284. Consuming a huge amount of paper, a headache!
These white papers were made by Liu Zhe's rewards from the system. The production scale has not yet been expanded. The papers produced are only for the main figures in Youzhou. Everyone gives them not much, and everyone cherishes them very much and is reluctant to use them.
But here, Liu Zhe saw that his father-in-law was using it almost without restraint. The amount of white paper here has been produced in Youzhou for two months. Even if it was converted into gold to calculate, it was tens of thousands of taels of gold.
Damn, this father-in-law is really... a prodigal son!
"Son-in-law, you are here just right. The amount of paper is not enough. Can you tell the butler and give me some more?" Cai Yong said this when he saw Liu Zhe.
Liu Zhe turned dark and asked, "My father-in-law, why do you want so much white paper?"
"This is naturally to copy the precious books in the library and then let the scholars of the people read." Cai Yong did not mention it. He now asked a group of scholars to help him copy, and he was busy copying himself.
“Free?”
"Of course, such good things that benefit the people will still have to be affected by the smell of money?" Cai Yong said disdainfully.
Liu Zhe resisted the urge to vomit blood and asked, "My father-in-law, do you know how much this piece of white paper is sold outside?"
"How much?"
Cai Yong really didn't know the price. He took all these blank papers directly from the theater meeting. The theater meeting was given so much because he was Liu Zhe's father-in-law. Otherwise, he would have been beaten to death with sticks.
Seeing Liu Zhe’s face dark, Guo Jia suppressed the smile in his heart and explained: “Cai Pavilion, a piece of white paper costs 100 cents.”
When Cai Yong heard this, he was surprised and said, "So expensive?"
Liu Zhe asked with a dark face: "My father-in-law, do you know how much the white paper in this room is worth?"
Cai Yong shook his head, and he asked a little guiltyly: "How many?"
"Ten thousand taels of gold."
This number scared Cai Yong's chrysanthemums tightened, but when he looked at the extremely precious collection of books around him, his heart was fine.
He looked at Liu Zheyu and said earnestly: "Son-in-law, these books are priceless treasures, how can they be measured by money? Even if you use millions and millions, I will keep these books well."
Liu Zhe was also a little frightened when he heard this. Do you still want millions? Do you want me to go bankrupt?
However, when Liu Zhe saw the serious expression on Cai Yong's face, he had a headache!
If Cai Yong wants to force himself, he really has no choice but to do anything to him. This old man is his father-in-law and it is not easy to beat and scold him.
Liu Zhe decided to have a good talk with the old man, so he said patiently: "My father-in-law, I don't agree with copying the precious books of the lonely book into new books. But the cost is too expensive, and the production of white paper is limited and the quantity is not large. Even if you give it all, it will be a drop in the bucket."
"What should I do?" Cai Yong was anxious. He thought these white papers were very good after using them. After binding them into books, they were many times better than bamboo tubes, which was convenient and simple.
Cai Yong thought for a while and said, "Then increase the production of white paper."
Liu Zhe slapped his forehead and said, "Production naturally needs to be increased, but the white paper produced must be sold, and the money earned from sales must be used to develop Youzhou."
When Cai Yong heard this, he became anxious and said, "Knowledge is priceless, how can it be measured by the smell of money?"
"Qingxiao, you have many ideas, think of a solution for me." Cai Yong ignored it and directly grabbed Guo Jia next to him.
Liu Zhe said: "Father-in-law, don't be excited, I have a solution for you, son-in-law."
Cai Yong hurriedly asked, "What's the solution?"
"Did my father-in-law think about publishing a book?"
Cai Yong is a famous scholar in the world and has countless admirers. As long as he publishes all the articles and music he usually writes, many people will rush to buy them.
In fact, Liu Zhe had been fighting Cai Yong and the others for a long time, but he had been busy fighting wars before, but now he finally found an opportunity. His idea was to leave Cai Yong first, and then slowly leave others.
Cai Yong was a little puzzled and asked, "How to publish a book?"
Liu Zhe explained: "It is to write the articles and music you usually write in a book and then sell them out."
"Of course there is no problem with this." Cai Yong agreed immediately. This matter was a good thing for him and he would not refuse, but he was a little confused and asked, "Can this really make money?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely possible." Liu Zhe was full of confidence in this.
Liu Zhe thought for a while and said, "But this book will be handed over to me to sell!"
Cai Yong was very fast. After Liu Zhe gave him advice, he used the books he had prepared to test the results on the third day.
There are two books in total, each of which has about forty pages, and they are bound with needle and thread.
Liu Zhe flipped over, but his brows frowned.
"How about a virtuous son-in-law?" Cai Yong frowned when he saw Liu Zhe's brows. He was a little nervous. You should know that the contents of these two books were his hard work, and the articles in them were carefully selected by him.
Liu Zhe frowned slightly. There was no problem with the articles in this book, but when he saw that all the articles in it were hand-written, this affected the circulation and required too much manpower.
