Zhao Chongyang said: "Don't hide it from your uncle, the paper you are talking about is the new technology paper launched by our Zhaojia Paper Mill this year." Now not only in our Zhaojiazhuang, but also in my uncle's Liujia Village, as well as in our county's Zhu Yucheng's rich family's Zhujia Village, two new big paper mills, I am ready to sell our southern paper to the capital. If you're interested in joining, you can send someone to visit Zhaojia Wharf, where we just installed a pulp-beating water hammer. A water hammer can be used to scoop pulp around the clock, which can reach 50 people, and installing a few more units will expand your current paper mill by five times, and the pulp is enough. After you go to see it, you will know how fast we make paper and how low the cost is. If you want, we will produce the technology and be responsible for the production of pulp, you will produce the raw materials and be responsible for the molding of the paper, and then the two sides will send people to sell, and the profits will each account for 50%, and after a year, I dare to guarantee that only the paper will increase the income of your Zhou family by more than 50,000 yuan. Of course, there are also liquor and spinning and weaving workshops can be joined, and the liquor can be transported to other states and counties with your liquor monopoly certificate, and it should not be a problem to earn another 100,000 yuan. The loom and spinning machine have been changed to the style of our Zhao family, and one loom is equivalent to five old-style machines, what kind of concept is this, you can figure it out if you calculate. This item will add 50,000 yuan to your Zhou family's income a year. That is to say, if your Zhou family is willing to use our Zhao family's technology, I can guarantee that you will increase your income by 200,000 yuan every year, so that they may be on par with the Ma family, Wang family, and Li family in Nanjing.

Regarding Zhao Chongyang's proposal, Zhou Dashan did not express his position immediately, because he was no longer the head of the Zhou family, and he had to discuss the cooperation with the Zhao family and the Liu family, and the head of the Zhou family sent people to Zhaojiazhuang and Zhaojia Wharf to see it on the spot before making a decision.

Zhao Chongyang said he understood his situation. And said that when they went to visit, they brought the eldest sister, and with the eldest sister present, those masters and distributors would tell the truth. If you want to cooperate with us after reading it, you will go to Piaoxiang Restaurant to find Wang Zhennan, the manager and Mr. Qian, and sign the contract after negotiating, you can start to expand the workshop, and how many spinning machines and looms are needed, you must notify the carpenters in several places to Zhaojia Wharf to concentrate on the production, and the Liujiacun Iron Workshop will also make some parts made of steel materials, everything is done, and it can be used when it is assembled in your workshop.

After returning from the Zhou family, Zhao Chongyang received a notice from his family that tomorrow the whole family would hold a family banquet in the Zhao family compound in Zhaojiazhuang, warmly congratulating the three descendants of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family officially entered the Shi clan. Zhao Chongyang invited Huang Fengming to go with him. He told Huang Fengming that he would go back to report the good news to his parents anyway, and it would not be too late to play in Zhaojiazhuang for one more day before going back.

The reason why Zhao Chongyang interacted with Huang Fengming was mainly because he valued his character and talent. With his advantage of being able to enter the top three in the state, it will not be difficult to pass the Jinshi examination after two and a half years. In addition, Huang Fengming's appearance is also good, he thought that the second sister was going to be 16 years old, and it was time to talk about marriage. So I thought of taking Huang Fengming home, letting the two of them meet, and if both parties were willing, let Huang Fengming find a matchmaker to propose marriage.

In the afternoon of the same day, several people took the family boat back to Zhaojiazhuang. At night, the Zhao family's compound was already lit up with lights, and fireworks and cannon sticks began to be set off. Anyway, these two are in mass production in the firearms room, and the Zhao family's firearms room has begun a clear division of labor according to the opinions of the little master Zhao Chongyang. Master Ling Zhuangfei led more than 20 apprentices, mainly responsible for the production of fireworks. And Ling Huan and Lin Zhen are responsible for the research and development of firearms. In this way, the firearms workshop was able to not only break even, but also make a slight surplus.

After a while, the guests from Liujia Village arrived. There is Liu Erye, the helmsman of the Liu family, Zhao Chongyang's eldest uncle, two sisters Liu Qiaoyun and Liu Qiaoling, three brothers Liu Jinlong, Liu Jinbang and Liu Jinkui, and only the second uncle Liu Yubo has not returned for export. After everyone arrived, they first congratulated Zhao Gongzi's parents.

It was night, and the Zhao family compound was carnival all night, and the fireworks were set off until more than two o'clock in the evening. Zhao Chongyang, Zhao Benhua, Zhao Yungui accompanied the people who came to congratulate to drink and chat, although Zhao Chongyang has an adult brain, but no adult body bones, accompanied the guests to chat until midnight, then yawned, everyone then remembered that although he is Xie Yuan, in fact, he is still a child less than ten years old, so let him go to rest......

Early the next morning, Zhao Chongyang woke up at four o'clock in the morning, he practiced internal skills in his room for a while, and then went to the back garden to fight for a while, and then called Huang Fengming, who had just gotten up, to go to breakfast together. Then, Zhao Benhua and Zhao Yungui were called, and the four of them drove the carriage to pick up the family of Chen Yongfu to Zhaojiazhuang to accept everyone's thanks. The so-called drinking water and thinking about the source, the achievements of several of them can be inseparable from Teacher Chen's earnest teachings. So, today they are going to invite their dear teacher to sit in the upper seat......

After coming back yesterday, he told his parents and second sister his idea of letting his second sister entrust her life to Huang Fengming, and they paid special attention to Huang Fengming's speech and demeanor.

And Zhao Chongyang during this time, in front of Huang Fengming, he also consciously or unconsciously mentioned his second sister, as an unmarried young man, of course he knew Zhao Chongyang's intentions. Therefore, this time when he came to the Zhao Mansion, Huang Fengming also took a closer look at the two thousand gold of the Zhao family, who was knowledgeable and gifted. In fact, a few years ago, Huang Qiming often saw Miss Zhao Jiaer. First, since the second miss was five years old, she and Huang Qiming studied in the same private school, and they studied for a total of five years before they continued to study. Soon Zhao Chongyang came to the private school to study again, and the second lady came to pick up her younger brother every day. Therefore, Zhao Chongyang has a very deep affection for his second sister.

I haven't seen Second Sister Zhao for more than a year, and Second Miss is getting more and more beautiful. She is dignified, beautiful, generous, and atmospheric, and has an innate noble and elegant temperament, which makes people feel close at a glance, which is not possessed by ordinary rich daughters.

A woman with this temperament, even if her appearance is only nine points, is more likely to attract men's attention than those women who have a very good look but can only be a man's plaything. Therefore, even if you are more expensive than the emperor and general, you will have a good impression of a woman like Second Sister Zhao. What's more, the appearance of the second lady of Zhao Fufu can score at least 9.5 points, Huang Fengming naturally fell in love at first sight, and was moved, and decided to go home to discuss with his parents, and invite the matchmaker to come and propose marriage while the second sister Zhao has not yet allowed anyone.

After a while, the guests of the Liu family also came to the dining hall for breakfast. His second grandfather, uncle, cousins, and cousins congratulated him again. After eating breakfast, Qiao Ling didn't know how to avoid suspicion, so she took Zhao Chongyang's hand and asked non-stop. Zhao Chongyang took her to set off fireworks, coaxing her to giggle non-stop. Seeing that this pair of children was closer than before, the adults of both families were very happy.

At noon, Zhao Chongyang's eldest brother-in-law, Zhou Daifu, and eldest sister also came with their two daughters and brought valuable congratulatory gifts. After lunch, Zhao Chongyang introduced his brother-in-law to his teacher, hoping that when the school had not yet started, Mr. Chen could give Zhou Daifu some guidance, so that he could rise a few steps in his studies. In this way, Zhou Daifu lived in Zhaojiazhuang for a few days, and went to Teacher Chen every day to ask for teaching. Mr. Chen's guidance in the past few days has benefited Zhou Daifu for life, and it is inseparable from his ability to be reluctantly admitted to Jinshi in the future and obtain the qualification to be born with Jinshi. In order to show respect and gratitude to his teacher, he asked his parents to pay for the expansion of the private school into a school, and the teachers were hired by Teacher Chen, so that children from nearby villages could come to study, and the teacher's monthly money was all taken care of by Zhao Chongyang's family. The monthly income of ordinary teachers is 5 to 10 yuan, the monthly income of famous teachers is 15 yuan, and the monthly income of teacher Chen is 20 yuan. At the same time, on behalf of the Zhao family, Zhao Wuji gave Mr. Chen a 1,000 thank you gift.

After Huang Fengming saw Second Sister Zhao, he was very satisfied and went back that afternoon. On the second day, he and his parents invited Mr. Chen Yongfu as a matchmaker to bring the dowry to Zhao's house to propose marriage.

Since both parties have no opinions, and they are his son's mentor as a matchmaker, this face must definitely be given to Mr. Chen.

Therefore, Zhao Chongyang's parents didn't care about the amount of the dowry at all, and directly agreed to this family business. In this way, Zhao Chongyang officially called Huang Fengming his second brother-in-law, and Zhou Daifu also happily called Huang Fengming his brother-in-law.

Zhao Chongyang knew that the Huang family was not rich, at most it was a well-off family, with only 80 acres of paddy fields and a mountain range. In order to let the second sister live a happy and prosperous life after marrying, he asked Huang Fengming to use the wood from his own mountains as the base money to join the paper mill, and transferred the share of the two floors of the paper mill to his family. Although the Huang family's mountain range is large enough, in addition to providing firewood for his family every year, the wood itself does not care about the money. Therefore, Huangjiashanling does not have a significant income every year. But the Huang family's parents thought that from this year onwards, there might be thousands of incomes every year. Before Huang Fengming's parents woke up from their secret joy, Zhao Gongzi Zhao Chongyang brought them a bigger surprise: "Our Zhaojia Paper Factory is not only our Zhaojiazhuang paper mill, but also includes half of my grandfather's paper mill, as well as half of Zhu Chenggang's paper mill in Zhujiazhuang, the eldest brother-in-law and their Zhoujia paper mill are still negotiating, and half of the negotiation is completed, and the net profit of several paper mills will not be less than 100,000 yuan, and from the end of this year, you will get more than 20,000 yuan of year-end Hongli money every year."

Zhao Chongyang's words not only stunned Huang Fengming's parents, but even Huang Fengming was also excited, and inadvertently, his family was about to enter the ranks of the rich with thousands of family fortunes.

The second sister's marriage is scheduled, and Zhao Chongyang is also ready to go to Nanjing. In three days, Zhao Chongyang and their time to suspend their studies will come. According to the arrangement of the Futi School, the students who have taken the examination will be trained intensively for one year, and then each person can choose to continue to study with the students of the Fuxue according to their own strengths, or they can choose to go out to study around, and go to the capital to participate in the provincial examination after two years.

Before leaving, Zhao Chongyang went to the most mysterious place in the Zhao family's compound to take a look. More than ten days before the Qingming Festival, more than a cent of corn has grown young leaves more than an inch high. The sweet potato seedlings in more than one place have sprouted, and the pepper seedlings in one field are more than two inches high, and they can be transplanted in a few days. This corner is Zhao Congchongyang's plant experiment site, which is managed by two old servants with seven or eight domestic slaves in their fifties, and Zhao Chongyang's second sister and maid Xiaohongsleeve are responsible for technical guidance. Zhao Chongyang wrote down the specific farming techniques on paper and handed them to the second sister, who and the second sister and Red Sleeves guided them in production.

These three plants were brought by Zhao Chongyang when he was seven years old in the Zhao family's shop in Nanjing, where he met a Persian merchant who came to buy silk. At that time, Lianbi asked them if they had peppers, sweet potatoes, corn, and artichokes, and if they did, he brought some seeds, and he was going to buy them at a high price. After talking for a long time, Hu Shang figured out that the first three things in Persia had already been planted, and the artichoke had not yet been seen. A year later, the Wave merchants brought some of each, and it cost 100 pieces of silk before the merchants agreed to exchange. After the first two years of cultivation, this year it is basically possible to plant a large area. In addition to planting more than a cent of corn here, the older house slaves were allowed to open up a few acres of land at Zhaojia Wharf in Nanjing, and a few acres were also planted by the wharf here. Pepper seedlings can be planted more than six acres, and nearly 20 acres of red seedlings can be planted this year, and most of the red seedlings Zhao Chongyang still decided to use ships to plant on the wasteland of Zhaojia Wharf in Nanjing, after all, more than 200 acres of wasteland now occupies more than 50 acres at most.

With chili peppers, bean paste can be scaled up. With corn and sweet potatoes, some barren slopes and beaches where rice cannot be grown can produce grain, and with grain, the scale of brewing wine and feeding pigs can be expanded.

After sorting out the major affairs of the family, Zhao Chongyang and Zhao Benhua, Zhao Yungui and others went to Nanjing by boat.
