"I obey, I will go back today to make arrangements, and we can set off early tomorrow morning!"
Chao Cuo is now just a retainer of the prince. He is an official of the prince's palace. When entering and leaving the capital, he is much more at ease than those of the imperial officials.
"Thank you, Master. I would also like to see what Liu Deng can do to deal with the princes and kings of the Seven Kingdoms!"
This kid Liu Deng is really interesting. He worked so hard to cry poverty just to get some support from the imperial court.
However, as soon as the imperial envoy left, he immediately turned around and started fighting with King Wu and the others.
The Dai State is probably the one with the weakest foundation among all the vassal states.
This boy was holding his neck and refused to bow his head and admit his mistake to King Wu. This made Liu Qi very curious.
If he hadn't been the prince, he would have really wanted to go to Daiguo to see what kind of tricks this kid wanted to play.
"Wei Chen is also very curious. What does this new acting king have to rely on? He dares to fight with the seven princes and kings so clearly!"
Chao Cuo also said with a curious expression.
"It's better than this. Master, bring more messengers with you this time. If there is any news along the way, send someone back immediately to satisfy my curiosity."
Liu Qi said with a smile.
"I obey!"
This kind of method commonly used in shopping malls, if used in the court, is actually beneficial. Everything in the world comes from the same source. Let the prince know more about these things, and use them in governing the country in the future. There are some benefits. As a master, Chao Cuo was naturally willing to satisfy the prince's hobby.
Early the next morning, Chao Cuo set off directly, leading a group of soldiers to escort 150,000 copper coins and 30,000 stones of coarse salt, and drove the convoy to the country of Dai.
"Your Highness, our people reported that there seems to be an extra group of people in the city who are also frantically collecting salt. The price of coarse salt per kilogram has been raised to 750 Wen. But the strange thing is that they actually took all the salt they received. , all sold to our shop, and at our purchase price of 700 Wen!"
The next night, after checking all the accounts, Yang Sheng finally discovered this strange thing and immediately came to discuss it with Liu Xian.
"Sold all the salt collected in our shop?"
Liu Xian was stunned for a moment. After collecting the money, he sold it all to himself. So how did they make a profit?
Isn’t this working hard for yourself?
And it’s free of charge!
"Yes, but because of them, the price of coarse salt in Jinyang City has been increased to 750 yuan!"
This made Liu Xian a little confused. Isn't it mentally ill to collect salt at a high price and sell it to himself at a low price?
What kind of? Losing money and making money?
"Send someone to find out where they came from. Why do I feel that there is something weird about this matter!"
Liu Xian also had a headache all of a sudden. At this time, they and Liu Deng were about to fight head-to-head. But at this moment, such a group of people actually jumped out. This is really incredible!
“Then what if we don’t want the salt they receive in the future?”
Yang Sheng thought about it for a moment and then said.
"That's not necessary. As long as it's salt, we'll accept it!"
Liu Xian hesitated for a moment and then said.
"But if this happens, our price may be raised to 800 yuan tomorrow morning!"
Yang Sheng said worriedly.
"It should be the local merchants who are deliberately hyping it up. I think there are still many people who still have some salt in their treasury. It's just some copper coins. As long as we empty out the official warehouse of Liu Deng, is it possible? Are you still afraid that you won’t be able to earn copper coins?”
Liu Xian disagreed. Things that could be solved with money were no big deal.
While they were busy working in full swing, the first batch of experimental products made by the woodworkers finally succeeded. Liu Deng came to his own courtyard specifically to test whether these things worked well or not!
"Your Majesty, all the preparations have been made and are waiting for your order. However, we don't know how to use these things. Please tell me on behalf of the king!"
The two carpenters have now become carpenter foremen. Now they have thirty or forty people under them, and they no longer have to do those miscellaneous things every day. More importantly, even the housekeeper in the house, look at it. to the point where both of them would nod.
"The stuff is pretty good, let's try it now!"
Liu Deng directly rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, and was ready to go down personally.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. You are a man of ten thousand gold. How can you do this kind of thing yourself? You should just use your mouth. Let the young men do this kind of rough work!"
It seems that environment can really change a person's character. Two honest and honest farm guys are now able to flatter each other.
"Yes, yes, there is progress! Then come on, throw all these things into the hopper, crush them for me, and put them into the next machine!"
Liu Deng pointed to the coarse hemp outside and the reeds he specially ordered the guards to get, and said to the two carpenters.
"promise!"
After working for so many days, these people were also very curious, what on earth was the king going to do with these things?
Now that the mystery was finally revealed, Liu Deng gave the order and they immediately started fucking passionately.
This is how the most primitive papermaking workshop started its first operation. At the beginning, their movements were a bit unfamiliar, but after a stick of incense, they all became proficient.
Operating these machines was originally very simple, but the things Liu Deng made could only be driven by human or animal power until now.
After we move to the river bend, we might be able to try to use water power to drive these machines, but that's a story for another day.
After struggling for a whole afternoon, Liu Deng finally saw a few pieces of rough paper. If these things are left in future generations, they will at most be used to wrap fried dough sticks or something like that. If they are used for other purposes, It's really too hard to use as a wiping paper.
But in this day and age, this is already the best paper that can be made with current technology.
"Have you written down all the process?"
Liu Deng asked casually.
"Big, big, big king, the little one didn't remember anything, didn't see anything, my king, please spare my life!"
The two honest farm men looked at each other and immediately knelt on the ground. The carpenters behind them also knelt on the ground one by one, just kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"You've been fucking all afternoon and you're telling me you don't remember anything? Are you all fucking pigs?"
Liu Deng was immediately angry. Even if this was a pig, it should know what to do now, right?
