Chapter 695: The Mind of Profit

Yingchuan, where the literati atmosphere is very strong, is a holy place for scholars all over the world, and everywhere you can see groups of scholars discussing the four books and five classics, criticizing the world's major events, occasionally arguing, red-faced, but no one will do it.

According to the culture here, that is to say, everyone is civilized and sophisticated, how can they be like those rude barbarians? It's insulting.

Yingchuan does not have too many troops to defend, but historically, there has been no disaster here, almost every scholar here has the background of a family, all over the world, very delicate, not to mention fighting, touching, it is a big sin.

We all know that to dominate the world, we must build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings, but in fact, the influence of scholars on the world is no less than that of any special troops, high-level formations, and even surpassing them.

If it weren't for Jia Xu's words, Ye Bin would not have deeply felt the importance of readers.

What is a reader? In this era when paper money is expensive, what the scholars control is the truth of the world, and their words and deeds are extremely eye-catching.

More importantly, they are not only able to govern the world, but also control the mouthpiece of the world.

Once they think that which person is not good, then wait for them to bewitch the people who don't know why, everyone is against you, even if you are powerful, how long can you jump?

In fact, this group of scholars is controlled by major families, so the one who really controls the mouthpiece of the world is actually the family of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is dense and dense, like a big net......

Emperor Han Ling imprisoned them, they let the world be in chaos, Dong Zhuo was brutal, they instigated all kinds of princes, most of them did not have the dream of ascending to the Ninety-Five Emperor, but what they wanted was the real hidden manipulation in the dark.

And Yingchuan is a microcosm of the world's family, here, gathered the most readers, in history, there are countless influential celebrities, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and so on...... It's all here, and you can imagine how huge the influence here is!

"Hey...... Brother Xi walked slowly, can you give me two more Shennong papers, Xiao Ke rose up yesterday and wrote a poem [Dingfeng Wave], wasting the last treasure, I heard that you still have two here, I don't know...... Can I borrow one from my younger brother? ”

Ye Bin walked aimlessly, he wanted to carefully observe the customs of Yingchuan first, and then think about it, but he didn't expect to hear the word 'Shennong', and he couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Brother Li, ......"

The young man known as Brother Liu sat in a long shirt and smiled bitterly: "It's not that Xi Mou refuses, it's just that my brother is seriously ill, and the last two Shennong papers have been sold by me...... If it weren't for that, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived this month. ”

"What?"

Brother Liu's face changed, and the young man who looked at the surname drama also had a trace of contempt: "How can this be...... How so...... Tyrannical things, really tyrannical things, you are also a scholar, why don't you know that paper is a thing, and if you change it for copper coins, won't it become smelly? ”

Ye Bin raised his eyebrows, a little speechless about this statement, everyone is going to die, and Sven is still a wool?

He didn't have a disguise, he came here to recruit talents, what's the matter with hiding his head and showing his tail? What's more, in the realm of Yingchuan, no one would dare to risk being spit on and launch a large army, and he really didn't care about three or two big cats and small cats.

However, since entering here, he has been very low-key, and he has not even brought a few girls out of the virtual metropolis, although some people think he is familiar, but no one thought that the world-famous Shennong and Ranch would come here alone.

"Hey......"

The scholar surnamed Xi had a bright face, and lowered his head a little ashamedly, obviously, he also felt that this was not in line with the identity of a scholar, but his brother was so kind to him, how could he abandon him?

"I have to do it as a last resort......"

"What a last resort!"

The scholar surnamed Liu snorted coldly: "Your eldest brother has a lot of friends, how come he has become a big official, and no one cares about him?" ”

Some scholars passing by heard this and talked about it:

Most of his friends defected to Cao Cao, and he was the only one left of the six gentlemen of Yingchuan at the beginning...... Unexpectedly, he was about to die. ”

"Yes, this plague came too suddenly, it's just hateful to the god and herdsman, on the surface, he doesn't take a penny, but secretly every medicinal material is sold at a sky-high price, we are okay, but how can those poor children afford it?"

"There are a lot of things about selling dog meat on the head of a sheep...... Isn't the same for the Shennong paper invented by Shennong Ye Bin? Each one is so expensive, even if it is for us, it is hard to find a piece of paper, he is full of copper smell, and now, there is even news that no matter how noble or low, I hope that people of insight can enter Shennong Valley, you say ridiculous. ”

"Hey, hey, go to him? Living in a couple, no ambitions, dreaming about it...... Do you want to go to Shennong Valley for the elderly? ”

"Hey...... Don't say that, at least he is still the emperor canonized by the first emperor. ”

"No kidding, what emperor? The young emperor has long been missing, he has been entrusted by the first emperor, and he knows every day that he is pretending to be a ghost, and what makes people even more angry is ......"

The man gritted his teeth: "In order to obtain Shennong paper, our group of scholars even have to trade with merchants, do you know, because of his deposits, many of the children of merchants have begun to study, when did these people who are covered with copper smell actually enter the ranks of scholars?" ”

Ye Bin frowned on the side, touched his chin, and felt very heavy, all along, the report of the spies said that the scholars in Yingchuan had a mixed reputation for him, which he could understand, due to the rise of papermaking, many wealthy but very low status businessmen had the capital to learn, which led to the fact that the originally high-ranking scholars were very unhappy.

In these days, scarcity is expensive, if there are as many people as dogs, who will cherish them?

Thin up the interests, many people will naturally be unbalanced in their hearts, with the so-called Shennong paper in their hands, but they scold Ye Bin in their hearts, according to many people's thinking, paper is such an elegant thing, it should not be sold for money, let alone to those cheap businessmen.

However, he felt that there should be many people applauding and agreeing, after all, although Shennong paper is expensive, it has given the children of the poor family a chance to enter the ranks of scholars.

But the truth is the opposite, he forgot about the desire of people to pursue profits.
