The old village chief's surname was Sun.
He was called Sun Dequan.
In his early years, he had been eating in Chang 'an City. He had inadvertently gone to Kong Yingda's mansion to do some work.
Because of his straightforward nature and the fact that he had accidentally bumped into Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda took pity on him and asked him to bring his letter to the Chang 'an Local Government. That was how he got his current position as the Governor of Tonghui Lane.
He was equivalent to the village chief of a small village.
Although he didn't care much.
He ran errands for the government and coordinated some trivial matters in the entire market.
After all, he couldn't go to the county government for trivial matters, right?
Wouldn't that tire the county magistrate to death?
The monthly salary wasn't much, only thirty copper coins. However, this was considered a profitable business in Chang 'an City.
The key was that he didn't care about anything.
He didn't have to pay taxes.
The old village chief had always been grateful to Kong Yingda. Although the old village chief would send his son to Kong Yingda's mansion every year during festivals, but …
He wasn't liked even if he went.
This was something that the old village chief had always been brooding about.
But today, the old village chief didn't notice him at first. He just mistakenly thought that this old man was the father of a student who wanted to go up the mountain to see his son.
He saw this kind of thing every day.
At this time, the matters of Tonghui Lane were inherited by his son.
But this Xiao Mountain Market was basically his alone. He could be considered the manager of the entire White Deer College.
He had to take care of everything. After all, in his opinion, this was the business of Feng Zi. If he didn't have someone to take care of it for him, with Zhang Feng's personality, it would have been over long ago.
How could the old village chief not be surprised to see his old benefactor again?
He hurriedly sized Kong Yingda up and said, "Kong Yingda, what … do you mean?"
What could Kong Yingda say?
He stuttered for a long time but couldn't say anything. Seeing this, the old village chief turned around and said, "Kid Qian, quickly take these pieces of paper and hand them to Feng Zi personally! I met a benefactor here. I'll go up the mountain later! "
Qian Wanli didn't notice Kong Yingda either. He only thought that Kong Yingda was just an old farmer who wanted to make a living here. He saluted Kong Yingda and hurried up the mountain.
After all, he was carrying a hundred kilograms of paper on his back.
It was pressed down.
After sending the few people away, the old village chief said warmly, "Kong Gong, it's rare for you to come here. Earlier, this old man had always wanted to pay a visit to thank benefactor for your kindness in the past. However, due to my lowly status, I couldn't get through the door …"
Kong Yingda seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope.
He smiled ruefully and said, "You're too kind. It's just that the servants in the house are like dogs who bully others because of their master's power. When the Old Man returns, he will definitely discipline them well!"
Hearing this, the old village chief waved his hand.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. There's no need to trouble Duke Kong with such a small matter. After all, this country has its laws and every family has its rules. Since Duke Kong has come here today, and this old man happens to be present, could this old man be so bold as to invite Duke Kong to this old man's residence for a chat so that this old man can perform his duties as a host and repay the kindness of those years?"
Kong Yingda rolled his eyes and said, "Old Man Sun, may I ask if you are on this mountain …"
"Oh! Thanks to this dean, this old man has managed to get good jobs in the entire Tonghui District. This old man is also honored that the entire papermaking workshop is under my watch. Furthermore, some of the daily affairs in the district are also under my care. This … "
At this moment, even the experienced and knowledgeable Kong Yingda was dumbfounded.
He stood rooted to the ground and looked at the white paper that was being dried like snow. He said in shock, "You are saying that this papermaking workshop is under your management?"
The mystery of the papermaking workshop was well known in the entire Chang 'an.
Everyone wanted to find out more about the papermaking workshop.
After all, the papermaking workshop had replaced the papermaking industry of the past. One could imagine that a few hundred kilograms of white paper a day was equivalent to a month's production in the past!
How terrifying was that?
Kong Yingda originally thought that the papermaking workshop would be heavily guarded, and that there would be a heavyweight guarding it. However, he did not expect that there would not be a single guard here!
Furthermore, it was an old man with a slave status who was in charge?
What kind of operation was this?
Could it be that in the eyes of Zhang Feng, this thing was so worthless?
At this moment, Kong Yingda was in a bad mood.
He stared blankly at the papermaking workshop. Then, under the ostentatious introduction of the old village chief, he walked into an elegant brick house. …
What shocked him even more was …
This brick house was no different from the houses in the district.
What was this?
How many people could use a brick to build a house?
However, even though it wasn't a green brick but a red brick, it was still a f * cking head!
For this thing, other than those aristocratic families, other people would not be able to use brick to build houses. Even if they were to install brick on their door, they would still need to go to the government office to register it!
Even the palace was not entirely made with brick, but here …
Kong Yingda was a little dizzy.
He could not help but interrupt the old village chief and ask, "Old Man Sun, are all the houses here built with this red brick?"
The old village chief stroked his beard proudly and said with a sigh, "Yes! Everything here was made by Fengzi. My place is still considered simple and crude. You didn't go up the mountain. That mountain is the real magnificent one! "
"By the way, Duke Kong, why are you here today?"
