Seeing that Qin Di didn't want to say more, the shopkeeper immediately nodded in agreement and expressed his understanding, "Thank you very much, Miss. Thank you very much, Miss. I, Qian Yan, if Miss is of any use to my place in the future, please feel free to come to me at any time!"
The shopkeeper was happy and directly reported his name.
Qian Yan? What a good name. Qin Di nodded silently, remembering the name.
...
Return to the bank and study room.
Qian Yan held what Qin Di gave him and looked at it for a long time. Then he took out a new bamboo slip and held a brush in his hand as if he was writing something on it.
"Money is a lot. Give this bamboo slip to the prince when you go to the capital." On one side of his body, he stretched out his hand and saw a man who was taller than Qin Di but seemed to be only in his teens. He was dressed in pink and pretty clothes.
Stand aside.
He took the bamboo slip and said, "Yes, Daddy." After putting the things away, the man turned around, the sound of bells could be heard crisply, and wherever the man passed by, there was a strong fragrance of peach blossoms.

——Wenxizhai, Qin Mansion
The footsteps stopped in front of the door.
"who?"
"Sir, can we come in now?" Qin Di heard Li Liuqing's voice inside before knocking on the door, but she didn't expect her ears to be very sensitive.
After the words fell, only a "hmm" was heard from inside, and then Qin Di pushed the door directly in. With a "crunch" and "crunch", the door opened and closed. The gentleman was still sitting at the Eight Immortals table last time, pouring tea.
It looked very uncomfortable.
"Miss." He raised his head and called out. The gentleman stretched out his hand, and a gesture of invitation suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Qin Dicai sat down, tea had been brewed and placed in front of her, and the gentleman asked again.
Smiling softly, "Sir, it's so pleasant, but now I'm afraid I'm going to get busy."
After signaling to Chun Xing, she followed suit and immediately took out the land deed of Xitian and placed it on the table in front of Li Liuqing.
Picking up the land deed and taking a quick look at it, Li Liuqing said with a smile, "Young lady moved so quickly, it seems that I was a bit procrastinating."
Smiling slightly, she stood up and walked to the table beside the bed. The woman picked up something and walked over.
"Miss, look, this is my plan."
A piece of paper was handed to Qin Di. Of course she recognized it as the first piece of paper they made, but she didn't expect that Li Liuqing had planned it directly.
Looking at the picture above carefully, I can see that Li Liuqing's calligraphy is good, and his paintings are also good. I can see that Xiujuan's small characters above are a little free and easy, but the paintings made with the brush are also delicate and structured.
Li Liuqing directly presented the entire plan with a picture. No matter what should be planted where or what should be built where, she had already followed Qin Di's instructions and added her own planning structure.
This is equivalent to a successful engineering drawing.
Observing Qin Di's expression, it was obvious that she had nothing to comment on, because this drawing was already perfect.
He nodded appreciatively and said, "Sir, the structure is very good. The land has been secured and construction can begin immediately.
As for the workers and craftsmen, just hire them. Don’t worry about the funds. If you give a reasonable price, someone will definitely come."
After thinking about the money Qin's mother gave her in the bank, even if she really lost money, she would not be unable to pay her salary.
So she simply said this to Li Liuqing confidently.
She said "Yeah". In fact, that was not what Li Liuqing was worried about. What she was most worried about was the thing Qin Di said she wanted to plant.
Everything else was easy to talk about. She had already found a supplier for whatever she wanted to grow, and she knew where it was cheap and of decent quality.
But what the hell is that cotton?
"Miss, I already have countermeasures for the rest, but what exactly is that cotton you told me about?"
Looking at Qin Di, Li Liuqing had a troubled expression on her face. It wasn't that she didn't want to believe Qin Di, but it was because Qin Di hadn't taken out anything yet, so she couldn't help but feel flustered.
I can see her husband's anxiety. Qin Di can't actually give a specific guarantee. All she can do is try her best to find cotton. She believes that Dayuan is so big that there will always be cotton, and she also made a special effort to do this.
I told Father Qin many times.
She was so concerned, she knew that Father Qin was also concerned, and if he really found out, he would definitely bring him back.
Besides, she remembered very clearly that there was a capable person in the "Historical Records of Dayuan" whose surname was Huang, but she did not have a specific name. It seemed that she was just called Huang Niang. In the book, she was called "Cotton God". She was the first
The strange woman who used cotton to make clothes was also the ancestor of the cloth art and once promoted the development of the cotton textile industry.
It's just that the cotton hasn't been released yet, and the man has no idea where he is. Even if Qin Di wants to look for him, he has nowhere to start.
However, after Cotton appeared, she felt that it was very possible to find this number one person.
It's a pity that at this time, maybe the time really hasn't come yet.
Anyway, there are many raw materials that can be used as raw materials for paper. Even if cotton cannot be found for a while, it will not affect the construction of paper mills.
Qin Di was not very worried, but instead comforted Li Liuqing.
"It's okay, sir. Cotton has little impact on the paper mill. It's just the icing on the cake. With it, our road is wider, but without it, it doesn't mean that we can't walk on this road."
Qin Di smiled, and her confident look was really charming. No matter how worried Li Liuqing was, in the end, under Qin Di's persuasion, he felt that all he was thinking was really just worry.
He nodded his head heavily and said, "Okay, miss, I'll start setting it up now.
I have already given instructions to Lu Dan. I will go find him later and then find some skilled craftsmen to start work today."
With her worries behind her, Li Liuqing was full of fighting spirit at this time. She seemed to have forgotten that she was Qin Di's husband, and all she could think about was running a factory and doing business.
She is said to be Qin Di's business gentleman, but from the facts, it is obvious that she is an errand runner, or a high-level errand runner.
And with Li Liuqing in front of him, Qin Di was very relieved. This matter was left to Li Liuqing to handle, and she just waited for the results.

a week later
Everything in the paper mill is ready, and the papermaking tools at Lu Dan and Shi Ban are also ready.
Li Liuqing found many carts and porters to transport the things to the Xitian papermaking site for storage.
The temporary paper mill has also been completed. Although it is very crude, the tools can be placed in it first.
Later this temporary paper mill will be converted into a warehouse.
At this time, the paper mill and factory as well as the craftsmen’s kitchens and dormitories were being carefully constructed.
Therefore, Li Liuqing did not dare to rest for a while and had to go on inspection almost every day to supervise the work.
Lu Dan was also helping there, and the two of them designed and supervised the work, which made the paper mill prosperous. Even before it was fully operational, many people nearby already knew about this place.
