Three days later,

In the Zhangtai Palace again, there were only three people, Ying Zichu, Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei.

"The king, the prince, this is the latest research on the type of paper, the minister named it the best Hetian, the upper grade Lantian, the middle grade Jingbai, and the lower grade straw paper."

Looking at the four completely different and distinct pieces of paper in front of Lu Buwei, even if it was Yingzheng, he was slightly shocked.

This world is still a little different from the world he imagined, and in just three days, Lü Buwei actually studied raw Xuan, cooked Xuan, and half-cooked Xuan paper.

There's even an extra piece of straw paper.

Looking at the white and smooth paper in front of him, to the rough and yellowed paper, it is like today's strict hierarchy,

After looking at it, Ying Zichu said in a deep voice: "If Lu Xiang has any ideas, you can say it directly." ”

"The king, the best Hetian: pure white and full of fire, even able to reflect the shadow of a person, strong ink absorption, the minister plan is exclusively for the royal family."

"Top-grade Lantian: The paper is slightly yellowed, has no finish, the ink absorption is not strong or weak, and the ministers plan to be exclusive to the nobles of various countries."

"Zhongpin Jingbai: the paper is yellowed obviously, the ink absorption is weak, and the minister plans to be exclusive to the small nobles of various countries."

"The lower grade straw paper, the whole body is yellowish and very rough, easy to break, and the ink absorption is weak, and the minister plans to sell it exclusively for the princes of various countries and sell it publicly."

Lü Buwei said his thoughts, and then said in a low voice: "Today's Kyushu vassal states, except for my Great Qin and no nobles, the other countries are all nobles and powerful. ”

"Sell the best to the royal family, the upper and middle grades to the nobles, and the lower grades to the princes of the current dynasty and sell them publicly, so that the grade of the paper will become a status symbol for other vassal states."

"The best is for the royal family, and those big nobles must be unwilling, because they think that their status is above everything else, and they will inevitably quarrel with the royal family, and the royal family will choose to be faceless and uncompromising, so that there will be a gap between the royal family and the nobles."

"The sale of inferior products and the princes of the current dynasty and public sales, those noble princes naturally disdain, but in every vassal state, there will always be those princes who do not have noble status."

"In this way, the princes of various countries who have outstanding abilities and no status will also be dissatisfied with the nobles, and the royal family will naturally win over these people."

"The reason why other vassal states are difficult today is that the interests of the royal family and the nobility are inseparable, but if there is a rift between them, there is an opportunity to provoke infighting."

"The minister also decided to ban the sale of the best, high-grade, and medium-grade families, if the family can be involved, it will be a three-way fight."

Speaking of which,

Lu Buwei put his left hand on his right hand and said, "When the time comes, the king's grand wish to unify Kyushu will be just around the corner." ”

"Lu Xiang deserves to be the right-hand man of this king."

Ying Zichu seemed to see the internal strife of the countries, and said with a smile: "The top priority now is to vigorously produce paper, and when the opportunity comes, Lu Xiang will act according to the plan." ”

Ying Zheng on the side also understood the stakes in an instant,

This is an era of high hierarchies, an era of supreme identity.

The royal family and aristocratic hierarchy that are now popular have been handed down from the Zhou Dynasty, so people are accustomed to it.

And the emergence of paper is to challenge this rule, after all, no one wants to be left behind.

And those families who have a long tradition think that they are higher than the royal family, how can they be willing to use the lowest straw paper?

Unless they don't use them all, as long as one family takes the best paper away from the royal family, the other families will definitely not stand idly by.

Originally, it was just a commodity, but Lü Buwei completed the symbol of identity, the bane of civil strife,

This Lu Buwei's method is indeed terrifying!

Thinking of this,

Ying Zheng added with a smile: "But paper production is not difficult, and confidentiality must not be neglected." ”

"The prince can rest assured that the ministers will separate the steps of paper production, and no one will see each other at each step, and the ministers have asked for orders, and they will be guarded by the Du Wei army, and no one is allowed to enter and leave at will."

After Lu Buwei finished speaking, he was silent for a moment and then said: "The most important thing to guard against now is the Mo family, the Mo family is famous for its tricks in Kyushu, and there is no shortage of first-class warlocks in it, if they are ......"

After hearing this, Yingzi Chu said domineeringly: "You don't have to worry about the Mo family, this king will warn them, at least within three years, the Mo family will not dare to stretch out their hands." ”

"In that case, the minister is relieved."

"Lu Xiang, can you think about how to price the paper?"

"Back to the king, the best one or two pieces of silver, the top grade five hundred yuan, the middle grade two hundred yuan, the lower grade ten yuan, as for the profit is currently immeasurable, it depends on the amount required by each country."

The paper size set by Lü Buwei was about 1.5 meters long and 1 meter wide, and they bought it back and cut it according to their needs.

"If the king has no other requirements, the minister will go back and deploy first."

"It's really my great Qin's luck to have Lu Xiang's help."

"The king praises falsely, and the minister retires first."

After Lu Buwei left, Ying Zichu looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Zheng'er, you don't want to go to Zhangtai Palace in the near future, go back to the house and practice hard, and strive to enter the third rate as soon as possible." ”

"Father, son, obey."

Although I don't know why Ying Zichu suddenly changed his mind, Ying Zheng still obeyed the other party's order.

It's just that he didn't rush back to his house, but went to Lingyan Pavilion.

……

Lingyange,

"Jingyangjun, this time I'm the winner, today's lunch, but I'm going to bother Jingyangjun to do it himself."

Before he reached the backyard, Ying Zheng heard Wei Ran laughing loudly.

"Hou Hou, Ben Hou was going to win, but your smile scared Ben Hou's fish away, so you lost this time."

When Yingfu's slightly scoundrel voice sounded, Wei Ran's laughter came to an abrupt end.

When Yingzheng came to the backyard, he saw the two high-ranking and powerful people sitting on both sides of the pavilion, one east and one west, glaring at each other angrily.

If this scene spreads, I am afraid that their status in the hearts of everyone will completely collapse.

"The two of you are good Yaxing."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he gestured and walked towards the pavilion, while Ji Kong and Zhao Lu stood by the door of the backyard and did not follow.

Ying Fu saw him coming, and said with a smile: "Oh? Should this marquis call you Gongzizheng or Prince Zheng now? ”

"Prince Ben never cares about the title, Jingyangjun is casual."

Ying Zheng came to Wei Ran, took the fish in his hand, and threw it into the artificial lake, but Wei Ran did not look angry at all.

Looking at the obvious lack of fish, Ying Zheng said lightly: "Two, is it the fish fragrance of Chudi, or is the fish from my Qindi delicious?" ”

Wei Ran shook the fishing rod in his hand, and said in a calm tone: "Whether Jingyang Jun and I can eat Chudi fish or Qindi fish depends on the mood of the prince." ”

But Ying Fu pursed his lips, looked at Ying Zheng meaningfully and said: "Although the fish is the fish of Chudi, it always lacks the unique taste of Chudi." ”

Wei Ran's pupils shrank slightly after hearing this, and the fishing line hanging on the surface of the lake swayed, creating a circle of ripples.

But Ying Zheng said expressionlessly: "If you want to go fishing in Chudi, you have to see Jingyang Jun's heart, and he is no longer in my Daqin." ”
