My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 6 6. Collecting money (please ask for various tickets)

Xiangyang is in trouble, but it has nothing to do with Huangjiazhuang.

Today's Huangjiazhuangzi has only more than 40 households, including [-] households of the Huang family, and the rest are tenants. The total land property is nearly [-] mu. This piece of land is the foothold of the Huang family in Mianyang.

Huang Chengyan let the clansmen participate in the paper-making business. As for the distribution of interests and how many shares to participate in, he decided with one word. After all, although he is not the patriarch of the Huang family in Mianyang, his status is higher than the patriarch.Besides, this paper was made by Huang Yueying, so each family can participate in a share, which is already looking at the face of the same family.Even Huang Cong's family paid [-] yuan and a promise of a strong labor force to get a share.

Of course, each family also obtained the contract of membership, and then sent all the money and materials over. Therefore, these days, the money and materials in Huang Yueying's family have increased a lot.

"A total of 280 pieces of money, 23 pieces of silk, hundreds of stones each of millet and grain." Huang Yueying followed Cai after checking the warehouse, and she breathed a sigh of relief.The two of them have been very busy these past few days. Fortunately, there are Zhou Yang's wife and daughter at home to help with housework, otherwise they would really be overwhelmed.

"This is [-]%." Cai sighed, she hadn't seen so much money for a long time.

Huang Yueying nodded. She has been in this era for two months, and she is probably familiar with some rules. For example, if the host family asks the tenants to work, even if it is not farming, they only need to pay for food. If they are recruiting workers, maybe There are wages, or maybe only food.

In other words, she now has the capital to expand the workshop.As for the architectural drawings of the new workshop, she and her old father had discussed it in the past few nights.

"Money, it still needs to be circulated." Huang Yueying said, and then ran to find her old father. The money and food in the early stage were in place, so they could start working first.

……

In early December, the weather is getting colder and colder.

By the Mian River, at the foot of the green hills, Huang Yueying was dressed so thickly that she was almost wrapped up like a chubby cat. Not far away, more than a hundred people were working enthusiastically, digging the foundation.

A few days ago, she discussed with her old father and decided to expand the workshop first in this slack season, so that the arrangements for the coming year can be more relaxed.

Of course, she was purely looking for something to do in winter.

The winter in this era is really hard, not to mention nothing to play, and the material conditions are far inferior to those of later generations, just eat... either mallow or leeks, and occasionally a meal of bean sprouts leaves, no peppers, no chicken essence , no cumin, no hextech... let alone beef.

Unable to bear it any longer, she made tofu again. Now Zhou Yang's wife, Mrs. Li, makes some tofu every few days...but she still gets tired of it!
If you don't go out and stay at home, it will be even more boring. Mrs. Cai wants to teach her how to be a female celebrity!It's not that she doesn't study, she really has no interest.

"Sister, my mother has recovered from the cold these past two days. I would like to thank my sister for the fish, wild pheasant and tofu!"

Huang Cong smiled and looked at his elder sister. His mother had been suffering from a cold for a long time, but now she is finally recovering, and he is finally relieved. To him, Huang Yueying is like a guiding light.

He also knows that his elder sister has both talents and virtues, and she will do big things in the future. Although...he doesn't know what big things his own sister is going to do, but he will definitely learn the skills, and only elder sister will follow suit.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw dust everywhere on the other side of the river, and there were a lot of people, "Hey, sister, look!"

Huang Yueying also noticed that such a group of people seemed to belong to different families.According to the records in the Time Traveling Collection, Jingzhou was peaceful during this period, so it shouldn't be any bandits.

"Sister, there are so many carriages!" Huang Cong looked at the opposite side enviously, "It seems that there are some things on the carriages."

The carriages of this period did not have carriages, at most they were cloth curtains, and the carriages for pulling things did not even have cloth curtains.

There were indeed a lot of things on those carriages, including wooden boxes and food.

"Little lady, little man, I came from Xiangyang, I don't know if this is Huang's village?" Not long after, a man with the appearance of a general got off his horse and walked up to the two little ones.

"Yes." Huang Yueying didn't speak, but Huang Cong nodded, "Who is here?"

"How is Duke Chengyan's family going? I am Zhang Gan, the guard under the Jingzhou pastoral tent. On the order of my lord, I will send money and food, and pay homage to Duke Chengyan." Zhang Gan then explained the reason.

"Looking for my father?" Huang Yueying was puzzled, and then asked, "The same group of people behind?"

"I've seen the little lady." At this moment, Zhang Gan knew that the little lady in front of him was a talented woman who made bamboo paper, so he didn't dare to offend her, and his tone was more polite, "Yes, they are all here to find Cheng Yangong. Yes, my lord ordered me to bring back more Chu papers, so that I can send them to the emperor and ask for credit for the little lady."

Huang Yueying was a little confused, is this going to give her credit?Speaking of which, the Son of Heaven in this period... is also a mascot who was imprisoned!
"Chu paper? Uncle how did they know?"

"Don't you know, little lady?"

Huang Yueying shook her head.

"It was Cheng Yangong who sent the handwriting to the master. I just learned that the Cai family, the Pang family, and the Kuai family have all sent people here. The name of the young lady will soon spread throughout Jingzhou!" This talented woman is really not yet young, and she can't help but sigh in her heart, Cheng Yangong's family has a long history.

Only then did Huang Yueying understand, no wonder I haven't seen Zhou Yang these days, so she went to Xiangyang to deliver a letter, probably her old father was showing off, thinking of this, she felt helpless, "This path goes straight to the south, and the third household on the right is I'm home."

"Thank you, little lady." Zhang Gan was overjoyed, got on his horse, and ran forward quickly. The soldiers and horses in the rear were pressing down on the baggage, and quickly followed.

Seeing Zhang Qian going away, Huang Cong's eyes were full of envy. He... also wants to ride a horse.

Huang Yueying didn't have this thought, but carefully observed the equipment of Jingzhou soldiers.

The soldiers and horses in this belt should be regarded as elite soldiers. After all, these people are Liu Biao's guards, but they are all wearing upper body leather armor. As for the march...well, in her opinion, they are procrastinating and disorganized.

Of course, there are not many people who can ride horses. The soldiers escorting money and food are all infantry, and they must not be able to run horses, so the team seems to be slow, but the most important thing is that there are a lot of vehicles for transporting food. There are more than a dozen vehicles. Food, what are you transporting for?
Huang Yueying was puzzled, but she didn't ask. Her old father would handle these things very well. Looking away, she didn't get curious anymore, and then said, "Let's go, let's go find Aunt Li."

Mrs. Li is now managing the meals of the workers on the construction site. Today is the first day of work, so she has to go and see.

……

The Huang family, the front hall.

"Cheng Yangong, this is a second child sent by the lord's humble order. The money is 20. In addition, the lord said that he hasn't seen the young lady for a long time, so he brought some gifts for the young lady. I hope you don't want to refuse." Zhang Gan slightly bent waist, untied the bamboo tube at the waist, opened it, and handed over a letter and a gift list.

In front of Huang Chengyan, he didn't dare to be too big.

Huang Chengyan stroked his beard, took a look at the letter, it was full of Liu Biao's nonsense, except for the last sentence: If you want to get a thousand pieces of Chu paper, please go to the emperor to ask for credit for Ah Chu.

"Jing Sheng has a good appetite, and the first thing he opened his mouth was a thousand pieces of bamboo paper?" Huang Chengyan smiled indifferently, and he also knew that it would be good to have a hundred of the thousand pieces.

"Cough, my lord loves Chu paper very much." Zhang Qian also knew that Chu paper was precious, so he bought a thousand papers at once... Good guy, no wonder Liu Biao specially asked him to bring a song guard.

Looking at the gift list, there are three thousand deniers of corn, one hundred bolts of silk, and ten pieces of jade, which is a big investment, but to give a gift to a child, three thousand stones of corn... That's a total of thirty-six thousand catties.

"This three thousand denier corn?"

"The lord said that if you want to make Chu paper popular in the world, you need to expand the workshop as soon as possible. This corn will be used." Zhang Qian explained.

Huang Chengyan nodded, that's true, the workshop needs to be expanded, money and food must be needed.Of course, he also understood that the [-]-denier corn was Liu Biao's reciprocation.When he gave Liu Biao the Chu paper, it not only achieved his daughter's reputation, but also enhanced Liu Biao's prestige, and gave him political achievements. In fact, Liu Biao took advantage of this matter, so he took it as a matter of course.

Among aristocratic families, it is necessary to calculate clearly, but sometimes, it cannot be calculated so clearly.

"The workshop has started to expand. You should have seen it on the way here. I will send people to the workshop later, and then you can return to Xiangyang with a thousand pieces of Chu paper." On the day I arrived home, it has only been about ten days now. The workshop produces about 500 sheets of paper every day, and there is still a stock of [-] sheets of paper. , and the rest are medium bamboo paper."

High-quality bamboo paper is more flexible and delicate, smooth and smooth, but the output is really not high, often only one piece of paper out of ten, which is a test of the experience of the craftsman.

The medium bamboo paper is just like the ones he brought home the first day. It looks delicate at first glance, but in fact it is not smooth enough, but it can also be used for writing and painting well.

No matter how bad it was, there were some of them... but they were all put in the toilet by their daughters.

Thinking of this, he still couldn't help wanting to beat up his daughter, but after all, his own daughter made this thing, and...he also tried it, and it was indeed much softer than a wooden sheet.

"This...that Mr. sent to Xiangyang a few days ago is..."

"Oh, at that time the technique was not yet mature, only medium bamboo paper."

"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Gan was delighted. In this way, his hard work will be safe.

Huang Chengyan just waved his hand and went to the back room.

　As the title ha, today's Chapter 2, ask for all kinds of tickets.
