The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Under Chen Ziming's guidance, the dark guards spread all over the world in a short time. Wherever there are rangers, there are dark guards. Chen Ziming asked the rangers to take off their obvious clothes and pretend to be civilians, because once the dark guards come out, the rangers will become all The target of the princes.

With the dark guards, the changes of all the princes in the world are quickly sent to Liu Bei and Chen Ziming. Chen Ziming can quickly grasp the changes of the princes in the world and make corresponding arrangements.

"Report!"

"Military Master, my lord is urgent!"

Chen Ziming immediately rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Military officer, Xuzhou Taozhou Shepherd sent a message to Zizhong, asking him to return to Xuzhou immediately, and Zizhong's family will report that there are suspicious people around Mi's house, and they seem to be under surveillance. Tao Gongzu began to suspect Zizhong!"

"Military division, I should return to Xuzhou immediately, the foundation of Xuzhou cannot be destroyed!"

As soon as Chen Ziming entered Liu Bei's study, Liu Bei and Mi Zhu hurriedly told the story.

"My lord, Zizhong doesn't need to worry. I think Zizhong is ready to deal with it. Come on, carry it up!"

Chen Ziming comforted Liu Bei and Mi Zhu, and then yelled outside.

Four big men came in carrying two large boxes, put them in Liu Bei's study, and retreated out.

"Military division, what is this?"

Liu Bei looked at the two big boxes and asked Chen Ziming suspiciously.

"My lord, this is the life-saving thing for me and Zizhong!"

After Chen Ziming finished speaking, he opened the first box, which was filled with rolls of yellow-white rice paper. This is the best paper that can be made at present. The pure white and milky white of later generations cannot be made at all.

"Ah! This is? Paper? Is this the paper made by Lin Jincao?!"

Mi Zhu is an expert, especially in the business of Caihou paper, so he can tell the difference between these papers and Caihou paper at a glance.

"That's right, it's this paper. It's called Xuan paper. It's smooth and can be written on."

After Chen Ziming finished speaking, he took out a roll of paper and put it on Liu Bei's desk, and handed the pen to Mi Zhu.

"I'll try." Mi Zhu hurriedly took the brush, and wrote the word "Xuan Zhi" on the paper. The strokes were smooth and clearly visible.

"it is good!"

Mi Zhu touched the rice paper excitedly. As a businessman, he immediately knew the value and popularity of the rice paper.

"Zizhong, I will give you the right to sell the second paper in Xuzhou, and give you priority in supplying Xuan paper. You should be able to gain Tao Gongzu's trust."

Chen Ziming said confidently to Mi Zhu.

"Okay, but I don't know the cost of this rice paper? What is the output?"

As expected of being born as a businessman, Mi Zhu immediately thought of the key point.

"Zizhong can be at ease, the cost of making a roll of this paper plus labor costs, should be 10 yuan a roll for you. Now the scale of rice paper production is still small, and the output of one thousand rolls a day, give me time, it should be able to produce ten thousand rolls a day, One hundred thousand volumes is fine."

10 renminbi is very cheap, a person can go to an inn for a meal for about 30 renminbi, and ordinary people can make meals at home for less than 10 renminbi.And excluding the material and labor costs, Chen Ziming can earn 5 yuan per roll of paper.It doesn't seem like much, but this is just the beginning. In the future, if we can produce [-] volumes a day, the profit will be very scary.

Moreover, Chen Ziming didn't talk big. Chen Ziming uses a serious assembly line to produce, which is easy to operate and does not require professional craftsmen. Moreover, the scale of the paper mill is still expanding, but it may take a while to produce [-] rolls a day.

The cost is low, and Chen Ziming is unwilling to raise the price of rice paper too high. In the future, rice paper will definitely be popularized, and eventually it will completely replace bamboo books.

Chapter 44 眼放青州

"So, I should thank the military division."

With this rice paper, Mi Zhu can explain to Tao Qian, and he can also gain Tao Qian's trust. After all, Tao Qian's wallet will be able to bulge up a lot more when the rice paper is released, because Mi Zhu must share a part of his business in Xuzhou. For the Lord of Xuzhou.

Otherwise, Mi Zhu would not have the support of his aristocratic family, and secondly, he would not have great power in his hands. With such wealth, if he didn't pay some protection money to the boss, it would be no different from courting death.

"Military division, what is the second box, rice paper?" Liu Bei asked Chen Ziming, pointing to another box that had not been opened.

"Hehe, without it, Shu Er."

Chen Ziming smiled and opened the second box, which was full of books, real books, not bamboo books, bound with rice paper, a book.

Liu Bei and Mi Zhu hurriedly picked up a copy and started to read. The Analects, Laozi, Mozi, etc. are all books of sages.

"This thing is worth ten thousand gold!"

Mi Zhu looked at the box of books excitedly.

"Hehe, Zizhong, don't talk about ten thousand gold, if you buy it for one gold, I will give you as much as you want, hahaha!"

"How can it be? I want ten thousand copies, and the military adviser can take them out?!"

Mi Zhu didn't believe what Chen Ziming said, how could this book be worth a gold coin.You must know that one gold is only about [-] yuan, which is very much for the common people, but for the wealthy businessmen of the clan, [-] yuan is nothing more than a drizzle.

"Haha, just kidding with Zizhong, if Zizhong needs it, I will give you a hundred dollars."

Chen Ziming finally said the price.

"It's absolutely impossible, a hundred dollars, the military adviser said a hundred dollars instead of a million dollars?"

Mi Zhu didn't believe Chen Ziming's price anymore.

"Of course, for a hundred dollars, I will give you as much as Zizhong needs."

Chen Ziming said firmly.

"Why?"

Seeing that Chen Ziming was not joking, Mi Zhu immediately asked why.

"I am also a craftsman to make a thing called the art of printing. As long as I have enough rice paper, I can produce ten thousand copies a day."

In fact, [-] volumes are not enough. If Chen Ziming is willing, he can survive with [-] volumes a day. It is just to increase the survival base. Chen Ziming has plenty of people and materials.

As for printing, it can be said that among the few things made by Chen Ziming, it has the least technical content. Find some scholars who are good at writing, and then find some skilled craftsmen. Man began to carve all known fonts.

These books were bought by Chen Ziming for Liu Bei. Rice paper is only small money, but books are big money. In this era, it is hard to find a book. Most of the books are in the hands of aristocratic families, living among the people, and few of them are preserved.

Liu Bei and Mi Zhu were astonished, and Liu Bei went to visit the printing factory immediately.

On the third day, Mi Zhu's caravan set off back to Xuzhou. When they came, they brought food, grass and soldiers, and when they left, they brought boxes of rice paper and books.

At the same time, in the name of Liu Bei, Chen Ziming ordered people to donate a large amount of rice paper and books to Emperor Xian who was trapped in Chang'an. At the same time, he asked Emperor Xian to repair books for Emperor Xian.

In fact, Chen Ziming's idea was to collect books in the Han Dynasty. There are the most books in the world, the most precious, and the best collection. Of course, it is the collection of books of the Han royal family with a history of hundreds of years.

At the same time, Mi Zhu also left with an order from Chen Ziming, that is, to announce to the world that an academy will be built in Linzi, and all students from all over the world can enroll, and all great Confucian scholars from all over the world can come to teach.
