"The output has reached the expected standard, what's wrong?" Lin Hong frowned and asked in confusion.
“Well, build a few more papermaking workshops, and at the same time reduce the number of goods purchased from the demons, and instead increase the purchase of goods from other races, in order to maintain the supply of goods between different races. Supply and demand are balanced." Jiang Yu said seriously after pondering for a moment.
"I understand the subsequent adjustment strategy, reducing demon products and increasing products from other races. This is to maintain the diversity and stability of the market... But, why build more papermaking workshops?" Lin Hong still seemed very confused.
There was confusion in his eyes. Currently, Jiang Yu's two territories each have a papermaking workshop.
The existing two workshops are sufficient to supply the needs in the territory.
"I plan to sell paper to other territories and even further places." Jiang Yu's answer surprised Lin Hong. He directly pointed out his real intention to expand production, "For now, as long as we can further reduce the cost of paper, If the production cost is lower than the expensive and inconvenient writing tools used by the gods and demons, our paper will have a very large market competitive advantage."
"I see,..." Lin Hong. After hearing this, I suddenly realized.
Although he still doesn't quite understand what kind of large-scale business layout Jiang Yu is planning, he can somewhat understand the logic behind Jiang Yu's approach - using cost advantages to expand production, open up markets, and enhance The economic strength of the territory.
But what Lin Hong didn’t know was.
Jiang Yu actually has a more far-reaching plan hidden in his heart - a silent cultural invasion of other territories.
Paper, as the crystallization of human wisdom and a major invention, its production costs have dropped significantly since Cai Lun improved papermaking, which made the widespread circulation of paper possible and laid the material foundation for Jiang Yu's plan.
And this is just the first step.
As a carrier of information, once paper is circulated in other territories, the words written on the paper and the ideas conveyed will also be spread.
In this way, as time goes by, paper and the culture it carries will gradually penetrate into other territories and become a subtle means of cultural invasion.
In the territories of other large clans, the writing tools and recording methods they use are different, but there is a common problem: it is very troublesome to read.
In contrast, human writing can be read at a glance by simply unfolding the paper.
As for those wealthy families, because they rely on divine power or magic power to write, not only do they consume a lot of divine power or magic power every time they write, but they also need to be activated with divine power or magic power every time they read it, which is a cumbersome step. Complex, far less concise, clear and easy to use than paper.
What's more, the cost of paper is low, which makes Jiang Yu full of confidence in his plan.
He believes that with these advantages of paper, he can easily open up markets in other territories and promote paper and the culture it carries to a wider world.
As a result, Jiang Yu's territory began to invest heavily in production, and paper soon became a basic tool that was very popular in the territory.
In Jiang Yu's territory, the circulation of paper quickly brought about many changes, and several specific examples vividly demonstrate the impact of this change.
Huang Zhiyuan said to Lin Hong very happily: "I finally have a novel to read!"
"I used to read it with bamboo slips, which were heavy and difficult to turn over. I was exhausted, but now it's better." Now, with these lightweight papers, at least I can still see clearly.”
Qin is working hard in the territory. Si Ling also smiled for the first time in a long time: "It would be great if there was movable type printing, so that we could copy and spread knowledge faster, without having to copy word by word by hand like now."
"But , even so, these papers have greatly reduced my work load. ”
"It's a pity that mobile phones can't connect to the Internet. Why can't we sell mobile phones here?" Miao Qingqing said helplessly.
"What you're talking about is nonsense. Other races' territories don't have such things as base stations. What's the point of buying them?"
Conversations like this happen from time to time. At the same time, as time goes by.
The take-out paper from Jiang Yu’s territory also began to be circulated to other territories.
...
In Maye’s territory.
At this time, Moye was riding a huge monster with blue light all over his body, dressed up and traveling. There were countless guards around him, slowly patrolling his vast territory.
I have to say that the demon territory is indeed very different from other races. Everything here reveals a mysterious and powerful sense of power.
Mayer, the demon territory, if you look down from a high place, you can see that the towering black castle is located in the center of the territory.
The walls of the castle are engraved with complex magic runes, shining with dark red light, as if powerful magic power can be released at any time.
Surrounding the castle are various buildings and urban areas in the territory.
Outside, there are patches of dense black forest. The branches and leaves of the trees are like sharp blades, shining with a faint green light, giving people a chilling feeling.
In the depths of this forest, there are various strange monsters hidden. They roar or growl, adding a bit of mystery and danger to this territory.
In the urban area of the territory, Maye is patrolling his territory.
As a demon lord, his appearance is also unique.
He is tall, his skin is a deep dark purple, and his eyes are like burning flames, revealing a kind of majesty and power.
There is a pair of sharp magic horns on the top of his head, and a long tail is trailing behind him. The end of the tail is burning with blazing magic fire, as if it is a symbol of his strength.
Mayer looked around.
His demon residents all live in houses built by magic. These houses have different shapes, some are like spires, and some are like huge mushrooms, but they all exude a faint magic light and protect The demons living inside are protected from outside interference.
The diet of the demons is also different.
They do not eat ordinary food, but rely on absorbing magic power to sustain life.
In a certain corner of the territory, there is a special source of magic power. Demons will go there regularly to absorb magic power through specific rituals to meet their survival needs.
In their daily lives, demon people attach great importance to the practice of magic.
They will learn various magic skills in specialized magic academies, ranging from basic magic theory to advanced magic applications.
In the academy's library, there are a large number of magic books, recording the magic knowledge accumulated by the demon people over thousands of years.
In addition to practicing magic, demons also have a wealth of entertainment activities.
