"Huh? Is this...a letter from my lord?"

Seeing this, Wang Changling's expression changed and he hurried to the pigeon house.

There are special carrier pigeons for communication between Yuntianzhuang and Ruyang. One of the wings of the carrier pigeon is painted with a little red, for fear of missing the news from Ruyang.

This homing pigeon flew back from Ruyang.

After taking down the message and opening it, Wang Changling thought for a moment and handed the note to Li Taibai.

"Brother Taibai, it seems like we can set off tomorrow."

"oh?"

Li Taibai paused, then looked at the note,

"Move the entire manuscript printing business to Ruyang?"

For a moment, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Well, my lord's arrangement must be reasonable."

Wang Changling nodded slightly.

At present, there are hundreds of people in the shop doing printing, large and small, and there is a large amount of white linen paper, which takes at least a day to prepare.

.........

Wang Changling guessed correctly, this was Li Mo's arrangement.

Ruyang County,

In the county government office, Li Mo was sitting in the inner hall, still thinking about things, while Zhou Yurou had already taken a rest.

As a modern person who has traveled through the past, although I am not a professional in economics, I can still imitate a few percent of the essence even though I have listened too much.

Ruyang County is currently in dire straits and is lacking everything.

Even if two taels of silver were distributed to each of the common people, they would not immediately use it to buy things as they were used to being poor.

Only when the water in the entire county can flow can people have confidence.

The key to this water lies in the merchants.

The reason why the county town is only popular at noon is because merchants in the silk business will come out for activities at that time, and the common people will come out when they see there is money to be made.

But there is no other big business in Ruyang County and there is nothing else to sell.

After much thought, Li Mo thought of the book club business.

Don't look at it. Since the launch of Fengshen Yanyi and White Snake, the number of manuscripts shipped every day has reached more than 7,000, and Xuanyang Paper Factory has made a lot of money from this.

If all the bookstore business is moved to Ruyang,

Not only can it bring a group of new businessmen to Ruyang, but it can also boost domestic demand in Ruyang in disguise.

"But if we want to inject vitality into Ruyang with the business of the bookstore, we can no longer let the Xuanyang Paper Factory dominate. The copy business must be opened up to other merchants, and the white linen paper needed for printing books must be made by ourselves.

."

Anyway, Xuanyang Paper Mill has changed its owner now. Who knows what the five kings of the Li family are planning behind their backs?

It would be best to take the opportunity to get rid of them.

As for papermaking?

I have countless ways to make paper in my mind, but I haven't tried them before. Firstly, the place in Yuntianzhuang is too small, and secondly, it requires a lot of labor.

But these are not problems in Ruyang County.

Ruyang County needs space and people.

After thinking about it, Li Mo sent a letter to Yuandianzhuang.

At this moment, there was a map in front of him.

"Where should the mansion be built? In the city or outside the city?"

In addition to the affairs of Ruyang County, there is no way to delay the affairs of the mansion any longer.

I have always lived in the county government, so it is very inconvenient to do things. However, Ruyang County is such a big place, and no one is selling real estate.

Zhang Yuanwai's mansion was a good choice, but it was too unlucky, so it had to be rebuilt.

"That's all, let's discuss the matter of the mansion with the two gentlemen tomorrow. After all, the entire county will be rebuilt, so we might as well plan together by then."

After a long time, Li Mo finally failed to make a decision.

He muttered to himself, turned off the light, and then got into bed.

.......

No words for a whole night,

The next day, the sun rose and Ruyang County ushered in a new day.

Since Zhang Yuanwai was punished, the people of Ruyang County seem to have a little more confidence in life. People have taken to the streets early in the morning and started activities, and they are no longer as deserted as before.

Pedestrians came and went, talking mostly about Zhang Yuanwai's affairs.

Especially those poor people, their admiration for Li Mo has almost reached its peak.

In their eyes, Li Mo is the official in their hearts. If anyone dares to say that their official official is not good in the future, these people will definitely attack him immediately.

However, when it was almost noon, a news came out from the county government office, which made the merchants who came to do business couldn't help but start talking.

Yuelai Inn,

Several businessmen were chatting.

"Is the news true?"

Some businessmen looked moved.

"It's true. What the county government released must be correct."

"But the manuscript business is a collaboration between Yibo Lou and the Xuanyang Zhifang family. Can the county magistrate make the final decision?"

A businessman still didn't believe it.

As merchants, they knew everything. Although they were engaged in the silk business, with the popularity of the manuscripts, Xuanyang Paper Mill's business had become a legend.

How can one not be jealous when hundreds of copies can earn the profit of a truckload of silk?

However, many merchants were eager but had no choice but to make some sarcastic remarks on the sidelines.

Now there is news that the county government will soon sell Yibolou manuscripts to merchants at low prices. How can we not be surprised?

"Of course, our county magistrate's background is not simple. He used to work in Yibo Tower, and the best-selling manuscripts in Yibo Tower were all written by him. Now that he has arrived in Ruyang, Yibo Tower will

There is no problem in moving the business to Ruyang, but I can’t imagine why Yibo Lou suddenly abandoned Xuanyang Paper Shop.

Their previous cooperation was quite good.”

A businessman touched his beard and analyzed.

Yibolou became strong in the world, and Xuanyang Paper Factory also benefited a lot.

Many people think that there is another relationship between Xuanyang Paper Factory and Yibo Building. Otherwise, how could such a profitable business be handed over to Xuanyang?

"Who knows, but... the Ruyang County government has really started selling manuscripts. I will definitely be in the manuscript business. Only the silk business can make a lot of money."

After picking up the tea cup and drinking it all in one gulp, a merchant said.

In fact, despite the hard work they put in to invade Ruyang every year, they actually don’t make much money.

Most of the profits were made by the boss of Ruyang, Ke Da, who couldn't afford to offend him. They just drank some broth, but even so, they still had to worry about the bandits robbing the silk.

The transcript is different,

It was useless for those bandits to rob it.

"That's right, we can just make our own money. What does it have to do with what happened at Yibo Building and Xuanyang Paper Mill? By the way, the county government didn't say when they would start selling manuscripts?"

"The news from the county government said that it will take ten days at the latest."

"Okay, then wait for ten days. It just so happens that the silk this time has just been sold, and I have cash in hand."

There was a gleam in the eyes of a businessman.

If you want to do something by the way, test the waters first. If it works, it will be a win-win situation.

"That makes sense, I'll wait a minute."

........

On the other side, the county government office, the backyard,

Li Mo was listening to Li Zhe's report. After last night's discussion, Li Zhe went to the cottage at the west entrance to inquire about the news and had already turned back.

"My lord, the terrain of the mountain stronghold is dangerous, and there are more than 1,200 bandits. It will be difficult to attack by force!"

After a pause, Li Zhe said in a deep voice.
