Wang Mang is a person who has a great desire to share. After leaving the residence of his uncles in Beique Jiadi, Wang Mang took the remaining "Jie Rou Paper" to Tianlu Pavilion.

Liu Xin and Yang Xiong saw Wang Mang coming with something, and they asked curiously: "What are you bringing?"

Wang Mang smiled and said: "This thing is a wonderful thing. I brought it specially for the two wise men."

When Liu Xin and Yang Xiong saw that Wang Mang was about to activate the gift-giving skill again, they immediately laughed and said, "Jujun, this is enough."

Wang Mang also laughed and said: "The words of the wise elders are wrong! Mang respects the two wise elders as brothers, so naturally they share the blessings. This thing is not a precious thing, it was made by chance in Mang's spare time.

I also hope that the two wise elders will not dislike it."

After Wang Mang finished speaking, he put down the "clean and soft paper" in his hand, and led Yang Xiong and Liu Xin over, curiously looking at the wonderful thing Wang Mang mentioned.

When they saw that what Wang Mang was talking about was paper, they both shook their heads and said, "You have lied to us. How expensive is paper? This piece is worth at least a thousand gold!"

Obviously, the two of them still have a very clear understanding of the value of paper. Such a large pile of paper, in their impression, is at least worth a thousand dollars.

How can you accept such a luxurious thing so easily?

Wang Mang smiled and said: "There is paper worth thousands of gold, but it is not my paper. My paper craftsmanship is exquisite and the cost is low. This piece of paper is only worth a few five baht coins!"

Liu Xin and Yang Xiong didn't believe Wang Mang's words.

What is a five-baht coin? It was the smallest unit of currency calculation in the Han Dynasty. The value of this kind of money in the Han Dynasty was only equivalent to a few cents.

Even if time travels two thousand years to the era before Wang Mang traveled through time, an extremely ordinary five-baht coin only costs three to five yuan.

It can be seen from this that the living stock of five baht coins is so huge that it is not worth mentioning at all.

Of course, the main reason why so many five-baht coins from the Han Dynasty were leaked out to later generations was because people in the Han Dynasty had a custom of lavish burials.

When wealthy families bury their dead, they often bury millions of five-baht coins in the grave!

A Han tomb is like this. The Western Han, Eastern Han and Han Dynasties combined are four hundred years old. During these four hundred years, it is unknown how many dignitaries were turned into loess and buried deep underground.

In the past four hundred years, so many dignitaries and dignitaries were buried in one grave, and no one knew how much wealth they would be buried with!

It can be imagined from this that the five-baht coin is almost always the currency with the lowest face value, whether in the Han Dynasty or modern times.

Yang Xiong said: "Jujun is joking, I still know how much paper is worth. Don't lie to me anymore."

Wang Mang said: "If Brother Ziyun is like this, I will criticize him. As the saying goes, if you don't notice, you won't say anything. Since Mang said the value of this piece of paper, it is naturally well-founded."

"This paper was made by me and my two cousins ​​at a manor in the countryside, based on a modified method of old papermaking. The raw materials used are mainly green bamboo, rags, and rags. Such things are so ordinary, how can they be valuable?

Thousands of gold?"

After Liu Xin and Yang Xiong listened to Wang Mang's explanation, they looked at each other with shock in each other's eyes!

Papermaking can be improved, but how can it be improved to this extent in one step?

This is beyond their imagination.

But the two of them also knew that Wang Mang was a humble person. Although Wang Mang was humble and charitable, he was upright and bright. He understood the essentials of Confucian classics and disdained people who lied.

Since Wang Mang said so, then the true value of this piece of paper must be as Wang Mang said.

Liu Xin and Yang Xiong couldn't bear it and wanted to try the paper Wang Mang brought.

The two of them walked up to Wang Mang and reached out to touch the paper.

As soon as the hand touched, the two people's brows immediately frowned.

Liu Xin raised his head and asked doubtfully: "Jujun, this paper is soft, so it shouldn't be able to write normally?"

Wang Mang smiled and said: "Brother Zijun said it is true. This paper cannot be used for normal writing. But the function of this paper is not only for writing text. This paper is not only soft, but also able to absorb water. I named the paper '

"Jierou'" means clean and soft. It is also used in daily life."

Liu Xin and Yang Xiong were both extremely smart people. After listening to Wang Mang's words, they carefully touched the feeling of "clean and soft paper".

The two of them immediately laughed tacitly and exclaimed: "What a wonderful thing!"

Wang Mang also laughed and said, "Can you two wise men refuse this wonderful thing?"

Liu Xin and Yang Xiong laughed and said: "My brother is very wise, so I accept it with a smile."

At this time, the two of them were not polite, and directly accepted the clean and soft paper Wang Mang brought. Who would want to suffer when they can enjoy such a wonderful thing?

After all, those who can use luxurious things like brocade cloth are either rich or noble. Although Liu Xin and Yang Xiong are also descendants of aristocratic families, there is still a gap between them and those truly wealthy families!

Therefore, the two of them had no reason to refuse Wang Mang's gift. Moreover, the value of this thing was so low that it would be hypocritical to refuse it.

After seeing Liu Xin and Yang Xiong accept it, Wang Mang also expressed his thoughts.

After all, the paper has been made. If it cannot be converted into profits, wouldn’t it be a big loss?

Although Wang Mang is also a man who is not short of money, in Wang Mang's time-travel consciousness, such an exclusive product is a symbol of the source of wealth.

Wang Mang knew that Liu Xin's father, Liu Xiang, was currently serving as a lieutenant in the middle camp. This position had a rank of two thousand shi and was equivalent to a feudal official at the level of a county guard.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Liu Xiang has a good friend named Gu Yong, who is now the Shaofu Ling, one of the Nine Ministers.

The post of Shaofu is equivalent to the later Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the later State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Although such a super yamen was inconspicuous among the nine ministers of the Han Dynasty, it was indeed a real money bag yamen for the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, because the Shaofu controls the country's resources and the salt and iron business, the Shaofu's daily procurement and sales work is also very large.

Therefore, Shaofu is still the only super channel merchant in the Han Dynasty who has business channels all over the country!

If such a powerful yamen can purchase the new paper produced by Wang Mang and then use their huge sales channels, I believe that in the near future, Wang Mang paper will bloom all over the country and become a daily necessity for the people of the Han Dynasty.

As a result, the wealth and benefits brought about are by no means comparable to ordinary benefits.

After all, the price of this paper is low and the quality is good. Although there is only one category of Jierou now, with continuous trial and error experiments and technological improvements, there will inevitably be more types of paper products.

When the time comes, as the Shaofu sells these papers at low prices throughout the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang will not only obtain profits from selling paper.

He will definitely be able to win a good reputation as a pragmatic and good person among the Han people because of the huge price advantage and convenience of this paper!

This is much better than Wang Mang who could only gain fame in the original historical time and space!
