Traveling through the barren years, I have a system and am not afraid of anything
Chapter 147 Growing Appetite
Liu Dagui was trembling with excitement, papermaking! That is the treasure that lays golden eggs.
"Brother Wang, what exactly is papermaking? Isn't it amazing? What can make paper?"
Liu Dagui poured Tian Wang another bowl of wine, his heart pounding.
"Hey, I really don't know!"
Tian Wang burped.
"I don't know? Aren't you from the Tian family? Why didn't they tell you? Do they not trust you?"
Liu Dagui was a little anxious.
"You are right. They just don't trust me. Stop talking about me. No one in Tianjia Village knows the art of papermaking except our grandfather and a few old men!"
Tian Wang paused and shook his head again.
"Even the old men don't know everything, everyone knows part of it!"
Afraid of harming several of his family's ancestors, Tian Wang quickly changed his explanation.
"Is that so?"
Liu Dagui's hand holding the wine bowl tightened. If it was really what Tian Wang said, how could he master the papermaking technique?
"Hmph, no matter how hard they hide it, I can still find a way. Our old village chief is greedy for money. Others can't bribe him, but I can!"
Tian Wang's chest slapped loudly.
"how?"
Hearing that Tian Wang had a solution, Liu Dagui's eyes lit up again.
"You know that the old village chief has loved me since I was a child. Do you know why he loves me so much?"
Tian Wang opened his mouth in confusion.
"My father died to save the old village chief. For saving his life, the old village chief believed in me even if he doesn't believe anyone!"
Tian Wang's father fell to death while hunting in the mountains. He had nothing to do with the old villager Chang Mao, but Tian Wang didn't care.
"I trust you and I won't tell you about papermaking?"
Liu Dagui was afraid that Tian Wang would fall asleep, so he quickly stuffed a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth.
"He is greedy for money and refuses to accept money from others. It's a pity that I don't have money to honor his old man!"
Tian Wang dug into his pocket and dug out a copper plate.
"This thing is only rare to my sister-in-law, and the old village chief doesn't like it!"
It's just as regrettable as you want.
"I have it, I have it here, brother, take it first!"
Liu Dagui gritted his teeth and took out five taels of silver ingots and slapped them on the table.
"I can't ask for brother Dagui's money, there's nothing I can do in return!"
Seeing the silver, Tian Wang's eyes turned red. He grabbed the silver ingot into his hand and said he didn't want it, and he wouldn't let it go.
"There's no need to report it. Brother Wang has the art of making paper. Just don't forget about your brother when you get rich!"
Liu Dagui kept making calculations in his heart, and Tian Wang was not short of calculations either.
The mice were scurrying from Tian Wang's window sill to the kang, and both of them noticed it.
"I will definitely never forget you, brother. If I get the papermaking technology, as long as the price is right, I will sell it to my brother! Then we will make a fortune together!"
After Tian Wang finished speaking, he lay down on the table and couldn't wake up no matter how much Liu Dagui pulled at him.
"Isn't this delaying things? You should just give me a price!"
Liu Dagui left in a hurry. Tian Wang guessed that Liu Dagui had gone far, so he got up and ran to the cowshed with the silver in hand.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law?"
"Uncle Wang, what are you calling for? My aunt has returned to the old house long ago!"
The young boys were ordered to guard and clean the cowshed, and they were getting irritated at the moment.
The cows were dishonest and made them all restless.
"Go back to your old house? Don't you want to play with mice anymore?"
Tian Wang looked up at the moon above his head. It was too late, so he turned around and left the bullpen.
"Nephew Wang, is he gone?"
The little mouse didn't dare to enter the yard of the old house, and Xiaobai wouldn't let her, so she had to come out every once in a while, just to collect news from Tian Wang.
"He's gone, he cheated me out of a piece of silver, my aunt will keep it!"
Although the money was obtained through fraud, Tian Wang was extremely excited. Defrauding bad people of money is not considered cheating.
"We have agreed that all the money we cheated will belong to you. Take your wife and children back quickly!"
Tian Wang smelled of alcohol, which made Tian Tian confused.
"Really mine?"
Tian Wang's family's total savings amounted to less than five taels of silver.
"More real than silver!"
After sending Tian Wang away, Tian Tian also returned to the house, carefully thinking about how to deal with the Xu family.
Liu Dagui left Liujiacun before dawn the next day, almost knocking off his horse along the way.
"Brother, brother!"
Liu Dagui's heart felt as if grass had grown.
He didn't want to talk about papermaking, but he felt that he couldn't handle it himself, so he decided to discuss it with his boss.
"You're back so soon? Did you find out clearly?"
Liu Dagui's eldest brother has a scar face and is not a good person at first glance.
They are people who run escort agencies on the surface, but in fact they are robbing homes, deceiving and abducting people, which is worse than bandits.
"Let's find out clearly, let's go in and talk!"
Liu Dagui glanced around, pulled the scarred man and walked into the house.
"They are all brothers of our own family. Isn't this a bit too much for you?"
Four or five men in the yard stared at Liu Dagui with angry faces.
Usually the work of inquiring about information was done by their brothers, and Liu Dagui could only do some chores. Unexpectedly, Liu Dagui took the advantage this time.
"It's really a critical matter, and my brother has no choice but to do it!"
Liu Dagui couldn't help but curse in his heart. When he gets rich, he will definitely kill these guys.
"Come in and talk!"
The scarred man glanced at a few people, and the courtyard immediately became silent.
"Did you find out?"
The scarred man in the room looked a little serious.
"I found out, it's papermaking!"
Liu Dagui stood respectfully in front of the scarred man.
"That's right. Have you found out about Papermaking?"
The scarred man's words startled Liu Dagui.
Liu Dagui didn't expect that the scarred man had known about papermaking for a long time, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Scar Man sent him back to the village without asking him to inquire about anything. Was it because he didn't trust him or was he testing him?
"Brother, papermaking is a forbidden skill of the Tian family, so it's not easy to find out!"
If it were so easy to find out, everyone would already know about papermaking.
"Trash! You can't even deal with a bunch of mud-legged people!"
The scarred man slammed the cup so hard that the tea spilled on the table.
"Brother, don't blame me for this. People say it can't be done without money!"
Liu Dagui's eyes flashed, and the hatred flashed in his eyes.
"You want silver? How much?"
The scarred man knew the value of papermaking, and the price offered by the Xu family was not low, but he was unwilling to spend the money.
"There is not a single family of 1,800 or two who refuses to reveal it!"
"One thousand eight hundred taels?"
It was nearly ten times lower than the price offered by the Xu family.
The scarred man was originally raised by the Xu family, and everything he did was the work of the Xu family.
But people’s appetites will always be enlarged.
That's what Scar Man is like.
He used to be quite obedient under the Xu family, but now that he has become more powerful, the Xu family has to rely on money to frustrate him.
"Can you think of a way to catch this person?"
The scarred man didn't believe there was a hole he couldn't pry open.
