State Shepherd's Office.

In recent days, Liu Biao has been in a good mood. First, he brought thousands of pieces of Chu paper from Huang Chengyan's house, including 100 pieces of high-grade Chu paper and 900 pieces of medium-grade Chu paper. He then took 10 pieces of fine Chu paper and 100 pieces of medium-grade Chu paper.

Sending it to Xudu and reporting it to the Emperor of Heaven to ask for merit for Huang Yueying was also his political achievement and his reputation.

The Chu paper shop opened a few days ago, and the scene was very lively. Although the price of Chu paper was not high, the output was insufficient and it was hard to find a piece of Chu paper. However, he still had about 900 pieces of Chu paper, so he invited his subordinates to come and enjoy the flowers.

The poems showed off their talents, and the envy in the eyes of the subordinate officials, as well as the appreciation of ten pieces of Chu paper, won over some people's hearts.

Although the Kuai, Cai, and Pang families didn't need him to win over them. After all, they also took some Chu paper from Huang Chengyan, but they couldn't help but that they didn't have much, each family only had a hundred pieces, and they still begged him for it every day, asking him to

I felt a little proud and very happy.

"Husband, put on your cloak. It's cold today." Looking at Liu Biao standing under the eaves admiring the snow, Mrs. Cai held a fur-collared cloak in her hand and wanted to put it on Liu Biao.

"Thank you, Madam." Liu Biao did not refuse, but instead held Madam Cai's hand, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam, these days."

"It's not hard work." Mrs. Cai smiled and let Liu Biao hold her hand, her eyes filled with admiration. "However, it is indeed thanks to the paper made by A Chu that I can do even greater things next year."

"Yes, Ah Chu has been smart since he was a child, and now he is even more talented and famous. When the emperor's decree comes down, the person proposing marriage will probably cross the threshold of Chengyan's family." Liu Biao smiled, "It's a pity that Qi'er is already married, but Cong'er, on the other hand,

Now eight out of ten, it’s time to consider starting a family.”

The smile on Mrs. Cai's face did not change, and then she said, "I'm afraid my sister wants to keep A Chu for a few more years, and besides, Cong'er already has someone in mind."

"Oh?" Liu Biao was surprised.

"It is Brother Mao's daughter, A-Ning." Mrs. Cai said, "A-Ning is now fifteen, and the two children are about the same age, and they like each other. As a mother and aunt, I see it all.

As a father and uncle, you don't care at all."

Liu Biao quickly apologized with a smile, "That's fine, madam, you can discuss it with De Gui then, and in this way, the two families will become more intimate."

In Liu Biao's opinion, the eldest son Liu Qi looked like him, but he was older and not close to Mrs. Cai. The second son Liu Cong was only eleven or twelve years old when Cai married him, but he was much closer to Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Cai cared more about her.

This is also normal.

"My husband is right." Mrs. Cai also nodded, "I will ask my brother before the new year comes."

"good."

…

Xiangyang, Chu Paper Shop.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, it's snowing now. We've been waiting for a long time. Let's sell some more to us! I'll wait for you to bring enough money!" A young scholar raised his hand to Zhou Yang, feeling helpless.

He queued up and was about a hundred people away. The person in front of him bought it, but he couldn't, which made him very confused and had to beg for paper.

"Yes, Shopkeeper Zhou! We also know that the Chu paper production is still insufficient, but we don't want to queue up again tomorrow!" Another person said, it is really... hard to find a piece of paper.

At first, when they heard the name of Chu paper, they had a lot of doubts in their hearts. But when Chu paper became widely available, their doubts disappeared. Indeed, Chu paper was much better than Cai Hou paper, and more importantly, the price was also higher than Cai Hou paper.

Hou paper is much cheaper!

But... it’s hard to find a piece of paper!

"That's right, Shopkeeper Zhou! Just sell a few more places!"

"I've been waiting in the cold wind for a long time!"

"Yes, Shopkeeper Zhou!"

Zhou Yang looked at the crowd of people outside and was already used to it. The shop has been open for five days, and there are people who can't buy it every day. He really has no choice. Who doesn't want to make more money?

When he came, he brought about 5,000 pieces of Chu paper, but now only half of them are left, and the rest haven't been sent yet! He doesn't dare to make the decision!

It's snowing and it's really cold, so there's nothing we can do!

"Everyone, the inventory is really insufficient, so you can only come early tomorrow!" Zhou Yang still refused.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, I've been waiting in line for five days in a row!"

"Exactly! We also know that the production is insufficient, but can't the shopkeeper see our sincerity? Even if the price is increased, we can accept it!"

"yes!"

Listening to these words, Zhou Yang was even more helpless. In the past few days, some people have been speculating on the price of Chu paper. Some people queue up every day. When they get the paper, they turn around and sell it. Fifty dollars turns into a hundred dollars, or even more.

.

But even though he was a domestic servant, he couldn't stop it.

Among these people, the first few were indeed scholars, and he felt quite pitiful for not being able to buy paper, but the latter few were speculators whom he was already familiar with!

At this moment, a carriage drove up to the shop. It was said to be a carriage, but it was surrounded by wooden boards. Only the front was blocked by a gray curtain, making it look like a mobile house.

Not long after, the curtain was lifted, and a handsome young boy emerged with bright eyes and handsome features. He was wearing a straight blue trousers and a white fur coat. He looked expensive.

Very angry.

"Uncle Zhou, the cold weather is not easy, today you will increase the share of fifty people." The young boy looked at Zhou Yang at the door and said loudly.

Zhou Yang looked at Huang Yueying's dress, opened his mouth, then bowed and nodded, "No."

After hearing these words, the dozens of people who refused to leave at the door were overjoyed and thanked them profusely.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang!"

"Dare I ask Xiao Langjun's name?"

"My surname is Huang, with the character Chu in my name. I am from Mianyang." Huang Yueying also bowed her hands to everyone.

As for her, Jing Ji Ji Dong, she estimated that the paper Zhou Yang brought could only be sold for eight or nine days, and she would have to order someone to deliver the paper anyway, so she coquettishly told her old father that she would dress up in men's clothing on the road.

The latter had no choice but to agree. Although the old mother did not agree, she no longer objected after seeing the improved carriage.

Then, he went to the Mianyang County Magistrate and asked a team of government servants to help escort him.

She took Huang Cong and his father Huang Zhi on the road together. Originally, Huang Zhi was escorting this batch of Chu papers, but she insisted on joining them.

"But he is from the same clan as Duke Chengyan?"

"Exactly."

"Thank you so much, young man! If young man returns to the clan, please inform the young lady of the Huang family for us. Thank you very much for making Chu paper and benefiting people all over the world."

"Yes, please tell us."

A serious scholar bought paper for his own use. At this time, he was no longer in a hurry to buy paper. Instead, he asked Huang Yueying to convey his gratitude. It was a bit...sincere.

Others, who were not scholars, crowded into the store.

Huang Yueying nodded naturally, "You should buy paper first and go home early after buying it. It's cold and it's not worth it if you freeze."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang, for reminding me."

"Thank you."

Huang Yueying stopped talking and looked at Huang Zhi, "Uncle, please first ask the guards to drink tea and eat something to warm themselves up."

Huang Zhi nodded and went to make arrangements.

Huang Yueying looked at the group of people leaving and knew that they, Huangjiazhuang, needed some guards, otherwise they would bother the public servants again and again. Even though Liu Biao wouldn't say anything if he knew about it, it would still be troublesome.

Besides, Article 4 of the Time Travel Guide: Political power comes from the barrel of a gun.

The Mianyang Huang Clan is a noble family, but after all, it has only been established for forty years. It is not as wealthy as the Xiangyang Huang Clan. There are not many servants. She has never thought of forming a bodyguard before, but she will have to do more and more things in the future.

, recruiting guards is also imperative.

However, we have to wait until next year. It is the end of the year after all.

"Sister..." Huang Cong also ran out of the carriage and was about to shout, but was glared at by the latter, "Uh...brother."

Well, he is indeed the "brother". There is really nothing wrong with my sister's appearance. At least, it is similar to that of other brothers in the clan, and even her voice is very similar.

Huang Yueying nodded, "What's wrong?"

"I'm hungry too." Huang Cong touched his stomach, his face full of sadness.

Huang Yueying laughed. Also, it is normal to be hungry quickly when the body is growing. "Don't be anxious. After these people finish buying, move the Chu paper in and ask Uncle Zhou to help find a place to eat."

"Okay." Huang Cong became happy. He thought that his sister had forgotten him.

Huang Yueying didn't pay attention, but slowly looked at Xiangyang City today. There was still snow on the streets, but it no longer affected walking. This shop is located next to the main road in Dongshi, so the customer flow is good, but today it is raining

Snow, there are few people on the street, only Chu Paper Shop has more outsiders.

The two shops next to this shop have been vacated. After all, after Cai Mao gave it to her, the original manpower was withdrawn. She came here mainly to see these two shops. When she got off the carriage, Huang Cong followed closely

Later.

However, the doors of the other two shops are still locked, and they have to wait until Zhou Yang is finished.

Not long after, the person who bought the paper said hello to Huang Yueying even after leaving.
