Qin Shi Mingyue Taoist Master Uncle

For this approach, the people all praised it.
However, those nobles who hoarded a lot of paper had complicated feelings about this matter.
It stands to reason that it is definitely a good thing that Qin Paper's price reduction is definitely a good thing, at least it will save a lot of money when buying paper in the future, but they are not happy about it.
During the previous price reduction activities, they had already bought a lot, and they didn't need to buy any more in a short time.
If the original price is used as the standard, this is naturally a profit.
But now the price of Qin paper has dropped by another [-]%. In contrast, I am hoarding Qin paper at a price that is [-]% higher than the current market price.
Wouldn't it save more money if you waited to buy now?
In this way of thinking, this matter is obviously a loss.
The more I think about it, the more unhappy I feel, especially when I see others happily buying cheaper paper, I feel even more aggrieved.
But even if they were upset, there was nowhere to let it go. After all, no one forced them to buy it at the beginning, but they were willing to buy it, so who is to blame?
After the price of Qin paper was lowered again, more people bought it, and even some petty bourgeoisie families can use it frequently.
Although the big nobles are richer, but the real upper-class people are a minority after all, so compared to before, the current sales are indeed much higher.
So far, this kind of paper has really spread to all parts of the country, and one tenth of the families can afford the cost of Qin paper.
One-tenth of the population is actually quite a lot, but compared to the total number of people, it is still only a small number of people.
And Beichen's purpose of making paper in the first place was not just to meet the needs of a small number of people.
Another half year later, Qin Zhi ushered in the third price cut, and the price cut this time was even stronger.
On the basis of the second price reduction, the selling price was reduced by two thirds again.
In other words, the price of Qin paper is only one-tenth of the original price.
After learning about this, people were all surprised. If the price was lowered to such a low level, wouldn't it be true that there would be no loss?
But the surprise turned into a surprise, and I was very happy in my heart, so that at least half of the people should be able to use paper.
But at this time, those nobles were stunned.
Now the price of Qin paper is only [-]% of the initial price, that is to say, I was snapping up this thing at ten times the price before.And showing off everywhere...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
For more than a year, the price of Qin paper has plummeted, and the money that could have bought one piece of paper can now buy ten.
This kind of change was obviously unexpected by everyone, especially those nobles, whenever they thought that they were snapping up Qin paper at ten times the price before, they would hold their breath and feel very upset.
However, these people still don't understand why Qin Paper is selling well, and why the price has to be lowered again and again. Isn't this a problem with money?
They really don't believe the set of rhetoric that is really to give back to customers.
Although the nobles were cheated by lowering the price so low, it was the businessmen who lost the most.
It is obvious that Qin paper can be made into a cornucopia, but it is worthless to make it cheaper for the common people. What's the point of such an approach?
The aristocrats of the aristocratic family have always been self-interested advocates. They will never do things that harm themselves and benefit others. In their view, it is a very stupid thing to sacrifice the interests of the nobles to make ordinary people live better.
It is precisely because of this that these talents are even more unable to understand what Ying Zheng and Bei Chen did.
But no matter what the nobles think, most people are very happy to accept the substantial price reduction of Qin paper.
Nowadays, the price of Qin paper is even cheaper than bamboo slips, and any family that can maintain daily food and clothing can afford to buy it.
This is undoubtedly a surprise for those poor people who are devoted to studying.
Today's paper is not only exclusive to nobles, but commoners are also eligible to use it, so the range of users is also expanding rapidly.
With the increasing number of buyers, the output of Qin paper has also increased several times, and the various workshops started working day and night to barely meet the market demand.
However, because the price is set too low, even though the sales volume is high, the profit is not rising but falling compared to before.
Although it is still possible to make a lot of money overall, it is no longer a huge profit.
In addition, some competitors have started to appear in the market, and others have started to sell similar paper.
Although the workmanship is a little worse, the price is lower, and it has also diverted a lot of customers.
As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although the method of making Qin paper has been kept secret, some information has still been leaked.
Things like this are inevitable as things scale.
Papermaking is not complicated. As long as a part of the production method is revealed, it is possible to deduce a complete manufacturing technology.
The paper business was originally monopolized by the royal family, but now there are business snatchers.
Originally, many people thought that Ying Zheng would definitely not allow such a thing, but what they didn't expect was that the mighty Emperor Shi Huang didn't take any action, as if he didn't notice.
Under such indulgence, the business of pirated Qin paper is also getting better and better, and they have made a lot of money.
Seeing this scene, the nobles thought again and wanted to make a fortune.
Today's Qin paper has gradually become popular, and the manufacturing technology can be obtained with the ability of the aristocratic family. It's just that it was afraid of Yingzheng looking for trouble before, so it refrained from reaching out.
But now that someone has come to explore the way first, and there is nothing wrong, their courage has naturally grown.
