Chapter 6 6. Collecting money (please vote)

The turmoil in Xiangyang has nothing to do with Huangjiazhuang.

Today, there are only more than 40 households in Huangjiazhuangzi, including 20 Huang families and the rest are tenants. The total farmland is nearly 4,000 acres. This land is the foothold of the Mianyang Huang family.

Huang Chengyan allowed his clansmen to participate in the paper-making business. As for the distribution of interests to each family and the number of shares to participate in, it was all decided by him. After all, although he was not the clan leader of the Mianyang Huang clan, his status was higher than that of the clan clan leader. Besides,

This paper was made by Huang Yueying, and it was a sign of respect for the same clan that every family could participate in it. Even Huang Cong's family had to pay 700 yuan and the promise of a strong laborer to get a share.

.

Of course, each family also obtained the members' deeds, and then sent over all their money and materials. Therefore, Huang Yueying's family has a lot more money and materials in these days.

"The total money is 67,281, twenty-three bolts of silk, and hundreds of stones each of millet and grain." After Huang Yueying followed Cai's inventory of the warehouse, she breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them have been busy these days.

I'm so busy. Fortunately, I still have Zhou Yang's wife and daughter at home to help with the housework, otherwise I would be really busy.

"This is a 10% share." Ms. Cai sighed, she hadn't seen so much money in a long time.

Huang Yueying nodded. She had been in this era for two months, and she was probably familiar with some rules. For example, if the owner asked the tenants to work, even if it was not farming, they only had to pay for food. If they were recruiting workers from outside, maybe

There is wages, or perhaps 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 have discussed it in the past few nights. There is no way, both father and daughter are impatient.

Just thought of it and did it.

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

…

In early December, the weather became increasingly cold.

By the Mianshui River, at the foot of the green mountains, Huang Yueying was so thickly dressed that she could barely wrap herself up like a chubby cat. She watched more than a hundred people not far away working in full swing, digging the foundation.

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

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

The winters of this era were really difficult. There was nothing to do, and the material conditions were far inferior to those of later generations. Even food... it was either mallow or leeks, and only an occasional meal of bean sprouts and leaves, no peppers, and no chicken essence.

, no cumin, no hextech... let alone beef.

Unable to bear it anymore, she tinkered with tofu again. Now Zhou Yang's wife Li makes some tofu every few days... but she still gets tired of it!

It would be even more boring if she didn't go out and stayed at home. Ms. Cai wanted to teach her how to learn female celebrities! It's not that she didn't want to learn, she just had no interest.

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

Huang Cong smiled and looked at his sister. His mother had been suffering from the cold for a long time, and now she was finally fine. He was finally relieved. For him, Huang Yueying was like a guiding light.

He also knew that his sister was both talented and virtuous, and would do great things in the future. Although...he didn't know what big things his sister was going to do, but he would definitely learn her skills well, and her sister was the one who followed her lead.

Just as he was about to say something else, he saw dust rising and crowds of people on the other side of the river. "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 Travel Book, Jingzhou was peaceful during this period, so they should not be bandits.

"Sister, there are so many carriages!" Huang Cong looked at the opposite side with envy, "They all seem to be carrying something."

The carriages of this period did not have carriages, and at most they were curtains. The carriages that pulled things did not even have curtains.

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

"Young lady, young gentleman, I have come from Xiangyang. I wonder if this is Huangjiazhuang?" After a while, a man who looked like a military general got off his horse and walked up to the two little ones.

"Yes." Huang Yueying said nothing, while Huang Cong nodded, "Who are you?"

"How to get to Chengyangong's house? I am Zhang Qian, the guard of Jingzhou Pastoral Tent. Following my lord's order, I sent money and food here and paid homage to Chengyangong." Zhang Qian then explained the reason.

"Looking for my father?" Huang Yueying was puzzled, and then asked, "Are those people at the back too?"

"I've met the young lady." At this time, Zhang Qian realized that the young lady in front of him was the talented woman who made bamboo paper. He didn't dare to offend him, and his tone became more polite, "Yes, they are all here to find Mr. Chengyan." Yes, my lord ordered me to bring back some more Chu papers so that I can send them to the emperor to ask for merit for the young lady."

Huang Yueying is a little confused, is she going to ask for credit now? Speaking of which, the emperor of this period... is also a imprisoned mascot!

"Chu Zhi? How did uncle and the others know about it?"

"Don't you know, little lady?"

Huang Yueying shook her head.

"It was only after Duke Chengyan's handwriting was delivered to my lord that I learned that the Cai family, the Pang family, and the Kuai family have all sent people over. The young lady's talent and fame will soon be spread throughout Jingzhou!" Zhang Gan smiled, looking in front of him. This talented woman is really no more than 10 years old, and she can't help but sigh in her heart, Chengyan Gong's family has a long history.

Only then did Huang Yueying understand. No wonder she hadn't seen Zhou Yang these days. It turned out that she had gone to Xiangyang to deliver a message. I guess her old father wanted to show off. Thinking of this, she felt a little helpless. "This path goes straight to the south, and the third house from the front is It’s my home.”

"Thank you so much, madam." Zhang Qian was overjoyed, got on his horse, and ran forward quickly. The soldiers and horses behind were carrying the baggage and he quickly followed.

Huang Cong saw Zhang Qian walking away, his eyes filled with envy. He... also wanted to ride a horse.

Huang Yueying did not have this intention, but carefully observed the equipment of the Jingzhou soldiers.

The soldiers and horses in this belt should be considered elite soldiers. After all, these people are Liu Biao's guards, and they are all wearing leather armor. As for the march... well, in her opinion, it is dragging and unorganized.

Of course, there are not many people who can ride horses. The soldiers escorting the money and grain are all infantry. They must not be able to outrun the horses. Therefore, the team looks like it is dragging. But the most important thing is that there are a lot of trucks transporting grain. There are more than ten. So many. Food, what are you bringing it for?

Huang Yueying was puzzled, but she didn't ask. Her old father would handle these matters very well. She looked away, and she was no longer curious, and then said, "Let's go, let's go find Aunt Li."

Li is now in charge of the food for the workers on the construction site. Today is the first day of work, so she has to go take a look.

…

Huang's house, front hall.

"Mr. Chengyan, this is the 20% gift sent by my lord under my humiliation. The money is two hundred thousand. In addition, my lord said that he has not seen the young lady for a long time, so he brought some gifts to the young lady. I hope you will not refuse." Zhang Qian said slightly. He bent down, took off the bamboo tube from his waist, opened it, and handed over a letter and a gift list.

In front of Huang Chengyan, he did not dare to be too pretentious.

Huang Chengyan touched his beard and took a look at the letter. It was full of Liu Biao's nonsense except for the last sentence: If you want to get thousands of pieces of Chu paper, go to the emperor to ask for merit for A Chu.

"Jing Sheng has a good appetite. When he opened his mouth, he got a thousand pieces of bamboo paper?" Huang Chengyan smiled carelessly. He also knew that it would be good to get a hundred of these thousand pieces to go to Xudu.

"Ahem, my lord loves Chu paper very much." Zhang Qian also knew that Chu paper was valuable, and there were a thousand pieces of Chu paper at once... Good guy, no wonder Liu Biao specially asked him to bring a guard with him.

Seeing the gift list, it contained 3,000 dan of corn, 100 pieces of silk, and 10 pieces of jade. It was a big investment, but to give a gift to a child, 3,000 dan of corn... that's a total of 36,000 jin.

"Three thousand dan of corn?"

"My lord said that since you want to make Chu paper popular all over the world, you need to expand the workshop as soon as possible, and you can use this corn." Zhang Qian explained.

Huang Chengyan nodded, it was indeed true. To expand the workshop, money and food were indispensable. Of course, he also understood that these three thousand denier of corn was Liu Biao's repayment. By giving the Chu paper to Liu Biao, he achieved more than just his daughter's reputation. , it will also enhance Liu Biao's reputation and give him political achievements. In fact, Liu Biao still takes advantage of this matter, so it is natural for him to accept it.

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

"The workshop has begun to expand. You should have seen it on the way here. I will order people to go to the workshop later, and then you can bring thousands of pieces of Chu paper back to Xiangyang." Huang Chengyan naturally agreed. He just succeeded in making paper. On the day I got home, it had only been ten days. The workshop produced about five hundred pieces of paper every day, and there were still a thousand pieces of paper in stock. "It's just that among these thousand pieces of paper, only a hundred pieces of high-quality paper were available." paper, and the rest are all medium bamboo paper.”

The best bamboo paper is more flexible, delicate, flat and smooth, but the output is indeed not high. Often there is only one piece of paper in ten, which tests the experience of the craftsman.

The medium-sized bamboo paper is just like the ones he brought home on the first day. It looks delicate at first glance, but is not flat enough in fact, but it can also be used for writing and drawing very well. This type has the highest output and is now the most numerous.

No matter how bad they are, there are still some... but they were all put into the toilet by my own daughter.

Thinking of this, he still couldn't help but want to beat his daughter, but after all, his daughter made this thing, and...he also tried it, and it was indeed much softer than a piece of wood.

"This... what the gentleman sent to Xiangyang a few days ago is..."

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

"Thank you sir!" Zhang Qian was delighted. In this way, his hard work would be stable.

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