Peach Fortune Ring

At the same time, the caravan set up by Song Yan ordered Song Xiu to set off two days ago. The main products for sale are various books bound into volumes printed by movable type printing machines, as well as paper that can be used for writing and drawing.

Ordinary paper is priced at 100 yuan a piece, while high-quality inkstone paper is priced at [-] yuan a piece.

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

Among Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao and Qin, the Qi State that perished has the largest area, the Chu State has the most prosperous writing style, the Yan State has the most cavalry and the strongest cavalry, Zhao State is rich in all kinds of weapons and armor, and Qin State is most famous for having a woman who can reform .

Jiang Kui, the leader of the caravan, is a very thoughtful person.

After entering Shangdang County, instead of going to the market to sell books and buy paper, he planned to visit Mo Fei, the dean of Jixia Academy.

Jixia Academy is the place where the literary style is most prosperous in Chu State and even on the mainland of China.

Its dean, Mr. Mo Fei, is even known as the number one poet in mainland China, so even the king of Chu has to treat him with courtesy.

It was not easy to meet Mo Fei, it took a whole gold, and Jiang Kui got through the relationship and met Mo Fei.

"what is this?"

Looking at the brocade box presented by Jiang Kui, could it be that he was very displeased, he is a person who cherishes his reputation very much, and he doesn't like to accept gifts from others.

Jiang Kui hurriedly said: "Mr. Mo, don't misunderstand, what is contained in this brocade box is a book of poems, and more than two hundred poems are recorded in this book of songs."

Hearing this, could it be that he was puzzled, how could a small brocade box hold more than 200 poems.

With such a hint of curiosity, Could Fei take the brocade box and open it.

Immediately stunned, it was a book with a light yellow cover, with the word "Book of Songs" written in small seal script.

Picking up this thin Book of Poetry and flipping it open, the black characters in white and the extremely neat fonts came into view. His expression, which was originally plain, became extraordinarily excited.

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

"This, what is this made of?" Mo Fei asked with a trembling voice.

Jiang Kui proudly said: "Mr. Hui, this piece of paper was invented by my general!" While speaking, he offered another thing with both hands.

"What is this?"

Holding the snow-white, smooth paper, Could Fei ask again.

"This is called inkstone paper, and it is specially used for great literati like Mr. to leave ink treasures."

Jiang Kui explained.

"Good! Good! Good!" After looking at it for a while, Mo Fei couldn't help but praise: "How to make this thing."

"Mr. Hui, this thing was made by my general, and the little one doesn't know what it was made of!"

Could it be that he was a little disappointed, and then asked: "How much is this thing?"

"Mr. Hui, this time I brought 200 million sheets of blank paper, [-] sheets of inkstone paper, and a thousand volumes of all kinds of book-bound collections of Buddhist scriptures."

"How much is it worth?" Mo Fei's eyes lit up and he asked urgently.

Jiang Kui said respectfully: "Before I left, my general had an order. If you buy it from a great writer like Mr. Ruo, you can buy ordinary white paper for one yuan, inkstone paper for one hundred yuan, and bound booklets for one thousand yuan. Book."

"Good! Very good, I bought this batch of papers and scriptures from Jixia Academy!"

200 million pieces of white paper cost 200 million coins each, [-] pieces of inkstone paper cost [-] coins each, totaling millions of coins, and a collection of scriptures of thousands of times worth a thousand coins totals millions of coins.

In other words, the total income this time is 400 million yuan.

Those who can enter Jixia Academy to study are the sons of princes and ministers. Therefore, Jixia Academy is quite rich, and several million dollars are just drizzle.

After transporting the paper and books to Jixia Academy, Jiang Kui received 400 million yuan after the handover.

After getting 400 million yuan, he ordered his people to take the money to buy food.

Now wars are raging, and the price of grain is getting higher every year. It is about 400 yuan per liter of corn, and 100 million yuan can buy [-] million liters of corn.

One million liters of corn is not a small amount, and it will not be available for a while.

It took nearly ten days to buy a million liters of corn, and during these ten days, the paper also caused a sensation in Shangdang County of Chu State.

Before the advent of paper, bamboo slips were the cheapest carrier for recording text, and a bamboo slip cost about five yuan, while white silk was the most expensive, and those who could afford silk were all nobles.

Therefore, after the appearance of paper, a cheap and easy-to-carry carrier, it has swept the entire Shangdang County in just ten days.

And Jiang Kui, a paper merchant, has also become famous, receiving countless visits every day.

And signed an order for tens of millions of sheets of white paper and hundreds of thousands of sheets of inkstone paper.

Jiang Kui signed a large order in Shangdang, and Linshui County is also stepping up the production of ordinary white paper and inkstone paper.

At the same time, the 5 army led by Gu Min, together with [-] auxiliary troops and civilian husbands, came to Yi'an County.

After arriving in Yi'an County, the food and grass for the tens of thousands of troops under Gu Min's banner was only enough for three days. When he asked the governor Hetai for food, the other party directly opened the treasury.

Looking at the empty treasury, Gu Min was dumbfounded.

No food, how could there be no food.

Gu Min couldn't help being furious, and ordered people to take Hetai down on the spot, and then interrogated where Hetai's food went, and sent people to Fan County to ask for food.

That night, Hetai and Yexian personally escorted hundreds of carts of money and food out of the city, which could not stand investigation at all.

Therefore, in just one day, Gu Min investigated the whole matter clearly, and Hetai actually sent the food to Qi State.

After hearing the news, Gu Min couldn't help being furious, and 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 military winners with his puppet powers.

Then, like Zhao Yan, Gu Min carried out a major purge of the army, killing all the diehards loyal to Zhao State, and then led the army to defect to Qi State.

And Qi's soldiers also increased from 6000 to 6000.

They won another [-] troops without bloodshed. Song Xiu and Shen Du were more in awe of Song Yan, and Meng Bozhao's attitude was also more respectful.

And Song Yan also took the opportunity to take down the entire territory of Yi'an County and Fan County.

In this way, the three counties can each form a corner to defend against the enemy together.

For the common people of Qi State, having three counties in Qi State is a matter of joy and encouragement, but for Song Yan, it is a troublesome thing. The addition of three counties means that many more people eat with him .

Fortunately, shortly after taking down the [-] army, Jiang Kui returned smoothly with a million liters of grain.

Some businessmen from Shangdang County also came together.
