Chapter 145: It's all down
For Chen Sheng's occasional whimsy, it often costs a lot of money. If ordinary people can't afford such an expense. Fortunately, there is the huge financial owner of the Ling family behind him, so that Chen Sheng has the ability to burn money to his heart's content. For this reason, Chen Sheng is also very grateful to Ling Suyun. But he also knows that the little girl asks for more than just a monetary return on his investment. but also his people and heart.
Chen Sheng's shares in this paper factory were divided into three parts, the imperial court went out of the mountains and forests, and invested in resources, accounting for 30%, and the income was summarized in the financial revenue and expenditure of Fujian County, and Chen Sheng invested in technology and also accounted for 30%, and finally 40% was summarized to Ling Suyun - not the Ling family. Although the investment is in the name of the Ling family. But Chen Sheng knew that the Ling family had a lot of side branches, and Ling Suyun did not have many family resources under his control, and when he needed huge resources, he had to get the approval of the patriarch Ba Qing. That's why Chen Sheng saved such a careful thought, and excluded the Ling family from this paper mill that didn't require too much start-up capital but was amazingly profitable. It is also not a good thing that a family controls most of the economic lifeline of Fujian. Chen Sheng had to plan for the long-term future of himself and Minzhong County.
"Making paper is actually similar to weaving, it's much simpler." Chen Sheng arrived at the place where the craftsmen lived, and under the sittings of the craftsmen, he talked eloquently: "Cut the ingredients and mash them, soak them in lime water for three or two days, and then steam them in a large pot for twelve hours." After the fibers are completely softened, the lime and impurities are washed off, chopped with a guillotine, and then pressed into a loose shape with a tool, and then put into a stone jar and pounded with stone tools...... Finally, it is put into a stone trough to make a uniform pulp...... "Chen Sheng is clear about the process of papermaking, but he has never operated it. He is also talking on paper, explaining these general processes. These words have been said too much around the craftsmen. But every time they heard him talk about it, the craftsmen never tired of listening to the teachings of the county keeper.
There are men, women, and children. Fortunately, at this time, the social form of male ploughing and female weaving was very consolidated, and both men and women were no strangers to weaving, and it was not difficult for craftsmen to find. At the westernmost end of the workshop, a proving ground was built early on, allowing the craftsmen to experiment according to the rough process he provided. After more than a month of experiments, it was already possible to make a relatively coarse paper.
"Don't be afraid to waste materials when you're fumbling, and don't be afraid to change your ways. I can only tell you a general process, and how to do it requires everyone's diligent exploration. There are many materials here, such as bamboo poles, mulberry bark, hemp stalks, pine bark, and even sandalwood...... Here, I assure you that those who can produce paper of various materials and meet the standards set by the official will be rewarded with 100 gold! He was also promoted to stewardship! This promise is valid at all times! Anyone who has worked here for ten years can take off the household registration of a craftsman, can freely choose a profession, and of course, if you stay in the workshop and continue to work, your salary will be doubled! "Chen Sheng's words are very inflammatory. He had already provided the process of making paper, and he had been able to make rough sheets, and the materials were abundant, and there must be brave men under the reward, and he did not believe that among these craftsmen, the best recipe could not be found.
"My lord......" When Chen Sheng and everyone were talking enthusiastically, a small official in the palace hurriedly came and said in Chen Sheng's ear: "That person is awake." ”
Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows, overjoyed. The person in the mouth of the little official was Xu Wugui, who was hunted down by the killers that day.
Xu Wugui was injured and fell into a coma, and after being rescued by Chen Sheng back to the mansion, he has been unconscious. Fortunately, Chen Sheng's medical skills were excellent, and he prescribed a lot of medicines to recuperate his body, so that his failure was stabilized and his body began to improve. Even so, Xu Wugui fell asleep for six days before he woke up. In the few days that he was asleep, Fan Jiao had been by his side every inch. While serving as his bodyguard, he is also guarding him.
Knowing that Xu Wugui woke up, Chen Sheng immediately left the workshop. There are really a lot of mysteries about Xu Wugui. For example, why the killers were chasing him, and whether he made the suit of armor and the strange wooden box on his body, or how he got it from someone else. Chen Sheng was very concerned about this.
The armor and the wooden box Chen Sheng had already inspected many times. The armor is not forged from metal, in fact this suit is woven from rattan. One finger thick, similar to the armor and shield of the rattan armor warriors in the Minyue Army. However, in comparison, the armor on Xu Wugui's body is softer, and it is only a little harder than ordinary clothes on his body, like putting on a big jacket. But when the experimental knife cut the fire, the effect shocked Chen Sheng, and when the machete slashed hard, only a small ash mark appeared. It doesn't hurt the flesh inside at all. It's the same with setting fire, except for the heat and heat, the root pressure is not much destroyed.
"The quality of this thing is comparable to that of a bulletproof vest!" Chen Sheng was full of praise at the time, and regarded the armor as an artifact. However, what made Chen Sheng more interested was Xu Wugui's wooden box. The teeth all over the walls of the wooden box have the feeling of the industrial age, and the person who can make such a thing is definitely a master-level craftsman, and Chen Sheng is even more eager for such talents.
……
"What's your name?" After returning home, Chen Sheng sorted out his thoughts slightly, went to the wing room in the backyard, and inspected Xu Wugui. After checking the pulse, he saw that Xu Wugui's injuries were already stable, and he opened his mouth to ask.
"You saved me?" Xu Wugui has been awake for a while. During this time, he recalled what had happened before he fell unconscious. When he was finally unable to hold on, several people jumped out of a restaurant on the street and helped him fight off the group of killers. Xu Wugui looked at Chen Sheng's young face, and then looked at Fan Zhi and Ling Zhu'er who were standing beside Chen Sheng, there was still a trace of vigilance and vigilance between his eyebrows. However, after seeing his wooden box set aside, his expression relaxed slightly.
"Not bad. It's us. Chen Sheng's tone was very flat. What is your name? Chen Sheng's voice and intonation did not change. I recap the question I just asked.
"There are no ghosts in Xia Xu. Thank you brother for saving your life. Xu Wugui had no hostility at all, and hugged his fist at Chen Sheng. But the voice was still a little faint.
"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Chen Sheng smiled indifferently and said, "Who is the killer who chased you that day?" Chen Sheng continued to ask.
Seeing Chen Sheng mention this issue, Xu Wugui frowned. There seems to be something unspeakable. Chen Sheng also saw his embarrassment, but he didn't care, and continued: "It's not that I'm curious to inquire into your private affairs. The group of killers committed murder in the downtown area, and also injured innocent people, four passers-by were innocent on the street, three dead and one seriously injured. The families of the victims weep in front of the government every day, and I have the duty to arrest these murderers, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the emperor and the people of Qianshou. When Chen Sheng said this, his face was upright.
Listening to Chen Sheng's old-fashioned tone, Xu Wugui said in surprise: "You are ......"
"Under Chen Sheng, Minzhong County Guard." Chen Sheng said calmly.
