    Qin Qinshou is just a businessman, and he is just a businessman selling bamboo groceries in the county, but he has such ambitions!  </p> Ye Chang stared at him and said nothing for a while, and Tan Qinshou did not expect to be able to convince Ye Chang with just a few words. He concentrated and held his breath, waiting for Ye Chang to say rejection, and then he would use his eloquent tongue.  to convince him.  </p> But when Ye Chang opened his mouth, all his preparations came to nothing.  </p> "Okay, Shopkeeper Qin has such an ambition, how can I not respond to it. However, as a humble villager in the mountains, I have no money and no power, so there is no way to promote it, so I will leave this matter to Shopkeeper Qin  ¡±</p> Tan Qinshou was short of breath for a moment. He looked at Ye Chang blankly for a while and then said: ¡°Ye Langjun, if you present this method to the court, you will definitely be rewarded by the court, not to mention silk and copper.  , even the reward of a famous person may not be known!"</p> Ye Chang said with a smile: "I know."</p> "Since Ye Langjun knows this, why would he give this huge credit  "With my servant?"</p> "I am a man from the mountains, so what do you think of me as a reward? If Mr. Qin feels sorry for him and wants to give me some money, I will be happy to do so."</p  > "This"</p> Tan Qinshou didn't know what to say. If Ye Chang was said to be noble and upright, he did not refuse money. If he was said to be greedy, he was not tempted by MG at all.  </p> After thinking for a while, Qin Qinshou couldn't figure out the reason. He cupped his hands and said, "If Ye Langjun doesn't give up, I am willing to do this for Ye Langjun."</p> "No need, no need.  Shopkeeper Qin doesn¡¯t have to do this. If shopkeeper Qin is worried about me regretting it, we can also make a written statement.¡± Ye Chang laughed and said, ¡°Half an acre of Fangtang and a mountain is enough for me.¡±</p> Qin Qinshou said in awe.  "Ye Langjun is not a man of troubled times, but a servant of the secular world."</p> In the Tang Dynasty, "shortcuts to the south" were popular. Those who were interested in the imperial court often chose a rural retreat, and then the imperial court sent people to conquer it, so the play  A great drama that reaches the sky in one step.  Tan Qinshou thought that Ye Chang had this idea. Although he praised him, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart: Those who live in seclusion and invite names to get the attention of the court are all amazing and talented people. If nothing else, they have gained fame in the past two years.  Li Mi, a mountain man who rose to prominence, was known as a "child prodigy" when he was young.  </p> Although Ye Chang met an immortal, his reputation is still not as good as that of Li Mi.  </p> "But Shopkeeper Qin came just in time. I had something to do, and I wanted to ask Shopkeeper Qin for advice. Shopkeeper Qin's bamboo, I don't know where he came in?"</p> "Why did Ye Langjun ask this?"  "</p> "I have no intention of doing moso bamboo business, I just want to know the source of your moso bamboo. If shopkeeper Qin feels that it is necessary to keep it secret, then just go down and ask someone else."</p> Qin Qinshou's expression changed slightly: "  Ye Langjun misunderstood, I was just curious about the use of Ye Langjun asking All the bamboos in the shop came from Jinjialing, Hanoi County." These days, Ye Chang finally understands where Xiuwu County is located.  location.  Xiuwu itself is not well-known, but the Henan County of Henan Prefecture next to it is probably the Jiaozuo area in later generations.  The so-called overthrow of Busan refers to the famous Yuntai Mountain in later generations.  In short, this area is located in northwest Henan and at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain.  Therefore, he was surprised that Qin Qinshou was able to sell moso bamboo in large quantities: Could it be that the temperature in the Tang Dynasty was really so high that moso bamboo grew in large quantities in the north?  </p> "How far is it from Jinjialing in Hanoi County?" Ye Chang asked again.  </p> ¡°It¡¯s only more than thirty miles away and can be reached in one day.¡±</p> ¡°How many moso bamboos are there in Jinjialing? How many acres are there, and how many trees are there?¡±</p> This question made Tan Qinshou¡¯s expression  When he became serious, it was obvious that Ye Chang was not only inquiring out of curiosity, but also had a deep meaning behind it.  </p> "Bamboo is produced in Hanoi and has been so since the Han Dynasty, so the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest live here in seclusion. However, moso bamboo is a southern bamboo species that likes hot and humid nature. It has always been rare in the north. My ancestors of the Qin family introduced it to  Jinjialing now has hundreds of acres of moso bamboo and hundreds of thousands of bamboo trees." Qin Qinshou thought for a while and then replied: "However, there is no shortage of bamboos from Hanoi to Xiuwu."</p> Ye Chang.  After squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, he really couldn't be sure whether the bamboo called Gangzhu would help his plan.  </p> ¡°Does Mr. Ye Lang want to use moso bamboo?¡± Qin Qinshou asked tentatively.  </p> "It is useful."</p> "Oh, I don't know what it is used for. Can Ye Langjun tell me about it?"</p> "Paper making." Ye Chang answered simply.  </p> He was indeed planning to make paper. After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Chang felt that papermaking was the industry that could make him rich the fastest in this era.  </p> Of course, the most important reason is that he has had enough of using toilet chips.??¡ª¡ªUsing a piece of bamboo to shave your buttocks is really a technical job. Ye Chang feels like a doctor is operating on himself with a scalpel.  </p> Therefore, we must make paper and make toilet paper!  </p> Since you want to make paper, using wheat straw to make toilet paper is just one of them. If you want to make money, you have to use bamboo to make bamboo paper.  It happened that Ye Chang was no stranger to this set of techniques - he could almost memorize all the bamboo paper manufacturing methods in "Tiangong Kaiwu" written by Song Yingxing in the late Ming Dynasty.  But he only knew that it could be made from moso bamboo, and he was not sure whether it could be made from other bamboos.  </p> But having mentioned this matter, sooner or later it will be tested.  </p> "PapermakingYe Langjun actually wants to make paper?" Tan Qinshou said in surprise: "Use bamboo?"  Shopkeeper Qin sells it on behalf of others. "</p> "This is an easy matter. If you get good paper, you won't have to worry about sales." Qin Qinshou thought about it for a while: "However, I have always heard that paper is mostly made of hemp, mulberry, or rice.  It is not common to use bamboo to make paper."</p> Qin Qinshou is quite familiar with the price of paper. The price of a hundred pieces of white paper is forty to fifty cents, which is equivalent to three buckets of rice. At this price,  It was cheaper than before, but still too expensive. As a result, many scholars had no money to buy paper, so they graffitied everywhere and wrote poems on the walls of other people's houses, often in the name of "bibi".  </p> "It should be cheaper than today's paper." Ye Chang said: "But it will take half a year for these to be decomposed. Before that, shopkeeper Qin kept it a secret for me."</p> "Oh? Why do you want to keep it a secret?  ?¡±</p> ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work, it will only make people laugh.¡± Ye Chang said with a smile.  </p> When Liu Gui heard the conversation between the two of them, he sneered in his heart.  </p> This Eleventh Man really doesn¡¯t know how great the world is. He just received the guidance of an immortal and luckily attracted water, but now he wants to make paper. If paper is so easy to make, who else will it be for him?  </p> Also, he is actually afraid of making people laugh He also knows that he will never have the chance to make people laugh in half a year.  However, this matter must be reported back to Mrs. Liu!  </p> Although there was no wine in this banquet, it was still a great time for the guests and the host. After Qin Qinshou learned that Ye Shu would go to the capital for military service, he specially wrote a letter and asked Ye Shu to take it to Chang'an City, saying that it was for him.  A close relative also runs a shop in Chang'an West City.  This is actually asking his relative to take care of Ye Shu. Ye Shu understands this kind of gesture, not to mention Ye Chang.  </p> After the excitement was over, Xiang'er finally took over the task of clearing the dishes, and Ye Chang went to the kitchen to help. The two of them whispered, Xiang'er wanted to learn how to make the dishes, and Ye Chang  Of course, he didn't care about himself, and even taught Xiang'er several other cooking methods.  The better Xiang'er learns, the more he can be lazy and enjoy food in the future, so why not do it.  </p> "Shiyilang, you have used half of the oil. Also, that big fat meat has never been refined!" After clearing the dishes, Xiang'er realized the problem: "Even if it's a long branch, it won't be refined."  Maybe eating like this every day?¡±</p> With Ye Chang¡¯s wealth, eating like this every day will definitely lead to bankruptcy. Ye Chang laughed and said: ¡°In that case, let¡¯s find a way to raise pigs and chickens!¡±</p>  p> "The family only relies on Shi Yilang and Nunu, but they can't support it. Liu Gui doesn't care about what he does." Xiang'er said something bad about Liu Gui behind his back. Ye Chang stretched his head to the yard and took a look. Liu Gui  Sure enough, he wasn't there, and he didn't know where he was hiding to be lazy.  </p> "Well, please help me from the villagers. Raising pigs is too troublesome, but raising chickens is easy." Ye Chang thought for a while: "But it's not easy. If you live in the village, you can raise a few chickens, and the taste is good.  It¡¯s not good, unless we move to the foot of the mountain, where there are more fields.¡±</p> ¡°Eleventh Prince should have just listened to the shopkeeper Qin, and the Hongqu canal was used to divert water to the court, and the imperial court gave Eleventh Prince one.  Great official, then our family will have many fields and houses, and if the eleventh prince buys some girls and boys, Nunu can be the steward!" Xiang'er said with a longing look on his face: "By then, Nunu will also  You can control others!"</p> Ye Chang was dumbfounded by the little girl's thoughts. After rubbing her hair and messing up her bun, Ye Chang said: "How can such a cheap thing happen? Now I  The reputation is not yet obvious, even if you get the benefits from the court, you can't keep it." Xiang'er is young and doesn't understand the helplessness behind Ye Chang's words.  </p> Coming out of the kitchen, Ye Chang saw Liu Gui walking into the yard with a crooked smile on his face, and his heart couldn't help but move: "Going to grow branches again?"</p> Liu Gui's face originally had a smile, but Ye Chang couldn't help but think.  When Chang asked, he was suddenly shocked and knelt down on the ground: "No, no, how dare you, a villain?"  What a promise, that's why I'm so happy.  Ye Chang was also a little unhappy. In the past few days, he first learned that his brother was going to go to war, and thenI heard that my brother-in-law was sent to the mountains to guard the kiln, and there was a guy like Liu Gui with him.  </p> "If you want to go back, I will return your body contract to Changzhi, so that you won't have to run around all the time. What do you think?" Ye Chang said.  </p> ¡°No, the villain won¡¯t go back, the villain¡­ the villain is willing to stay with Eleven Lang.¡± Liu Gui suddenly panicked.  </p> The abnormality must be a demon. This is unwilling to return to the long -term branch. It only proves that one thing is not dead!  </p> Because he didn¡¯t want to give up, he left Liu Gui here, firstly to detect the movements on his side, and secondly, to wait for an opportunity to strike.  </p> Ye Chang is by no means a believer. He has given Liu Gui a chance, but Liu Gui did not take it.  Ye Chang nodded slightly and said calmly: "I'm going to the city tomorrow to see my brother off, and I'll pay a visit to Shopkeeper Qin on the way. You can come with me."</p> Liu Gui didn't know if Ye Chang really trusted him, so he should  He made a sound, thinking that he would go to Changzhi later to report it.  </p> Early the next morning, Ye Chang got up. When he was at the entrance of the village, he saw that all the five people who had been drafted this time were already listed.  Four of the five people have foreign surnames. The Ye family has the most common surname in Wu Ze, but only his brother Ye Shu is the only one.  This discovery made Ye Chang feel that something was wrong, but before he could elaborate, the captain was already impatiently urging everyone to set off.  </p> Although Mrs. Fang has always been calm and witty, she couldn't help covering her face with her sleeves at this time. When the little Cinu finally knew that her father was going away, she burst into tears, and even the little sister who was being led began to cry.  The cars rumbled, the horses neighed, and the team kept urging, making the whole scene a mess.  </p> Ye Chang stepped forward hurriedly, first holding Xiao Cinu and saying: "Aye, you are going to Chang'an. I will buy you delicious and fun things when you come back. If you cry again, there will be no delicious and fun things.  ¡±</p> The little Cinu was young and didn¡¯t know much about the world. When he was tempted by Ye Chang¡¯s delicious and fun words, he immediately burst into tears. The younger sister followed her brother completely. Cinu didn¡¯t cry, and she didn¡¯t cry either.  Not only did she not cry, but her big black eyes were blinking and she repeated in a milky voice: "Good Qi, good king, good Qi, good king!"</p> "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, brother, this is  I'll leave in at least two months, or at least three months, and I'll definitely come back." Ye Chang then comforted Fang: "Ginu and my wife are here, my sister-in-law must take good care of them, and don't let my brother worry about it."</p>  Hearing this, he wiped away his tears and held his two children. Ye Chang saw that his brother was sad when he was leaving and couldn't even say words of comfort, so he stepped forward and said, "Brother, don't worry. I'm going to see the scenery of the capital during this two-month trip."  , come back and talk to Ci Nu and Xiao Niang."</p> He said it easily, and everyone was affected by him, and the feeling of parting gradually faded.  They had to gather in the county town first, so Ye Chang followed them all the way. On the way, he repeatedly tried to test the captain and gave him a few coins to ask him to take care of Ye Shu.  The team was having a quick talk and inadvertently revealed that Ye Shu's recruitment this time was actually due to Liu's power, which made Ye Chang suddenly realize.  </p> Sure enough, Chang Zhi had bad intentions, and his brother was implicated by him!  </p> Thinking of this, Ye Chang made up his mind. Changzhi actually did such a thing. If he didn't take revenge, wouldn't he look weak and bully?  </p> "Brother, we are going to Chang'an. It is at the feet of the emperor. Just be careful and don't get ahead of yourself." When they arrived in the city, Ye Shu was about to gather with the soldiers. When they were leaving, Ye Chang said.  </p> "Haha, don't worry, Eleventh Lang, I will take care of it myself, but you, Eleventh Lang must be careful, Chang Zhi is afraid there will be other means." Ye Shu hesitated for a while, and then said: "  My current battle is probably due to Aunt Changzhi's tactics. If they can use this method to get rid of me, I'm afraid they will have to deal with you in the end. Shiyilang, I have asked someone to bring a message to my third uncle, asking him.  When I come back to take charge of the housework, it would be best to take you away." Ye Changran was surprised.  </p> He had always thought that his brother was a mediocre person, with little to offer in terms of knowledge or intelligence. Only now did he realize that this brother was not stupid, but just unwilling to show it!  </p> He knows everything in his heart.  </p> "Yes, brother."</p> "You are different now from before, but don't be too proud of yourself. Uncle Changzhi is greedy and cunning, and my aunt is fierce and fierce. As a junior, I shouldn't be like this.  Comment, but if I don¡¯t explain it, and I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll suffer a loss, just remember to be patient and wait until the third uncle comes back.¡±</p> </p> </p>
