Chapter 6 Papermaking?
It has been less than half a month since Zhang Yi became Shangqing, and this matter still appears in some people's conversations from time to time.

Some people say that Zhang Yi seduces you, and some people say that Zhang Yi is a real talent.

But these have little to do with Jiang Xubai.

Zhang Yi entered the court and was worshiped as Shangqing, which was completely expected. No one would let a strategic talent go, unless he was blind.

Although Zhang Yi lives with Jiang Xubai now, but his father will summon Zhang Yi every now and then, so Zhang Yi is short of letting Zhang Yi live in Shu Palace.

As for Jiang Xubai, when Zhang Yi was worshiped as Shangqing, his father also rewarded him with a sum of money.

But this money is too little for Jiang Xubai.

His current goal is to rub out [Dujiangyan].

But if he wants to build [Dujiangyan], he doesn't have enough money at all. Jiang Xubai estimates that with the little money in his hand, he can probably dig two holes next to Dujiangyan.

To take a step back, even if he has enough money, he still needs to discuss with the ministers of the DPRK and China to decide if he wants to build [Dujiangyan].

After all, no matter from the point of view of manpower and material resources, this is not a small amount of consumption. Whether those people can agree is another matter.

Bashu cannot lose [Dujiangyan], which is equivalent to the West cannot lose Jerusalem...

But it can't be built now, so [Dujiangyan] can be put aside first.

Because besides [Dujiangyan], Jiang Xubai has a second card, which is papermaking!

There is also paper in this world, but it is used by some nobles to go to the toilet, and it is difficult to write, so Jiang Xubai plans to start directly by improving papermaking.

One of the four great inventions [Papermaking], this is a special achievement that can be completed when certain conditions are met

Jiang Xubai already had this plan when he was a hostage in Liang State before. The reason why he didn't start papermaking is because he was in Liang State. Now that he has returned to Shu State, he can let go of his hands and feet.

Because the threshold of papermaking is relatively low, and the cost is relatively low, the expenditure is small, and the benefits are huge.

【Papermaking】

[The night moon is soaked in the cold stream, knocking on the ice and lifting the curtain to cut the fat evenly.It is as firm and slippery as jade when baked, and there is no doubt that a picture of a hundred dollars. 】

[Achievement conditions: popularize more than 50% of the country (completed 0%). 】

[Achievement reward: 200 brilliant points;

The country where papermaking technology appears will get a unique modifier - Birthplace of papermaking technology. 】

A full [-] points of brilliant points, is the group with the highest income among the achievements.

This achievement does not mean making a good piece of paper, but popularizing paper. Jiang Xubai must spread paper to half of the country.

Similarly, among the four great inventions [Compass], [Gunpowder], and [Movable Type Printing], the conditions required are relatively difficult.

In terms of difficulty alone, [Papermaking] is very suitable for Jiang Xubai now.

The first thing I did when I returned home was to make the molds needed for papermaking.

In his previous life, Jiang Xubai tried to make paper when he was idle, and he also had experience. The main materials, such as bark and fishing nets, were also easy to make. Soon Jiang Xubai made the first batch of paper.

Different from the one in the imagination line, the paper produced is somewhat yellowish and rough, and some fibers can be seen if you look closely.

Of course, it didn't affect writing. Jiang Xubai tried to write his own name, and the effect was not bad.

The use of paper trade can allow Jiang Xubai to obtain considerable funds in the short term. In the future, the possibility that the paper will be cracked by other countries and the money earned in the later period will be greatly reduced.

Funding is secondary, of course, mainly to that splendor point and that unique modifier.

Two hundred brilliant points are enough to light up the stars twice, not to mention a special correction.

However, Jiang Xubai knew in his heart that as a child of the royal family, it was better not to use his own name to engage in business, so he needed someone to replace him in business.

Gradually, a name appeared in Jiang Xubai's mind, Xu Jiuchang, a famous merchant in Sichuan.

He has enough contacts and prestige, and more importantly, he is not from Shizi's side.

Jiang Xubai needs his workshop and network market, so that he can promote faster and earn more money.

Xu Jiuchang is easy to find, he often haunts Fireworks and Willow Lane, which means he must be there every time there is an anti-pornography crackdown.

In fact, Jiang Xubai really wanted to go and see it. It's a pity that I haven't seen the customs and customs of another world after coming to this world for so long.

As for why he didn't go, it wasn't because he couldn't find it, it was because he was at odds with gambling and drugs!

……

Jinguan City has ten east and west streets, and eight north and south streets, which divide Jinguan City into several squares in an orderly manner. With the west market as the leader, 23 shops belong to Xu Jiuchang.

Since the king of Shu released restrictions on commerce and attracted caravans to settle in Jinguan City, the status of merchants has become higher and higher.

As one of them, Xu Jiuchang's methods may be a bit dishonest. Compared with others, he is considered a conscientious businessman.

When he was about to go to Miaoyin Pavilion, a news came suddenly.

The third son wants to see him.

This made him very surprised, he had never met the third son, why did he suddenly want to meet him?
This Miaoyin Pavilion is unavoidable, hurry up and pack it up, and go to see the third son, no matter what you say, the third son is a royal family, you must take it seriously!He even took a shower and changed his clothes.

……

After arriving at Jiang Xubai's residence, Xu Jiuchang met the third young master.

A very handsome young man, although he is not as weak as the crown, but his speech and demeanor are calm and steady.

Poured a cup of tea for Xu Jiuchang, Jiang Xubai said with a smile, "Tea please, sir."

The disciples of the Wang family poured the tea himself, Xu Jiuchang wanted to drink it of course, he picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, then Jiang Xubai poured it for him again.

Jiang Xubai didn't have any pretensions from the royal family, but this made Xu Jiuchang a little restless, so he asked, "I don't know what's the important thing for you to call the little people here?"

"There is indeed something important to ask."

He smiled at Xu Jiuchang, and then Jiang Xubai said: "I got a treasure by chance, but I don't know the price. I have seen a lot, and I want to ask you to evaluate it."

Is this the case...

Although he felt strange in his heart, Xu Jiuchang still cupped his hands to Jiang Xubai and said, "Xiaomin do his best!"

Seeing Xu Jiuchang's cautious look, Jiang Xubai smiled, and then said to the servant next to him: "Take the paper."

Paper?What's so nice about paper?

Xu Jiuchang was full of doubts, but he didn't say anything. After all, a son shouldn't lie to himself, right?

"Young master, the paper you want."

At this time, the servant came out, holding a stack of papers in his hands, and placed them in front of Jiang Xubai's desk.

Paper? ?This is paper? ?
When the well-informed Xu Jiuchang saw this thing, he was shocked.

It's not that he has never seen paper, the current paper is very rough, and it is not as good as cloth for writing, so few people use it.

However, the paper on Jiang Xubai's case was whiter and thinner than the paper he had seen.

Jiang Xubai picked up a pen and slowly wrote on the paper——

"The mountains and rivers are like clusters, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are outside and inside the Shengguan Road, looking at the east capital, hesitant, sad, where the Yanqi Jingjing is, the palaces and palaces are all made of soil, prosperity, the people suffer! Death, the people suffer!"

"Please take a look, sir."

After finishing the first ci, Jiang Xubai blew on the pen and ink twice, then handed it to Xu Jiuchang, who took it tremblingly.

After reading the words written by Jiang Xubai, Xu Jiuchang couldn't calm down even more.

A good sentence is "prosperity, the people suffer! Death, the people suffer."

good paper!good words!
It's just ugly.
