Chapter 51: Surrounded by wolves

Cao Xiang, Yun Lang, and Dongfang Shuo studied hard in the Yun family for three days, and basically settled the reclamation of 60,000 acres of wasteland.

In fact, the matter is very simple, Yun Lang and Cao Xiang only need to determine what crops to plant on the wasteland in the coming year, and leave the rest of the things to Dongfang Shuo to do, and then lend Dongfang Shuo twenty stewards from the Yun family and the Cao family, and the big thing will be decided.

Grain, utensils, and housing are naturally handled by the county order of Fugui County, and there is no need for Yunlang and Cao Xiang to worry about it.

The whole thing went very smoothly, whether it was Yun Lang's proposal to pull the horse, or Cao Xiang's coal quota, they all got a good response, Fugui County Cheng Guo Xie has gone to Chang'an, received 1,400 wild people, it is estimated that ten days later, all the people will arrive, before their housing is settled, first placed in the warehouse of Fugui County.

After dealing with the wild people, Yun Lang and Cao Xiang began to send people around looking for craftsmen who could make paper.

The Han Dynasty's papermaking technique was still in its infancy, and the paper produced at this time was rough, covered with unground wood fibers, and the color was extremely ugly, called hemp paper, and its only function was to wrap things.

Yun Lang had tried to use him for other purposes, but it was very painful after going to the toilet...... And embarrassed.

I had to obediently continue to use the toilet chip, and the process of carrying a special toilet chip in my calf pocket all day long is innumerable.

There was no clue about finding a papermaking craftsman, but Da Changqiu, who came to visit the red sleeves, told Yun Lang the news very casually that the two Huangmen doctors in the Ganquan Palace were killed with a rod because they angered the queen mother.

Yun Lang felt chills in his heart when he heard the news, but he couldn't say anything, and it wasn't until Da Changqiu smiled and said that this matter was over, and Yun Lang was relieved.

When he turned around, he asked Granny Yao to take the armed servants of the family to Qinling to collect medicine, and Song Qiao took the place of Granny Yao in the medical hall during this period of time.

There are always dead people in Chang'an City, and there are always dead people in Yanglingyi, most of these dead people are related to the royal family, and no one wants to think about why they died.

When some people die, more people want to be able to take the place of the dead, so the more people who die, the happier everyone is.

It's a sick reaction, but it's happening.

The emperor is the highest level of murderer, and if the emperor always does not kill, in the eyes of the people, there will be less majesty and less mystery.

Seeing that Granny Yao walked into Qinling safely, Yun Lang began to reflect on his mentally retarded behavior.

This should be a guideline when dealing with matters related to the royal family in the future.

A long time ago he was just a civilian, and he didn't know how the high-minded people handled the crisis.

Always have some naïve thoughts, thinking that they will also settle things and laugh at some things.

The result is not like this, people who hold the power of life and death care more about themselves, and for their own sake, other people's lives are actually nothing.

Whenever something happens that needs to be kept secret, their choice is always extremely crude and simple.

Yun Lang hopes that Granny Yao will not come for the time being, since everyone says that the Queen Mother's life is short, then wait until the Queen Mother dies and come back, at that time, Granny Medicine can be regarded as truly safe.

It always snows in Lishan, one after another, which is a good thing for the farmers, and there will be a good harvest next year.

This is also good news for people who carry carbon, after all, when it snows, the weather is cold, and coal can be bought at a good price.

However, this was not good news for the boatmen at the Yun Clan's gate, because the Weishui water flows slowly on the plains and freezes easily.

After the winter, whether it is the Changmen Palace or the Yun family's output has decreased, the chickens do not lay eggs much, at this time it is necessary to dispose of a lot of old hens, and the green vegetables in the winter, because of the snow, do not grow well, the yield is scarce, not to mention, the appearance is not good-looking.

This made life difficult for the boatmen and the porters who depended on the docks for their livelihood.

The flat-bottomed boats were all towed ashore, and the boatmen leaned against the grass huts and gossiped around a campfire, but their eyes drifted to the road from time to time.

They really hoped that the Yun clan or the steward of the Nagato Palace would suddenly appear on this road, shouting loudly for their group of slackers to start working.

It's a pity that in the season when the snowflakes are flying, the Yun family and the stewards of the Changmen Palace don't like to go out, so they don't have any work for them to do.

Only a few donkey carts were driven by the women along the road, and the rough men laughed loudly at each donkey cart that passed.

The woman just took a sip, or laughed and scolded, and continued to go home or walk towards Yanglingyi.

A black-toothed man looked at the donkey cart enviously, smashed his mouth and said: "All of them are oily and slippery, and it's a treasure to get back the warm quilt." ”

The boat boss took a sip of wine and scolded with a smile: "Even if you are dressed in black skin, you also want the servants of the Yun family to warm your bed, and you will live in the next life." ”

The black-toothed man said regretfully: "The Yun family doesn't accept servants, otherwise it would be a good way to sell yourself to his house."

What do you mean by saying that this Yun clan only needs servants? Even if they have cubs, you see those desperate women, as long as they enter the gate of the Yun clan, they will not come out. ”

Another older man smiled and said: "You don't look at what kind of industry the Yun family is, silkworms, silk reeling, silk spinning, brocade weaving, picking medicine, medicine, raising chickens, which of these jobs is not capable of women, why do so many men do."

Although there are still some workshops, but people like you and me, who have nothing but strength, don't want the big shopkeepers, they are all promoted from the apprentices.

Those women took the cubs in, and heard that the cubs would soon enter the Yun family's school, and only after reading and hyphenating would they be sent out to learn the craft, and after a few years, they would be men who could stand up for the door. ”

The boat boss proudly pointed to his big ship and said: "That's right, you see, Yeye's big ship is made by the Yun family's workshop, the ship is light, but it carries a lot of goods, although it can't be compared with the river boat, as far as our Weishui is concerned, Yeye's boat is also the number one." ”

"The Weishui is frozen, and your boat has a big bird."

There are those who can't stand it, and they begin to squeeze out this stingy boat boss who drinks and doesn't give others to drink.

When a group of people were coaxing, they suddenly saw a long carriage of goods and goods coming out of the Yun family, the boat boss was sharp-eyed, the first to see it, fiercely pushed away everyone, and took the lead in standing on the edge of the Yun family's territory, looking forward to Liang Weng sitting on the wheel of the carriage.

The Yun family's carriages all entered the grass shed, and Liang Weng sat on a chair under the service of the servants, took a sip of hot tea, and beckoned to the boat boss who had been bending over.

Only then did the boat boss cautiously step over the stone ridge that distinguished the boundary and came to Liang Weng and arched his hand: "Does the old courtyard have something good to order the little one?" ”

Liang Weng pointed to the carriageway behind him: "Seventy boxes of eggs, one hundred and sixty cages of live chickens, forty-eight cages of ducks, sixteen cages of geese, six hundred catties of vegetables, and three thousand catties of grain, all of which were transported to Chang'an." ”

The boss of the boat said with a smiling face: "You have also seen it, this Weishui is half sealed, and it will take two days to transport it to Chang'an." ”

Liang Weng nodded and said: "This is the last batch of goods transported by water in this winter, leave early, you don't have to suffer here." ”

The boss of the boat arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the old man's compassion for the miserable people, I don't care if I wait a little longer, as long as I have work to do, I am afraid that the river will freeze and delay the affairs of the family." ”

Liang Weng stood up and pointed to the goods behind him to the old ship: "Then push the boat down the river and load all the goods." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to the Yun family's steward: "The salary is given thickly, and the cold weather drives people to work, but you can't call people as animals." ”

The steward hurriedly agreed.

Liang Weng tightened his coat and got back into the carriage back to the Yun family.

The dock, which had just been deserted, began to get busy again with the shout of the boat boss.

Yun Lang sat in the yard watching the snow with the tiger, and when he saw Liang Weng coming back, he asked, "Didn't you make a show?" ”

Liang Weng bowed down and said, "No, Ping Sha left with the boat." ”

Yun Lang sighed and said, "What kind of world is this, if you want to do something, you have to be sneaky." ”

Liang Weng looked around and whispered, "It's unreasonable that there are so many people on the dock in winter.

The old man of the boat was also bold and strong, and dared to sail on the river full of ice, and at first glance he was not a serious person. ”

"Everybody's all staring at our house, just to see what I'm going to do, and although the papermaking thing is secret, there are still people who know about it.

Therefore, our family still has to work hard to recruit craftsmen, so that those people think that we can only rely on craftsmen to make paper. ”

Liang Weng spat fiercely and said: "It's all a group of pickled goods, and they don't have the ability to make good paper, so they have to steal my family's secret recipe." ”

Yun Lang waved his hand and smiled: "It is always unavoidable, and it cannot be avoided at any time." ”
