When Yang Lin heard Xia Hou Ying's words, he felt warm in his heart. After more than two months, he finally rescued the latter. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Xia Hou, let's go back first and talk about it in detail." Then he picked up Xia Hou Ying.

Let's go, and Yamen Li was also invited over.

It was already night when they returned to Lishui Pavilion. Li Ba and Zhao Meng learned that Yang Lin was back and that Xia Houying had also been rescued. They both put down their work and quickly rushed to Yang Lin's home.

Seeing Xia Houying, the two of them also smiled. Li Ba was a rough man. He punched Xia Houying's chest with his right hand and said hehe, "Brother Xiahou, I already knew that you would be fine at Fu Da." Again.

The thunderous voice and his honest look made everyone laugh.

Then Xia Houying bowed his hands and saluted everyone, and said gratefully: "I would like to thank you all brothers." On the way back, Yang Lin had already told him in detail about the invention of papermaking and the summoning of the county governor.

Everyone was a little uncomfortable. After all, they were their own brothers. Yang Lin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiahou, you don't have to be like this."

Xia Houying shook his head, then saluted Yang Lin alone, and said with some choking: "Ying was saved by Brother Yang two and three times, but Ying had nothing to repay, and this life will belong to Brother Yang from now on." Ruo.

It was said that they were brothers in the past, but now Xia Houying and Yang Lin were in a life-and-death relationship.

"It's good that Brother Xiahou can come back safely. We will talk about the rest in the future. Wang Shan, take Brother Xiahou to clean up." Yang Lin nodded, feeling happy in his heart, and then ordered Wang Shan, and then looked at Li

Ba, then said: "Go get some wine and meat."

"Okay, Brother Lin." Li Ba happily ran to prepare the food and drinks.

Finally, Yang Lin looked at Yamen Li again, raised his hands and said, "Brother Li, please go see the county magistrate today. Lin is grateful in his heart. We won't go home until we get drunk tonight."

"Brother Yang, you're so polite." Li Yamen didn't shirk. In their line of work, they just eat, drink and make money.

After Xia Houying finished washing up, put on new clothes, and cleaned up his hair and beard, Li Ba also prepared wine and food. Six people gathered around a table and started eating and drinking happily, because Li Yamen was there.

Yang Lin and others did not talk too much about the paper mill. Instead, they told Xia Houying that Yang Lin was appointed as the head of the Sishui Pavilion and helped the people borrow grain and pay taxes.

It was already late at night after having had enough food and drinks. Yang Lin arranged for Li Yamen to live in the pavilion, and then sent Li Ba and the others away. As for Xia Houying, he still stayed at Yang Lin's home.

On the second day, Yamen Li finished his task and came to say goodbye. Yang Lin stuffed him with a bunch of copper coins as a thank you.

After seeing off Li Yamen, he hurried to the pavilion. At this time, Li Ba, Zhao Meng, and Xia Houying all arrived. He sat on the couch and motioned for everyone to sit down together. Since it was for office work, no one was there.

Just like last night, they sat down respectfully and waited for Yang Lin's instructions.

"Brother Xiahou must also know something about papermaking. As for the specific process, Zhao Meng will take you to visit the papermaking factory." Yang Lin looked at the few people and said immediately.

"No!" Zhao Meng immediately handed over his hand and accepted the order.

Immediately afterwards, he said to Li Ba and Wang Shan: "Since Brother Xiahou has come back, from now on Li Ba will take over the post of thief solicitor in Lishui Pavilion. Brother Xiahou will take charge of the security and inspection of Sishui Pavilion. As for Wang Shan,

, you also stay at Surabaya Pavilion with Li Ba."

"No! Ba understands." Li Ba did not feel depressed because of the weakening of power. Wang Shan also nodded and bowed his hands to accept the order.

Then Xia Houying said: "Thank you to the pavilion chief for your trust. Ying will live up to his trust. Lishui Pavilion's security and inspection staff will not neglect day and night."

"Yeah. That's good." Yang Lin nodded and continued: "Now we only have one county in Sishui County that can sell paper books. The paper mills in two kiosks should be enough to cope with it. At present, there are still some prominent families in Lishui Pavilion.

Spy, brother Xiahou, you will expel these people from Fengyi." The county guard has seized the papermaking technology, so Yang Lin, a prominent family, will never let them succeed, not to mention himself, I believe the county guard will not let these people.

get.

"Nuo! Ying will take care of it right away." Xia Houying stood up, saluted and left, and then led a few people to start interrogating spies from various prominent families.

Then Yang Lin thought of Chen Da again, and he asked Li Ba: "Is Chen Da still in detention?"

"This guy is still locked in the room." Li Ba replied angrily, "Pavilion Chief, according to what I said, he should be kicked out of Lishui Pavilion."

"Drive him out, where are he going? Rush to the homes of those noble families and teach them about papermaking?" Yang Lin reprimanded in a deep voice, "Put Chen Da back home and don't let him leave Lishui Pavilion."

Li Ba was a little unhappy, but he still said: "No! I'll do it right away."

"Yes." Then Yang Lin said to Wang Shan again: "Calculate the money for purchasing grain from Lishui Pavilion borrowed from Lu Mansion and the grain tax from Surabaya Pavilion. Come with me to Lu Mansion today to pay off the debt." Last night.

When talking about the Sishui Pavilion, Yang Lin remembered that he still owed money to Lu Mansion. Now that he had the ability to repay, he gave the order.

"Shan understands." Then he went down to count.

In the end, Zhao Meng first reported to Yang Lin the production situation of the paper mill in the past few days, and then said: "Pavilion Chief, do you have any other instructions?"

"You should step back first." Yang Lin waved his hand and said. The paper mill was on the right track. As long as there were no major problems, he didn't need to interfere too much. Zhao Meng alone was enough.

After not waiting for too long, Wang Shan came back with a paper book in his hand. After bowing respectfully, he opened the paper book and reported: "Reporting to the chief of the pavilion, Shan just made some statistics and borrowed a total of 3,800 yuan."

One hundred qian and a total of forty-five shi of grain are converted into money. The total of the two needs to be repaid is 12,252 qian."

"In that case, Wang Shan, go get the money now, and then follow me to Lu Mansion." Yang Lin stood up, put down the map in his hand, and said in a deep voice.

Wang Shan responded: "No."

Because ten thousand dollars was more, Wang Shan found Li Ba, and then two more people, each with bulging money bags, and then found an ox cart, otherwise ten thousand dollars would be enough to overwhelm them.

Seeing that everything was ready, Yang Lin took everyone to Lu Mansion in Fengyi.

Hearing that Yang Lin had arrived, Lu Taigong went out to greet him personally. Then he saw the ox cart and the crowd behind him. He said to Yang Lin, "I am very happy that Yang Lin is here today. Please come in quickly."

Yang Lin bowed his hands in salute and responded: "Lü Taigong personally greeted me, but Lin didn't dare to accept it. I came here today, firstly, to repay the money owed to the Lu family, and secondly, to discuss the matter of the paper book."

"Oh?" After hearing this, he looked at Li Ba and the others again. Each one had a bulging money bag. Then Lu Taigong understood. He pointed at Yang Lin with a smile and said helplessly: "You, you, you have said so.

Don’t worry about this money. Without Yang Tingzhang, how could our Lu family have a firm foothold in Fengyi, and how could we have the reputation we have now?"

Yang Lin hurriedly waved his hand to signal to Taigong Lu that he did not need to persuade him. He then said, "Lin Taigong has always kept his kindness in mind. The payment today is just an expression of gratitude. Please accept it."

Hearing this and Yang Lin's serious expression, Lu Taigong knew that the latter had made up his mind, so he said: "In that case, I will accept it. Yang Tingzhang, please come in."

Then everyone entered the Lu Mansion. Wang Shan and others followed the steward to send ten thousand coins to the treasury, while Yang Lin and Lu Taigong entered the main hall.

After the two sat down, Lu Taigong raised his eyebrows and asked: "Just now, Tingzhang Yang said that we were discussing about the paper book. I wonder what it was about? To be honest, I heard that Tingzhang Yang was summoned by the county guard, but it has something to do with it.

?”

Yang Lin glanced at Taigong Lu, nodded, and said solemnly: "It has something to do with the county governor. Little does Lu Taigong know that Lin has dedicated his papermaking skills to the county governor, and he will send people to learn this in the next two days.

Technique."

"What?" Lu Taigong stood up in surprise. The papermaking technology was given to the county governor. What will happen to the sales of Sishui County in the future? He couldn't help but think of a lot. Then he calmed down and asked eagerly: "The county governor

How should I say it? What about the cooperation between you and me?"

Yang Lin sighed and continued: "There is no other way to give up the papermaking technology. As for the sales in Surabaya County, the cooperation between you and me remains unchanged. The county governor has agreed that the paper books in Surabaya County will still be produced by me and Lu Mansion.

Sale."

Hearing this, Taigong Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down again, smiled and said, "I was rude just now."

Yang Lin didn't say anything. If anyone else heard the news, it would be the same as Lu Taigong just now, because the matter was indeed too sudden and helpless.

"Since Sishui County has not changed, what is the discussion that Yang Tingzhang mentioned?" Lu Taigong frowned in confusion and asked again.

"I mainly want to discuss with Mr. Lu Taigong the impact on you and me after the county governor builds a paper mill. Even if the county governor promises not to sell it in Sishui County, what about the raw materials and the price of the paper books? These are very important to Sishui County and you and me.

"It has an impact." Yang Lin immediately analyzed that this was what he was worried about. Although the raw materials for paper making are cheap, and even bark can be used, the effect of making paper from bark is definitely not as good as that of hemp, linen, etc.

If the county governor builds a paper mill, he must give priority to building it in Sishui County so that he can control it. The impact of this will be the impact of raw materials. If there is a conflict between the two paper mills due to materials, the price of raw materials may even increase.

, will affect production and sales.

Secondly, in terms of price, the fluctuation of raw materials will inevitably bring about price fluctuations. However, even if we take a step back, the raw materials are inconvenient, and if the price of the paper books sold by the county governor to other counties is cheap, the people of Surabaya County will definitely demand a price reduction. And,

If the price sold by the county governor is higher than that of Surabaya County, how can the people of other counties be willing?

The final sales price is still unknown, and we can only wait for the governor's decision. These are matters related to the interests of Yang Lin and Lu Mansion, and there is no room for him to be careless.

After hearing Yang Lin's analysis and explanation, Lu Taigong also understood what was going on. He asked anxiously: "If Yang Tingzhang said this, do you know what to do?"

"It's okay to say that the raw materials are better. I'm going to ask Brother Lu Ze to purchase more from the counties along the way when he returns to Fengyi from now on and keep them for our backup storage." Yang Lin's eyes flashed and he immediately spoke out his thoughts. Now he is only in Pei County.

The acquisition was not enough, and then he said: "As for the price, I will try my best to negotiate with the county governor. As long as the current price can be maintained, if not, we will lower the price."

"Reducing the price?" Lu Taigong was puzzled and frowned again and asked: "What does Yang Tingchang mean by reducing the price?"

"A price increase will only cause protests from the people in the county, but a price decrease will not. All we have to do is to improve our reputation. When the reputation of the Lu family and I reaches a certain level, if the county governor wants to do anything again, he will

Think about it." Yang Lin wisely analyzed it again. When a person's name is big enough, he should also consider it appropriately. This has been the case from ancient times to the present.

Lu Taigong had no idea of ​​his own for the moment, but he believed that Yang Lin would never harm Lu Mansion, so he nodded and said: "Then we will do what Yang Tingchang wants. When the county magistrate sells, if there is a difference in price, we will

Price reduction.”

Then the two discussed the sales situation in various counties and the next arrangements.

When Yang Lin was leaving, he was stopped by Lu Pheasant. The latter blinked his big innocent eyes, with a smile like a crescent moon at the corner of his mouth, and said quietly: "Mr. Yang Ting, why don't you visit Pheasant just because you are here?"

Hearing such a resentful tone, Yang Lin smiled sheepishly. He looked at Lu Pheasant, with a touch of warmth in his heart. The pure, pretty, gentle and elegant Lu Pheasant was the Lu Pheasant he loved. Then he said: "I happened to be discussing the matter with Taigong Lu.

It happened, so I didn’t go looking for Miss Lu.”

On the side, Taigong Lu said with a joyful smile: "In that case, I will let my daughter see off Mr. Yang."

And Li Ba and others also knew what to do, and then the big man's thunderous voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Then, the pavilion chief, we will leave first. Miss Lu, please send us off slowly. We, the pavilion chief, have nothing urgent to do."

."

This remark caused another round of laughter, and Yang Lin awkwardly glared at Li Ba, who immediately shut up, then took Wang Shan and others into a bullock cart and drove away.

"Please, Mr. Yang Ting." Lu Taigong made a farewell gesture.

When Yang Lin saw this, he bowed his hands and left with Lu Zhi.

The two of them walked side by side on the dirt road in Fengyi. No one spoke first, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing for a while.

"You, you are having a good time these days." In the end, it was Yang Lin who opened up the situation.

"What do you think?" Lu Pheasant stopped, stood with his hands tied and looked at Yang Lin and asked.

The latter also knew about Lu Pheasant's feelings, and Yang Lin had already accepted this in his heart. He stood opposite Lu Pheasant, put his hands on his shoulders, and said with some reluctance: "I am really too busy these days to be able to do it regularly.

Come and visit.”

Lu Pheasant nodded, and responded with a slightly choked voice: "Pheasant knows, and heard his father and elder brother talk about papermaking. I can understand the pressure you are under, and Lu Pheasant does not blame Yang Tingchang.

"

Hearing this, Yang Lin's heart softened. He put his arms around Lu Pheasant, held him in his arms, and whispered in the latter's ear: "I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Lu Pheasant's body trembled slightly, with tears in his eyes, and a pair of thin arms hugged Yang Lin's back. The two of them hugged each other quietly under the sunset, very quiet and comfortable.
