Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter 88 The Troubles of Spring

At the end of March, the paper-making workshop was finally put into production, which solved another worry of mine.The new type of paper is praised by scholars for its superior quality of flexibility, whiteness, and ink-dispersion, which is more than one step higher than that of bamboo paper.Just in the stage of trial sales, Chang'an was quite loud. In just four days, the 52 rolls ([-] sheets per roll) of new paper for trial sales in stock were sold out.Businessmen in Chang'an saw that it was profitable, and a large number of orders came in immediately.

The scale of the completed workshop is more than three times larger than when I first planned it. The houses of the craftsmen behind occupy a hundred acres of land, and all of a sudden the slope land next to the Zhuangzi is used up. The same houses are neatly arranged, which is truly spectacular.Large scale means high output. Today, the daily output of the paper workshop has reached the level of [-] sheets per day. There is still room for this number to rise. According to my estimation, if the production is carried out at full capacity, the output should be doubled again.

Lanling carefully formulated technical confidentiality measures. There are nearly 21 craftsmen in the workshop, all of whom are registered in the Ministry of Households.The few old masters who mastered the key technology were even more pitiful. Their whole family was relocated to Zhuangzi by Lanling. Although the salary was frighteningly high, their personal freedom was severely restricted.Several gates were guarded by guards personally dispatched by the Lanling Mansion, and everyone in the workshop issued a small sign indicating their identity. No matter what, if there is no sign, people will be chased away, and bulls will be chased away.At first glance, it is not a paper mill, just like a secret military research unit in the [-]st century.

"Nonsense!" After listening to Accountant Hu's report, I was furious, "How can the price of trial sales be confused with the price after the official production! Since it is a cooperation, they have no right to unilaterally set the price!"

Recently, there have been strange changes in the battle situation in Liaodong. As a military enthusiast, of course, I will not let go of such a good exercise opportunity.Now I have become a frequent visitor to the military department. I go to the five guards on the right every now and then to read the military intelligence and battle reports, and carefully record them back, and repeatedly deduce them on the sand table I carefully crafted.

Lanling still runs home every day, gets up early in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and plays the Four Kingdoms War (Tang, Goryeo, Silla, Baekje) on the sand table with me in the afternoon. It is like this every day, and I never get tired of it.At dusk, just as Lan Ling reluctantly said goodbye and went out, Accountant Hu broke in sweating profusely and reported to me a news that made me angry. Lan Ling unilaterally set the price of new paper. It was half less than my original psychological price, and I didn't discuss it with my representative at all during the whole process.

Is there any business sense?Is there still a spirit of cooperation?Breach of contract, outrageous and unreasonable breach of contract, belongs to commercial fraud and belongs to the overlord clause!

Accountant Hu saw that my face was a bit scary, so he comforted me: "Young Lord, please calm down, there is still room for maneuver in this matter, but I can't do anything about it, I have to rely on the prestige of Young Lord to negotiate with His Royal Highness in person. "Speaking of this, he shook his head helplessly, "The shopkeeper of the other party is a woman, sharp-tongued, savage and unreasonable, it is really hard for me to resist, it is better for you to negotiate with Her Royal Highness face to face."

After the paper-making workshop was put into production, Lanling sent a female supervisor. It is said that she is the housekeeper of a village under Lanling's management. She is a 20-year-old Guanzhong old lady who has not yet left the cabinet.Known to be shrewd, dexterous, quick and capable, with all kinds of deeds and rumors that are unstoppable, accountant Hu has met an invincible opponent.

"Well, Mr. Hu has worked hard. Good men don't fight with women. I will discuss this matter with the princess myself. You can do what you usually do. Can a little girl turn the world upside down for her?" I know the women in Guanzhong. Capable and pungent, it's not something that a well-mannered accountant can handle.Fortunately, there is only one chief accountant in the two companies now, as long as Accountant Hu makes the books neat.As for the female shopkeeper, if you don't believe me, you can't deal with her!

"Yes, yes!" Accountant Hu promised repeatedly, raised his head and said seriously: "What the young master said is true. It is related to the reputation of the workshop, and this matter must be done quickly. I'm afraid there will be no explanation if it is too late. Customized Once the price of the price is distributed, it is too late to reset it.”

"Well, we'll do it early tomorrow morning!" It's getting late now, it's a little inappropriate to chase Lan Ling back, so she will come over early tomorrow morning to talk about it. "Mr. Hu has worked hard all day, let's share dinner later." This matter has made Lao Hu tired, so I will prepare a richer dinner to compensate him.

"Xie Xiaohou, I have an appointment with Steward Qian for a drink today..." Accountant Hu questioned.

"Oh, it's okay." I smiled generously, "Then I'll treat Mr. Hu to dinner next time, so I won't delay your drinking with Uncle Qian. Hehe..."

Just about to chat with Accountant Hu and ask about the floral water workshop, a servant girl's greeting came from outside the door, and the second daughter came back.Accountant Hu was a person with a wink, so he quickly resigned.

"Who told you to come in?" The second daughter's scolding voice came in, "Don't go out yet! See you in the back house next time, don't complain..."

"Second daughter!" I heard the second daughter's screaming outside, and hurried out to stop it, "Don't blame them, I let them in." I smiled kindly to the two maids outside, " The second lady is back, you go out and rest."

Seeing the servant girl went down, I dragged the second daughter into the room, and gave her a look, "I'm not happy if you're not here, so I asked the two servant girls to come in to serve you? I'm so used to it, I won't be able to beat you for a few days. return!"

The second daughter was timidly tall, her feet were aggrieved on the ground, and she had a pitiful appearance.

"Stop pretending!" I pulled her to sit down and gave her a cup of warm sugar water, "Drink it soon, rest on the crooked kang for a while, and the goat's milk will be brought after you eat." Now it's a habit in the palace As soon as the second lady came back, she hurriedly asked the kitchen to heat the goat milk, so there was no need to order it.

Although the toilet water workshop continues to expand its production, it is far from meeting market demand, and the situation of supply exceeding demand continues.Now not only Chang'an, but foreign merchants and Hu merchants have joined the purchasing team. As soon as the weather warms up, the scene of the shop assistants outside the dew workshop with their bedding papers queuing up day and night has become a major sight in Wangjiazhuangzi.In order to be sympathetic to these orderers, a boss's rest room was specially built in the workshop so that these hard workers have a shelter from the wind and rain.

The better the business, the busier the second daughter is, working from dawn to dusk all day long.I also feel distressed when I have time, and I want her to take a leave of absence and rest at home for a few days, but I just don't want to.After a long time, seeing her work hard, I will stop persuading her.As long as the nutrition keeps up, the little girl will still be like the wheat seedlings in spring, rushing up and down. After a few months, she has grown a lot of knots, and her height has caught up with Ying, maybe a little stronger than Ying. .

The second girl listened to my words, kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the kang, hugged a big pillow and tilted it to the edge of the kang, and kept slapping her eyes at me.

"If you don't learn what's good, you won't look good for a day." I leaned over and picked up the shoes she had worn all the way and arranged them neatly. Cover it, why don't you take off your socks when you don't sleep? Don't catch a cold."

"My husband knows that my concubine's feet can't bear to be covered, and I'm sweating." The second daughter stretched out her arms and said softly, "My husband also comes up, and I won't be tired after hugging for a while."

I went over and "touched" the second daughter's feet, they were cold, and I covered them with my hands to warm her up for a while.Sweaty feet are annoying, let's say they sweat, they are always cool and thin, not warm, and people are easy to catch cold from their feet.

I have to make a shoe for the second daughter, and I will change it when I come back.I saw Lanling wearing that two days ago, the sides are breathable and it is not easy to cover sweat. "Wait a minute, the goat's milk will be delivered." I squeezed the blanket for her, "The madam will be back, hurry up and eat for a while."

After the spring plowing, Ying was free.I am planning to renovate the garden at home, and now I am visiting other people's gardens door-to-door to learn from experience.I also asked the housekeeper to move some ginkgo seeds outside and plant them in the garden. I planted them with lettering when I was young, and I can also promote ginkgo health tea among relatives and friends.

As soon as the second daughter drank the goat's milk, Ying came back in a hurry. Seeing her happy appearance, she must be a good example of someone to meet.

Sure enough, just after dinner, Ying couldn't wait to drag me to the kang to discuss the renovation of the garden. The second daughter also climbed up and rolled next to me to have fun, and the family of three nestled together early.

"What are you doing here?" I pushed the second daughter next to me, "Walk in the yard before it's dark, and melt the food first." The second daughter came back late today and didn't make time for extra meals , I ate a whole fat chicken for dinner, and Ying and I were dumbfounded.When I was growing up, I couldn't do without eating. If I ate too much, I was afraid that she would have a stomachache.

"Let her be next to her." Ying pointed to the hawthorn water on the kang table, "Pour a bowl and drink it yourself, be careful if you get a stomachache in the middle of the night and get out of bed." Seeing that the second daughter stood up and drank the hawthorn water, she said in satisfaction: " The second daughter's body is probably taller than my concubine's. When she was her age, she didn't have the face to stuff things on the dinner table like that. After only half a year, the second daughter's appearance has also improved, and her skills have improved. All the expenses are paid back by her."

The second girl was embarrassed by what she said, so she covered her face with my leg, and twisted beside me.

I touched the head of the second girl, "What are you sorry for? I'm praising you. Get up and sit down, and then go to sleep after the contents of your stomach go down." I turned my face and asked Ying: "In the twelfth lunar month, it was said that the garden will be repaired. There is still no movement, if we don’t do it, the flowers and plants will not be able to carry it when the weather gets hot.”

"I understand this truth, but I don't know what it looks like for a while." Ying moved towards me, and put her softly in my arms, "I was taken by the county magistrate to see her garden today. Catch up with the son of the third child in E Gong's mansion to celebrate his first birthday, so we went to join in the fun."

"What happened later?" I put Ying across my lap to make her lie comfortably.

Ying took my hand and held it lightly, "Later, I didn't care about looking at the garden anymore. When I passed the 'Xingshan Temple', I went in and made another wish before rushing back. I added a tael of sesame oil money."

"Why don't you go to the 'Ci'en Temple'? Didn't you say that it is effective?"

"It's still far away, I don't want to run away, so I'll make a wish along the way." Ying Chi Chi laughed.

"Hehe, the Buddha was so angry when he heard your words." I lightly tugged Yingying's ears, "I cut corners even if I made a wish. But there's still enough money for the sesame oil, I'm afraid the lazy Buddha will have to get up and help you with this." busy."

Ying said with a natural look, "That's what I think, and it's unreasonable not to help after collecting the money." She arched her body, touched a yellow purse from her clothes, and handed it to me, "The one who passed the west archway At that time, a lottery was cast, although it was not the lottery, but it was in response to our family's affairs, and the interpreter said that it was smoother than the lottery. Husband put it in, God bless us."

"En!" I, a materialist who had already broken the feudal superstition, carefully hung the yellow purse that Ying handed over into my underwear, feeling warm in my heart.I know what Ying is thinking, "Don't worry, we are still young, you will only be twenty after April, I'm afraid you won't be born by then."

"That's good!" Ying turned over and put her arms around my waist, "The family is slowly recovering, and my husband is now famous, and he is still in the imperial army. Seeing that the family is getting better day by day, It's really unreasonable for the concubine not to add incense to the Wang family."

While Ying was talking, the second girl stretched out her hand and scratched the back of my spine a few times, as if signaling her existence, as if she was writing. I couldn’t tell what she was writing, I just felt like writing. I am quite proud.After hearing Ying's words, she probably became alive again, playing tricks.

"It's a long day, don't worry about it." I patted Ying on the cheek and comforted me: "Maybe I'll be pregnant tomorrow. Or, let's work hard for two months, and the husband will talk about it later?"

"Go!" Ying was blushed by my words, and quickly buried her head in my arms, "The second daughter is in front of me, so I'm not afraid of spoiling her, no matter the time."

"It's nothing, we've been rolling on the kang together for a few months, I don't know." I patted the second girl who was writing on my back, "I talked about Yuanzi, and I've been talking about it for a long time. Is it gone?"

"Okay. Let's make it look like the one in Egong's mansion. The one-year-old boy looks very distressed, as dark as his grandfather." Ying said with envy in her tone, fascinated.

E Gongwei Chi Jingde, the black charcoal door god on the door, probably not so good at appreciating it.The old man left right and wrong very early, and he planted flowers and grass at home in his spare time. I heard that the garden at home was planned by him himself. Thinking of this, I felt a chill: "Do you think about it? Don't make a mess in our house just because someone raised a kid." It’s all right. If the garden is rebuilt, people will be in trouble if they can’t get in.”

"Okay!" Ying said smugly: "This time the concubine makes up her own mind, so don't worry about your husband. Just start working in a few days!"

"It's nice to say, it's not your decision."
