Chapter 29

"But when the price of flax paper drops, if we take out the grass paper with better quality than flax paper and continue to sell it for 15 coins as an updated item, people will be able to accept it!"

"Wait another year, take out the Xuan paper, continue to sell it for 15 coins, and lower the prices of flax paper and grass paper, people will still be able to accept it!"

"In this way, our Great Qin, just by selling paper, can guarantee that the Great Qin national treasury's annual tax revenue is over 10 million coins, which is more than the people's taxes!"

Li Si shouted, at that moment, he was about to explode with excitement.

Annual tax revenue of over 10 million coins, this is higher than the national treasury tax revenue of any year in the First Emperor's reign.

Just by selling paper, Ying Su can also make a lot of money!

He was excited, and Ying Su nodded with a smile: "Can!"

"Can?"

Li Si was even more excited!

After all, this was Ying Su adopting his suggestion!

However, Ying Su's next sentence almost made Li Si excited to heaven.

"Chancellor, I am going to add a burden to you. From now on, this paper will be sold by you by establishing a government office or a shop!"

PS: Seeking flowers and evaluation tickets!!!

027. 100,000 gold reward for capturing Zhang Liang, black powder, smoothbore cannon!

"What?"

Once these words were spoken, Li Si was stunned.

You must know, this is selling paper!

And the profit of selling paper is so big.

This is a business that earns at least 10 million coins a year!

Moreover, it is Ying Su's only source of income in the next three years!

And now... Ying Su handed it all over to him to be responsible for?

He... how much does he trust himself!

You must know, just a few days ago, he was still considering how to deal with Ying Su, and in the future, when the First Emperor returned, how should he show his loyalty to the First Emperor!

But now... he actually...

"Your Majesty!"

Li Si's voice was a bit choked, at that moment, he knelt directly in front of Ying Su and started to kowtow!

"Chancellor, no need for this!"

Ying Su started to help him up.

And Li Si's voice trembled, he wanted to say something, but... he couldn't say a word!

Yes!

What to say, what can be said?

Facing Ying Su's unconditional trust, what can he say?

Say some words about being a cow and a horse to show loyalty?

But loyalty is not something that is said!

That is something that is done!

"Your Majesty, just look at the future, just look at the future!"

Li Si's heart trembled fiercely!

As if swearing, he shouted to Ying Su!

But likewise, he didn't shirk at all and took on this heavy burden!

Afterwards, he left with the order.

At the same time, he sent people to move all the paper away!

And looking at Li Si's back.

Ying Su smiled.

Because, the moment Li Si walked out, Ying Su's points increased again!

"Ding! SS-level divine general Li Si's loyalty increased to 90%, congratulations to the host for gaining 100 points!"

"Good!"

Ying Su smiled happily.

At this very moment, he even thought about the points he would gain when he got the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, as well as Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, and others.

Just... is Zhang Liang so easy to find?

Ying Su frowned.

But soon smiled.

Just two days ago, when he came out of Wang Wang Jian's mansion, he had already issued a wanted order!

"Nationwide, anyone who can capture Zhang Liang alive will be rewarded with 100,000 gold!"

This is much more generous than the First Emperor's reward of 1,000 gold.

100,000 gold!

The purchasing power of this 100,000 gold in modern society is equivalent to 100 million!

Spending 100 million to hunt down a person, even if you look at the whole history book, no one has such a big face!

But Ying Su believes that Zhang Liang is worth it!

The Sage of Strategy!

Just the two words "Sage of Strategy" are worth spending so much money!

He is at least a talent like Li Si!

Ying Su is looking forward to him!

But looking forward to it, Ying Su was not idle either.

Not long after Li Si left, he started to do other things with Cai Lun!

At this time, he and Cai Lun were carving back and forth on a board.

What is this for?

Paper, one of the four great inventions of China, has been made, and the corresponding movable type printing technology, of course, cannot lag behind!

Although he didn't summon Bi Sheng, but... he has Cai Lun!

He understands the theory of movable type printing, and Cai Lun is an operation master!

He is responsible for explaining the theory, and Cai Lun is responsible for practical operation.

The two cooperated, and now, movable type printing has been studied almost!

Now, they are carving the template for each character!

And during this time, he was not just working with Cai Lun on movable type printing.

He and Cai Lun also made many good things!

And one of them is steel!

Steel?

Yes!

Don't think that only modern times have steel!

In fact, as early as the Han Dynasty, there was steel.

And Cai Lun not only invented paper, but also invented many, many things!

For example, the first forged steel knife in history was made by Cai Lun.

And many things mentioned in movies and TV shows, such as the Shangfang Sword, were also made by Cai Lun.

This person is a fierce person who focuses on practice and has a spirit of exploration!

And Ying Su, together with him, was also studying gunpowder!

Yes, although modern alchemists discovered gunpowder through alchemy.

But... how to say, this kind of gunpowder is extremely unstable.

He wanted to make black powder!

And with black powder and steelmaking technology, what could he do?
