Lu Pheasant was shy, as if he had done something wrong and was caught. He was flustered and embarrassed. Chen Fang looked around and saw Lu Su standing behind him with an upright attitude, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Sister, why are you hugging Mr. Chen together? I have to tell daddy." Lu Su said mischievously. Naturally, she would not tell Mr. Lu, but she just wanted to tease her sister.

After bidding farewell to the two sisters, Chen Fang came to the main hall to find Lu Gong. If there were no accidents, the Lu family should be in economic crisis soon.

Seeing Chen Fang, Mr. Lu quickly stood up and said with a kind smile:

"My benefactor, you are here, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Chen Fang sat down with his hands in hand.

"I wonder how my benefactor has been living in the old man's house these days? Is there any negligence?"

After Chen Fang sat down, Lu Gong asked his servants to serve tea and asked with a smile.

"I'm living very well in Mr. Lu's house. I have a lot to do with Mr. Lu."

"Also, I'm just Lu Gong's junior, please Lu Gong not to call me my benefactor anymore!" I'm going to marry your daughter soon, so calling me my benefactor doesn't mess up the hierarchy.

Chen Fang cupped his hands and said humbly and politely.

"Mr. Chen has been very kind to my Lu family. What's wrong with me calling him a benefactor?"

"But since Mr. Chen is not happy, I will call Mr. Chen my nephew from now on! I wonder if my nephew has something important to do when he comes here?"

Mr. Lu stroked his gray beard and became more and more satisfied with Chen Fang's humility and politeness and his lack of pride. He knew that Chen Fang probably came here because of something and would not come for no reason.

"Does Mr. Lu know this thing?" After saying this, Chen Fang took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.

"Mr. Chen, what is this?" Mr. Lu thought it was silk, but he didn't think it was.

"Lv Gong, this thing can be used for writing. I just learned the craftsmanship." Chen Fang said calmly.

Lu Gong quickly took a pen and ink and started writing on the paper. He suddenly felt that it was very smooth. This was much more convenient than bamboo slips and silk. He quickly asked excitedly.

"My dear nephew, how much did this cost?" It would be great if the cost was low. As long as it was less than half the cost of the bamboo slips, it would be a profit. This would be much more words than the bamboo slips could record.

When Chen Fang was watching the drama, he didn't think about why Tongyi Xiaochuan, an idiot who has been in Daqin for so long, didn't get the paper out. If you know the principle, you can just experiment more. Maybe he just wants to pick up girls.

"This thing is made of hemp, bark, bamboo and rice sheets to make paper like silk that can be used for writing. Mr. Lu, how much does it cost?"

"What my nephew said is true. If it is true, it will benefit the world." Lu Gong smiled and held his white beard. What he didn't understand was that Chen Fang knew such good craftsmanship, why did he tell him?

"Lv Gong, I am willing to use this technology as a betrothal gift. How about marrying Miss Lu Pheasant?" Chen Fang believed that Lv Gong would definitely agree. He is a smart man.

As expected, Mr. Lu was full of smiles after hearing this. "Of course I know what a good nephew is. I don't know what I think of this matter. If you are willing, I will agree."

This is nonsense that Mr. Lu is talking about. He clearly knows that Lu Pheasant likes Chen Fang. Even if Lu Pheasant doesn't want to, he still has to marry her to Chen Fang. Should he lose such a big betrothal gift?

Are the orders of parents in ancient times a joke?

At this time, Lu Pheasant outside the door became anxious and quickly opened the door and came in, "Dad, there is no need to ask, my daughter is willing to marry Mr. Chen."

Chen Fang had just told her about coming to Lu Gong to propose marriage, so she had been eavesdropping outside the door. When she heard that her father wanted to ask her opinion, she naturally couldn't help it.

"Child, how can you be so rude?" Lu Gong said pretending to be angry.

"It doesn't matter, Miss Zhi'er and I fell in love at first sight, and I hope Mr. Lu will make it happen." Chen Fang said while cupping his hands.

"Well, since you two are in love, I will become a beautiful man. I will marry you on a certain day." Lu Gong said with a serious tone. Now their family can be regarded as relying on the big tree of Chen Fang.

Next, Chen Fang was ready to start building a papermaking workshop.

"Brother Chen Fang, we don't have much money left. I'm afraid we are in some trouble." Lu Zhi said in embarrassment. When they fled to Pei County, they didn't have much money at all. In the play, it was Yi Xiaochuan who organized a charity banquet to cope with it.

Chen Fang didn't like these operations. They were just serving the rich. Papermaking alone was a far-reaching source of income.

"How can such a thing be so difficult for your husband?" After Chen Fang finished speaking, he took out a piece of gold from his "pocket" and handed it over. In the era of Da Qin, copper was also called gold, and gold was also gold. But any amount of gold is gold.

, how much gold refers to copper.

"Ah, so many. And we are not married yet, so you are not my husband." Lu Fei said coquettishly.

"Why do you still want to regret it?"

"That's not certain."

The two started to quarrel in the yard. Lu Su looked envious next to her, and she didn't know what she was envious of. If you want to participate, Chen Fang will be happy to do so.

Papermaking does not happen overnight. It takes more than a month to make a batch of paper. There are eight steps in hand-made paper, among which the most time-consuming step is the "sun-whitening" step.

This step alone takes a week, because depending on the material, the pulp is its original color, either off-white, light yellow, or brown.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Chen Fang has all the detailed steps. If the ancients were groping for it, it might take several years.

In this era without bleaching powder, we can only rely on sunlight until it turns white. Of course, off-white and light yellow paper can also be used directly without any problem. But brown is definitely not suitable. It is darker in color and it is difficult to read when writing.

Can't see clearly.

When I laid out the first batch of paper, I still wanted to make white paper, because white paper is the most perfect paper. It is even more beautiful than silk and looks more precious.

In the future, paper can be divided into grades. White paper will only be used by the royal family and the noble class, and it does not matter if the output is smaller.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The scholar-bureaucrat class and the common people use natural paper. In this era of distinct classes, this practice is more in line with the aspirations of the powerful and allows them to express their sense of superiority.

.

During this period, Chen Fang also recruited 30 guards in Peixian County, all of whom were required to be members of the lower class of society, preferably from farmers' backgrounds. Chen Fang's only requirement for recruiting people was that they must be loyal, and other conditions could be relaxed.

But I won't be stupid enough to issue weapons to them immediately. This will take time to test, and the methods will come one by one.

The paper over there is being worked on in full swing.

"I don't know, Mr. Lu, how do you plan to sell these papers?" Chen Fang asked him.

"Since you are going to marry your son-in-law, you should call me father-in-law. I wonder what your plans are." Lu Gong was a scholar, and he relied on his reputation in literature, so how could he do business.

Chen Fang thought to himself, since he wants to call me a good son-in-law, then I have to find Lu Pheasant that night, and I have to confirm this title.

"Master-in-law, I have two strategies. One is to set up the Lu family's own caravan for sales, but given the current situation, the development may be slow. The other is distribution. Let's just hold an investment conference." Chen Fang thought.

He said, would it be difficult for Chen Fang to do a small business like selling some paper?

"What kind of investment meeting is this, my dear son-in-law?" Lu Gong said doubtfully.

"That's it... Then we can borrow their shop, and we just need to collect the money." Chen Fang doesn't look down on this small profit. By then, Chen Fang will own the world.

Do you still care about the profits from papermaking?

"The wise son-in-law planned this plan in seconds, but it was based on what the wise son-in-law said." Lu Gong sighed. This is really a genius. He can think of such a method. It seems that the Lu family made the right decision by relying on Chen Fang.

He originally wanted to ask his son from out of town to run the business, but he still wanted to rely on Chen Fang, so he had to get on the right track before handing it over to his son. Now it seems that he is on the right track.

"Okay, how about I instruct people to hold an investment conference in the name of Lu Gong tomorrow?"

Lu Gong nodded and agreed, this is a major event that will help their Lu family take off.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Lu, Chen slowly came to Lu Zhi's room. At the moment, she was watching a variety show in the room. Women's favorite thing is makeup videos.

"Brother Chen Fang, why did you come in directly?" She was a little scared when she saw Chen Fang's evil smile, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"Why, are you afraid that I will come in?"

"No, this is my daughter's boudoir. How can I break in?"

Lu Pheasant said shyly, although she is careless, girls in this era are relatively pure at heart, yes, pure.

"Oh, you're watching a beauty show." Chen Fang laughed and changed the topic.

"Brother Chen Fang, is this true? Can a woman really be so beautiful after applying makeup?" Lu Pheasant was obviously tempted. She was very envious of the cosmetics inside, and she also wanted to try it.

"Do you want the lipstick, eye shadow, foundation, etc. above?"

After watching it for so long, Lu Pheasant naturally knew what Chen Fang was talking about.

"Brother Chen Fang, you have it. You can give some to me. You are a good husband." Now Lu Pheasant's mouth felt like honey.

"Okay, I have both! But you have to agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Just..., okay?" Chen Fang said with a harmless look on his face.

Lu Pheasant's face turned red instantly, how could this be possible, but thinking that she was going to get married to Chen Fang soon, she nodded and agreed with a blushing face. After all, she would also be Chen Fang's person from now on.

Half an hour later, Lu Fei felt nauseated, hurriedly pushed Chen Fang away, ran to the side and vomited in disgust.

"You're lying, it doesn't taste good at all."

But she was still a little happy in her heart, her good brother would ignore her and go away.

Chen Fang is not embarrassed. You also believe this. Girl, you are still too young.

"Zhi'er, wait a minute. I'll go back and get it for you. I'll make sure I dress you up beautifully." Chen Fang took the opportunity to run away. He was afraid that Lu Fei would settle the score in the future. She was not a fool and would soon find out that Chen Fang was lying to her.

After releasing Chen Fang once, I feel refreshed. This ancient girl is different.

Here we met Lu Su again, who was a little nervous and wanted to say something to Chen Fang, but he didn't dare.

"Miss Lu Su, what do you want from me?"

"Mr. Chen..." Before Lu Su could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Fang.

"What do you call Mr. Chen? I'm going to marry your sister. Call me brother-in-law."
