Chapter 281

Fan county is a little far away, so on the third day of departure, song Yancai returned with the money and food from fan County Treasury.

With the money and food of two counties, there is no need to worry about food and military pay for at least three months.

At the same time, song Yan ordered song Xiu to set up a caravan two days ago. The main products for sale were all kinds of books bound by movable type printing machines and paper that could be used for writing and painting.

The price of ordinary paper is one yuan, while that of good inkstone paper is 100 yuan.

After eight days of trekking, the caravan came to Shangdang County, the state of Chu.

Among the Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao and Qin States, the Qi state was the most perished, the culture of Chu state was the most prosperous, the cavalry of Yan state was the most powerful, the armor of Zhao state was rich in all kinds of weapons, as for Qin state, the most famous one was a woman who could change her ways.

Jiang Kui, the leader of the caravan, is a very intelligent man.

After entering Shangdang County, instead of selling books and buying paper at the market, he planned to visit the dean of Jixia school Palace first.

Jixia academic palace is the most prosperous place of literary style in Chu state and even in Shenzhou mainland.

Its president, Mr. Mofei, is also known as the first poet in mainland China. Therefore, even the king of Chu should treat him with courtesy.

It's not easy to see Murphy. It took Jiang Kui enough money to get through the relationship before he saw Murphy.

"What is this?"

Looking at the brocade box presented by Jiang Kui, he was very unhappy. He was a man who cherished his reputation and did not like to receive gifts from others.

"Don't misunderstand Mr. Mo," Jiang kuilen said, "this brocade box contains a Book of poetry, which records more than 200 poems."

Smell speech, Mo Fei revealed the color of doubt, how can a small brocade box hold more than 200 poems.

With such a trace of curiosity, I could not but take the brocade box and open it.

Suddenly, it was a book with a light yellow cover, with the words "book of songs" written in small seal script.

He picked up the thin book of songs and opened it. The white and black characters and the extremely neat typeface were printed into his eyes. He was originally plain, and his expression became extremely excited.

Turning the pages continuously, they are all the same black and white characters, and the recorded content is the book of songs.

"Here, what is it made of?" Asked Murphy in a trembling voice.

Jiang Kui said proudly, "Mr. Hui, this paper was invented by my general!" While talking, he offered another thing with his hands.

"And what is it?"

Holding the snow white, smooth paper, Murphy asked again.

"It's called inkstone paper. It's specially used for a scholar like Mr. Shi to leave ink treasures."

Jiang Kui explained.

"Good! Good! Good! " He could not help but praise loudly: "how to make this thing."

"Mr. Hui, the general of my family sent someone to make this thing. I don't know what it was made of!"

He was disappointed and asked, "how much is it?"

"Mr. Hui, this time I brought two million pieces of white paper, 100000 pieces of inkstone paper, and thousands of books of various kinds bound into volumes."

"How much is the value?" Could it not be that his eyes brightened and his tone was urgent.

Jiang Kui respectfully said: "before leaving, my general has an order. If you are a literary magnate like Sir, you can buy one piece of ordinary white paper, one piece of inkstone paper, and one book of books of all the scholars' classics."

"Good! Very good. I bought the paper and the scriptures from Jixia school! "

Two million pieces of white paper, one for one, totaling two million yuan, ten thousand pieces of inkstone paper, one for one hundred yuan, totaling one million yuan, a thousand times the amount of money collected by various scholars, totaling one million yuan.

That is to say, the total income this time is 4 million yuan.

All the people who can enter Jixia school are the sons of princes and ministers. Therefore, Jixia school is quite rich. Millions of money is only a drizzle.

After delivering the paper and books to Jixia Academy, Jiang Kui received 4 million yuan after the handover.

When he had four million dollars, he ordered his men to take the money to buy food.

Nowadays, the price of grain is higher than that of a year. It costs about four yuan per liter of corn, four million yuan, to buy one million liters of corn.

A million liters of corn is not a small amount. It will not be available for a while.

It took nearly ten days for a million liters of millet to buy all the rice. In these ten days, the paper also caused a sensation in Shangdang County of Chu state.

Before the appearance of paper, the carrier of writing was bamboo slips. A bamboo slip cost about five yuan, and the expensive one was white silk. All the nobles could afford silk.

Therefore, after the emergence of paper, which is cheap and easy to carry, it has become popular in Shangdang County in just ten days.

And Jiang Kui, the paper merchant, is also famous, and receives numerous people's visits every day.

And signed tens of millions of white paper and hundreds of thousands of inkstone paper orders.

Jiang Kui signed a large order in the party, and Linshui county is also stepping up the production of ordinary white paper and inkstone paper.At the same time, the 30000 troops led by Gu min, together with the auxiliary forces and civilian men, came to Yi'an county.

After reaching Yi'an County, Gu min's tens of thousands of troops only had enough food for three days. When he asked for food from Hetai, the other side opened the storehouse directly.

Looking at the empty storehouse, Gu min is stupid.

No food, how can there be no food.

Gu min is furious. He orders people to take Hetai down on the spot. Then he interrogates where Hetai's grain has gone, and sends people to fan county to ask for grain.

That night, Hetai and also personally escorted hundreds of cars of money and grain out of the city, which could not stand investigation.

Therefore, in just one day, Gu min made it clear that Hetai had sent food to the state of Qi.

After learning the news, Gu min was furious. Just when he was about to give the order to kill Hetai and Yexian, song Yan appeared.

Then he enslaved Gu min and the nine soldiers with the puppet magic.

Later, like Zhao Yan, Gu min had a great purge of the army, killing all the diehards loyal to Zhao, and then led the army to the state of Qi.

The number of Qi's soldiers increased from 26000 to 56000.

The soldiers without blood took 30000 troops. Song Xiu and Shen Du were more awed by song Yan, and Meng Bozhao was more respectful.

Song Yan also took the opportunity to take the whole territory of Yi'an county and fan county.

In this way, the three counties can each form a corner to jointly resist the enemy.

For ordinary Qi civilians, it's a joy and encouragement to have the territory of three counties, but for song Yan, it's a worry. More three counties means more people to eat with him.

Fortunately, shortly after winning 30000 troops, Jiang Kui came back with a million liters of grain.

Along came some merchants from Shangdang county.

Jiang Kui's return made song Yan very happy and rewarded the whole caravan.

What's more exciting for him is that the businessmen who come back with him need to buy paper.

For this reason, song Yan also personally met these businessmen and sold 2 million plain white papers and 100000 inkstone papers to each of them. In total, he sold 22 million plain white papers and 1.1 million inkstone papers.

The income reached 33 million yuan.

But after meeting these merchants, song Yan asked that if he wanted to trade next time, he would have to exchange grain for five pieces of ordinary white paper per liter of corn.

After the sales of paper opened up in Chu state, song Yan ordered Jiang Kui to take the caravan to Qin state, and arranged another two caravans to Yan state and Zhao state.

After the caravan set out, song Yan further expanded the paper mill, because the current paper mill can only support the sales volume of Chu state. If the sales volume of Yan state and Zhao state is opened, the output will not keep up with the sales volume.
