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

Chapter 73 Chun Yuyue was shocked that something like paper appeared! Greedy Chun Yuyue!

After Chunyu Yue finished speaking, there was a look of shock on his face.

Liu Zhang contributed a lot of money to him every year, and Chunyu Yue also knew that his shop had a large number of customers every day.

Now that the shop suddenly had no customers, Chun Yuyue even wondered if Liu Zhang didn't want to provide him with any more money.

Chunyu Yue deliberately said that there were no customers in the shop. Chunyu Yue could not believe that there was no customer in Liu Zhang's shop.

The housekeeper standing next to Chun Yuyue also had a look of surprise on his face.

The relationship between Chunyu Yue and Liu Zhang was managed by him as the housekeeper.

The housekeeper has also been to Liu Zhang's shop several times, and he knows that there is an endless stream of customers.

Bamboo slips are very popular items, and the housekeeper doesn't believe that Liu Zhang's shop has no customers.

From the butler's point of view, Liu Zhang was reluctant to contribute money to the master.

"Shopkeeper Liu, I am very kind to you."

"Your shop is able to flourish in Xianyang City. My master has put a lot of thought into it."

"Shopkeeper Liu, don't burn bridges by crossing the river."

The housekeeper looked at Liu Zhang with a hint of coldness in his voice.

Chunyu Yue glanced at his butler out of the corner of his eye and felt very satisfied.

If it was inconvenient for him to say it, the butler said it for him.

Liu Zhang, who was sitting there, felt a trace of cold sweat on the back of his neck when he heard what Butler Chunyu Yue said.

He knew that Chunyu Yue valued his butler very much, and Chunyu Yue also contacted him through his butler.

Liu Zhang knew that Chun Yuyue was dissatisfied with him and felt that he was trying to burn bridges.

"It's too late for a villain to be grateful to adults, so how can he burn bridges by crossing rivers?"

"The villain's shop really hasn't had any customers these past two days. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate."

Liu Zhang had an anxious look on his face as he watched Chun Yuyue speak out his injustice.

Chunyu Yue and the housekeeper looked at each other. Liu Zhang's words just now sounded true to his heart.

"There must be a reason why there are no customers in the store. You can explain it clearly in front of me."

Chunyu Yue believed Liu Zhang's words and asked him to tell what happened in the past two days.

Liu Zhang nodded slightly when he heard Chun Yuyue's words, "A new shop opened in the east of the city two days ago selling an item called paper."

"This paper can be written on just like bamboo slips, and the price is cheaper than bamboo slips."

"The villain initially thought that the shop sold paper so cheaply to attract customers and build a reputation."

"The villain didn't pay attention. I didn't expect that the price of paper has been so cheap in the past few days."

"Customers who bought bamboo slips to write on all bought paper."

"Nowadays, shops selling bamboo slips, not only the villain's shop, but other shops selling bamboo slips also have no customers."

"All the customers go to this paper shop, and the paper business is very booming."

"Sir, please see, this is the paper sold in this shop."

Liu Zhang said, taking out two pieces of paper from his sleeve.

One is covered with writing, and the other is clean.

The housekeeper took the two pieces of paper from Liu Zhang's hand and his expression changed greatly.

These two pieces of paper were so light that if he closed his eyes, he wouldn't even feel that he was holding the paper in his hands.

Chun Yuyue was stunned when he looked at the paper on the desk, and so was the housekeeper standing aside.

In the past, Chunyu Yue always wrote on bamboo slips and occasionally on brocade cloth.

Today was the first time they saw paper and looked at the writing written on it.

Chun Yuyue was very shocked. He could see at a glance that the writing on the paper in front of him was clearer and more numerous than the words written on the bamboo slips.

Chunyu Yue picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on another piece of clean paper.

Soon a piece of paper was filled with his writing, and Chunyu Yue felt very comfortable when he put down the pen.

The feeling of being finished in one go on paper is something that bamboo slips cannot give.

Chun Yuyue picked up the paper again and felt it was very light. He could fold it a few times and put it into his sleeve.

Bamboo slips are incomparable in every aspect. No wonder there are no customers in bamboo slips shops.

Chunyu Yue's face changed drastically when he thought of this. With the appearance of paper, the bamboo slips really had no use.

After a while, the bamboo slips will be completely abandoned. Just like Liu Zhang said just now, if the bamboo slip shop closes, he will not get money.

"Is this the only shop that sells this kind of paper?"

Chunyu Yue looked at Liu Zhang with a solemn look on his face.

"My lord is right, this is the only shop that sells paper."

"The villain came to this shop with some shopkeepers from bamboo slip shops."

"The villain told this shopkeeper to hand over part of the business and let everyone do it together."

"This shopkeeper not only rejected the villain, but also insulted him verbally."

"I think this guy who dares to open a shop like this in Xianyang City must have some background."

"The villain has no choice but to come to the adults for help."

Liu Zhang looked at Chun Yuyue with a hint of pleading on his face.

This is the purpose of his coming today. Only Chun Yuyue can save him.

When Chunyu Yue heard Liu Zhang mention the background, there was a trace of disdain on his face.

There are only a few people in Xianyang City that he cares about, and he doesn't care even if this store has a background.

But what Liu Zhang said just now reminded him that if he could get part of the paper business, it would be really good.

After he personally experienced paper, he knew very well that bamboo slips were incomparable.

If he had a paper business, it would not matter to him even if the bamboo slips were abandoned.

"Now that you have found me, I can't ignore you."

"Don't worry, I will explain this matter to the officials who manage the shops in Xianyang City."

"Let them put pressure on this store and ask the store owner to hand over part of the business."

Chunyu Yue looked at Liu Zhang and made a promise.

"Thank you, sir!"

Liu Zhang looked excited when he heard Chun Yuyue's words. What he wanted was to get the paper business.

With the paper business, it doesn't matter if the bamboo slips are no longer sold.

In the east of Xianyang City, a shop selling paper.

The shopkeeper stood outside the shop with a smile on his face, looking at the customers who came to buy paper in an endless stream.

Ever since the shopkeepers who sold bamboo slips left in despair.

No one dares to trouble his shop anymore. In the past two days, word of his shop has spread throughout Xianyang City.

Paper sales are also very good, and the paper delivered every day is not enough for customers to buy.

"Get out of the way!"

A sudden noisy sound reached the shopkeeper's ears.

The shopkeeper turned around and saw several people in official uniforms coming outside his shop.

Behind these people, there were more than a dozen men wearing police uniforms.

Some customers who were about to enter the store saw these people quickly leaving the store and walking aside.

"I wonder what some adults are doing when they come to my shop?"

The shopkeeper frowned slightly and came to these people to salute.

"Humph!"

“Some customers said that your store is defrauding customers!”

"My lord now orders you to close the shop and return to the government with me for questioning."

The leading man looked at the shopkeeper in front of him with a trace of anger on his face.

The surrounding guests had anger on their faces when they saw this scene, and they could see it at a glance.

These people are deliberately looking for trouble. The paper sold in this store is so cheap that there is no way to defraud customers.

However, they are all common people and they dare not go against the government.

I can only mourn for this shopkeeper in my heart. Someone must have asked these people from the government to come to this shop to put pressure.

"I do business with integrity and will not deceive customers. I will not close the shop or go to the government with you!"
