Chapter 121: Analysis
Lin Run really didn't dare to say this, for fear that Lin Qingwan would pass on the secret recipe of bamboo paper.
He had always been a little unable to see through her.
"The quality of straw paper is not very good, this thing has to be small profits and quick sales to see the effect, but the strength of the Lin clan is limited, so it is best to pass the recipe out, so that people with a heart can make paper if they want to, wouldn't it be better?" Lin Qingwan saw that the patriarch looked depressed, so she still explained more.
Lin Run was even more incomprehensible, "There are few people in the world who can use paper, and the formula is spreading, and there will definitely be a lot of people who will do this business at that time, how can you make money?" ”
"There is always something to be gained," Lin Qingwan smiled indifferently: "Everyone has similar costs, they won't buy and sell at a loss for the sake of sales, right?" ”
But there is a lot of difference in the profits, Lin Run doesn't think Lin Qingwan will not know this, she will say this, obviously she doesn't care about the profits brought by the straw paper.
He sighed slightly, and didn't persuade again, forget it, anyway, there is bamboo paper, this is the big head.
Lin Run took away half of the box of bamboo paper and went back to the clan to discuss with the clansmen.
Lin Qingwan waited for him to leave before saying to Steward Lin and Steward Zhong: "The profit of bamboo paper is very high, but its price is too high, not ordinary people can afford to consume, and the sales volume is limited, so we can't ignore straw paper." ”
"But isn't my aunt planning to reveal the recipe for the straw paper?"
The corners of Lin Qingwan's mouth twitched, "Even if it's made public, we can do better than others." Moreover, its sales volume will be very high, and its profit will not be lower than that of bamboo paper under small profits and quick turnover. ”
Steward Lin and Steward Zhong frowned, and said in a low voice: "But there are only a limited number of readers in the world, even if the price of straw paper is low, the sales volume will not be high......"
Lin Qingwan said meaningfully: "There will always be more and more people, in short, you prepare first, let Cao Jin and Meng Fu study and study the grass paper again, and see if they can make it better, or reduce the cost without reducing the quality." ”
Steward Lin and Steward Zhong glanced at each other and asked, "Where does Grandma want to set up the paper mill?" ”
"Set up one in Zhuangzi first, and then set up one in the other two places when the sales are stable, so that the bookstore will not have to be shipped from Suzhou to sell at that time." Lin Qingwan spread out the map of Zhuangzi, and finally nodded at the other end of Zhuangzi, where the pasture garden was still going to pass: "There is a river here, so that people can intercept a section of water, and dig a big pond here to make a paper mill." ”
"Workers' ......"
"Let the willow steward recruit, or you can choose from the long-term workers." Lin Qingwan said: "Our family's long-term work should be increased. ”
Steward Lin and Steward Zhong glanced at each other, and understood that Grandma was going to take the opportunity to cultivate a private army.
Although the cost of raising an army is very high, after the mob siege, the two of them are not worried about the money.
Anyway, now that the Lin family can afford it, it is important to protect the masters, and the private army will raise it.
When Lin Qingwan and Steward Zhong finished discussing the specific matters, the sun was about to set outside, and Lin Qingwan was about to leave them for dinner, when Bai Feng flashed outside the door.
Lin Qingwan said: "You go back to eat first, and I'll look for you if you have something." ”
Steward Lin and Steward Zhong also saw Bai Feng, knowing that their aunt had something to deal with, they couldn't help but admonish, "Auntie and grandma should also pay attention to rest, and their bodies are important." ”
Lin Qingwan responded, and after sending the two away, she let Bai Feng in.
Bai Feng came in and reported: "Auntie, Bi Rong came to see it twice in the afternoon, and the eldest lady came back from Shangfu and seemed to be in a bad mood. ”
Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "Let people set the meal, go and invite the eldest lady to dinner." ”
Bai Feng should get down and bow down and withdraw.
When Lin Yubin came over, her face was already colorless, she happily shared the gift she received today with her aunt, and then quietly accompanied Lin Qingwan to eat.
After eating, Lin Qingwan glanced at the starry sky outside and beckoned to her, "Let's go, our aunt and nephew go out for a walk." ”
The four of Baimei were shocked, "Grandma, there is already dew outside, let's just walk around the house." ”
"Don't worry, we don't go to the yard, just walk in the corridor and don't let the dew get on our bodies." Lin Qingwan smiled at Lin Yubin and said, "Don't let down such a beautiful starry sky." ”
Lin Yubin glanced out and followed the sister-in-law.
Bai Mei and Ying Yan immediately took their cloaks and put them on their respective masters, for fear that they would be a little cold.
Lin Qingwan waved her hand backwards and said, "I don't need you to follow, and it's not a far place, just go by ourselves." ”
The four of Baimei could only take the girls to stop, and reluctantly watched the aunt and nephew walk away hand in hand.
The two of them walked slowly along the corridor, and when they turned their heads, they could see the stars in the sky, such a starry sky Lin Qingwan rarely saw when she grew up.
She let go of Lin Yubin's hand, leaned on the railing, and looked at Lin Yubin with a side smile.
Lin Yubin saw tolerance and jokes in her sister-in-law's eyes, and couldn't help blushing, turning her head to look at the sky.
Seeing her twist, Lin Qingwan could only take the initiative to ask, "Are you happy to go to your grandmother's house today?" ”
Lin Yubin didn't express her happiness before the meal, anyway, she knew that she couldn't hide it from her aunt.
Lin Qingwan didn't force her to answer, just leaned against the pillar and looked at the sky quietly, and it took a long time to hear her say in a low voice: "Auntie, we have all become different." ”
Lin Qingwan looked at her with a soft gaze.
Lin Yubin sighed and said: "My grandmother doesn't hurt me as much as she used to, and she will also probe my attitude from the side, and even press me as an elder." ”
"And I'm not as good as before, I will also be hypocritical, and even resentful," Lin Yubin said softly: "This is not right." ”
Unlike the books she read and the education she received, she didn't understand how she could become like this, but she just did it subconsciously.
Lin Qingwan couldn't help laughing, "I often laugh at Mingjie for being a nerd, but I didn't expect our family Yubin to be a nerd too." ”
"Auntie!" Lin Yubin couldn't help pouting.
Lin Qingwan smiled lightly, turned her head to look at the starry sky and said, "Sincere people are rare, just because it is difficult for such a person to live." And if people want to live, they will inevitably have a plan, and if they want to live well, they need strategy. And the first step of strategy is to be happy and angry, so that people can't touch the real thoughts in your heart. ”
"It's hard for us to do that, but we should work on it." Lin Qingwan pointed to the outside of Zhuangzi and said, "At least in such a troubled world, we must have the ability to protect ourselves." ”
"If you want to be sincere, do you think my sister-in-law can still raise you? It has long been swallowed by the clan monks. ”
"How can it be the same," Lin Yubin whispered, "My grandmother is my dearest person, I have always treated her with sincerity, and she has always loved me, I never thought that we would become like this." ”
"That's just because you don't have a conflict of interest," Lin Qingwan said with an almost cruel analysis: "At that time, you were just borrowing the granddaughter of the Shang family, and your father was still there, and the two families had a close relationship and supported each other, and there was no contradiction." Even if there is, it can be ignored under the premise of interests, so that your grandmother can naturally love you wholeheartedly. ”
"But now, your father is gone, the Lin family can't help the Shang family, the interests of the two families have decreased, and there are even interest disputes," Lin Qingwan looked at her and said: "The old lady is also a human being, and she also has relatives in her heart, so in such a situation, she naturally has to make trade-offs." ”
Lin Yubin lowered his head uncomfortably.
Lin Qingwan rubbed her head and said, "Child, this is a very normal thing, even I am not immune." If you have a conflict with your sons and nephews, which side do you think I will stand on? ”
Lin Yubin didn't think about it, "Naturally, it's on my side." ”
"yes, why? It's all my nephews, so why don't I stand with each other? Lin Qingwan said: "It's not because you are my niece, I took it with me, and there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy." ”
"The old lady is the same, for her, Mingjie and you, she loves Mingjie more, but Mingjie is a monk, she definitely loves Shangjia more."
"Doesn't she hurt you? It hurts, it's just not as important as the Shang family and the two grandchildren," Lin Qingwan said cruelly: "If you want to ask who you and the three sisters of Danlan hurt the old lady more, it must be you, but one day you really have an accident together, who do you think the old lady will protect?" ”
Lin Yubin's face turned pale, and he pursed his lips and did not speak.
"Danlan and they are still involved in the Shang family behind them, even if she loves you more, for the sake of the Shang family, even if she is sad, she will choose Danlan and them." Lin Qingwan didn't give her time to react, and directly picked up.
There's nothing wrong with that, everyone has intimacy, she can understand it. But what she doesn't like is that the old lady has made a choice, but she still has to make a look of loving Yubin.
even oppressed people with filial piety, forcing Yubin to accompany her to make a look of Zuci and Sun Xiao, she didn't know what Yubin was stimulated by the Shang family, but she knew that the main force must be the old lady.
Who else but her could hurt her like that?
Lin Yubin slumped his shoulders tiredly, leaned on his sister-in-law, and said in a dumb voice after half a sound: "Auntie, you can return the Shang family's jade Ruyi." ”
Lin Qingwan was stunned and asked, "You don't like Mingjie anymore?" ”
Lin Yubin pursed his lips, hugged his sister-in-law, and said with red eyes: "He's fine, but his home is not good, auntie, I don't want you to be embarrassed." ”
She vaguely knew that her sister-in-law didn't like the Shang family either, and it was for her that she maintained such close contacts.
"Silly child," Lin Qingwan touched her head and smiled: "You still see too little, let's talk about this after you grow up and meet more people and more families." ”
The Shang family is bad, but are the other families good?
No matter how bad Mrs. Shang is, she will definitely stand in Yubin when facing the second wife of Yubin and Shang. And Mrs. Shang is stupid and impatient, and it is too easy to deal with her.
Not to mention her, even Yubin has many ways to deal with it.
For her, the real difficulty of Yubin after marrying into the Shang family lies in Shang Ping and Zhao Jie.
These two and Shang Mingjie are the key to determining her status.
Shang Mingjie didn't say it, Shang Ping and Zhao Jie ......
Lin Qingwan sneered, but Yubin is still young, her marriage is not in a hurry, the coming day will be long, and it will depend on who is higher and who is lower in the three families of Lin Shang and Zhao.
