Chapter 84
The Buddhist sect is now full of momentum. Whether in the court or among the people, they are ruthless characters who can walk sideways. No one can afford to offend anyone, and no one dares to offend him, and Xu You is no exception.
In addition, he did not intend to turn against Lu Hui immediately, so he readily agreed to this seemingly unreasonable request, promising that Su Tang would come to the county government tomorrow to withdraw the lawsuit and completely expose the matter. Anyway, only one Gou Mao died and injured a man with an unknown surname. The life of the tribe was as low as a cow and horse. If he died, he would die, he would be injured. No one cared about it. For example, the guy with a broken arm did not mention it, Sun Ping and others did not say it, and Liu Yu probably forgot that there was such a person, which was like he did not exist at all.
This shows how humble human life is.
After talking about the main business, Xu You and Lu Hui said goodbye. Liu Yu left at the same time. The two walked to the steps at the county government gate together. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xu You, showing a bit of fun, and said, "Gu Fujun is going to hold a fairy fair on the shore of Qiantang Lake. I heard that Xu Langjun will be invited to attend?"
"Your information is very well-informed! Why, Liu Langjun is also interested in Yaji?"
Zuo Yu was standing next to the willow tree under the steps. When he saw Liu Yu approaching Xu You, he was afraid that an accident would happen. He was about to come quickly. Xu You showed that there was no danger and asked him to stay where he was not moved.
"What am I, how can I have this honor?"
Liu Yu likes to belittle himself when speaking. Such people are ashamed of being humble in their status, but deep down they often regard self-esteem more than life. He insults himself, which is called self-mockery, but if others dare to follow suit, they will become mortal enemies and say, "It's just that I am grateful to Lu Mingfu. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone required for this Yaji Club are all provided by my Jubaozhai. The Langjun's golden slab is of course good, but this time I can only watch."
He said nothing, but his eyes were staring at Xu You's face carefully. Xu You's heart moved, deliberately showing an expression of annoyance, envy and jealousy. He coughed twice to cover it up and said, "Jubaozhai has just been established, can you have enough manpower to deal with it? You must know that as many as dozens of people as possible in the Yaji, literati and poets, writing poetry and painting, the paper and ink required is not decimal."
Liu Tao laughed and said, "Now skilled papermakers and marie workers in Qiantang and even the surrounding counties are all in Jubaozhai, working overnight. With the inventory, thousands of papers can be made."
"It's just this weather... Is it too late for ten days?"
Xu You used his feet to crush the mud on the ground. The heavy rain in one day turned into a continuous rain line. It would not be sunny when it comes to winter. When it comes to rain and snow, the work in the paper workshop has to stop. Judging from the current appearance, it is difficult to see the sun without three to five days.
Liu Tao was actually also moaning in his heart. Lu Hui asked him to prepare 20,000 pieces of paper for spare, instead of lying and cheating on the thousands of pieces Xu You said. No matter how much Ya Ji is spent, it would not be used. A large part of them would be put into Lu Hui's private bag after the rally, and the value was 300,000 yuan.
Taking bribes with paper is called bribes. Although the word "个" is actually still bribes, which is a serious illegal act. Throughout the dynasties, he has been using severe punishments to prevent severe punishments, and exile at the least, and beheading at the worst. But the reason why this kind of thing has been repeatedly banned from ancient times is that it is because power is in hand and it is too easy to loot money. For example, if Liu Yu wants to make the name of Jubaozhai through this Yaji, he must obtain Lu Hui's nod to agree to become the exclusive supplier. Therefore, when Lu Hui touched his mouth, thousands of papers turned into ten thousand pieces of paper, and easily got an additional 300,000 yuan, filling his personal pocket.
But Liu Yu could not tell that even if he gritted his teeth, he had to do it properly. Otherwise, he would not only offend Lu Cheng, but also have to waste all the investments in the early stage, which would not be worth the loss. If it really doesn't work, he has decided to buy old paper from other places at a high price, but in this way, the purchase price and transportation costs will increase dramatically, not only will he not make money, but he may also lose a lot.
But, it's all worth it!
As long as you win over Lu Hui, let alone 300,000 yuan, even 3 million yuan is spared!
"It is definitely too late for a paper shop alone. I am not afraid to tell Langjun that I still have five paper shops of a size like Sajinfang, so that everyone can work hard forever. Ten days is enough to meet the needs of Yaji."
At that time, papermaking technology was restricted by raw materials and its efficiency was always very low. Whether it was new or old paper, most of them were in the hands of aristocratic families. Even Xie An had no paper and had to ask Wang Xizhi for borrowing it. Liu Yu would have a short time to buy paper from other places to make up the numbers.
"Then congratulate me in advance! Qiantang Lake Elegant Gathering is a grand event for the Three Wus. If you are praised by famous scholars, Jubaozhai will become the largest paper shop in Yangzhou, just around the corner!"
"Thank you for your good words!"
After the two separated, they walked in different directions. Xu Youyou suddenly stopped and turned around and said loudly: "Langjun Liu, if things are inconsistent, you can go to Sajinfang to meet you. I dare not say anything else, and there are still more than ten thousand new papers!"
Liu Yu's body stagnated, and after a while, he turned his head, his face was gloomy, and he said, "If there is really an urgent need, I will definitely go to Sajinfang to meet the husband for help!"
"Who is this person?"
Zuo Qi looked at Liu Qi's back, Xu You shrugged and said, "A pretty interesting person!"
The quiet garden was very quiet. Li Mu waited at the door with two troops, but no one else was seen. After asking, he found out that he had followed He Ru's order and went to Su Tang's house opposite.
When she arrived at the second yard, the Winter Solstice quickly came out, served Xu You to change his clothes, cleanse his hands and face, and said, "I was originally asked Sister Lushuang to go there, but Girl Su was most careful and could comfort her. But Sister felt that one person was a little boring, so she took the autumnal equinox with her. Also, the man Yi Yi was afraid that Liu Yu would be unwilling to accept it, so she sent someone to harass Su's house in the evening, so she asked Wu Shan and Yan Yang to take a few people over to take care of her all night..."
The Winter Solstice rarely serves Xu You alone. When he squats at his feet and stretches his robe for him, a strong masculine aura comes from his nose. Suddenly his pretty face turns red and his body is so soft that he doesn't know what to do, so he doesn't get up for a moment.
Xu You didn't pay attention and walked out, saying, "Thank you harder, go get some food. After a few hours of hard work, I'm so hungry that I'm going to roar! I'll go find Qiyi first, and go and call us!"
The Winter Solstice sat on the ground, looking up at the roof, her eyes full of confusion. Although she was a virgin, she often had sex with Concubine Song Shen. Deep in her heart, she had always been rude to men, and she had never tried the feeling of being emotional. Her heart suddenly became beating. After thinking about it, it might have something to do with the fact that Xu You took Gou Ma's head with one sword.
Women always admire the strong!
Xu You's wisdom has been revealed in many traps in the past, but his calm temperament is at most admired and respected, but he will not have the strange feeling just now. Perhaps only the blood that was spurted out when the knife passed by, mixed with the horror and inner surrender on other people's faces, can she truly touch her heartstring that has never trembled.
Absolute power is undoubtedly the best*!
Xu You walked through the winding corridor and came to the stone arch of the three-entry entrance. He Rutong Zuo Yu walked out one after another. He Ru didn't hold an umbrella. He ran two steps, got under Xu You's umbrella, bounced the raindrops on the sleeve of the robe, and smiled and said, "I guess Qilang is coming. Why, I heard from Feng Hu that he met Liu Yu?"
Xu You tilted the umbrella a few inches to He Ru's head and said, "Well, this person seems to have some background..."
"The person who can return to Qiantang alone to take revenge is naturally a bit of cruel means!" He Ru said uneasy and said, "Lu Cheng did not close the case in court. Do you want to cover up Liu Yu?"
"It is both a shelter and self-protection! Lu Hui lents the craftsmen of the Baigong Academy to Liu Yan for personal use. If he really pursues it, he will not be able to escape."
Xu You held the umbrella and walked back to the corridor to shelter from the rain. Zuo Yu followed him in, helped to collect the umbrella, and stood beside him and listened quietly.
"How did Qiro answer?"
Xu You laughed at himself: "What else can you do if the situation is stronger than others? You can only obey your orders!"
He Ru laughed and said, "This matter alone cannot be punished by Lu Hui... If Qilang refuses to let go, Lu Hui can blame all the crimes on the supervisor of the Baigong Academy. At most, he will not be able to observe the mistakes and be scolded by his superiors. But if he turns his head, he can make Qilang unable to live in Qiantang. Therefore, it is wise to listen to his instructions for the time being."
The meaning of the superior is consistent in ancient and modern times. "Book of Jin? Biography of Hua Tan": "It is also strict in the county government, but it is often offensive to the superior!" Among them, the superior is the title of superior officials by the subordinate officials.
"If Lu Hui didn't cause trouble for us, he wouldn't be able to mess with him!" Xu You sighed and said, "I'm afraid that this Lu Ming Mansion is too close to Liu Yu, who has an unknown origin, and has a difficult desire to fill. Sooner or later something will happen!"
"It's hard to save people without saving themselves, so it's hard to save them. Let's look at their fate!"
"By the way, Lu Hui gave the stationery utensils needed for this Yaji Festival to Liu Yu. If I expected it was not bad, Lu Hui would definitely take this opportunity to ask for Liu Yu's money." Xu You seemed to remember something funny, and held the corridor column next to him, his body trembled constantly, and said, "When I left, I asked Liu Yu to come to Jinfang to buy paper. His face, ha, it was so wonderful!"
He Ru looked contemptuous and said, "The business is about to be taken away by someone, Qilang is laughing happily! No matter how much paper Lu Hui asked him, Liu Yu made it, and bought it, and at most he could buy it. At most, he could use the money to pay. But Jubaozhai's reputation, as the Yaji spread, will surely resound throughout Yangzhou. At that time, how will Sajinfang compete with others?"
"When it comes to business, you are not as good as me!" Xu You stopped smiling and said, "Although Liu Yu invited a few old papermakers from Yanxi to Qiantang to make paper, the place and water and soil are different. The key points of Yanxi paper are vines, in the valley. When knocking ice, thousands of rocks in the land compete for beauty, and thousands of valleys compete for flow. Most of them are made of water mills to make paper materials. In winter, the ice of Jinshui must be broken and repeatedly soaked. Qiantang has neither thousands of rocks nor thousands of valleys, nor Jinshui and Yan Teng. With a few old papermakers, with the urgency of time, it is impossible to complete the task within ten days. If the work is urgent and there are many defective products, it will consume more capital and you will not make any money."
“That is,?”
"In other words, Liu Yu wanted to make a name for himself, but was exhausted by Luhui. The paper products provided by Yaji are not as good as those of the best in Yanzi. " Xu You smiled and said, "What is this? This is called shooting himself in the foot!"
