Chapter 46

Li Zhi asked Qin Huaidao if he could give the drawings to the Ministry of Works, and he himself didn't want to give them, after all, this involved a paper mill.

"If you don't give it, don't give it. I'm also worried that people from the aristocratic family will come to cause trouble. After all, they are still dormant now, which is indeed not a good thing. We don't know what they will do!" Qin Huaidao thought about it and looked at Li Zhi and said.

Li Zhi nodded as well.

"Those people from the aristocratic families really dare to oppose the construction of paper mills?" Princess Chengyang asked, looking at Qin Huaidao.

She didn't understand this very much. Can those aristocratic families dare to object to what His Majesty told him to do?

"I definitely won't be blatant, but secretly, they don't know what they are anxious about now!" Qin Huaidao explained to Princess Chengyang with a smile.

Princess Chengyang heard this and nodded without understanding.

"The last time you were attacked, it was also related to them?" Princess Chengyang continued to look at Qin Huaidao and asked. She was very concerned about this matter.

"I dare not say now that someone is carrying it, so I shouldn't continue to investigate!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

Princess Chengyang heard this and looked at Li Zhi.

"Why are you looking at me?" Li Zhi looked at Chengyang in confusion.

"Who did it? It's said in the palace that it was the fourth brother who did it, really?" Princess Chengyang said a little angry and asked at Li Zhi.

"Didn't Bo Ping say it just now? You can't continue to investigate, until you reach the Fourth Brother!" Li Zhi said with a headache when he heard it.

Her sister is sometimes very tough. Maybe she can go to the Wei Palace to make a big fuss because of Qin Huaidao.

"Hmph, it would be fine if it weren't for the Fourth Brother. If it were the Fourth Brother, I wouldn't be able to spare him. He had urged his father to marry me to Tubo before, but I remember it!" Princess Chengyang said sarcastically, and it turned out that she had already held a grudge in her heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me what are you busy with in the palace?" Qin Huaidao interrupted the two of them and asked them.

"What can I do in the palace? Sitting in the palace every day is still fun for your house. Even if I walk in your yard, I feel free!

In the palace, surrounded by high walls, she was like a locked bird, without any freedom!” Princess Chengyang said boredly.

She was really tired of life in the palace. Fortunately, she had something to do now. She was doing some female red in the palace every day and made female red for someone.

A few days later, the wheat was harvested and a large amount of wheat straw was collected in the paper mill. The paper mill is now digging a large hole. Once it is dug, the wheat straw will be thrown into the big hole.

Now, the paper mill is getting busy again, and people come here to work in nearby villages and in Qin Huaidao's mansions.

Qin Huaidao was standing on a small hill in the paper mill. In the distance, a large number of workers were working, and there were many houses built. It was estimated that the ground construction here would be almost the same in less than half a month.

"Boping, according to this progress, the construction here will be completed in one month!" Li Zhi and the others came over and arrived at Qin Huaidao.

"It takes less than a month. In half a month, production will begin here. The big pits in front have been made for a long time. In a big pit, at least 200,000 large pieces of paper, or 4 million small pieces of paper like rice paper!" Qin Huaidao squatted there, looking at the paper mill and said.

"It's going to start working in half a month? This may not have been built yet, right? Isn't there still a lot of things to be built?" Li Zhi heard it and looked at Qin Huaidao in shock and asked.

"Build while working, you can't continue to drag it down. People from the paper mill can sign a formal contract for them. From now on, they will work here for many years and spend 100 cents a month! Keep food and accommodation, sign the first batch of people working quickly!" Qin Huaidao turned his head and looked at Li Zhi and said.

"I understand!" When signing a formal contract, the wages must be high, and it is only 100 yuan a month. Although it is a bit high, Qin Huaidao thought that the profits of the paper mill are so high that he should raise some wages for those workers, so that he can work well.

"In addition, the tools made by craftsmen in the Ministry of Works also need to be brought over. In the past few days, I will come here every day to let the workers start installing them!" Qin Huaidao continued to say to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi nodded.

"If this paper mill really makes white paper, those aristocratic families will really be anxious!" Cheng Chusi looked at the workers working and said in a serious tone.

"Anyway, they are worried, not us!" Qin Huaidao smiled and didn't care at all.

"Aren't you worried?" Cheng Chusi turned his head and looked at Qin Huaidao squatting there and asked.

"What are you worried about? Worrying that they will make trouble? They don't have the ability to do this. Besides, small-scale quarrels are useless for such a big paper mill. They don't have the courage to make trouble, they are nothing more than some tricks!

They dare not move in the paper mill, but we, the people, will move. However, you, they will not move. Only Brother Weishan and I must be the thorns in the eyes of their people!" Qin Huaidao stood up with a smile, stretched his waist and said.

"Then you are not worried yet. I have heard some bad voices recently. Moreover, the censor has written a memorial for impeachment and handed it over, saying that you were in Dingyou, and you also built a blue brick factory. At the same time, you also fought and killed people, especially the Tubo people who wanted to marry him!" Cheng Chusi said at Qin Huaidao.

"This is all a trivial matter. Your Majesty probably won't even ask about it. What are you afraid of?" Qin Huaidao said indifferently.

Li Zhi heard it, thought for a while, looked at Qin Huaidao and asked, "What are you most worried about?"

Cheng Chusi heard it and stared at him. He also wanted to know what Qin Huaidao was most worried about.

"I'm worried that you will be replaced, and I will be replaced. However, it will be difficult to replace me. Your Majesty knows that the paper mill does not have me and cannot be made out, but you will have a high possibility of being replaced. Someone is staring at this!" Qin Huaidao turned his head and smiled and said.

"I was replaced, who?" Li Zhi looked at Qin Huaidao in shock and asked.

He really didn't think about this. His father asked him to work in the paper mill and could he be replaced?

"Your brother, your fourth brother, or other brothers, you have so many brothers, and some brothers are representatives of the aristocratic family. However, other brothers are unlikely, but your elder brother and your fourth brother are the greatest threat, and among them, your elder brother is the greatest threat!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Zhi and said seriously.

When Li Zhi heard this, he frowned, shook his head and said, "It is unlikely that my elder brother is not interested in such a thing!"

"How could it be that uninterested? The paper mill is not just about making paper. There are many things behind it, but there are also many things to do transactions!" Qin Huaidao smiled, then got off the hill and said:

"From the way, there are many fruit trees planted on these open spaces, such as jujube trees, pear trees, peach trees, apricot trees, etc., and there will be some fruits to eat at that time!"

Qin Huaidao looked at the small open spaces on the roadside.

"Then you can only wait until the spring is coming next year!" Cheng Chusi nodded behind. These open spaces can indeed be planted with fruit trees.

In the next few days, every day, Qin Huaidao would come here to guide the workers to work. There were about 200 workers who signed the contract, all of them were from Qin Huaidao and others in the village. They could trust them, and they could also be regarded as the benefits Qin Huaidao and the others had for the farmers.

Here we can earn 100 cents a month, and we can also buy food and eat. However, it is a big deal. In the Tang Dynasty, each family had seven or eight brothers and sisters. I don’t know how much more grain is needed for one extra mouth. In addition, there is 100 cents a month, but it is not too much. I can buy 20 dans of millet and two or three dans of wheat. These grains are enough for a family of seven or eight to have a month’s food.

Therefore, this time, the recruitment of workers was rushing to come, and it is best to allocate them to about 30 people in each family!

Qin Huaidao instructed the workers to install mechanical devices, trough and install bamboo tubes, and at the same time, he also asked some workers to destroy weeds that had not completely rotten in the pits.

In the entire construction site, the areas where production is to be produced, workers who have not signed a contract cannot enter, so they can only take a detour!

Qin Huaidao has been here for five or six days in a row. At this time, Qin Huaidao's sorrowful days are about to expire.

Qin Huaidao first returned to the mansion and prepared to write a letter to His Majesty to explain that his worries had expired. This was a process that Qin Huaidao must do.

"Young Master, the Dingyou will expire tomorrow. Master, will you leave the mansion tomorrow or a few days later?" The housekeeper went to Qin Huaidao's study and saw Qin Huaidao writing something, so he asked.

"Well, are the gifts ready after leaving the house tomorrow?" Qin Huaidao thought about it and asked the butler.

"Everything is ready, every gift in the mansion is ready, this time the gift is quite rich. After all, the life in the mansion is easier. As for your instructions, you will prepare more!" The butler nodded and answered Qin Huaidao's question.

"Well, okay, tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace. In the afternoon, I will go to the Duke of E's mansion first according to the distance, and then to the Duke of Lu's mansion. Let's visit one by one. It will probably take several days!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said to the butler.

"Okay young master, I'll go and see what else is not ready!" The butler heard it, nodded, and said with a fist to Qin Huaidao and said.

Qin Huaidao waved his hand and continued to write, he was writing a memorial, he was writing a memorial, and he would be in the palace tomorrow to meet the saint, and the memorial needs to be written.
