Chapter 129 Li Jinong’s shock and loss

"No problem, no problem, no blame, that's all. It's natural." The housekeeper couldn't speak anymore, and his face turned red from holding back the words.

Li Jinong saw the housekeeper's embarrassment and thought he had disturbed him, so he quickly said: "Butler, I'm sorry to bother you. If you have anything to do, go ahead and get busy! I'll just wait here for Zhao'er."

"That's fine!" The housekeeper thought for a moment and thought that it was appropriate for the master to be familiar with the place as he had just arrived, so he bent down and said, "I will leave now and prepare a side room for the master."

After the butler left, Li Jinong felt greatly relieved and thought: It seems that his nephew has chosen the right boss. Judging from the butler's attitude, the boss will not make things difficult for the servants. And this butler, he said something to a down-and-out young master.

'Young Master', he still calls himself 'Master' when he is no longer in the limelight, and he still calls himself 'Old Slave', but he still prepares a private room for himself. It is really rare! There are still good people in the world.

Like a master, like a slave, it seems that my boss is also a kind person.

Thinking like this, Li Jinong felt at ease and was happy that his nephew met such a family.

After the housekeeper left, Li Jinong still couldn't forget such lush ears of rice, and muttered: "With such lush ears of rice, the yield per mu should be quite high! I wonder if there are five stones. If there are, it is really the first of its kind in the Qin Dynasty."

After sighing, he walked inside, but met an older farmer. Driven by curiosity, he asked: "Old man, can these ears of rice produce four stones per hour?" He did not dare to say the five stones he thought in his mind.

It's so funny.

The farmer had just seen that the housekeeper was treating this person with respect, so naturally he did not dare to neglect him and said honestly: "No more!"

Li Jinong secretly thought that indeed, he had enough eyesight, so he must be able to produce five stones per hour, so he expressed his thoughts, "It must be five stones!"

The farmer looked at Li Jinong strangely, but he did not dare to criticize, and said naively: "The housekeeper secretly calculated it, and it was eight stones."

"Eight stones?" Li Jinong was shocked and couldn't calm down. Eight stones? He seemed to have heard a big joke. Eight stones was too outrageous. It had never been seen in Great Qin. Let alone eight stones, three stones were very rare.

But the old farmer didn't look like he was deceiving him, and the housekeeper didn't look like a liar, so he naturally believed him.

"Zhaoer has found a great employer!" Li Jinong was very happy, but asked: "Did Li Zhaoer participate in the planting?"

Such good rice would be a waste if my nephew did not participate.

Hearing this, the old farmer's face changed as if it were the weather in June. He glared at Li Jinong without any pretense and walked away without looking back.

Li Jinong was puzzled. He just wanted to know about his nephew's situation. Did the old farmer change his expression?

Although Chang'an Township is nice, the people are a bit strange.

He didn't dare to go any further, so he turned back and walked to other places. He only heard a very noisy place, with swaying figures, no less than a hundred people. It was a large workshop, and people were constantly coming in and out, making it very lively.

Li Jinong was very puzzled as to why there were so many people there and what they were doing. You should know that this is a place engaged in agricultural production. It was inappropriate for so many people to be engaged in agricultural production, so he walked over to take a look.

What he saw was that some people were tinkering with some remnants. After these things were smashed and soaked in large containers, they had an unpleasant smell.

"Hey! The boss seems smart, but he is a stupid person. Why are you tinkering with these things? Isn't this a waste of manpower?" Li Jinong shook his head and continued walking in. He saw the sticky things being fished out and then dried.

Qian, at this moment, he was confused. This thing looked a bit familiar. He hurriedly pulled the person aside and asked:

"What are you doing?"

Others didn't know who he was, but the housekeeper had told him not to offend strangers who came here, so he said honestly: "This is for making paper."

"Papermaking?" Li Jinong raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He had heard of paper. It had become very popular in Xianyang recently and had spread to surrounding markets. He heard that it was used by a large number of university students and the price was very cheap. Everyone rushed to buy it.

"Did the popular paper in Xianyang City come from here?" he asked others.

Others were not surprised. Too many people asked this question, so they said: "Of course, this is something my young master developed by himself, and it has solved the learning problems of many students."

Others are very proud.

"Your young master developed it by himself?" Li Jinong was even more surprised.

Young master, he must be the son of his employer. He has a good son. How could he develop this thing?

You must know that paper is selling like crazy in Xianyang City, and it has also spread to surrounding areas, but the supply is still in short supply, causing students to ask everyone when they meet, have you bought paper? What does this mean? It shows that paper has become very important in the minds of students.

This is the master’s achievement!

"Hey! People have children, and my Li family also has children, but they are so different. Our Li family is really in decline." Li Jinong muttered to himself, feeling extremely helpless.

"Of course, the young master not only made paper, but also invented the printing technology!" Others said ostentatiously, pointing to the piled storage room, "Look! Those papers will be used. A part is taken out and printed, and it becomes a book."

"Printing? Book? Was it also produced by your young master?" Li Jinong was confused. His son invented endless things, and Zhao'er was really incomparable with him.

For a while, he continued to sigh, it was all his fault that the Li family was in decline! He had no way to properly train his nephew, which resulted in nothing being accomplished.

Recently, some ancient books, such as bamboo scrolls and cloth, have appeared in Xianyang, which are called books. These books are very high in terms of weight and content. Although there are not many, they have attracted the attention of some students.

However, the content inside is boring and has no sense of achievement, and most people disagree with it. However, many people are interested in the manufacturing method of this thing. Now that Li Jinong thinks about it, it should be printed.

"He is truly a god! Such a skill, no one can match it." Li Jinong admired, but he soon felt that there was a flaw in the ointment. The printing skills were good, but the content was miscellaneous, and the chicken was not worthy of the phoenix.

Li Jinong became interested and asked others tentatively: "How much can I earn per day from selling this paper and book?" As a former businessman, he was very concerned about these issues and could not help himself.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately lowered their heads and stayed away silently. This question was too private, and even if he knew it, he would not dare to say it.

Li Jinong was bored and left.

As he walked slowly, he came to a smelly place, where bags and bags of stuff were being produced. The stench was unpleasant and the production volume was not large. He couldn't help but step forward to find out, it turned out to be some filthy stuff.

Li Jinong shook his head, this thing is a failure!

After walking around in circles, he saw some things that surprised him and some that disappointed him, but in general, it was good for Zhao'er to be able to work here.

Unknowingly, Li Jinong arrived at the manor and was immediately greeted by the housekeeper.

"The wing is ready." The butler is also very sensible. Since the master doesn't like him being called "master", he omits it. It just seems not polite enough.

"How annoying!" Li Jinong was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

I don't know when my nephew will come back. He really has to stay some time before making arrangements. Naturally, a place to live is indispensable.

When he arrived at the guest room, he was shocked. This was also a guest room? It was clearly an expensive guest room, extremely luxurious.

He was just his uncle. How could He De live in such a wing?
