Sky Dragon Rider

The fourth-rank staff officer was also an officer in size. The guards outside the gate of the "Charge Horn" bastion looked at each other, and immediately separated a few people to go forward.

The spring-absorbing four-wheeled box is filled with thin wooden boxes, and a huge roll of leather is pressed on the top of the hill-like box, which seems to be carefully processed bull hide.

These strong soldiers moved quickly and moved several boxes to the four-wheel flatbed truck, and then followed Li Mubing, the younger sister of the Li family sisters, into the bastion, and the rest continued to help unload the goods until it was emptied.

"My lord, what is this?"

Seeing Li Mubing, the fourth-class staff officer of the eastern group, coming with a flatbed cart, the commander of the military bastion looked at the thin wooden box on the cart in amazement.

He could guess that this was a shelf for storage, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember anything that needed to be boxed and stored in this way recently.

"Mr. Macmillan, it's writing paper! There are about 4 boxes, size A50, 100 packs per box, 100 sheets per pack, a total of [-] million sheets!"

Kacha, Li Mubing opened a wooden box while talking. The top and one side adopt a special tenon lock mechanism, which can be opened with bare hands without tools.

The bastion officer is in charge of the largest material reserve in the bastion. Most people in the military department must deal with this officer Macmillan. Whether it is returning tools or borrowing or receiving various supplies, they must Handled by him.

"Writing paper? One million sheets?"

Whether it was the nouns or the quantifiers spoken by the other party, Steward McMillan couldn't help but feel dizzy for a while.

Watching helplessly as Li Mubing pulled out a package of things neatly packed in unknown yellow materials from the box, he tore them apart casually, revealing the snow-white, layer upon layer, piece by piece, extremely thin things inside that made him dizzy even more.

"No! A4 size writing paper has a texture of 125 grams. Don't ask me what A4 and gram weight are. This is the factory specification of the paper mill. You just need to know it. There are five hundred other dip pens , [-] barrels of writing ink in two liters, [-] pencils, some erasers, [-] pieces each of compasses, ruler, and triangular ruler, and I will give you a list after everything is complete."

Li Mubing took out a piece of snow-white rectangular paper from the thick yellow high-strength packing paper, and shook it in front of the steward, causing the other party to gasp, no, and even rolled his eyes.

The cost of paper in this world is extremely high, and the output is also very limited, especially the paper product shaking in front of him, the Secretary has never seen such a white, thin, high-quality paper before.

Thinking of the number of copies reaching 100 million, McMillan couldn't help but his heart beat wildly. Is the other party going to store a gold mountain?

He could clearly see the faint golden light on the snow-white paper, but he swallowed hard, shook his head as if he had made some kind of difficult decision, and said, "No, I can't let you enter the warehouse. This military department has no procurement plan at all, and it can't afford it."

He was afraid that as soon as he entered the treasury, he would be charged with misusing public funds.

"You don't have to worry about the price, you only need to be responsible for the storage and registration, and the rest will naturally be taken care of by a special person."

Li Mubing naturally saw the worry of the secretary, after all, paper is still a relatively expensive thing in this world, especially the quantity of 100 million sheets.

"That, that's fine! Please wait a moment!"

Only then did Steward McMillan feel relieved, and he summoned two small officials to accompany the guards who helped him, and began to enter the warehouse.

Once, with the assistance of a steel flat cart that could carry five or six hundred kilograms, two hundred boxes of paper were quickly sent to a special warehouse in the bastion, where they were put together with a large amount of parchment.

Carefully holding an abacus in his hand, the steward carefully and meticulously checked the acceptance, signed the list in quadruplicate, and left his own copy at the same time.

Of course, there was another item that was not put into the warehouse directly, but sent to the office of Lord Adelaide, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs.

The emperor's political hall is not open every day, and the military and political ministers happen to be in the office.

"Lord Adelaide!"

Li Muxin and his younger sister Li Mubing saluted Adelaide as a military salute, but it was not the usual chest-beating salute of the Slan Empire, but a hand-raising salute of the earth's military.

With a touch of American style, he flicked his palm neatly, and the ceremony was over.

Because of the habit of thinking of accepting the new practice of door-to-door reporting, the raising of hands was also accepted by the military department.

Fresh and practical things are always easy to spread. Raising hands is especially popular among civilian officials in the military department. This has led to a clear distinction between the etiquette of military officials. It is easy to distinguish the characteristics of the other party's job through etiquette.

"'Xin', 'Bing', I heard that the paper mill has started, right?"

The closeness to the water is the first to get the moon, and the royal family purchases writing paper in large quantities. The military department, as the most closely related department, naturally wants to take the lead. Adelaide has already received a notification from the secretary.

"Yes, my lord! The first batch of standard A4 writing paper, the quantity is about 100 million sheets, and a batch of stationery, all of which have been put into storage. This is the list."

The paper that the sisters of the Li family brought to the military department was only part of the royal family's purchases. In addition to the various product names, specifications and quantities, a price figure was added to the list that the sister Li Muxin handed over to the minister of the military department.

"Five thousand 790 three gold coins?"

The list with the added price figure turned into a bill, but this figure still made the Minister of Military Affairs slightly startled.

"Lord Adelaide, this price is already the lowest preferential price for government procurement, and it cannot be any cheaper."

As for kickbacks, Li Muxin and his younger sister Li Mubing wouldn't think about it at all. In fact, Qi Fei was even more confident.

Now is the stage of the seller's market, and the seller has the final say on the whole family. If you don't reap a large profit at this time, when will you wait? !

"No, no, I, I just didn't expect it to be so cheap. I took it as 50 gold coins, ha ha! But, is it really more than 5000 gold coins? I heard correctly!"

Adelaide smiled dryly to cover up his embarrassment, but couldn't help feeling a little shocked in his heart.

In his mind's bottom line, buying 50 million pieces of high-quality writing paper with 100 gold coins is not a loss, but a very favorable deal.

You must know that whether it is in the Islamic Empire or other empires, it is not easy to gather 100 million sheets of paper in a short period of time, even if it is Mosuo papyrus of relatively poor quality, let alone the paper provided by the sisters of the Li family. Still the best quality paper ever.

More than 5000 gold coins, this price is almost the same as grabbing, it is too unexpected.

"That's right, Lord Adelaide, a total of 790 gold coins, the military only needs to pay 790 gold coins!"

Li Muxin nodded lightly, and re-reported the payment amount. Although the three gold coins were erased, it also gave the other party a hint that the price did not have too much value.

Sure enough, the thoughts and reactions of the military and political ministers could not escape the observation and psychological analysis of the Li family sisters. As Qi Fei expected, this price would definitely drive the royal family and the military of the Slan empire crazy.

Although I lost a lot of gold coins, I was able to exchange for the two thick legs of the royal family and the military. In the future, not only writing paper, but also other paper products and even printing workshops and other workshops will gain the strength of both. shelter.

Even if someone wants to develop the idea of ​​these industries in the future, they must first weigh the attitudes of His Majesty the Emperor and the military and political ministers before doing so.

Although there is the violent protection of the Royal Dragoon Legion behind Lin Mo, sometimes, fists alone cannot solve all problems.

"Okay! You really won't lose money? I can pay for the goods now."

The military and political ministers thought about it for the Li family sisters.

"We won't lose too much. We are honored to serve the Empire, Lord Adelaide. But before that, my sister 'Bing' and I have one more thing to show you."

Li Muxin skillfully snapped his fingers.

Two bastion guards, one behind the other, came in carrying a roll of light yellow objects that were extremely long and extremely thick in diameter.

"This is?" Adelaide, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, was taken aback, but after seeing the Li family sisters waved back the guards and jointly spread out the roll, he couldn't help but gasped. (To be continued. Please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
