"Broken fishing nets, old foot clothes, rags, kudzu linen...... Tong Su is not bullied, cheap and beautiful! ”

Hu Hai carried a bamboo basket on his back and walked through the street. After meeting the prison door, he took out the copy that had been prepared long ago, and there was Cao Xiu's 'handwriting' document on it.

"What do you want this for?"

The old man looked at Hu Hai puzzled.

"I'm just doing what I'm told."

"It's ...... anyway"

The old man was also unconscious, but he still opened the inner door as instructed. After all, Cao Xiu is a townsman and is in charge of the entire Fengyi, and he is not qualified to stop it at all.

The residential area in the city is very interesting, a bit like the closed community of later generations, called Li Xiang. There are about twenty or thirty families living in it, and the left side is poor and the right side is proud. At the same time, each mile is surrounded by walls, which are about seven feet high.

The inner prison door is a security guard, who is responsible for opening and closing the door every day to prevent fire and theft. If there is a fire and the inner door is burned, it is a dereliction of duty, and you will get a shield!

"Broken fishing nets, old foot clothes, rags, kudzu linen...... Tong Su is not bullied, cheap and beautiful! ”

Hu Hai was not timid, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, and continued to shout along the narrow laneway. This is also Cao Xiu, if he asks for a different person, he will not do this shameful thing.

"Little gentleman, wait!"

At this time, a woman pushed open the curtain of the bad seat, she was the widow of Cao, and she was also the tofu Shih Tzu of Pei County. Her husband was born in the Cao family, but he died on the battlefield early, and he lived an extremely poor life in the past few years. Later, Cao Xiu remembered her hard work and taught her to make tofu with grinding mushrooms. Although the daily life is extremely hard, life is barely good.

"What are you going to do with this?"

"It's the husband's command."

"It turned out to be the meaning of the benefactor."

Widow Cao suddenly realized.

Although she is over thirty years old and her face is full of vicissitudes, her foundation is still okay. The body is plump and bumpy, so there are many suitors.

"Wait a minute, I'll clean up now."

"Done."

Hu Hai nodded immediately.

After a few moments, Widow Cao walked out again. He had several patches of clothing in his hand, as well as some cloth and kudzu. Anyone who has ever worked as a tailor knows that there will definitely be some cloth that cannot be used for normal cutting. For Lu Zuo, these cloth heads can also be used for sewing and mending.

Three years of new and three years of old, and another three years of sewing and mending. Especially if there are several children in the family, a piece of clothing is repaired and changed from the eldest to the eldest.

In order to support Cao Xiu's work, Widow Cao even took out the obscene clothes she was wearing. Although it is a little shabby, it can actually be worn.

"A pound and a penny, I'll weigh you."

Hu Hai took out the scale as he spoke.

Now it is about three dollars per catty, and this recycling price is quite fair. After all, for many wealthy families, like cloth heads are directly lost if they don't look down on them at all.

"No need." Widow Cao shook her head with a smile, "The troublesome little gentleman told the husband that these were Widow Cao's intentions, and I hope she will accept them." ”

"Okay."

Hu Hai didn't know what politeness was.

Seeing that he didn't want money, he left straight away.

Except for him, the entire Pei County is extremely lively. In addition to the subordinates, there are also orphans adopted by Cao Xiu, who are all carrying bamboo baskets and shouting around. Some wealthy Lu right-wing families don't even want money, so they just give it away for nothing.

After all, Cao Xiu is now a man of the year in Pei County. If they collect the money, maybe Cao Xiu will give them small shoes in the future. Like when they were in the service, they were given the busiest spring and autumn seasons, or went to remote areas to do coolies. Don't look at Cao Xiu's official position, but the power in his hands is not small, and the maneuverable space is gone.

……

……

"Collecting second-hand fishnet stockings? Plain obscene clothes? ”

Cao Shen listened to the news reported by his subordinates, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Which bastard thing is this rumor?!

It's clearly about broken fishing nets and foot clothes!

"Don't rush." Xiao He smiled helplessly beside him, "The wise man speaks, and the speaker speaks wisely." The flow of pills stops at the moment, and the rumors stop at the knowers. Shallowness cannot be compared with depth, foolishness is insufficient and knowledgeable. The turtle of Kanjing cannot be compared with the joy of the East China Sea. What Xiu'er does is a big plan, and she doesn't have to worry about fools and surrender her identity. ”

"But these people are too presumptuous!"

Cao Shen couldn't help but stand up.

You know, reputation is also very important at this time.

To crush a person, all it takes is to stir up some gossip. They knew that Cao Xiu was upright, but the people outside didn't know. If these rumors spread to the top, it would be unlucky. Cao Shen once heard that someone was quite talented, but he could not be recommended as an official because of the name of his sister-in-law.

"Soon, they'll understand."

Xiao He held the bamboo slip and looked out the window.

Last year, Cao Xiu mentioned this matter to him. For this reason, he specially cut the bamboo and floated the pond, and also hoarded kudzu mulberry skin. Although he didn't quite understand, after listening to Cao Xiu's description, he knew that this would be a great thing that would go down in history and benefit the community!

So, they started preparing early. Manufacture tools and train craftsmen. Just wait for Cao Xiu's order, and the work can officially start.

After receiving Wang Ben's promise, Cao Xiu informed them that they were ready to start. If the art of papermaking can really be achieved, it will be a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. If it goes well, they can still make money through this, which is simply blood.

Counselor Cao sighed and said softly: "If this matter is successful, Xiu'er may have to leave Pei County with this merit." Thinking back to when he first arrived in Pei County, although he was young, he was extremely determined. I have watched him grow up over the years, and I know how difficult it has been for him to get to where he is today. If you leave suddenly, you are really reluctant. ”

"I'm going to take this step after all."

mentioned this, Xiao He was also very reluctant.

But for the sake of the future, it has to be like this.

"Has Xiao Jun ever thought about going to Xianyang to have a look?"

"Forget it......"

Xiao He refused directly.

He has a good relationship with Cao Xiu, but he can't go to Xianyang with him. As the patriarch of the Xiao family, he is burdened with the fate of hundreds of people and will not leave easily. Not to mention that Cao Xiu is an adult and has the ability to take charge of himself.

Cao Shen was not too surprised.

"What does Cao Jun think?"

"I'm not decided."

"Oh?"

Xiao He couldn't help laughing.

"After all, you still don't worry about Xiu'er."

Cao Shen did not deny it.

Cao's status in Pei County is so high, and he even faintly surpasses Xiao's posture, entirely because of Cao Xiu's contributions. He watched Cao Xiu grow up, and when he saw that he was going to Xianyang for an adventure, he must have been uneasy.

Cao's business has been very good in Pei County over the years, and he has two younger brothers who can also help deal with it. If Xiao He and the others help a little more, they don't have to worry at all.

In addition, he is tired of being the second in 10,000 years.

If you follow Cao Xiu to Xianyang, you may be able to have new opportunities. He prides himself on his outstanding ability, but he has never really contributed to his secret plots over the years, otherwise how could he just be a mere prison?

"Let's go, let's go to the workshop."

"If hemp paper can be made, it will be able to leave a name for eternity!"
