Shu Kongru's reaction was exactly as expected by Lin Zhihuang. She did not come up with this method at the beginning and immediately built a papermaking workshop. Firstly, there was a shortage of manpower. Secondly, this thing was too eye-catching.

This papermaking method does not have the same threshold as the waterwheel. Basically, you can have someone make it after you get the recipe. It circulates very quickly. It is not as big as the waterwheel, making it difficult to transport and promote it.

Therefore, as soon as paper is made and sold, many people will see it.

Nowadays, in troubled times, people's moral bottom line is pitifully low.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.

Before one's own power matures, taking out such an enviable thing is undoubtedly courting death.

How could Lin Zhihuang, who had just taken charge of Hexian County, do such a stupid thing?

Lin Zhihuang said seriously: "This thing is not called 'silk', but 'paper'."

"Yes! It's called paper." Shu Kongru obviously thought that this thing was made by Lin Zhihuang's capable men and was dedicated to Lin Zhihuang, who named it.

Lin Zhihuang did not explain, but said with a smile: "I want to build a paper workshop, so how about leaving it to Liuqing to take full responsibility?"

"My lord trusts me, Liu Qing will keep it in my heart! This matter is definitely done by Liu Qing. I will handle it personally and prevent this from being leaked." Shu Kongru solemnly bowed his hand to Lin Zhihuang and accepted him to formally surrender to Lin.

Empress Zhi, Lin Zhihuang entrusted him with the important task for the first time.

Next, Lin Zhihuang, Shu Kongru and Wen Nanfang discussed in detail the construction site of the papermaking workshop and the method of keeping the production secret in the future. They tried their best to make this thing unique to Lin Zhihuang and prevent others from doing so.

If the law is leaked, the forces under him can continue to make money.

The last few people agreed that the papermaking workshops should be built in various bamboo forests in Lixian County. Firstly, it is convenient to obtain bamboos. Secondly, there will be more bamboos transported in and out here in the future. People who come to spy will have difficulty in removing the bamboos for a while.

Make an association with the raw material of paper.

There are four steps in the papermaking process. The three people finally discussed and decided that each papermaking step would have dedicated workers. The workers' wages would be sufficient. There would never be any transfers within the workshop. Everyone would only know one of them.

Steps, and workers who come to work must have five people with household registration in Lixian County as guarantors before they can be arranged to work in the workshop.

If a person who enters the papermaking mill to work is found to be someone from another party, then the five guarantors who allowed this person to work will be punished for the crime of assisting spies. The five people will be sentenced together and pay a fine of 500 taels.

Expelled from the county. If anyone leaks the secret, he will be punished as a spy, stabbed in the face, given fifty sticks, and exiled thousands of miles away.

After the three of them agreed on these details, Lin Zhihuang recruited a hundred commanders and assigned them to Shu Kongru, asking him to lead more than a hundred troops under his command to protect Shu Kongru's future entry and exit.

When Shu Kongru saw that Lin Zhihuang was so cautious about his own safety and dispatched more than a hundred troops to protect him, Shu Kongru was moved to tears. His loyalty to Lin Zhihuang became more and more enthusiastic, and he could no longer tolerate others in his heart.

If anyone were to ask Shu Kongru at this time, who was the most important person in his heart? The answer would be no other choice than the lord.

After Shu Kongru and Na Baichang got to know each other under the recommendation of Lin Zhihuang, they all surrendered to Lin Zhihuang.

Shu Kongru's attendant, Wangcai, had been resting in the porter's office, waiting for his master to come out. He took another sip of tea, put down the teacup, and looked up to see Shu Kongru walking out quickly with his head held high, holding a scroll in his hand.

Wangcai was overjoyed when he saw his master coming out. He took a few steps forward, looked back, and saw that the master was followed by an adult with a hundred-long sign hanging on his waist, and behind him were more than a hundred people.

The soldier was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He scrambled to his master's side and whispered, "Master, have you committed another crime and been detained?"

The master is being mean-mouthed again?

Has the master offended someone again?

Could it be that the master is so bold that he uses the same trick he used to trick the nobles in the past to trick the wise Lord?

Didn’t the master just sincerely surrender to the female mansion master? Shouldn’t he?

How can a master who is sincerely loyal to him cheat him just to make a profit? So his deeds were exposed at this time and he was dealt with so quickly?

Where is the master going? Isn't he going to be taken directly to the execution ground?

All kinds of disturbing thoughts flashed into Wangcai's mind, and his eyes immediately turned red in anxiety. The weapon hidden in his sleeve moved slightly, ready to go, ready to protect his master from leaving this place at any time.

Before Wangcai had time to cry out with his excellent singing and acting skills, Shu Kongru hit him hard on the back of the head with a scroll.

Wangcai held his head and screamed, and this time he really burst into tears of pain.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Bandits have been rampant on the trade roads recently. These are all sent by Lord Fu to protect your master's safety."

Bai Chang, who followed Shu Kongru, handed Wangcai his hand at the right time as a greeting.

"Haha, it turns out that's the case. It's the slave who misunderstood." Wangcai immediately bent down and gave Bai Chang a flattering smile with a slave-like look on his face. Only then did he really feel relieved. The stern look in his eyes faded away, and the smile that had been hidden in his sleeves

The weapon was put away calmly.

After Shu Kongru left the meeting hall, Lin Zhihuang and Wen Nanfang walked together and went to the study together.

The large study room of the Sheriff's Mansion, which is specially used for business, has three desks on it. In addition to the original desks of Lin Zhihuang and Wen Nanfang, a new desk of Yang Xitong has been added.

.

After Lixian County came under Lin Zhihuang's control, there were many affairs. In the past, Wen Nanfang basically handled all the big and small matters by himself. Now that he has such a strong man as Yang Xitong, how could Lin Zhihuang let him idle in the courtyard all day long?

After thinking about it, I immediately arrested him and brought him to work.

Although Yang Xitong is not a brilliant person, he is very pragmatic and has his own set of methodology and efficiency in handling affairs. This is really no joke. One person can combine Lin Zhihuang and Wen Nanfang in the past.

It took two days to do all the work.

After Lin Zhihuang and Wen Nanfang discovered this, they were both pleasantly surprised and felt as if they had picked up a treasure by chance.
