Entering the city all the way unimpeded, Lin Feng looked strange. In this era of this world, there are no soldiers who block the road to ask for money and find the way.

After finding a reason to ask Wang Rong, he found out the reason, it turned out that Lin Feng had given Wang Rong a waist card before, and this waist card was the road guide, and the soldiers would let people into the city when they saw the waist card. "Master, where are we going first?" Wang Rong asked,

"You are familiar with Qingcheng County, let's go to the boat shop first." Lin Fengji

When he had to enter the city, he saw the river, so he was sure that there must be a wharf or a boat mill in Qingcheng County.

In ancient times, if you wanted to do a good business or make money, a ship was indispensable.

"Okay, sir, sit tight." Wang Rong ordered.

With a cup of tea, the two came to the dock of Qingshan River.

People come and go on the wharf, and many strong men will pack large and small bags of goods

The goods are transported to the ship.

"Wang Rong, go and ask, if you rent a boat to go to Jingshi, how many silver taels will you need." Lin Feng said to Wang Rong beside him.

"Okay, sir, wait a minute." Wang Rong promised.

Soon, Wang Rong came back after inquiring: "Master, these boatmen seem to be colluding well, and the rent for going to Beijing is not less than three hundred taels."

"That's right." Lin Feng nodded, this situation is generally normal, in order to prevent malicious competition, the boatmen will fix the price at a point, and whoever is too high or low will be collectively suppressed.

"It's about seven hundred taels less than my budget, which is not bad." Lin Feng touched his chin.

"Wang Rong, I remember that you used to be a porter in Qingcheng County,

Don't you know a boatman?" Lin Feng looked for it a little

The memory in the lower brain asked.

"Sir, I know a lot, but these boatmen are all of them

Kill the heat, the more the state asks for the price, the more ruthless. The more ripe the sage, the more ruthless the price, "the hand is in the stateless way, and the soil and Song have no more wishes."

"Forget it, let's go first." Lin Feng shook his head, "Where is the master going next?" Take a trip to the blacksmith's shop. "

At the same time, Qingcheng County Yamen.

Chen Baoqing was chatting with a middle-aged man in an official uniform.

This person is Liu Guoshou, the county magistrate of Qingcheng County.

"Chen Yuanwai, it's more difficult for you to do this." Liu Guoshou shook his head slightly.

"According to the normal process, Lin Feng's land should be owned by the government

After repossession, the squires and landlords from all walks of life bid for it, and you are direct

It's not good to come to me, right?" Liu Guoshou's face was a little strange, and his index finger and thumb rubbed in front of Chen Baoqing's eyes.

"Haha, where is this, Brother Liu!" After that, Chen Baoqing ripped off the jade pendant pinned to his waist and put it in Liu Guoshou's hands.

"Brother Liu, you only need to charge more fire consumption when you pay the grain, if Lin Feng can't pay the grain, I will buy it directly from you at the market price, Brother Liu."

Liu Guoshou touched the colorful jade pendant in his hand and coughed lightly.

"Ahem, I know about you."

At this moment, in the blacksmith shop in Qingcheng County.

Lin Feng and Wang Rong stood by the forging furnace and watched as the old master was teaching several apprentices to beat the iron embryo.

Lin Feng looked at the burning forge in front of him and became interested

There's a lot of old dust on the face, which is a good thing.

"Master, can you give us all the dust left over from your forge?" Lin Feng asked.

"What do you want this for?" The old master turned his face and glanced at Lin Feng.

"Recently, there have been a lot of mosquitoes at home, and I want to get more dust to repel insects."

"If you want, I'll give it to you, but a cloth bag with dust

You're going to have to buy it yourself. "The old master didn't think much about it after hearing it, anyway, this

It's useless, and it's better to give it away if you have to clean it up every day.

"Thank you, master, master." Lin Feng said happily.

This dust is not ordinary dust, it is the artifact plant ash, the necessary material for making temperature-resistant forging furnaces and concrete, and it can even be soap!

Lin Feng and Wang Rong quickly filled the two bags. "Thank you, master, I haven't asked the daimyo yet." Lin Feng thanked him again.

"Just call me Niu Tie, and you don't need to thank me, if you really want to thank me, just come to my store often if you want to create something in the future." Niu Tie replied.

"That's certain, Master Niu, then let's leave first." Lin Feng clenched his hands into fists.

Then he took Wang Rong and left the blacksmith shop.

'Master, what do you want this dust to do, do you really want to repel insects?' Wang Rong asked a little puzzled.

"Of course it's not insect repellent, this thing is called plant ash, and it's infinitely useful." Lin Feng shook his head and explained.

The main ingredient of plant ash is potassium nitrate, which can be used as alkali, in the era of extreme lack of alkali ore (it can even be said that Dashun has no alkali ore at all. So this plant ash is one of the ancient artifacts.

"Oh yes." Wang Rong didn't seem to understand it, but he wrote down the word grass ash.

"Wang Rong, let's go to the study shop next, I'm going to buy some paper." Lin Feng thought about it, asked about the price of the boat today, and got the grass and wood ash, and then there was the necessary paper left. "All right, sir."

The study shop is located in the southeast corner of Qingcheng County, and the blacksmith shop belongs to one south and one north.

After half an hour, the two of them came to the door of a shop called "Four Treasures of the Study".

"Shopkeeper, please help get some paper." Lin Feng walked into the store and asked, followed by Wang Rong.

The shopkeeper immediately nodded and said, "Wait a minute, the guest officer will come soon."

I saw the shopkeeper take out three different colors of paper from the counter.

From poor to good, there are three kinds of people, earth, and heaven

The first type is herringbone paper, which is waxy yellow throughout, just like the toilet paper used by people in the early years, but the quality is much worse than toilet paper.

The last two pieces of Tianzi and Earth-written paper are much better than straw paper, but

Still not up to the level of modern white paper,

"Guest officer, please see, this is herringbone paper, suitable for children at home to draw and practice calligraphy, very cheap, only a penny, made of silkworm chrysalis." The shopkeeper introduced.

"The other two are the word heaven and the word earth, and the quality is very different, no

I heard that the latest papermaking technology is used, the quality far exceeds the herringbone paper, and the price will be more expensive: the ground word paper is five cents a piece, and the sky word paper is ten cents a piece. "

Lin Feng carefully looked at the three kinds of paper in front of him, and on the surface, it seemed that he was sifting through the better ones.

In fact, Lin Feng thinks that the papermaking technology of this era is still too low-end, and it is still in the era of using fiber flakes, but this Tianzi paper and Dizi paper have the taste of Cai Lun's papermaking technology, but the technology is not mature, it seems that it is still in the improvement stage, and it is impossible to achieve mass production.

Then Lin Feng thought about it, the upper-class people in this era still used bamboo slips, and couldn't help but chuckle,

"Let's take twenty pieces of this paper first." Lin Feng said to the shopkeeper.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper took out a stack of paper from the counter and tapped it

After a few quantities, one hand to pay and one hand to deliver.

By the time Lin Feng and Wang Rong walked out of the stationery store, they were already here

It's noon, and I should be able to have lunch when I get back now.

Wang Rong was already so hungry that his stomach began to growl. "Wang Rong go home." Lin Feng said to Wang Rong.

"Well, I know, sir!" Wang Rong hurriedly replied.

The two of them rode a horse, and the other held a rope, slowly and leisurely in the direction of home.
