"Thousands of dollars per piece?" Lu Bu was not surprised at all. After all, the price Li Fan had received from Lu Bu before was eight hundred dollars.

"Thousands of dollars is my minimum estimate. After all, even many rich people have never been exposed to this kind of paper. Obtaining one is enough to prove their noble status." Mi Zhu said doubtfully: "It's just that many Jin people have appeared in various places recently.

Paper, although it is worth more than one piece, is also rare."

Speaking of this, Mi Zhu's eyes flashed with light, "Jin paper? Could it be produced in Jinyang?"

"In that case, is Zizhong willing to sell this thing for me?" Lu Bu deeply felt that his men lacked business talents. He even thought about dragging Mi Zhu to Bingzhou. Although the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce was established, the merchants in Jinyang were still in trouble.

Compared with businessmen in other places, they still lack the foundation.

"My lord, I can't thank you enough." Mi Zhu bowed and said. Not only was this a hugely profitable business, selling paper, he also came into contact with literati, which could invisibly increase his influence.

Naturally, Lu Bu didn't know what Mi Zhu was thinking, and thought there was a lot of profit in it.

"Eight hundred dollars per ticket. If Zizhong needs it in the future, just ask Mr. Li Su directly."

Hearing these words, Mi Zhu stiffened. She had as many pieces of paper as she wanted, and she thought Lu Bu had just these.

Mi Zhu saw a huge business opportunity, an opportunity for the Mi family to develop rapidly. Selling paper, if it is done properly, it is not a problem to sell a piece of paper for two thousand yuan. Top people value face and comparison, and money is important to them.

Say it's just numbers.

"My lord, with such a source of wealth, the prosperity of Bingzhou will be just around the corner." Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said.

"Zizhong, you don't know how important money is when you are not a family member. The military salary of Bingzhou army needs four million a month. I have no choice but to discuss the sale of paper with Zizhong. I hope Zizhong will not leak it.

." Lu Bu said.

The military salary of four million yuan a month shocked Mi Zhu. How many troops did Bingzhou have to need so much money? Even two Xuzhous could not afford so much military salary in a month. It seemed that Lu Bu had something wrong.

Small.

"Don't worry, sir, I understand." Mi Zhu said.

It's not that Lu Bu was unwilling to reveal that it was the paper he was selling. According to the analysis of Jia Xu and Li Su, this kind of copper-smelling work is the most disgusting to scholars in the world, and it is also paper related to them. Those who can't afford paper

Don't the literati secretly hate Lu Bu? This would be very detrimental to Bingzhou.

Cai Yong strongly disagreed with the sale of paper. In his opinion, something so important to literati should not be contaminated with the smell of copper. After Lu Bu carefully explained the situation in Bingzhou, he could only reluctantly agree.

Who made Bingzhou barren?

"Lao Zizhong has to deal with food and grass matters." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Please be at ease, Sir." Mi Zhu said with a cup of his hand. There is no shortage of food in Xuzhou, as long as there is enough money, and with the Mi family's network, it is very simple to get food and grass, but transporting food and grass is quite expensive.

Mi Zhu left with satisfaction. He had a premonition that as long as the relationship with Lu Bu was properly handled, the Mi family would become stronger.

The day passed in a hurry, and Lu Bu felt that dealing with such matters was more tiring than marching and fighting. Sure enough, he had to specialize in the arts.

The next day, Lu Bu changed into ordinary clothes and took Lu Lingqi with him, wandering around the city. Dian Wei stared at the surroundings with a vigilant look. Not far away, several personal guards were disguised and mixed in the crowd, and there were even more secretly.

The eagles watched along the way.

Little Lu Lingqi seemed very happy to be able to go out on the street with her father. She curiously asked questions along the way and had more and more gadgets in her hands.

"Father, Ling'er is hungry." Lu Lingqi pulled Lu Bu's sleeve and said.

"Okay, let's talk to my father about what Ling'er wants to eat." Lu Bu's face was full of care.

"Shall we go to this restaurant?" Lu Lingqi, perhaps really hungry, pointed to a restaurant in front of her without thinking.

After the Prefecture and Mufu government integrated Jinyang City, all the shops facing the street were basically taken back. If merchants want to open a shop, it is very simple. They can rent it by paying a certain rent. If they have enough money, they can also buy it.

But few businessmen choose to buy, and the world is uneasy. They don't want to invest all their money in one place, so more businessmen choose to rent.

The layout of this restaurant is very simple. The first floor is the same as the second floor. There are many tables and tables neatly placed indoors. There are no elegant rooms. It is already noon and the store is very busy with people coming and going.

After a rough look, Lu Bu nodded slightly. You could see many ordinary people in the restaurant. It seemed that the lives of the people in Jinyang had gradually improved, and many people had money to eat in restaurants.

"Master, what would you like to eat?" The waiter in the restaurant wiped the table hard and asked with a smile.

"Bring over your restaurant's signature dishes to try, and a bottle of wine," Lu Bu replied.

With a smile on his face, the waiter poured two cups of tea and left in a hurry.

The chatter of the diners nearby caught Lu Bu's attention.

"Boy from the Zhang family, I heard that you went to the recruiting center? What else can you do?"

"Brother Zhao, everyone can enter the recruitment hall. Besides, I'm not going there just to be an official."

"Just what you have in your hands, there are probably many people in Jinyang who have it, and you still go to the Talent Recruitment Hall to embarrass yourself."

"Brother Zhao, although this thing is dark, it is much better to use than firewood, and it smokes less when burned."

Lu Bu's expression changed, and he turned his attention to the two people not far away. The more he listened, the more Lu Bu felt that the other person was talking about coal.

By the way, Bingzhou is located in Shanxi in later generations. If coal was really discovered in this era, it would be a big fortune.

"Brothers, can I sit here?" Lu Bu asked with a shy face.

"Yes, it's okay." Seeing Lu Bu's majestic appearance, the two of them hurriedly stood up and said.

"May I ask the names of these two brothers? I am Qiao Bu, a native of Jinyang." Lu Bu said, cupping his hands.

"I'm Zhang Ji. Others call me Zhang Si, from Jinyang. This is Zhao Zhong, the second eldest son of the Zhao family, also from Jinyang." Zhang Ji replied.

After a chat, Lu Bu also found out the whole story. After seeing what Zhang Ji brought, Lu Bu became more and more sure that it was coal. It seemed that he had to go to the recruitment hall, otherwise he would have missed a lot.

Useful items are not a sin.

The recruitment hall can be described as a crowded place. When the State Council of Ministers first issued the notice, there were very few applicants. Everyone wanted to be hired by the government. Basically, there were many people watching the excitement, and very few people actually applied and were admitted.

Some ordinary people who tried their luck also came to sign up, and Zhang Ji was one of them.
