Chapter 50: The Wheels Are Rolling
Time passed quickly, and three days had passed since the day when Qi Yifan came to Lu Ye to ask for advice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The weather in Xudu City is also gradually getting colder at this time, and it is estimated that it will snow after a while. In the past few days, there has been some unquiet in the West City, and in this case, a gloomy atmosphere seems to be pressed on the head of the capital city.
Lu Ye occasionally went to the street these days, and he could always see people with injuries walking in the streets and alleys.
Their mouths are often full of similar things.
"You dog thieves! Dare to ambush your grandfather? ”
"Who's afraid you won't? If you can't do it, you will die! ”
"From this day forward, you and I are mortal enemies!"
"Come on, there is a kind of one-on-one with labor and management!"
……
Such fights and fights always appear in front of Lu Ye's eyes repeatedly. Things are like this, Lu Yeruo doesn't know what's going on yet, and it's not his style.
Until today, Cao Zhen came to find Lu Ye and said: "The workshops that you told you about that day have now been contacted. There are ready-made things and houses, do you think when we will go over and have a look? ”
"It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, so let's do it today!"
"Okay!"
Lu Ye took Minister Lu with him, and the three of them went out of Yulong Tower, got into the carriage that Cao Zhen was sitting in, and drove to the side.
The first selected workshop address is in the West Side, which is not very far.
The Cao family's carriage didn't look like anything from the outside, but when they entered the carriage, they could see the power of the Cao family. All kinds of embellishments, Shu embroidery for curtains, sandalwood into a furnace. Such luxurious items are simply not something that ordinary people can afford.
Lu Ye lifted the curtain on one side, and just saw that the two of them were fighting not far away at this time, shouting something. It's far away, but it's hard to hear.
After all, it's late October, and the weather is getting colder, and the wind can be heard whirring between the cold winds.
Seeing this, Minister Lu on the side couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, what happened then?" ”
When Lu Ye heard this, although he had some thoughts in his heart, he hadn't verified it yet, so he didn't plan to say it to Minister Lu.
On the contrary, it was Cao Zhen, who poked his head out at this time, was also a little confused, and asked: "Hey, it seems that I can always see people fighting in the street these days...... what is the situation?" ”
Cao Zhen didn't know what he knew about the cause and effect. So it's hard to think of for a while.
Lu Ye felt that at this time, maybe it was Qi Yifan who had already found out those things, so he completely tore his face with the Donghe Gang, and the two sides would have such a big fight.
Lu Ye felt a little strange again: "This kind of street fight, does the government don't care?" ”
Cao Zhen said: "How can the government have so much energy to take care of these things. Don't underestimate these ninth-rate guys, these people have been in the market all year round, and they don't work much worse than us for some things. And behind almost every ruffian hooligan there is a bigger ruffian hooligan, and behind the bigger ruffian hooligan, the one standing may be the royal nobles of that family. Under such circumstances, how could the government touch their mold? ”
Cao Zhen saw these things more thoroughly than Lu Ye.
Lu Ye also nodded slightly, indeed, such things like collusion between officials and businessmen are not new even in the later generations.
"And the leaders of those gangs are all registered in the government. On ordinary days, as long as they don't do too much, the government won't make things too difficult for them. But in the past few days, such vicious incidents seem to have happened not uncommon....... Cao Zhen said in a low voice.
Lu Ye said: "After all, this matter is not too big of a fuss now, it's just a wrestling and chasing between the two parties." For the majority of the common people, there is no very bad effect. ”
If it affects the country's governance and public security, the government will inevitably come forward at that time, and some things will become more difficult to solve.
"This kind of fight is actually a common thing, when the Son of Heaven just set the capital of Xu, there were people fighting almost every day."
"In fact, it's nothing more than the word ...... profit."
"In the end, it was suppressed by the government, and it has been ...... since then."
Cao Zhen still knows more clearly about what happened after the relocation of the capital, and at this time he seems to be a chattering guy, who has been talking something in the ears of Lu Ye and Minister Lu. It's like a little bee that is buzzing non-stop.
Lu Ye could listen to it vigorously, but Minister Lu felt a little irritable.
Fortunately, the distance was not too far, and the few people quickly arrived at the first workshop to see.
For a paper mill, there are many things to consider.
Lighting conditions, water source conditions, whether transportation is convenient, and drainage is convenient. These things are to be taken into account.
And the first workshop, Lu Ye directly vetoed it without a few glances.
For no other reason, the location of this workshop is too poor. Around this workshop, there are some two-story or even three-story shops, which hide the sunlight from the sun. Moreover, there is only one well in the workshop, and the water source is not convenient at all.
Relying on the two rivers of Qingni and Qingyu, do you actually need to use well water?
Therefore, this workshop is naturally not in Lu Ye's consideration.
Then he got into the carriage again, and the wheels rolled. Gallop towards the other two selected locations.
……
In the end, Lu Ye and Cao Zhen discussed and finalized the final result, which was in a manor outside the city. Not far from Zhuangzi is the Qingyu River with spring water to the east, and it is extremely convenient to call the water source. Moreover, it is not in the city, and there are no other buildings around, so if someone wants to try this paper-making technology in the future, it will be easier to discover.
Of course, Cao Zhen has no opinion.
Lu Ye stood at the door of this manor and nodded with a smile: "It's decided that it's him!" ”
The final word is that the site of the first paper workshop is this manor!
For Lu Ye, finalizing the address of the workshop is a thing in his heart. Now we just need to wait for all those craftsmen to be in place, and then study a more high-end papermaking process, and at that time, money will inevitably roll in.
Well, and typography...... If this thing can be made, it will also be a big killer!
Thinking of this, Lu Ye himself felt a little excited.
