Traveling through the barren years, I have a system and am not afraid of anything
Chapter 89 Not enough manpower
Looking at Tian Tian running in front with his short legs, the boss felt that he had been tricked, and then he thought it was impossible.
"Brother Village Chief! Brother Village Chief!"
He couldn't do it when he was small. Tian Tian couldn't run after only a few steps, so he pulled his neck and started shouting.
The crisp children's voice made the busy people of Tianjia Village quickly stop what they were doing.
"Auntie, are you looking for the village chief?"
Almost every courtyard door was opened, but only women came out.
"Well, someone is looking for the village chief. Have your clothes been prepared? You need to hurry up, it may snow in the next two days!"
That's what the weather forecast said.
"Yeah, sister-in-law, please slow down, someone is looking for the village chief, please go slowly and don't be in a hurry!"
The boss and shopkeeper Liu were a little confused. The little dumpling in front seemed to have a very high status in this village, but how high could a child be?
"Who is it? Who is looking for me? You let my Tuanzi work as an errand boy. Where is Liuzi? Is he dead?"
Before the old village chief arrived, his cursing voice had already spread throughout the village.
“Brother Village Chief, it’s the one that sells more expensively!”
Tian Tian would never forget the name of the store, and she wasn't really three years old.
"Little ancestor, don't run away! Whether his love is precious or not, you must not fall!"
Dahu came here carrying the old village chief on his back. They are all busy at the papermaking side now.
Leaving the old village chief behind, Dahu picked up Tian Tian and carried her directly on his neck.
"Are you the shop that sells expensive ink? What are you doing in our village?"
The old village chief really didn't know what his name was, so he just remembered that Tian Tian said everything was expensive!
"Ahem, I am the owner of Shuxiang Mogui. My surname is Cao. I am Cao Youde. I want to talk to the village chief about the paper!"
Cao Youde felt that everything in Tianjiacun was weird.
"Buying paper? Doesn't your family sell paper?"
There have been a lot of people coming to buy paper recently, and it’s Master Ba who’s been waiting for them. The old village chief knows nothing about these things.
"Yes, the paper made in your village is very good. I plan to acquire your village's papermaking technology. You can set the price as you like!"
Cao Youde went straight to the point. He saw that the old village chief was an old man from the countryside, and he planned to use money to knock him out.
"What? Are you thinking about my family's papermaking skills? Fight out!"
The old village chief was counting on paper-making technology to help Tianjia Village get out of the ranks of mud-legged people. Now that he heard that someone was thinking about their paper-making technology, his eyes turned red.
"Who? Who cares about our papermaking skills?"
The originally quiet village suddenly became lively, and Cao Youde and Shopkeeper Liu didn't know where these people came from.
The key is that the two of them were surrounded by a group of local dogs~
"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. I want to buy your paper-making technology. It doesn't matter how much it costs, you just make a price!"
Cao Youde still thought that the people in Tianjiacun would sell him the papermaking technology without hesitation when they heard about the money.
"How much does it cost? I won't sell it for any amount of money!"
The old village chief was so angry that he wanted to beat Tian Liuzi to death. He really wanted to let everyone into the village!
"Think about it, papermaking in your hands only produces a small amount of paper every day, but it's different in my hands. I can make it flourish in Daqi!"
"Do you know what papermaking means? Being buried in the small Tianjia Village is a loss to the country! If the court knew about it~"
Cao Youde's name was not chosen well. He should be called Cao Quede. This guy is not honest even in coaxing and deceiving.
"According to your opinion, if we don't sell our papermaking technology to you, will we still be guilty? Will we still be imprisoned?"
Mr. Ba's face was gloomy, and the businessman was looking for profit. He came here because of the smell.
"That's not what you said. As long as you sell me the papermaking technology, you will have done a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Maybe there will be a reward from the court!"
Tian Tian didn’t know how Master Ba negotiated with Cao Youde. Anyway, when he left, he was dejected, but Tianjiacun had a few more big orders.
"It's actually related to King Wu. This small mountain village is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"
Cao Youde was still frightened while sitting in the carriage, and almost ruined the situation. Fortunately, he didn't use any crooked means.
"Everything in Tianjia Village is weird, and they even have tigers!"
Shopkeeper Liu’s legs still don’t work!
He was afraid of angering the people in Tianjia Village and having the tiger bite him to death, so he never dared to speak.
When Cao Youde's carriage left Tianjia Village, the Tian family held a village meeting.
"You know the value of papermaking even if I don't tell you!"
If Master Ba hadn't taken advantage of King Wu's identity just now, Cao Youde wouldn't have been dismissed so easily.
"Master Ba, we really don't understand. Isn't paper expensive?"
People in Tianjia Village only know that paper is expensive, pens are expensive, and everything else is expensive.
Mr. Ba was so reviled that he couldn't go on. Some differences could not be evened out in three or two days. Although the people in Tianjia Village were much better than the people in other villages, they were still ordinary people.
The people are too kind, and some things still need to seep in slowly.
"Yes, paper is very expensive. Knowing that our family can make paper, there will definitely be many people interested in our paper-making skills!"
Today it is Cao Youde, tomorrow it may be someone else.
"Yes, they are bad people, they use means to rob and plunder!"
Master Ba only thought that someone was thinking about papermaking, but he didn't expect those so-called conspiracies. When Tian Tian reminded him, he broke out in a cold sweat.
The common man is innocent of the crime of harboring a jade. Now they are like a child who suddenly got a gold ingot. It is a good thing but also a fatal thing.
"Yes, Tuanzi is right. There are too many bad people out there. You must keep your mouths tightly shut. Papermaking skills must not be spread to outsiders!"
The old village chief had foresight and explained the importance to everyone involved in papermaking in the village, but what he was doing was hindering the women in the village.
"Don't worry, village chief. Our papermaking skills are passed down from male to female. We are all from the Tian family and we won't even say it to death!"
Knowing that papermaking was valuable, the men involved in papermaking in the Tian family wanted to sew their mouths shut.
The old village chief glanced at Da Zhuang. Although it was difficult for him to communicate with his small stutter, he was really serious and no one would worry about him.
The village was redeployed again, and Master Ba arranged Cao Youde's order.
"This is the last batch of paper made this year!"
Papermaking in Tianjiacun is still done in the open air, without even a shelter, and Master Ba is afraid that someone will peek in.
"Why don't you make more?"
Tian Quanyou was very interested in papermaking and very talented. He made the first piece of paper in Tianjiacun.
"If you want to mass produce, you have to do what Tuanzi said, build factories and recruit people!"
Only the 100 people in Tianjia Village are really busy.
"How can we recruit people if we can't leak the recipe for making paper?"
Tian Quanyou also knew that there were not enough manpower.
Although Tianjia Village has 43 households with over 300 people, excluding the elderly and children, there are only so many people who can work.
The ground is a root and must be planted, and papermaking cannot be delayed. Although they made some money, they were still not close to buying people.
