Chapter 28

This is conducive to continuing to sell high-priced paper, so he just smiled and didn't say anything, and then continued to wait for more people to offer high prices!

And with 30 coins as a high price, the degree of competition suddenly went down.

Yes, most people are still relatively rational; how much is a foot of cloth? Only 20 coins.

A sheet of paper is far less large than a foot of cloth, although it is softer and more convenient to carry, the use of paper is too single, and if it exceeds the price of cloth, no one is willing to buy it.

But there are still some people who want to flatter Li Si through this opportunity.

So... the price of a sheet of paper was directly raised to 50 coins!

Finally, 50 sheets of paper were sold for 50 coins!

At that moment, 2,500 coins were handed to Li Si, and this paper-selling event finally ended.

But even after it ended, the crowd didn't disperse!

Many people could see the use of paper.

Moreover, the price of 50 coins definitely exceeded Li Si's expectations.

Therefore, many people were chasing Li Si to ask various questions!

And these questions, in the final analysis, were only two!

One, how much is the quantity of paper!

Two, what is the price of paper, they want to know how paper is priced too much!

And for these questions, Li Si only had three words, I don't know!

As for the quantity of paper, he really didn't know how much there was!

Ying Su only told him that the cost of paper was very low, but never told him how much paper there was.

In terms of price, although he already had a psychological price, he still had to discuss it with Ying Su!

If he priced it himself, what if Ying Su was unhappy?

Therefore, he didn't answer either question.

After the crowd dispersed, he directly brought 2,500 coins to the imperial palace to see the new emperor!

"50 coins per sheet? A total of 2,500 coins?"

In the imperial palace, when Ying Su learned that Li Si sold it at this price, he was scared on the spot!

You must know, the price of a foot of cloth is only 20 coins!

And the price of this flax paper could reach 50 coins?

"There is a problem here, it's not the final price!"

Ying Su asked, he instinctively felt that there was a problem here!

The price of paper could not be more expensive than cloth!

This is unreasonable, too unreasonable!

And Li Si, hearing this, couldn't help but sigh that Ying Su was not easy to fool, and told him about selling paper on the spot.

After hearing all this, Ying Su nodded; he couldn't help but sigh that he was right to use Li Si.

With this method of selling paper, who wouldn't shout "brilliant" when they see it?

But Ying Su still asked Li Si:

"Then what do you think the final price of this paper should be?"

Li Si pondered: "18 coins, this is the price that strangles the neck, two coins less than cloth, which is the limit price that nobles and merchants can accept!"

He said, knowing this very well!

Ying Su pondered for a moment and said:

"15 coins, price it at 15 coins, after all... this thing still needs to be circulated through merchants, two coins of profit is too low, it's not easy to sell, give them 5 coins as a profit space, only then will more nobles buy it!"

"This..."

Li Si was convinced and bowed deeply to Ying Su.

But likewise, he was also curious about a question, which was exactly how much paper there was.

After all... Ying Su said it was for circulation, which means this thing is not just sold in Xianyang City!

But to be sold to the whole country!

Facing Li Si's inquiry, Ying Su smiled, not being polite, and directly took him to a place!

Great Qin Lesser Treasury Examination Room!

Under Cai Lun's leadership, in the blink of an eye, they came to the paper storage room!

"This... this... is all paper?"

At that moment, Li Si was surprised!

He looked at the room full of flax paper and was truly dumbfounded!

He couldn't help but sigh, how much paper is this!

Cai Lun walked in with a small notebook and said to Li Si: "There are a total of 180,000 sheets of flax paper, 50,000 sheets of grass paper, and 30,000 sheets of Xuan paper!"

"180,000 sheets of flax paper, that... that is... 2.7 million coins!"

Li Si was shocked!

But soon, he showed confusion, "Flax paper? Grass paper? Xuan paper?"

He was confused.

Ying Su pulled him aside and placed the three types of paper in front of him.

Respectively introducing: "Flax paper, grass paper, Xuan paper!"

"Flax paper? Grass paper? Xuan paper?"

He was shocked and looked at the three types of paper.

Among these three types of paper, flax paper is the roughest, grass paper is second, and when it comes to Xuan paper, he can't believe it's paper.

It's too smooth, too white!

"This... how were these made!"

Li Si was very shocked.

But the next second, he wanted to slap himself; is this a question he should ask?

You must know, there is no paper in this world now, only Ying Su can make paper.

Shouldn't this thing be Ying Su's core secret? Would he let him know?

Li Si regretted asking.

However, Ying Su didn't delay at all, and directly took his hand to the papermaking workshop!

And right under Li Si's nose, Ying Su ordered people to filter the residue of some tree bark, weeds, and other things, and then dry them into paper.

Even, in some places Li Si didn't understand, he explained it to him personally.

Moreover, he also told Li Si why the difference between Xuan paper, grass paper, and flax paper was so big!

All of this almost moved Li Si to tears!

Yes!

Really cried!

What is this?

This is trust!

You must know, this is paper!

In this era, there is no such thing, and he dared to show it to him like this?

He wasn't afraid that he would learn it after seeing it?

Yes, although paper is magical, to be honest, there is almost no technical barrier!

Anyone who wants to do it can almost imitate it after seeing it once!

Even the best Xuan paper, as long as you see it a few more times and do it a few more times, you can completely make it!

Li Si was really moved to tears; in the examination room, in front of so many people, he knelt down to Ying Su with a thud: "Your Majesty!"

Ying Su smiled and helped him up without saying anything!

And after getting up, Li Si made a suggestion to Ying Su: "Your Majesty, grass paper and Xuan paper should not appear now!"

"Oh?"

"Why?"

Ying Su asked with a smile.

Li Si said: "Although the price of flax paper is set at 15 coins, as a consumable item, and a long-term consumable item, to be honest, the price is set too high. At first, people will buy it because of curiosity, but at most in a year, people will be discouraged by this price. At this time, if we want to sell paper, we have to lower the price!"
