Wang An sent away the second year of Jianping in a mess and ushered in the third year of Jianping. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In the first month of the info, the official document of the imperial court said that Prime Minister Ping passed away, Wang Jia took over as prime minister, and the marquis of Xinfu was sealed, and the country was also in Xinye County. After the first month, the empress's father Fu Yan resigned from the post of Great Sima, and the emperor appointed his uncle Ding Ming as the Great Sima. The prime minister of the head of the outer dynasty and the great Sima of the head of the inner dynasty have been replaced again.

The affairs of the imperial court were too far away from Wang An, and soon, the Tingwei Mansion issued a document to Xinye County, and the first six evil people in the group of rangers were sent to Youzhou, and the rest were sent to Dunhuang. Yin Facao informed Wang An of the news, and Wang An felt that the six people might also want to get rid of the control of others. But when he thought of being teased that night, and he didn't plan to win over these people, he only sent Tian Dalang to see them, practice for them, and tell them that Wangjiazhuang would take care of their families, and they could join the army with peace of mind.

Wang An's crown ceremony was held on February 2, and only a few people attended. Because it ranks third, so the word uncle and grandson. The Marquis of Chengdu sent two horses to Wang An as a congratulatory gift, and after that, Mr. Cui began to teach Wang An horseback riding and swordsmanship.

With the thawing of the land in the spring, various projects are also in full swing, building houses, preparing fields, digging ditches, and digging ponds. Spending money every day is like running water, according to the estimation of the eldest girl, even if everything goes well, Wang An's money can only support until May. Even with the money from Shen Tuchen and Li Tong's stake in the paper mill, it could only be supported until July. It was also at this time that Wang An learned that Li Tong and Shen Tuchen were half-siblings.

"Why don't you stop the free meals that the kids are in for a while?" The big girl proposed.

"I can't." Wang An shook his head, "If the free meal is stopped, I'm afraid that all the work will be wasted." Mr. Cui has relented, as long as he can make a sample, Qinghe Cui will take a stake in the paper workshop. I guess I'll be able to make the first batch of paper in July. What's more, these children are supervised and taught, and their parents can work with peace of mind, and the progress is faster. I also hope that these little ones will be grateful to me and will be of use to me in the future. ”

At this time, Tian Dalang came in and said, "Lang Jun, the pig killer you are looking for has arrived." Wang An remembered that Wang Mang seemed to die at the hands of the butcher in the end. The pig killer in front of him was really oily, and Wang An asked, "Has this master ever castrated a pig?" ”

The master opened his mouth and said, "I only know how to kill pigs and sell meat." "The sound is loud and different.

Wang An pointed to a little pig and said, "Just cut off the lump between its hind legs, can it work?" ”

The master gestured and said loudly: "It's easier than killing a pig." As he spoke, he bent down, took out a dagger from the leggings, and gave Wang An a look, "This is specially built by me for five hundred yuan, and it is expensive." ”

"You finished castrating the pig today, and the five hundred wen will be earned back."

As a result, when the pig was castrated, there were many people around to see the excitement, and then all kinds of rumors circulated in Xinye County, such as "Wang An moved the palace punishment to the Zhuang household." "Wang An likes to torture pigs." So much so that Yin Facao had to bring people over to investigate, which made the people angry.

When Wang An tortured the pigs, Deng Chen and several of his younger brothers were talking about Wang An. One person said: "Second brother, since Wang Mang's stupid son took charge of Wangjiazhuang......"

Deng Chen glanced at him: "Pay attention to your identity, if Wang An hears this, he deserves to kill you." Again. ”

This person bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and said: "Wang An is in charge of Wangjiazhuang, first of all, he will attack the rangers who have taken refuge in us, and the other wealthy families have swallowed their anger when they see our Deng family, and they have also followed the example, and they have cleaned up the rangers in their Zhuangzi and controlled the homeless. Please also ask my brother to have an idea. ”

Deng Chen pondered for a while before he said: "A few days ago, the adults of our family wrote to say that Your Majesty felt that there have been continuous troubles in the past few years and want to open a department. At present, he is in contact with some Taishou and Duwei, preparing to recommend each other's sons and nephews to take the exam, and the recommendation of the princes and kings is also indispensable, the Liu family has declined, but it is also after the clan, so the money that should be given still has to be given. As long as someone in the family continues to be an official, the money spent will eventually come back. If you lose your official status, no matter how much money you earn, you won't be able to keep it at home," Deng Chen drank some water, "For example, Li Shou and Li Tong of Wanxian County and his son." Both father and son were businessmen and had to find someone to shelter. Most of the money earned is given to others. But because of Shen Tu'an's relationship, he caught up with the new marquis. Looking at the Li family today, Li Shou has been accepted as a disciple by Zhuojun Taishou, and Li Tong is busy with Wang An. Didn't Li Tong take a few hundred dollars a few days ago and invest it in Wang An's paper workshop? Look at it," Deng Chen took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, "This kind of paper is inconvenient to write, and it is not easy to preserve, Confucian scholars think that the paper is not commensurate with the status, most of them are not used, and only those who are shy in their pockets buy it." Didn't Li Tong give money to Wang An for nothing? Isn't he trying to have an official position in the future? Therefore, the Liu family's money should not only be given, but also given more. ”

Deng Chen stopped and took a breath, he had just said too much. He looked at his younger brothers: "Is there any news from Steward Deng?" ”

Several younger brothers shook their heads, and one of them said: "Wang An doesn't trust Steward Deng, Steward Deng was sent to take care of those little babies, and gave Wang An's maidservant a hand, banging on the gong and shouting for class every day, and then counting the number of people to see which baby didn't come." Now Wangjiazhuang is run by a man named Du Shi, Wang An trusts him, and Wang An himself manages the paper workshop. ”

Deng Chen nodded: "I won't trust a person who eats inside and out." Wang An didn't want his life, and he had already done his best. I suspect that Wang An is still staring at him, and don't contact him during this time. One more thing, can we send someone into the paper workshop? ”

"No, Wang An stipulates that those who go to the paper workshop must have a guarantor, and the family must live in Wangjiazhuang."

At this time, a man with a splint in his left hand said: "Second brother, why do you always think about Wangjiazhuang?" Wang An made paper to sell it to make money, not to eat it himself. Since he wants to sell it, we will help to publicize how good and cheap his paper is, and to whet the appetite of the scholars. As long as Wang An's paper is not in good condition, or it is sold expensively, it will attract scolding.

"Where does the seventh brother think is the most suitable?"

"Chang'an!"

Wang An worked hard in the paper workshop every day, buying raw materials, building places, manufacturing utensils, and demonstrating hands-on. Unbeknownst to him, someone had helped him spread his reputation to Chang'an, until one day after returning home, he was recruited by Wang Mang to the study and asked him very seriously: "Can you really make paper?" In good condition? Is the price still cheap? ”

Wang An really wanted to say loudly: "How do I know, how do I know if it's good or bad?" ”
