Chapter Thirty-Six Who Is Not a Heartbreaker?
For Ouyang Bian, he did not want to shock Wang Anshi. People at this time advocated Confucianism and were the ideological establishment.
As for these commercial things, they are just strange tricks and tricks. It is really difficult to use this kind of thing to attract top elites like Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty.
He took it out today because Wang Anshi came to the door. If he didn't give it, Wang Anshi would definitely feel uncomfortable and offended a future reform prime minister who was powerful in the court and the opposition... Ouyang Bin said that even if he blackmailed his money, he would have to give it to him!
He didn't offer this thing himself. Even if Wang Anshi didn't like it, he could just shy away some small ideas, so that he would not be looked down upon by Wang Anshi.
If Wang Anshi is willing to watch it, then show it to him. This will not be a loss for Ouyang Bian. Anyway, it is just a means to make money. What he is worried about is actually the impact on the future.
If the things he took out were only used by himself, even if someone imitated it, it would be a commercial activity among the people. However, Wang Anshi, a big man, would enter the political arena of the Song Dynasty. If Wang Anshi came up with some things based on these theories, they would naturally be happy if they used them well. If they used them wrongly, it would be a disaster that would cause trouble to the world!
However, Ouyang Bin felt relieved after counting.
It was actually only sixty years since Wang Anshi's reform and to the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty.
During the reform period, the two parties fought and the later cleaned up the mess actually took up a lot of time in the Northern Song Dynasty. To be honest, there were not many peaceful days afterwards. No matter how bad it was, it would be the collapse of the dynasty. How could it be broken?
So Ouyang Bin took this thing out without any psychological burden and didn't care too much, but he really didn't want to participate in politics.
There are so many capable people in the Song Dynasty. He was a young editor in later generations. After reading a few books, he dared to speak loudly to save the troubled Song Dynasty?
Stop making trouble.
The Song Dynasty was not short of talents, but the people were damaged. During this period, many talented people emerged in the Song Dynasty, creating a glorious world.
But it is precisely because of too many talents that the court is in a party struggle and there is no way to deal with civil and military affairs.
In foreign wars, civil and military sides tugged each other, and civil servants struggled endlessly. It would be good if they could exert three or four points with all their strength.
Going up to the Song Dynasty to call for the wind and rain, commanding a large number of top elites to work together for the rise and fall of the country?
hehe.
If Ouyang Bian has such rich imagination, wouldn’t it be better to be an editor to write historical time travel novels?
In short, Ouyang Bin decided not to participate in that muddy water, whoever loves to go will go!
Do business by yourself, tease Sister Bizhu, and when you grow up, you will marry a beautiful cousin. Then, with the influence of your father, you can find a rich, leisurely and unresponsible idle life, enjoy the leisurely life of the rich people in the Song Dynasty... Hey, I feel excited to think about it!
When Ouyang Bian thought about his thoughts, Wang Anshi was also thinking that the two of them did their own things, and time flew quickly.
When Wang Anshi came to his senses, he saw Ouyang Bian's mischievous things, and he was so angry that he was filled with smoke from his orifices.
——Ouyang Bin was actually practicing calligraphy with a roll of Chengxintang paper!
Well, although the characters look pretty good and the style is very different from the current calligraphy styles, it is Chengxintang paper!
Doesn’t he know how precious this Chengxintang paper is?
Ouyang Bin looked at Wang Anshi with his face twisted in front of him and was immediately surprised: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Anshi pointed to Chengxintang paper with a heartache: "Did you stolen this paper from your father?"
Ouyang Bin said unhappily: "Look at what you said, can scholars be called stealing? You just take some paper? And my father's is mine. Can I take some of my father's things be called stealing?"
Wang Anshi accidentally looked around and saw that there were many randomly discarded Chengxintang papers next to him. He couldn't help but cover his heart in pain.
What a sin, such a precious thing is actually regarded as a paper for pen and practice. You know, who can get even one Chengxintang paper, can show off with friends for half a month. In Ouyang Bian's place, it is actually regarded as a paper for pen and practice!
Wang Anshi said angrily: "Do you know what paper this is?"
Ouyang Bin said in surprise: "Chengxintang paper, this paper is good, it doesn't leak, it feels damping when written... Oh, it feels neither smooth nor rough when written. It is indeed a good paper for practicing writing."
Wang Anshi looked heartbroken, but the next moment he was a little gloating: "Hey, if your father comes back, if you find that his Chengxintang paper has been ruined by you, you may be beaten."
Ouyang Bin suddenly felt like he was drowsy: I gave you the business secret, and you were gloating about the fact that I was going to be beaten?
Well, since we have to hurt each other, it is impolite to come and not go.
Ouyang Bin showed a childlike smile: "It's okay, I bought this paper for him, and I bought it for three. Although it was a little expensive, he was quite happy."
Wang Anshi's eyes almost burst out: Three swords?!
Isn’t the unit of measurement of Chengxintang paper calculated based on sheets, or even using a knife?
Seeing Wang Anshi's expression, Ouyang Bin smiled and said, "It's just a difficult technology to make paper. The reason why Chengxintang paper is difficult to find is that it cannot be produced, but it is just a means of hoarding.
Oh, that is, the so-called hunger marketing... Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't understand.
Anyway, they can actually produce a lot, but only take out a small part to sell, which leads to a situation of supply and demand, and the price and quality are all increased.
The reason I can buy it is simple. I found people from Huizhou, asked them to introduce local celebrities, and then clear them up. I found the people who produce paper. I had enough money and promised not to make a profit, but only for my own use.
You also know that my father Ouyang Xiu is also a little famous and elegant thing, talking about money... Oh, money still needs to be discussed, it's enough... well, three hundred guan!"
Ouyang Bin looked distressed, how much did the yard cost?
Wang Anshi looked shocked. For a moment, he didn't know what he was shocked. Anyway, he looked so powerful. The next moment he felt a little ashamed - how could I be suppressed by a child?
He carefully recalled what Ouyang Bian said, and his face unconsciously showed surprise, no matter what hunger marketing is, whether it is supply and demand, or how to find a way to buy paper, or three hundred guan... Hiss!
Three hundred stakes!
Although the senior officials of the Song Dynasty had high salaries and benefits, they also had high expenses. Anyone who could save dozens of chunks of money in a year would definitely be a frugal life.
Wang Anshi is just a low-middle official. Although he is famous, his official position is really low. His family is considered a descendant of an official and although he is considered wealthy, he has to take out dozens of or hundreds of coins to buy luxury goods like Chengxintang paper for a while. He still has to think about it again and again.
Heartbroken!
