Chapter 151: Disclosure (1)
The people who ran to the western suburbs took a look, and sure enough, they saw a row of large vats set up in a vacant field, Lin Quan asked people to bring a table, he stood and yelled at the people around him, "All line up, teach one hundred and fifty people in one batch, count a batch in two days, those who can learn will be considered successful, and those who can't learn will go to the teaching meeting by themselves." ”
"The masters also have to work, so I can only teach you for twenty days at most, in order."
As soon as these words came out, everyone flocked to the front and shouted: "I came first, I came first!" ”
Lin Quan asked people to record the people who signed up, and he dragged the table to the side and waited for the first batch of people to sign up.
My aunt and grandmother specially told me that there are some things that must be emphasized again and again.
So when the first 150 people came around him sweating profusely, he stood up and preached loudly, "Are you literate? ”
Everyone shook their heads, and Lin Quan sighed: "Actually, it's not difficult to make paper, but it's a bit difficult to learn it all in two days, so what the master said you must remember in your heart, and if you can't remember it, remember it on paper, you can't write, you can always draw, just draw a painting that you know what it means." ”
The crowd was in a commotion, this, they really hadn't tried.
"Then who in your family has a better memory and a better handiwork, let him come, this should always be, right?" Lin Quan shouted: "I haven't started teaching art today, I will start tomorrow, you go home and discuss, one person learns, the whole family can learn, first of all, you have to learn the craft first." ”
The crowd became agitated, and one of the men raised his hand and asked, "Then, can I let my daughter-in-law come?" She has a much better memory than I do. ”
"Yes," Lin Quan smiled, "You can come to learn from men and women, young and old." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone began to discuss with each other, "If you want to talk about dexterity, it is still my little brother who is the most powerful, the clothes at home are broken, he only saw my mother sew once, and he sewed better than my mother." ”
"My mother also has a good memory, don't look at her age, she can remember the events of three years ago clearly."
"Then I'd better let my dad come, he knows some carpentry, and he must be better at these jobs than me."
"My sister is only twelve, I don't know if she would like to come......"
Anyway, the family can learn slowly, the Lin family said a lot, change the stupid one to learn, may not learn in two days, said that it is someone who can ask the church, but who knows if the person who learns will teach them?
Even if they are willing to teach, they will definitely not be able to teach people in vain, and they will inevitably have to give some money and goods when the time comes.
Lin Quan repeated these words four or five times with a dry mouth, and when he saw that there was no one, he was relieved and lay down on the table.
Although he had to reuse it after following his aunt and grandmother, he was also happy, but he was really tired, it seemed that he had not been idle except for the two days of the New Year.
Lin Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed sadly.
Lin Shun brought a food box over, "Dad, let's eat." ”
Lin Quan got up, stared at him, and asked in a dumb voice, "Why are you here, the field is not busy?" ”
Lin Shun said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's almost busy, the seedlings have just been planted in the field, and other agricultural matters are not in a hurry." ”
The temperature dropped suddenly in the past two days, and the seedlings were not very high, so Aunt Lin asked to wait and then fertilize.
Lin Quan took the food box, and saw that there was a section of tea for moistening his throat inside, so he picked it up and drank it all, and sighed: "You kid is intimate." ”
Lin Shun smiled, looked left and right and asked, "Why are there so few people here?" ”
"If you don't believe it, what's wrong with them," Lin Quan shook his legs and said: "Tomorrow they will naturally come when they hear the real news, anyway, we will teach 1,500 people, and there are no more." ”
Lin Shun was worried, "Dad, you said that so many people have learned the craft, so what about our paper mill?" ”
Lin Quan took a big bite to eat, and said unconcernedly: "My aunt and grandmother are not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" Don't you see that the paper mill has reduced its production?
Don't worry, my aunt won't lose money. ”
It's just to make less money, and he used to feel distressed, but in the past two years, he has also understood that his aunt and grandmother are not people who love money at all.
Otherwise, so many crafts would not be taught.
Lin Quan sighed, the master is not in a hurry, it is useless for them to be slaves even if they die in a hurry.
After Lin Quan finished eating, seeing that no one was coming, he was about to pat his ass and get up, when suddenly a puff of dust rose from the direction of the city gate, and he waited for his eyes and immediately covered the food box.
There are still uneaten dishes in there......
As soon as the thought fell, a few half-grown men in ragged clothes ran to him, panting and looking up and asking him, "Uncle, the Lin family teaches papermaking, can we learn?" ”
Lin Quan looked behind them, the dust was slowly falling, and he saw a group of half-grown teenagers and children behind him, all of them were dirty, the weather was not warm yet, but the clothes on their bodies were only enough to cover half of their bodies.
Without asking, Lin Quan knew who they were.
The little beggars scurrying in the streets and alleys of Suzhou.
Lin Quan shook his lips and was about to refuse, but Lin Shun pulled his father's sleeve and attached it: "My aunt and grandmother are kind-hearted, and they may not refuse." ”
Lin Quan frowned and asked, "You are all from the south?" ”
"No, my house is in the north, and we have people everywhere here," the young man at the head hesitated for a moment and asked, "You still choose a place to accept people." ”
"Don't choose, just ask," Lin Quan glanced at him condescendingly, and then looked at the children behind him, seeing that they were all looking at him expectantly, he couldn't help but have a headache: "You can learn, but aren't you in a group?" You can't take up so many places, you just choose ten people, and then teach them when you have learned them. ”
The young man's eyes lit up, and he knelt down without thinking about it and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”
Lin Quan waved his hand in disgust: "Don't kneel me, my aunt and grandmother are kind-hearted, if my aunt and grandmother know, they will definitely agree, if you want to thank my aunt and grandmother." ”
When the children heard this, they all turned around and kowtowed three times in the direction of the Lin family's courtyard.
The young man at the head said: "When we have money, we will set up an immortal tablet for my aunt and grandmother!" ”
The children responded in unison, "Yes!" ”
Lin Qingwan, who was sitting at home, couldn't help but sneeze.
She rubbed her nose and asked, "How's it going outside?" ”
Bai Mei replied: "I heard that the movement was quite noisy, why don't you go and take a look?" ”
Lin Qingwan shook her head, "I won't go, I'll wait at home." ”
"Guest?" Bai Mei asked, "Do you want a guest at home today?" ”
Lin Qingwan said softly: "There will always be guests coming." ”
She wasn't sure about the others, but Zhou Tingshi would definitely come, and it would be strange if he didn't come if there was such a big thing under his rule.
Compared with the bustle and boiling in the open space, Wenyuan was a different scene, a group of scholars in wide-sleeved Confucian shirts were sitting cross-legged on the mat at this time and talking in a low voice, "I don't know why Brother Lin invited us to come, it doesn't look like this is going to have a meeting." ”
"The Ming Jing has just passed the exam, everyone is busy answering the answers, where is the time to hold a meeting?"
Lin You walked over with a wad of paper and smiled, handed the paper to the servants, and they handed it down, one for each person.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come this time, first, the Ming Jing subject exam has just passed, so that everyone has a place to discuss the test papers; Well, I have something to say next. Lin You smiled and pointed to the paper in everyone's hands and said: "This is the 'Lin Jun Paper' from my Lin family, you haven't used it, you should have heard of it." ”
At that moment, someone chuckled and said, "There are few people who haven't used it, Brother Lin shouldn't be selling his own paper today, right?" Rest assured, we're already using it. ”
Everyone laughed, and a few casually listened to this matter, so they simply relaxed and leaned on the desk and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely support it, and let people buy two more knives when we go back." ”
"Brother Wei is so stingy, Brother Lin only buys two knives when he comes forward, you have to buy more than ten or twenty knives to be worthy of Brother Lin."
Lin You knew that they were well-intentioned jokes, and he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Now that Lin Jun paper is selling very well, my aunt may not be happy if she knows that I recommend it to my friends, there are too many orders in the paper workshop." ”
The scholars laughed when they heard this, "Brother Lin is here to show off to us today?" ”
"Just to tell everyone, Lin Junzhi may not be able to stand the pressure to raise prices in the future."
When everyone heard this, the smiles on their faces froze, and most of the students were already restless, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you want to increase the price, didn't you say that it wouldn't go up?" ”
This paper is a dispensable thing for ordinary people, but it is a must-have for them who are studying students, most of the people invited today are from the Shu family, except for Lu Yu and a few Lu family children, no one dares to say that they are from the family.
Even the Lu Yu brothers occasionally use straw paper to practice their pens, let alone them?
The price of straw paper has risen, and the most direct beneficiaries are them.
Lin You raised his hand to suppress their voices, and said: "You have been busy with the Ming Jing scientific research recently, maybe you don't know it, Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites took the lead in impeaching my aunt for maliciously lowering the price of paper, destroying the market, and making many craftsmen unemployed. ”
When the scholars heard this, they were furious, slapped the desk and said angrily: "Their corpses are just vegetarian meals, and they still force others to be in the same league as them?" ”
"I have long felt that the price of paper is too high, how can there be a knife of paper more expensive than doumi? Datang doesn't have this price, and now it's easy for someone to sell cheaper paper, but they still force people to raise prices, isn't this a way for us to read? ”
"Chen Shangshu is also from the Shu clan, he should know that it is not easy for me to study, why do you want to target us so much?"
"Most likely he also has a paper shop in his hand, and the Lin family is blocking other people's way."
"Imperial court officials are not allowed to do business, this is an iron law......"
"Whew, no one obeys the iron law!"
"The Lin clan is in the way of others, but those others want to get in the way of us, we can't just let them succeed."
Lin You saw that the more they talked, the more excited they became, and a few of them had already rolled up their sleeves to protest to the Assassin's Mansion, so he immediately raised his hand and said, "Don't be too excited, my aunt is not muddy and has no temper, so naturally there is a way to deal with it." ”
