Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Regarding Zhao Che's previous remarks, Ying Zheng also had his own plans.

Xuan paper must be promoted to the whole Daqin. Only by reducing the cost of knowledge can Daqin produce more talents.

Not only that, when the heads of Guizhou also had the opportunity to study, Daqin no longer had to worry about the constraints of those gentry.

"The widows have the art of making paper, and the martial arts have the art of smelting iron. Why is it that the Great Qin is not strong?"

Ying Zheng, who got the papermaking technology, was obviously very satisfied.

"Father, although you already have an idea, I still have to remind you that papermaking is definitely not suitable for large-scale promotion, otherwise you will become a thorn in the side of those gentry, and you may be exposed in advance Us, this is not good for our rebellion plan!"

Before Ying Zheng had time to be happy for a long time, Zhao Che's words broke his defense again.

This kid knows that he is thinking about a rebellion every day, doesn't he have other pursuits?
"If this papermaking technique cannot be promoted on a large scale, what is the use of it?"

Anyway, Yingzheng is now fighting with Zhao Che.

This papermaking technique, he has promoted it, even if Jesus came, he would not be able to keep it, Ying Zheng said.

"Father, why are you so dead-headed? Who said that papermaking must be promoted on a large scale to be useful?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Of course it is to make money. Does papermaking cost nothing? The manufacturing cost is small, and the most important thing is the research and development cost. It took me many years and the manager worked so hard to research it. Let the cost be recovered in advance. Is there a problem?"

"no problem!"

Ying Zheng nodded subconsciously.

"You mean, we can sell this rice paper to those gentry at a high price first, and then spread it to many heads of Guizhou at a low price when the cost is almost recovered?"

"Yes, exactly!"

"But in this way, isn't it very unfair to those gentry? They are afraid that they will make trouble."

As an emperor, although Ying Zheng didn't like the existence of a group like the gentry, it didn't mean that he had much hatred for the gentry.

After all, with Ying Zheng's identity and ability, even the most arrogant gentry had to be obedient under his command.

In any case, these people have made a lot of contributions to Daqin. Zhao Che's move inevitably has some elements of killing donkeys.

"Isn't that easy?"

Zhao Che chuckled, seeing Ying Zheng did not understand modern people's business thinking.

"Dad, think about it, the promotion of papermaking always takes some time, right? Although we have the ability to promote papermaking, we deliberately suppress it, and the leaders of the Great Qin Dynasty are still out of reach for the time being. "

"As for the gentry, firstly, they are rich, and secondly, they also need rice paper more, so we sell rice paper to them in advance, so that they can feel the charm of rice paper first, isn't this a kind of privilege?"

"Besides, rice paper can also be divided into grades. The top-notch rice paper is the one I gave you. The paper is white, tough, smooth, and does not bleed ink. The cost of this kind of rice paper is naturally higher. .”

"You sell rice paper according to the grading method. The most high-grade rice paper is slightly more expensive, two yuan a piece, the next grade, one yuan a piece, and worse, for example, the quality of the straw paper is similar to that. Ten pieces of money."

"As for how much they are willing to spend, that is their freedom. Isn't that fair?"

……

Ying Zheng rubbed his chin, thinking about what Zhao Che said.

According to his method, it is indeed an explanation to those gentry.

Anyway, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

The quality and level of rice paper are different, and the price is also different.

I also didn't force you to buy the most expensive rice paper, if you don't care, you can use the cheapest straw paper.

"This method is feasible, so follow this method!"

Ying Zheng thought for a while before agreeing to Zhao Che's suggestion.

After returning back, pass on the papermaking technique, so that people can produce various grades of paper as soon as possible.

The profit of rice paper is much larger than that of refined salt. With this thing, Daqin's finances can be eased again.

"By the way, I almost forgot the business!"

Ying Zheng and Zhao Che had a good chat, and then it occurred to him that he had to ask him for help when he was here this time.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"It's about iron smelting and salt making. I've already sent someone to make it according to your method, but for some reason, the quality of it is not the same as the one you took out."

"I see!"

Zhao Che nodded.

Both iron smelting and salt making were carried out according to the methods of later generations, which also involved a lot of chemical and physical knowledge.

The ancients didn't know what science is, so it was difficult for them to understand its mysteries.

"Then what is the approximate level of the refined iron and refined salt that you guys are producing now?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng pondered for a while and replied.

"Refined iron, compared with ordinary bronze, has greatly improved in terms of toughness and sharpness, but compared with yours, there is still some gap."

"As for the refined salt, it is basically very fine now, removing the bitterness in the previous salt, and it has no toxicity, but the quality is not as fine as the white snow that you gave me. "

"I have also seen the iron smelting technique and the salt making technique. There are many words in it, which I have never heard of, so I came here to ask you."

……

Zhao Che nodded. In fact, his father's ability to produce finished products in such a short period of time was beyond his expectations.

However, there is still a long way to go in order to truly achieve the quality that he brought out.

"Father, in fact, I think it is enough to reach this level. You can temporarily produce and promote it on a large scale. If you want to reach my level, you have to learn scientific knowledge from scratch. This is not something that can be learned in a short time. of."

"Scientific knowledge? What kind of knowledge is this?"

"Science, you can understand, is actually an explanation of all the rules between heaven and earth. Everything in this world can be explained by science, such as wind, rain, lightning, mountains and rivers!"

"Hiss! This science is so terrifying?"

Ying Zheng gasped and exclaimed.
