Yang Zhao was in Wuji County and quickly spent eight days.

On the ninth day, Zhen Yan came to find it, saying that the paper was made and asked Yang Zhao to see if it met the requirements.

Again to the workshop.

After eight days of renovation, this is no longer an empty space, everything that should be there is complete, the paper made is put aside to dry, and some is dried.

I don't know if these papers can be used, so the craftsman temporarily stopped working and waited for Yang Zhao to finish checking before deciding whether he could continue.

"What does Brother Yang think?"

Zhen Yan picked up a piece of paper and looked at it.

The improved paper is indeed much better than those Caihou papers, thicker, and should be able to write.

Yang Zhao simply checked it, the paper is still relatively rough, the surface is yellowed, and the technology needs to be optimized, but compared to Caihou paper, I don't know how many times better.

"Brother Zhen write a few words and give it a try." Yang Zhao suggested.

Zhen Yan asked people to send pen and ink and write their names on it.

If it is Caihou paper, the ink falls on the surface of the paper, and the ink may be dissolved, but this kind of paper does not have it, and it can write very smoothly.

Yang Zhao said again: "Print a few words and take a look." ”

In these eight days, the craftsmen also prepared a lot of stamps.

At this time, someone took the printing block, arranged it at will, brushed it with ink and printed it on the paper, and then uncovered it, and those words were printed completely, the handwriting was clear, and it was much more convenient than handwriting.

"It's okay to print it!" Zhen Yan was pleasantly surprised.

In other words, according to Yang Zhao's plan, after a while, their Zhen business name can officially sell books and become popular among the Han people.

They have one more channel to earn.

This revenue channel will not be worse than selling salt.

Seeing that there was no problem with printing, Yang Zhao was very satisfied, put down the paper, and advised: "Your papermaking technology can also be appropriately improved to make the surface smoother, as long as the number of manufacturing increases, the cost will be lower and lower, and the cost of printing a large number of books will be lower." ”

The craftsmen listened and nodded slightly.

Zhen Yan asked, "Can we make a lot of paper and print books?" ”

"As long as Brother Zhen wants to do it, he can do it at any time."

Yang Zhao said: "I don't know how to do it very well, so I can only give some suggestions, and then it's all up to Brother Zhen to grasp." ”

Zhen Yan said: "I know how to grasp it, Brother Yang, don't worry." ”

Papermaking and printing, with the assistance of Zhen, were preliminarily completed.

Yang Zhao will use these as bargaining chips against the family in the future.

Yang Zhao will not intervene in how to make paper and print books, and it has not yet developed into his strategic needs.

Return to the Zhen compound.

They discussed it for a while and decided to return to Beihai tomorrow.

Zhen Yan hurriedly gathered his team and followed Yang Zhao back tomorrow, he attached great importance to the matter of salt making, and he must do it himself, and there can be no negligence.

Dong Bai and Zhen Jiang knew that they could finally go to Beihai, and their hearts flew quickly, and they hurriedly asked their subordinates to pack their things.

A girl's mind is basically extroverted.

Zhen Jiang had long wanted to stay by Yang Zhao's side and was unwilling to be separated again.

Empress Dowager He's mother and son will naturally follow Yang Zhao and go to Beihai together.

The next morning.

The team back to Beihai is almost ready.

"Let's go!" Yang Zhao said loudly.

They left Wuji County in a majestic manner.

After walking for almost half a month, I finally returned to Yingling.

Yingling is not close to the sea, and it is impossible to go directly to the beach to get water to make salt when they just come back, so Zhen Yan and they temporarily rested in Yang's Mansion in Yingling.

Yang Zhao simply placed Zhen Yan and the others, and went to the government office first.

After being away for so long, he had to ask how the internal affairs of Beihai County were at present, and if there were any special circumstances.

"How's the conscription going?"

Yang Zhao was most concerned about the issue of troops.

Jia Xu responded: "10,000 soldiers, all of them have been requisitioned, and they are currently training in the camp outside the city, and there is no problem with food and salary for the time being." ”

Yang Zhao asked again: "What about the fields?" ”

When they arrived in Duchang to save Kong Rong, it was already October.

Yang Zhao got Beihai, and after a while, it was spring ploughing time, and the method of improving the saline-alkali land did not work, and the experiment should begin.

"The fields are being cultivated, and it's working."

Li Ru is mainly responsible for this aspect, and said: "The lord's zigzag plough has a better effect, the soil ploughed out is very deep, and it can be used by only one ox, and the efficiency of reclamation is extremely high, and the people don't know how to pursue it." ”

As long as it's easy to use.

They even promoted the curved plow, and the action was very fast.

Yang Zhao asked again: "Can you see the effect on crops after improvement?" ”

Li Ru shook his head and said: "Now the crops are growing normally, the people can also sow seeds normally, and not only sorghum is planted, but wheat can also survive, but the specific effect will not be seen until the crops grow and the harvest time comes." ”

Tuntian is a long-term plan, and it is not so easy to see the benefits, Yang Zhao temporarily put aside this thought, and asked: "Are there any other difficult problems in the county recently?" ”

They looked at each other and sighed.

This performance indicates that there is a problem.

"What's wrong?" Yang Zhao asked again.

"The problem of the Maison."

Li Ru explained: "There is a Zheng family in Beihai, he is the largest family in the county, he controls most of the fields in Beihai, as well as grain, etc., we want to tun the fields, simple reclamation is not enough, the reason why the ownerless wasteland is ownerless is because it is too barren, and our manure is used on those poor land, and the effect is still not great." ”

Jia Xu reluctantly added: "The fertile and fertile fields in Beihai are basically in the hands of the Zheng family, Wen You and I have been in contact with the Zheng family, hoping that the Zheng family can rent out a part of the land to us at a low price, although the Zheng family did not directly refuse, but the price was sky-high." ”

It's a family again!

Yang Zhao frowned.

Wherever you go, there are families who are against you.

Yang Zhao also knew that he was from a humble background, there was no backstage, and most of his subordinates were from poor families, such as Jia Xu and them, when they went to meet the Zheng family, the other party looked down on them at all.

In the past, the celebrity Kong Rong was in Beihai, and the Zheng family probably didn't dare to say anything.

The family is also a bully and afraid of the hard.

No matter how famous Yang Zhao is, in their opinion, he can still handle it casually.

"This Zheng family, still within the Beihai Sea, deliberately raised the price of grain, although it did not rise much, but it had a certain impact on the people, and it was like a warning, or a threat to us, wanting to kill the prestige of the lord." Jia Xu continued.

Yang Zhao said: "It seems that most of the families in the world want to get along with me, and the little Zheng family is no exception. ”

Li Ru asked, "How is the lord going to deal with the Zheng family?" ”

Yang Zhao thought of the matter of making salt, and said: "It's not in a hurry now, after a while, I will personally visit the Zheng family, and at that time, I can't help but let him not give it." ”

Jia Xu worried: "This will offend the family group." ”

"I've offended a lot of families, and I don't care about adding another Zheng family."

Yang Zhaoman didn't care, now it was enough to maintain the relationship with the Zhen family, and asked, "Do you have any other questions?" ”

They shook their heads, and all other problems were solved, but the problems of the family could not be solved for the time being.
