Southland, Slang

The people tied up the dried and sorted paper, put it in a basket woven by vines, and then placed the rattan baskets on either side of the elephant.

When all the goods were arranged, Xian Yi set off with a few young and clever young men of the slang tribe, and they drove the elephant herd carrying the goods outside.

The clansmen watched them out with smiles on their faces.

"This time, more than 12,000 catties were shipped."

Every time they shipped, they brought the elephants with them, and the people were not tired.

"I heard that the three counties in the south like our two kinds of paper very much, and the ones we sent are not enough to sell."

"Who wouldn't love that? It's cheap and easy to use. ”

Toilet paper is a bundle of three pennies, a bundle is a knife, a knife a hundred sheets. A piece of toilet paper is very thick, and the last time you go to the toilet, you can basically take a piece of toilet paper to solve it.

In addition to toilet paper, there is also green knife paper. Green knife paper is for women in those days, because of the addition of herbs to boil, it is more expensive than toilet paper.

"Our days are getting better and better."

"It's the master who the second uncle defected to."

"Indeed." Sugarcane can only be harvested at the end of the year, and it is made into sugar to sell for money, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it is too long, and the second uncle sent them back to make a living.

They made these two pieces of paper two months ago, and they made a lot of money selling toilet paper and green knife paper.

Then, with this money, he exchanged a lot of living materials in the city, and the life of the tribe has been greatly improved.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. They like this, they work with their own hands to earn money, so steady.

"The last time Ah Ming came back, he looked very good, and he felt very different from before. I hope that next time the chief will send someone to Pingzhou, my family can be selected. The woman who spoke looked yearning.

"Haha, that's what I thought too."

The chief was walking around with his hands behind his back when he heard the people talking. He paused in his footsteps, and instead of continuing on, he turned a corner and walked another way to continue walking.

Xian Yi took his tribesmen and elephants to the designated trading point, and they did not enter the city, but they had been trading outside the city for two or three months.

At this time, the buyer Li San was already waiting there.

Mr. Li is a small trader who runs a grocery store in the city, and since last year's floods, his shop has been lukewarm. When he was worrying about how to get the business of the shop up, he overheard a mother and daughter complaining that there was no toilet paper and toilet paper to sell in the south, and that many ordinary people in Yangzhou next door used it, but there was no in the south.

At that time, he paid attention.

Later, he went to Yangzhou to inquire about these two kinds of paper and bought some. He took some of the two pieces of paper home, and sold the rest in the shop. Unexpectedly, his family praised these two kinds of paper for being easy to use, and it was sold out not long after he put it in the shop, and then people kept asking him when he would put on some more toilet paper and toilet paper.

Li San has used toilet paper, and he understands the thoughts of these people very well, isn't it a matter of eating two or three eggs less a month? But it's convenient for the family.

At that time, he was happy and sad, he wanted goods, he wanted a lot of goods! But if you go to Yangzhou to buy goods, the cost will become higher, and the other party will not be able to supply the amount he wants.

At this moment, he found that there were people in the south who were selling these two kinds of paper on the street, and he was overjoyed!

Since then, the two sides have been cooperating until now. The slang clan averaged more than 10,000 catties of goods a day, all of which were eaten by him.

A few months passed, and he also made a lot of money.

Li San asked people to count the goods and settle with Xian Yi. Give them the materials they asked for first, and then settle the rest with money.

"When will the next shipment be delivered?"

"I can't say for sure, I'll have someone greet you in advance when it's in stock." Xian Yi didn't give a word.

When the tribesmen brought back the paper-making method from Pingzhou, they hinted that this business should be done as soon as possible, and it may not be easy to do after the autumn harvest.

"Okay."

The two parties settled the payment and left back to back.

At this time, Xie Nan also came to the Lujia Paper Mill. When the others came in, they went straight to the master.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I approached, I heard a few little masters complaining to the master masters.

"The people up there actually asked us to make toilet paper?"

"Why, didn't you ask me to make toilet paper for the past few days?"

"It's insulting!" Their paper mill produces high-grade paper like silver paper, how could it have been so low.

"That toilet paper sells for three pennies and a knife, what is the profit of being so cheap?"

Hearing this, Xie Nan couldn't bear it anymore, "Let's take a look at this first!" As he spoke, he slapped the paper on the table next to him.

The master took the paper casually, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became.

Xie Nan admired the change in their faces, before they suggested that the Lu family's paper mill make these two kinds of paper, the master and the masters were full of displeasure.

Now seeing this kind of thing they don't look down on making money so much, the master shut up.

Xie Nan was relieved, did these people pay off their salaries?

Pingzhou

The autumn is high and cool, and in the whole of Pingzhou, all the rice in the field has bent down and turned into a golden piece, which is ready to be harvested.

This time for the autumn harvest, the soldiers of the military camp also came to help.

Almost the entire Pingzhou, except for the old and weak, women and children, participated, and many people picked up the new-style sickle in their hands, and when they waved it, a large piece fell.

Then there is the foot threshing machine, two or three units, which are trampled by these men.

The beaten millet is quickly transported to the dam and spread out on the floor to dry.

The rice stalks were tied up into scarecrows by the diligent women and laid in the ground to dry.

With such a big move in Pingzhou, Xianbei naturally knew about it.

Many of them were about to move, but they were pressed, "Wait, wait for them to dry the grain for us." ”

"Yes."

During the autumn harvest, Lu Desheng personally told the people about taxes.

Hearing that they would have to pay an extra tax of two catties and seven taels per mu of land, the people trusted Lu Desheng, so they had no opinion. The main reason is that Pingzhou has really had a bumper harvest this year, and a lot of grain has been harvested per acre. Lord Lu said that he wanted to hand over a little more to the court, so let's pay it.

Lu Desheng looked at the people with their heads up, staring at him, and their faces trusting him were full of confidence, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

The common people make a living from farming, and every household has land, and twenty or thirty acres is not much. If you pay taxes according to the standard of 400 catties per mu, if you have 10 acres of land at home, you will have to pay an extra 27 catties of grain.

In a disaster year, these twenty or thirty catties of grain can not only save a person's life, but sometimes they can marry a daughter-in-law.

But the plan has to go ahead.
