Chapter 403: Bargaining
Why did Yang Biao "know that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefer to go to the tiger mountains", obviously Liu Xin said it so clearly, Yang Biao still wants to "send money" to Liu Xin?
The reason is actually very simple, although Yang Ci did not tell Yang Biao about his purpose and discernment, but Yang Biao is not a fool, as Yang Ci's son, Yang Biao naturally knows some of Yang Ci's ideas, as well as some of Yang Ci's preparations, for example, Yang Biao has seen Yang Ci has written a book of Yang family studies, and Yang Biao also put forward a lot of suggestions on this, and after a drink, Yang Ci also faintly revealed his true thoughts.

Therefore, Yang Biao now understands his father's true purpose, and also understands how important the secret recipe of rice paper in Liu Xin's hand is to his father and to the Hongnong Yang family where he is located!
Yang Biao now finally knows why his father asked him to take the secret recipe of rice paper in Liu Xin's hand before he went out to give Liu Xin a gift today, and it was the kind that was at all costs, so even if Liu Xin said it so clearly, Yang Biao still chose to insist on getting the secret recipe of rice paper in Liu Xin's hand, and also proposed more generous conditions to attract Liu Xin.
Therefore, Yang Biao has now made up his mind, no matter what conditions Liu Xin proposes, Yang Biao can agree, if Liu Xin insists on not agreeing, then Yang Biao is ready to lie in Liu Xin's compound, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal!
So, Yang Biao looked at Liu Xin with eyes full of expectation and perseverance, which made Liu Xin feel a little furious, after all, anyone who was stared at by a middle-aged man in his forties would not feel any better.
Now, Liu Xin began to muttered in his heart, why does the Hongnong Yang family value the secret recipe of rice paper so much, or why is the Hongnong Yang family unwilling to share this secret recipe of rice paper with other families for free?
No profit can not afford to be early.
Liu Xin can now be sure that the reason why the Hongnong Yang family attaches so much importance to this secret recipe of rice paper, and is willing to spend such a big price to obtain this exclusive secret recipe of rice paper, it means that this exclusive recipe of rice paper can bring huge benefits to the Hongnong Yang family, and this benefit is not something that money can buy!
Liu Xin thought of this, and then thought of He Jin, who came to him for cooperation yesterday, and now in Liu Xin's opinion, the Hongnong Yang family and He Jin's ideas are similar, and they both plan to exchange money for something else, such as reputation, such as prestige...
In a flash of inspiration, Liu Xin suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hang a smile, and now Liu Xin finally understood why the Hongnong Yang family was willing to spend so much money to seek cooperation from him, and he was willing to reach such a unfavorable cooperation content for himself, it turned out that it was all for a "name"!
The reason why Liu Xin was able to see through all this was because Su Jia had approached Liu Xin not long ago and discussed one thing, that is, how to find the scribe forces (the focus is on Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, who are both famous and not much involved in the Han Dynasty) to brush their sense of existence and favorability, among which Su Jia proposed such a plan, a plan that coincides with Yang Ci's plan, that is, let Liu Xin annotate the Four Books and Five Classics!
Su Jia thought so at that time, the power of scribes is different from other forces, they can take advantage of the situation to suppress people, and use their own energy to reverse black and white, after all, except for a few moths, the Han scribes are all honest and fearless people, they will only appreciate those talented people, and will not bend their waists for five buckets of rice, let alone like those so-called "literati" and "public knowledge" in modern times, full of nonsense, self-righteous, and a look of "everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober".
Therefore, if Liu Xin wants to "break into" the internal power of the scribes, he must show his literary knowledge, of course, the knowledge here does not include things like chemistry and physics, after all, all the doctrines that are too advanced are not as reliable as ghosts and gods in the eyes of people of insight in the Han Dynasty.
As for talent, it is nothing more than poetry and songs, and Liu Xin is now proficient in 300 Tang poems, so can Liu Xin become a great Han writer by reciting poems?
Impossible, that's a possibility that doesn't exist at all.
Because in the era of the Han Dynasty, although there are also literary works in the form of poetry, but for the scribes of the Han Dynasty, these poems are only trivial and cannot be put on the stage of literary works, only Gefu is the real literary work, everyone's work, so the Han scribes generally respect this kind of work, Liu Xin unless he becomes the emperor of the Han Dynasty and strongly admires poetry, it is possible to become a Han writer by relying on these poems.
Of course, Liu Xin doesn't think that the song is necessarily a level higher than the poetry, just like Liu Xin doesn't think that the forced grade of traditional novels must be higher than that of online novels, those who have to give literary works a three, six, nine, etc., are mentally retarded in Liu Xin's eyes, of course, even if some plagiarized works are well written and have more audiences, they can't change the classification of garbage.
For example, when Liu Xin traveled to this world before, he heard that a shameless author forcibly "adapted" a Tanmei novel into a romance novel, and then went to the original author to ask for recommendations.
Getting back to the point, poems and songs, Yuanqu novels, no matter what type of literary works, all have their own literary value, but because they became popular in some periods of China for some reasons, they became the mainstream literary form of this period.
Therefore, although Liu Xin can still recite many famous works that have not yet been released, such as his third brother Cao Cao's "Red Cliff Fu", and his future nephew Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu", but can Liu Xin directly take it out and apply it?
Of course, there is only one answer, that is, no, the reason is very simple, songs are generally based on lyrical feelings, so most of them are made by rise, for example, "Red Cliff Fu" involves the battle of Red Cliff, and Cao Cao's state of mind at that time, even if Liu Xin forcibly "borrowed" it, as long as it is a person with a little literary level, it can be seen that this is not consistent with Liu Xin's experience and experience, that is, there is no "sense of substitution", which makes people unable to believe that this "Red Cliff Fu" will be done by Liu Xin.
After all, in the era of the Han Dynasty, the scribes were absolutely repulsed by the behavior of "plagiarism", as long as a scribe appeared "plagiarism", then the scribe would definitely be driven out of the circle of scribes, and he would never be able to turn over, or even become a rat crossing the street, everyone hated it, and there would be a number of "brain-dead fans" like later generations.
Laugh.
Therefore, Liu Xin could only choose the method proposed by Su Jia - annotating the Four Books and Five Classics, to put it bluntly, it is to make footnotes to the Four Books and Five Classics, write annotations, and translate the meaning of this sentence by the way.
Although this annotation of the Four Books and Five Classics seems very simple, very relaxed and pleasant, you only need to write your own opinions casually, but in the final analysis, this is not an easy thing to starve, especially in ancient China, to be able to annotate the Four Books and Five Classics of this level of classics, but it requires extremely high literary literacy and social status, after all, the literati are light, if your annotation can not be recognized by other literati, then it will be scolded by other literati.
Therefore, in all dynasties of the Chinese Dynasty, only those famous literati who could count the number dared to write classic books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, and these annotated Four Books and Five Classics naturally became the representative works of these famous literati, and it can also be said that they are the pinnacle works of these famous literati, after all, it takes a lot of energy to annotate classic books such as the Four Books and Five Classics.
But now, Liu Xin already has Su Jia, a "ghostwriter", so he has come up with a set of four books and five classics that have been "annotated" by Liu Xin, and they are all legendary "hardcover collector's editions", just wait for Liu Xin to find a suitable opportunity to send such a set when communicating with those scribe forces, and there will be a chance to brush up on a wave of favorability.
Therefore, Liu Xin quickly understood the purpose of Hongnong Yang's family to obtain this secret recipe of rice paper, which was nothing more than the same thing as what he wanted to do, using the characteristics of rice paper to make books, and then using it as a carrier to spread his "private goods", so as to enhance his status in the circle of scribes.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin has already seen through the red dust... Ah, I saw through everything, so Liu Xin prepared his words for a while, and said to Yang Biao: "Brother Wen Xian, your sincerity makes this king very satisfied and very moved, so this king has decided to cooperate with your Hongnong Yang family, but because of the current situation, this king still has to put forward two prerequisites, if Brother Wen Xian you agree, then we can talk about specific cooperation matters, of course, Brother Wen Xian, you can also bring the conditions proposed by this king back to discuss with your family." ā
Liu Xin's words made Yang Biao breathe a sigh of relief, after all, Liu Xin had been thinking about it for a while, which made Yang Biao begin to doubt that Liu Xin would refuse him, as for the two prerequisites that Liu Xin said, it was not a matter for Yang Biao at all, after all, Yang Biao was ready to promise Liu Xin any conditions, even if it was a personal promise... Yang Biao will still think about it...
Therefore, Yang Biao immediately nodded and said: "Lord, don't worry, I have already obtained my father's authorization, as long as you are willing to hand over the secret recipe of rice paper to our Hongnong Yang family as the exclusive agent, not to mention the two prerequisites, as long as our Hongnong Yang family can do it, then our Hongnong Yang family will do it even if it is a hundred prerequisites!" ā
Liu Xin smiled, nodded and said: "So very good, then the king will have something to say, these two prerequisites of this king are actually very simple, first of all, I hope that Brother Wen Xian, the Hongnong Yang family where you are located can ensure the number of rice paper shipments, after all, the reason why this king intends to make the secret recipe of rice paper public, is to hope to seek a benefit for the scholars in the Han world, so this king hopes that the Hongnong Yang family you represent can not deliberately reduce the output after getting this secret recipe of rice paper, And it is best to control the price, to ensure that the Han people in the world can have the opportunity to afford rice paper, of course, this king can not let Brother Wen Xian you represent the Hongnong Yang family suffer, so this king will also provide a variety of paper recipes with different functions, after all, rice paper is mainly used for writing and painting, and is not suitable for making books, so this king also has a paper secret recipe that is very suitable as a book, this king believes that Brother Wen Xian You will be satisfied. ā
Although Yang Biao knew that Liu Xin might have seen the true purpose of his father, or the Hongnong Yang family he represented, Yang Biao didn't care about this matter now, because Liu Xin mentioned other functions of paper, and the most important thing was that there was paper that was more suitable for making books!
The role of rice paper has long been thoroughly studied by the Hongnong Yang family, so Yang Biao also knows very well that what Liu Xin said is true, and rice paper is more suitable for writing and painting than making books.
But Yang Biao at that time also understood that even if rice paper was not suitable for making books, the Hongnong Yang family had no other choice, so no matter what, rice paper had to be used as a raw material for making books.
But it's good now, Liu Xin is willing to "buy one get more free", and then provide Hongnong Yang's family with some paper formulas, including paper formulas suitable for making books, which is undoubtedly a relief for Yang Biao!
Therefore, Yang Biao immediately nodded, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this prerequisite of yours is simply to send benefits to the Hongnong Yang family represented in the next, how can there be any reason not to accept it in the next, and now you can guarantee that after my Hongnong Yang family gets the secret recipe of rice paper, the amount of rice paper produced every year can satisfy you, and we will sell it at a price close to cost price!" Please rest assured about this! ā
Yang Biao still doesn't know the secret recipe of rice paper, so he doesn't know what the cost of rice paper is, so Yang Biao simply said the bottom line price of Hongnong Yang's family, that is, only to protect the capital, not to seek profits.
Liu Xin saw that Yang Biao agreed so simply, so he didn't talk nonsense, and directly put forward his second condition, "Brother Wen Xian is really a cheerful person, so let's talk about this second prerequisite, that is, the profit problem of this king, in fact, this king will give Brother Wen Xian you a straight talk, although the production process of this rice paper is more troublesome, but the raw materials are very easy to obtain, so the cost of rice paper can be described as extremely low, so this king hopes that Brother Wen Xian, your Hongnong Yang family, As long as you give the same weight of gold as the rice paper produced by the king, you can do it as a reward. ā
