10. White paper sold out

After Guan Yu and Zhang Liao made friends with martial arts, they directly conquered Zhang Liao with force.

He believed that Zhang Liao would definitely become his right-hand man next, and as for Lu Bu, he would not think about going back.

This was what my eldest nephew Liu Yu specifically told him before coming.

Thinking of Liu Yu, Guan Yu couldn't help but smile. He took out a paper copy of "Spring and Autumn" from his arms.

This book was specially made by his eldest nephew Liu Yu before leaving.

In order to make it easier for me to read it frequently, this book also specially used cowhide as the cover. Every time Guan Yu took out this book, he could remember his eldest nephew's painstaking efforts.

Therefore, he always did his best to keep Zhang Liao for his request.

Today is a great day for Sifangzhai to open.

Early in the morning, Cao Bao, Mi Zhu and Liu Yu were all present.

Before, Cao Bao and Liu Bei had a secret discussion, not only decided on the marriage between Liu Yu and Cao Yuan, but also took 20% of Sifangzhai as a betrothal gift.

This is also the reason why he was so willing to hand over most of the military power.

Cao Bao looked at Liu Yu at this time, and the more he looked, he became more and more satisfied. He went up and patted his shoulder and said, "Chang'an, your body is still a little weak. My Cao family still has a lot of high-quality ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. I will send it to you. You can also make up for it before the wedding."

When Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, but said very respectfully on the surface: "Thank you, Lord Taishan, I will go to the mansion to visit Mount Tai in person another day."

"Yes, you should come to the mansion more often. You and my husband and son-in-law have not drunk wine together yet!" Cao Bao couldn't help but nod and said after hearing Liu Yu's words.

"Lord Taishan said it is right, but the son-in-law's alcohol tolerance is average, and he really cannot compare with Lord Taishan." Liu Yu said flatteringly with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll introduce you to a few more juniors from the Cao family. If you drink too much, you will live in the mansion. There are empty houses in the mansion." Cao Bao said with a smile.

Mi Zhu also came over to raise an army and asked, "Your father-in-law and son-in-law are lazy here. Can I take care of this shop alone?"

Cao Bao smiled and said, "It's so hard for those who are capable! Besides, this business is your specialty, Brother Mi, and some rough man can do these things."

"Hmph, Brother Cao, you said it nicely. Your Cao family's shop in Xuzhou City is not much smaller than my Mi family." Mi Zhu didn't buy his account at all and directly retorted.

"Well, Brother Mi, since you have come to this point, I'll take out two more shops to make Sifangzhai?"

"This is almost the same." Mi Zhu responded with a smile.

As the three of them spoke, the shopkeeper ran over sweating profusely and said, "The head of the family is not good. All the white papers prepared are sold out."

"What? Those five cars of blank paper were sold out in less than an hour?"

"Yes, head of the family. Can you see if you can ship some more? There are many people waiting in front of you to ask for goods!" The shopkeeper said while smearing sweat.

After hearing this, Mi Zhu and the other two looked at each other, no one expected that this white paper would be so popular.

After a moment of silence, Mi Zhu wanted to make a white paper to sell.

As a result, Liu Yu said, "Uncle, wait. This blank paper cannot be sold again today."

"Chang'an, there are still several cars of white paper in our village. Why not sell it together today?" Mi Zhu said in confusion.

After hearing this, Liu Yu shook his head and said, "This paper cannot be sold too much at once, and it is too easy to get it and will not be cherished. If people know that this paper can easily make a lot of it, then white paper will be worthless."

A smart person can understand it at a glance. When Mi Zhu heard Liu Yu's words, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "This is the reason. Chang'an, you are indeed a genius in business. So, according to your opinion, how much paper is appropriate to sell every day?"

After hearing this, Liu Yu smiled slightly, poked his hand and stretched out his two fingers and said, "In the future, every store will only sell at most two cars of white paper every day. We use white paper as a guide to attract people, so that they can consume more other items while buying paper."

"Okay, just press and hold what you said. Did you hear it? From tomorrow, you can only sell two cars of white paper." Mi Zhu said directly to the shopkeeper's order.

The shopkeeper responded and quickly ran to the front to greet the guests.

Mi Zhu then said to Cao Bao again: "It seems that your Cao family's store is going to be cashed out soon."

"The shops are all ready-made, you can use whatever you like." Cao Bao said disrespectfully.

At this time, he already knew that this blank paper would not have to worry about selling it, and these 20% of the participants would probably be worth a lot of money in the future.

So now he can't help but make Sifangzhai bigger and stronger now.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Liu Yu smiled and said, "Uncle, in addition to shops, the production scale must also be expanded."

"It still needs to be expanded? Now you can produce blank paper in a day, and even if you open two more shops, it's enough to sell!" Mi Zhu couldn't help asking.

"Uncle, if it were just three shops in Xuzhou City, it would naturally be unnecessary to expand production, but there are still many cities in Xuzhou, Xia Pi, Guangling, Pengcheng, etc. The next step is to open Sifangzhai to those cities."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Mi Zhu and Cao Bao's eyes lit up. The two looked at each other, and Mi Zhu said, "The Mi family has limited places in the village outside the city. Brother Cao might as well take out the village?"

"No problem, I will also send some troops to garrison at two villages to prevent someone from coming to make trouble." Cao Bao said, patting his chest.

Seeing that they reached an agreement, Liu Yu was happy and chatted for a few more words and left first.

When I arrived at the government office, I happened to meet Liu Bei looking for him.

The father and son immediately entered the study room behind to talk.

"Father, are you asking me for something?"

"Chang'an, I'll give you this." Liu Bei handed over a note after he said that.

Liu Yu opened it and saw that it turned out to be a piece of information: Yuan Shao was summoning a large army and was about to go north to attack Gongsun Zan.

After seeing it, Liu Yu looked up and asked Liu Bei, "Father, what do you mean is to send troops now and help Uncle Gongsun?"

"What do I think?"

"In my opinion, it's still early, so why not wait until they fight one more time before talking about it."

"Will this... be a mistake? If your Uncle Gongsun cannot stop Yuan Shao, what should I do?"

"Father, you are concerned about it. Uncle Gongsun has been in the north for a long time, and the foreign race who was killed by Baima Yicong was frightened. Even if his military strength is not as strong as Yuan Shao, he can still hold on for several months.

So we should step up our training at this time, just wait for the time to come, and we can take down the two counties of Langya and Taishan in one fell swoop."

"Huh~ Then according to your words." Liu Bei let out a long sigh and nodded.
