Saint of the Confucian way

Fang Yun nodded and said, "when I came to Yueyang Tower, I didn't see a paper workshop outside the city."

Dong Wencong sighed and said: "As you know, papermaking consumes a lot of water. We need to bleach with lime, discharge the black liquor of straw pulp, and add other waste water to make the papermaking workshop a famous waste water producer. Making a thousand kilograms of paper will produce a hundred thousand kilograms of waste water, a hundred times! The workers have been trying to reduce the waste water of papermaking, but there has been no major innovation. Therefore, papermaking waste water has become the biggest headache of the human race."

Fang Yun nodded, not to mention the present Shengyuan continent, even the countries in the ancient Chinese period were worried about papermaking pollution, and there was no way to solve it.

Dong Wencong continued: "In those days, Qingguo never regarded Xiangzhou people as human beings, so he built a large number of paper mills around Xiangzhou. With the excessive discharge of waste water, there were problems in rivers and waterways in some places, which led Xiangzhou people to take to the streets to oppose the paper mills. This matter made a lot of noise. Even some righteous men ran to the gate of the holy courtyard and burned themselves, alerting the holy courtyard to send people to check. Qingguo had no choice but to stop We have to reduce the paper mills in Xiangzhou and close those small paper mills at the same time, because the smaller the workshops, the more sewage will be discharged. "

"However, there was still a paper mill outside baling city. After Jingguo recovered Xiangzhou, Qingjiang firm closed the last paper mill on the grounds of excessive waste water in the paper mill, and then withdrew all people and organs. However, some people say that Qingjiang firm's paper technology is unique to the human race and better than Jingguo's paper technology. The reason why Qingjiang firm withdrew is to avoid being rejected by Jingguo Steal a teacher. "

"Although Qingjiang firm has removed the paper mills in Baling City, it has paper mills everywhere. It is still the largest paper merchant in Xiangzhou and earns a large amount of silver from Xiangzhou. Now, Zhao firm builds a paper workshop in Baling with local materials and less cost, which will affect Qingjiang firm. Under the impact of Jingguo firm, the income of Qingguo firms would have been reduced by about 10%, if it were Zhao firm His firm has built several paper mills, and the income of Qingjiang firm in Xiangzhou will drop to 70% of the original, which Qingjiang firm will never want to see. "

"Therefore, the lower official thought that the people of Baling took to the streets to oppose this time, that is, Qingjiang firm was manipulated behind the scenes in order to force away Zhao's firm and almost guarantee its dominance in Xiangzhou."

"I basically understand. But what are you going to do with the fact that baling people go to the streets?" Fang Yun asked.

Dong Wencong looked ashamed and said, "the lower official didn't come up with a comprehensive plan. After all, the matter is complicated. It will affect the whole body. In case of public unrest, I'm afraid I will be rated as the lower official by the official department and will be demoted. The lower official is going to convene his staff to discuss a comprehensive plan with all the officials today."

"Well, I'll leave it to you." Fang Yun said.

When Dong Wencong left, Fang Yun was preparing to study, but remembered Dong Wencong's sentence "will be demoted" and stood motionless in the yard.

"As the governor of the two states, I can naturally act first and then act, but I can't decide the transfer of the state shepherd, the state governor and the state court monarch. I have the power to govern the officials at all levels under the three grades of the two states, including the official department and the Zuo Xiang! I can find an excuse to deal with those officials who favor the Qing state or the Zuo Xiang, and Liu Shan can also find an excuse to deal with the Jing official. Since I first came to Xiangzhou, I met thousands of people on the street against me , never let go. "

Fang Yun thought, walked to the side door of the state yamen, where there was no one, took out his pen and ink, quickly changed his appearance by using the power of painting, then changed into ordinary children's clothes and walked out.

The soldiers on both sides of the door looked at Fang Yun and then looked straight ahead.

Fang Yun left the state Yamen and walked out of the narrow lane. After a few steps, he saw several carriages parked outside.

Fang Yun waved, and the driver in front immediately drove to him.

It was a common yellow maned horse that pulled the carriage. The carriage was very old, and the gap between the carriage boards was finger wide.

"Master Tong Sheng, where are you going?" the middle-aged coachman bowed his head and bowed respectfully.

Fang Yun found a piece of twenty Liang silver and threw it to the middle-aged coachman. He smiled and said, "I'm far away. It's the North workshop area outside the city. You may be empty when you come back. Take it."

The middle-aged coachman was very excited and said, "thank you, master Tongsheng! Thank you, master! We can't earn two liang silver a day."

The coachman not far away envied this scene.

Fang Yun entered the carriage and instinctively frowned, because the carriage was too old and even gave off a musty smell, which made Fang Yun, who was used to the dragon horse luxury car, very uncomfortable. However, Fang Yun looked solemn and criticized himself that he should not let his emotions fluctuate because of such a small external influence. In the long run, it is difficult to become a master in a positive mood.

If you are positive, you will not be affected by the negative aspects of yourself or other things.

Fang Yun was reflecting on his extravagance and even hypocrisy, and the voice of the groom came from outside.

"Mr. Tong Sheng, you are a sincere man, so I'll tell you the truth. There is trouble in beigongfang District today. I'm afraid I can only send you to the vicinity of beigongfang district. There's too much money." the middle-aged coachman has a rough face and dark brown face. He has experienced wind and rain for a long time, but his tone is comfortable and honest.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that the troublemakers there will affect you, so I'll give you more money. Take it first and get as far as you can."

The middle-aged coachman hurriedly said, "since you say so, I'll send it wherever you go. The money can make me circle around baling city."

"Let's go." Fang Yun nodded.

"Good! Drive!" the middle-aged coachman waved his whip, the whip tip was harsh, and the carriage moved forward.

After a while, the middle-aged coachman said while driving: "Sir, beigongfang district is restless now. You'd better be careful."

Fang Yun was about to say thank you. His heart moved and asked, "I'm a boy. Does anyone dare to rob a boy?"

"You don't know. There are even people who make trouble. Do you say they dare to beat the boy student?"

"Oh, so? Do you know why they make trouble in the street?"

Middle aged coachman's Road: "Actually, I can't say they make trouble. They are also good for baling. A few days ago, senior officials of Jingguo took good care of Baling in Xiangzhou, but recently it suddenly changed. They even want to build a large paper mill in baling. The older baling people know that it hurts people. Once the paper mill goes out, it stinks for ten miles and the crops for a hundred miles are destroyed. So some people in Baling city go together I oppose the construction of a paper mill. The reason why I say they make trouble is that I saw many local ruffians and hooligans go with them. I also heard them secretly say that they go there to get money. But don't tell others, it's going to lose their head. "

Fang Yun said with a smile, "don't worry. I won't talk nonsense. I'm just curious about it. What do you think of the paper mill?"

The middle-aged coachman said reluctantly, "don't have a paper workshop. Xiangzhou people buy paper more expensive, and Qingguo makes all the money. If you want a paper workshop, baling people will be unlucky for generations. What else can you do? The paper workshop can be built in other areas of Xiangzhou, not baling."
