The most powerful fool system

　"As a Confucian scholar, why did you serve Tyranny? Have you forgotten how the tyrant Yingzheng killed us Confucian scholars?"

　Then, the old saying changed and became stricter, berating Zheng Qing.

　"Brother, Yingzheng is Yingzheng, now the master of Daqin is no longer the tyrant Yingzheng, but the current Majesty.

　Today, His Majesty is so talented and broad-minded, not only does he no longer persecute us Confucian scholars, he even allows students from various schools to enter Qin as officials.

　We have studied hard for decades, for what.

　Isn't it about entering the court as an official, using what we have learned, displaying our ambitions, and benefiting the people all over the world?

　If a person wants to look forward, let the past go. "

　Zheng Qing said solemnly.

　"Hmph, it's so easy to say let him go.

　That stupid king Ying Huhai, are you really loyal? "

　"Zheng Qing will not lose his reputation as a teacher. His Majesty was worthy of my following all my life back then."

　"Brother, let's stop talking about this.

　Let's talk about business. "

　Zheng Qing didn't want to talk too much about this matter with Gu Yan, an old-fashioned old man, and diverted the topic.

　Gu Yan saw that Zheng Qing was unwilling to talk about this matter, and he did not force it. At this time, the transaction matter was more important to him.

　Therefore, Gu Yan snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, our king has said that he is willing to trade with you.

　We need [-] iron weapons and [-] sets of armor, and accept [-]% of your previous quotation. "

　At this time, Gu Yan still hopes to lower the price, and can tell them that every penny saved is a penny!

　"Senior Brother, if this is the case, then Junior Brother can only say sorry and leave."

　Zheng Qing was about to leave immediately, and she didn't intend to continue talking.

　"Brother, what are you in a hurry for?

　As the saying goes, 'ask for the price, pay back the money', if you can't accept [-]% of the price, we can talk again! "

　When Gu Yan saw that Zheng Qing was about to leave, he became anxious and stopped him.

　"Brother, I'm not a businessman, and I don't know how to talk about business.

　Your Majesty sent me here this time, just to be in contact with you, and the price is set by His Majesty.

　If your king agrees, we will trade, if not, then forget it. "

　Zheng Qing said so directly, the implication was too clear.

　It is a buy-it-yourself price, whether you like to buy it or not, this is a seller's market, the buyer has no pricing power and can only accept it passively.

　"This, I can only talk to the king again." Gu Yan said with some hesitation.

　In fact, the price Xu Feng offered was indeed very high.

　The money and food they spent on buying one iron weapon was enough to forge five or six bronze weapons by themselves.

　As for those armors, the price is even more outrageous.

　As for the armor, each set costs hundreds of dollars, which is not expensive.

　After all, none of the soldiers before them had armor, only the generals wore bronze armor.

　Those copper armors are very expensive to make and cannot be popularized at all.

　Therefore, Zhang Er liked the armor of the Qin army very much at the beginning, and it can be promoted in the army so that ordinary soldiers can wear armor.

　"Brother, you'd better hurry up.

　According to my information, that Han Xin is estimated to lead the army over soon, and the soldiers will surely surround Handan City by then.

　If it comes to that time, even if you want to buy it again, we will not be able to sell it. "

　Hearing the old saying, my heart sank, knowing that Zheng Qing was right.

　"Well, the king has given me the responsibility for this transaction, and I can agree to your price now.

　However, you need to be responsible for sending this batch of iron weapons and armor to our city. "

　At this time, Gu Yan was in a hurry, too lazy to negotiate the price, and agreed directly.

　Moreover, the request behind the old saying, to put it bluntly, is to let Qin Jun free shipping.

　"This is no problem." Zheng Qing readily agreed.

　In fact, the Qin army had long secretly hidden a large amount of military equipment in a valley northwest of Handan, guarded by a cavalry of the Qin army.

　Just waiting to make a deal with Zhang Er at any time.

　"Brother, tonight, the transaction will be carried out.

　Just at the north city gate, you prepare money and food, we will send you [-] iron weapons and [-] sets of armor first.

　Afterwards, every hour, there will be another transaction, and every time the cash is delivered, the transaction will be completed at dawn. "

　Zheng Qing clarified the transaction method to Gu Yan, and they did this to prevent being tricked by Zhang Er.

　If the Qin army sent [-] iron weapons and [-] sets of armor to Handan City at one time, if Zhang Er turned his back on him and refused to pay the money, the Qin army would be impatient.

　"Okay, that's fine too."

　After Zheng Qing finished speaking, Gu Yan also directly agreed.

　At this time, they, who were eager to get this batch of armaments to replace the army, would not play tricks at all.

　"Senior brother, it is not a small sum to pay for such a large amount of armaments. You must prepare in advance."

　Zheng Qing reminded.

　"Don't worry, we can still afford the mere money and food."

　"Haha, that's good, that's good."

　"After talking about the business, the junior brother came here this time and brought a gift to the senior brother."

　Zheng Qing was very happy when the deal was concluded. At this time, he took out a rectangular wooden box with a smile, handed it to Gu Yan, and said.

　This time, Gu Yan contributed a lot to secretly contacting Zhang Erneng, which can be regarded as a thank you to him.

　"I do not want."

　Gu Yan directly refused.

　"Senior brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse, first look at what's inside before talking."

　With that said, Zheng Qing opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing what was inside, which was a large pile of white paper.

　"This is... blank paper!"

　Originally, Gu Yan wanted to refuse, but when he saw that the wooden box contained a large stack of blank paper, he couldn't say the word of rejection.

　"It's just white paper, a total of [-] sheets, a little wish from Zheng Qing to Senior Brother."

　Zheng Qing said with a smile, and pushed the wooden box towards Gu Yan.

　From the look of surprise in the old saying at this time, Zheng Qing knew that the old saying couldn't be rejected.

　"This is good stuff!"

　Gu Yan took the wooden box, stroked the white paper inside, and said with hot eyes.

　You must know that the white paper produced by Daqin at this time has already spread to the entire Huaxia region after nearly a year, and is deeply loved by students from various schools in China.

　Compared with writing on bamboo slips or white silk in the past, these soft white papers are simply divine objects.

　At this time, no matter whether it was a literati far away in the bitter cold of Liaodong, or a student far away in the south of Nanyue, all of them were proud of getting a piece of white paper.

　Even so, white paper is still priceless and hard to find.

　The white paper can spread so fast, on the one hand, it is because it is a good thing, and on the other hand, it is also because of Xu Feng's secret promotion.

　On Daqin's side, although 10,000+ sheets of white paper are produced every month, two-thirds are kept for personal use, and only one-third is exported.

　There are tens of thousands of blank sheets of paper, which are distributed to various places, and there are not many at all.

　Even in a big city like Handan, only five or six thousand sheets can be allocated every month.

　As long as the caravan selling white paper from Daqin arrived in Handan, they would immediately be surrounded by people from all the big families in the city, and they would grab all the white paper they brought.

　Because of the white paper trade, Xu Feng has brought huge profits this year.

　Gu Yan is Zhang Er's confidant minister, but he doesn't have much blank paper in his hand, so Zhang Er rewarded him with some.

　He has always been reluctant to use it, and recently Gu Yan has fallen in love with writing on white paper.

　It is hard for these literati to like it or not to write brush characters on white paper to show the beauty of Chinese characters vividly.

　In particular, several pieces of calligraphy written by Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were circulated, which immediately caused an earthquake in the literati circle.

　In fact, those calligraphy seemed so beautiful to them.

　Now outside of Guanzhong, Gu Yan is not the only literati who want to practice calligraphy.

　It's a pity that there are too few blank papers, even for a person like Gu Yan, it is difficult to practice calligraphy, let alone ordinary poor students.

　Those poor students can't even afford a piece of blank paper.

　Otherwise, when Gu Yan saw the blank papers sent by Zheng Qing at this time, his eyes were straightened, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

　Over the past year, the number of students from various factions who defected to Daqin from outside has been increasing every month, which solved the problem of talent shortage for Xu Feng.

　Among them, white paper played a great role.

　Because, Xu Feng let out rumors from Xianyang that all scholars of various factions who defected to Daqin and were recruited and appointed, white paper is enough.

　This one alone has caused countless scholars outside to be moved.

　In particular, some masters of various schools of thought all led their students to travel across mountains and rivers to Daqin.

　For the masters of these schools of thought, it is their lifelong dream to write books.

　They are willing to give everything if their theories can be written on white paper, bound into a book, and spread out.

　"Junior Brother Zheng, you have a heart.

　The senior brother liked this gift very much, so the senior brother accepted it. "

　Faced with the temptation of these blank papers, Gu Yan didn't even have the courage to refuse, so he just accepted it.

　Even because of this, Gu Yan's attitude towards Zheng Qing has become more kind than before.

　"Brother just accept it."

　"Brother, then I will take my leave first, and don't forget tonight's deal."

　"Okay, my brother will send you off personally."

　After Gu Yan sent Zheng Qing away, he turned his head and rushed home excitedly, looking at the white papers in the wooden box: "With these white papers, I can practice calligraphy."

　That night, Han Xin's vanguard had already appeared in the east of Handan City and set up camp.

　However, the main force of the Qi army led by Han Xin has not yet arrived in Handan, and the Qi army has not yet completed the siege of Handan City.

　This gave Qin Jun and Zhang Er a chance to trade.

　"coming."

　After dark, flames appeared at the north gate of Handan City, said a general of the Changshan Army guarding the city.

　"Come on, hurry up and report to Master Gu, it means someone has come."

　The general of the Changshan army who guarded the city said to the guards beside him.

　"promise."

　For the transaction tonight, after Gu Yan reported to Zhang Er, Zhang Er immediately sent his confidant generals to be responsible for the defense of the north gate tonight.

　Soon, the Chang Shan soldier found Gu Yan.
