The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 40: Another pot of gold


The screams outside the shed alarmed Yun Yanhui to several people. He stood up unsurprisingly, "Oh, there must be a thief."

The three brothers Zhihe were speechless. Although they hadn't heard what Yun Yanhui and Shuangyi said before biting their ears, looking at the appearance of the two, they knew that it must have something to do with guarding against thieves.

Now that I hear the voices of Yun Beibei and strangers outside, I know what's going on...

They quickly took the lanterns and went out. Looking at it, a man in black was held under the palm of Yun Beibei's hand.

Yun Yanhui walked over and shouted at Yun Beibei, Yun Beibei turned around slowly and walked over, was led by Yun Yanhui into the bamboo fence, and then closed.

The man in black was probably photographed with a broken bone, unable to move at all, and said with a crying voice: "Please, save me..."

Yun Yan Hui squatted next to him and pulled the towel off her face, feeling a little familiar, probably a local.

Zhihe was a little frightened, "Beibei is so fierce?"

He felt a little terrified when he thought about how often he was sitting on the veranda and playing with Bei Bei.

"Is it a bear anyway?" Yun Yan replied, "Fat Bei was raised by people, and is generally not aggressive, but we don't keep it outside, just because it can't control itself. Its strength, especially when it is still young, and outsiders can't stop screaming." He said, and smiled at the man in black, "Bei Bei actually wanted to play with you just now, but it just happens that it is very fast and powerful. big."

The man in black shakes, "..."

It was only when Zhihe also realized that the chubby guy was very lazy and had a strange coat, but he was also a bear.

"I don't know what you guys think. Although I don't have a dog at home, I have Shuangyi and Xiong. Why would I naively want to learn this way." Yun Yan rubbed her chin back. .

The man in black said painfully: "Can you take me to see the doctor first, I think I'm dying..."

"No, I have to give a lecture." Yun Yan smiled back and said, "Do you know why you can't get along? Because you have no eyesight! Why don't others take this order, but you don't want to die? How about taking it from the ground? Are you smart? Don't you know how to judge the situation? It's obvious that everyone is afraid of our family's force, so they don't take it. I told you to be a hero, look, it's miserable."

The man in black: "..."

Scolding the man in black to the point of shame, Yun Yanhui stopped contentedly, "Okay, let's throw him at the gate of the temple and tell him to crawl to see the doctor by himself."

Chisheng asked: "Yanfei, shouldn't we report to the officials? We should send him to Kaifeng House."

"Why do you want to report to the official," Yun Yan said with an indifferent face, "Would you like to let others see how miserable he is?"

……

Ever since the man in black was thrown out of the temple gate, those paper merchants withdrew their hands at once, how could they dare to attack again. Even if they wanted to, no one dared to take this job now.

Xianglan paper is very popular in Bianliang. Currently, the first batches made by Yunyanhui are the first batches that are circulating in the market. If you want it now, you can only buy it in the hands of those who bought it before, not necessarily. can buy. Because this is a consumable, the quantity is getting smaller and smaller.

Under such a hot and hungry market, many people who wanted to go through the back door came to see if there was any stock left by Zhihe, but the answer was basically no.

There are exceptions, that is, Zhen and Yunyan have a good relationship.

For example, Zhao Yunchu and Zheng Ling.

When Zhao Yunchu was young, his father was famous for both calligraphy and painting. His calligraphy was quite the essence of the two kings' calligraphy, especially the flying white, and he was good at line drawing.

The lord is now claiming to be insane. This paper is not easy to deal with, and he is inconvenient to come forward by himself, but fortunately the princess knows that this paper seems to have something to do with Yun Yanhui, and his son is on good terms with him, so he asks him to get some paper, okay Make him happy.

And Zheng Ling was able to get photo blue paper because he boasted about Haikou in front of his classmates.

In fact, neither Zhao Yunchu nor Zheng Ling knew that Yun Yanhui made the paper, they just thought that he provided Zhihe with a venue, and hoped to tell Zhihe through him.

"I think you are my own, let me tell you, in fact, this paper business is actually mine, and Zhihe is my agent." Yun Yanhui also didn't want to act with Zhihe in front of them. I can't hide it for a lifetime, so I said it myself.

Zhao Yunchu and Zheng Ling were both stunned, "??

Yun Yanhui dragged out a bamboo basket from under the bed, and took two stacks of paper from it, "Now there are only tea paper and crape myrtle paper, do you think you should take half of each, or choose one? Hello? What do you do? Don't talk?"

Zheng Ling said excitedly: "Brother Yan, this, did you actually make this? How can you make paper!"

Uh, this...

This question, Yun Yanhui has never told anyone, Zhihe and the others are impossible to ask such a question, but Zheng Ping tacitly tacitly agrees that the transactions he made with those businessmen who travel from south to north are technical things after all , it is impossible to know out of thin air.

At this time, Zhao Yunchu held his face and said, "Don't you know that there are genius prodigies in the world? Some things may seem unbelievable to you, but for such people, it's just a change of mind. ." As he spoke, he hugged Yun Yanhui's waist and said with a blushing face, "Brother Yan is such a genius."

"..." Yun Yan looked back with a black line, although it was very touching to support him so much, but is this overblown?

Zheng Ling said suspiciously: "Really or not?" It's not that he doesn't believe that Brother Yan is a genius, of course, Brother Yan is a genius, but can this kind of thing really come up by thinking?

"Of course it's impossible!" Yun Yanhui pulled Zhao Yunchu away, "I also learned from others, please don't close your eyes and blow it. Okay, you choose the paper."

Zhao Yunchu had no choice but to divide the paper with Zheng Ling angrily, but they still chose to take half of each type.

Zhao Yunchu took the paper back to his father. After the prince tried it, he said that the quality of the paper is actually average, but the ingenuity is rare, and it is a pleasure to use.

On Zheng Ling's side, he took the paper and went back to his house first, but his father saw the paper and said that this is not the blue paper that many people are blowing up recently, it is really beautiful, come on, share Give it to dad.

If this paper is really wise and harmonious, then Zheng Ling will give it to his father, but this was done by Yan Ge'er, so Zheng Ling refused to give it to Zheng Xun.

Zheng Xun was so angry that he scolded him for being unfilial, and Zheng Ling ran away with the paper in his arms.

Paper is a trivial matter, no matter what, it's just paper. For this disobedience to my father, it doesn't sound good. Zheng Xun only felt something strange, and after a little research, he found that the paper-making monk's workshop was home in Yunyan, and he immediately had some conjectures.

If it is as he expected, this paper is actually the property of Yun Yanhui, then this kid is really better than the blue. Zheng Xun can't help but feel a little pity.

It would be great if Yun Yanhui was the child of the Zheng family. He was wiser and wiser than Zheng Ling. It's a pity that he doesn't want to get involved with the Zheng family now.

……

The blue paper has been in short supply in Bianliang for three months. Immediately, other paper workshops have cracked the practice and have produced finished products and sold them all over the country, including Bianliang. The quality is even higher than the original. It's even better, and there are more patterns, such as the flower paper that Chisheng once mentioned, as well as special wrapping paper, and so on.

Although the price is more expensive, it still meets the market demand. Since then, the sales of photographic blue paper by Yunyanhui has dropped sharply. Fortunately, Yunyanhui is always observing the market and responding quickly when it finds signs of it. I stocked up, and stopped producing it. Even the tools were sold, and they stopped working neatly.

Those paper merchants can't tell what it's like. It turns out that they didn't want to expand the scale, they just wanted to make a fortune during this time.

Because the government has price control, it is impossible for them to sell paper too expensive, and the production volume cannot be increased, so the money earned during this period is quite satisfactory to Yun Yanhui, but to these paper merchants Say, it doesn't really matter.

This is the end of paper sales. Although paper has been sold in every household, it is still called photographic blue paper because of its origin. It can be imagined that when people mention it a few years later, they will also say that this paper was invented by the monks of Daxiangguo Temple.

No matter what other people feel, Yun Yanhui happily took out the money to celebrate. She has been really exhausted these past few months and has been rushing to work.

The end result was a good one. After deducting various costs and business taxes, the net profit is nearly 200 kuai, even slightly higher than the average income of businessmen in this era, not to mention if it is a farmer, I don’t know how long it will take to earn 200 guang.

Of course, they only earn three months, which is the peak period, and they don't open at other times, which is not easy to compare with other merchants.

Yunyan returned to invite Zhi and the others to have a big meal, and several fake monks ate their mouths full of oil. I also bought gifts for Zhang Shanren, Abbot and others. This time they all helped a lot.

As for the abbot, he is willing to sell this face to Yun Yanhui, and let Yun Yanhui borrow the fame of Daxiangguo Temple to make a fortune (at the same time, because of the name of Daxiangguo Temple, he actually did it for Daxiangguo Temple. propaganda), that's because he saw Yun Yanhui's ability and knew that Yun Yanhui would reciprocate and bring more to Daxiangguo Temple.

As expected, this was confirmed at the internal meeting of Daxiangguo Temple half a month later.

This year has been raining heavily, and some of the bridges in the surrounding townships have problems. The government has ordered the Daxiangguo Temple to repair it. In addition, the water conservancy has been built for the past two years, which cost a lot of money.

Therefore, the abbot convened a meeting of the great monks of the management, hoping that there would be a way to increase the income. Daxiangguo Temple, just like a company, cooperates with the government to do charity, to control profit and loss and expand its scale.

In this meeting, Yun Yanhui also participated as a non-staff member. Although he did not have the degree, he was only short of the degree. It seems that the whole temple is his own by default.

Yun Yanhui heard a monk's suggestion to buy more land. Although there are not enough monks in the temple, they can hire people to farm the land.

This is a routine method, but the more land you buy, the bigger the site is, which is also a challenge to the management of the temple.

At this time, Yunyan raised his hand and said, "I think we can dig a bit more from the existing resources to see if we can superimpose the output. For example, isn't there dozens of acres of rice fields on the outskirts of the city?"

As soon as the abbot heard the word "superposition", he felt as if he had touched something, "Brother Yan, tell me in detail."
