"Lang Jun, there are guests who pay their respects!"

Zuo Yan's voice sounded outside the door, and Xu You asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Signature on the post: Late born Zhang Tong!"

Xu You walked out and took the post, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect him to be the first to come to the door!" Zhang Xiuyong has a temperament, and even said it in his later life, which makes people laugh. Please! ”

After Zhang Tong, there were scholars who came to visit one after another, most of them were the gate valve families who participated in the elegant gathering, and the traffic in front of the Jingyuan was busy, and the slaves of each family gathered like a tide, and dispersed like a tide. For four or five days, Xu You was busy entertaining guests, talking, composing poems, and essays every day, and it was almost impossible to get along. It is also these days, in the suburbs of the gold workshop ushered in a blowout, from time to time people come to consult by the big paper, some are for their own use, some are ready to give gifts, and some are to see the strange, after all, the big paper that can make Wu Jun Taishou Gu Yun praise in person, buy a few back can be a little literary!

After all, the merchant is lowly and contaminated with the identity of the businessman, and it will inevitably be difficult to walk in Shilin in the future. So all the affairs are handed over to He Wei to take care of, and become the owner on the surface, although his temper is arrogant, but in order to achieve the real goal, he can hide his true nature and become another person.

A perfect businessman!

In just five days, more than 30,000 pieces were sold by Croda Paper, and if it weren't for the lack of production capacity, 100,000 sheets would not be a problem. Many people didn't grab it, and they also placed orders, even if they started non-stop, they couldn't meet the demand until after the year. Fang Kang asked Xu You, and opened three production lines, nine of the fifteen people have become skilled workers, can cooperate with Fang Kang to make good paper, in layman's terms, the yield rate is controlled at more than 90%, which can be called a miracle in the era of handicrafts!

By Croda paper, different from the regulation of paper in the past, and even more different from the quality of paper in the past, it is a revolutionary impact on the calligraphy and painting industry of the entire Chu State, and the supply is insufficient in the early stage, and the price will naturally rise. He Wei was darker than Xu You, and set a hundred yuan per piece of paper, ten times that of ordinary paper, and five times that of Yanxi paper, but because of this, he was sought after by those who were not bad at money, and 33,000 pieces of paper were swept away in five days, and 3.3 million yuan was fully paid.

Lu Shuang is now in charge of the accounts, and when he saw the number reported by He Wei, he was stunned for a long time. Since Xu You bought Jingyuan, and let the winter solstice start to collect intelligence, plus the food, clothing, housing and transportation of people on weekdays, there has always been only expenditure, no input, and every penny has to be carefully calculated and spent. I was used to the days of buckle ropes, and suddenly became rich, and I couldn't adapt to it for a while.

"It's just a small amount of money!" He Wei was in business, and he had a bit of a giant's bearing, and said: "The current backlog of orders in Sajinfang is 80,000, and if it weren't for the lack of manpower, there would still be millions of dollars in the accounts before the year." ”

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and this sentence is valid in any era. In the era when papermaking and printing are not developed enough, paper books are a profiteering industry, but limited to raw materials and technical problems, the output has never been able to go up, so this industry is certainly profitable, but the daily progress is just a dream, it is impossible to realize. After Xu You's technical transformation, the gold workshop produces thousands of pieces per day, and it is a unique large paper, plus the previous inventory, which has the myth of getting rich in five days and three million!

"You He paper to use black rattan, from the He Mountain there are a lot of black vines, but there will be a day when the harvest will be finished. You can tell Fang Kang to find another rattan skin such as chicken blood vine, southern snake vine, green vine to make paper, the quality should be similar to the black vine, it really doesn't work, you can also buy some wisteria from Yanxi, no one stipulates that the wisteria used in Yanxi paper can't be used to make Yuhe paper, isn't it? ”

The problem of raw materials is one of the main factors that plagued the large-scale development of the paper industry in ancient times, but scarcity is expensive, and it is for this reason that those famous papers that have been passed down through the ages can be sold at a high price. Xu You has to rely on He Paper to complete the accumulation of the first pot of gold, but he can't rely on He Paper to complete that grand dream.

To change a nation, we must first change our thinking and change people's thinking, and we must first popularize the literacy rate, and to popularize the literacy rate, we must first reduce the price of paper and books to a point where everyone can afford it, and we must also take into account the practicality of quality and long-term storage.

Yanxi paper and Yuhe paper can't take on this responsibility, so Xu You needs to develop bamboo paper!

However, the bamboo paper is not in a hurry in advance, after all, there is a shortage of manpower, the space is also insufficient, and it is already very difficult to cope with the order of the paper, and then open another bamboo paper production line, a bit too hasty.

"Frost, first allocate 500,000 yuan to the winter solstice."

Dong Solstice was so excited that he almost jumped up, Xu You looked solemn, and said: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, give you three months, I want to see an intelligence agency that can cover the three counties of Qiantang, Xiling, and Yongxing, and within seven months, the tentacles of the intelligence agency can be extended to Fuyang, Shangyu, Shanyin, Zhuji, Yuyao and other places." A year from now, I hope that whatever happens in Wu County in the morning can reach my ears in the evening. This matter is very important, can you do it on the winter solstice? ”

The winter solstice knelt on his knees, and the words were like cones into the wood, and said: "If there is a negative Xiaolang's expectations, the servant is willing to apologize with death!" ”

"Good!" Xu You is proficient in the art of controlling people, and if he puts some pressure appropriately, even if the final result is not as expected, he can fully mobilize his subjective initiative and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

He turned to He Wei and said, "What's going on over there Liu Yan?" ”

"Since the ugly incident of making Buddha in Jingqiu on Yaji was exposed, Lu Hui himself could not be protected, and he did not dare to make a name for Liu Yan's Jubao Zhai. Most of the 20,000 pieces of paper supplied by him went into Lu Hui's private pocket, and did not form a momentum among the scholars, and was robbed of the limelight by He Da paper...... Ha, I'm scolding my mother in the house! ”

"He scolded his mother, we do our thing. Let the cangs keep an eye on Yan Cheng, the paper medicine of the big paper must not be circulated at the moment, and the gold shop has to rely on the big paper to make money. As for the movable curtain bed, it can be imitated by the connoisseurs, there is no value of confidentiality, and after the New Year, you come forward to call the paper mills in the surrounding counties to visit, teach them the process, and each family charges a fee of 100,000 yuan. ”

If you want to promote the development of the entire industry, Xu You doesn't mind transferring some advanced technologies to quickly cultivate the market. Anyway, he still has a lot of hole cards in his hand, and he is not afraid that he will teach his apprentice and starve the master to death!

While he was talking, Li Mu came to report, and Zhuji Zhang Mo visited. Xu You said with a smile: "I've seen dozens of people in the past few days, but in fact, the only one I really want to see is this five-colored dragon luan, but I didn't expect to come today." ”

Xu You greeted the gate, Zhang Mo was dressed in a cloth robe, with a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Weizhi, don't come unharmed!" ”

"Don't doubt brother, why is it late?"

"In front of Jingyuan, the carriage is endless. I have fellowship with the little confidant, and I don't have to fight for a while! ”

"It's me who lost my word!" Xu You turned to the side and said, "Please!" ”

Entering the room, Zhang Mo praised: "In the past few days, it has spread outside, saying that there is a hole in the Jingyuan, which is really interesting in the round forest, and it is the elegance of the elegance." Just along the way, the mountains, water, stones, pavilions, corridors, all beautiful, original, micro enjoyment of good fortune! ”

"I don't dare to take credit, when I bought the house, it was already like this, and nothing has changed. Even if it is elegant, it is the former owner who is elegant, and I have nothing to do with it. ”

"Former master?"

"Yes, it's a businessman, and I've settled in Guangzhou!"

"A businessman can have this taste, which shows that self-cultivation and literary talent have nothing to do with the noble or low!"

Xu You smiled and said nothing, Zhang Mo is not here to visit friends, his purpose is not clear, so there are some things that cannot be said. Zhang Mo said a few words tentatively, and seeing that Xu You did not accept the offer, he simply said bluntly, "Weizhi was originally a gate valve in Wuzhong, and now he has been demoted to Qiantang and has become a commoner, but he is resentful and dissatisfied?" ”

"Don't dare! Thunder, rain and dew, all are the grace of the king, rich and noble, it is the grace of the Lord, poor and cheap, it is also the grace of the Lord, as a courtier, only know that he obeys his orders, and he does not dare to be resentful and dissatisfied! ”

Zhang Mo suddenly laughed and said, "Weizhi, I'm not the yellow-eared dog of Sili Mansion, you don't have to be so careful." I promise you, what you say today will go out of your mouth and into my ears, and no third person will know! ”

"The sky has eyes, the earth has ears, how can no third person know?" Xu You remained vigilant and said, "What does Brother Don't doubt what he wants to say, so mysterious?" ”

Zhang Mo hesitated and said, "That day, outside the city of Wu County, I met by chance on the river, and I once heard a Lang Jun recite a poem......

"Oh?"

"The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng is sleeping. Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship! Zhang Mo chanted the verses while looking at Xu You's expression attentively.

Xu You showed just the right amount of surprise and said, "Good poem, do you know who made it?" ”

Zhang Mo didn't see the flaw on Xu You's face, and said, "I don't know! But the song "After the Rain on Qiantang Lake", which is sung in Yangzhou, is in the same vein as this poem of "Sleep", the rhyme and rhythm are very similar, and I conclude that it was written by the same person! ”

"After the rain in Qiantang Lake? But the song 'I want to compare West Lake to Xizi'? ”

"Exactly!"

Xu You pondered for a moment and said: "No doubt, don't blame me for speaking bluntly, the timing of the appearance of "After the Rain in Qiantang Lake" is too ingenious, it is the time when the White Snake is a metaphor for the Heavenly Master, no matter who does it, his heart may not be pure, or don't get into trouble!" ”

"Weizhi, it turns out that this is what you are worried about! You can rest assured, I have no contact with the Heavenly Master, and Du Jingzhi's evil deeds are indignant to people and gods, even if he really has ulterior motives, and it is also to eliminate harm for the people, I admire it in my heart, and I will never say it! ”

Xu You frowned and said, "Don't doubt the meaning of the words, it seems to be related to me?" ”

Zhang Mo's eyes shone brightly, as if the first day had broken through the night, and said: "Weizhi, don't hide it from me, on the Wuxian River that night, did I meet you?" ”
