Fortunately, he brought some guards with him this time. If he faced these gangsters, he would have some confidence.
However, these people seemed to be a little small.
He turned to look at Jia Daoren and said solemnly, "Old Jia, do you have any way to recruit some people to serve as guards? Otherwise, I'm afraid the fifty people I brought are a little small. "
Jia Daoren smiled and said, "Master, you don't have to worry about this. I've been in Jiangnan for so long. Naturally, I've bought some people. Although there aren't many, there are more than three hundred people. The guards are enough."
Zhang Feng looked at Jia Daoren in surprise. He didn't expect this old guy to have a trick up his sleeve. He couldn't help but look at him in a new light. "Old Jia, you've done well. Including the three hundred people under you, we can be considered a big force now."
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something and frowned. "How is Yu 'er now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuyao and Jingshu looked at each other and then looked at Jia Daoren.
Although they had accepted Yu Yu 'er, Prince Zhang came to Jiangnan to find her this time.
It made the two girls a little uncomfortable. Later, when they heard that she was in danger, they couldn't help but worry about her.
They didn't know what they were thinking now. Were they worried about Yu Yu 'er? Or were they jealous?
While they were daydreaming, Jia Daoren said, "Master, Miss Yu 'er's situation is not very good now. Many young masters of the seven families have come to propose marriage, but they were all rejected by the Yu family. This made those young masters very angry. They used their family's power and began to restrict the Yu family's business. Now, many of the Yu family's businesses are restricted by the seven families. Most of them can't be sold."
Zhang Feng frowned. He didn't expect Yu 'er's situation to be so bad. But the good thing was that her life was not in danger. Now, he could only help Yu' er get out of this predicament as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Jia Daoren. "What business of Yu 'er's family is restricted?"
"It's rice paper." Jia Daoren frowned.
Rice paper?
Zhang Feng was delighted.
When he came over this time, he brought some paper with him. The quality was much higher than Xuan paper. It was made in the paper factory back then. If he could open up the market in Jiangnan, he would not have to worry about Yu 'er's family being restricted.
He smiled and said, "Old Merchant, send someone to buy a few houses later. We'll start attacking the market tomorrow."
"Master, you …" Jia Daoren looked at Zhang Feng in confusion. "Do you also want to sell rice paper?"
Zhang Feng shook his head. "I'm not selling Xuan paper. I have paper better than Xuan paper in my hands. You've been in Jiangnan all this time, so you might not know. When I was in Jiangnan, I already made paper better than Xuan paper. It's just that I didn't sell it to Jiangnan."
Better paper than rice paper?
Jia Daoren frowned in disbelief.
One had to know that Xuan paper was a high-end paper product used by many nobles. Even the emperor used Xuan paper. The scholars of the world even crowned Xuan paper as the number one paper in the world. How could there be other papers that could surpass Xuan paper?
Zhang Feng saw Jia Daoren's look of disbelief and waved to the guard at the door.
The guard understood, turned around, and ran away.
Not long after, sheets of white and flawless paper were laid out in front of Jia Daoren.
"This …"
Jia Daoren looked at the paper in front of him and his pupils constricted. He stuttered, "What paper is this? Why is it so white? "
As he spoke, he could not help but touch the white paper. His body suddenly trembled. "This … this paper is actually smoother than Xuan paper?"
Zhang Feng smiled and grabbed a piece of white paper. "This is the paper I told you about. How does it compare to Xuan paper?"
"This is simply much better than Xuan paper."
Jia Daoren did not even think and directly answered. His face was red as he said, "If this were to be sold in the world, it would definitely attract the attention of scholars. Master, how much of this paper do you have now?"
Zhang Feng did not directly answer. Instead, he frowned. "Not a lot, but it should be enough to sell for two or three days."
"Two or three days?"
Jia Daoren's brows were almost knitted into a line. "Master, two or three days is not enough. You don't know how crazy the scholars in Jiangnan are. Once there is something good, they will buy it even if they have to go bankrupt. I'm afraid that your things will be sold out in a day."
Zhang Feng raised his head and thought for a while. Then, he said, "It's okay. Open the shop first and put out the paper signboard. I will immediately write a letter to Chang 'an to send the paper over."
"It seems like this is the only way." Jia Daoren's face was sad. "But Chang 'an is so far away from Jiangnan. Even if you ride a horse at full speed, I'm afraid it will take seven days?"
Zhang Feng waved his hand and did not mind. "It doesn't matter if it takes longer. First, establish the market. In the future, if the results are good, we will open a paper factory in Jiangnan. Then, we won't have to ship goods over from Chang 'an."
Jia Daoren nodded. "Master, then I will go and arrange the shop."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the door.
His steps were very fast. He walked to the door like a gust of wind.
If he was slower, he would definitely be able to see the black shadow behind the door.
