Chapter 40: Another bucket of gold

Views:

The screams outside the shed alarmed Yun Yan back to several people. He stood up unsurprisingly, "Oh, there's probably a thief."

The three brothers Zhihe were speechless. Although they hadn't heard what Yun Yanhui and Shuangyi said before biting their ears, from the looks 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 Yan walked back and shouted at Yun Beibei, Yun Beibei turned around slowly and walked over, was led by Yun Yan back 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 in a crying voice, "Please, save me..."

Yun Yanhui squatted next to him and pulled the towel off her face, feeling a little familiar, it should be a local.

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

He felt a little scared when he thought that he often sat on the verandah and played with Bei Bei.

"Is it a bear after all?" 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 its own strength. Especially when it's 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 happened to be very fast and powerful."

The man in black shivered, "..."

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 even know what you guys think. Although I don't have a dog at home, but there are Shuangyi and Xiong, why would you naively want to use this method to learn secretly?" Yunyan stroked her chin back.

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

"No, I have to give a lecture." Yun Yan replied with a smile, "Do you know why you can't get along? It's because you have no eyesight! Why didn't anyone else take this order, but you did so recklessly. What? 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 accept it. I told you to be a hero. Look, it's miserable. "

Man in black:"… "

After scolding the man in black to the point of being ashamed, Yun Yanhui stopped contentedly, "Okay, throw him at the gate of the temple and ask him to crawl to see the doctor by himself."

Zhisheng asked, "Yanfei, aren't we going to report to the officials? We should send him to Kaifeng Mansion."

"Why do you want to report to the official," Yun Yan said with an indifferent face, "Is it okay 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 from the people who bought it before, and you may not be able to buy it. . Because this is a consumable, the quantity is getting smaller and smaller.

In 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, and that is really good friends with Yunyan.

Such as Zhao Yunchu and Zheng Ling.

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

The wang ye now claims to be insane, this paper is not easy to handle, 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, so that he can be called Ah Dad is happy.

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

Neither Zhao Yunchu nor Zheng Ling actually 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 people, 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. Could it be that this matter will be hidden for a lifetime? , so he said it himself.

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? Why don't you talk? "

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

uh, this...

Yun Yanhui has never told anyone about this question. Zhihe and the others couldn’t ask such a question, while Zheng Ping tacitly agreed that he had made deals with those businessmen who traveled from south to north. Know it out of thin air.

At this moment, 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 this kind of person, it's just a change of mind to understand." He As he spoke, he hugged Yun Yanhui's waist and said with a blushing face, "Brother Yan is such a genius."

"..." Yun Yan turned back with a black line, although it was very touching to support him like this, but is this overblown

Zheng Ling asked suspiciously: "Really or not?" He didn't believe that Brother Yan was a genius, of course, Brother Yan was 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 share 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 was actually average, but the ingenuity of the mind was rare, and it was a pleasure to use it.

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 the blue paper that many people have been blowing up recently. It's really pretty, come on, give it to father .

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 Linghu 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, and 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.

Xianglan 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 better than the original. , and there are more patterns, such as the flower paper mentioned by Zhisheng, 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 volume of the photographic blue paper that Yunyan Huihui has dropped sharply. Fortunately, Yunyan Huihui is observing the market at all times. , and no longer produced, even the tools were sold, and they quit neatly.

Those paper merchants couldn't tell what it was like. It turned 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, they can't sell paper too expensive, and the production volume can't be increased, so the money earned during this period is quite satisfactory to Yun Yanhui, but for these paper merchants, in fact, Nothing.

This is the end of selling paper. 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. He was really exhausted these past few months, and he has been rushing to work.

The end result was a good one, and it was a lot of fun. After deducting various costs and commercial 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 have not opened at other times, which is not easy to compare with other merchants.

Yun Yan 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.

For the abbot, he was 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 promoted Daxiangguo Temple), That's because he liked Yun Yanhui's ability and knew that Yun Yanhui would reciprocate and bring more to Daxiangguo Temple.

Sure enough, 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 towns have problems. The government has ordered the Daxiangguo Temple to repair it. In addition, it has been building water conservancy in 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.

At 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 seemed that the whole temple was 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 her 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 in the suburbs?"

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