"Alright, alright! I don't say that...... It's not easy for an old man like me to meddle in the affairs of you young people! Nangong Rong saw that Lin Yingyue didn't speak for a long time, so he laughed and didn't say more. Then he changed his words and asked, "By the way, didn't that kid from Shi Yuan go to Luo Haotian's banquet with you today!" Why are you just coming to the workshop alone...... Where did the boy go? ”

Nangong Rong is really a pot that can't be opened! Although Shi Yuan went to find Baihua, it was Lin Yingyue's permission, but she was definitely unhappy at this time. What that Baihua Fang did in Qingfeng Pavilion, she was very angry, and Shi Yuan still had to go to her, how could she not be annoyed? So, she replied indifferently: "He has something to do, so I'll come here to take a look." ”

Nangong Rong didn't pay attention to Lin Yingyue's expression this time, and when he heard Lin Yingyue's answer, he didn't think much about it, so he nodded and continued: "So that's the case...... That kid was mysterious, and I didn't even know about the new workshop at first. But, then again, I don't know where that kid learned these things......"

Nangong Rong mentioned Shi Yuan, and began to babble. Lin Yingyue, who was on the side, shook her head helplessly when she heard this, and said secretly in her heart: Don't say that your old man doesn't know, he hasn't even said much about these things!

Nangong Rong babbled a lot, then stopped, and asked instead: "By the way, what did Luo Haotian say today?" Speaking of which, for so many years, he hasn't asked about these things, but he recently spent two days in the Lin Mansion and saw all kinds of erosive scenes of the Lin family, so he began to worry.

"Then Luo Haotian originally asked the Guo family, the Jin family, and our Lin family to pay 50,000 taels of silver each to prepare for this Jiangnan Poetry Meeting......" Lin Yingyue heard Nangong Rong rarely ask about these things, so she opened her mouth to talk about it.

But as soon as she spoke, Nangong Rong interrupted her with an annoyed face: "Fifty thousand taels? He Luo Haotian doesn't know how much silver he has looted in Jinling City these days! 、、Actually asked for so much! This dog officer is really getting more and more excessive! There is no one in this court to take care of! That Qinglian Sect ...... Alas! ”

Seeing Nangong Rong's annoyed and disappointed look, Lin Yingyue was also a little helpless about this, so she opened her mouth and added: "Grandpa Nangong, you don't have to be excited, although Luo Haotian asked for 50,000 taels, but after that, ......"

Lin Yingyue then explained what had just happened in Qingfeng Pavilion and stated it to Nangong Rong. And after Nangong Rong heard it, he couldn't help frowning: "So...... Shi Yuan, that kid is ready to host this Jiangnan Poetry Conference? ”

"Well, that's right! He said so, and Luo Haotian had already agreed! Lin Yingyue once again expressed her certainty.

Nangong Rong heard this, hung his head and thought for a long time, but he didn't understand Shi Yuan's intentions, so he shook his head and said, "That kid always makes people unpredictable. However, the Jin family is completely finished this time, and the affairs of Yangzhou have been put on the table like this, plus they have to hand over 100,000 taels of silver to Luo Haotian...... Alas! If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself! ”

Lin Yingyue also nodded silently, but she didn't say much, because she didn't know Shi Yuan's intention to do this now. Then he turned to ask her the question that Zhou Xiong had just asked: "Grandpa Nangong, I just heard Zhou Xiong say that the goods delivered are enough, why do you still want to produce now?" This extra ......"

"This is what Shi Yuan's kid ordered, saying what is it to expand the market......

She had also heard that Zhou Xiong say this, but when she heard Nangong Rong say it again, Lin Yingyue was still confused...... She really couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it anymore. She is not surprised by Shi Yuan's mysterious behavior, since he chose to do this, it must have his intentions.

And after Nangong Rong answered, he seemed to remember something, so he asked again: "Yingyue girl, the price of this paper now?" ”

"This ...... He said he was going to reduce the price, but he hadn't decided yet. And the goods delivered this time are also according to the previous price......" Lin Yingyue explained.

Hearing Lin Yingyue's answer, Nangong Rong also nodded: "Yes!" According to the current speed of papermaking, manpower is much less than before, and it is indeed much more convenient than before...... He also discussed with me about substituting raw materials to minimize the cost...... said that he wanted to fight a price war with the Jin family and completely collapse the Jin family's ......"

What Nangong Rong said, Lin Yingyue also heard Shi Yuan say. In fact, as a stationery item, this market is extremely limited! Although this is an era when everything is inferior and only reading is high, there are very few people who can really afford to read. In their opinion, now Shi Yuan has only reduced the production cycle, which is a lot faster in terms of time, but this is useless.

Because in terms of cost, there is not much savings now. Moreover, because the craftsmen of this Jinling workshop are all handed down from generation to generation in the Lin family's era, the wages are also calculated according to the day. In this way, after the month's work is done in one day, they will be allowed to go home and rest, and the wages will be much less...... Although there is nothing wrong with the practice, it can be a little chilling!

Besides, even if Shi Yuan defeats the Jin family with a price war and the Lin family obtains the rest of the market, but the price is certain, there are only so many people who use paper in Jinling, even if all the people use their Lin family's paper, but the increase in profits is still limited!

But the Jin family is different. Because the Jin family is not fighting a price war, as long as the Jin family occupies the Lin family's market. With Jin Feng's means, as long as the price is slightly raised when the time comes, the profit will naturally increase!

Therefore, whether the price of this paper should be lowered now, Lin Yingyue and others are actually very bottomless in their hearts. Shi Yuan's papermaking method, although it is advantageous, but also has great disadvantages. Because of the limits of the market, this means that most of the time, the Lin family has to come up with a salary for nothing. Although this salary is much less than before, it is also a little inappropriate to let these craftsmen be idle like this! Although the Lin family is known as "Le Hao Shi and Jade Make Soup", it is not a good church after all!

"He's bent on keeping the price to a minimum, and I've advised him. But he told me...... He wants to sell paper to all the people in the world, and when the time comes, paper will become a daily commodity, and many ...... will be built in such a workshop," Lin Yingyue said again about Shi Yuan's plan.

And Nangong Rong heard it, but he shook his head: "I also heard that kid say this!" But no matter how much this cost is reduced, how can it be possible to make this paper an object that everyone in the world uses? Ordinary people don't need these things at all, even if the price is low, how can they buy them? “
