Peshawar, the capital of the Kushan Empire.

On the crowded street outside the palace gate, a strange shop recently opened. The shop does not sell food, clothing, Buddhist scriptures, paper and pens.

The Kushan Empire originated from the Dayue clan and has a long history.Has its own script and customary writing tools, mainly parchment.This kind of paper is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.

However, paper is much cheaper in this weird store.It's just that the color of this kind of paper is burnt yellow, and although it's fairly thick, it's not very beautiful.

So are there any buyers?Quite a lot.

The decoration of this store is very attractive and very special, in the style of the distant Han Dynasty in China.In addition to the local characters, the sign of the store also has several large Chinese characters for "Yu Yu Hakusho".

In this era, there is no other person besides Zhang Bai who can give a store such a name.He chose the name arbitrarily because no one had watched the anime, but in fact he was secretly venting his chuuni feelings like crazy.

Mu Jing didn't know the inside story, but she thought the name was quite good. It was not only elegant, but also had Zhang Bai's name embedded in the middle, which made it very relevant.

Another reason why there are so many customers in the store is that the store sells Buddhist scriptures copied in local languages. Because they are bound with cheap yellow paper and cost only six or seven gold coins each, the price is quite reasonable.At least compared to the parchment scriptures, which cost tens of gold coins, the price is much lower, and many ordinary people can afford it.

The entire Kushan Empire believed in Buddhism, but Buddhist scriptures were too expensive and most people relied on listening to lectures in temples to learn them.Therefore, as soon as this kind of cheap scripture came out, it was immediately flooded with customers.

As for how Zhang Bai knew how to write local characters, he made a big discovery.When he was in Yongqing Village, Zhang Bai found one thing particularly strange. How could he understand what the locals were saying?

He found that he could understand everything Qingchi said, but Lingling couldn't.

The same goes for Qingchi. He can understand what others say, but he doesn't understand what Lingling says.Zhang Bai felt strange and couldn't figure it out.Don’t you and Lingling both speak Chinese?

The doubts were quickly solved by Mu Jing and Ma Ge. These two people have been practicing for a long time and know the middle joint.

It turns out that people who practice Taoism and immortality are not limited by language when they have reached a certain level. As soon as they are exposed to various languages, they will naturally master them quickly and others can understand them.

As for the extent of cultivation to obtain this ability, everyone is different. Zhang Bai is a foundation builder, so it seems that he already has this ability.

As for Lingling, according to Mu Jing, although he is a genius in cultivation, has excellent foundation, and is already very powerful in physical skills, he has never really practiced cultivation, so he cannot understand Qingchi's words.

Zhang Bai suddenly realized, thinking that no wonder he could communicate with others smoothly as soon as he arrived in Peshawar, and he didn't feel like he spoke a foreign language.

......

When he first arrived in Peshawar, Zhang Bai asked the spacecraft to stop on a barren mountain cliff two miles away from the city.The climb here is difficult and inaccessible, making it a good place to hide the craft.

He didn't want to cause a commotion, nor did he want to leave obvious traces, in order to prevent the Xue Ming Dharma from being tracked.

Then the group left the cliff.

Under the cliff is the place where several rivers meet. They were in no hurry to enter the city because it was difficult to stay in a hotel without money.Zhang Bai suggested camping for a few days and thinking of ways to do business and make money.Although everyone agrees, what should we do?

Zhang Bai actually had already thought about it on the road. The most profitable things to do in business are nothing more than four:

The first money begets money, in other words, it is finance.He had no capital, so he had to think about it.

The second is to build a brand, which is like Coca-Cola, putting a deceptive label on the sugar water bottle, and making a lot of money.But building a brand takes time, and they don’t have it.

The third is to ask the Kushan Empire for policies. As long as everyone is united, nothing can be accomplished.But they were unfamiliar with the place and didn't know anyone, so they had no choice but to pull them down.

The last and fourth way is to engage in core technology.This method is actually very thankless. Researching the technology is expensive and time-consuming. It is hard to say whether it can be developed.And even if the research produces results, if others overtake it or simply copy it, it will be a shame again, so the risk is too great.

Fortunately, Zhang Bai did not plan to stay in the Kushan Empire forever.As for technology, there are several without research.

Learn about the four great inventions of ancient China.

Among them, you must not engage in **, messing with the technology tree will cause terrible consequences; there seems to be no market for the compass, and I have never heard that the Kushan Empire needs maritime hegemony; printing?No paper;

The only thing left is papermaking, which is actually not difficult. Zhang Bai happened to have shot an advertisement for a manufacturer of ancient papermaking in his previous life.The bamboo paper made by others is a good thing, it is white and thick, but this kind of paper cannot be made by itself.

but!Find out more about it.

This thing does not require quality at all. Just collect more grass with relatively large leaves, wash it and mash it into a paste, press it and dry it in the sun.This kind of paper, no one wanted to wipe their butts in the previous life.

A few days later, stacks of yellow papyrus came out.Ma Ge and Qing Chi, who were in charge of manufacturing, were dumbfounded and couldn't figure out how they could make paper.

Mu Jing and Lingling were quite dissatisfied. These two had seen the world and had never seen anything good.The color of this papyrus looks like it has been roasted on a fire. It cannot absorb ink very well, and the ink is so smudged that it is almost impossible to see.

The two of them looked at Zhang Bai with contempt, as if they were looking at a liar.

Zhang Bai was embarrassed, he couldn't say it was just for wiping his butt!He simply ignored these two guys and encouraged the cheerful Ma Ge and the honest Qing Chi to continue to focus on production and development.

A few days later, seeing that a lot of toilet paper had accumulated, Zhang Bai started to think about other things again.

He was going to make pencils.

It is impossible to make a regular pencil like the one in the previous life by hand, because there is no material to make the refill, and the wooden pole outside is not easy to make.

But his major is painting. Anyone who has studied this knows that charcoal pencils can be DIYed by hand, and it is super easy.

He found some poplar trees in the nearby mountains, chopped some firewood, and broke some branches about the thickness of a pencil.Then he gave instructions to Piggy and asked him to go to a nearby house and steal two clay pots.

He cut the branches into small pieces about the same length as a new pencil, put them into clay pots, and sealed them with river mud.Then he dug a hole in the ground, put the clay pot in, poured in burned charcoal, and smoldered for more than an hour.

After the clay pot cooled down naturally, I opened it and saw that the wooden sticks had turned into hard charcoal sticks. I picked one up and drew, and it turned out to be easy.I haven’t forgotten my professionalism. I am as steady as an old dog. Who is the dog?where?

Zhang Bai is very proud of regaining his professionalism, so that "Yuyu Baishu Stationery Factory" can supply the market on time.You can consider renting a shop in the capital to do business.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill on the back of his neck.Turning around, he saw that it was Lingling and Mu Jing. Four cold looks came from their eyes.

"You! You let a cute pig steal something!?"
