"But Liu Bei doesn't need to worry too much in Hanzhong. He wants to imitate Emperor Gaozu's Ming Dynasty in building the plank road, and it is obviously impossible to cross Chencang secretly!" Liu Cong knew that compared with the same period in history, the current Liu Bei was far behind.
"My lord is right. Liu Zhang has already increased his troops at Baishui Pass and Jiange. Zhong Yao sent Zhang Ji to guard the entrance of the Xie Valley to prevent Liu Bei from entering the pass. We also have heavy troops guarding Shangyong. It is difficult for Hanzhong to be a single county. It's a big deal. It's just"
"What else does Xiaozhi have to worry about?"
"If Liu Bei takes danger and sends his troops out of Ziwu Valley to raid Chang'an, the outcome will be hard to say."
"The troops left Ziwu Valley?" Liu Cong frowned. This topic has been discussed many times by later generations, but there is still no conclusion on whether it can succeed.
"My lord, don't worry!" Pang Tong smiled, "Leaving the Ziwu Valley with troops is a dangerous move, and the probability of victory is less than 50%. If it were my lord, he would most likely do it, but Liu Bei would not. Because Kongming was cautious in using his troops and did not want to Take risks, and Liu Bei doesn¡¯t have the courage!¡±
"In this case, we don't care about Hanzhong for the time being, but we must pay attention. If Liu Bei wants to seize Yizhou, we must send troops to stop him!"
"My lord is wise!" Pang Tong and Fazheng said at the same time.
"Shiyuan, Xiaozhi, how about you come and see this paper?" Liu Cong pointed to the paper on the table.
"Paper?"
"Is this paper?"
Pang Tong and Fazheng were both surprised. They had long discovered that Liu Cong had written some words on it. But it was so white and the handwriting was clear, they all thought it was brocade silk.
"Yes!" Liu Cong smiled.
Pang Tong and Fazheng touched it carefully.
"It's not brocade!"
"HaI told you, it's paper!"
"But, how come Caihou paper is so white?"
"And the words are written on it, so clearly?"
"It's exactly the same as the brocade silk!"
"Of course this is not Caihou paper, it is the new Han paper that has just been made!" Liu Cong knew that this kind of paper would soon spread throughout the Han Dynasty, to the Western Regions, the Roman Empire, and even the whole world. Therefore, he has already thought of a name, called New Han Paper.
"New Han paper?" The two picked up the paper again and looked at it carefully, "Lord, what is the price of this kind of paper?"
Although New Han Dynasty paper is a good thing, if the price is too high, it is better to use brocade silk or bamboo slips.
"It's much lower than Jinbo!" In fact, it's more than much lower! That's too low. Brocade silk is woven from silk, while New Han paper is made from plants with high fiber content such as bamboo, which can be said to be made from local materials.
"That's great!" Pang Tong looked at the piece of paper with a greedy look on his face, "My lord, I also want this new Chinese paper, brocade and silk to write on, it's too expensive!"
"My lord, my subordinates want it too!" Fazheng also said hurriedly.
They often have to write some official documents. Brocade and silk are too expensive, bamboo slips are too slow, and the writing on Cai Hou paper becomes blurry after a while.
"Ha don't worry, this new Han paper will be produced on a large scale soon, and we will all use it from now on!"
"Very good!"
Liu Cong issued an order to reward the craftsmen who made paper heavily, and then let them produce it on a large scale.
The craftsmen were very happy. Although they all had skills, their status had never been so high, so they kept producing day and night.
With the expansion of various handicraft industries in Xiangyang City, Liu Cong moved all handicraft workshops outside the city. Several core departments have also moved to Jingshan Mountain between Xiangyang and Fancheng.
According to Liu Cong¡¯s plan, Fancheng and Xiangyang will gradually become industrial centers.
The things that the government strictly controls mainly include the brewing of Wanli Xiangjiu, smelting technology, and improved agricultural tools, such as waterwheels, reeling wheels, etc. Weapons such as the Han Dao, the Thunderbolt Chariot, and the Ballista were naturally kept top secret. Moreover, Liu Cong also found some alchemists and asked them to develop gunpowder.
The method of making new Han paper is another top secret. Once it is determined to be top secret, these craftsmen will be controlled, but their treatment will be very high. In troubled times, these people are naturally very satisfied.
The concept of assembly line work has slowly penetrated into the production. Liu Cong asked officials from various places to mobilize the people to collect the raw materials, and then the craftsmen would collect them at a certain price. This is not only very fast, but also solves some of the life problems of the refugees after they first arrived.
Seven or eight days later, the first batch of new Han paper was produced. Liu Cong first sent it to Xiangyang City officials. Of course, a certain fee was charged.
Paper?The quality was very good and the price was very low. Soon, officials from other counties in Jingzhou came to buy it.
Liu Cong requested that officials from all over the country should use paper to write official documents and letters, but it should not be wasted and paper should be supplied in quantity.
When the new Han paper appeared in Xiangyang Academy, all the students were excited. You must know that even the children of the Ma, Kuai and Cai families did not dare to use brocade silk to write in large quantities. New Han paper has the same quality as brocade silk, but the price is much cheaper! Even the three deans were amazed and couldn't put it down.
When many people wanted to buy it, Liu Cong asked for a limited supply. He also told the students that the production of new Chinese paper was complicated and originally very expensive, but in order to allow students to learn and write, it was so cheap. If you buy it outside, it will be much more expensive.
In addition, Zhang Ji¡¯s medical clinic also provides supplies according to quantity, which makes Zhang Ji and his disciples very excited. This kind of treatment is the same as that of officials and academies! In the past, medical doctors belonged to three religions and nine streams. How could they be compared with Confucianism?
At the same time, Zhang Ji was very grateful to Liu Cong. When he was asked to set up a medical clinic, he was a little unhappy. Although he is a doctor in the Prefectural Mufu, his status is that of a prefect. Although Zhang Ji doesn't want to be an official, he still wants to have an official status!
Now, he is a bachelor of Jingzhou University. Like Pang Degong and others, he is also the director of a medical clinic, teaches hundreds of disciples, and can write books and treatises.
Looking at such good new Chinese paper and thinking about Shuli Shuo, Zhang Ji immediately thought of his good friend Hua Tuo. The lord Liu Cong once said that he and Hua Tuo were the miracle doctors of the Han Dynasty, and the miracle doctors had to write down their theories. So Zhang Ji immediately picked up a pen and wrote a letter on this new Han Dynasty paper, asking Hua Tuo to stop being a doctor and come to Xiangyang. How many people can he save by himself? My lord is right. Opening a clinic to teach students and writing books is the way to become a great doctor.
Liu Cong¡¯s guess was correct. As soon as the new Han Dynasty paper came out, countless merchants flocked to Xiangyang. Everyone could clearly see the unlimited business opportunities contained in it.
The house of Ma Jing, the president of the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce, is overcrowded, because everyone knows that the Ma family is now at its peak, and it is definitely right to turn to Ma Bochang for business.
New Han paper will be sold all over the world, and the price set by Xiangyang is not very high. Everyone has found that the profit margin is huge, but they must buy the operating rights.
The price of operating rights in each state varies, with the lowest in Jiaozhou being 20,000 gold, and the highest being in Jizhou being 100,000 gold. With the right to operate, other businessmen cannot do New Hanji business in this state. Of course, you can also sell the rights to operate each county to someone else.
