In Chang'an City, after Wang Dequan came back a day early, he was not in a hurry to put the paper on the shelves.

His goal is not to sell goods, but to stabilize prices.

Li Chengqian said that every knife costs ten cents, so this price can no longer make waves.

That night, the nobles in Chang'an actually received the news.

The family has a fast horse that reports the news and comes back with some samples.

When Wei Zheng got the paper, his hands were shaking!

He knows what it means to be so cheap on paper!

With such cheap paper, Datang's culture and education will reach its peak!

As for whether to make money or not, Wei Zheng really didn't care.

"Lang Jun, as long as this paper is on the market, we will make at least a few hundred profits." The messenger said excitedly.

When Wei Zheng heard this, he said angrily: "Vulgar, how can such things that benefit the country and the people be measured by money? Tomorrow it will be sold at the original price, and the old man will not make this money! ”

"This ......," the person who reported the news said helplessly, "Lang Jun, the Ming court has confessed, and the price of paper must not be less than ten cents per knife."

Before leaving, His Royal Highness King Ming personally sent someone to say that the price was already very low, and if it was lower, it would not be a good thing. ”

He didn't tell a lie, Li Chengqian knew Wei Zheng's personality too well, and in order not to be disturbed by this guy, he did send someone to explain.

How smart is Wei Zheng?

After a little pondering, he understood the deep meaning of Li Chengqian, and said immediately: "In this way, it will be sold according to the arrangement of His Royal Highness King Ming." ”

After speaking, Wei Zheng was a little speechless and stopped, and the person who reported the news was also the old man in his house, and immediately said: "Xiao Langjun is all right, His Royal Highness personally sent Xiao Langjun and Xiao Langjun of the Duke of Wu to the Ming Dynasty to study." ”

Nodding, Wei Zheng didn't speak.

How could he not care about his son? It's just that fatherly love is never on the lips.

Chi Jingde, the Duke of Wu, went to the mansion, and the person who reported the news also returned.

Compared with Wei Zheng's emotion, Wei Chi Jingde laughed again and again, and said, "Hahaha, it's really a good business!"

Damn, during this time, I have been ridiculed by those guys for the old man will only lose, this time, the old man wants them to see, what is called business! ”

He doesn't have as many things as Wei Zheng, he has always had something to say, and even Li Er and the ministers of civil and military affairs have nothing to do with him.

To say, he made the most money in this business, after all, he threw away all the cash in his family with a big hand, but no one expected such a big return.

Of course, some people are happy and some are sad.

The eldest grandson Wuji is so depressed that he is dying of depression at this moment!

He didn't expect Li Chengqian to come up with such a lucrative thing.

"How many goods have you picked up?"

He reportedly said: "As far as the Wei family and the Wei Chi family get the most, the two of them have raised at least five hundred orders, and the rest are about the same, and our eldest grandson family only raised more than one hundred orders this time."

Lang Jun, did the Wei family and the Wei Chi family receive the letter a long time ago, otherwise why would they take advantage of the benefits. ”

"You're thinking too much." The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and said, "You can say that Wei Zheng is pedantic, or you can say that he is stubborn, but you have no reason to criticize him for his conduct."

As for Wei Chi Jingde, this old thing is crazy alone, if he had already gotten such news, he would have been shouting when he was squeezed by those scholars during this time. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is a person, yin is yin, bad is bad, but you can't deny that this old thing does have two brushes.

"Alright, let's go get ready." The eldest grandson Wuji continued, "During this period of time, we, the noble families, have indeed held back the fire in their stomachs, and it's time to put out the fire. ”

The one who reported the news did not leave, but said: "Lang Jun, the business of this Ming royal court is indeed promising. When I was in Sun Moon Mountain, the shopkeeper found out that those people in Sun Moon Mountain did not have the ability to buy, but we could not provide the corresponding goods, and the shopkeeper asked me to come back early to ask Lang Jun's opinion. ”

"You don't need to ask the old man about this kind of thing, and the old man doesn't have time to take care of business matters." The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand.

Although he was at home, he did not do the business of a merchant.

That night, such a scene happened in the homes of many nobles in Chang'an.

They didn't expect that the business that they thought was empty for bamboo baskets could still make money, and it was a lucrative business, which made everyone excited.

Who is afraid of having a lot of money?

And it's earned by skill!

Reasonable and legal!

Besides, those scholars have been mocking them a lot recently, although they don't dare to ridicule them directly, but the pretending to ask for warmth is even more angry.

Originally, everyone was holding their breath, but now it's okay, I have to let them see it!

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, May 15.

This is definitely a day that will be remembered by all who read books!

Because today, in countless shops in Chang'an City, an extremely cheap paper has been introduced.

Prices range from 10 to 20 wen.

Like Wei Zheng's family, if there is no shop, he sells it on the street, and he is not bullied.

However, in order to allow more readers to buy such cheap paper, Wei Zheng limited each person to only two dollars.

And a shop like the eldest grandson's family is priced at 20 Wen, even if it is twice as expensive as Wei Zheng's family, there are still people who come to buy it in an endless stream.

Wang Dequan sat in his own shop, listening to the situation that the guys inquired from everywhere, and when he heard this, he sneered: "Send someone to inform these shops that those whose paper prices are higher than those of Changming shops will lose the qualification to pick up the goods again."

At the same time, the paper in our store was also put out, and the price was 12 wen. ”

His purpose in Chang'an was to limit the price of paper.

He didn't know what His Highness wanted to do, but he knew that his task was to perfectly carry out the task assigned to him by His Highness.

When the guy heard this, he immediately laughed and ran out.

When the eldest grandson's family heard the news, they were also stunned.

But there is no other way at the moment, after seeing the madness in the market, who wants to make a hammer deal?

In just an instant, the price of paper in many shops fell back to ten wen.

And those who bought high-priced paper in advance, the shops also made up the difference for them.

In this respect alone, the merchants of today are much stronger than the merchants of later generations.

Although it is said that businessmen seek profits, in this era, businessmen without integrity will not go far.

"Why are you still queuing up at the Changming shop?" Someone saw their friend queuing up outside the Changming shop, and immediately said, "Let's go, Chang'an is the most expensive in their Changming shop, and the other shops have unified the price, ten wen and one knife, and they still sell twelve wen here, which is simply blackhearted." ”

"Really?" The man asked incredulously.

"Of course it's true, let's go quickly, why don't you save two pennies? Do you have to let these black-hearted businessmen make money to be comfortable? ”

"Let's go and go somewhere else." When the people heard this, they immediately withdrew.

To say, the one who made this ten-penny paper famous has to be Wei Zhengjia.

There is no way, and his family has no shops, so he has to sell them on the street.

And when those guys all walked towards Wei Zheng's stall, they were surprised to find that many shops had paper for sale, and its price was also ten cents a knife.

But in one hour, the entire Chang'an City was boiling!

As the most prosperous city-state today, such cheap paper still doesn't let everyone explode?

Although it is smaller than the previous paper and the fineness is a little worse, it is cheaper!

Just one is cheap, which can make people ignore its many drawbacks.

"Shopkeeper, ...... here" Seeing the guests who were still in a long queue just now scolding and leaving, the guy felt extremely aggrieved.

However, Wang Dequan smiled and said nothing.

Pretty good.

The Changming shop itself did not want to make money from the sale of paper, and the reason why it did so was just to set a benchmark for the price of paper.

Besides, how much does it offend people to sell this thing?

It's better to let those noble families offend.

Anyway, when the money is in Sun Moon Mountain, everything that should be earned will be earned.

"It doesn't matter, let them go." After speaking, Wang Dequan returned to the store and drank tea leisurely.

And with the popularity of paper in Chang'an City, those scholars who realized it later finally received the news.

At first, everyone didn't care, after all, the color of this paper is too different, who would use this kind of paper?

But soon, everyone realized that something was wrong.

It's not for the supply of those who have status and status!

This discovery stunned everyone.

For this reason, Wang Shilang, Cui Yushi and others also went to the street to take a look.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

I saw that many people on the street were going home with a knife or two knives of paper and a smile on their faces.

Occasionally, a peasant woman can be seen carrying a knife of paper, and her mouth keeps saying, "Now my children can read!" ”

"How many people, do you want to buy paper?" Just when they were stunned, someone came up and said, "It's just new, don't look at the color, it's a little worse, but it's cheaper, fifteen dollars and one knife, Tong Su is not bullied!" ”

"Everyone else only sells ten wen in their stores!" Wang Shilang said angrily.

The man didn't panic, and immediately said, "Don't you look at how long the line is?" With this arrangement, you can't see what this paper looks like until noon? We made this out of a lot of effort. ”

Wang Shilang was about to speak, Cui Yushi waved his hand, took out fifteen pieces and threw them over.

The man accepted the money, immediately handed Cui Yushi a piece of paper, and then went to find the next buyer.

"A knife of paper, fifteen cents, that's it, it's still a price increase!" Cui Yushi shook his head and said, "This is to cut the roots of our Shi clan!" ”

"No, we'll go to them for a theory!" Wang Shilang said, "Selling paper so cheaply, destroying the market, how can those paper manufacturers survive!"

How could a group of court dignitaries do such a despicable thing! ”

"What do they do?" The Zheng family said, "Ten cents a knife, I want to see how much money they can pay!" Since they dare to sell, we dare to buy! Inform the people of each family, all go to the queue, they have as much as we want! ”

When Wang Shilang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled up his fingers and calculated: "Yes, yes, at this price, the money has always been able to buy it for a hundred dollars, and a family can pay a thousand yuan, which will definitely make these guys lose their money!" ”

"Yes, yes, after all, the cost is there, we have to see how much money they have to pay!" Immediately someone spoke again.

And at this moment, Wei Chi Jingde, who was strolling on the street, saw this group of people and immediately came over.

Why is he on the street today?

Isn't it just to find these people's bad luck?

"Yo, how many of you are here to buy paper?" Wei Chi Jingde immediately said, "Come and come, go to a certain shop, they are all colleagues who are ministers in the same hall, how can the old man let you line up, how many do you want, say the number!" ”

If you want to talk about this kind of thing, Wei Chi Jingde can do it, and the rest of the people have business even if they have people in their families, but who will be as loud as Wei Chi Jingde?

Doing business is not a glorious thing!

"Wu Guogong is fast talking." Wang Shilang said, "It just so happens that the younger generation in the family is about to enter school, and I do have the idea of purchasing some paper, I don't know how much Wu Guogong can come up with?" ”

Wei Chi Jingde said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how much I have, just say how much you want." ”

"As much as Wu Guogong has, there will be as many officials as he wants." Wang Shilang sneered in his heart.

Losing money and making money, you are still in a hurry to deliver it to the door.

Hearing Wang Shilang say this, Wei Chi Jingde pretended to hesitate and said: "If this is the case, a knife can be sold for twelve dollars." ”

"Wu Guogong is joking, right?" Wang Shilang laughed angrily, "This retail is only ten wen, why do the lower officials want to buy Wu Guogong's twelve?" ”

Wei Chi Jingde also smiled and said: "Although the old man doesn't know how to do business, the old man also knows that the longer the paper is sold, the more beneficial it will be to the old man."

Why do you think you have to limit one person to only two dollars? ”

Wei Chi Jingde is not stupid, of course he knows that these guys think they are losing money and making money, so don't pick them up fiercely, who makes these guys always yin and yang weird recently.

As soon as they heard him say this, everyone instantly understood.

These guys want to use this paper to drive the business of their own shops, so the price is acceptable.

"If that's the case, then according to what Wu Guogong said." Wang Shilang smiled heartily, "It's really not easy for this big family to support their family." ”

Hehe?

Wei Chi Jingde didn't say much, and after giving an order to his entourage, it was over.

And the same is true of Wang Shilang.

Business, you still need them to do it themselves.

After finishing his work, Wei Chi Jingde said with a smile: "The old man said goodbye first, if you want paper in the future, you can also find the old man." ”

After saying this, he was very happy, because Li Chengqian had said hello, his Wei Chi family and Wei family picked up the goods and did not have a deposit, only went out for 500 yuan, but after a month's work, he actually earned twice as much, what was he unhappy about?

"Wu Guogong still has it?" Wang Shilang was a little unconvinced.

Are you still ready to lose so much?

Wei Chi Jingde smiled: "Not for the time being, after a while, there will be more after a while." ”

After speaking, Wei Chi Jingde planned to leave.

And as soon as he stepped forward, he heard Wang Shilang whisper to the people around him: "They really want to continue to do this loss-making deal?" ”

"Losing money?" Wei Chi Jingde, who was just about to leave, stopped when he heard this, turned around and said, "Do you think the old man will make a loss-making deal?" ”

"A dozen dollars of paper is not a loss-making deal?" Wang Shilang shook his head and said, "Xia Guan knows that Wu Guogong is an invincible general on the battlefield, but this business is not brave. ”

Wei Chi Jingde's mouth was about to twitch, he knew that these guys would have such a face, but he was not angry, and immediately said: "Wang Shilang, if the old man is you, I will send someone to the Ming Palace."

Do you know what the selling price of a knife paper in the Ming Dynasty is? Still trading at a loss? How do you compare to the eldest grandson Mowgli? Is he willing to sell it for ten dollars a knife? Do you still think it's a loss-making deal?

What do you mean by that?

The frog at the bottom of the well, sit in the well and watch the sky!

The old man told you the truth, the selling price of a knife paper in the Ming Dynasty was six Wen! Just six texts, this business, the old man earned you 500 yuan inside and out! You even mock the old man for not knowing how to do business!

Laughing to death! ”

Yu Chi Jingde, that's a smug!

Finally, there is a chance to reveal this reserve price to these shameless guys.

This pass really made him angry!

"How much?" Wang Shilang was stunned.

Wei Chi Jingde said with a smile: "Liuwen, Tong Su is not bullied!" Hahaha! ”

After saying that, he threw his arms and left.

As for whether Wang Shilang will send someone to catch up and not buy his paper, then he doesn't care, anyway, being angry is more important than making money.

When Lieutenant Chi Jingde walked away, everyone froze in place.

Six pennies!

This price is simply a huge profit!

"No, we have to stop it!" Wang Shilang said, "This is such a cheap paper, how can those paper workshops in Datang live!" ”

He did not mention the benefits of this cheap paper to the world's scholars, nor did he mention that the appearance of this cheap paper would break their monopoly on knowledge.

Readers, the truth is in their mouths.

"Yes, we have to play, let everyone play and fold, and ask for an explanation for those who rely on the paper workshop to support their families!" Someone immediately said.

Six pennies!

Liuwen couldn't even buy a big piece of paper, so as a result, Liuwen sold it directly!

If these six-dollar pieces of paper were sold all over the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many people would copy books day and night.

Yes, you heard it right, most of the books in these years were copied!

I can't afford it!

Before the advent of such cheap paper, you couldn't even copy it!

For a while, everyone was worried.

They never imagined that this small piece of paper would shake Chang'an.

After a short time, they went home and contacted everyone, and began to play a crazy song.

In less than the afternoon, Li Er's desk was once again overwhelmed by a mountain of music.

Seeing these movements, Li Er smiled.

He also knew the specific situation, and Fang Xuanling had already reported the matter to him.

It was only at this time that he felt that the eldest grandson was right.

On top of business, these scholars have no qualifications to fight with Li Chengqian at all, and they just throw out a piece of paper, which makes the scholars like a great enemy.

"Chuan Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde...... Tai Chi Hall Proceedings. Li Er casually ordered, and someone immediately left the palace.

"Chang'an, it's time to be lively again." Li Er said with a smile.
