At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

Watching Xu Qing leave, Ren Hao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Finally got this kid gone.

Anyone would feel uneasy when there is someone like this eyeing what you have in your hands every day.

As the saying goes, it's not the thief who steals that you're afraid of, but the thief who's thinking about stealing that you're afraid of. This is one of the reasons why Ren Hao agreed to give Xu Qing a thousand compound crossbows.

However, it was a satisfactory solution to what happened between me and Xu Yating that day, which made me feel a lot better.

Otherwise, if a woman was forced to commit suicide or lived in constant fear as a result of this, Ren Hao would feel guilty.

"I didn't expect that Hu Sanyan is actually Xu Yating's uncle!" Ren Hao wiped his chin. Naturally, it was Xu Qing who told him this news.

Considering my previous guess, it is almost certain that Hu Sanyan has no good intentions towards me.

"His eyes turned red when he saw the money." Ren Hao couldn't help but shake his head. Greed is the original sin. It is understandable that Hu Sanyan wants his own papermaking technique.

But it seems that Xu Yating seems more anxious.

Otherwise, why would she come to Caixu Village to try to get close to me?

Ren Hao also asked Su Wan'er. Xu Yating came here to get close to her. Her purpose was self-evident. She wanted to establish a good relationship with Su Wan'er and then find a way to get the papermaking technique from her.

"You wish!" Ren Hao curled his lips. Papermaking was his livelihood, and he would never give it to others easily even if he was beaten to death.

Next, with the paper mill built, he can start to devote himself to building his own business empire.

time flies.

half a month later.

A large factory has been built on the site next to Ren Hao's house.

Although it is built with bamboo, the lightness of bamboo greatly reduces the construction difficulty and weight of the factory, and there is almost no risk of collapse.

The tiles above are also covered with stone tiles and supported by solid beams, so there won’t be any problems.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of this factory built with bamboo is ventilation.

The embryos produced in this way can be placed here for drying.

At this moment in the factory, Yang Si and others were placing several large pots in designated locations.

On the other side, several people were building a large pond for making paper, and there were more than ten women weaving bamboo curtains for making paper.

This time, Ren Hao planned to make larger paper, which would be easier to produce.

Now is the stage of perfecting the facilities, which will be completed in just a few days.

The next step was to hire villagers to work here. Since it was not very complicated, it was not difficult to learn. Ren Hao was confident that he could have the paper mill up and running and produce qualified paper within a week.

Seeing that everyone was busy and organized here, Ren Hao prepared to go home.

As soon as I got out of the door, I saw Yang Si jogging towards me.

"Boss." Yang Si came to Ren Hao with hesitation on his face.

"What's wrong?" Ren Hao asked.

Yang Si couldn't help rubbing his hands: "Boss, now the house is built, is there anything else I can do? As long as you ask, I can do any work."

When Ren Hao asked him to do the job before, he only promised to pay him a certain amount of money after finishing the job, but did not say anything about the future.

But now that he saw that most of the people in the village could get long-term jobs here with Ren Hao, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Although Ren Hao gave him a lot of money, getting a good salary every month and getting a lot of money at one time are two different concepts.

It's like having land and not having land. Without land, you will feel anxious even if you make money. But if you have two acres of land at home, then even if you don't have a penny, you will feel much more at ease.

"Well..." Ren Hao frowned slightly, and after a moment's silence, he said, "There is work to do, but the pay is not much, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

"Okay, okay, as long as it's a job, I'm also a carpenter and I have fields at home. As long as I don't starve to death, it's fine." Yang Si said with gratitude.

Ren Hao patted him on the shoulder, then walked back to his house next door with his hands behind his back.

As soon as I walked in, I saw several women sitting at the table, talking and laughing.

Su Wan'er, Su Ling'er, Qian'er, and Xu Yating!

Ren Hao couldn't help but frown. He didn't know if Xu Yating had given up during this period of time. She came to his house almost every day, coming in the morning and going back to Ren Tiesan's house at night.

I even had lunch at my own home at noon.

Ren Hao naturally didn't lack these meals, but he felt that it was not nice for an outsider like her to always come to his place!

"Miss Xu, when are you planning to go home? When I went to the county a few days ago, your uncle was very worried." Ren Hao said.

When he went to the county town a few days ago, he talked about this matter with Hu Sanyan. Hu Sanyan said that he couldn't do anything about it and let Ren Hao handle it on his own.

Hearing Ren Hao's words, Xu Yating said calmly: "I don't want to leave for the time being."

"Husband, Yating has her own difficulties." Su Wan'er said.

Ren Hao spread his hands: "I have my own difficulties. Xu Qing put you here. If anything happens to you, he will bring a large army to destroy me."

Xu Yating's pretty face turned slightly cold, she turned her head away and stopped talking.

Ren Hao was helpless. Even after he teased her like that, Xu Yating remained unmoved. She was so stubborn.

At night, after a big battle, Ren Hao turned around and asked, "What's the woman's problem?"

"Are you talking about Sister Yating, my husband?" Su Wan'er asked, leaning in his arms.

"Yeah, it's not a good thing for her, an outsider, to come to our house every day," said Ren Hao.

Su Wan'er chuckled, "My husband, you don't know, but I have found out in the past few days. According to her, the prime minister's son has taken a fancy to her and wants to arrange a marriage for her. She would rather die than obey, so she had no choice but to run here to hide."

Ren Hao was stunned for a moment, then he understood a little. The reason why Xu Yating was interested in his papermaking skills was probably because she wanted to use it as a bargaining chip to protect herself, right?

Ren Hao himself certainly understood how useful this low-cost papermaking technique was.

When bamboo slips were still the main recording tool in ancient China, cheap paper would bring about revolutionary changes in ancient China.

For example, official documents, court notices, and local government affairs, etc.

The bamboo slips that originally required a cart or dozens of carts to load can now be loaded onto a stack of paper, and they are also light and easy to read.

Moreover, low-cost paper can promote culture and economy.

A small piece of paper was enough to change the entire pattern of ancient China and even destabilize the political environment.

Ren Hao couldn't help but admire Xu Yating's vision.

Compared to Hu Sanyan, who only wanted to make money from paper, Xu Yating was obviously more knowledgeable.

"Don't mention anything about paper to her." Ren Hao warned.
