The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty - Chapter 39

The first people who visited this paper-making monk were those Tai students who wanted to fight meditation with him at the scene of the lecture clearly. They have always been frequent visitors of Vasa. This time I heard this story, and they did enjoy it recently. The Four Treasures of the Study were so fascinating that he went to Daxiangguo Temple.

However, there are so many people in Daxiangguo Temple. The monks alone don’t know Fanji. They don’t have any characteristics. They have been around for a long time and they don’t know where the paper-making monk is.

At noon, they discussed and went to eat first, and then went to see the abbot after the meal, hoping to get some clues from him.

When they arrived at the abbot’s meditation room, these students were surprised to find that the abbot was copying the scriptures, and in the paper used, there were patches of young bodhi leaves, covered in thin pulp, just like alive. This is not in the scriptures. Said photo blue paper?

A few people suddenly stepped through the iron shoes and found nowhere to find them. They came to feel that they were all effortless. They immediately realized that they were here to hear that there is a bright blue paper here. They came to look for the paper maker, but the paper maker didn’t find it, but saw it. The abbot used photo blue paper.

The abbot said: “This paper was indeed made by a monk in our temple. He was from the south of the Yangtze River. He knew how to make paper before he became a monk, and he has a good and elegant nature. It’s only spread in a small area, I don’t know how you learned about it.”

Tai students thought that someone must have been seen using paper, but only wrote it in the script, otherwise the world would not know it. They quickly asked the abbot for the monk’s name and whereabouts, and wanted to visit.

The abbot called a little novice monk and told him to take the students to find the paper monk.

The Tai students followed the novice monk to a courtyard, and saw a delicate young monk sorting papers. Each piece of the paper was embedded with different plants, flowers and grasses.

Everyone was overjoyed and talked with the monk named Zhihe. Hearing that he had a southern accent, he couldn’t wait to say that he wanted to buy paper.

Zhihe was shocked, saying that he didn’t know that the matter of making paper was spread out. He did it for his own use, and he couldn’t do much in a year. But seeing that they are so sincere and deliberately looking for them, just sell some to them.

The students happily choose the flowers and papers they like, and they only feel that they are taking advantage.

After returning, through the re-dissemination of them and other similar successful people, many scholars soon learned that there really was such a paper, even if they had never heard of the script, they knew it, and couldn’t help being curious. So many people flocked to Daxiangguo Temple to buy photo blue paper.

In addition to them, there are many other people who also want to buy. Compared with silk cloth, paper is cheaper, softer and easier to wrap. At this time, many foods, herbs, etc. are packaged in paper. If such paper is used for packaging, it will be more elegant and novel.

Even if Yun Yan asked Zhi and the others to store more than a dozen loads of paper in advance, they were all sold out within three days. This still controlled everyone’s purchases. After all, there were many people in Bianliang. At this time, let’s talk, everyone is so passionate, he can do more, but if he wants it, he has to wait for the next batch of paper to be ready.

Under the gaze of many expectations, Yun Yanhui quickly settled the accounts. Even if the initial costs and marketing expenses were eliminated, the first batch of paper was profitable, and it is now a net profit.

Although the bamboos are cut arbitrarily and the raw materials do not cost money, at this time it is the time to grab the construction period, and a part of the labor costs will be allocated. A few brothers in the temple will be asked to help them to chop the bamboos and transport them back. However, papermaking is still It’s a few people in the family.

Zhisheng asked: “Yan Fei, should we also make the paper in other colors, so that there will be more changes, and we can also make poems.”

Yun Yan almost hit the wall and came again. He asked Zhisheng to call him his eldest brother, but Zhisheng felt that he was much older than him, so he didn’t want to call it, but only called his name. However, this man is a southerner, with an accent, regardless of f and h. When you call a goose, it sounds like you are calling “Goose Fei”…

Brother, did you call such a poetic name that my mother gave you as a wild goose? No wonder Jinshu can’t come back!

“Oh…” Yun Yan corrected it countless times, but the accent was hard to change. He had to faintly said, “No, we can only make money for these months. If we increase the color, we will consume a part of it. Time, however, does not increase the price much. The price is not high, so don’t do it.”

Zhisheng tried to absorb what he said, his face was unclear and violent, “Yan Fei, you are really amazing.”

Yun Yan replied: “…you are welcome.”

—

Although Yun Yanhui and Zhi were close to them, outsiders didn’t think that the blue paper was related to him. After all, he had no family education and had never shown this skill before.

When Zhihe came, Fang began to have the photo blue paper. Naturally everyone believed that this was indeed researched by Zhihe. Perhaps the most is that Yun Yanhui has a good relationship with Zhihe, so let’s borrow a place to build a paper shed for him.

Therefore, when someone wants to talk about the photo blue paper business, they first go to Zhihe.

Photo blue paper became popular in the literati circle, and it was only shipped in small batches, and the supply was in short supply. This momentum naturally made Beijing paper merchants eye-catching, hoping to cooperate with Zhihe to expand the production scale and make this money.

It’s best, naturally, Zhihe produces technology, paper merchants produce artificial venues, and everyone works together to make a big deal.

However, all the paper merchants were rejected by Zhihe, telling everyone that he had no intention of cooperating with others.

Or it should be said that Yun Yan told him back that whoever cooperates with is the end of shame. It is definitely because the technology is smashed and the cooperation is broken. How can you really make you eat dividends by technology? It is not a businessman these days. Fool.

Some of these paper merchants are from the south of the Yangtze River, and they also have the basis for papermaking. The intarsia technology cannot be purchased, but when others have not bought it, they are relieved. Going back to continue to break the technical problem is that as long as the experiment comes out, you can also take the opportunity to share Profitable.

Other local paper merchants, whether they only make other hemp paper and mulberry paper, or rely on imports, are more eager for peace and wisdom and cooperation. Because they also know that intarsia is not uncommon, and the advantage of local people making bamboo paper is important! They can’t go to Jiangnan to learn art, but isn’t someone who can make bamboo paper comes to Tokyo?

Zhihe’s refusal caused these people to start other ideas. Now he is a big piece of fat, and he wants to take a bite.

The paper merchants tried every means to get people here, as apprentices or helpers, but they were all rejected. This monk would rather be a little tired and earn less than he would recruit people, so he shouldn’t be too defensive!

He is a serious monk from Daxiangguo Temple, and he doesn’t usually do business, so you can’t threaten or persecute him!

As a result, there are always a few darker ones, and they start thinking about crooked ideas. That is to buy through Bianliang strongmen and gangsters to take a peek at the papermaking process.

For example, Lai San has already received several “orders” here, because he is famous for being light-handed. Not only is he empty, he is also a good one.

Lai San saw that the price was good, and originally wanted to agree. Fortunately, he discovered in time that this place was not only Daxiangguo Temple, but Yunyan went back to the kid’s house. If it was only Daxiangguo Temple, it would be nice to say that this monk built a paper-making shed next to Yunyan’s home. After thinking about it, Lai didn’t dare to take this business.

Whoever wants to pick him up, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if Yun Yanhui and the paper-selling monk are really their own, those who dare to go will have to recite Buddha to themselves…

…

Because of the rush, even at night, Zhihe and the others are still working.

The paper shed is just a straw shed. The so-called wall is not as good as a curtain. There are many gaps. There are lights in the shed, but the outside is pitch black. The shed is set up at the door of the house. If it is quieter, you can still hear the sound of Beibei gnawing bamboo shoots.

Yun Yanhui was also there to help, but he was young and had little strength, so he could only divide flowers and plants.

“Well, it’s not early, Shuangyi, you should go to bed.” Yun Yan said back to Shuangyi.

Shuang Yi shook his head, “Didn’t it mean that someone might have made an idea here recently? I’m guarding here, and if there is anything unusual, I can find out.”

“We rushed to work late, do you ask you to stay up late every day? When you grow up, be good, go back to sleep.” Yun Yan looked back at Shuang Yi and was still stubborn, and went over to bite his ear and said a few words.

Shuang Yi listened with ears upright, then nodded, “Well, then I’ll go to bed first.”

Shuang Yi took the lamp out of the shed, turned around Beibei’s site, and entered the house.

Not far from behind the tree, a man in black blinked his eyes, waited for the lights in the house to go out, and crawled to the paper-making shed.

Although he was crawling, his speed was extremely fast and there was no sound. When he went outside the hayloft, through the cracks, he greedily observed the actions of Chiwa and the others.

You have to remember every action, every step is a sum of money…

The man in black stared his eyes wide, trying hard to remember.

After a while, the man in black heard a noise behind him, and he lowered his body in fright. He did his homework before he came, and knew that the little lady in this family was young and had excellent martial arts, so he waited until the little lady went home to rest before he dared to come out. Now that the little lady has gone and returned ?

The man in black waited for a while, only to feel that the movement was a little dull and clumsy, not like a little girl could make it out, so he looked back carefully, but it was a naive black and white bear crawling here on all fours.

“…” The man in black breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be Fat Bei!

This bear is well-known throughout the Daxiangguo Temple and its surrounding areas. One is dark circles, and the other is Yunyan. After returning to the management office, vendors often visit here, and they will be entangled by this shameless bear. Want something to eat.

This bear is very lazy, delicious, and clumsy. He doesn’t know what species it is. The man in black has seen this guy fall on the ground with his own eyes! No wonder it’s so rare, it’s estimated that most of them are too lazy to be extinct.

The man in black is relieved, if it were it, it would be okay…

But soon, the man in black felt that something was wrong. The fat Bei looked a bit hostile when he saw him, as if he was an opponent to **** his food, and his breathing was not right.

The man in black quickly turned over and flashed aside.

Unexpectedly, the fat Bei behind him gave a low growl and accelerated. The man in black comforted himself that the lazy guy would never be able to run past him. But looking back, the fat Bei, who was still a few feet away, was already So close!

He saw the cruel light glowing in the small eyes surrounded by Fat Bei’s dark circles, and the thick bear paw lifted up…
