Scholars unparalleled

Gong Shouyue didn't care.

"You don't understand. If you want to get rich, you have to build roads first. If the roads are good and the transportation is convenient, the transportation costs will be reduced and trade routes will be opened. How can you trade on such mountain roads?"

Gong Shouyue didn't understand what Lu Chensheng said at all, but felt that it seemed to make sense.

"Ai, Lu Xiucai has come to our village! Come to my house and pour you a glass of water!"

When Lin Shan saw Lu Chensheng, he immediately grinned and walked directly towards Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng quickly waved his hand, "No need, there are still some things to do today, so we can't delay."

Lin Shan could only give up when he heard the words, "I still don't know why Lu Xiucai came to us?"

Lin Shan was a little surprised, the other party was here as a guest, but if something happened, what could happen?

"Of course it's to make money. By the way, do you have a river here?"

"Of course, it's more rapid."

With that said, he took Lu Chensheng to look at the river.

Lu Chensheng was very satisfied when he saw it, "I think the paper in Fufeng City is extremely expensive. If we can produce relatively cheap paper, there is no problem in trying to seize the market."

Lu Chensheng set his sights on the paper, this paper was too expensive, Lu Chensheng felt that if he didn't produce the paper, he would have to spend a lot of money to buy paper in the future.

Chapter 20 Shangsi Festival

"Master Lu just said that making money is making paper?"

Several people looked at each other when they heard the words, and said in a bit of astonishment.

"What's the matter, is there a problem?"

Seeing that the faces of several people were not right, Lu Chensheng asked a little strangely.

"Not to mention the extreme difficulty of making paper, and the cost of manpower and material resources is extremely huge, how can the cost be reduced?"

They naturally know how expensive this paper is.

Because of this, they couldn't afford even one scholar in their village.

"Of course there is a method. If I don't have any skills, I wouldn't say such things. Anyway, how about you try it together?"

Several people looked at each other, hesitated and said, "Since Lu Xiucai said so, I'm willing to give it a try."

After all, they are afraid of being poor. If there is a chance to make money now, they are willing to give it a try.

The most important thing is that the person in front of him is a scholar, and the words of a scholar still carry some weight.

"Well, since this is the case, let's call together the craftsmen in the village to make a living together."

Lin Shan is also the master who does what he says, so he immediately turned his head and told people to go away when he heard the words.

Lu Chensheng turned his head and looked at Gong Shouyue at the side, "In addition, let's discuss the distribution of benefits by the way. I will contribute the technology and you will contribute manpower and material resources. How about I monopolize [-]% of the profits?"

"[-]%? [-]% if you just talk on the sidelines"

Gong Shouyue's expression was a little ugly.

"Can't you say that, this kind of technology can only be controlled by subordinates, and if you have this kind of technology, you can find other people to do it at will.

I know the girl well, so I am willing to cooperate with the girl in such a business. Does the girl think that [-]% is too much? "

The most important thing is that Lu Chensheng found the other party to cooperate with, and the most important thing is that he is somewhat familiar with it. In addition, he was also helped by the other party in Taohuawu, so he wanted to cooperate with the other party.

Gong Shouyue felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, after all, what the other party said seemed to be right.

"You just wait."

After Gong Shouyue finished speaking, she turned around and went to find her sister.

A moment later, Gong Qiongyue appeared in front of Lu Chensheng, and Gong Qiongyue saluted Lu Chensheng very ladylikely.

"My little girl already knows all about what Mr. Lu said, but I don't know if what Mr. Lu said is really feasible? Can you earn a lot of money?"

"Please don't worry, Miss Gong, it shouldn't be a problem to earn a hundred dollars a month."

A hundred taels of silver?

Hearing this, Gong Shouyue's eyes suddenly brightened, with so much money, their village will have nothing to worry about in the future!

"In this way, Qiong Yue complied with this condition."

Lu Chensheng breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded with a smile.

The carpenters were quickly assembled to build a paper mill according to Lu Chensheng's request, and some spare people felled some trees according to Lu Chensheng's request.

Strip the bark, and cut some bamboo out.

In comparison, the paper made from tender bamboo will be more beautiful and durable.

As far as the current technology is concerned, there is no way to use technology to change the level of raw materials.

According to Lu Chensheng's request, in the next period of time, the paper workshop will also be established quickly.

The hydraulic forging by the river was also quickly completed.

Using hydraulic forging to help crush the fibers can greatly reduce the need for manpower and increase the efficiency a lot.

For a while, the whole cottage was busy doing business.

The entire paper mill has already started to operate, and Lu Chensheng has already ordered some requirements, and the next step is to wait for the paper to appear.

At the beginning, a lot of wood was invested in the production, but after the paper mill came out, the cost dropped a lot in an instant. As long as the paper is successfully produced, it can indeed make money.

Lu Chensheng went back to Taohuawu and waited in peace.

Fufeng City.

"Miss, I haven't seen Lu Xiucai come to the city to sell calligraphy and paintings today."

Xiao He spoke softly at the side, and when she finished speaking, she saw a little disappointment in her young lady's eyes.

"Miss, I have already inquired about Lu Xiucai's affairs. Lu Xiucai had a wife, but she passed away due to illness a while ago, almost a few days before we entered the city."

Lin Yu's pretty face suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Is this really true?"

"Well, I heard that Mr. Lu lives by the small river outside the city, which is very close to the avenue where we rested that day. I think the poems floated from Lu Xiucai's residence that day."

When Xiao He said this, her tone paused slightly, and she said something strange in her voice.

"Besides, Xiao He also heard that there are many peach trees planted near Lu Xiucai's residence. It is rumored that Jiuniang likes peach trees, so Lu Xiucai would save money to buy some peach tree seedlings and plant them next to the thatched cottage. "

Planting peach trees every year, blooming when heartbroken....

That's what it means...

Lin Yu's eyes were a bit blurred, she finally understood the meaning of the poem.

This poem is not like what Wang Mohe said, it is only because of thinking about people and seeing things that such poems are written.

This is clearly a poem written by Mr. Lu thinking about people, and written from the bottom of his heart.

It is only through this kind of experience that such sad poems can be written, right?

After a lot of hard work, she finally understood the artistic conception of this poem, but she didn't feel any joy in her heart, only a little bit of distress.

It is probably the saddest thing in the world for a lover to end up not getting married, right?

"Miss, it will be the Shangsi Festival in a few days. Miss Lin's family came to invite me to go to the river outside the city to take a bath."

Exorcising the side bath is a traditional sacrificial activity to eliminate evil spirits during the Shangsi Festival.

After Xiao He finished speaking, seeing her young lady's lack of interest, she immediately pursed her lips and snickered.

"The riverside where Miss Lin and others went is said to be very close to Lu Xiucai's residence."

Lin Yuxiu paused her hands, and her eyes lit up at this moment, "Answer Miss Lin immediately, and I will definitely go to the appointment."

Lin Yu turned her head, seeing Xiao He lowered her head and sniggering, but did not move, she immediately became a little ashamed and angry.

"Miss, don't worry, Xiao He has responded early!"

"Okay, now you even dare to make fun of me, Miss!"

Lin Yu came to her senses, it was clearly Xiao He who was making fun of herself, so she reached out and grabbed Xiao He.

Seeing this, Xiao He immediately backed away with a pale face.

"Miss, Xiao He doesn't dare anymore, Xiao He will definitely create a chance for Miss to meet Mr. Lu!"

"You said it!"

Lin Yu's pretty face was covered with red clouds, and now she got up and covered Xiao He's mouth, but the joy in her eyes betrayed her completely.

The laughter of the two spread far away, and Liu Xiangnan who heard the sound from afar shook his head.

Probably this girl knew that the governor will be here soon, so she was so happy.

After all, the governor was her first teacher.

Chapter 21 Peach Blossom Paper

Shangsi Festival?

Lu Chensheng looked at the fifth day of the lunar new year.

"Yes, the Shangsi Festival is coming, and there will be many talented people going to the river to bathe."

Chu Wu nodded seriously, and responded at this moment.

Lu Chensheng shook his head when he heard the words, "Your son, I'm not that interested, so let's forget about this matter."

Seeing that Lu Chensheng rejected the event on the fifth day of the lunar new year, she was a little discouraged, and she wanted to be able to watch it with the young master.

But since the young master didn't have this idea, she didn't ask for it anymore.

Lu Chensheng picked up the peach blossom saplings he bought on the side, and walked towards the peach blossom forest on the side.

The hoe quickly dug a deep pit on the ground, poured some plant ash into it, stirred it well, and then put the tree roots in.

Then Lu Chensheng began to fill in the soil. After filling the soil, he brought a bucket of water and watered it around.

After the whole process, Lu Chensheng did it himself, without asking Chu Wu to help.

Although Chu Wu didn't understand it very well, he probably knew something about it, so he just watched silently from the sidelines at the moment.

After planting the peach saplings, Lu Chensheng looked left and right at the gap between the peach trees, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go, go back!"

Lu Chensheng walked towards the house with a hoe, and Chu Wu followed behind.

In fact, there is not much distance between the peach blossom forest and the residence, but Chuwu likes to follow.

"Master Lu, the paper is made!"

Just as the two of them entered the room, a big man rushed over with a happy face.

There is also a piece of paper that looks a bit white in the hand.

Lu Chensheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Is the paper out? Quickly bring it to me to have a look."

Hearing the words, the big man didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly handed over the paper in his hand.

Whether this paper is good or not needs to be seen by Lu Chensheng. After all, the other party is the founder of this paper and a scholar.

Lu Chensheng asked Chu Wu to fetch the pen and ink, squeezed the paper lightly, and nodded with some satisfaction. The thickness of the paper is almost the same, which is not bad.

Then he took a look at the rest of the papers.

"This papermaking skill is good, the thickness of the paper is very consistent."

"That is, this kind of work is very simple for us."

Lin Shan immediately replied with a smile when he heard the words.

Lu Chensheng glanced at the other party in surprise. The skill of making paper is very difficult. If you don't have a few years of hard work, you may not be able to get started. The other party actually said it was very simple?

At this time, the fifth day of the lunar new year also brought brush and ink, Lu Chensheng laid out the paper, and wrote on the paper with the brush.

The ink on the paper did not scatter, but followed the traces of the pen, and the words fell on the paper one by one during the extremely eye-catching walk.

Lu Chensheng felt that writing was extremely comfortable, so he wrote it down.
