Chapter 391: In the Field (1)

Yu Lingling became happy, "Let's go together?" I can also go to the capital. ”

Yu Jiao looked at her with a smile, "If you are reluctant to give up your brother-in-law, I can do it by myself." ”

Yu Lingling glared at Yu Jiao with disgust, and said helplessly, "You have such a mouth, you are talking nonsense!" ”

She talked to Yu Jiao about serious things, "Have you ever thought about where to build a paper mill?" Do you want to be in this Lanshu County? ”

Yu Lingling privately wanted Yu Jiao to open a paper mill in Qingyu Village, and to hire someone to do things to open a paper mill, and to open it in Qingyu Village, it can be regarded as benefiting the neighbors, close to home, and her father and mother can also help, and it is not a way to stay in Lanshu County all the time.

"I haven't thought about this yet, it depends on the environment." If they make their own paper, they need to choose a place close to the water source and have raw materials.

Xuan paper is made of green sandalwood bark, and Xue Tao note is a red note made of the skin of wood hibiscus and the juice of hibiscus flowers.

The method of making paper recorded in "Heavenly Creation" is made of bark.

Yu Jiao lived with her grandfather in Qinling in her previous life, and the local people in Qinling have relied on the tree in the mountains since ancient times to make bark paper for a living.

The bark paper of Beizhang Village was listed as one of the world's intangible cultural heritage in later generations, and Yu Jiao often went to the foot of the mountain to play, and witnessed the process of making the bark paper many times.

At that time, because I thought it was fun, I also helped people trample on leather piles and pound paper materials.

It is precisely because he is familiar with the process of making paper that when Yu Zhizhou mentioned selling paper, Yu Jiao asked him why he didn't make his own paper.

Finding the right raw materials is the key to deciding where to place your paper mill.

Although there are many mountains in Qingzhou, but Lanshu County is not close to the mountains, the trees are mostly poplars and acacia willows, these days, Yu Jiao has never seen the green sandalwood tree and the tree of the tree.

Wild tree because of drought resistance, barrenness, common in ravines, wasteland, Qingyan Mountain may have a tree, but Yu Jiao did not pay attention to the mountain before when he went up the mountain to collect medicine, and after a while, he had to go back to Qingyu Village, go to Qingyan Mountain to take a closer look.

Seeing that there was white smoke on the stove, Yu Poria took out a few firewood from the stove and put it in the ashes under the stove to extinguish it, so he unintentionally mentioned it, "That Gu Xiaohou is also a good person, he actually lent you so much silver in one go, but for no reason, he treats you like this, should he have other thoughts?" ”

Yu Jiao raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Lingling quietly.

As if she had seen through her thoughts, Yu Lingling secretly scolded herself for not hiding words in her words, Yu Jiao has always been a straightforward person, and she is transparent and clear, why should she be cautious in front of her.

Yu Fuling said a little ashamedly, "I'm afraid that Gu Xiaohou has something in mind about you...... After all, if you are not a relative, you will be given seven or eight thousand taels of silver at will. ”

In fact, when she said this, Yu Fuling also felt that she was thinking too much, such as Gu Xiaohou, a proud son of the sky, what kind of woman she had never seen in the capital, and where could she look down on an ordinary woman, besides, when she met for the first time, something like that happened.

was originally a grudge, who would have thought that he would become a noble man of Yu Jiao's business.

Yu Jiao did not perfunctory Yu Ling, but thought about it seriously and replied, "I don't know what he thinks, but I guess that Gu Xiaohou is so generous, and it is somewhat because of the previous search for relatives." ”

Yu Fuling remembered that Liu Gongzi seemed to regard Yu Jiao as his long-lost sister, thinking about it like this, Gu Xiaohou was willing to help Yu Jiao, but this layer had more to do with it.

"Gu Xiaohou's family has a big business, maybe he doesn't take this money in his eyes, and when he makes money in the future, he will share some dry shares." Yu Jiao took Gu Yun's favor, and she had already made up her mind to repay it, no matter why Gu Yun lent her so much silver, she would never take advantage of Gu Yun in vain.

"It's me who talks too much, don't take it to heart, I just think it's not good to have too much to do with big people like them." Gu Xiaohou Ye is a real noble clan, if one is unhappy, he will be killed and taken away, where can ordinary people like them afford to climb high.

Yu Lingling still remembered Gu Yun's obedient and unruly appearance, and she was terrified.

Yu Jiao smiled lightly, "Merchants are bound to deal with the three sects and nine streams, and it is inevitable." ”

If you hadn't gotten to know Gu Yun, how could you be so easy to buy grain from the river and transport it, walking in the world, it is indispensable to make good connections, no one has made friends, it is too difficult to succeed.

Yu Fuling also understands this truth, and she can't help but blame herself very much, it is difficult for women in this world to do business, so she shouldn't be quick to talk for a while, and she still has the idea of beating Yu Jiao.

"When the water is boiled, you go and freshen up first." Yu Lingling lifted the stubble, picked up the hot water in the pot, and helped Yu Jiao send it to the room.

After Yu Jiao returned to the room to bathe, she sat down at the table and wrote a letter to Steward Zhou, asking how much grain was left in Danzhou, and if Steward Zhou could draw it, let him go back to Lanshu County, and hand over the Danzhou grain shop to others in advance.

Sealed the envelope with fire paint, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the room, Yu Jiao opened the door, and Yu Lingling stood outside the door with the futon in her arms, "I...... I want to sleep with you. ”

Yu Jiao smiled, "Okay." ”

Seeing that she should get down, Yu Lingling spread her bedding on the bed and got in.

Yu Jiao blew out the lamp and candle, got on the bed, and lay inside.

In the dark, there was silence for a while, Yu Poria turned over and said softly, "Yu Jiao, I just said those words in the stove room, don't take it to heart." ”

"Hmm......"

Yu Jiao's sleepy grunt came from beside her, as if she didn't hear what she was saying at all, Yu Lingling smiled silently, it seemed that she was really tired, but she was too sensitive.

Yu Fuling fumbled the corners of the quilt for Yu Jiao, thinking that she would cook more delicious food for Yu Jiao tomorrow, and she couldn't say anything with her mouth in the future.

On the second day, Yu Jiao sent the letter to Danzhou, looked at the accounts of the grain shop, counted the surplus grain again, and took a few men to the countryside to inspect the fields bought.

Unlike Qingyu Village, which has been restored after the disaster, the collapsed houses in the villages of Lanshu County are still being rebuilt, and several villagers have sold their fields to Yu Jiao, and the money from the sale of the fields is rebuilding the houses.

Someone recognized Yu Jiao, and soon the people of a village rushed over, and eagerly greeted Yu Jiao and his party to eat in the village.

Sitting under the makeshift grass hut in the village, many people gathered around Yu Jiao and talked to her.

"Miss Yu, when will we start planting this field?" An old man asked.

Yu Jiao had just seen in the field, the low-lying fields were still filled with water, and the slightly higher fields were wet and sticky, like a lotus pond that had just been drained.

Yu Jiao looked at the old man and said politely, "The field is still wet, wait until you build the house, vacate the space, and then be busy with the work in the field." ”
