Chapter 608 Boiling a frog in warm water
Chapter 606: Boil the frog in warm water
"This paper is so thin."
Xun Yu picked up a stack of paper, then picked up an Analects of Confucius, and after looking through two pages, he said excitedly: "And it is so white and flat, it is far more than the paper of Cai Hou!"
"More than that, such a small book, it actually records the entire Analects of Confucius. This is simply a magical book."
Wang Xizhi said excitedly, and the reactions of the others were similar to those of them.
Among these three things, glass and soap may be better than books in terms of profit, but books still have the greatest impact on everyone.
If a book of "The Analects of Confucius" is recorded in bamboo slips, it often weighs dozens of bundles or dozens of kilograms, but now it can be held with one hand. This is simply a change for the academic community and cannot be ignored by all civil officials.
Qin Hao did not print movable type. The book "The Analects of Confucius" in front of everyone was just a hand-written version, and there were two reasons why he did not take it out.
1. The impact of papermaking alone is already at the earthquake level.
If the printing pressing is also applied at this time, once the number of books becomes rampant, it will inevitably break the situation where the aristocratic family monopolizes education, and Qin Hao will also become a thorn in the side of the aristocratic family.
2. Any item is precious because it is rare.
If the number of books is too large, it will be detrimental to Qin Hao''s wealth. Now Qin Hao needs books to make money.
To sum up two points, Qin Hao is preparing to gradually promote the progress of printing technology in ten years, from hand-copied books, to woodblock printing, and then to movable type printing, and unknowingly break the situation of monopoly education in the aristocratic family.
Qin Hao knew that he could not force his efforts to deal with the aristocratic family, so he had to adopt the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water to gradually encroach on it. When the aristocratic family reacted, they had lost control of education. At that time, even if they wanted to target Qin Hao, it was too late.
The impact of books is so great that almost everyone is surrounded by books, and instead ignores the other two other money-making tools.
Qin Hao just wanted to remind everyone to look at the other two items. After all, what Nanyang lacks the most now is money, but everyone could not help but ask questions.
"Lord, where did this new papermaking come from?" Wang Meng asked.
"Lord, what is this new paper made of?" Liu Ye asked.
"Lord, how much does this new paper cost?" Xun Yu asked.
"Lord, can this new paper be manufactured on a large scale?" Han Fei asked.
…
Each of the ministers had several questions, and Qin Hao couldn''t answer them in time.
"Okay, okay, let''s calm down, listen to this marquis say slowly."
Then, it was naturally a perfect speech compiled. Everyone was shocked after hearing this. No one had achieved the craftsman''s learning that they looked down upon, but it had such a huge boost to technology.
Among the people, only Liu Ye looked proud. He was from a craftsman and knew the embarrassing status of craftsmen, but he never regretted joining the craftsman.
Once this new papermaking technique is born, the leader and elders may not be able to sit still, right?
Liu Ye thought to himself that he also hoped that the workers could help the lord, and with this papermaking technique and various equipment drawings, it was enough for the workers to bet on it.
"Congratulations to my lord, and congratulations to my lord. With this new white paper in hand, in the future, whether it is selling paper or books, I, Nanyang, will definitely survive the financial crisis."
Wen Tianxiang smiled and congratulated, and then everyone congratulated each other in unison.
"Congratulations to lord, congratulations to lord."
Qin Hao nodded with a smile. He took out these things, not just to overcome the financial crisis. The Tang swords and Song crossbows that the Institute of Technology are developing require a lot of money to be backed by the backing of the situation before it can be developed and equipped on a large scale, so it is absolutely impossible to have no money.
"Sir, don''t just stare at this new paper, the other two are also good things."
Hearing Qin Hao say this, everyone realized that there were two things, and they couldn''t help but look forward to it, but after Qin Hao explained it, they were all indifferent.
A luxury item or a daily necessity, it turns out that it is just a simple tool for making money!
"Congratulations to lord, congratulations to lord."
Everyone congratulated each other. Although the voice was loud, sincere and joyful, it was far less than the undepressing excitement when they saw the new paper.
Qin Hao saw this, his mouth twitched slightly. Should it be so obvious? You are really noble and regard money as dirt!
Qin Hao handed over the establishment of the Nanyang caravan to the most professional Shen Wansan. No one here is better at doing business than him.
Others probably don’t want to do it either. After all, they have already entered the official career, so how could they be willing to go into business?
As for the acquisition of land and the matter of making an IOU with the aristocratic family, Qin Hao handed it over to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu was born in the Xun family in Yingchuan, and he was the most confident in facing a noble family. He was the best candidate to deal with a noble family.
After this period of "martial" confrontation, the Nanyang family knew the people''s determination to resist to the death, and also understood that the land might not be back. The reason why they gritted their teeth was to reduce the losses.
Now Xun Yu has come to ask for land acquisition, so the aristocratic family naturally cannot afford it, and the market price is not unacceptable. After all, it is only a little bit to reduce the loss.
But when Xun Yu proposed to write an IOU, most of the aristocratic families changed their faces.
"Is Champion Hou taking the heads of the family here as a fool?"
"He Qin Hao didn''t know how much land we have in Nanyang, so he just wrote an IOU?"
"Yes, even if we are willing to write an IOU, can Qin Hao still afford it?"
"Isn''t it because there is a loan or no return, right?"
All the heads present were not young, so they were very rude when they spoke. Even worse, they pointed at Xun Yu''s nose and scolded Qin Hao, but Xun Yu always showed his smile, which made these elders very embarrassed.
"Don''t worry, everyone, my master is the eldest son of the Qin family and the only descendant of the Marquis of Jin. How could he do this and not pay back the money?"
Xun Yu''s simple words made everyone who was still aggressive just now dispel their doubts about Qin Hao''s financial resources.
Xun Yu saw this and ran into the railway while it was hot: "Our Lord has decided to form a Nanyang caravan and supply goods to aristocratic families who are willing to sell land. Isn''t this proven my Lord''s sincerity?"
The heads of Nanyang suddenly saw this. The Qin family is now the leader of the five major commercial families, and the Bingzhou family has also made great profits. Following the Qin family to do business can be much more profitable than farming.
In the past, the people swear to resist to the death and forcibly return the land to the point of losing money. Later, there are businessmen who are making a fortune. As long as they are mixed in, they will definitely make countless profits.
In addition, Qin Hao''s attitude was extremely firm, which made the Nanyang family not hesitate much. Most of them were willing to join in and make profits with Qin Hao.
Of course, there are also people who are unwilling to sell land, but it is difficult to reverse the trend, so it is directly ignored.
At this point, Nanyang’s land reform was peacefully completed.
This is a miracle, an irrepeatable miracle accomplished with the joint efforts of Qin Hao and the people.
