I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 117 The big buyer in Wei State is eager for paper!

"Escaping is naturally not a problem." Lu Zhi said, "But how many people are needed to escort them, and can the Weaving Department afford the money?"

"The paper and cloth produced by the Weaving Department can be sold at high prices. How can we not afford it?" Li Heng said, "And as the output increases, the more goods can be sold, the more the total income will be."

Lu Zhi understood immediately: "So, the Weaving Department has made money, Dahan Logistics Trading Co., Ltd. has made money, and Bajun Trading Co., Ltd. has also made money. All three parties have the motivation to do their own things well."

"Yes."

"Who will pay for this?"

“Whoever buys paper and cloth pays for it!”

Lu Zhi suddenly became enlightened.

He is very clear about the key point here. It used to be a whole, but now it is divided.

The various parts that were split began to operate on their own in pursuit of profits.

"So, many things can actually be done this way?"

"Yes, but there is a precondition."

Lu Zhi thought about it carefully and said, "Profitable?"

"Yes, the reason why the three parties are willing to cooperate is because both paper and cloth can be sold for money, and the money circulates among the three parties."

"But to run Dahan Logistics Trading Company, I'm afraid you need a lot of money first, otherwise you won't be able to recruit people."

"I'll give you a batch first."

"So good."

August [-], Duling County, Jingzhao.

Du Yu was studying when Du Ling hurried in and said, "Mr. Lang, there is someone outside asking to see you."

"not see."

"He's from the capital."

Du Yu then put down the book in his hand and asked, "Is there any news from Mr. Li?"

"It's just that the supply quantity will be increased, but recently the imperial court has built a large number of cities in the Mei County area, and it is impossible for the trade routes to be unaffected."

Du Yu frowned slightly and began to think.

Du Ling said: "I think we should find a backer in the capital now to stabilize this matter, and let the backer say hello to Guo Huai, so that our paper trading in Guanzhong can go smoothly."

Although Du Yu's father was also a high official, this matter was a bit sensitive. With Du Shu's character, he had almost no connections in the court.

The paper involves huge interests. Someone in Luoyang must be jealous, and it will be a matter of time before they find out.

Du Yu felt quite helpless.

"Do you know who the capital master is?"

"The other party just said that he wanted to do business."

Not long after, Du Yu met Liu Fang's second son Liu Xu.

Although he didn't know Liu Xu, Du Yu immediately realized that this man was either rich or noble.

"I'm Du Yu, I'm here today. What's the important thing?"

"My Excellency, Liu Xu, came from Luoyang. I heard that Jingzhao Du Family is doing business in paper, and I would like to come and have a chat."

"I'm afraid Mr. Liu made a mistake. We..."

"I have already inquired about the matter in advance, why should Du Langjun make unnecessary excuses."

"What does Mr. Liu want?"

"Nothing, I just want paper."

"How much?"

"You will be given as much as you want." Liu Xu said, "If the Du family wants to swallow this paper by one person, I am afraid they will die. You need to find a backer."

"How do you determine that you are the patron?"

"My father, Liu Ziqi, kept his name secret."

Du Yu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this man was actually the son of Liu Fang, a famous figure in front of Emperor Wei.

He actually also started buying and selling paper.

"Is this backer enough for you to rely on?"

"Why did Liu Ziqi suddenly want to buy and sell paper?"

"Don't ask too many questions that shouldn't be asked," Liu Xu said.

Du Yu immediately realized that it might not be as simple as Liu Fang behind this, it might be...

"how?"

"can."

"What's the price for me?"

"It can be cheaper, forty thousand pieces and one thousand dan." When Liu Xu heard this number, he immediately became excited.

Because now a piece of paper in the capital has ten pieces of dendrobium, and ten pieces are equivalent to one stone!
Forty thousand pieces is four thousand stones!

This is directly introduced to a quarter, and any businessman will be moved to tears after listening to it.

"It's feasible!" Liu Xu said hurriedly, "How much paper can be produced next month?"

“The current supply of goods is not much, and we can only supply [-] pieces a month.

"Can there be more?"

"No more."

"Do you know how much Luoyang loves this kind of paper now?"

"I know, but there really aren't enough."

Liu Xu withdrew his burning eyes and said, "Can you think of a way to get more?"

"Afraid of being discovered."

"Guo Huai?"

"Yes."

"Leave this matter to us and it will be fine. Luoyang will continue with the paper. If Guo Huai dares to stop it without permission, he will be risking the disapproval of the world!"

"Also, the supply is indeed insufficient, just like Shu Brocade."

"Let's think about it again."

August 25.

After other officials reported the matter, Liu Chan said: "You should write down a summary of these matters. I will send someone to Guanzhong and hand them over to the prime minister."

"Here."

"Retreat without incident," Liu Chan said.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to do." The one who came out to speak was Shaofu Dancheng.

"If you have anything to do, please tell me."

"It's about the recent "Dahan Trading Company Share Management Regulations." Dan Cheng said, "I don't think Li Jian has the right to issue such an official document without authorization."

Liu Chan said: "What Qing Tan said is wrong. Li Qing's remarks were all allowed by the Prime Minister."

Tan Cheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Prime Minister, he..."

Others were also a little surprised. Was this allowed by the Prime Minister?

Before Tan Cheng could say anything, Li Heng stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do."

"Li Qing, it's okay to say so."

"Your Majesty, I have here a memorandum, "Regulations on the Management of Dahan Trading Company", please take a look at it."

Liu Chan originally didn't want to see it, and planned to ask Li Heng to give it to Zhuge Liang directly, but when he heard the name, he became a little interested.

He asked Huang Hao to bring it up, and after reading it, he asked, "Li Qing wants to pay the craftsmen his own salary?"

When the other ministers heard this, they were immediately confused and even a little surprised.

"It is not that I pay the salary to the craftsmen myself, but the salary of the craftsmen is distributed from the profits of the papermaking bureau."

"What kind of salary do craftsmen need?" Dan Cheng stood up and said, "The best salary is for the imperial court to provide food and clothing for craftsmen."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the national treasury is already tight now." Da Sinong also stood up, "How can we spend it randomly!"

"I didn't say I wanted money from the treasury, I wanted money from the Weaving Department."

Meng Guang said: "That is also money from the national treasury..."

Before Meng Guang finished speaking, Liu Chan interrupted him and said, "Just follow what Li Qing said!"

"His Majesty……"

"Li Qing, just do it!" Liu Chan obviously didn't want to be heard, so he waved his sleeves and turned around to leave.

joke!

I have 1 trustworthy people recommended by my husband.

After Liu Chan left, Meng Guang pointed at Li Heng's nose and cursed: "Li Gongbu, do you know what you are doing!"

"I know."

"Then you still do this!"

"I do this to make money!"

"Make money?" Meng Guang laughed and said, "Last time you said you would produce [-] sheets of paper per day, did you do it? You do it first and then..."

"We did it. Didn't Meng Dasinong read the report yesterday? Now the papermaking factory can produce [-] sheets of paper a day!"
