Xiangyang is in turmoil, but it has nothing to do with Huangjiazhuang.

Today's Huang family Zhuangzi, but more than 40 households, of which 20 households of the Huang family, the rest are tenants, the total land has nearly 4,000 acres, this land, is the foothold of the Huang family.

Huang Chengyan let the clansmen participate in the paper-making business, as for the distribution of the interests of each family, how many shares to participate in, it is up to him to decide, after all, although he is not the patriarch of the Huang clan in Chuyang, his status is higher than the patriarch. Besides, this paper was made by Huang Yueying, and it is already a matter of looking at the face of the same clan to allow each family to participate in a share. Even Huang Cong's family also gave 700 yuan and a promise of strong labor to get a share.

Of course, each family also got a copy of the deed, and then sent all the money and materials over, because these days, Huang Yueying's family has a lot more money and materials.

"There were sixty-seven thousand two hundred and eighty-one pieces of money, twenty-three horses of silk, and hundreds of stones of millet and grain." Huang Yueying followed Cai's inventory and finished counting the warehouse, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief. The two of them have been busy these days, but fortunately, there are Zhou Yang's wife and daughter at home to help with housework, otherwise they would really be too busy.

"That's one percent." Cai sighed that she hadn't seen so much money for a long time.

Huang Yueying nodded, it has been two months since she came to this era, and she is probably familiar with some rules, for example, the main family lets the tenants work, even if it is not farming, it only needs to pay food, if it is to recruit workers, maybe there is wages, or maybe only food.

In other words, now she has the capital to expand the workshop. As for the architectural drawings of the new workshop, she and her old father have discussed it in the past few nights, and there is no way, both father and daughter are anxious, and they will do it when they think of it.

"Money, it still has to be circulated." Huang Yueying said a word, and then ran to find the old father, the money and food in the early stage are in place, and you can start work first.

……

In early December, the weather is getting colder and colder.

At the edge of the water, at the foot of the green mountains, Huang Yueying was wearing a thick dress, almost wrapped into a little fat cat, watching more than 100 people not far away working in full swing and digging the foundation.

A few days ago, she discussed with her old father and decided to expand the workshop in this idle time, so that the arrangements for the coming year could be more relaxed.

Of course, she was just looking for something to do in the winter.

The winter of this era is really difficult, there is nothing to play, not to mention, and the material conditions are far inferior to the later generations, even food...... It's either hollows or leeks, and there are only a meal of bean sprout leaves, no chili, no chicken essence, no cumin, no Hextech technology...... Not to mention eating beef.

couldn't bear it anymore, she made tofu again, and now Zhou Yang's wife Li makes some tofu every few days...... But she's still going to get tired of it!

If she doesn't go out and stay at home, it will be even more boring, and Cai's wants to teach her to be a female red! It's not that she doesn't learn, she really doesn't have any interest.

"Sister, my mother has been getting better in the past two days, thank you for my sister's fish, pheasants and tofu!"

Huang Cong smiled and looked at his sister, his mother had been cold for a long time, and now he was finally fine, and he finally put his mind at ease, for him, Huang Yueying was like a guiding light.

He also knows that his sister has both talent and virtue, and she will do great things in the future, although she ...... He doesn't know what big things his sister is going to do, but he will definitely learn his skills, but his sister is the first to look forward.

I was about to say something more, but I saw dust on the other side of the river, and there were many people and horses, "Hey, sister, look! ”

Huang Yueying also noticed that such a bunch of people seemed to be from different families. According to the records in the Treasure Book of Travel, Jingzhou during this period was peaceful, so it should not be a thief.

"Sister, there are so many carriages!" Huang Cong looked at the other side enviously, "There seem to be some things in the car." ”

The carriage of this period did not have carriages, at most it was a cloth curtain, a carriage that pulled things, but there was not even a cloth curtain.

There were indeed a lot of things on those carriages, both wooden boxes and it seemed that there was also food.

"Little lady, Xiao Langjun, I'm here from Xiangyang, I don't know if this is the Huang family Zhuangzi?" After a while, a man who looked like a military general dismounted and walked in front of the two small ones.

"Yes." Huang Yueying didn't speak, but Huang Cong nodded, "Who is under the feet?" ”

"How is the Chengyan family going? Zhang Qian, the guard under the account of the state shepherd, was ordered by my lord to send money and grain over and meet Chengyan Gong. Zhang Qian then explained the reason.

"Looking for my father?" Huang Yueying was puzzled, and then asked, "The group of people in the back are too?" ”

"I've seen the little lady." At this time, Zhang Qian knew that the little lady in front of him was a talented woman who made bamboo paper, and he didn't dare to offend, and his tone was much more polite, "Yes, they are all here to find Chengyan Gong, and the lord ordered me to bring more Chu paper back, so that I can send it to the Son of Heaven to ask for credit for the little lady." ”

Huang Yueying was a little confused, this is going to give her credit? Speaking of which, the Son of Heaven in this period ...... It's a mascot who has been imprisoned!

"Chu paper? Uncle, how did they know? ”

"Doesn't the little lady know?"

Huang Yueying shook her head.

"It was Chengyan Gong's handwritten book that was sent to the lord, and I learned that the Cai family, the Pang family, and the Kuai family all sent people over, and the name of the little lady will soon spread all over Jingzhou!" Zhang Qian smiled, the talented woman in front of him was really no more than the age of cardamom, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Chengyan's family has a long history.

Huang Yueying only then understood, no wonder she didn't see Zhou Yang these days, she went to Xiangyang to deliver a letter, it is estimated that her old father is a good show, thinking of this, she is a little helpless, "This path goes straight to the south, and the third household is my house." ”

"Thank you, little lady." Zhang Qian was overjoyed, so he got on his horse and ran forward quickly, and the soldiers and horses in the rear pressed the baggage and hurriedly followed.

Huang Cong saw Zhang Qian who was far away, his eyes were full of envy, he ...... I want to ride a horse, too.

Huang Yueying didn't have this thought, but just carefully observed the equipment of the Jingzhou soldiers.

The soldiers and horses led by this cadre should be considered elite soldiers, after all, this group of people is Liu Biao's guards, but they are all wearing leather armor on their upper bodies, as for the march...... Well, in her opinion, it was procrastinating and disorganized.

Of course, there are not many people who can ride horses, and these soldiers who escort money and grain are infantry, and they must not be able to run off the horses, so the team looks at the drag, but the most important thing is that there are a lot of cars transporting grain, there are more than a dozen, so much grain, what are you transporting?

Huang Yueying was puzzled, but she didn't ask, her old father would handle these things very well, retracted her gaze, she was no longer curious, and then said, "Let's go, let's go find Aunt Li." ”

Li now manages the food for the workers on the site, and today is the first day of work, so she has to go and see it.

……

Huang family, antechamber.

"Gong Cheng Yan, this is a twenty-percent of the money sent by the lord's order, and the money is 200,000. In addition, the lord said that he hadn't seen the little lady for a long time, and brought some gifts to the little lady. Zhang Qian bent down slightly, untied the bamboo tube around his waist, opened it, and handed over a letter and a gift list.

In front of Huang Chengyan, he didn't dare to hold it too big.

Huang Chengyan touched his beard, took the letter and glanced at it, it was full of Liu Biao's nonsense, only the last sentence: If you want to get a thousand pieces of Chu paper, go to the Son of Heaven to ask for credit for Achu.

"Jingsheng has a good appetite, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he has a thousand pieces of bamboo paper?" Huang Chengyan smiled indifferently, he also knew that it would be good to have a hundred of these thousands.

"Ahem, the lord is very fond of Chu paper." Zhang Qian also knew that Chu paper was precious, and a thousand pieces at once...... Good guy, no wonder Liu Biao specially asked him to bring a guard.

Seeing the gift list, 3,000 deniers of corn, 100 pieces of silk, and 10 pieces of jade, I also made a lot of money, but I gave a gift to a child and gave 3,000 stones of corn...... That's a full 36,000 catties.

"These three thousand denier corn?"

"The lord said that if Mr. wants to make Chu paper popular in the world, he needs to expand the workshop as soon as possible, and this corn can be used." Zhang Qian explained.

Huang Chengyan nodded, it is true, if the workshop is to be expanded, money and food must be missing. Of course, he also understands that the 3,000 denier of corn can be regarded as Liu Biao's return for the peach. He gave Chu paper to Liu Biao, not only to achieve the reputation of his daughter, but also to enhance Liu Biao's prestige, and also to give him political achievements, this matter, Liu Biao actually took advantage of it, so he also took it for granted.

Between the big families, it is necessary to calculate clearly, and sometimes, it cannot be calculated so clearly.

"The workshop has begun to expand, you should see it on the way here, I will order someone to go to the workshop later, and then you can bring a thousand pieces of Chu paper back to Xiangyang to restore your life." Huang Chengyan responded to the success, the success of papermaking was the day he first arrived home, and now it has been more than ten days, the workshop produces more than 500 pieces of paper every day, and the stock of 1,000 pieces of paper is still there, "It's just that among the thousands of papers, only 100 pieces of high-grade Chu paper, and the rest are medium bamboo paper." ”

The best bamboo paper is more flexible and delicate, smooth and smooth, but the yield is really not high, often only one out of ten pieces of paper, which is a great test of the experience of craftsmen.

The medium bamboo paper is like the one he brought home on the first day, which is delicate to look at, but in fact it is still not flat enough, but it can also be used for calligraphy and painting, this type of paper is the most produced, and now the number is also the largest.

No matter how bad it is, there are some ...... But they were all put in the toilet by their own daughters.

Thinking of this, he still couldn't help but want to beat his daughter, but in the end, this thing was made by his daughter, and ...... He tried it too, and it was much softer than a piece of wood.

"This ...... The gentleman sent to Xiangyang a few days ago was ......"

"Oh, at that time, the skills were not yet mature, and there was only medium bamboo paper."

"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Qianxin is happy, in this way, his hard work is stable.

Huang Chengyan just waved his hand and went to the back room.
