They Have a System in Daqin

After the thief took the task, he naturally had to do his best. After all, this matter was in his hands, and there was no sloppy attack.

Jiang Ziyi finally discovered a little bit of this man's merits. The Pirate has rarely stayed at the mansion since he took up the task, and has almost always been outside to check the person's origin.

Even so, the theft of plantars is really bad, even if Jiang Ziyi saw him investigating the case so seriously. There is no way to trust him at all.

So while the theft was being investigated, Jiang Ziyi also asked Moon God to help investigate the matter. It's just that neither side has found any news, which makes Jiang Ziyi very strange. After all, the intelligence networks on both sides are not small, and even this has not found a way out.

Could it be a coincidence that the one who came to the assassination just likes tattoos, so he has such a thing on his neck?

But since this fact has no clue, Jiang Ziyi put the matter down first. Anyway, if you can't find it, you can just let the thief go to toss. Just before he completes the final task he gave him, find him something to do, lest he be too idle.

Moreover, even if someone came to kill Jiang Ziyi now, it was definitely not Jiang Ziyi's opponent. As for the beauties in Fuzhong, none of them are vegetarian.

Therefore, the mansion where Jiang Ziyi lives is Yingying Yanyan at first glance, a group of weak women surrounded him and a casual person. In fact, if a golden soup is like a copper wall and an iron wall, not everyone can come in and get out alive.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Ziyi let go of his heart. Anyway, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, not to mention that I still have a system to escort him invisibly, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

At exactly this time, Jiang Ziyi's papermaking technology has developed to a certain scale. Not only the capital of Qin, but also other places have heard of this, and many people have come to buy it, whether it is a romantic literati, a scholar, a scholar, a scholar, and an official.

Someone below has tasted the sweetness, and naturally they want Jiang Ziyi to further expand the scale. There are even many people who suggest that it can be widely sold in the Seven Kingdoms and the like to expand the market.

This includes Concubine Yan, Concubine Yan said, "Now only selling paper in Xianyang, it is already so much wealth. If it can be sold in the Seven Kingdoms, you don’t have to mention the other places in the Seven Kingdoms. Selling in the capital of the country is equivalent to seven times this wealth."

Listening to Concubine Yan's talk, Jiang Ziyi seemed very optimistic. Jiang Ziyi poured himself a glass of wine and pointed, "Women's opinion."(Read more @ mtlarchive.com)

Concubine Yan was stunned by these words, but she felt that Jiang Ziyi would not dislike herself like this for no reason, and seriously reflected on what she had just said, but she still had no clue.

Concubine Yan humbly asked for advice, "What about your opinion?"

Jiang Ziyi asked, "Why do you think my paper is selling well, so many people want to buy it?"

Concubine Yan thought for a while and said seriously, "Compared with silk, silk, and bamboo slips, paper is more portable. Originally, the same bamboo slips as Leishan, all written on paper, may be only half a person tall."

Jiang Ziyi said, "That's right. But this is the superficial reason, my paper is sought after, so many people want to buy it, and there are deeper reasons."

Concubine Yan said in surprise, "Also? What else is there?"

Jiang Ziyi said, "Because things are rare and expensive."

Concubine Yan was startled. Seemingly understanding, looking at Jiang Ziyi, he felt as if he had grasped something but didn't fully understand it.

Jiang Ziyi said, "Look, my paper materials are cheap, they are all cotton and linen wood, so the cost must be low. The main reason why I can sell at this high price now is the craftsmanship, the whole Daqin, even said Within the Seven Kingdoms, only my family knows how to turn cotton and hemp bark into paper."

Concubine Yan said, "But what does this have to do with the scarcity of things?"

Jiang Ziyi shook his head, nodded Concubine Yan's head, and cursed half-truth, "Stupid."

Concubine Yan pursed her mouth, as if she was aggrieved. However, she felt that Jiang Ziyi was so confident and pointed Jiangshan that she loved it to death, so there was no way to resist it.

Jiang Ziyi continued to explain, "According to what you said, the paper is sold in the seven countries with a semicolon. Then I have to tell at least seven craftsmen about the craftsmanship of making paper. They can only go to the seven countries to open a semicolon after they know the craft. It means that when the business in the capital of the seven countries grows, it will continue to branch down. In this way, more and more people know the craftsmanship."

Concubine Yan finally understood, and rushed to answer, "The original materials are not valuable. More and more people know the craftsmanship, which means that the craftsmanship is becoming less and less valuable, so the paper is bound to be sold at lower prices."

Jiang Ziyi nodded his head and applauded, "That's what it means. And we still can't guarantee that if the craftsman after going out knows the craftsmanship and suddenly stops doing it at our house, what should he do if he goes out and raises a little money to stand on his own?"

Concubine Yan said, "The two technologies are the same, and competition will inevitably depress prices. And the more popular things are, the less valuable they are."

Jiang Ziyi smiled and said, "So we have to implement hunger marketing."

Concubine Yan asked, "What is hunger marketing?"

Jiang Ziyi said, "Simple, that is, from now on, our paper will only be sold for a fixed amount every 277 days, and the part that exceeds this amount will not be sold."

Jiang Ziyi wanted to limit the paper to the royal family doctor's exclusive use, and turn it into the nobles' exclusive use, so as to increase the value of the paper. If we just continue to develop like this, sooner or later paper will be popularized. After popularization, papermaking will be worthless.

Concubine Yan snuggled into Jiang Ziyi’s arms, and said with a little respect, “It’s really your long-term perspective. No wonder you just said my woman’s opinion. After listening to the words you just said, I realized that I really am Seen from the woman."

Jiang Ziyi touched the satin-like hair of Concubine Yan and said nothing. In fact, there is another reason why he doesn't want papermaking to spread outside the Seven Kingdoms.

That is, although he is now in a state of being detached from Qin, it is a historical trend for Qin to unify the six kingdoms. But now that he alone provides Qin with papermaking skills, it is considered a favor. After all, it is much more convenient to use paper to convey messages or record text than bamboo slips. This is naturally more conducive to the development of Qin.

In the future, as long as Jiang Ziyi deliberately pretends to mention it unintentionally in front of Yingzheng, he can sell a favor. By the way, it can also be seen as his loyalty to the State of Qin. After all, at first glance, he seems to have the huge market of the Six Nations, and he is loyal to Qin.
