In the study, Huang Chengyan pondered, he knew that water power is one of the great forces of heaven and earth, but now it is a challenge for him to replace manpower with water power in the papermaking process.

However, he enjoyed the challenge.

The Four Books and Five Classics taught him the principles of being a human being, but these miscellaneous book craftsman skills can open up another new world and allow him to better practice the benevolence in his heart.

I lit several oil lamps, and the light was not dim.

Huang Yueying didn't bother the old father, she could be smart, but not too demonic, so her thoughts turned to other things.

For her, a descendant of the world, the dim light of the oil lamp was still a little unbearable. Coming to such an old era, life is inconvenient everywhere, and she doesn't miss the afterlife, that's fake, but if you want to say that there is a special nostalgia, it is probably still missing the freedom and convenience of life, but she knows that nostalgia is useless.

Fortunately, she did not cross the cold gate.

The Huang clan of Chuyang was erected by her grandfather, that is, her old father's father, and several brothers of her grandfather came with her at that time, but only her grandfather was out of office in Chuyang, and the official went to the county, so this branch was erected, and it was later recognized by the main branch of Xiangyang.

In Huang Chengyan's generation, almost none of the Huang family can fight, but Huang Chengyan became famous not long after studying abroad, and countless talented people lost to him, so year after year, his prestige grew. The strong man is naturally respected, and because of this, although the old father is not the head of the Huang family, he is almost the honorary head of the Huang family, and the main branch of the Xiangyang side, there is no way at all.

But from the old father's point of view, although the Xiangyang Huang family is of the same clan as him, it is obvious that the relationship is quite far away, so the bamboo paper part, the Xiangyang Huang family has to share a share with the rest of the families in Jingzhou.

Tsk, the old father said that he was in seclusion, but in fact, his words and deeds can affect many people.

After that, the more things she has to do, the more busy the old father will be, and their family can't run away from this whirlpool.

"Father, the bearing of the overturned car can be rotated, what if the bearing is longer? What about the workshop from one end to the shore? Seeing that the old father was still looking at the drawings of the waterwheel, he opened his mouth and pointed his finger at it.

Huang Chengyan's eyes lit up, "It makes sense." ”

Then, try to start perfecting.

……

Early the next morning, Huang Chengyan had already written a letter with bamboo paper, and ordered the servant Zhou Yang to send it to various families in Xiangyang.

As for Huang Yueying, after breakfast, she called Huang Cong again, since the old father is back, she should have fun, a child, she has to look like a child.

"Sister, yesterday my aunt gave me a roll of bamboo paper, and after taking it home, my father was very excited." Huang Cong looked at Huang Yueying with admiration, although this sister was not much taller than him.

"What does your father think?"

"Father said that although there are still flaws, it is better than Cai Hou's paper." Huang Congle said, "I heard that the cost should not be high, and I said that I would visit my uncle today." ”

Huang Yueying nodded, "Have you used it?" ”

"Father won't let me use ......" Huang Cong was aggrieved, and what he brought back was also what he had run with Huang Yueying for so long, without merit, and with hard work, as a result, he could only touch it, not write it.

Huang Yueying: ......

"I'll go to the workshop today and get some more, so don't let your father know." Although she was a little speechless, she also knew that these papers were really not too valuable.

"Thank you, sister!" Huang Cong was happy.

Huang Yueying also smiled, it's still a child, it's so good.

This is a troubled time, although she is a woman, but from the next generation, she naturally has the idea of making contributions, then develop first, even if she develops well, it will not be wasted.

Through the third article of the treasure book: build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.

Now that she has made up her mind to bring the light of the new era to this chaotic old era, she has to take it one step at a time.

Today she went out to play on the one hand, and on the other hand, to see where it was appropriate to build a larger workshop. The old father only perfected half of the idea yesterday, and it is estimated that she still has to rush to work today, so she will not go to join in the fun, for the old father, it is not a difficult thing.

Then he stood on the bank of the river, and looked to the south, and in the more southerly place, was Jiaozhou, which governed Guangdong, Guangxi, and northern and central Vietnam, and governed Panyu. Although the climate is hot, it is a natural choice for many plants.

Besides, the sugarcane grown there is something, but it is an important step in sugar production, and she can eat a lot of seafood by the sea, if she has the opportunity, she will go there.

However, at least we have to wait until we are stronger, no matter what era, the body is the capital of the revolution. Besides, she wouldn't have traveled far without enough weapons.

Jingzhou has many water systems and abundant resources, and it is enough to change the world if they are really used.

"Erniang is here?" When they arrived at the workshop, Song Bo and others greeted them warmly.

The temperature in the workshop is not high, and it is now late November, but this group of people is still Mai straw shoes, Huang Cong's feet are also straw shoes, and the cloth shoes on her feet are not warm, let alone this group of people.

Productivity still needs to be improved.

It can be said that the upper limit of an era is determined by its productive forces.

"Uncle Song." Huang Yueying smiled and nodded, seeing that the two of them were not there, she asked, "Going to cut Hsinchu again?" ”

"Yes, Lang Jun was so happy yesterday, Erniang asked us for credit again, today is naturally to work hard, today, let Lao Zhang take our mother-in-law and half-grown sons, all to cut Hsinchu." Song Bo opened his mouth to explain.

The Lord treats them well, and they will naturally reciprocate. In Huangjiazhuang, the life of their tenants is much better than in other places. Yesterday, each family received an extra 50 catties of corn, of course, they have to do a little more work.

Huang Yueying was stunned, helpless, in this era, most of the people are more sincere, if you are good to him, he will be better to you......

"Uncle Song, it's as cold as today."

"Erniang don't have to worry, the heavy rain in the past few months, the bamboo shoots are everywhere in the mountains, and now after these months, a lot of new bamboo has grown." Song Bo laughed, "They won't make a mistake, and Lao Zhang brought them, not only knives, but also bows, no matter what, they all have the power to protect themselves." ”

Seeing this, Huang Yueying didn't say anything more. They are very simple, and they know that they need their labor to live with enough food and drink, but she really doesn't want to be a black-hearted capitalist!

"The workshop will definitely be expanded, Uncle Song, you will memorize and practice the papermaking process, and you will need to take an apprentice at that time." Yes, this group of people will be masters of papermaking in the future.

"Okay." Song Bo responded with a smile, and then was embarrassed, "The matter of farming ......"

"Don't worry, I will discuss this matter with my father, and I can recruit more tenants or helpers at that time." Huang Yueying waved her hand, the expansion is a matter of the coming year, and spring ploughing is also a matter of the coming year.

……

Five days later, Xiangyang, the state pastoral mansion, the main hall.

Liu Biao, who had been born in Huafa, knelt on the throne and listened to his civil and military subordinates tell him about the big and small matters of these days.

"Lord, this year's autumn harvest has ended, and the autumn grain from all over the country has also arrived in Xiangyang, and now the new grain in the treasury has arrived, and the lord is now collecting Lingling and Guiyang in the south, and a batch of grain is needed for the aftermath." Below, an elegant middle-aged man knelt behind his desk and spoke to Liu Biao above.

"Then transport some of them, Zirou, Lingling and Guiyang will be the top priority in the spring ploughing of the next year, and we must not slack off." Liu Biao nodded in response, Kuai Liang did things, he has always been relieved, but he still needs to point it out, so as not to let others not look long.

"No."

"My lord, there is a letter from the Duke of Chengyan." At this point, an attendant came in to report.

Liu Biao was a little surprised, and then waved his hand, "Bring it in." ”

Although Huang Chengyan was a brother-in-law with him, he rarely exchanged letters with him, so he was surprised.

"No."

After a while, Zhou Yang saluted Liu Biao, "The villain Zhou Yang has seen Lord Zhoumu. ”

Then handed over a bamboo knot, inside the bamboo knot, it was naturally Huang Chengyan's letter, and the attendant on the side took it, and then handed it to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao opened the bamboo tube and saw a white cloth? When I got it in my hand, my fingers rubbed slightly, not cloth, but paper? Only then did Liu Biao realize that this feel seemed to be paper.

What paper!

Unfolding the letter, there is only one sentence in the letter: How does the Chu paper made by Achu compare with Cai Hou's paper?

Liu Biao stood up in surprise, and then carefully looked at it, white and snowy, looking at Huang Chengyan's handwriting, the ink did not disperse, and there was a fragrant smell.

Thinking like this, Liu Biao also sniffed it, and then smiled, his brother-in-law was a little interesting, so he smiled, "Chengyan has Yaxing, this is an improvement of Caihou paper?" ”

"Zhou Mu guessed wrong, this new paper, the head of the family named Chu paper, is made by my little lady." Zhou Yang then explained.

"Your little lady?" Liu Biao thought about it, yes, the letter said that it was made by Achu, and he really didn't react just now, "Achu? ”

"Exactly." Zhou Yang bent down slightly, although he came to deliver the letter, he also listened to the instructions of the master and came to make a name for his little lady.

"Chu, the ancient name of Jingzhou, and the name of your little lady?" Liu Biao smiled and shook his head helplessly, "The name of Chengyan Gong is excellent!" ”

Yes, it is very good, once this Chu paper is sold in other states, their reputation in Jingzhou will immediately rise to a new height. Below, Kuai Liang and his younger brother Kuai Yue glanced at each other, obviously, they both thought of the same place.

"What the governor said is that the head of the family has not slept all night because of this name. The head of the family said, Chu paper, should be the world. ”

Zhou Yang's words fell, and some of the major officials in the hall couldn't sit still.

"My lord, humble and presumptuous, can you borrow a letter to take a look?" Cai Mao looked at his brother-in-law at this time, he was still quite curious about what kind of paper Achu made.

"Yes." Liu Biao was also polite.

Subsequently, a small letter from Huang Chengyan was circulated in the hands of various officials in the hall.

"Shhh It is indeed delicate and smooth, and it is better than Cai Hou paper! ”

"More than that, and white as snow! How to do it! ”

"This little lady of the Huang family is really a strange person! By the way, how old is she now? ”

"Twelve?"

"The military advisor laughed! Do you mean that this Chu paper was made by a twelve-year-old girl? ”

Someone didn't believe it and looked at Cai Mao.

After circulating Huang Chengyan's letters, the officials naturally knew that if this paper could maintain such quality, as long as the output could keep up, Zhu Jian would be able to retire in the future!

This is a good thing for readers!

Therefore, when this group of people knew Huang Yueying's age, there were many doubters.
