I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 124 I just did a good thing to comfort the young woman
Li Xiang frowned slightly, obviously not believing it.

Li Heng said: "There is a contract here."

"contract?"

"Yes, contract!"

Li Heng looked sincere.

But in fact, his mind has already begun to turn, and the first batch of paper will benefit some Yizhou faction who are willing to cooperate.

After Wei and Wu both had paper-making factories, he smashed this threshold and popularized it among the people, so that everyone could make paper.

At that time, papermaking was no longer a political issue, but reverted to an economic issue.

"Is there still a contract?"

Li Heng waved his hand, and Lu Zhi took out an official document.

"Please take a look."

Li Xiang looked at it carefully and was greatly surprised after reading it.

This contract also introduced the concept of shares and clearly stated the rules for profit sharing after earnings.

"Can you really share it with us?"

"As evidenced by the contract!" Li Heng said, "It contains the official seals of Shangsi and Taifu Temple. How can you cheat on it?"

Li Xiang was silent for a moment and asked, "I really can't figure it out."

"I have already said that the trade routes are difficult and dangerous, and more people are needed to maintain public order."

"But there aren't many people down here."

"Hey, Li Langjun is still like this. Maybe he thinks that I am not sincere enough."

"That's not the case. In fact, they also have to farm..."

"Is it possible that the Li family hasn't used the curved shaft plow yet?"

"Use it."

"In this way, the number of people farming can be reduced by at least half, and the excess people can be sent out to form a team. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Li Xiang still hesitated.

"This matter is serious, please allow me to go back and discuss it with my father later."

"Okay, please bring this contract with you."

"Farewell." Li Xiang stood up.

"Walk slowly."

Li Xiang walked a few steps, turned around and asked again: "How much food can ten thousand pieces of paper buy?"

"Two thousand stones is no problem."

Li Xiang took a deep breath and said, "Then can we divide six hundred stones?"

"Yes."

"Generally, how much paper can be sold at one time?"

"I just sold 20 pieces of paper to Sun Wu last month."

Li Xiang took a deep breath and began to calculate in his mind. He would take 20% of the [-] pieces of paper.

Sixty thousand pieces of paper!

Twelve thousand stones of grain!

This is a fucking money grab!

"These papers are sold exclusively to Sun Wu?"

"Yes, specifically sold to Sun Wu."

"Sun Wu is willing to pay so much to keep buying grain?"

"At least I am willing to pay for now, but Sun Wu will soon send someone to steal the papermaking technology. This is inevitable."

Li Xiang asked nervously: "How to deal with it?"

"Can you prevent every drop of water from the Yellow River from splashing ashore?"

"No."

"Then how do you keep the coping papercraft from being taken away?"

"Isn't there anything Li Gong can do?"

"Of course there is."

"Appreciate further details."

"Before Sun Wu gets it, make more money."

"Ok?"

"That's why I need the power of your Li family."

Li Xiang paused and said, "In pursuit of speed?" "Yes."

There is no absolute blockade on commercial competition, especially for early commercial products.

During the Industrial Revolution, Britain tried its best to block steam engine technology, but it was still taken away by Germany and the United States.

What's more, papermaking is not a very sophisticated technology.

Even if the assembly line can prevent theft to a certain extent, it cannot completely prevent it.

Isn’t business competition desperate?
So business competition is all about who is in the front!

"I understand." Li Xiang bowed and said, "Farewell."

After Li Xiang left, Lu Zhi said: "It seems that the Li family is willing."

"Yes, it's impossible not to want to."

"Why does Mr. Li value the Li family in Jiangzhou?"

"Because we have to build a ship."

Hearing that the ship was going to be built, Lu Zhi vaguely seemed to have guessed something.

At this time, Ma Yong suddenly came.

"Mr. Li."

"What's the matter?"

"Please take a look." Ma Yong presented the last document.

"Huh?" Li Heng was a little confused.

what's the situation?
Ma Yong has just arrived in Chengdu and is about to submit his resignation?

Does he think the girls in Chengdu are not pretty and want to leave Chengdu, or does he think I, Li Heng, have abused him?

Li Heng opened the document in confusion and read it quickly.

I didn't know this, and immediately frowned when I saw it.

Li Heng was surprised and said, "Why is this Mr. Zhang telling you these things?"

"Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on Tan Cheng?"

"Yes, I said so."

"Shouldn't I just start staring?"

Li Heng was even more surprised and confused.

Surprisingly, Ma Yong has already started working!

Fuck it!
This executive power!

The puzzlement is, staring at Tan Cheng, how can it be related to the Zhang family mentioned in the document?
"and then?"

"Nan Cheng is escorted when he travels, so it's a bit difficult to keep an eye on him. But last night, in the afternoon, we found that his son, Tan Lun, had arrived at the Zhang family's home."

"What is the son of the young master doing in this Zhang family's house?"

"Zhang's husband, Sun Le, is an official under the chief of staff. He was originally responsible for the transportation of salt and iron, but recently he was transferred to the transportation of paper."

Li Heng understood immediately and said: "So the statement in your document that Sun Le concealed paper and sold it privately has something to do with tanlon?"

"Not directly related."

Li Heng read the document carefully again, looking back and forth!
Look horizontally, look vertically!
What the hell was written?

Li Heng simply stopped looking and asked, "What does that have to do with it?"

"Dan Lun seduced Ms. Zhang and asked her to turn a deaf ear to Sun Le and secretly hide the paper."

"Hide the paper?" Li Heng continued to ask, "To sell it privately for money?"

"Yes."

"Dan Lun, the son of a young official, went to seduce the wife of an official." Li Heng looked at Lu Zhi with a questioning look.

Lu Zhi spread her hands and said that she didn't know either.

Ma Yong said: "My guess is that Sun Le was used to widen the gap in paper transportation, which eventually led to major problems in paper transportation, and then pushed this responsibility to Dahan Logistics Trading Co., Ltd."

Li Heng asked Lu Zhi: "Sun Le is working in a logistics company now?"

"I was just transferred here half a month ago. He used to do salt and iron transportation. He transported salt from Dagong Well to the capital. He is very familiar with the transportation of materials."

"That's even weirder!" Li Heng had a hundred doubts in his heart, "Lan Lun is the son of the Shaofu. Even if he wants to do such a thing, can't he just send one of his men?"

"Ahem." Ma Yong showed a smile that every man knows, "Li Gong, that Zhang family is really charming. If you don't believe me, go take a look. You will definitely not want to leave after seeing it!"

Li Heng's eyes widened. He understood immediately, everything!

He looked at Ma Yong and asked, "Is this why you were able to get information from Zhang immediately?"

Ma Yong curled his lips and looked at Li Heng with meaningful eyes, but then he said evasively: "Sun Le is away all the time, and Mrs. Zhang is unbearably lonely. I just did a good thing to comfort a young woman. Of course, I mainly want to get information!"
