The carriage returned to Tianshuiyuan.
Que'er and Jiuyin were fighting sword moves deep in the garden. No talented and beautiful ladies came to Tianshui Courtyard today because they all went to grab paper.
Zhao An called Cui Shixiang to talk secretly.
The former set up a monument of merit for disaster relief. Those businessmen came from all over Daxia and were well-known noble families in the local area. Now they need to come.
In the evening, several carriages entered Tianshui Courtyard from the back door.
They knew Mr. Zhou's name and showed considerable respect for him.
Zhao An asked everyone with a smile, what do they think of the Liu family's sale of paper at a reduced price?
Several businessmen looked at each other.
How else to watch?
The Liu family relies on the Chen family, so outsiders don't even think about it, they are just greedy.
Zhao An added: "Have you never thought about studying new paper? With such huge benefits, no one will be tempted, right?"
"Mr. Zhou was joking. The research on paper is not that easy. We have studied hard, but unfortunately we have found nothing."
"If new paper appears, would you be willing to sell it as an agent across the country?"
Zhao An's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake. The expressions of several people changed drastically, "What does Mr. Zhou mean?"
"answer the questions."
"us……"
They're stuck.
It is impossible to say that you are not afraid. Issuing new paper at this time is tantamount to standing directly on the opposite side of the Chen family.
No one can bear the overwhelming anger of the Chen family.
"What if the Holy Sect sells new paper and invites you to be agents?" Zhao An said without surprising.
Now the businessmen couldn't sit still, and their expressions became very exciting. They already knew what an agent was.
If there is a Holy Sect in the front to resist the thunder, they will dare to do it. Anyway, the source is the Holy Sect, and they are all middlemen who help sell goods.
A businessman said: "If this is true, to be on the safe side we should attract more merchants and expand sales channels."
They are smart and know that the law does not punish the public.
With their connections and prestige in their respective hometowns, it is easy to promote the new paper and attract the next-level agents.
Speaking of this, Cui Shixiang no longer hid it, took out a long brocade box and displayed the new paper.
Looking at the snow-white paper, several businessmen were mesmerized.
These are gold!
No, more precious than gold!
New paper is cheap to make, but its quality is not much worse than old paper.
What the agent has to do is to go back and lay out the layout, attract more subordinate agents, and let new paper bloom all over the ground in an instant. When the time comes, Chen Guogong will have nothing to do to stop it.
If the influence is expanded to a certain level and then seized, it will be an enemy of the world, so he can only target the Holy Sect.
Finally, Zhao An would like to warn businessmen not to think about raising paper prices because productivity is sufficient.
As long as they try their best to promote Xia Zhi to every state capital in the dark, even if they have done a great job, they will still seek cooperation with them if there are good things in the future.
The businessmen looked at each other and were extremely excited.
Opportunities and dangers coexisted this time. As long as Chen Guogong didn't personally lead people to arrest them, with their intricate power in the local area, the government would have nothing to do with them.
After a long time, the carriage left.
They all said in the same voice that they were here to pay a visit to Mr. Cui, hoping to allow the children of each family to enter the Imperial Academy through the back door.
In the evening, Luo Xiaoxiao came.
She is still so quirky and has a apprenticeship ceremony.
Under Xu Ruqing's stunned eyes, she reluctantly lay on the ground and kowtowed three times to Zhao An, completing her apprenticeship.
"Hey, teacher, my disciple has brought you something good."
She opened the black box she carried with her, and inside was a palm-sized red ginseng.
Zhou Rang has a very good nose and hurried over to take a closer look, "Good stuff! It's really good stuff! At least three hundred years of red ginseng king!"
Red ginseng is the best among wild ginseng, and the 300-year-old red ginseng is rare but hard to find.
This thing can definitely be called a tribute grade!
With the medicinal properties of this red ginseng king, even a ninth-grade expert cannot withstand it. Eating up to the size of a knuckle can restore the empty inner energy to perfection.
A little trash like Zhao An can eat as much as a fingernail in one day. If you eat a whole piece, it will definitely explode your blood vessels.
"Teacher, do you still like the apprenticeship ceremony?" Luo Xiaoxiao was proud.
Zhao An said suspiciously: "You are so rich, why do you still open a restaurant and do business?"
"I……"
Luo Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words, and then said angrily: "Why do you have so many problems? I can do it if I want. Anyway, please call me a new mathematician!"
She strongly requested, and Zhao An had to take her to find a secluded room.
Xu Ruqing also followed. She also wanted to learn the so-called new calculation method.
Next, Zhao An briefly taught elementary school arithmetic and Arabic numerals renamed summer numbers.
The two women's world view was directly refreshed.
Looking at the easily calculated accounting results, Xu Ruqing could not calm down for a long time.
If traditional calculations were used, it would take an hour, but Professor Zhao An's method directly shortened the calculation time by more than ten times!
So scary!
"Master, how did you grow your brain?"
Luo Xiaoxiao's mouth opened wide. The breadth and depth of the new mathematics exceeded her cognitive limits.
Zhao An found it funny, but it was a pity that this world was different from the original world. There was no Qin Dynasty. The earliest multiplication formulas and calculations were recorded in the "Qin Slips", thousands of years ahead of the Western world.
In addition, Xu Ruqing deserves to be the most talented woman, and she can learn everything at once.
Compared to her, Luo Xiaoxiao seemed a bit clumsy, but even so, it was faster than conventional arithmetic.
"Sir, can the little girl promote the new arithmetic?"
Xu Ruqing blushed a little, and after speaking, she quickly added, "I will explain that you invented it."
She had memorized the discipleship rules in front of her husband before, but he still hadn't settled the accounts with her, and now she was asking for new calculations, which made her feel greedy.
Zhao An nodded without hesitation. She could teach new mathematics in the literary club and attract more people.
"On behalf of all the students in the world, I would like to thank you for your great kindness!"
Xu Ruqing was overjoyed. She picked up Yun Yi and walked to the table, knelt down and bowed her thanks.
Zhao An was shocked. He was a time traveler who picked up on people's wisdom, but he couldn't bear the kneeling of a talented woman. He might lose his life.
Xu Ruqing raised her head, her watery eyes full of admiration.
Zhao An took the opportunity to wipe her little hands, and she panicked, "My little lady is a little tired, let's go first."
After saying that, he stumbled away, looking a little cute in his embarrassment.
"My elders said that they can accept Master's method of making salt. We will provide artificial materials, set up a store, and be responsible for sales. Master will help me with advice when necessary, and I can give you a share of the profit."
Luo Xiaoxiao ran up to her with her skirt in hand and said seriously.
Zhao An touched her pink brow and said, "You don't have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?"
"What do you mean?" She clapped her big hands away angrily, and Zhao An scolded: "Mom, give me a profit, why don't you go and grab it!"
