the whole country, it is also necessary to pass on the printing technology together. ”

Wu Dalang showed a smile: "Very good, you are also a person with outstanding ability, I appreciate you." In the future, with you in the court, I can rest assured. ”

Chen Guoting and Liu Zhengfu froze for a while, and they didn't understand Wu Dalang's words very well.
