Yu San doesn't have a name, or his name is Yu San.

Since he was a child, he was sold to Yufu as a person, and at first he just did some chores such as brushing the bucket and pouring night incense in the house, and later because he was clever, he was once seen by the steward, and he was able to leave the house and make a little man in the family's shop.

A few days ago, due to his outstanding performance, he was unusually promoted from a guy to the shopkeeper of this store, which can be said to be the highest point in his life.

The Yu family has been in the paper mill business for decades, and the paper produced by the family can be supplied to the imperial court and the market can be satisfied, and it is quite popular in the whole Jingguo, so the Yu family's shop in Kyoto used to be full of customers, and most of the time, he had to be busy from morning to night.

Raising his eyes and seeing a person walking in, Yu San immediately walked out and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ma, business has been good recently, I just ordered a batch of goods yesterday, and I came to order it again today?" ”

This shopkeeper is in the picture book business, and has always used the Yu family's paper, and occasionally gives him a few wonderful picture albums, so that he can chat and comfort in the lonely night.

The shopkeeper showed embarrassment on his face and said, "Don't hide it, I'm here today to return the goods." ”

"Returns?" Yu San looked at him in surprise and asked, "But what is wrong with the quality of that batch of goods, although the shopkeeper can rest assured, if this is the case, we can change it again after verification." ”

"No, it's ......" The shopkeeper's face was difficult, and he hesitated for a while before he spoke: "It's a few new paper mills in the city, the paper is of high quality, and the price is less than one percent compared to the same level here, so I'm here to ...... it."

Those who do business are not fools, and they can buy better quality things at a low price of one percent, so they don't have to think about how to make a choice.

"A new paper mill?" Yu San was stunned at first, thinking that this was a malicious trick by a competitor, but before he could have any doubts, footsteps came from outside the door again.

After a while, looking at the few people standing in front of him, Yu San's face showed a look of vigilance, "You are all here to return the goods?" ”

……

Just when Yu San rushed out of the store and rushed towards the Yu family, in the Yu Mansion, Yu Dingfeng's complexion had changed greatly.

"What did you say?" The head of the Yu family, who was discussing important matters with the Cui family, stood up suddenly, grabbed the collar of the next person, and asked, "Are you saying that the paper sold by someone outside is of better quality than the Yu family, and the price is only less than one percent of ours?" ”

The people of the Yu Mansion said in a trembling voice: "The head of the Yu family, ......, several shops in Kyoto, and the people who go to return the goods have lined up for a long time......

Yu Dingfeng let go of his collar, forced himself to calm down, and asked: "Have you checked out, who are the people behind these shops, and what kind of paper is that paper?" ”

If this is just a competitor's malicious suppression, that's okay, how big is the cost of papermaking, he knows better than anyone else, the better the quality, the higher the cost, if it is sold at a low price, even the cost can not be recovered, it is naturally impossible to last long.

But if it is ......, if someone really improves the art of papermaking and can make high-quality paper at a very low cost, the Yu family, the things that the Yu family depends on for survival, will be gone all of a sudden......

What's more, in order to let the academy buy more paper at a high price, so that they can make a profit from it, the Yu family ......, but even the family funds have been invested in it, hoarding a large number of goods, if, just say if, if there is a kind of high-quality and inexpensive paper on the market, no one is willing to buy the paper of the Yu family, the Yu family, the Yu family will really be exhausted.

"Their background, can't be found......" The man looked at Yu Dingfeng and whispered: "Those papers have been sent to be inspected, and the quality is indeed very high, and it has never appeared on the market before." ”

Before the next man's words were finished, the voice of the man surnamed Cui next to him came.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, what's wrong with you......, Brother Yu, Brother Yu wake up!"

Yu Dingfeng was pinched by a man surnamed Cui, and after waking up slowly, he felt a chill down his spine, and his face turned even pale, and said: "Go, send someone to the princess's mansion, no, no, prepare the car, prepare the car, I will go in person!" ”

Although the eldest princess has always lived in the palace, the princess and prince in the palace can open a mansion outside the palace after she becomes an adult.

Yu Dingfeng urged the coachman all the way, regardless of whether he would be seen by the imperial history when he drove a carriage rampaging in the capital, and hurriedly got out of the car when he arrived in front of the princess's mansion.

After being brought into the princess's mansion, she has been waiting in a side hall somewhere.

He was apprehensive, and he brewed a cup of tea for an unknown number of times, until there was no taste, and then he saw a female official slowly walking in from outside.

Yu Dingfeng hurriedly got up and said straight to the point: "I came today to supply paper ...... for the academy."

The female officer looked at him and smiled slightly: "There are a few new paper shops in Kyoto, does Marquis Yu know?" ”

Yu Dingfeng's legs were weak and he fell back into the chair heavily.

……

"How can this be, how can this be......" Chen Qing paced in the hall, glanced at Chen Chong who was sitting there drinking tea from time to time, and said: "It's only been a few days since that night, that is, before this, someone was already planning the Yu family?" ”

"Isn't that normal?" Chen Chong glanced up at him and asked, "What did the Cui family say?" ”

Cui Qingze flipped the table on the spot, this is not just a matter of not preventing the establishment of the academy. Chen Qing said with some irritability: "The Yu family has done their best to bring down the eldest princess this time, and it is precisely because of their best efforts that ------ there will be no Yu family anymore." ”

Chen Chong shook his head and said: "Yu Dingfeng is too greedy, after the incident of the Fanbang businessman, the vitality of the Cui family was greatly damaged, and now there is no Yu family, the Cui family is like a broken arm, and this arm was deliberately cut off." ”

"Deliberately cut off?" Chen Qing's brows furrowed, and he was suddenly startled, and asked: "You mean, he has already started to plan ......, impossible, impossible, he and the King of Shu are just personal grudges, and he has never been close to any prince, the King of Jin is too young, His Majesty still has so many adult princes, it is impossible to be the King of Jin, this is unreasonable, and it is not in line with the etiquette, he is close, and there is only the eldest princess, does he still want to assist the eldest princess on the throne?" ”

"Naturally, this is impossible." Chen Chong shook his head and said, "But I always feel that this is just the beginning, let's look at it......"

He stood up, looked at Chen Qing, and said slowly: "Perhaps, our Chen family, it's time to think about it......

Qinfu family banquet.

Qin Yan sighed and said: "This time, the Yu family has no chance to turn over, after this time, those big families who take the paper mill as their business will be greatly injured, if they are desperate like the Yu family, even the entire family will be affected." ”

He said a few words, and when he saw Qin He, who was fighting with the seven-year-old naughty boy at the next place, Qin Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Old Five, can you stop being so nonsense, can't you do something serious?" ”

"Hey, the fifth uncle is an elder, you should respect the elders, and you can't rob me of ......" The fifth master of the Qin family was teasing with the child born to Qin Yan's concubine, and raised his head when he heard this, with a stunned face, "Big brother, I'm doing business every day......"

"Watching plays, listening to music, this is what you are talking about?"

Qin Wuye looked dazed, "Could it be ...... Doesn't that count? ”

……

"It's all arranged according to what you said, in the future, the price of paper will fall sharply, like the Yu family, the scene of a monopoly will not appear again, of course, even if it is a dominance, we are the only one......"

Li Xuan said this lazily, thought of one more thing, sat up in his spirits, and asked suspiciously: "Now can you tell me, what is the second kind of paper used for?" ”
