"Stone paper" is the name of the paper sold by the Lin family after leaving Jinling City and even Yangzhou. Of course, there was no such title before, although the quality of the Lin family's paper is good, it is not much different from other people's paper. It was only after Shi Yuan established the "Lin's Stationery Factory" in Jinling, under the guidance of Nangong Rong, and the improvement of Shi Yuan's technology, the papermaking technology and output were greatly improved, so that it had this title.

Originally, according to Shi Yuan's plan at that time, he rushed to the Jiangnan Poetry Society, took out the paper and made an appearance, and finally produced it in batches, which greatly lowered the price of the paper and benefited the world's scholars and even the people...... But I never expected that the Qinglian Sect incident happened, and this matter was put on hold. There is a shortage of "stone paper" in various places, and the price is even higher, and the price of this "stone paper" is higher than that of gold......

"In this way, this Shi Yuan originally did a good deed, but he was confused by this Qinglian Sect? It's a pity, I was in Chongzhou City before, and I had seen the "stone paper" from a distance, and it was indeed beautiful. Although my old man can't read a single big character, he can still see good things. After listening to Shi Yuan's explanation, Old Man Kong knew what was going on. This is very emotional, maybe he can't use paper, but when he encounters this kind of thing, he always has some regrets in his heart. But I also feel the people in this world and the changes in this war-torn year.

"Exactly. If the world is peaceful in the future, I will definitely send this paper to Kong Bo and you will be in the car! "Regardless of the identity of the other party or for what purpose, in this time of war, some people appreciate the paper they have made. In this way, it is already very gratifying.

"Haha...... What do I want this for? If you have this opportunity in the future, you might as well send me two carts of food. Hearing Shi Yuan say this, Old Man Kong replied with a laugh......

Out of the village, the two soon came to the pipeline. It is said that it is separated by a river, with Beiqing on one side and Nanqing on the other, but in fact there is not much difference. Walking on the pipeline here, but it is not much different from walking on the road between Yangzhou and Jinling. It is also very few, like a yellow spring.

In the middle of summer, the sun is scorching. At this time, it was noon, and the sound of cicadas in the forest on both sides, coupled with the sound of the squeaky and squeaky donkey cart, made people feel even more bored. Shi Yuan touched the sweat between his necks and forehead, and then stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips...... At this time, I am very glad that I have made my choice, thanks to this donkey cart, it is slower, but it is much better than walking under this scorching sun.

"Don't take off your clothes. When you are exposed to this sun, you have to shed a layer of skin! "It's really a little hot and unbearable, Shi Yuan was about to take off his clothes, go shirtless, and try to cool off, but Old Man Kong stopped him.

In fact, Old Man Kong felt that he was born rich and noble, with fine skin and tender meat, so he couldn't stand the scorching sun. But in fact, after staying in the mountains for more than half a month, Shi had already lost a layer of skin, and there was nothing to be shirtless at this time.

And Shi Yuan understood in his heart, in order to avoid explaining to him again, he nodded, just unbuttoned the placket, and pulled the open placket, flashing, and the faint cool breeze disappeared in a blink of an eye......

"Here's for you." Seeing this, Old Man Kong untied the package he had brought, and took out a green apricot. Just looking at it makes people feel sour.

Shi Yuan smiled, but he didn't think much about it, he took it and rubbed it on his clothes, which was thrown into his mouth...... And the next moment, he narrowed his eyes and wrote the word "sour" on his face.

"Haha......" Old man Kong looked at him like this, but he smiled heartily again, "Don't say it, if it weren't for what you kid said personally, I really wouldn't have thought that you were from a family of eunuchs." What does this apricot taste like? ”

Although it was very sour, after biting the green apricot in his mouth, saliva gushed out, and the feeling of irritability was indeed much lighter...... Slightly accustomed to the sourness brought by the green apricot in his mouth, chewed and swallowed, and spit out the core in his mouth, then nodded, "It's very sour." With that, he squinted his eyes again and shivered.

Old man Kong smiled happily, then took out another one and put it in his mouth...... Compared to Shi Yuan, he is obviously much more experienced, but with such a sour green apricot in his mouth, he didn't speak for a long time......

The geographical location of Chongzhou City and Yangzhou is very similar, if there is no war in peacetime, it is an important hub of trade between the north and the south, and if there is a war, it has become a military point to prevent the south of the Yangtze River. However, judging from the history of Daqing and even before Daqing, compared with Yangzhou, Chongzhou City is mostly used as a reserve for grain and grass.

Whether it was the Great Zhou before Daqing or the period of war before the Great Zhou, no southern army went north by boat to attack Jiangbei, and it was the northern army that crossed the river and went south to attack the south of the Yangtze River...... However, there have not been a few such battles between the north and the south in history.

After swaying for a long time, seeing that it was almost afternoon, Shi Yuan finally saw the outline of Chongzhou City in the distance. What is a little strange is that even if he walked here, he still did not see any Beiqing officers and soldiers, let alone a pedestrian.

"Chongzhou City is ahead." Seeing that the outline of Chongzhou City in the distance was becoming clearer and clearer, Old Man Kong parked the donkey cart next to him. Turning around, he looked at Shi Yuan, "I haven't been to the city since the army crossed the river, and I don't know if I can go in now." ”

If this Chongzhou City is really the storage place for the grain and grass reserve of the Beiqing army, it will definitely be difficult to enter. And even if they go in, they won't be able to get out...... At the very least, it is impossible to get out of the south gate.

Chongzhou City is surrounded by mountains, and it is on the official road leading to the Central Plains in the north, Shi Yuan actually didn't think about entering the city, he just wanted to explore the environment around Chongzhou City, so that after everyone crossed the shore, they could be prepared.

"Let's go! Let's see if we can go into town. Old man Kong got out of the car and urinated on the side of the road, then sat back in the car, shook the reins in his hand, and prepared to move forward.

At this time, there was still some distance from Chongzhou City, but he could see the outline clearly, so Shi Yuan did not stop him. It's good to go further, just to see the specific situation in Chongzhou.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance! Shi Yuan and Old Man Kong glanced at each other, and a trace of nervousness flashed through them...... At this time, this kind of place, needless to say, this must be Beiqing's army!

"Don't talk later, pretend to be dumb!" The donkey cart that had just started stopped again, and Old Man Kong commanded Shi Yuan with a serious face.
