On the way back to Jinling City, Li Yu asked curiously: "Husband, how can we find money when we go back? I'm afraid it's difficult!"

"That is, none of the rich gentry and family in Danyang County are willing to pay money."

"Although there are many wealthy families in Jinling City, they are all masters who do not see rabbits or eagles. They have not seen any benefits, so they are afraid that they will not invest so much money."

Di'er and Zuer also said.

Chu Tianxiu smiled and said, "Who is the richest family in Jinling City?"

"Apart from the royal family, even if the Shen Mansion is over, the copper coins in the warehouse will probably be almost rotten!"

Joo said immediately.

"First get some money from the Shen family. When the Shen family tastes the sweetness, they won't be afraid that they won't rush to eat meat."

Chu Tianxiu said.

In the mansions of the richest people in Jinling City, the Shen family's backstage is the hardest and hardest to handle. But as long as the Shen family gets hooked, other wealthy families will easily follow the trend.

A team of carriages from the Prince Ping's Mansion, escorted by the guards, arrived straight to Jinling City.

The soldiers guarding the city at the gate of Jinling City naturally recognized that it was the carriage of Princess Danyang of Prince Ping's Mansion, and were extremely surprised.

Didn’t Xiao Hunhou take office as a big playboy in Danyang County?

Why is it back in just a few days?

As soon as Xiaohunhou came back, Jinling City was in chaos again!

The soldiers hurriedly gave in and did not dare to check Princess Danyang's car, so they let them enter Jinling City directly.

"Jinling City, I, Chu Tianxiu, are back."

Chu Tianxiu was in a great mood when he looked at the familiar and prosperous Jinling City.

This Jinling Imperial City is where he shows his strengths!

...

A group of carriages passed through Changle Street and passed by Shen Mansion.

Chu Tianxiu stopped the carriage.

Mr. Shen, the eldest son of Shen, had tea with a few friends at Hongmen Inn.

Just as I was about to wander around Jinling City, I happened to see Xiao Hunhou sitting in a carriage and wave to him.

Chen Wanbao couldn't help but be surprised, "Hey, Xiao Hunhou, why are you back again?!"

"There is no choice. After staying for a few days, this little marquis has already spent 10,000 taels of silver in Danyang County. If you don't come back, you won't have enough money."

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

When Chen Wanbao heard this, his eyes widened and his scalp was numb: "The place where birds do not shit in Danyang County has nothing to buy except food, and you can also spend 10,000 taels of silver? Are you, the magistrate of Danyang County, a boy who is a rich man?!"

Even if I go to buy a large amount of grain, I can’t spend ten thousand taels of silver in just a few days!

"I invented a new small blast furnace that can make steel, which cost me ten thousand taels of silver!"

Chu Tianxiu said: "Wanbao, do you want to invest with the county magistrate? I will build five small blast furnaces for you for 10,000 taels of silver! You may not be able to earn ten times a year, but it is always possible to increase by two or three times. It is much better than if you are using usury!"

The price he gave Li Gannian was one thousand taels per new blast furnace, which was almost the cost price. After all, Li Gannian, the county magistrate, worked hard in the county, and always had to give some delicious food.

The Shen family has a farther relationship, and it costs 2,000 taels per house.

Every time he gets an additional investment of two thousand taels, he can build an extra blast furnace.

"No! You, Xiao Hunhou, have the same nature as you, eat alone if you have any benefits, and you will definitely not take care of your brothers. You will actually want to pull me up, and there is absolutely no good thing."

Chen Wanbao's eyes were full of vigilance.

Xiaohunhou 80% wants to cheat him again!

Humph, there is no door.

He has never seen what the iron-smelting blast furnace looks like, so he would not believe it. He is not his father Shen Dafu, so he is so easy to be fooled.

"Forget it, if you don't invest in a small blast furnace, I won't force it. If you think it through, it's not too late to come to me again."

Chu Tianxiu shook his head and said, "Didn't you say a few days ago that you want to work with me to make Hunhou paper and sell it for money? Now I'll give you a benefit. I'll sell it to your Shen family for a full set of technology, which is 10,000 taels of silver! You can make as much paper as you like."

He went to Danyang County.

There is no paper for even the county government office documents, and it is obvious that Da Chu is still too backward.

There is no need to keep the paper exclusively confidential, and it should also be significantly reduced, and it should be reduced to one penny per piece of paper as soon as possible, so that Da Chu can enter the paper book era from the bamboo slip era as soon as possible.

In the whole country of Great Chu, we must speed up the popularization of the Hunhou Paper.

Otherwise, at the current high price of 20 cents per piece, except for the imperial court and the Jinling clans, no one in Danyang County uses the Hunhou paper.

Even the county government and wealthy families are reluctant to use it, let alone the private school children go to school. Children are carrying dozens of kilograms of bamboo slips to study, and there is no way to provide popular education.

He sold papermaking techniques and got the money of 10,000 taels of silver, and he could build a small blast furnace, which was a big hit.

"Sold to me the papermaking technique of Hunhou paper?"

Shen Wanbao was almost shocked.

He doesn't believe that he can make money by smelting iron and blast furnaces.

But this Hunhou paper is extremely cheap, but the selling price is as high as twenty cents of copper coins, which is very profitable, and he believes it.

Shen Wanbao reacted and screamed in surprise, wishing he could hold Chu Tianxiu.

"My dear grandpa, you finally figured it out! You should have sold me papermaking skills long ago. Okay, 10,000 taels, I will go back to withdraw the money and will be sent to your Prince Ping's Mansion immediately!"

...

Shen Wanbao turned around and ran back to Shen Mansion to find his father Shen Dafu, "Dad! A big happy event, a great happy event."

"What?"

Shen Dafu's face was haggard and was still thinking about how to improve the quality of the Shen's hemp paper from his own.

Now Shen’s hemp paper workshop is losing money every day. Although he doesn’t lose much money, it still makes his heart hurt.

This is a way out for the Shen family.

If he didn't think about the paper of the fainting for a day, he would feel uneasy and wouldn't even sleep.

Shen Dafu looked at his son in a daze, not knowing where the joy came from.

"Dad, I spent countless efforts to cry to my grandfather and begged grandma, and finally moved Xiaohunhou. Xiaohunhou had already agreed to sell the whole set of Wuhou paper techniques to our family. Ten thousand taels, only ten thousand taels, is it cheap?! Our family can make Wuhou paper!"

Shen Wanbao said excitedly, "It's all thanks to my friendship with Xiaohunhou for so many years, otherwise there would be no chance to change others."

"It's cheap, I bought it! I will only pay back two months."

Shen Dafu was shocked when he heard this and said fiercely, "Well done, I finally got a big deal!"

Ten thousand taels are just the money to build a large papermaking workshop.

Buy the papermaking technique of Hunhou paper and make paper hard, and it won’t take long to earn the capital back.

The Great Chu Dynasty is now only Shen and Chu families who can make paper and compete with each other are far fewer merchants than those who sell silk.

...

"Silly!"

Chu Tianxiu saw Shen Wanbao rushing back to Shen's mansion excitedly, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The Shen family has money.

He originally wanted to take Shen's mansion to Danyang County to make steel. With huge investments from the Shen family, the largest wealthy man in Jinling, it would only take one year to turn Danyang County into a heavy steel county, making it rich.

Chen Wanbao refused to go, just thinking about papermaking.

When Chen Wanbao comes to him again, it is not the price of "10,000 taels and five new blast furnaces".

But, no matter what.

In a blink of an eye, he got 10,000 taels of silver, and the 10,000 taels that Yu'er received was the starting capital of 20,000 silver.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but sigh.

In the poor and in Danyang County, even if it is three feet tall, it is too difficult to get ten thousand taels of silver. The gentry must rebel.

It’s still this rich man in Jinling City who is willing to pay for money!

The Shen family alone easily paid out 10,000 taels of silver.

"Now we have 20,000 taels of silver, and we can build twenty new small blast furnaces in one breath in one month, one hundred kilograms per day, which is estimated to produce 2,000 kilograms of high-quality steel, hundreds of agricultural tools and steel tools per day.

Although the number is still a little small, it should be fine to start. In the first month, we first tried to create the first batch of "steel-fried" and "steel-fried" out.

Steel is used to make agricultural tools, and steel is used to make weapons."

Chu Tianxiu thought about it and said to Li Yu: "The rest is to open up sales channels. Create a batch of excellent agricultural tools and arms to sell them to various parts of Chu. We cannot make arms, so it is best to sell the steel directly to the court."

He checked some classics and found that the private blacksmith shop in Dachu could smel iron, build agricultural tools, and even build weapons by itself.

The Xiang princes and kings built a large number of armies for their own army, and their military facilities were no less than those of the imperial court.

But he was a little Hunhou, not a prince of the Xiang family. If he built his own weapons, he would always be a taboo.

Li Yu nodded, "Try to try how sharp and strong this Baijing Steel is. If it is better than the iron refined by the court. Let me tell my father that the Taiwei Mansion came forward to buy some Baijing Steel for the court and build weapons for the army."
