The Lu family arranged a house with three entrances for Master Zhan and his disciples. This house was not far from the house where Lu Mingzhi studied papermaking. It was only a short walk away.
The two people Master Zhan picked up on the road, Jiang Yizhou and Chen Yue, also arranged to move in. Anyway, the house is quite big, with several of their masters and apprentices living there, and there are still some spare rooms.
After a night's rest, master Zhan and his disciples got up and had breakfast and decided to take a stroll to Lu Mingzhi's house to take a look.
There, master Zhan and his apprentice saw two types of paper: jute paper and snow-gloss paper. Now these two kinds of paper are ready to be put into mass production.
Scholars all love paper. They touched it and felt that the quality of these two kinds of paper was no worse than their common yellow paper, silver paper, etc.
"These two types of paper have been developed by you recently??"
"Yeah, but the recipe was bought for me by my second sister."
Zhou Congguang: "Your second sister is so kind."
"Mingzhi, you're not bad." Zhan Ruoshui praised.
Wei Wenqian also followed, "Yes, Mingzhi, even if your second sister buys you a recipe, it is only an approximate recipe, but it is not easy to get the actual product from the recipe." This The process requires strong self-control and execution ability. It's not easy for my junior brother to make it.
Lu Mingzhi was a little embarrassed by the praise, "Master, two senior brothers, you are too generous. When I get here, I have to worry about my food, clothing, housing and transportation. I am only responsible for constant experiments. As for the lack of materials for the experiments, just tell me and it will be done." Someone brought it to me. It wasn't hard."
"Everything has been done for me here. I can't do anything to change my mind. I can only go outside for a walk every time I feel tired."
When the two senior brothers heard this, they were extremely envious. They also want this kind of life. Don't worry about anything, just focus on playing with your stuff.
They stayed in Lu Mingzhi's courtyard for a day, and they deeply understood what it means to open your mouth for food and stretch out your hands for clothes. If you need anything, just give an order and someone will get it. Junior Brother Lu is so happy to be here.
In the evening, Zhou Congguang and Wei Wenqian whispered for a while, head to head.
After finishing muttering, Zhou Congguang went to find Lu Mingzhi.
"Senior Brother Zhou, what's wrong?" Lu Mingzhi asked.
Zhou Congguang was a little embarrassed to speak, but Wei Wenqian gave him an encouraging look.
So Zhou Congguang plucked up the courage and said, "Junior brother, do you know what I was studying before?"
Lu Mingzhi nodded. Actually, Senior Brother Zhou had a lot to deal with. He really didn't know which one he was talking about, but he just nodded.
"Senior brother, we are still a little bit close to success."
"Really? Congratulations to Senior Brother Zhou."
"Congratulations. If you want to continue testing later, you will win. You know." Zhou Congguang made a money gesture.
"You didn't ask Master to help you?" Lu Mingzhi asked in a low voice.
"Master is very cold and ruthless. He asked me not to ask him. I begged him, but he didn't agree. It was useless even if I called him dad." Zhou Congguang felt aggrieved.
Lu Mingzhi gave him a sympathetic look, pitiful, really pitiful.
Zhou Congguang also felt that he was too pitiful. He just wanted to get things out, why not satisfy him?
Master Zhan turned his head to the side, as if he was fascinated by the flowers, and pretended not to hear the murmurs of his disciples. He was about to be hollowed out, and finally regained some blood. He was determined not to hurt his disciples anymore.
Zhou Congguang put his arms around him and said, "Let's not talk about master anymore. Junior brother, when you were in the academy, was your senior brother good to you?"
Lu Mingzhi nodded. Regardless of whether he was really good to him before, just nodding.
"Now senior brother wants you to do a favor."
"What's the favor? Senior brother, please tell me. If you can help junior brother, I will definitely do it."
"Brother, I want to ask you something."
"go ahead."
"That's it. Do you think that if my senior brother goes to your second sister and asks her to support me in getting that thing, do you think she will be willing?"
Hearing this question, Lu Mingzhi's eyes looked strange. His second sister hadn't even set the hook to bait, she was just making a nest, so Senior Brother Zhou hurriedly hooked himself up?
If he lives in the later generations, he will know a word called running in both directions.
At this time, Lu Mingzhi only sighed in his heart that his second sister was so lucky.
"Senior Brother Zhou, I can make an appointment for you, and you can ask her in person."
"Okay." Zhou Congguang felt that the problem was not big.
The younger junior brother and his second sister are generous and generous.
As soon as they moved into the courtyard, the necessary daily necessities were delivered to them. New wooden tubs, thin bedding, rattan mats, etc. are very thoughtful.
Cheng Yi, who I promised to give him before, also delivered it last night, totaling one thousand taels. She is really generous and caring. It's nothing like those people who pretend to be stupid when they want to fulfill their promises and give out benefits.
When the master received the money, his beard twitched with laughter. Even the master, who rarely praised others, said that the Lu family was kind.
Zhan Ruoshui listened to their words, but he didn't stop them.
His second sister, Lu Songli, didn't talk much, but she left a very good impression on him.
As for Lu Songli's identity, they all knew that the sixth lady of the Qin family was exiled to Liaodong County together with her husband's family.
It was not surprising to see her at the Sheriff's Mansion yesterday. My father is out here, and he is still the county guard here. It is normal to have some free power.
But something is wrong when she has so much money at her disposal.
Lu Mingzhi had to mention the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce to him in a subtle way.
This was also what his second sister asked him to say. His second sister's original words were that if his wife asked, just tell him, but if he didn't ask, there was no need to tell.
Now that he has figured out the origin of the money, Zhan Ruoshui doesn't want to think too much about other things. At least now, the second sister, the young apprentice, doesn't see anything wrong with it.
When Lu Songli learned that Zhou Congguang and others wanted to meet her through Lu Mingzhi, she took some time to meet them.
After the meeting and greetings, Lu Songli went straight to the topic.
"Senior Brother Zhou, if you have any needs or difficulties, just say, you are Mingzhi's senior brother, and I will definitely help." Lu Songli encouraged him with a smile on her face, looking very pleasant.
Zhou Congguang was embarrassed. When they arrived in Liaodong County, their food and accommodation were paid for by others. Before the people left, they gave them the round trip Cheng Yi. Now he still wants to swindle other people's money, and his conscience feels a little painful just thinking about it.
"Senior Brother Zhou, since Mrs. Qin Liu has said so, just say it directly." After Wei Wenqian finished speaking, he mouthed to him, thinking about your experiment.
Zhou Congguang knew that his experiment was really just the last step, so he said with a sudden thought, "Mrs. Qin Liu, this is it..." He began to introduce what he wanted to do.
Lu Songli listened carefully. Isn't this the principle of the dryer?
It’s good to bring your own projects.
Lu Songli glanced at Zhan Ruoshui and others, wondering if they also had their own projects?
"Mrs. Qin Liu, don't worry. I'm very sure this time. I'll succeed soon. It won't cost a lot of money. Can you - buy me some materials." Zhou Congguang said the next words very quietly.
But Lu Songli agreed immediately, "Okay!"
Her frankness and ease in speaking shocked both Zhou Congguang and his disciples. They agreed without even asking how much it would cost. No requirements?
Only Lu Mingzhi on the side had expected it and was not surprised.
Lu Songli immediately got into the situation and arranged, "Can your test site be also arranged in the four-entry courtyard in the North District? It will be arranged in the courtyard next to Mingzhi. I will arrange a steward for you to work with Mingzhi's courtyard. Just like Manager Yao, he will be responsible for all your needs. If you want to buy something for testing later, just ask him, and he will buy it for you as soon as possible. "
"Oh, okay, everything is fine, you can arrange it." Zhou Congguang was completely dizzy. Is this it?
"Is there anything going on between Master Zhan and Senior Brother Wei?"
Master Zhan shook his head hesitantly.
The same goes for Wei Wenqian. He is more cautious and wants to see more before talking.
"Mrs. Qin Liu, I will get it done quickly and won't let you waste too much money." Zhou Congguang said excitedly.
Lu Songli likes people like Zhou Congguang. Not only can they draw cakes for themselves, but they can also draw cakes for the boss. There is no need for the boss to draw cakes for him or give him blood.
"I believe in you, work hard! Just buy the materials you need to buy, don't be afraid of spending money."
Zhou Congguang was extremely moved. This was the first time someone didn't dislike him for spending too much money when he was messing around. He swore in his heart that from now on, his junior brother and his second sister would be his biological sisters!
