Lord of Puluo

Shumei Paper Factory is a very elegant name that fits the temperament of a talented woman.

According to the description in Lushui City's Qiuyuan Evening News, the Shumei Paper Mill was the paper mill that Shen Rongqing bought from the He family two years ago. At that time, there was only a small article on the third page of the Evening News. information.

When he arrived at the entrance of the paper mill, Li Banfeng was in no hurry to go in. He was not sure whether the current paper mill was still Shen Rongqing's business.

He entered a newsstand first, bought two magazines, and chatted with the boss.

Do you know who the boss of this factory is?

The stall owner of the newsstand shook his head and said: I have been selling newspapers here for more than ten years, but I have not seen the owner here in the past two years.

Seen before?

I've seen it before!

The previous boss' surname was He. Have you ever met him?

Who said what's the last name? The boss here's last name is Tu!

The surname is Tu? Li Banfeng was puzzled. This factory was obviously a property that Shen Rongqing bought from the He family, and it was even published in the newspapers.

Is this stall owner just fooling around?

What was the original boss's name?

Tu Shumei, in Heishipo, our boss Tu is also a famous figure. Everyone in the papermaking and printing industries knows her. Later, for some reason, the business could not continue, so he cashed in the sale. This is in Heishipo. It’s quite common.”

Tu Shumei.

Her surname is also Tu.

Li Banfeng remembered something. Qin Xiaopang once said that Tu Yinghong also came from Heishipo.

Is there any connection between this Tu Shumei and her?

Li Banfeng asked: How old is Boss Tu?

The stall owner thought for a while: I remember she was nearly sixty when she was still in the factory.

She's not Tu Yinghong, so she doesn't match her age.

Or what does it have to do with Tu Yinghong?

I want to meet this boss Tu. Do you know where she lives?

The stall owner shook his head and said: I don't know about this. I heard that she is no longer on Heishipo.

Are there any relatives living here?

No. When Boss Tu's business was at its most prosperous, a reporter came over for an exclusive interview. Boss Tu said that her parents were dead, she had no children, and she had no brothers or sisters. It was serious to run the business by herself. A hero among women!

In this case, she may not be related to Tu Yinghong.

Is what this stall owner says reliable?

Since he remembered the interview from a few years ago, why didn't he know about the news in Qiuyuan Evening News?

Is it because the news is too inconspicuous?

Do you have the Qiuyuan Evening News?

I don't have one here. Are you from Green Water City? No one in Heishipo reads the Qiuyuan Evening News, the stall owner chuckled. If you want to read serious news, I have the Greentown Daily here.

This is a newspaper run by the Ling family, and there is a market in Heishipo.

Ling Miaowen and Ling Miaoying are both dead, but the Ling family's newspaper is still run by someone.

The stall owner continued: If you want to watch something serious, I've got plenty of them. The most serious thing in Heishipo is undoubtedly Tuberose!

Li Banfeng's cheeks trembled.

Who said Tuberose is not serious?

Get a copy of Tuberose.

Do you want newspapers, magazines, or movies?

Li Banfeng was stunned: Do you still have a movie?

Yes, the movie Tuberose is published once a week. I have the latest one here, and I also have past issues in stock!

Is this all sold on newsstands?

The stall owner raised his eyebrows and said, Would you like one? Twenty-eight yuan!

Li Banfeng frowned and said, Twenty-eight yuan is not cheap. I might as well go watch a movie. Isn't Blood Gun Detective more enjoyable than this?

Can it be the same? Blood Gun Detective was shown in a movie theater. If you are interested in watching it, come to a movie theater? How shabby? No one can do that kind of thing except Ma Junyang from Green Water City.

Tuberose is different. You set up the machine at home and play it secretly without anyone knowing!

What if my wife finds out?

Don't be afraid if you find out. Let's look at it together. Let me tell you, my wife is so cute...

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, I don't have a movie player.

I have this, it's also made by Tuberose, the authentic Qichuan brand.

Qichuan brand?

Who gave this name?

Started by Ogawako?

Why did you bring me with you?

The stall owner took out the movie machine and asked for eight hundred.

Li Banfeng counter-offered 600, but the stall owner refused: You don't have to worry about selling this thing. 800 is considered cheap. Many people are frugal and want to buy one at home. Many reporters from newspapers are also grabbing it. Go buy it,

I'll give you newspapers, magazines, and the reel of film. I can also give you a curtain as a discount. This machine won't cost you even a penny.

The stall owner didn't let go, but Li Banfeng wasn't angry.

He bought a movie player, carried the machine, a shelf, newspapers and magazines to the paper mill.

The janitor of the paper mill came over, looked at Li Banfeng and said, Who are you looking for?

I'm looking for your boss.

What's your business?

I'm a reporter.

Seeing that Li Banfeng was well-dressed and holding a movie machine, he looked like a reporter. The doorman said, Please wait here for a while, and I'll go ask our manager.

After a while, the manager also came, smiled at Li Banfeng and said, May I ask, which newspaper reporter are you from?

At this time, we cannot talk about Tuberose, we have to talk about a serious publication.

I am a reporter for Blackstone Talk and I want to do a special feature on the paper industry.

The manager is much more polite, and Black Stone Miscellany still has a high status in Heishipo.

Our boss is not in the factory, can we make an appointment at another time?

Li Banfeng said: This is not appropriate. I am rushing to publish the manuscript.

The other party didn't force it, they said a few polite words to each other, and Li Banfeng left with the machine.

Shen Rongqing has a lot of business, which is deeply hidden, and his people are well-trained, so it is difficult to find out the results on the surface.

I have to try to see if I can find the inside line.

Bai Qiusheng and Yu Wenqi came from Heishipo, so we had to find them first about this matter.

Li Banfeng went back to the newspaper office directly. Bai Qiusheng said in surprise: Master Qi, you are here!

Li Banfeng held up the movie machine and said with a smile: Where's Chuanzi? I'm here to celebrate his victory, so hurry up and put out the drinks.

Not only did he have to celebrate his success, but he also had to receive a big prize, give Kawako a sum of money, and give Kawako 20% of the shares of the movie machine.

Bai Qiusheng looked confused: Master Qi, Chuanzi is sick and can't get out of bed for two days.

Sick? Li Banfeng's head buzzed, and he immediately thought of sick repair.

He went to Kawako's room and saw Kawako's face was pale and lying flat on the bed. He saw Li Banfeng and wanted to speak but couldn't.

Has Kawako seen anyone recently?

This sentence stopped Bai Qiusheng.

Kawako has been busy running the projector business recently and has met many people. Where should he start?

Seventh Master, how about we take our time...

Let's take care of things on the way. Send Chuanzi to Lushui City first.

Master Qi, the doctor said that Kawako is too weak to move easily.

This is troublesome. If he really encounters a disease repair, besides Cui Tike, Li Banfeng will not be able to find a solution.

In my anxiety, I suddenly heard Jiu Gourd whispering in my ear: Little brother, find a place to talk.

Li Banfeng returned to his room and Jiu Hulu said: Brother, this little brother's symptoms are different. Ma Wu is really sick. This little brother seems to be tired.

You're just tired. You've rested for two days and you still haven't gotten better?

Jiu Gulu said: I have followed the King of Medicine for many years, and I am not wrong about basic pathology. How about we discuss it with my sister?

Li Banfeng returned to his home, and Jiu Hulu told the record player about Xiao Chuanzi's illness.

Whoops!

The symptoms look like overexertion and no improvement after lying down for a long time. How is this person's physical condition?

In good shape.

Kawako was in good health when he was driving the steamroller. After entering the Taoist sect, his body improved a lot. It stands to reason that simple fatigue would not bring down this young man.

The lady asked again: Does he have any cultivation?

Repair work on the first floor.

Have you made anything good recently?

Make a movie player. Li Banfeng showed his wife the movie player in his hand.

The projector on the side snorted coldly: The materials used are rough and really unsightly.

Compared with him, he must be inferior.

But it is cheap and ordinary people can afford it. They can unfold a screen at home and watch movies.

How's the sales going? It was a rare occasion for the lady to ask about business matters.

Business is booming.

That's right, Mr. Gongxiu, if Gongxiu makes something good with a good reputation, the time will skyrocket. The more people use it, the better the reputation will be, and the faster the price will rise.

Judging from this kid's condition, he will definitely be promoted to the second floor, and he may even have to move to the third floor. An ordinary person's body cannot withstand such a promotion.

Let alone an ordinary person, Li Banfeng couldn't handle cross-level promotions.

Is there anything you can do, madam?

Hey, my husband, if this were another sect, cross-level promotion would definitely lead to death, but the two sects of Gong Xiu and Farming Xiu are special cases, and there is still a chance for relaxation. I will write a prescription, and my husband will go and grab some herbs first. .”

Li Banfeng said in surprise: Do you still have such a method?

The record player smiled and said: Hey, sir, have you found a treasure by marrying a slave?

What a treasure, what a treasure! Li Banfeng pressed his face against the record player and rubbed it against the cabinet door for a long time.

The record player laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe: My husband, I can't do it. My husband has a beard and it will itch my little slave to death.

The lady wrote a prescription with a stylus, and Li Banfeng had someone capture the herb, then brought the red lotus and refined the herb into a pill.

Give him this elixir and let him rest quietly for a while. When the salesman comes, he can buy a bowl of resurrecting soup and he can get through it.

Li Banfeng quickly fed the elixir to Chuanzi.

After taking the elixir, Chuanzi improved significantly. Li Banfeng put the matter in order and immediately called Bai Qiusheng.

He asked about Shen Rongqing.

Bai Qiusheng's reaction was similar to Ma Wu's: Shen Rongqing is an extremely talented woman. All the literati in Heishipo know her name.

Two years ago, she bought a paper mill in Heishipo. Do you know this?

I don't know, Bai Qiusheng shook his head repeatedly, A talented woman like Shen Rongqing shouldn't be able to do business, right?

What's wrong with doing business? Is it embarrassing?

Bai Qiusheng laughed dryly: She can support herself with her talents, so there is no need to work hard in business.

Li Banfeng asked again: Do you know Tu Shumei?

I know, the hero among women is a repairman and a master in the papermaking and printing industry.

Kawako bought a hand-operated printing press before, which was made by Tu Shumei. Small newspapers like Heishipo relied on this small printing press to make a living.

Work repair?

Tu Yinghong is also a repairman!

But this age is not right.

How old is Tu Shumei?

Bai Qiusheng thought for a moment and said, If I remember correctly, I will be sixty this year.

Sixty years old.

Assuming that she reached the first level at the age of twenty and practiced step by step for forty years, her cultivation level should be at the fifth level.

Since he is a master of papermaking and printing, he proves to be talented, and it is not impossible to reach the sixth floor, or even close to the seventh floor.

She built a hand-operated printing press, which had a good reputation and was used by many people.

If she crosses another floor, it will be the seventh floor, or even close to the eighth floor.

This is consistent with Tu Yinghong's cultivation.

Li Banfeng returned to his home and asked his wife, Can I repair my face if I am a professional?

Before the record player could speak, Hong Ying spoke from the side: Yes, Qi Lang, next time you catch a workman alive and bring him back, so you can see my old appearance.

PS: I wonder how Ling Miaoying would feel if she knew that Tu Yinghong was sixty years old.
