Chapter 309: Family Affairs
As far as the current papermaking output of the new workshop in Guojiayaokou is concerned, it has been able to greatly meet the current supply demand of the Lin family. Moreover, the cost of papermaking has been greatly saved in manpower and cycle. In addition, Shi Ge is also using new low-cost raw materials, such as straw, to replace the current high-cost raw materials such as bamboo, wood, and hemp.
Moreover, in addition to the reduction of production costs, the increase in output. The quality of the paper made now is much better than the original paper! In the next step, Brother Shi naturally plans to use the price to squeeze the Jin family and expand the new market. Let the originally expensive paper become a common commodity in life, like what cartons, toilet paper, etc., Brother Shi is all in the study......
Of course, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of Yangzhou workshop. Let the Jin family lose their wife and soldiers this time!
Brother Shi talked endlessly about his plans to everyone, and Lin Chengming and the others also listened very seriously. Although there are some places where they don't understand very well, but it doesn't matter, for them, Shi Yuan has now made the impossible possible!
It wasn't until Brother Shi finished speaking that Lin Chengming nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Shi Yuan with emotion: "Old man, I really hope to see that day......
Yes! For Lin Chengming, what Shi Yuan said is too long-term, and this is not something that can be practiced overnight. But it is precisely because of this that Lin Chengming is a little emotional...... And Brother Shi didn't want to say this, after all, now he has no bottom in his heart. But perhaps it was because I saw that my hard work for many days had borne fruit, and under the excitement, I said all the things I thought in my heart......
"Grandpa, you'll definitely see it!" Hearing Lin Chengming's words, Lin Yingyue on the side hurriedly opened her mouth to comfort her, and then glanced at Shi Yuan fiercely......
"Yes! Yes! It's not that difficult to do these things, I ......" Seeing Lin Yingyue's eyes, Brother Shi also opened his mouth to persuade him, but when the words came to his mouth, even he didn't know what to say, these things are not simple at all!
"That's it! You don't have to convince me, the old man is already very happy to be able to do this! Seeing Shi Yuan's embarrassed face, Lin Chengming smiled slightly, opened his mouth to say a word to the two, and then continued: "I'll go and see tomorrow, if everything is true...... After that, the old man will leave it to you and Yue'er...... And Kobayashi Asahi is there! It's time for me to take a break! ”
After Lin Chengming finished speaking, without waiting for Lin Yingyue and Shi Yuan to speak again, he walked towards He Nangong Rong and walked out of the door......
"Brother Nangong, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk about it tonight!"
"Young Master......"
The conversation between the two old men quickly disappeared into the courtyard, and the atmosphere in the room became solemn for a while. This good news, but it seems a little embarrassing at this time!
"It's hard to see grandpa so happy, it's all because you just said those things!" After a short silence, Lin Yingyue pouted and said to Shi Yuan dissatisfiedly.
"That's it, that's it! This man really can't speak! Qing Lu naturally would not let go of this opportunity to reprimand Shi Yuan.
"Brother-in-law, you are so stupid~" Even Lin Xu began to take the opportunity to coax.
"Shi Gongzi ......" Qingshuang is naturally on Lin Yingyue's side......
"I ...... I ......" Looking at the people who counted him next to him, Brother Shi couldn't say a word for a long time...... The baby's heart is bitter!
In fact, Brother Shi just said a rough idea. There are many things that he doesn't say, because he knows very well that everything takes time, and all he can do is give some inspiration to these craftsmen. He could not, and could not, go directly beyond the course of history.
But no matter what, the dullness brought by the Lin family because of the affairs in Yangzhou finally dissipated a little. Everyone seemed to have become a lot more happy, and even Qinglu, who was a little suspicious, pestered Lin Yingyue, saying that she would go to the Guo family's kiln to take a look tomorrow...... And the others, not to mention, all of them have a trace of expectation for what Shi Yuan said...... And the next counterattack against the Jin family has just begun!
Shi Yuan came back so early today, and brought such good news. Although everyone hasn't seen it yet, they can't suppress their curiosity in their hearts, and they ask about the new workshop around Shi Yuan. This joyful atmosphere lasted until the evening in Lin Yingyue's bamboo courtyard, and everyone had dinner together, and then it dispersed one after another......
"You can accompany me to the courtyard!" After Qingshuang and Qinglu left, only Lin Yingyue and Shi Yuan were left in the room. Lin Yingyue said to Brother Shi, who had nothing to do.
These days, Shi Yuan basically only comes back when it is almost dark. And Lin Yingyue was always waiting for him in the courtyard, but after he came back, he only hurriedly said a few words, and Shi Yuan had to go back to the room to draw some drawings and improve some links...... Except for the morning when Brother Shi sent in early, the two of them could talk something, but it was a long time since they were alone like this at night!
Brother Shi, who felt a little guilty in his heart, heard Lin Yingyue's words, so he agreed without thinking about it. It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed!
When the two came to the courtyard, the secluded bamboo forest, mixed with the sound of insects one after another, also made the courtyard a little more peaceful......
"Shi Lang~" Lin Yingyue, who was walking in front, suddenly opened her mouth and called out to Shi Yuan, who had just broken off a flower. The voice was quiet, and it seemed to have something in mind.
"Huh?" Hearing Lin Yingyue's words, Shi Yuan responded in his mouth, and hurriedly threw away the flowers in his hand, and then asked Lin Yingyue in front of him, "Yue'er, what's wrong?" ”
Lin Yingyue, who turned around, saw Shi Yuan's behavior in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile lightly, and then sighed: "You...... Are you really going to marry Yue'er? ”
For Lin Yingyue's brainless question, Brother Shi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and gently hugged Lin Yingyue, and replied with great certainty: "Of course it will!" Isn't that what I'm doing? ”
"Hmm!" Hearing Shi Yuan's answer, Lin Yingyue, who buried her head in her arms, responded softly, and then hugged Shi Yuan tighter.
Brother Shi didn't think that Lin Yingyue would say this to him for no reason, and while patting his back gently, he asked, "Why did you suddenly ask me this?" ”
Lin Yingyue heard this, so she let go of Shi Yuan's embrace, sighed softly, and then looked into the distance with some distraction, and replied: "Although Yue'er can't understand the situation in this world, she also knows that the world is not peaceful now!" The taxes and silver paid by the family to the government are increasing year by year, and this year is even more outrageous! 'M afraid...... It's going to be war again! ”
