Chu Tianxiu flicked her sleeves and left the hall, but she was worried.

He thought about whether to go back to the Duan Hou Mansion and ask the old Duhou for a few thousand taels of silver to buy a paper workshop.

But the old dusk marquis refused to leave him at home to eat even a dinner, and he didn't look like a person who was willing to give up a few thousand taels of silver.

Zu'er saw Chu Tianxiu's sad face, pulled down her face and begged the second lady, but she didn't give it, and couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Uncle, or... Go and ask the county lord? She might be willing to come out! ”

"The county lord is rich?"

Chu Tianxiu was surprised.

"Yes!"

Zu'er nodded earnestly.

The county lord has been canonized by the imperial court, comparable to the marquis, and is very rich.

Chu Tianxiu thought about it, and only had a cheeky face to go to his wife to ask for this money.

Alas, he, a son-in-law who came to the door, seems to be unable to avoid the death of eating soft rice!

...

Yu Garden.

A dancing shadow, holding a two-foot sword, danced in the open snow of the courtyard, swimming like a frightening flood.

Li Yu is practicing the clan swordsmanship of the Li clan.

As a descendant of the Ping Wangfu, the family has been fighting on the battlefield for generations, and it is necessary to practice swords and cavalry archery, and the war strategy is even more familiar.

Chu Tianxiu came to Yu Garden and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Li Yu Miaoman's figure dancing in the snow.

Wait for her to stop.

Only then did he step forward, blushing a little and proposing that he wanted to buy a hemp paper workshop for a thousand taels of silver.

"Husband wants to buy workshop paper?"

Li Yumei's eyes were longing, she put away her sword, wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and said with a soft smile: "This is a good thing!" Pen, ink, calligraphy, inkstone, a must-have for literati.

The martial arts of our Pingwang Mansion are too prosperous, and the fire is too strong, so it is good to buy a papermaking workshop and add some cultural context to the house! ”

When she used to go to school in the private school of the royal palace, she used hemp paper to practice writing.

Hemp paper is much lighter than bulky bamboo, which is a good thing.

It's just that the cost of hemp paper is very high, and very few people can use it.

A huge Jinling City, only the families of the powerful and wealthy occasionally use it. Even most of the Confucian scholars and scribes from small and wealthy families could not afford to use hemp paper, let alone ordinary people.

The husband wants to buy a hemp paper workshop to make hemp paper, which is a serious thing to add to the royal atmosphere.

The only worry is that it is difficult to sell hemp paper, and it will inevitably lose money.

However, she had other considerations.

Even if you lose money by buying a workshop to make paper, it is not a bad thing.

The husband has nothing to do in the Pingwang Mansion, and a leisurely and idle little marquis wanders around, and it is inevitable that he will cause trouble everywhere.

It was not easy for him to recommend himself to the imperial court as an official.

She went to find Princess Xiang Ling yesterday, and the princess promised to say a few kind words in front of the emperor. But whether she can persuade the emperor is still unknown.

If the husband wants to make paper, it is much better than him doing nothing and going to Jinling City to make friends everywhere.

"I just don't have any money... The second lady doesn't give any money! ”

Chu Tianxiu scratched his head, helpless.

"Since the official account of the palace is not approved, then take the silver from my private account."

Li Yu smiled lightly.

A thousand taels of silver is really not much money for her, the county lord.

As the only daughter of King Ping, she receives one hundred taels of silver from the official account of King Ping's mansion every month, which is the private money she has since birth.

Accumulated over time, excluding expenses, I have accumulated nearly 10,000 taels of silver in 20 years.

It's just a small amount of her income.

In the bustling city of Jinling City over the years, she has successively set up more than a dozen shops, and there is some rent every month.

On top of that, she was canonized by the emperor at the age of ten as the lord of the county.

Her official title is "Danyang County Lord", and there is a fiefdom county belonging to her - Danyang County, with 300 hectares of private land and a total of 3,000 households.

Danyang County, a hundred miles upstream of the Jinling Imperial City, is the barrier of the Jinling Imperial City, the key to the river, and the strategic place of the army.

Placing her fief in Danyang shows how much the emperor and Empress Dowager Shen love her.

Although she, the county lord of Danyang, does not have the right to govern a county, the taxes of these 3,000 households do not need to be handed over to the imperial court, and they are all in her name.

There is a Ma'anshan Mountain in Danyang County, and a copper mine was also found on the mountain for her to mint copper coins.

I don't have the money to dig copper for casting.

Therefore, she, the county lord of Danyang, is very rich.

"I'm also going to build a bigger paper mill and hire more craftsmen and workers... In this way, the cost of paper can be reduced. ”

Chu Tianxiu hurriedly said.

"No problem. I am outside Jinling City, there is a wasteland of dozens of acres, which is just right to build a large workshop. and I will give you five thousand taels of silver to expand the workshop. You don't have any people under you, I'll ask Di'er to help you recruit people and build a workshop! ”

Li Yu said casually.

She thought about it quickly.

Building a new workshop is estimated to keep the husband busy for a long time, and not to cause trouble in Pingwangfu and Jinling City.

As time goes by, the husband will be able to gradually get rid of the habit of squandering and squandering.

Perhaps, the emperor and the people of the world will slowly forget how unruly the little dusk marquis used to be.

Five thousand taels of silver is still very cost-effective if you change your husband's habit of being a gentleman.

Chu Tianxiu was immediately overjoyed, "Great, I have already thought of a new papermaking technique that can greatly improve the process of hemp paper." But will these craftsmen leak my new technology? Is there a way to restrain these craftsmen? ”

"There are 3,000 households in my county, and I can eliminate some peasant households and add artisan households. All the craftsmen in the paper mill are included in my food and yi accounts, they are my food and they dare not reveal your papermaking skills. ”

Li Yu didn't think this was a problem, and said: "Also, husband, you don't need to go to the second lady for big and small things in the future, just tell me if you lack money, people, and land!" ”

Her husband of the county lord of Danyang, if she wants to go to the second lady for advice on everything, she is depressed when she thinks about it.

Chu Tianxiu was so moved that she was about to cry.

Yu'er's big financier is too strong.

He has money, people, and land.

He won't have to beg the second lady for that stinky woman in the future.

"Po~, thank you Yu'er lady! For the husband, I will make paper, and when it is made, let you enjoy a high-quality life first. ”

Chu Tianxiu leaned in and kissed Li Yu on the cheek.

He turned around and pulled Zu'er, called Di'er, and rushed to Jinling City to buy a hemp paper workshop.

Li Yu was kissed by him and was stunned for a moment.

When she reacted, her pink cheeks instantly flew into the sky, her heart was like a deer, she bit her red lips lightly, and stomped her feet angrily.

Hmph, this disciple, give him a few good colors, and kick his nose in the face. The two of them haven't chosen an auspicious day to hold a wedding ceremony, how can they be rude to her!
