Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 54: Da Qin also has business wars! Fusu is in the light and Lin Xuan is in the dark, focusing on a tacit understanding of cooperation!
"What do you mean by this, teacher?"

Fusu, who looked excited, had a trace of doubt on his face when he heard Lin Xuan's words.

"The appearance of paper in Daqin is not only cheap."

“Writing on paper or carrying it around are both beyond the capabilities of bamboo slips.”

"In this way, scholars will choose paper instead of bamboo slips."

"Without scholars buying bamboo slips, those businessmen would not be able to make money from scholars."

"Sir, if you were a merchant selling bamboo slips and saw that there were no scholars buying the bamboo slips, what would you think?"

Lin Xuan looked calm and looked at Fusu beside him.

Fusu lowered his head and pondered after hearing Lin Xuan's words. He only thought that the emergence of paper would allow scholars to write at a cheap price.

Instead of thinking about the merchants selling bamboo slips, Fusu imagined himself as a merchant selling bamboo slips.

"If students are businessmen selling bamboo slips, they know that the appearance of paper will cost them a lot of money."

"Students must find ways to disrupt the paper business and find out the people behind the paper sales."

"If you can take control of how to make paper, you can make a lot of money using paper."

"Students can use any means for this purpose."

After Fusu finished speaking, his face turned ugly. He had the status of a prince and had contact with some businessmen.

Of course he knew how humble these businessmen were on the surface, but how dark they were in their hearts.

When disputes arise between businessmen, it is not an exaggeration to even hire killers to kill competitors.

The emergence of paper made it impossible for merchants selling bamboo slips to do business, so they would inevitably take measures.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words. Fusu said exactly what he was thinking.

"Paper sales still need to be sold, not only so that readers can afford paper."

"It can also weaken the money of those ministers. Without this money, the power of those ministers will also be weakened."

"My lord, I need you to do this. My lord, you will be shining brightly in the court these days."

"His Majesty also praised the young master greatly. This news will spread throughout Xianyang City soon."

"Those businessmen know that the person behind the paper sales is the young master, and they dare not have other ideas about the young master."

"In this way, the paper selling business will no longer be in crisis."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and said his own method.

Fusu's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Xuan's words, and the teacher's words reminded him just now.

Let him become the background of selling paper, which can indeed reduce a lot of trouble.

Fusu is not afraid of those businessmen either. Being able to let scholars use cheap paper is very good news for Fusu.

"Teacher, you came up with the paper. Wouldn't it be better to just hand it over to the students like this?"

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of guilt on his face.

"The young master's behavior in the court in the past few days has made many ministers suspect that there is someone helping the young master."

"Some ministers have even begun to investigate the people around the young master. I still have to hide them temporarily."

"If it is revealed that the paper was made from below, once someone finds out."

"They will confirm that I am the person behind the young master. The young master's current strength cannot compete with these people."

Lin Xuan watched Fusu comfort him and told him why he had to leave this matter to Fusu.

Fusu's face turned solemn when he heard Lin Xuan's words. He thought what the teacher said made sense.

The appearance of paper is not a trivial matter. Once someone knows that the paper was made by the teacher, the teacher's identity cannot be hidden.

“Teachers are reassured that students know how to do it, and students will find someone they trust to make the paper.”

"The method of making paper will not be leaked, and students will find trustworthy people to sell paper."

"The money from the paper sales will be returned to the teacher in time by the students."

Fusu looked serious and looked at Lin Xuan to express his thoughts.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's words and said:

"I'm just providing the raw materials. The master still has to do the rest."

"The prince also needs a lot of money to employ people. You and I will get half of the money from selling paper." "As a prince, your salary alone is not enough. You still need to have some savings for emergencies."

Lin Xuan guessed that Fusu would say this and vetoed Fusu's idea.

Lin Xuan really wanted to make some profits from selling paper, and he also hoped that the emergence of paper would interrupt the monopoly of those businessmen.

Many ministers in the court were also involved in the bamboo slip business of those merchants.

If you want Fusu to secure the throne in the future, you still need to weaken the power of these ministers.

Lin Xuan knew in his heart that Fusu, as a prince, did not have much savings.

Hu Hai was supported by the teacher Zhao Gao, and Hu Hai had a lot of money.

Since he is Fusu's teacher now, he naturally cannot let Fusu be short of money.

The emergence of paper solved this problem.

Fusu was stunned when he heard Lin Xuan's words. He quickly reacted and his face changed drastically. He stood up and looked at Lin Xuan:

"Teachers must not do this. Students should do these things."

"The students in Daqin are very satisfied if they can buy paper at a cheap price."

"Students will never dare to accept this kind of money."

Fusu's words were indeed what he thought, and he had great respect for Lin Xuan, the teacher.

In his opinion, it is his duty to help the teacher.

"If you don't agree, I won't sell the paper."

"Let those scholars continue to use the high-priced bamboo slips. The friendship between teachers and students between me and the master is over. I will leave the mansion and hide in the mountains and forests."

Lin Xuan said with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

Fusu's expression changed drastically when he saw the dissatisfaction on Lin Xuan's face.

This was the first time that he saw a teacher being dissatisfied with him. Fusu quickly said:

"Since the teacher is so insistent, the students will no longer refuse."

"Teacher, don't leave Fusu. Students will have to ask the teacher for advice in the future."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan with a trace of sadness on his face.

Seeing Fusu's sad look, the corners of Lin Xuan's mouth raised slightly.

"Since the young master has agreed, it's up to you to do this."

"Teacher, don't worry, the students will do a good job."

Fusu felt relieved after hearing Lin Xuan's words. He was really worried that Lin Xuan would abandon him.

"Paper sales, I have another suggestion."

"Young Master is a prince, and those businessmen don't dare to provoke him for a while."

"But if this continues, it is inevitable that some businessmen will take desperate risks, which will be detrimental to the young master."

"Young master, you can choose some honest businessmen, as long as these businessmen usually sell bamboo slips at relatively reasonable prices."

"Young master, you can let these merchants participate and sell paper together."

"This way you will get less money, but the risk will also be much less."

"With the support of these businessmen, if other businessmen want to harm the young master, these businessmen selling paper will come forward to stop him."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and gave his suggestion.

In Lin Xuan's opinion, selling paper is a long-term business.

Relying on Fusu alone as the background will definitely not be able to sustain it.

Although Lin Xuan is not in business, he also understands that anything that is beautiful than Lin Feng will destroy it.

Although Fusu has the status of a prince, for those businessmen, if they are unable to obtain benefits, they will definitely do desperate things.

With the participation of some businessmen, this kind of thing will be avoided.

Although the money earned is less, it is better in the long run.
