Chapter 17: Seeing Liu Banghe Again
Yang Lin couldn't help but be surprised by who Huang Shigong was. He was a heavyweight in Taoism. It was said that this man would later practice Taoism and become an immortal. And he did not expect that yesterday's teacher would be Huang Shigong, but then he thought again.
, why would such a mythical figure let Xiao He help him?
"It will travel westward through Chenliu." Yang Lin whispered again, "Huang Shigong asked me to meet someone, who is this person?" Another question came to his mind.
After leaving the hut, although Yang Lin had not yet figured out what all this meant, Yang Lin believed that he would know the answer after Chen Liu, so he put aside his doubts and hurriedly found the county government office.
"Does the Prime Minister of Xiao County know that the teacher has left last night?" Yang Lin sighed and said after giving the twenty books on his body to Xiao He.
Hearing this, Xiao He was also surprised. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "The teacher has left unexpectedly? I don't know about this yet. It's a pity that we have lost another strange person in Peixian County."
Yang Lin did not tell Xiao He that the teacher was Huang Shigong. Since Huang Shigong had not revealed his identity for many years and did not notify Xiao He when he left, Yang Lin knew that the latter wanted to keep a low profile and hide in the city.
"Xiao County Cheng, Lin is here today. Firstly, I will give you a paper book. Secondly, I wonder if you can arrange something for Lin to visit Brother Xiahou." Yang Lin saluted respectfully and said, "Lin knows this and wants to
Please forgive me, Lin is very grateful."
Xiao He thought about it for a moment, looked a little embarrassed, and sighed: "Yang Lin, the county magistrate was already a little bit shy about my last visit."
"Xiao County Magistrate, when the money is obtained from selling the paper books, Lin will definitely go to see the county governor. So I ask you to help me again this time." Yang Lin requested again.
"In this way..." Xiao He stroked his beard and paused in his heart. He seemed to have an idea, and then said: "Yesterday, I recommended the paper to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate also liked it. In this case, you wait here first, I
Go and deliver these twenty volumes to the county magistrate, and I think he will agree to your request."
"Thank you, Prime Minister Xiao County, Lin." Hearing this, Yang Lin showed a smile and thanked him.
"Yes." Xiao He nodded, and then ordered the yamen to follow him and leave with twenty volumes of paper.
Not long after, Xiao He came back and immediately took Yang Lin to the prison cell.
"Yang Lin, why are you here?" Xia Houying, whose face was a little yellow, stood up happily when he saw Yang Lin, and asked eagerly.
Yang Lin looked around and saw no government officials. He said in a low voice to Xia Houying in the cell: "I'm here to visit Brother Xiahou. By the way, let me tell you, don't worry here, I will go see the county guard as soon as possible."
Xia Houying frowned, and his joy suddenly turned gloomy. He also scolded in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you last time that you don't have to do this? It's so difficult to ask for an audience with the county governor. Brother, you have this feeling in my heart, Xia Houying
I’m grateful, but you don’t need to embarrass yourself.”
Yang Lin smiled mysteriously and said, "As for the method, brother Xiahou, don't worry." He didn't want to tell the latter about papermaking for the time being.
"Oh, isn't that Yang Lin, our number one hero in Fengyi?" As the two were talking, someone suddenly shouted in a strange voice from the cell opposite.
Hearing this voice, Yang Lin raised his eyebrows. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Bang and the other three. Then he smiled lightly and said, "It turns out to be Brother Ji. I'm sorry. Is it comfortable in the prison?"
"You..., Yang Lin, you are a little kid. I, Fan Kuai, will not let you off lightly when I go out." Fan Kuai had a short temper, angrily rolled up his sleeves and pointed at Yang Lin and said resentfully.
Liu Bang in the cell waved his hand to stop Fan Kuai. He took a step forward and walked to the fence of the cell. He held his chin and looked at Yang Lin carefully. After a pause, Liu Bang sighed: "I heard that Xiao County Cheng said you should...
He became the head of the Sishui pavilion, and also paid the taxes for our three families."
Yang Lin nodded. For Liu Bang, his previous thoughts of subduing the latter had long since dissipated, and he had no mercy at this time. He said: "Exactly. Since I am the head of the Sishui Pavilion, I should do these things, and
It’s not about oppressing the people.”
"What are you talking about?" Fan Kuai pointed at Yang Lin and shouted.
Liu Bang laughed at himself indifferently, and then said: "I have something unclear, and I would like to ask Pavilion Chief Yang for advice." Seeing Yang Lin nodding, Liu Bang suddenly continued to ask solemnly: "Pavilion Chief Zhao of Baziting slandered me, Liu Bang."
Is it possible for you to plan the Ji incident?"
"Brother Ji is joking, I really don't know what this means." Yang Lin looked at Liu Bang and said with a surprised expression.
"Really?" Liu Bang muttered.
Then Yang Lin said a few words to Xia Houying again, and was taken out by the officials because the time was up. After leaving the prison room, he thanked Xiao He again and returned to Lishui Pavilion.
One hundred and fifty-five paper volumes were sold out in one day, and the craft factories within four miles of the pavilion resumed production. After Zhao Meng had people publicize the matter, the slanderous rumors from the day before were self-defeating.
At the same time, in accordance with Yang Lin's instructions, in order to ensure a balanced sales volume of paper books, only two hundred volumes, which are two hundred sheets of reed mat-sized paper, are produced every day. The rest of the time, rough paper that does not need to be cooked twice is produced.
Put down the paper.
The requirements for paper removal are low, the process is simple, and the output is relatively much higher. In the next few days, Wang Shan and others entered Pei County again, and this time they seized on the common people's use of paper removal, especially for easy wiping in the toilet.
The use of butt.
Different groups of people have different uses. The paper just meets the daily needs of ordinary people, and the price is cheap. You can buy five volumes for one copper coin. Whether it is packaging things or going to the toilet, the paper is extremely convenient, so it is relatively easy to sell.
The situation opened up easily.
On the first day of sale, it took half a day to sell out. On the second day, it was sold out again in just one or two hours. The same was true on the third and fourth days.
"Brother Lin, the demand for paper is very high. The supply exceeds the demand every day." Wang Shan returned to Lishui Pavilion after selling today. After finding Yang Lin, he said with joy and worry.
Yang Lin said solemnly: "Small profits but quick turnover is the principle. After all, the common people are the main body." Then he turned to ask: "How is the sales situation of Shangzhi?"
Wang Shan immediately took out the paper book registering the sales from his arms. He did the calculations, checked again, and then reported: "A total of 513 copies of the above paper have been sold in the past few days, most of which are from the above."
The nobles and gentry of Tepei County purchased it."
"Yes. Inform Zhao Meng that we will suspend paper production for the next few days and go all out to produce unloaded paper." After hearing the detailed report, Yang Lin immediately ordered.
"Brother Lin, what does this mean?" Wang Shan was puzzled.
"Currently, our top paper is only supplied to Pei County. The top paper in the hands of these nobles is enough for them to use for a while. Therefore, the sales volume of top paper will decrease in the next few days. We might as well go all out to produce bottom paper.
Sales." Yang Lin explained one by one that these supply and demand relationships and market analysis were all recorded in economic books from previous lives.
After Wang Shan heard this, he thought about it carefully and said with admiration: "Brother Lin has seen it thoroughly."
Then he remembered something again and said with some doubts: "Brother Lin, there is a large businessman named Li Mo in Pei County. He wants to see you."
