On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Li Shiyue would certainly not keep the news of the trade to himself. If this happened in modern society, and he had grasped the news of a certain trend in advance with his own ability, he would definitely have to get a mortgage loan on his own.

However, this is a feudal society. In a feudal society, if you fight alone, you will bring about your own destruction. You must survive in a group.

But we also need to have people to form a group, right?

The next day, it was snowing heavily. In the wind and snow, Li Shiyue knocked on Li Wangshui's door, agreed on a time, and then went next door to call Erdan's mother.

At this time, Li Wangshui also went out wearing a fur hat. "Shiyue, I will go to call Mazi and Mole, and you go over there to call Lao San, Wang Shisan, and Yangzai."

The wind was too strong, and as soon as he opened his mouth he was met with a mouthful of snow and wind. Li Shiyue had no choice but to wave to Li Wangshui to indicate that he had heard what he said.

Gou Laosan and Yangzi live close to his cousin's house, and a few steps ahead is the small house where Wang Shisan and his grandmother live. This line is perfect for notifying them together.

However, the direction where Ma Zi and Mole Zi lived was exactly opposite to this, so Li Wangshui suggested that the two of them should notify everyone separately.

The snow and wind were too strong, so Li Shiyue went to Gou Laosan's house to warm up for a while, and then waited for Yangzai's family and Wang Shisan's grandparents to return home together.

When Li Shiyue and his men came back, Li Wangshui and his men had already been sitting in the Li family for a while.

There was not enough room to sit in the main room, and there were several little kids playing together on the kang in the east room.

Dazhuang, Xiaozhuang, Erdan and Yangzi's two cousins also sat on the kang with their butts sticking out. The five kids were whispering to each other.

Li Wangshui and his companions did not come empty-handed. They all brought food rations with them. Even Gou Lao San, who came with his aunt on his back, brought steamed wheat cakes made at home.

Erdan's mother even brought a cabbage, and even Yangzai's cousin came with five eggs in a bowl, which Li Wangshui had bought from outside Qingsong Town last time. He couldn't bear to eat them at home.

There were a lot of people, but everyone brought a lot of food as well. So, after all the calculations, the Li family didn't actually have anything extra, so it couldn't be said that they were at a disadvantage.

However, Li Shiyue doesn't care much about these things when it comes to his own people.

After having a good meal together, Li Shiyue called everyone to the main room to talk while watching the five kids playing with a cloth bag on the kang.

The main room was still a little cold, but with so many people gathered together, we didn't feel how cold it was.

After Li Shiyue coughed lightly, he did not waste any time and directly told everyone the news he had heard from Liu Tan.

“.This news must be true!

The eldest son would not use this as a lie.

Last time we followed others and got a lot of bargains. I don’t know how much you have saved, but this time I didn’t forget about this good thing and told you directly.

Tomorrow my family will go to the county town to find the household department to buy land. If you want to buy too, we can go together.

You should buy land according to your ability.

We have bought the land, and we will have to hire someone to build a house in the spring, so we have to set aside some money.

Also, if there is real trade in the future, and more caravans come to our place, we will have to contribute money and effort to build a bridge from the river beach to the grassland." Li Shiyue talked about it in bits and pieces for half an hour, saying everything he could think of, and of course he also told everyone about the pros and cons.

“If you don’t want to run a business, you can just rent out the house after it’s built and earn some rent.

I have another business that I want to start with you all. This business will definitely make money, but I can’t say how much. What I mean by this is, do you want to invest in this business? "

"Investment? October, what do you mean?"

Li Shiyue actually wanted to do a business for a long time. She had earlier spotted a technology worth 166 points in the system.

What is it?
It’s papermaking!
Correct!
The papermaking technology was actually quite mature at that time, but in Sanshan County, Andong Protectorate, there were not many people who made their own paper. Li Shiyue observed the bookstores in the county and found that there were not many people who made their own paper.

She also took advantage of these shopping trips to inquire about the owners of those bookstores. Most of their paper was transported from Henan Road by boat.

Of course, Jiangnan paper is also sold here.

This makes the paper here really not cheap. After all, shipping costs and so on have to be taken into account. How can the price be lower?
When Li Shiyue saw the wild ramie on the riverbank for the first time, she thought that it could be used for more than just weaving hemp ropes!

This will be used to make paper, at least it will be more comfortable to wipe your butt with!
Of course, if Li's mother and others knew that Li Shiyue's original intention of making paper was to wipe his own ass, they would probably think that Li Shiyue was crazy!

In short, Li Shiyue has already made up his mind. In the spring of next year, he will buy a piece of land along the river bank and use local materials to retting and pulping hemp downstream. This will also save time and increase production. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
But she certainly can't be the only one leading the Li family in papermaking, wouldn't they be exhausted?
But if you don’t do it yourself, how can you increase the enthusiasm of others to do the work?

This of course allows them to become bosses too!

So, isn’t Li Shiyue setting a trap for Li Wangshui and the others right now?

"If you follow me, you can not only make money, but also become a boss. Papermaking is a skill that can be passed down to the next generation. With such a skill that can keep you from starving, can you accept it?"

Li Shiyue thought so in his heart, and said what he had discussed with Li's mother and others at home in advance: "This is what my mother saw when she followed the medicine woman to treat patients in the capital city in her early years.

I tried it and it definitely worked. If the deal is done, there's no need to worry about not being able to sell it!
If you believe in me, just follow me!"

Li Shiyue told her mother and the others that she was gifted by God and somehow knew the method of making paper, just like she suddenly gained great strength while fleeing famine. There was no way to explain it, she just knew it and gained strength.

Li Shiyue didn't know whether Li's mother and the others believed it or not, but she really couldn't find any good way to explain how she knew about the papermaking technique.

After all, this matter is indeed strange.

While Li Wangshui and Zhou Lanhua were still thinking about what Li Shiyue said, Erdan's mother stood up and said to Li Shiyue who was sitting at the top: "I believe in Shiyue!
I did this business!

If you say you can make money, then you can definitely make money!"

Erdan's mother said this, and the others were so excited that they shouted, "I did it too!"

Gou Lao San just shouted this out directly. Over the years, Li Shiyue was the only one in the village who took him seriously. Moreover, these people had never suffered any loss every time they followed Li Shiyue and had always gained benefits.

Gou Lao San believed that if Li Shiyue could say this, then he must be sure of it, so he followed Erdan's mother and agreed! (End of this chapter)
