The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

The creator of the eye paper, I think he really wants to bear this name, and his name will last forever... The question is, how many craftsmen have a chance to be famous these days?For a moment, the master's expression became a little complicated.

"So, what is this kind of paper used for?" Liu Yuanqi watched it from beginning to end, but he just didn't understand what Liu Tao and the craftsman were talking about.

This paper, in terms of style, definitely failed.If it doesn't fail, then there must be some use for it. This use makes the craftsman feel embarrassed, and I'm afraid it's not a serious use.

"This thing..." Liu Tao didn't mean to hide anything, and directly confessed, "It's actually toilet paper...to replace toilet paper."

"Ah!" Hearing that it was actually used in this way, Cai Yan and Zhen Jiang immediately yelled, and turned their heads away, as if they had heard something terrible.

"I said you boy, why are you wasting paper like this?" Liu Yuanqi had a strange expression, and managed to squeeze out this sentence.

"One batch of this paper can be produced in just over two weeks, and because the process is different, a batch can actually be produced every few days..." Liu Tao directly took out a piece of toilet paper and handed it to Liu Yuanqi, " Feel it, isn't it better than a toilet?"

"..." Liu Yuanqi pinched it, it was soft, but it was a little rough, and it was definitely better than toilet chips in general.The problem is that it feels too expensive to use this as a toilet chip.

"Don't feel bad, the price of one piece of this thing is not too expensive." Liu Tao complained, "Master, how much does it cost to make this kind of paper?"

"The materials are cheap, and the workmanship is rough, even ordinary helpers can do it. Calculated, the cost of this stack of [-] sheets does not exceed two yuan." The master replied casually.

After all, it must be a large sheet when it is made. It is dried with a baking wall and cut into four small sheets.Only 25 large sheets of this knife paper were cut out.Considering the cost and the expensive craftsmanship, two pennies, no more.

"It costs two pennies, I'll sell it for ten pennies a pack, isn't that too much?" Liu Tao looked at the master.

"I've discussed it with other master craftsmen. Thirty Wen is not a problem here in Luoyang." The master nodded and replied. Compared with Caihou paper, the cost of this thing is astonishingly low.

For Caihou paper, the price of one knife (one hundred sheets) may not be less than two hundred cash.The price of resurrection paper is lower, around one hundred coins, and thirty coins for this kind of paper is really nothing to wealthy people, and fifty coins is still profitable.

"Since this is the case, we will sell it at the price of [-] Wen, with small profits but quick turnover. If necessary, we will expand the workshop and open a special factory for making this kind of paper. At that time, all the toilet paper in Luoyang and even Sizhou will be purchased here. !” Liu Tao suggested.

"If the proprietor intends to do so, that's fine." Da Jiang nodded, he doesn't know how to run a business, and the deductions for the papermaking association are not much, so the proprietor can do whatever he says.

Only then did Liu Tao turn around and look at the crowd: "See, I am benefiting the people of Sizhou!"

Cai Yan was silent, using paper as toilet paper, feeling like it was a waste of things.But this kind of paper... Seriously, she suddenly felt that there was really no other use for it except as toilet paper.It's just not for a while, unable to accept the impact.

Unlike Zhen Jiang, his family also runs a business, so he can see the business opportunity of this thing at a glance.Although I was a little embarrassed about how to use this kind of paper...so she looked at Liu Tao with a little more admiration.

Liu Yuanqi is the most speechless. The paper that scholars use carefully is ruined by this kid.But for this kid's fallacious reasoning, I have no room to refute, so I can only snort coldly and refuse to comment.

"How many were made in this batch?" Liu Tao couldn't help asking.

"Because it's an experimental product, only a hundred knives may not be enough to sell it." Master said in embarrassment.

"Then...the ten knives will be left in the paper mill and distributed to the craftsmen. Fifty knives will be sent to the palace, and the remaining forty knives will be taken away by me." Liu Tao replied.

"Thank you, Master!" The master quickly thanked him. It is said that he can get a knife for this thing, and find a merchant to sell it for fifty cents.There is not much money, so it is considered a subsidy. The key is to keep it for yourself, which is actually quite good.

After using this thing, I really can't get used to the toilet chip or something.

Not long after, the workers behind him took out the bundled papers. Liu Tao didn't talk nonsense, took two knives directly, handed them to Cai Yan and Zhen Jiang, and said with a smile, "Whoever sees them has a share..."

"This..." Cai Yan was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to take it, but Zhen Jiang took it with a smile and thanked her.

Liu Yuanqi also saw all this in his eyes, and he probably saw that Cai Yan was a little less sophisticated in the world, and was only suitable for husbands and children.But if you want to help Liu Tao, Zhen Jiang is very good, this kid is very good at picking people.

Afterwards, the four of them looked at the progress of the other papers, and then left... The smell is not very good at the paper factory.

Two days later, the palace issued a decree, and the toilet paper became a tribute... When I returned home, I found Liu Yuanqi, calmly holding two pieces of paper and going to the toilet... This old guy, two days ago With a look of disgust...

Chapter 204

Toilet paper, Liu Tao originally created this, just to take care of his chrysanthemums.With toilet paper, Chrysanthemum, who has been wronged for almost two years...maybe almost 23 years, has received better care.

What he didn't expect was that this thing became very popular in Luoyang. Liu Hong tried it once and listed it as a tribute.At the same time, it is required that this part of the workshop be independent and produce independently.At the same time, increased capital investment.

Liu Tao said nothing else, give him [-]% and own [-]%.

It is said that the secrets in the palace are not secrets at all, not to mention that the Sangong Yamen are still around Nangong.A lot of people know about toilet paper, and to be honest, it was mixed at first.

The scribes were obviously disgusted with Liu Tao's production of toilet paper, thinking it was a blasphemy against paper.Liu Tao doesn't care, why can't he complain a few words when people can't buy paper?Anyway, if you really use it, it is estimated that it will still be really fragrant.

Before the new workshop is ready, the old workshop can make a batch of toilet paper every five days, about [-] yuan, sold in bundles of one knife, and finally sold at a unit price of [-] yuan per knife. have to talk.

At the same time, the tribute part will be arranged in a new workshop for separate production.It's still earthen paper, but the craftsmanship is more careful. Anyway, the cost may increase to about one dollar and five yuan, but it is smoother and the texture is better.

Because it is in Luoyang, unlike others who pay tribute once a year, straw paper can be paid once a month.In the palace, in fact, it is only used by the emperor, empress and princes, with at most the internal officials, one hundred knives is enough, and the price is only around five hundred cash.

Becoming a tribute is equivalent to owning a brand. The technical content of this thing is so bad that apprentices can learn it, let alone outsiders, and it is easy to imitate. At this time, the value of the "tribute" brand is reflected.

Of course, there is no need for Liu Tao to ask too much about the follow-up. He has a special person to check the accounts, and at most report to him on some major events.This meant that his attention also began to shift away from the paper workshop.

"It's a holiday this week, you have to come with me." On Tuyao Day, Liu Yuanqi found Liu Tao.In the past few days, this person has begun to adapt to Zhongling's work and seems to have made some friends.

"Where are you going?" Liu Tao was a little surprised.

"Red Sleeve Hall!" Liu Yuanqi replied, "Tomorrow there will be a literary meeting in the Red Sleeve Hall. I will take you there to communicate with the gentry in Luoyang. You, too, have been in Luoyang for so long, either staying in the palace or going back to the house. What's the matter?" OK?"

"Hearing this name, it doesn't feel like a serious place..." Liu Tao complained.

"What does it mean to be unscrupulous?" Liu Yuanqi directly yelled back, "Except for those brothels on Linda Street, this is the biggest place. It is also the place most scholars like to go to. Especially there is a literary meeting tomorrow, I will take you to see it."

"It's nothing more than a group of underappreciated guys trying their luck in that kind of place. I still need to go to that kind of place?" Speaking of Wenhui, Liu Tao thought of the Wenhui in Zhuo County. .

If you value it, you may be hired at home to help with things; or you may sponsor scholars to study and make a name for yourself;

It's a bit like a large-scale cultural talent exchange meeting. There are also some literary meetings held by the nobles and dignitaries, which are places in the circle to show off their babies. This method is also used to strengthen the connections of each family.

After all, at the literary conference, it is inevitable to find a few like-minded friends.If there are more friends of this kind, the road will be wider.

"I want to go to the Wenhui, and that is also to go to the Wenhui organized by Sangong Jiuqing. Go to the Wenhui in the brothel, what's the point of that..." Liu Tao directly turned back, he was also ranked at least two thousand stones.

"According to what you mean, you went to the event held by Sangong Jiuqing?" Liu Yuanqi looked at Liu Tao with a strange expression.

"Father, you're not just waiting for my words, are you?" Liu Tao suddenly came to his senses.

"Who is to blame?" Liu Yuanqi snapped back, "Don't think I don't know. Recently, several officials held a literary conference and invited you over, but you didn't go. I said that at the beginning, you definitely still don't go!"

"You know me so well, why do you want me to go?" Liu Tao muttered.

"Because this is the literary meeting held by Situ Yuanwei." Liu Yuanqi shook his head, "I have inquired, this Yuan family..."

"Four generations and three princes, disciples and old officials are all over the world, almost the biggest faction in the court." Liu Tao said angrily, he doesn't understand?He knows better than anyone in this world!

"Since you are so clear, how dare you not go to this literary conference? Besides, you and I are both officials in Luoyang, so it is necessary to expand our network." Liu Yuanqi persuaded earnestly.

At this moment, Liu Tao even doubted whether Liu Yuanqi had received some benefits from the Yuan Clan, otherwise why would he do this.After thinking about it, I think it should not be, but the people of this era, the general concept, probably is like this.

Sangong Jiuqing held a literary conference and sent a post invitation, who would miss it?How many people get what they want and give up on their own initiative.According to this concept, I am the strangest one...
