Fang Yun nodded and said, "Let's talk about the paper workshop, I didn't seem to see a paper workshop outside the city when I climbed Yueyang Tower. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Dong Wencong sighed and said: "You also know that papermaking is extremely water-intensive, and it is necessary to bleach it with lime, to discharge the black liquor of straw pulp, and to add other wastewater, so that the papermaking workshop has become a famous waste water user. Making 1,000 catties of paper will produce 100,000 catties of wastewater, a hundredfold! Workers have been trying to reduce the waste water of papermaking, but there has been no major innovation, therefore, papermaking wastewater has become the most troublesome thing for the human race. ”

Fang Yun nodded, not to mention the current Shengyuan Continent, even the countries of the ancient Chinese kingdom were worried about papermaking pollution, and there was no way to solve it.

Dong Wencong continued: "At that time, Qingguo never regarded the people of Xiangzhou as people, so he built a large number of paper workshops in various places near the water in Xiangzhou. With the excessive discharge of wastewater, there are problems in the rivers and waterways in some places, which has caused the people of Xiangzhou to take to the streets to oppose the paper workshop. There was a lot of trouble in this matter, and some righteous people even ran to the gate of the Holy Courtyard to burn themselves, which alarmed the Holy Courtyard to send people to check. Qingguo had no choice but to reduce the number of paper mills in Xiangzhou and close down the smaller ones, because the smaller the mills that make the same amount of paper, the smaller the mills discharge, the more sewage they discharge. ”

However, outside Baling City, there was originally a paper workshop, and after Jingguo took back Xiangzhou, the Qingjiang Commercial Bank closed the last paper workshop on the grounds that there was too much waste water in the paper workshop, and then evacuated all the people and institutions. However, some people say that the papermaking technology of Qingjiang Commercial Bank is a unique one of the human races, stronger than Jingguo's papermaking technology, and the reason why Qingjiang Commercial Bank withdrew was to avoid being stolen by Jingguo. ”

Although Qingjiang Commercial Bank withdrew the paper mills in Baling City, there were paper workshops in various places, and it was still the largest paper merchant in Xiangzhou, earning a large amount of silver taels from Xiangzhou. Now, Zhao's firm is building a paper workshop in Baling, using local materials and less cost, which will affect Qingjiang firm. Affected by the Jingguo Commercial Bank, the income of Qingguo and a number of commercial banks has been reduced by about one percent, if the Zhao Commercial Bank builds a number of paper workshops, the income of Qingjiang Commercial Bank in Xiangzhou will drop to seventy percent of the original, which Qingjiang Commercial Bank never wants to see. ”

Therefore, the lower officials thought that the opposition of the people of Baling on the street this time was controlled by the Qingjiang Commercial Bank behind the scenes, in order to force away the Zhao Commercial Bank, and almost guaranteed to be dominant in Xiangzhou. ”

"I basically get it. However, what are you going to do with the people of Baling going to the streets?" Fang Yun asked.

Dong Wencong looked ashamed and said: "The lower officials have not come up with a perfect plan, after all, this matter is complicated, and it will affect the whole body, in case it causes public unrest, the official is afraid that he will be rated as subordinate by the official department and will be demoted." The subordinate officials are ready to convene their staff and officials today to discuss a foolproof plan. ”

"Well, I'll leave that to you. Fang Yundao.

After Dong Wencong left, Fang Yun was about to read, but remembered Dong Wencong's sentence "will be demoted", and stood motionless in the courtyard.

"As the governor of the two states, I can naturally cut the first and then play, but I can't decide the transfer of the state governor, the state governor, and the state court. I have the power to control officials at all levels under the two prefectures and three products, and the officials and the left minister also have it! I can find an excuse to deal with those officials who favor Qingguo or the left minister, and Liu Shan can also find an excuse to deal with Jing Guan. Since I first came to Xiangzhou, I encountered thousands of people on the streets to oppose it, and I must not leave it alone. ”

Fang Yun thought about it, walked towards the side door of the state ya, walked to a place where no one was, took out his pen and ink, used the power of painting to quickly change his appearance, and then changed into ordinary children's clothes and walked out.

The soldiers on both sides of the door glanced at Fang Yun, and then looked straight ahead.

Fang Yun walked out of the state office, walked out of the narrow alley, and after a few steps, he saw several carriages parked outside.

Fang Yun beckoned, and the driver at the front immediately drove forward.

Pulling the carriage was a common yellow-maned horse, very shabby, with a finger-wide gap between the planks of the carriage.

"Where are you going?" the middle-aged coachman bowed his head and bowed respectfully.

Fang Yun took out a piece of silver for two taels, threw it to the middle-aged coachman, and said with a smile: "The place I went to is farther, it is the North Workshop District outside the city, you may run empty when you come back, take it." ”

The middle-aged coachman was very excited and said, "Thank you Master Tongsheng! Thank you, Master! We can't earn two taels of silver a day." ”

The coachmen not far away were envious when they saw this scene.

Fang Yun entered the carriage and frowned instinctively, because this carriage was too shabby, and even exuded a musty smell, which made Fang Yun, who was used to being a Longma luxury car, very uncomfortable, but then, Fang Yun looked solemn, and criticized himself in his heart that he should not let his emotions fluctuate because of such a small influence from the outside, and in the long run, it would be difficult to become a scholar in a positive state of mind.

Righteousness is not affected by the negativity of the self or external objects.

Fang Yun was reflecting on his own over-arrogance and even hypocrisy, and the voice of the groom came from outside.

"Master Tongsheng, seeing that you are a sincere person, I will tell the truth. There is someone making trouble in the North Gongfang District today, I'm afraid I can only send it to the near North Gongfang District, this money is too much. The middle-aged coachman had a rough face and a dark brown complexion, and he had been in the wind and rain for a long time, but his tone was comfortably honest.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "I'm just afraid that the troublemakers there will affect you, so I will give you more money, you take it first, and in the end you can go as far as you can." ”

The middle-aged coachman hurriedly said: "Since you say so, then I will send it wherever you go, and this money can let me go around Baling City." ”

"Let's go. Fang Yun nodded.

"Okay!" The middle-aged coachman waved his whip, the tip of which was piercing, and the carriage moved forward.

After a while, the middle-aged coachman said while rushing to the car: "The lord inside, the North Workshop District is not safe now, you better be careful." ”

Fang Yun was about to say thank you, but his heart moved, and he asked: "I'm a child, is there anyone who dares to rob a child?"

"Don't you know, there are even people who make trouble, do you think they dare to beat the children?"

"Oh, so do you know why they're making trouble in the streets?"

The middle-aged coachman said: "Actually, you really can't say that they are making trouble, they are also for Baling's good." A few days ago, the senior officials of Jingguo took good care of our Xiangzhou Baling, but recently it suddenly changed, and he actually wanted to build a large paper workshop in Baling. The older Baling people all know that that thing is harmful to people, and as soon as the paper workshop comes out, it will smell bad for ten miles, and the crops will be harvested for hundreds of miles. Therefore, some people in Baling City went together to oppose the construction of a paper workshop. The reason why I say they are making trouble is that I saw a number of ruffians and hooligans following them, and I heard them secretly say that they would get money there. But don't tell anyone, it's going to cost you a head. ”

Fang Yun smiled: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, I'm just curious about this." What do you think of this paper workshop?"

The middle-aged coachman said helplessly: "Don't make a paper workshop, Xiangzhou people buy paper more expensively, and Qingguo has earned all the money." If you want a paper workshop, the Baling people will be unlucky for generations. What else can be done? The papermaking workshop can be built in other areas of Xiangzhou, not in Baling. ”
