In the main hall, the three of them discussed for nearly an hour before deciding on a rough plan. You can imagine what kind of storm will be caused once the white paper comes out.

The reason why Ye Zhang wanted to borrow the power of Confucianism was to hide himself behind the scenes.

He knew very well what it means to be innocent of the crime of carrying a jade. As an epoch-making existence, papermaking will definitely be targeted by countless people. It is impossible to guard against all kinds of overt and covert attacks.

But with Confucianism at the front, you can succeed and retire, and making a fortune quietly is the way to go.

In fact, the first partner I considered was not the Confucian school, but the Yin-Yang school. However, after some thinking, I still made this choice.

The reason is very simple. Although the Yin Yang family is also very strong, its power is more hidden and its foundation is unfathomable. However, its appeal in the world is indeed not as good as that of Confucianism, a prominent school in the world.

And although he has been living in the Yin and Yang family, except for Chu Nangong, there is no one truly trustworthy.

Combining the above factors, it is more beneficial to oneself to partner with Confucianism...

As the plan was finalized, Le Zhengzi took quick action and quickly summoned many craftsmen to make paper.

In order to avoid information leakage, multiple work stations were deliberately built and the papermaking process was divided, with each part being handled by different personnel.

Although papermaking is a bit tedious, it is not very difficult. After a few days of practice, I gradually became familiar with it, got on the right track, and started trying to produce.

Three days passed, and everything went smoothly. With the concerted efforts of nearly a thousand people, a total of 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of qualified paper were produced.

This is already a very good result. After all, they are all novices. If they practice more, they should be able to double their speed on this basis.

Calculated in this way, it shouldn't be a problem to produce 100,000 sheets of paper a day in the future. Of course, this is only high-quality white paper, and if ordinary paper is included, it may be even more.

However, in this era, the transmission of information is still relatively weak, so if you want the paper to be known to more people in a short period of time, you still need to launch a wave of publicity.

In terms of cultural propaganda, Confucianism is naturally a professional organization. With an order, Confucian disciples everywhere began to take action and carry out vigorous propaganda.

In less than half a month, this magical writing instrument has spread. Although it has not yet appeared, it has already caused quite a sensation.

Especially the high-quality white paper has been sought after by countless nobles and is extremely popular.

As for the price, there is a big difference between the two types of paper. The yellowed and less tough paper only sells for ten baht. Even ordinary people can afford to buy it without making money.

High-quality white paper is the real profit maker. Each piece of paper is priced at two hundred baht, and no seller is allowed to increase the price without permission.

In addition, there are also restrictions on sales. Each store can only sell a maximum of 1,000 pieces of fine white paper per day, and each customer is limited to purchasing three pieces per day, and cannot purchase multiple times.

If ordinary paper is meant to allow ordinary people to enjoy benefits, then white paper is a leek harvester exclusively for nobles. There is a clear distinction between the two and they do not interfere with each other.

After nearly a month of fermentation, the matter has even spread to several surrounding countries, and many literati have gone to Qilu to find out.

On the first day of the sale of the white paper, all the stores were buzzing with people and countless people rushed to buy it.

Some people even got into fights in order to squeeze in front. Even the usually elegant scholars couldn't help but fight. If the people around them hadn't stopped them, they would have pulled out the big swords around their waists and slashed them.

.

You must know that scholars in this era are not powerless. The basic routine is to be polite before attacking. The principle must be explained, but if the explanation does not make sense, the possibility of drawing a sword and killing someone is not ruled out.

After all, they are all under the disciples of Saint Confucius, and some of their styles are naturally inherited from the same origin. It is necessary to convince people with reason, but if reason does not work, then you can only use physics...

Along with the hot sales, a lot of money is constantly coming in.

The price of each piece of white paper is as high as two hundred baht, but the cost price is far less than one-tenth, which can be described as huge profits. Confucianism has opened dozens of shops in Qilu, and each shop sells a thousand pieces every day.

Calculated in this way, even after excluding various costs, the final daily net profit is several thousand gold. In this way, after one year, it is millions of gold!

You must know that in this era, one gold is enough to support an ordinary family for several months, and one million gold is close to a country's tax revenue for a year.

This is a country with incredible wealth in the true sense!

Such an operation made Confucianism, which was already famous, even more powerful and its status elevated. Countless scholars flocked to it and were filled with reverence.

And Ye Zhang, who has been hiding behind the scenes, has also made a lot of money. In less than two months, he has accumulated a net worth of more than 100,000 gold.

However, he couldn't keep so much money with him all the time, so he temporarily deposited it in the Confucian house and asked Master Xun to help take care of it...

Ye Xiang sat in the pavilion, looking at the bustling shop across the street. He picked up the jade cup on the table and took a sip of fragrant tea, with a slight smile on his face.

"You should be considered the richest man in Songhai now, but are you really just using papermaking technology to make money?"

Black and white Xuanjian on the side asked.

Ye Zhang chuckled and said: "It's not wrong to say it's to make money, but what I value more is the value of resources. Whether it's money or papermaking technology, they are precious resources. Naturally, the more the better, and sooner or later we will use them."

Xuanjian nodded and continued: "When will you leave?"

Ye Zhang raised his eyebrows and said, "What, are you tired of being idle?"

"The climate in Qilu is a bit humid, and Xianxian doesn't like it very much."

Xuan Jian said lightly.

Hearing this, Ye Zhang chuckled and shook his head. If nothing else, he was indeed a good husband.

Then he said: "Well, things are almost done anyway, let's leave in a few days."

"Where to go?"

Xuan Jian asked.

Upon hearing the question, Ye Zhang said lazily, "Well, I really haven't thought about it too much."

Then his expression changed, and he caught a glimpse of a spoon placed in the dish from the corner of his eye, and he seemed to have an idea in his mind.

He picked it up, put it on the table and flipped it casually. For a moment, the silver spoon began to rotate with the force, and after a few breaths, it slowly stopped, and finally the handle of the spoon pointed to the northwest.
