Several people sat in this room with no outsiders around and discussed this matter for a long time, until night fell and late at night, when they finally stopped talking and left.
Shen Yuan and Ji Xun were taken to the guest room.
After the two left, Xin Rui looked at the brothers Qi Wenzhen and Qi Wenqin who had something to say, and also got up and left.
inside the house.
At this time, only Qi Wenzhen and Qi Wenqin were there.
The two looked at each other, and their hearts could not calm down for a long time.
They had just heard Shen Yu'an talk about her plans and ideas, and they also thought about how much convenience it would bring to poor students if cheaper paper came out.
They were also shocked by Shen Yu'an's intelligence.
A woman who should have been confined to the inner house, actually came up with a new method of papermaking just because she felt sorry for her father and brother who had to cut back on the money they spent on rice paper because of the price.
And according to Shen Yu'an, the paper made by her method is no worse in quality than the paper sold outside today, and the cost will also be lower.
Qi Wenzhen's parents were just an ordinary wealthy country gentry. He has achieved what he has today by starting from scratch, and he has come into contact with many children from poor families.
He knew in his heart what a sensation it would cause if what Shen Yu'an said really came out.
So just now he couldn't wait to propose cooperation with Shen Yu'an.
It was already night time, and the few people had discussed the matter, but they did not have time to go to the government office to sign the contract.
Neither Shen Yu'an nor Ji Xun expected that this matter would be resolved so smoothly.
They don't have to go through the trouble of trying to meet someone from the general's mansion.
The next day, according to the terms they had agreed upon, Shen Yu'an and Qi Wenzhen went to the government office to sign the contract.
Holding the hot deed in his hand, Shen Yu'an was extremely excited and wanted to start doing something big here right away.
The matter was settled, and Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun did not stay any longer this time, and went straight back to Longxian Village.
They had already agreed to select a location for the first papermaking workshop near Longxian Village, which was also what Shen Yu'an requested.
She only needs the General's Mansion to be the tiger behind her, so that she can "borrow the power of the tiger" before her wings grow strong.
The first workshop was built near Longxian Village, which was the place the Shen family unanimously decided after discussion.
Qi Yiran, who was imprisoned in the ancestral hall for reflection, left before she was released to take revenge on Shen Yu'an.
That night, the brothers Qi Wenzhen and Qi Wenqin discussed things with Shen Yu'an away from everyone in the mansion. The maids and servants who had just heard that Shen Yu'an could make paper were also ordered not to say anything before the workshop was officially put into operation.
Therefore, only Qi Wenzhen, Qi Wenqin and Xin Rui in the General's Mansion know about this matter. Even Wen Shi is still unaware of it.
After returning to Longxian Village, Shen Yu'an plunged into the work of building a workshop.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was the beginning of March. The papermaking workshop had been built, and all that was left was to recruit workers and start formal production.
The people in Longxian Village only knew that this new family had started to build a workshop whose purpose was unclear.
However, the Shen family still hired people from Longxian Village to build their house.
They didn't care what the Shen family was going to do. When they saw the Shen family recruiting workers, they just signed up. It was a job that allowed them to make money without going to town, but no one could envy it.
As March began, rumors gradually spread about what the Shen family's workshop was doing.
"Oh, the Shen family can actually make paper, which is more valuable than food."
"I also heard that the method of making paper was thought up by the daughter of the Shen family. You said they are all daughters, so why are his daughters so smart?"
"The Shen family is going to turn things around. Normally, the children can't even afford to buy paper. Now that the Shen family has become the papermaker, they will definitely be able to become masters in the city."
"Oh my, why don't I have a daughter like this? I'm so envious!"
Everyone was envious and said some sour words.
Aunt Pan was mixed in the crowd, and she curled her lips as she listened to everyone's words of envy and jealousy.
That time they lost two taels of silver, a chicken and a dozen eggs at the Shen family. When she got home, her husband really blamed her and beat and scolded her.
Thinking of the feeling of being beaten, Aunt Pan still feels the pain in her body.
After that, her family suffered from bad luck and strange things happened one after another.
First, Pan Hou broke her leg when she went out, and then her husband suddenly suffered a stroke for unknown reasons and was paralyzed in bed, unable to move.
There were several times when she woke up in the middle of the night and found several poisonous scorpions crawling beside her bed, which scared her so much that she couldn't sleep well for several nights.
She was also jealous of the Shen family's good life and made a few slanderous remarks.
Everyone in the village knew about the unpleasantness between Aunt Pan and the Shen family.
When he heard her slandering the Shen family, he scolded her so much that she ran away in shame.
While the rest of the people were still discussing, a woman suddenly said in surprise, "Since the method of making paper was invented by the daughter of the Shen family, if any son marries her, wouldn't he get a workshop that makes money every day for free?"
The woman regretted what she said and quickly covered her mouth.
Oh, how come her mouth is so tender.
Such a good thing would definitely be better if fewer people knew about it, but she actually told it out.
Ever since the Shen family arranged a marriage for their child after the New Year, there has been no further news.
Those guys seemed to have this intention.
On the contrary, the girl from the Shen family simply stopped making any movement.
Every time a matchmaker went to the Shen family to propose marriage to Shen Yu'an, she was politely rejected.
The woman regretted what she had just said. Wouldn't her stupid son have so many more rivals?
No, she had to go back and talk to her silly son and ask him to show his courtesy to Miss Shen.
However, it is still too difficult to trick Shen Yu'an into returning home to be his wife.
What everyone was most concerned about was when the workshop would open, when it would recruit people, and whether they could let their family members go as well.
…
As everyone was looking forward to it, the papermaking workshop also began to recruit workers.
Shen Yu'an did not only recruit male employees, but also many female employees.
As soon as the news came out, everyone who received the news was shocked and kept going to the Shen family to ask if the news was true.
Looking at the people who kept asking, Shen Yu'an had no choice but to tell them clearly that the news was true!
Everyone, especially the women who were given a disadvantaged position in this era, looked at Shen Yu'an who was standing in front and speaking, and they felt a burning sensation in their hearts.
Because Shen Yu'an told them that women can also make money with their own hands and hard work, and they are not just products dependent on men.
Everyone was shocked by Shen Yu'an's advanced remarks, but it could not be denied that because of Shen Yu'an's words, they had thoughts that they had never had before.
