Chapter 209: The First Paper Workshop

Several people sat in this room with no outsiders and discussed this matter for a long time. It was not until nightfall that they could stop talking and leave.

Shen Yue and Ji Xun were taken to the guest room.

After the two left, Xin Rui looked at the brothers Qi Wenzhen and Qi Wenqin who had something to say, and also stood up and left.

inside the house.

At this time, only Qi Wenzhen and Qi Wenqin were present.

The two looked at each other, unable to calm down for a long time.

They had just heard Shen Yue talk about her plans and ideas, and they also thought about how much convenience it would bring to poor students if cheaper paper came out.

They were also shocked by Shen Yu's intelligence.

A woman who should have been relegated to the inner house came up with a new paper-making method on her own just because she felt sorry for her father and brother who repeatedly cut down the cost of buying rice paper because of the price.

And according to Shen Yuyu, the quality of the paper produced by her method is no worse than those sold outside today, and the cost will be cheaper.

Qi Wenzhen's father was just an ordinary wealthy country squire. To achieve his current achievements, he started from scratch and came into contact with many children from poor families.

He knew in his heart what a sensation it would cause if what Shen Yuyu said came out.

So just now he couldn't wait to bring up the matter of cooperating with Shen Yue.

It was already night at this time, and several people had discussed the matter, but there was no time to go to the government office to sign the deed.

Neither Shen Yuyu nor Ji Xun expected that this matter would be resolved so smoothly.

There was no need for them to go to all the trouble of meeting someone from the General's Mansion.

On the second day, according to the terms they had negotiated, Shen Yuyu and Qi Wenzhen went to the government office to sign the deed.

With the deed in hand, Shen Yuyu was very excited and wanted to start doing something big here right away.

The matter was over, Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun didn't stay any longer this time, and went back to Longxian Village directly.

They had already agreed that the first paper-making workshop would be located near Longxian Village, which was also Shen Yu's request.

She just needs the General Mansion to be the tiger behind her, so that she can fake the power of a tiger before her wings grow strong.

The first workshop was built near Longxian Village, which was the place decided unanimously by the Shen family after discussion.

Qi Yiran, who was imprisoned in the ancestral hall to think about her past, had already left before she was released to take revenge on Shen Yuyu.

That night, brothers Qi Wenzhen and Qi Wenqin discussed the matter with Shen Yuyu while avoiding everyone in the mansion. The maids and servants who had just heard about Shen Yuyu's papermaking were also ordered not to say anything until the workshop was officially put into operation.

So now only Qi Wenzhen, Qi Wenqin and Xin Rui in the General's Mansion know about this matter, and even the Wen family doesn't know about it yet.

After returning to Longxian Village, Shen Yuyu plunged into the work of building a workshop.

Time passed by slowly, and soon it was early March. The papermaking workshop had been completed, and it was just a matter of recruiting workers to officially put it into production.

The people in Longxian Village only knew that this new family had arrived and started building a workshop with no apparent purpose.

But when the Shen family built their house, they still hired people from Longxian Village.

They don't care what the Shen family wants to do. When they see the Shen family recruiting workers, they just sign up. They can make a living without going to town, but no one can envy them.

As March entered, rumors gradually spread about what the Shen family's workshop was going to do.

"Hey, the Shen family can actually make paper. That is something more valuable than food."

"I also heard that this paper-making method was thought up by the daughter of the Shen family. You said they are all daughters, but his family is smart and smart."

"The Shen family is about to turn over. Normally, the children can't even afford paper. Now that the Shen family has become the paper makers, they will definitely be able to become masters in that city."

"Hey, why don't I have a daughter like this? I'm so enviable!"

Everyone was envious and said sarcastic words.

Aunt Pan mingled among the crowd and curled her lips as she listened to everyone's words of envy and jealousy.

That time they lost 2 taels of silver, a chicken and a dozen eggs at the Shen family. When they got home, her men blamed her and beat her up.

Thinking of the feeling of being beaten, Aunt Pan felt that her body was still hurting.

From then on, her family was plagued by bad luck, and strange things happened constantly.

First, Pan Hou broke his leg when he went out, and then her husband suddenly suffered a stroke for some reason and collapsed on the bed with difficulty moving.

There were also several times when she woke up in the middle of the night and found several poisonous scorpions crawling beside her bed, which scared her so much that she couldn't sleep well for several nights.

In her heart, she was also jealous of the Shen family's good life, so she made a few slanderous remarks.

No one in the village knew about the unpleasantness between Aunt Pan and the Shen family.

When she heard her slandering the Shen family, she ran away in disgrace.

While the rest of the people were still continuing to discuss, a woman suddenly made a fuss and said: "Since the daughter of the Shen family came up with the idea of ​​making paper, then if someone's son married her, wouldn't it be a waste of all the money he earned?

Silver’s workshop!”

The woman regretted her words and quickly covered her mouth.

Ouch, her mouth is so tender and quick.

The fewer people who knew about such a good thing, the better, and she even told her about it.

Ever since the Shen family showed their children a marriage ceremony at the end of the year, there has been no movement.

Those boys seem to have intentions in this regard.

On the contrary, the girl from the Shen family just made no movement.

There were also matchmakers who went to the Shen family to help Shen Yuyu with matchmaking, but they were all declined.

The woman regretted what she just said. Her stupid son would have so many more opponents.

No, she had to go back quickly and talk to her stupid son, so that he could go to Miss Shen and show more attentiveness.

But it is still too difficult to trick Shen Yuyu into returning home as a wife.

What everyone is most concerned about is when the workshop will open, when it will recruit people, and whether they can let their family members go.



Amid everyone's expectations, the papermaking workshop also began to recruit workers.

Shen Yuyu does not only recruit male employees, but also recruits many women.

As soon as the news came out, everyone who got the news was shocked and kept going to Shen's house to ask if the news was true.

Seeing the people who kept asking, Shen Yue had no choice but to tell them clearly that the news was true!

Everyone, especially women who were given a weak position in this era, looked at Shen Yuyu who was standing in front and was talking, and felt their hearts burning.

Because Shen Yuyu told them that women can also make money with their own hands and hard work, and they are not just products dependent on men.

Everyone was shocked by Shen Yue's forward speech, but it cannot be denied that because of Shen Yue's words, thoughts that they had never had before arose in their hearts.
