Lin Jinyue was really nervous. Her mind was full of fear. What if she was exposed?
When she signed the agreement, it was stipulated that the existence of the agreement could not be disclosed to anyone except someone she trusted and who could sign a confidentiality agreement.
Obviously Gu Shao is not within this range.
Lin Jinyue's mind was full of how to explain. It seemed that she really couldn't act recklessly in the future. Once she met the knowledgeable ancient people, she would definitely be exposed.
But after just a moment, she had already thought of an excuse: "This is failed paper. In the past, you could occasionally find it for sale in the countryside. People like us who couldn't afford Xuan paper would choose to buy this kind of straw paper. It's not expensive. A thick stack like this can usually be bought for a few dozen yuan."
Gu Shao stared at the paper for a long time, "Failed?"
Oh Button: "Well, I have heard of the method of making paper occasionally. Maybe the materials are not good enough, or the craftsmanship is not good enough. In short, it can't make the feeling of Xuan paper. It can also be used for ordinary writing."
Gu Shao was very interested in this kind of paper, so he asked, "Where did you buy this? If we can have this kind of paper, everyone will be able to study in the future."
Lin Jinyue: "Ah... the peddler sold them. He only had these few left, and my family bought them all. It seems the peddler has left town."
At this moment Lu Guangyao came and interrupted their conversation.
When Lu Guangyao saw Gu Shao, he quickly put down his things and bowed. He explained, "Brother Lin and I came here together to show them the way."
Gu Shao only then remembered to ask: "How are you living in Yunhe Town?"
Without waiting for Lin Xueqing and the others to speak, Lu Guangyao started to speak, "General Gu, you don't know that General Wu...he took a concubine, who is the village chief of Yunhe Village. He said that all of his 20 acres of land were arranged on the sandy and gravel land by the sea where it is impossible to grow crops. As for his families, they were only given 5 acres of land to build houses, and they also used hemp ropes to enclose it to prevent them from crossing the boundary."
He knew that although General Gu was usually a serious person, he was indeed a nice person. He was not arrogant when he was with ordinary people like them.
Gu Shao frowned, "Is this true?"
Jiang Yun said, "But we have also figured out a way to deal with it. If we really can't solve it by then, I'm afraid we'll have to come to General Gu for help."
Jiang Yun said this because she didn't want Gu Shao to continue to take care of the matter. Firstly, they were not familiar with each other and their relationship was not that close. Moreover, the blacksmith was working non-stop to forge arrowheads, and they were also preparing to build a tall watchtower, which had already started.
Don't let people go over there and look at the watchtowers and weapons and ask, "What do you want to do? Are you planning to rebel?"
Gu Shao then said, "If you have any problems that you cannot solve in the future, you can come to Shawan County Military Camp to find me. If I am not here, just tell Deputy General Wang, the one who said he wants to marry into your Linjia Village."
After they left, Lu Guangyao saw that their expressions had changed. "You are really lucky. You have been appreciated by General Gu. You are only seventeen years old, but you have been named the first-rank Zhenyuan General."
Lin Jinyue was a little surprised, "First rank?"
Lu Guangyao: "That's right, your blessings are still to come."
Lin Jinyue complained to his brother: "I thought a 17-year-old young general would be like Huo Qubing, who conquered the Wolf and the Lair. I didn't expect that he would be... a little silly."
On the other side, Yunhe Village.
Ever since Lin Shucheng came here once in the morning, Chen Dawei and his son Chen Fuxi have been looking over there together.
Chen Fuxi watched from afar as a group of people were building thatched huts on the gravel ground, while more people were cutting bamboo to build houses by the lake.
Chen Fuxi was so upset: "Dad, didn't you say that you would leave this land for me to marry and build a house in the future? That's our land, why should we let them build a house on it?"
Chen Fuxi was really unhappy. He could use those lands to grow crops and vegetables or build houses in the future. Even if the land did not grow and rotted in the village, it would still belong to the Chen family.
Why should they, outsiders, get a discount?
Chen Dawei stared at that place and saw a tree falling down from a distance. He smiled with satisfaction: "Oh, they cut down the trees in our village. One tael of silver for each tree!"
Chen Dawei watched and wished they could cut more.
Chen Dawei seemed to see money being passed to him.
He guessed correctly that group of people were troublemakers, but was he afraid of troublemakers?
There were so many troublemakers in the village, but now they have to obey him and pay him the money he deserves. No matter how people curse you behind your back, when you come in front of him, you still have to call him "village chief" respectfully.
Chen Dawei was calm, but his son couldn't keep his cool.
Chen Fuxi ran out with a hoe in his hand: "Dad, I really can't stand this. They dare to occupy the land where I will build a house later. I will tear it down for them."
Chen Dawei grabbed his son and said, "How many times have I told you to keep calm?"
Chen Fuxi was furious, "But..."
Chen Dawei knocked his son's head with his cane: "Do you have a brain? Why are you going to tear down the houses now? Wait until they have almost finished building the houses, then bring more people to tear down the houses."
Chen Fuxi's expression changed immediately, and he immediately flattered his father: "Dad still has the idea, so let them work for a few more days."

When Jiang Yun, Lin Jinyue and the others came together, it was already evening.
Lu Jinyao rowed his newly bought boat and took away a bunch of purchased vegetables, porcelain, and daily necessities, while Lin Xueqing brought her mother and sister with her.
They could have arrived earlier, but Lin Xueqing's rowing skills were not very good, which delayed them a lot of time.
Lin Shucheng brought people to meet them and help move things.
When Lin Jinyue got off the boat, she found that the place where they lived had changed a lot.
The Wang family in the village knows how to do carpentry. Several members of the Wang family are working together to make wooden beds, tables, chairs and benches. However, due to time constraints and incomplete tools, they cannot make much.
I guess I'll have to sleep on the floor tonight.
Looking at the bare gravel land in the countryside, you can see that many thatched houses have been built.
Although it looks shaky and leaks everywhere.
The thatched house is very low. After all, it is not like a normal house where you can step on it to lay the roof. The whole house is almost the size of a tent. They can't afford to use wooden boards for the walls because they have to be used to make furniture, so the walls are blocked with thatch. As for the door, it is made of cloth from the bedding.
This thatched hut is really leaky everywhere. I don’t know how long it can last. Anyway, when a strong wind comes, this thatched hut will definitely not be able to withstand the attack.
But they could only do this for a few nights, and it wouldn't be long before their bamboo house was ready.
Lin Jinyue went to Lin Ziqi to take a look at the bamboo house they built. She didn't expect them to move so quickly. Lin Ziqi had already piled up a lot of bamboo.
The prototype of the first bamboo building has been completed.
Bamboo is resilient. Lin Shucheng racked his brains and, combining the drawings his daughter had drawn with reference details, began to lay the foundation. He inserted the bamboo more than one meter into the ground and built several reinforcing structures to ensure the stability of the bamboo house.
They didn't dare make the bamboo house too big for fear that it would be unstable. Besides, Lin Jinyue's family were all from the north before they traveled through time, and they often watched on TV about tornadoes approaching. All their impressions of tornadoes were based on the string of numbers they heard on TV.
To be honest, Lin Jinyue was not sure whether this windbreak forest could be effective.
