At the same time.
At a fermented glutinous rice paste stall at the foot of Xiao Mountain.
Zhang Feng leisurely drank the fermented glutinous rice paste, admiring the small but well-equipped market, pondering about something.
"Yes, son!"
Right at this moment, the sound of Gao Kan urging a mule could be heard from the foot of the mountain. Behind him, carts carrying cypress leaves, as well as freshly picked pine needles, appeared in a row in this market.
"Prince Zhang, the match you asked for is here!"
Gao Kan's muffled voice sounded like a clap of thunder from afar.
The already quiet crowd in the outpost looked at Zhang Feng, and then at the thing behind Gao Kan. Then they all looked up at the mountain, and the pine forest. Strange expressions appeared on their faces.
There were so many things on the mountain. Did they still need to get it from the foot of the mountain?
Hearing this, Zhang Feng slowly put down the bowl in his hand under everyone's strange gazes. He glanced at the carts, put down a copper coin, and waved his hand.
"Follow me!"
Then, Zhang Feng clasped his hands behind his back. Gao Kan, who was behind him, threw the mule cart to the few youths behind him and followed closely behind Zhang Feng. He even pulled out a Qi Mei Staff from his belt and vigilantly looked around.
They didn't go up the mountain. Instead, they went around a river at the foot of the mountain and entered a col in the mountain.
At this time, an open space had already been opened up in the mountain valley. On the open space, there were many washed white reed leaves, bamboo leaves, and other things. There were even carpenters who had already set up a waterwheel and a dozen or so straw sheds. Sounds could be heard coming in and out of the straw sheds.
"This leaf has insect eyes. No, throw it away. The leaves that the dean wants must be flawless! Who are you trying to fool? "
"If the dean sees this, you'll all roll down the mountain!"
Before he even entered this flat area, Zhang Feng could faintly hear shouts. After passing through a bamboo forest, the ringing of a mule bell instantly attracted the attention of everyone in this area.
The people here were all very young. Except for the carpenters, basically all the faces here were young. When these people saw Zhang Feng, they all hurriedly put down their work and saluted Zhang Feng. "Greetings to the dean, Lord Viscount!"
Zhang Feng felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Fine, fine, fine. Just call me dean. I heard you quarreling from afar. What were you quarreling about?"
Hearing this, a group of young men hurriedly came forward and said, "Lord Dean, we were ordered to wash the leaves and dry them here, but this guy is always picky here."
Zhang Feng was interested and asked, "What did he say?"
Seeing that Zhang Feng was interested, that person glared at the young man in the long gown and said, "He said that the leaves have insects, have insects, have been gnawed by insects, and have been contaminated. Besides, isn't this how leaves are dried? He insisted that we go dry them piece by piece … "
The young man complained over and over again. Zhang Feng also took the opportunity to look at the young man in the long gown. The young man was still standing there, neither servile nor overbearing.
Zhang Feng couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
After checking the leaves, there really wasn't a single flaw.
Zhang Feng was interested and asked, "What's your name?"
"Lord Dean, my surname is Qian, and my name is Wanli. I'm from Chang 'an!"
Zhang Feng pointed to the drying leaves and asked, "What's the meaning of this?"
Qian Wanli picked up a leaf and said, "Although I don't know why you asked us to wash and dry the leaves here and build these things here, I know that these things are definitely not matches. They must be of great use. That's why I'm doing this!"
"Otherwise, I think that I should do my best. Even if I'm wrong, I'll know where I went wrong!"
Zhang Feng was a little surprised.
This person was awesome!
But he couldn't remember a person called Qian Wanli in history.
He didn't know if it was because he didn't study the history of the Tang Dynasty thoroughly or he forgot. He asked again, "What does your family do?"
"The Qiantong Money House in Chang 'an is my father's!"
"…"
"Qiantong Money House?"
Zhang Feng was dumbfounded. After thinking about it, there really wasn't such a person in history. He continued to ask, "Then your family background is quite good. Why didn't you go to the Imperial College? Why did you come to White Deer College to suffer?"
Qian Wanli gave a fist and palm salute and said, "If one pursues a comfortable life, how can one improve in life? I'm here to learn about finance from you, Sir Dean! "
Zhang Feng's eyes lit up when he heard that.
"Good! If that's the case, I'll leave this place to you. From now on, I'll go up the mountain every night and personally teach you about economics. "
"Are you willing?"
As he spoke, Zhang Feng looked at the crowd and said, "Do you know why I'm building this thing here?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Zhang Feng said again, "It's because this place is one of the cash crops of my college in the future! This is White Deer College's paper mill! "
"…"
