The fourth-class staff officer was also an officer, and the guards outside the gate of the "Charge Horn" fortress glanced at each other, and immediately separated a few people and stepped forward.

The spring-loaded four-wheeled body is stacked with thin wooden crates, and on top of the hill-like crates is a huge roll of leather that appears to have been carefully processed into brute leather.

These sturdy soldiers moved quickly, moved several boxes to the four-wheeled flatbed, and then followed Li Mubing, the sister of the Li sisters, into the fortress, and the rest of the people continued to help unload the goods until they were emptied.

"What is this, Chief Officer?"

Seeing Li Mubing, the fourth-class staff officer of the Eastern Group, coming over with a flatbed cart, the secretary of the military headquarters fort looked at the thin wooden box on the cart in amazement.

He could guess that this was a shelf to be put into storage, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember anything that needed to be packed like this recently.

"Mr. Macmillan, it's writing paper! There are about two hundred boxes, size A4, 50 packs per box, 100 sheets each, a million sheets in total!"

Click, Li Mubing opened a wooden box as he spoke, and the top and side of the box were equipped with a special tenon lock mechanism, which could be opened with bare hands without tools.

The Clerk of the Fort was in charge of the largest reserve of supplies in the Fort, and most of the people in the military headquarters had to deal with this Macmillan Officer, whether it was to return tools or borrow or receive various supplies.

"A million pieces of writing paper?"

Whether it was a noun or a quantity word spoken by the other party, it made the secretary Macmillan couldn't help but be dizzy.

I watched Li Mubing pull out a package of neatly packaged things from the yellow unknown material from the box, and tear it open casually, revealing the snow-white inside that made him even more dizzy, the layers, pieces of extremely thin things.

"No!A4 size writing paper, the texture is 125 grams. Don't ask me what the A4 and gram weight are, this is the factory specification of the paper mill, you just need to know the way, and the others are 500 dipping pens, 20 barrels of writing ink in two liters, 5,000 pencils, erasers, compasses, rulers, and triangle rulers 50 each. Once the things are ready, I'll give you a list. ”

Li Mubing took out a snow-white rectangular piece of paper from the yellow high-tenacity packaging thick paper, and shook it in front of the secretary, causing the other party to gasp again and again, no, there were even some signs of rolling his eyes.

The cost of paper in this world is extremely high, and the production is very limited, especially the paper product shaking in front of him, the secretary has never seen such a snow-white and slender high-quality paper before.

And then think of the number of a million. Macmillan couldn't help but feel a wild beat in his heart, is the other party going to store a gold mountain?

He clearly saw a faint flickering golden light from the snow-white paper, but he swallowed his saliva, shook his head as if he had made some difficult choice, and said, "No." I can't let you go into storage, and this military department has no procurement plan at all, and it can't afford to purchase it. ”

He was afraid that he would enter the warehouse. He would have to be charged with misuse of public funds.

"You don't have to worry about the price, you only need to be responsible for warehousing and registration, and there is a special person responsible for the rest. ”

Li Mubing naturally saw the secretary's worries. After all, paper is still relatively expensive in this world, especially the number of a million sheets.

"Well, that's okay! Wait!"

The clerk Macmillan's heart was relieved at this time, and he summoned two small officials, accompanied by the guards who helped, and began to enter the warehouse.

On one occasion, a steel flatbed cart that could carry five or six hundred kilograms was assisted, and two hundred boxes of paper were quickly sent to a special warehouse in the fortress, where they were placed with a large amount of parchment.

Carefully holding an abacus in his hand, the clerk carefully and carefully checked it out, and signed the list in quadruplicate, while keeping his own.

Of course, there was one more thing that was not directly put into storage, but was delivered to the office of Lord Adelaide, the Minister of Military Affairs.

The Emperor's Council Hall was not open every day, and the Minister of War happened to be in the office.

"Lord Adelaide!"

Li Muxin and her sister Li Mubing saluted Adelaide together, but it was not a common chest-beating salute in the Silan Empire, but a hand-raising salute from the Earth military.

With a slight American color, he shook his palm neatly and finished the salute.

Because of the inertia of thinking that accepted the new practice of reporting at the door, the salute was also accepted by the military department.

Fresh and practical things are always easy to popularize, and the hand-raising salute is especially loved by civilian officials in the military department, which leads to the clear etiquette of military officials, and it is easy to distinguish the characteristics of each other's duties through etiquette.

"'Heart', 'Ice', I heard that the paper mill has already started, right?"

The royal family purchased writing paper in large quantities, and the military department, as the most closely related department, naturally wanted to take the lead first, and Adelaide had already received a notification from the secretary.

"Yes, my lord, the first batch of standard A4 writing paper, about a million sheets, and a batch of stationery, all have been put into storage, this is the list. ”

The paper that the Li sisters brought to the military department was only part of the royal family's purchase, and the list handed by the elder sister Li Muxin to the military minister was not only the name, specification and quantity of the various items, but also a price figure.

"Five thousand seven hundred and ninety-three gold coins?"

The list with the price figure turned into a bill, but the number still made the Minister of War slightly flustered.

"Lord Adelaide, this price is already the lowest preferential price for government procurement, and it can't be cheaper. ”

As for kickbacks or something, Li Muxin and her sister Li Mubing would not consider it at all, in fact, Qi Fei was even more confident.

Now is the seller's market stage, the seller has the final say, and if you don't reap a lot of profits at this time, when will you wait?!

"No, no, I, I just didn't expect it to be so cheap, I took it as 500,000 gold coins, hehe! But it's really more than 5,000 gold coins?

Adelaide laughed dryly twice to hide his embarrassment, but he couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart.

The bottom line of the price in his mind, 500,000 gold coins to buy a million pieces of high-quality writing paper, this transaction is not a loss, but it is also very favorable.

You must know that whether it is in the Silan Empire or in other empires, it is not easy to think of getting together a million pieces of paper in a short period of time, even if it is a relatively poor quality Mosuo straw paper, not to mention that the Li family sisters provide the best paper of unprecedented quality.

With more than 5,000 gold coins, this price is almost no different from grabbing, which is too unexpected.

"That's right, Lord Adelaide, it's a total of five thousand seven hundred and ninety-three gold coins, and the military department only needs to pay five thousand seven hundred and ninety gold coins!"

Li Muxin nodded lightly and re-quoted the amount of payment, although he erased the three gold coins, he also gave the other party a hint signal that the price did not have too much water.

Sure enough, the thoughts and reactions of the Minister of Military Affairs could not escape the Li sisters' observations and psychological analysis, as Qi Fei expected, this price would definitely make the royal family and the military of the Silan Empire go crazy for this.

Although he made a lot of less gold coins, he was able to exchange for the two big thick legs of the royal family and the military, and in the future, not only writing paper, but also other paper products and even various workshops such as printing workshops would be protected by both.

Even if someone wants to fight these industries in the future, they must first weigh the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor and the Minister of Military Affairs before they start.

Although there is the violent protection of the Royal Dragoon Legion behind Lin Mo, there are times when fists alone can't solve all the problems.

"Okay, you're really not going to lose money? I can pay for it right now. ”

The Minister of Military Affairs thought about the Li family sisters.

"We don't have much to lose, we're honored to serve the Empire, Lord Adelaide, but before that, my sister Bing and I have one more thing to show you. ”

Li Muxin snapped his fingers skillfully.

Two guards of the fortress came in one after the other, carrying a roll of pale yellow objects of extremely long length and extremely thick diameter.

"This is?" Adelaide, the Minister of Military Affairs, was stunned, but when he saw the Li sisters waving away the guards and working together to spread out the scroll, they immediately couldn't help but gasp. (To be continued......)
