"Teacher, I have a question!"
"No matter how good your papermaking skills are, you can't possibly make so much paper in three months, right?"
"Even if a piece of paper sells for a lot of money, it's still one million pieces! Even if the Mohist disciples are exhausted, they can't make it, right?"
"Besides, ordinary people are still worried about food and clothing! Only food and clothing can make progress! No matter how cheap paper is, they can't go to school hungry!"
At this moment, Ying Che looked a little confused and asked slowly.
In fact, he saved some face for Liu Bai.
That is... no matter how good your paper is, it is impossible to spread it to the entire Daqin in a short period of time!
If you want to make money from ordinary people... they don't even have enough to eat now!
After saying these words, Mo Shan nodded repeatedly.
With a creation calculated in millions, Prime Minister Liu really thinks highly of himself!
"The first question is how to increase production."
Liu Bai smiled slightly, as if he didn't have the slightest concern about the questions raised by Ying Che!
Such a confident look made His Majesty the First Emperor's eyes flash with a hint of interest.
"Here, a concept is about to be introduced!"
"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the process flow chart of papermaking. It is roughly divided into seven steps."
“Preparing raw materials, wetting, crushing, pulping, forming, drying and the final finishing and cutting.”
"If one person does the entire process, it will be extremely slow."
"But... if one person is assigned to each of these seven processes to do it specifically, practice makes perfect, and a lot of waste during process rotation can also be saved. In this way, the manufacturing efficiency will be increased by more than ten times!"
"This thing, I call it...assembly line technology!"
Liu Bai smiled and explained.
And the raw materials required for making paper are stated in the first step of the process flow chart!
Although there was no introduction, it made His Majesty the First Emperor's expression slightly move!
The assembly line process is great, but what's even more powerful is... the cost!
This paper actually only needs grass, bamboo and the like? Ridiculously low cost?
"assembly line!!!"
Mo Shan almost shouted in surprise!
He is a giant of the Mohist family, and even more so a great master. Just thinking about it for a moment, he realizes how terrifying this concept is!
This is completely beyond the scope of manufacturing!
Everyone’s hands have inertia! If you keep doing a craft procedure, you will naturally become more proficient, and your efficiency will be greatly increased!
What Liu Bai said about improving the effect tenfold is by no means an alarmist statement!
Liu Bai was not surprised at all by Mo Shan's exclamation. He just answered Ying Che's second question: "As for the people who don't have enough to eat, how can they buy paper..."
Liu Bai chuckled: "I never thought about making money from the poor!"
“The customers when this paper came out were wealthy people.”
"Produced by the Mohist family, it subverts the cognition of the times, has the fragrance of plants and trees, and is a sacred paper that can cure all kinds of diseases. Of course, it will be regarded as taboo by those rich men!"
As soon as these words came out, Ying Che was stunned!
What my teacher meant...it seems that this paper is only sold to rich people?
Then why did we say that everyone can read?
Isn't this a contradiction?
His Majesty the First Emperor's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he gently twisted the slightly yellowed paper (without bleach) with his fingers, as if he saw Liu Bai clearly.
"No wonder you asked me for the right to kill."
His Majesty the First Emperor spoke calmly.
This sentence had nothing to do with what Liu Bai had just said, but it made Liu Bai break into a cold sweat!
Your Majesty, did he...see it?
"I don't care about the process, I just want to see whether the treasury is full after three months. As for your actions, Liu Bai, you should follow the Qin law."
"If you cross half a step, you won't be spared!"
His Majesty the First Emperor stood up, looking like he was too lazy to listen any more.
After saying these words, Liu Bai's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
He is now 100% sure that His Majesty the First Emperor has seen through his thoughts!
Make money selling paper, that’s right!
But making money has never been Liu Bai's real goal.
The real meaning of papermaking is... digging the roots! (Smart people have already guessed whose foundation to dig out)
And after the advent of paper, the reason why these people were the first customers is precisely... to reduce their power!
Unexpectedly, His Majesty the First Emperor immediately saw the essence of it!
Liu Bai first took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and then suddenly understood the meaning of His Majesty the First Emperor's words.
By following Qin's laws, you can... do whatever you want? ! !
Your Majesty supports what he does!
When this idea came up, Liu Bai almost burst into joy!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is extremely generous and may you enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as the heavens!"
Liu Bai suppressed his ecstasy, saluted quickly, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Go back to the palace."
In response to Liu Bai's gratitude, His Majesty the First Emperor didn't even bother to say "no courtesy"!
This bastard kid scolds everyone for being petty and flatters others, but he can't be trusted with a word he says.
As he said these words, Liu Bai could hardly hide the ecstasy in his eyes!
Leaders are smart, but being a subordinate is really tiring!
"My lord, I would like to send you off to your majesty!"
"My son, I would like to send you my father the best!"
Liu Bai and Ying Che spoke quickly.
As for Nong Shang and Mo Shan, they couldn't open their mouths at this moment.
One was so frightened by His Majesty the First Emperor's power that his lips trembled! Another Mo Shan was immersed in the deduction of the assembly line.
"With what you put in the cup, send ten stones to Xianyang Palace. Hai'er has been scared to the point of hysteria by you recently, so I feel at ease!"
Before leaving the door, His Majesty the First Emperor said something casually that made Liu Bai almost jump!
Looking at his cup again, Liu Bai really jumped up!
Tea...you call the unit of measurement for this thing stone? ! ! ! ! !
One stone! It's one hundred and twenty pounds of Ta Niang! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The emperor of the ages, I think he is a small-minded bandit, or a bandit wearing a black robe of black bird, committing robberies openly and with the endorsement of Qin Lu!
The key is...Qin's laws are set by you yourself!
"promise!"
"When my son returns to the palace, he will bring Master Liu's gift back to him!"
Liu Bai hadn't even said that the tea was priced in two, but he, the stupid student, answered!
No... Young Master Che, you usually look quite smart! Why did you agree?
It would take me a year to collect ten stones of dogtail grass! ! !
"Zhang Han, the weather in Xianyang today is really good!"
After walking out of the room, His Majesty the First Emperor raised his head slightly, with a rare smile in his eyes.
Such a sentence left Zhang Han confused, and he could only try his best to flatter him!
"Your Majesty said the weather is nice, so it must be nice that day!"
After saying these words, His Majesty the First Emperor smiled even more in his eyes.
He didn't look back, and he knew Liu Bai's expression now.
....
"Um...teacher, you only talked about the strategy to replenish the national treasury, but you haven't talked about the strategy to enrich the Qin Dynasty!"
"My father just asked for tea. He must have conveyed it to the student when he returns to the palace."
Ying Che is serious.
"Qin, a rich grandma! Ten stones of tea leaves, one thousand two hundred catties! As a teacher, I am as broke as a melon!"
Liu Bai was furious!
"Where's the ruler! Where's the ruler! Today, as a master, I must enjoy it. What a pleasure it is to beat the Sixth Young Master of Great Qin!"
