The palace gate was about to close, and Lei Biao and Lin Xia left the palace with their children when the palace gate was closed.

On the carriage, Lin Xia looked at Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er with sad eyes, and looked at Emperor Dawu as if he liked them very much, but the companion was like a tiger, if she could, Lin Xia was unwilling to let them embark on a career path, and she was originally unwilling to let Lin Chengzu also go back to the road of official career, but unfortunately that was his dream all along, and she had no right to interfere.

Seeing Lin Xia's brows furrowed tightly, Lei Biao kissed her eyebrows lightly, and her indifferent voice contained reassuring power, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”

"Yes." Lin Xia raised a faint smile and leaned his head in his arms, "With you, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

……

When Lin Xia saw the trial products, his eyes were full of joy, especially when the trial products and paper towels were there, it was simply convenient, but there was no need to use dry leaf paper every time he went to the toilet.

This time, in addition to paper towels, there is also a new type of writing paper that is not inferior to rice paper but much whiter than rice paper; and drawing paper, which is more suitable for painting than drawing paper.

Lin Xia positioned the writing paper, drawing paper and paper towel as the three major papers used in the paper mill, and then asked Zhang Cai to investigate around to see if there was a good feng shui treasure, and there must be water, which is hidden enough and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhang Cai is also a quick worker, and soon found a place of 'gourd valley', the two valleys of the gourd valley are close together, the same shape as a gourd, the gourd mouth is the entrance and exit, as soon as you enter it is a small valley, there is a river to go inside, and the other side of the river is a big valley, surrounded by cliffs.

After choosing the location of the paper mill, Lin Xia and Lei Biao used the contacts accumulated during this period of time to start pulling some networks, wanting to talk about some people to open a paper mill, as for Lin Chengzu has taken down the prince, the prince is willing to contribute capital and will become the largest shareholder of the paper mill.

But there is money to be made, everyone makes money, Lin Xia directly pulled Li Yunfei and Lin Chengzu into the relationship network, and gave them a piece of cake, in addition to Lin Xia's surprise, the first shareholder Lei Biao looked for was actually General Zhenguo.

At this time, Lin Xia knew that Lei Biao had already thought about talking to the general of Zhenguo, not to mention the status of the Zhenguo Mansion in the court, the sons of the general of Zhenguo were all military generals, it is not an exaggeration to say that half of the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty were from the Lei family's army, and they directly obeyed the orders of the general of Zhenguo, of course, there was also a general who defended the country, and he was also a brother who was born and died with the general of Zhenguo.

The most important thing is that the opening of a paper mill requires a large number of workers, so far the talents trained by Yalinju are invested in the operation of Yalinju, and Yalinju will open branches in the future, but there is really no large number of people to put into the paper mill.

But Lei Biao thought of the wounded and retired personnel who retreated from the battlefield, all along, whether it was the Zhenguo Mansion or the Defending General's Mansion, these two generals were secretly funding those injured and disabled sergeants.

In the early years, the war was fierce, and there were countless disabled soldiers who retired from the battlefield, although there were subsidies from the imperial court, but it was far from enough, and even some people were already unable to move, and there had to be special people to take care of them.

However, there are also many brothers who are missing arms and legs, they used to be the strongest soldiers, and after retiring, let them return to their hometown to live the rest of their lives, the two generals really can't bear it, they have to stay by their side to take care of it, and they don't know if they are bullied.

It's just that their ability is limited after all, both of them are rough people, they are good at marching and fighting, and they can also use tactics to arrange formations, but they really don't know anything about doing business and making money, and they can't understand the curves and turns.

So Lei Biao came here, first, to solve the problem of the brothers who were injured and retired, and let them go to the paper mill to do things, after all, they all retired from the army, and naturally they all had the style of an army, secrecy is the first rule, and their action and self-control are much stronger than ordinary people, so they are naturally relieved; Second, you can also earn some silver to subsidize your family.

When General Zhenguo heard that this was feasible, he agreed to Lei Biao, and also brought his good brother General Shouguo to do this together, without any ambiguity.

After many days of hard work by Lei Biao and Lin Xia, a huge network of relationships has been invisibly weaved.

Lin Xia is not blindly looking for someone to buy shares, specifically looking for the lady of the main palace of the dignitaries and famous families, at first some people looked down on it, although they have the same identity, they are all housewives, but there are always some people behind the mother's tough, the right to speak should not be underestimated, naturally they look down on Yalinju.

But fortunately, Lin Xia also brought in a lot of people.

One day, the VIP room on the third floor of the Wangxing Building of the Twin Restaurants was elegantly decorated, with a new stuffed velvet blanket, thin silk curtains, and a rising light smoke in the delicate incense burner, which made the room fragrant.

Just now, there are several luxurious carriages parked at the door of the Wangxing Tower, causing a lot of people to watch, although there are countless luxury carriages coming and going in the Twin Restaurants, but there are so many cars in a while, and even lined up into a car line, which is still extremely rare.

The ladies who got off the luxury carriage were helped straight up to the VIP room on the third floor, where there were already ladies waiting.

The VIP room is divided into two spaces, separated by a dense crystal bead curtain in the middle, and next to a twelve-fold landscape screen towering, with a row of tables and chairs in front.

The earliest to arrive was naturally Lin Xia and Cuiyu, and Li Zijin was not suitable to go out because he gave birth to a son the day before yesterday and was in confinement.

After a while, it was Mrs. Zhenguo and Mrs. Shouguo, Mrs. Shouguo was the first time she saw Lin Xia, and she was impressed when she first saw her, and she couldn't see that Lin Xia would be an ordinary country woman.

Lin Xia looked particularly calm, although she knew that the ladies who came were valuable, but she Lin Xia was not weak, she was a modern person, and she could be regarded as the main planner of this paper mill plan, relying on the prince and Emperor Dawu behind her, she really had nothing to be afraid of.

And the relationship between many of the ladies is especially good with her, not because the bathing launched by Lin Xia is particularly popular among the official wives, but many ladies are pregnant after the bathing, and they also specially sent gifts to thank Yalinju.

After a while, one after another, the official wives were already sitting in the cubicles, all of which were going to invest in the paper mill.

After the hour came, the ladies no longer chatted enthusiastically, but sat upright, tasted the almost, and occasionally whispered a few words, each showing the bearing and style of being an official wife.

There were a few strange men who came in from outside, dressed luxuriously, and it turned out that the noble children were afraid that the lady of the family would not be able to control the scene, so they came to suppress the formation, so they were arranged next to the twelve-fold screen.

Among them is Lei Biao's figure, afraid that Lin Xia will have an accident.

After this group of noble children arrived at the location one after another, after a while, several businessmen dressed up came one after another, including Li Yunfei, in fact, he is not a businessman, but the Longmen Dart Bureau has opened a lot of branches in various parts of the Wu Dynasty relying on Yalinju, and it is already a little famous, and many people know Li Yunfei, the chief dart head.

The merchants are mainly in the outer room of the VIP room, although they don't know who the ladies inside are, but they all know that any one of them is the identity of making them bend their waists and salute.

As soon as they came in, everyone bowed their heads and saluted, "I've seen you all the ladies in Xiaomin." ”

The highest status among this group of official wives is Mrs. Zhenguo, and she answered, "Well, get up, this time they are all here to talk about business, don't worry about so much, sit down." ”

The businessmen sat down one after another, Lin Xia saw that everyone had arrived, patted his palms lightly, and after a while, more than a dozen waiters came in, and their hands and feet were quick but their posture was not flustered, and they served everyone the most expensive refreshments in Yalinju.

Lin Xia faced so many old fritters, powerful people, tried his best to stabilize his emotions, "I think everyone knows that we Yalinju is going to launch the paper mill, and we already have a general understanding, I won't say much about it, this is the charter we proposed, you can take a look at it first, if you think it is appropriate, you can carry out the next plan, if you have any questions, you can also say it directly." ”

In everyone's hearts, they are extremely concerned about the matter of the paper mill, after all, they have all seen the samples, this new papermaking method will replace those old small workshops, and those who read will remember their names in the future.

Soon, a waiter passed the written contract to the merchants one by one, and it was copied from the original contract drafted by Lin Xia.

Several giants are old fritters in the shopping mall, and they saw the benefits at a glance, and hurriedly nodded in response, how could they refuse to make money.

Seeing that they did not raise any objections, Lin Xia began the following process, "This paper mill will be divided into one hundred shares, each of which is five thousand taels of silver, how much are you going to want?" ”

"We can afford to take half, fifty shares, of course, if the ladies don't want to give so much, we will ask for less, forty shares is the least weight, if it is too little, we will not have enough shares."

"Well, it's similar to what I thought, we have a total of twenty, sixty shares is enough, and you can give you forty shares."

"Thank you, Mrs. Ray."

"Don't thank you first, there are still things to be clear, since we are planning to build a paper mill, we have already selected a place in advance, which is Hulu Valley, which is more than forty miles outside the southern suburbs of the capital. You don't have to worry about things like land deeds and procedures, we will be responsible for handling this, and the workers don't have to recruit outside, we will have our own people to do it, as long as you have an account office to reconcile the accounts every month. ”

"Can we have a steward to look at this?" Someone asked.
