Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1389 - 1206: Protect the Common People

Regarding the issue of this pure white paper, Lin Yi actually had the capability to address it.

He did not distribute all of this high-quality white paper, nor did he instruct craftsmen or workers to start producing it thoroughly.

He kept it within the palace; only there could it be utilized, and then it was sold externally in limited quantities.

His purpose was simple: to stimulate the luxury market with it.

That is, to drive the high-end market.

In this way, funds could be better recouped, as this society is not solely composed of the poor, but also includes a group of wealthy individuals.

And how to get the money from these wealthy individuals into his hands?

Developing estates is naturally the most profitable method, but Lin Yi intends to bring the concept of luxury goods into the present day.

After all, these aristocrats have substantial wealth.

Their wealth won’t be willingly handed over; it can only be retrieved through such means.

Only in this way will funds flow continuously, and these means are not limited to this one; these papers are just one example.

Without exaggeration, Lin Yi divided everything into 369 levels, not because he didn’t desire equality for all, but because he deeply understood one principle: at any time, there will always be class divisions, and there will always be divisions between the rich and the poor.

The first wealthy group will hide their money, not generously contribute, and it is precisely for this reason that Lin Yi brought this lifestyle of luxury goods into society.

For example, the incense used by ordinary people is different from the soap used by dignitaries.

Of course, the material is naturally the same. As for the differences, well, they’re simply carved more exquisitely. Simply packaged more elegantly.

Or perhaps Lin Yi’s actions didn’t widen the class divide too much but kept it confined to the imagination of the wealthy.

Without exaggeration, the essentials used by the wealthy and the poor are the same; both can wash clean.

But these empty titles are what the wealthy desire.

Just like this white paper in front of him, this is why Hao Jianren, upon seeing the white paper, suddenly had so many ideas; it was precisely because of this reason that when he saw the other party bringing this paper for use, Hao Jianren immediately interrupted the other party’s actions.

This paper was extraordinarily precious.

Using it to write would simply be wasteful.

Thus, he directly picked up a bamboo slip placed there by someone unknown and started writing swiftly. In a moment, a property transfer document was finished.

Looking at this document on the bamboo slip, Hao Jianren felt somewhat amused and helpless momentarily, unable to help himself, since the invention of paper greatly reduced the use of bamboo slips.

After obtaining convenient paper, who uses cumbersome bamboo slips?

What’s more, the words on one bamboo slip altogether aren’t enough for one sheet of paper.

For this reason, bamboo slips have been gradually and subtly eliminated, and few people touch them anymore, even the poor follow suit. A significant reason being the costly production of bamboo slips.

Bamboo slips undergo multiple processes, and each slip must be finely polished, making them inherently expensive, not affordable for the impoverished.

Not only that, even though nowadays the nobility don’t use bamboo slips, their price still hasn’t dropped significantly, for the cost remains. No one sells at a loss, just reduces the quantity.

Looking at the contract, the simple man did not recognize the writing. Only after Hao Jianren read it aloud did he nod in satisfaction and proceed to press his hand upon it.

Until this moment, with the handprint on it, the house officially belonged to Hao Jianren, and Hao Jianren also tossed the remaining gold to the other party; without exaggeration, the simple man instantly became a super-rich man with a thousand silver taels.

With this silver, his future days are simply full of promise.

Without exaggeration, he will definitely live an elite lifestyle, especially now, the price he sold for far exceeds what the first person who ate the crab sold for; that man is now living quite comfortably, and why wouldn’t this simple man be?

Only he lacked the foresight of the other, failing to realize carrying so much wealth is dangerous.

Fortunately, they weren’t trading openly, nor were they exchanging right at the door in front of everyone; hence, apart from Hao Jianren, no one knew he had sold the house,

and moreover, Hao Jianren deliberately avoided publicizing it, thus keeping the matter under wraps. Only the two knew Hao Jianren had bought a house here, and it was the top-floor residence.
