Three Kingdoms: The identity of the eldest son of the Great Wei was exposed by Dian Wei

Chapter 142 Selling Paper, Wool of the Princes!!

The next day, King Wei’s Mansion, Council Chamber.

Cao Cao ordered all the strategists to come to the council chamber, and after Cao Cao looked around at everyone, Xun or said in a slight whisper.

“Lord Qiyu, now that Xudu Academy has been built, the talent reserve of me and others has been guaranteed, but it is necessary to prevent the family from coming to make trouble.”

“In addition, the large amount of paper I have stored can be sold, and the production scale is gradually expanding.”

“According to the proposal of Shizi, different prices can be set to make the southern princes and families consume a lot of money.”

Listening to Xun Yu’s words, a smile appeared on everyone’s faces, and they all agreed in this regard.

After all, as soon as this paper comes out, it will definitely be popular among gentlemen, as long as you have been exposed to new paper, your dependence on bamboo will be reduced.

Bamboo sticks are inconvenient to carry and write, not only costly, but also less practical than paper.

A look appeared on Cao Cao’s face, although he really wanted to send troops to harvest the south now, but Cao Chen’s advice made him take it to heart.

Now is not the right time to send troops, but you can consume the economic strength of other princes first, Cao Cao said with a smile.

“Zi Zhan, since the paper is ready to be sold now, how to price the paper?”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, everyone looked at Cao Chen, after all, this paper was made by him, and there was a precedent of Du Kang wine.

For this new type of paper to be convenient for students around the world, and at the same time it can bring a lot of income to Cao Ying, Cao Chen said after a little thought.

“In fact, the cost of paper is not high, you should know that the materials required are from cheap things, and the cost is increased by labor.”

“Now with the expansion of production scale, the number of personnel required is gradually increasing, and if it is expanded in the future, it will also need to have capital reserves.”

“The income from the sale of paper should be separated separately for the expenses of the village middle school and Xudu College, and it should not be used for other purposes, and the price should not be too low.”

When Cao Chen said this, he paused slightly, and everyone was full of expectations for the price Cao Chen said.

Hearing that Cao Chen’s proposed income should not be used for other purposes, everyone understood, after all, the people used for this paper were mainly Yashi, a person under the heavens.

The pen in their hands spreads a lot of power, just as the so-called public mouth is gold, and three people become tigers, this money cannot be used privately.

Otherwise, it will be rumored that Cao Ying uses paper for profit, ignoring the desire of students all over the world to study, so that this cultural inheritance thing has a copper smell.

Now that this income is used for the expenses of the academy and the construction of the village middle school, there is no way for everyone to say anything, Cao Chen continued.

“Unlike Du Kang wine, which is sold to the target, Du Kang wine is worth ten thousand dollars, because the necessities of drinking wine and life earn the money of the family, the rich merchants.”

“The paper is different, the price cannot be too high, in the counties under our jurisdiction, only one price or two sheets can be sold, the price cannot be too high.”

“But if it is spread to other states and counties, the price cannot be less than a hundred dollars, under such measures, Wen He must let Jinyiwei keep an eye on the point.”

Jia Xuan, who was sitting in the corner, heard this, and immediately took it up and answered, which is indeed acceptable for such a price.

Paper is a consumable, once the literati Yashi is addicted, and then it will continue to buy, small profits but quick sales.

As for the paper that was transmitted to the southern princely territories, no one would object to how high the price was, but Cao Cao said with a frown.

“Zi Zhan, the price difference between the prefectures and counties under my jurisdiction and other princely territories is too great, in this case, there will definitely be many merchants who will take risks.”

“Even if Wen He takes Jin Yiwei with him, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort, and the profit of transportation to other states and counties is too great.”

Listen to Cao Cao’s concerns,… Everyone nodded thoughtfully, such a situation is naturally not less, not everyone can resist such a temptation.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Cao Chen, looking at his calm expression, there should be a countermeasure, Cao Chen added unhurriedly.

“The sale of the first batch of paper can be allowed to spread to the southern land, without much precaution, so it is helping me to wait for the paper to pass on the name.”

“Hearing such a price gimmick, it will naturally attract the attention of literati, and they will buy one or two copies to try it out, but they will not be comfortable with books in the future.”

“Starting from the second batch, we will start to grasp the typical, and the first batch of merchants and families sold to the south can directly take out the typical, and then copy the house to show the public.”

A smile appeared on Cao Chen’s face after speaking, and while everyone was still thinking, a ray of essence flashed in Guo Jia’s eyes, and he said aloud.

“What Shizi means is that starting from the second time to grasp the typical, I think it must be accompanied by reducing the number of paper sales.”

“Students and gentlemen can’t buy the paper they need, so naturally they have resentment in their hearts, and then punish those typical of businessmen.”

“In this way, the anger of the people will be concentrated among the merchants, because the paper sold in the South has reduced the paper in the states and counties.”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, everyone gasped, and a hint of relief flashed in Cao Cao’s eyes, and he said with a smile.

“After two waves of such a blow, I am afraid that no one will dare to sell it privately, otherwise it will be the loss of fame and fortune.”

“At that time, I can sell the paper to other states and counties thoroughly, make a lot of money, and make those princes feel painful.”

Everyone listened to Cao Cao’s words, the smile on their faces was even greater, and Ju Zhicai found the blind spot and said after bowing.

“Shizi should want to use this to attract students from the south, and coupled with the large number of Confucians in Xuchang Academy, it is very attractive to them.”

“In addition, the price of paper in the south is high, ordinary students naturally cannot afford it, and will consider relocating to the states and counties under our jurisdiction.”

“For the profit of paper later, being able to directly attract the young talents it has lost is more important to weaken the Maison.”

The words of the drama Zhicai made everyone seem to suddenly realize, and they all looked at Cao Chen with some incredulity, and the plan was so deep.

However, for Cao Chen, this is also a normal operation, Cao Chen’s face was calm, and after a long sigh of relief, he said slowly.

“In fact, there is another point, that is, as the paper is sold, the cost of books will decrease, so some families will definitely not be able to sit still.”

“Even if I haven’t released a printed book yet, this alone can shake the foundation of the Maison.”

After all, presumably with the previous bamboo Jane, it would be much more convenient to copy on paper, Cao Cao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a slightly majestic voice sounded.

“Aren’t we waiting for those families to jump out, and the paper will be sold from tomorrow!”
