During the recent period, he could clearly feel that something was not going well with the situation under his control.

The actions of these aristocratic families have become very obvious and very targeted.

Especially since Qin Yu was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, and after returning from Luoyang, the situation of secretly targeting him became more and more obvious.

Chu Gong's background was not good.

Compared with those wealthy families, he is a truly humble boy.

After much thought, he finally decided to go to Xiaofang Village himself.

When Qin Yu came back from Luoyang before, he also paid a special visit to his house once.

That time Chu Gong had a very good impression of Qin Yu, a young man.

It was completely different from the nagging look he imagined.

Chu Gong was very interested in what Qin Yu said and the way he did things.

Later, he also thought carefully about the brief exchange with Qin Yu.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this young man Qin Yu was very extraordinary.

He has also heard of the name of Divine Water.

It's just that Qin Yu didn't send it as a gift, and it was hard for him to mention it before.

To say that he is not interested in divine water is simply impossible.

Now I just happened to take this opportunity to go to Jiyang County to have a look in person.

Let's see what Qin Yu is doing in Jiyang County.

Could it be that those craftsmen are really related to the divine water?

If it really had something to do with divine water, then he would have to give some serious advice.

Qin Yu in Jiyang City really didn't expect that his immediate boss would suddenly come over.

But Chu Gong is also somewhat interesting.

He is slightly fat and has a kind face.

He doesn't look like a scholar, but like a rich man who is very good at making money.

Qin Yu had a good impression of Chu Gong.

After the two met, Chu Gong only briefly asked Qin Yu about the political development of Jiyang County, and then put the matter aside for the time being.

"I heard that Xiaozhi, you are looking for a skilled craftsman recently. I don't know why?"

Naturally, Qin Yu had already thought of Chu Gong's purpose.

Regarding Chu Gong's problem, Qin Yu did not want to hide everything, so he directly expressed his idea of ​​making paper.

As for the burning of glass, Qin Yu did not mention it.

"Making paper?" Chu Gong was obviously very confused, "Xiao Zhi, why did you order people to make paper?"

Qin Yu said: "Of course it's to copy the classics."

"The prefect doesn't know. Although I am the county magistrate now, I have too few available people. It is not necessarily true that all the people under my command are stupid. I think they just lack a capable person.

Opportunity to engage with these classics.”

"If I give them this opportunity now, there may be some useful people available in the future. Although it won't alleviate the urgent need, it can still prepare for a rainy day."

When Chu Gong heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: "Be prepared for a rainy day! This word is very clever!"

He paused and then asked: "But Xiaozhi, you have no usable people, haven't you thought of using those gentry children? There are many talented people among them. If you can get their help,

For you, it is very beneficial."

Qin Yu smiled and said: "Of course they will be used, but doesn't the eunuch think that it is not a good thing to use too many gentry children?"

Chu Gong fell silent.

Qin Yu didn't speak either.

After a while, Chu Gong shook his head and said, "It's difficult."

Qin Yu said: "Of course it is difficult, but difficult things have to be done by someone. Besides, the prefect should also know that I have some small means to at least ensure that the people under my rule have food and clothing."

"Since we have enough food and clothing, and they won't have anything to worry about in the future, why not teach these people about Confucian classics and history, and let them gain their knowledge? Wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Chu Gong shook his head: "Xiaozhi, you still think too simply."

"Not to mention that the Classics and History are very difficult to teach. Even if you can teach them, you still need to read them every day to understand the secrets. Now you want to copy the classics on paper, but you have never thought that the paper is precious, but

It’s not something ordinary people can afford.”

Qin Yu grinned when he heard this: "Then, if I am confident that I can make a kind of paper that is not expensive, is easy to preserve, and is extremely suitable for writing, what does the prefect think?"

Chu Gong stared at Qin Yu carefully, looking at the strong confidence between Qin Yu's brows.

I couldn't help but take a breath slowly.
