Chapter 229: The Ink Mill and the Paper Mill (2)

After arranging for the craftsmen at the foot of Baishi Mountain in Laozhutian to start building the ink workshop, paper workshop and printing workshop, Zhao Yuan asked Guo Du to drive the carriage and took the family to Xiaozhaozhuang.

Xiao Zhao Zhuang Zhao Yuan's house, although the earthen house here only lived for a few days when the mushrooms were harvested last year, and he didn't live here when he came to pay New Year's greetings after the New Year, but after so long, the house was not dirty, and it was obviously cleaned by Uncle Hua of the pole next door from time to time.

There are not many people at home in Xiao Zhaozhuang, and Zhao Yuan's house is in the west of the village, but he didn't meet anyone in the village along the way.

"Uncle, is there no one at Grandpa Pole's house?" Luoluo, who jumped out of the carriage first, went to the next door for a run and came back and said to Zhao Yuan.

"At this time, they must all have gone to work in the fields, Luoluo, to help the uncle and aunt move the things down." Zhao Yuan took Guo Du to take some things down from the carriage, feeling the tranquility of the countryside, and said to the little girl.

With several small industries under his command on the right track, Zhao Yuan was able to step back and do more other things. Zhao Yuan has already arranged the workshop army and the cement workshop, and the newly opened land is managed by Tao Pu, and Zhao Yuan put his main energy on the ink mill and paper mill that are about to start.

Zhao Yuan is not in a hurry, this time he came to Xiao Zhao Zhuang to bring some raw materials and tools for ink making, first teach Xiao Zhao Zhuang's uncles and brothers the process of ink making, at least let them have a general understanding of the next operation, and Zhao Yuan is very confident in transferring Xiao Zhao Zhuang's relatives from farming and production to small workshops.

"Brother Yuan, the ink workshop needs a person in charge, who are you going to put in charge?" After cleaning up, Zhao Yuan's family sat down in the house.

Zhao Yuan actually has a candidate in his heart, that is, the eldest brother Qiuren of the uncle's family. As the families of Xiaozhaozhuang began to become rich, the Zhao Qiuren brothers who sold food in the small supermarket also felt a little restless, after all, there were still a few people who could buy food in the market, and a few people originally planned to go to Danling County to have a good time.

But Zhao Yuan now has a better arrangement. Among the brothers, Zhao Yang is the youngest, the most active, and the strongest desire to go to Danling, Zhao Qiuren, Zhao Qiuyun, and Zhao Qing are the same as most people in this era.

"I'm going to let Brother Qiuren and them come back and set up the ink workshop, and I want to do something different." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Uncle and uncle, someone in the fourth grandfather's house is at home, and I saw smoke coming out of his house." Luoluo, who was bouncing around in the small courtyard, ran back to the house from Guo Du's side, shaking Zhao Yuan's arm.

"I know, the fourth grandfather's family has no land, so he didn't go to work in the field." Zhao Yuan looked outside the house, and sure enough, there was a puff of smoke on Zhao Si's house, and it should be concocting medicinal materials at this time.

"Doesn't every family have land to grow food, I have land, why doesn't the fourth grandfather have it at home?" Luoluo was puzzled, the land she was talking about was the small piece of land in the vegetable garden of Xiaheba, and this year, the little girl's land has expanded a little.

"Because the fourth grandfather knows how to trade, he can feed his family without farming." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Zhao Si's family originally had more than eight acres of land, but last year from Zhao Yuan got the "Thousand Golden Fang", went out to travel for more than half a year and came back, the family's land was handed over to the village Tie Niu brothers to plant, part of the received grain was handed over to the granary behind the ancestral hall for preservation, and then to Zhao Si's family after paying two hundred catties of wheat a year, the rest are Tie Niu brothers.

After Zhao Si went out for a lap and came back, under the inspiration of Zhao Yuan, he changed from a well-known Langzhong to the owner of the pharmaceutical workshop, and now most of the time he is concocting medicinal materials at home, and after the matching of medicinal materials, the medicinal materials are crushed into Chinese patent pills, and with Zhao Yuan's logistics and transportation team, the medicine is sold to large and small pharmacies in Shudi.

Although it has just started, the first batch of pills has just been shipped out, and it is only an experimental sale, but Zhao Yuan has already expected the profits, and he also has a hunch that after the return of this transportation team, Zhao Si's medicine should expand from a family-style workshop to a small workshop, and it will also drive the surrounding medicine collection and cultivation industry.

From coming to this era to the present, the changes that Zhao Yuan has brought to Xiaozhaozhuang, Gray Yuan Town and even Danling County have initially appeared.

"When will Brother Qiuren be notified that they will come back, now that their food stall is doing well, are they willing to let them come back?" Meng Ying hesitated, in fact, she still wanted Meng Xun to get involved, and wait for an opportunity to talk to Brother Yuan.

"They will definitely agree, and even if they don't, Uncle will let them agree." Zhao Yuan affirmed.

Zhao Yuan's development in Shudi, from the very beginning of the sale of mushrooms, Xiahe Dam to open up wasteland and repair houses, Xiao Zhaozhuang's relatives have given Zhao Yuan the greatest help, and this time is no exception, not to mention that this is a very beneficial thing for several people.

"Uncle, auntie, I want to go out to play, the elder brothers and sisters in the village and a few little uncles have gone to school, the little brothers and sisters must have followed the adults to the field, let's go to them, Uncle Guodu, let's go to the mountains to catch rabbits." After sitting in the room for a while, Luoluo, who couldn't stay still, said.

In this era, there were no kindergartens, nurseries and other institutions, except for a special placement site set up by Zhao Yuan to take care of children at the Baishishan Cement Workshop, and there were no such institutions in other places.

There is no saying that the elderly do not work in the countryside, so after the adults go to work in the field, they will also bring the children with them, and let them play by themselves if they can walk by themselves, and those who can't walk will be placed in the bamboo basket with cloth bags, and after going to the field, dig a pit on the edge of the work field, fix the back basket, and the child will play in the back basket.

"Okay, I'll try to catch a fat rabbit for you, Miss." After Guo Du saw Zhao Yuan nodding, he went to prepare the tools for catching rabbits.

"I want a white one, Uncle Guo Du will catch a white rabbit for me." Luoluo chased out and said expectantly.

"How can rabbits be so easy to catch, besides, it's still cold now, rabbits are in holes, it's good to be able to catch them, how can there be so many requirements." Zhao Yuan said funny.

"Uncle Guo Du can be caught, uncle, auntie, come out quickly." Luoluo urged.

Guo Du Shao Meng's family set off from their hometown to this side after the New Year, two days ago to Danling County, Zhao Yuan sent Shao Meng and a few people to pick up the family, Shao Meng and Xiaoqi's marriage, will also be determined after the arrival of Shao Meng's family, and now Guo Du is left with Zhao Yuan's family.

The five Shao Meng brothers have never been here with Zhao Yuan, and they can be said to be doing their best. The life of several families was originally very poor, or they would not let a few people be very high-risk martial artists, this time several families came to Danling, basically planning to settle here, for this reason, Zhao Yuan also made some special arrangements.

Seeing Guo Du and Luoluo's little girl walking outside the house first, Zhao Yuan took Meng Ying's little hand and smiled, got up and patted his clothes, closed the door, and followed out of the house.
