At Pokou, the dock was busy, with coolies busy loading and unloading the goods, crew members busy sorting out rigging and sailing tools, and cargo owners busy counting the goods.

Merchants were busy bargaining. A large amount of cargo was transported by coolies on board, and the shipping was delayed for nearly two months due to the war, and now it has been "resurrected".

In Xuxian Temple, the pilgrims were busy burning incense. Everyone looked at the wooden sword enshrined in the temple and several paper talismans, and their faces were full of awe.

Next to the temple, many young people gathered together, talking about Xu Zhenjun's deeds helping Li's mansion to eliminate demons. Most of the people who came to Xu Xian Temple to burn incense and make wishes stopped.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Curse, this is Xu Zhenjun's magical power. It's amazing to help Li Fujun recover Nanchang!"

"And the sword that killed the demons, Hou Jing was severely injured by this sword, and then captured alive by Li Fujun..."

"I heard that night, the demonic fog in Nanchang City was filled with ghosts and ghosts. Many monsters were revealed in their original shapes. They were very arrogant. As a result, Li Fujun attracted thunder with talisman paper and struck them straight. Many monsters were scattered to death!"

"Yes, yes, I have a friend in Nanchang. I said that the government army entered the city that night, and thunder sounded one after another in the south of the city. That was a magical power."

Amid the discussion, the young men spoke frantically, and the passers-by were fascinated by the sound of discussion.

No one dared to say that he had seen it with his own eyes whether Mr. Xu had shown up to help Mr. Li capture Hou Jing and recover Nanchang. However, this is a fact that Mr. Li captured Mr. Hou Jing and recovered Nanchang.

For the people, the truth is no longer important.

What is important is that the people need a capable person to protect the safety of the country. Now there are really people who protect the safety of Poyang and the two counties of Yuzhang. So when everyone has time, they come to Xuxian Temple to burn incense. I hope Xu Zhenjun will continue to help Li Fujun.

Who is Li Fujun? Of course, he is the famous Poyang Li Sanlang.

Such a powerful figure appeared in my hometown. People in Poyang have to praise me when they have time, not to mention that after a year, Li Fujun captured two rebellious vassal kings alive. How can such achievements not make the people in my hometown proud?

In the street in front of Xu Xian Temple, Pan Bao, who had just finished the incense, walked with his friends while talking about his own experience over the past month.

"That day, the thief attacked Xiakou. I happened to leave the city and escaped the disaster. However, the river road was cut off and I could no longer return to Poyang."

"Later, I heard that Fengcheng was lost, but I was not panicked at all. Why? Because Li Fujun was in Poyang, it took only one or two months for Li Fujun to pack up the traitor who attacked Jiangzhou."

"Now, look? In more than a month, the thief disappeared. So what about Nanchang? After capturing Nanchang, Li Fujun closed the door and beat dogs."

"It is even easier to recover Fengcheng. Wulang from Baishi Village, Poyang, is the same village of Li Fujun. He easily captured the Yueyang King in Fengcheng and sent it to Xunyang."

"The King of Yueyang was captured, and the traitors had no heads. They were entrenched in Hukou, Baimao Bay, and the soldiers and horses from all over the country. They were so scared that they surrendered without fighting."

"The enemy in Xiakou was in panic all day long, so I found a ship and came back."

Pan Bao went out to do business this time, but because of man-made disasters, he lost all the goods and suffered a lot of losses. However, people are fine and the money can be earned back in the future.

Several friends who were traveling with him were also merchants. After hearing what Pan Bao said, he saw that Pokou was busy again. He knew that it was raining now, so he had to get busy quickly.

Of course, they came to Poyang for Xinping porcelain, but because of the war, the fall of Fengkou, the porcelain in Xinping in Poyang could not be shipped out, which made buyers and sellers anxious.

Now that the trade routes have been restored, a large number of foreign merchants have poured into Poyang, and porcelain must be in short supply. They are afraid that they will stay in Poyang for several months, but they are still empty-handed.

Pan Bao felt that there was no need to worry about this: "In Xinping, no matter whether it is official or private kilns, they have been burning porcelain, which is just a month or two delay, and they cannot be transported out. The amount of porcelain is enough, only the greater or less, so don't worry."

"No matter whether it is Le'an copper, military farming, or other transactions, it is fine. This is Poyang, Li Fujun's hometown. With Li Fujun in it, Poyang cannot be in chaos."

This is a fact that Poyang is not in chaos, so the others nodded silently. When the city of Shu and Nanchang fell one after another, many people turned their attention to Poyang.

Because the "making a difference" after Poyang's inner historian Li Li took office, once he was harmed by the thief, everything would be gone.

For example, people who borrowed debts from the public government at a low interest rate for "franchise" people, organized young and strong people to farm everywhere, those who opened kilns and burned porcelain in Xinping, those who opened mines in Le'an, and those who refined "water copper" for the government.

Whether these people can maintain their industries in the Poyang County territory in the past year depends on Li Li's ability.

As a result, Li Li seemed to have no effort to clean up the thief, just like a few seconds of effort, as if it was not a tiger but a mangy dog ​​that rushed over.

With such a capable person guarding Poyang, many people's confidence in Li Li is like the river water in summer and autumn, rising sharply.

......

In the county government, Li Li was studying a few pieces of paper and also lifted his pen to write and draw on the paper. Wu Xiang felt strange when he saw it. He looked carefully and found that the ink marks on the paper were not very good.

There is no doubt that this paper is not very "infused", that is, the paper is of poor quality and cannot show the ink quality, which is not suitable for writing and painting.

"Oh." Li Li sighed, put down his pen, and looked at Wu Xiang: "These sheets of paper are bamboo paper, which have poor water absorption. It is indeed not suitable for writing and painting."

Wu Xiang knew that Li Li was thinking about making paper with bamboo, so he asked, "Is this the newly made bamboo paper?"

Li Li replied: "Well, I asked someone to try it. It seems that as the craftsmen said, common bamboo paper does not absorb water well, and I don't know how to solve it."

"What should I do?"

"Try it slowly, otherwise such paper can only be used for funerals, paper money, paper people, etc."

As he spoke, Li Li smiled mockingly.

I originally wanted to sell paper products into "daily products", but it turned into "funeral products"?

Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Xiang asked, "Cunqinqi, why did you think about making paper? You don't rely on these papers to make money?"

"The reason is very simple. I want to start a business and let more people participate as much as possible. I can rely on my own labor and have a bowl of rice to earn, and at least I can support myself and support myself."

"We have tasted the taste of hard days, so I think that as long as I can, we must try our best to make more people have the opportunity to live a good life."

"When a person has a way out, he will not fall into the grass, nor will he take risks to become bandits, or water bandits, and will not take the initiative to rebel with local snakes."

"The siege bandits in Pengli Lake have now disappeared. Are you afraid of us? Not all, because we have given them a decent way out."

"Let most of them live a good life by shipping, fishing, raising fish, farming."

"Most people, if they can pass by their lives, will not be thieves. The question is whether there is a way out. Now, I am trying to find more ways out for them. This can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."

Wu Xiang understood Li Li's idea, but felt that the papermaking industry might not be able to take a big responsibility. Li Li didn't mind talking to his childhood friend about his "deep" ideas.

"To put it bluntly, I just want to tie more people to me through various exchanges of interests."

"Gray Duck and you, one of them captured a vassal king alive. This is the benefit of following me..." Seeing Wu Xiang about to speak, Li Li raised his hand and signaled: "Listen to me to finish my words."

"I often say that if a person has no real friends in his life, then other friends can't be friends who help each other?"

"Yes, the premise is that there is a mutual exchange of interests. You help me and I help you. Mutual benefit, and there will be close relationships."

"Otherwise, you can only rely on blood ties and family ties, which correspond to clans and in-laws, but in essence, it is also an exchange of interests."

"There are many kinds of exchanges of interests, such as me, who can win battles and create opportunities to make great contributions to my subordinates. Just like you and the Grey Duck, in this way, more people will be cast into my account and want to do everything."

"They have overcome all obstacles for me, and I have created opportunities to make contributions and improve their goals, and each one can get what they need."

"The gray duck attacked Changsha and captured the King of Hedong alive. I received rewards, and he also received rewards; you sneaked into the city and captured the King of Yueyang alive. I would receive rewards, and you would also receive rewards, and become the general of the military rank."

"This is the exchange of interests. Will our friendship not go further?"

"But not everyone has the courage and martial arts to fight. Not everyone wants to climb up with military merits. After all, if you go to the battlefield, you may die at any time."

"More people just want to live a peaceful life and strive to be free of food and clothing. So how can I use my interests to tie more people with me?"

"Of course it's a business, but everyone can do it. Why do they have to do business with me?"

"The ultimate business is to manage industries for the emperor, and secondarily, to provide industries for the powerful and powerful. Although they have no official positions, they have official power. To put it bluntly, they are officials and businessmen."

"Where am I? One is not a royal family, the other is not a noble family. Why do I let so many people follow me to do business and benefit each other?"

"I have to create myself, find more business opportunities, and take the lead in setting up many industries, and grasp the key points so that many people can make money by working with me, but it won't work without me."

Wu Xiang understood this: "Jiangzhou is full of bamboo, and bamboo utensils are very famous, so if you can master the craftsmanship of making bamboo paper, then..."

"Yes, in this way, I can connect with many local snakes through profits. If they can make a lot of money and their friendship with us will become deeper?"

Li Li smiled and said, "In terms of war, I can lead everyone to win battles, and in terms of making money, I can lead everyone to make a lot of money..."

"I can bring enough benefits to everyone, so what reason do they have not to stand by me, waving flags and cheering for me, or even following me to resist the storm?"

"They have confidence in me so that they will work hard to solve my problems. I will deal with the thief in a few seconds. In this way, others' confidence in me will soar."

As Li Li spoke, the topic changed: "Whether it is war or making money, more and more people are confident in me. So, at critical moments, will they still stand by and watch when they need their help?"

What is a "critical moment"? There are many understandings. Wu Xiang is not clear about what his little friend refers to, so it is difficult to answer.

Li Li smiled: "The critical moment I mean the chaotic situation, and someone needs to stand up and take the lead in protecting the country and protecting the people."

It turned out to be that, Wu Xiang replied: "That's more important than that, of course, it's you."
