Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 175
The quill pen is easy to make, just put it in the sand and heat it to about [-] degrees to cure the quill, then clean it, and then sharpen the pen tip to remove impurities in the quill.

This process is relatively easy, so Song Yuanxuan thinks that using a quill pen is a good choice.

There are quite a few geese in Yuanxuan Village, and Song Yuanxuan made it as soon as he wanted to. After having people pluck out a dozen goose feathers of suitable length, he began to make them.

When it was dinner time, he finished handling the quill pen, sat in his study and started trying to write.

This time the paper he used was that kind of hard paper, after all, rice paper is not suitable for writing hard pens.

The feeling of the nib is quite good, but the only disadvantage is that you can only write seven or eight characters each time you dip the ink, and you need to dip the ink frequently. Fortunately, this shortcoming does not affect the use.

Such a pen can be used for a long time, and compared with a brush, it is more convenient and beautiful.

The snow-white goose feathers are constantly spinning along with the writing. This kind of picture is very eye-catching. I believe those ladies will follow suit.

Calling Yue Huaiyun into the study, Song Yuanxuan said softly: "Yun'er, I will arrange another matter for you now, you don't have to take care of the paper shop anymore, go make pens."

While talking, he explained the essentials of making a quill pen.

Yue Huaiyun looked at the pen in Song Yuanxuan's hand, and said in surprise, "Young master, this goose feather can also be used to make a pen? It's really beautiful!"

Song Yuanxuan smiled slightly, and then wrote half a page of words on the paper. The handwriting was as elegant as a fairy, and it looked quite beautiful.

"Master, I will be in charge of this quill pen from now on, and I will take good care of it."

Yue Huaiyun said happily, and then praised again: "Young master's handwriting is really beautiful, can you give this handwriting to me?"

Song Yuanxuan nodded and said: "The profit of this pen is also very rich, but the most important thing is to raise a flock of geese first. In the future, Li County will be the breeding base, and places with rivers are suitable for raising geese."

Yue Huaiyun thought for a while and said: "Master, Li County is so far away from the capital, if you choose a breeding base, why not in the outskirts of the capital, or in Tengzhou, which is closer to the capital?

In this way, transportation will be very convenient. Although Li County is not far from the capital, it will take a few days, and the transportation time on the road will be long. "

Song Yuanxuan smiled slightly: "This breeding base, in addition to providing our Song family with high-quality meat, also has a great function, that is, to avoid disasters.

If there are some uncontrollable things in the future, it will be difficult for the imperial court to go there in the first time in Li County, and Li County's remote location.

Passing through the main mountain range of Taiming Mountain, a ten-mile-long canyon, such a place is a natural barrier for us, not to mention that it is near the sea.

It is also very easy for us to leave by sea, so I think Li County is good. Compared with the location, safety is more important. What's more, many places there are surrounded by mountains with lush grass, which is a good place for breeding. "

Song Yuanxuan himself is not a pessimistic person, but after experiencing so many things, he also understands that if he wants to survive, he has to think in the long run.

People without thought, he must worry about.

Feng Yungu recommended Lixian to him at the beginning, maybe he also had this consideration, so Song Yuanxuan didn't object.

The Luo family is a lesson from the past. When the power is weak, they actually have no right to choose.

Yue Huaiyun thought for a while, his eyes fell on Song Yuanxuan, and he said in a low voice: "The young master is right."

"Your father knows how to build ships. After I gain a firm foothold in Li County, I will let him take charge of shipbuilding. During this time, he has been studying shipbuilding experience, and he can practice it."

Song Yuanxuan said softly, Yue Huaiyun's face lit up with joy, and he replied: "My father must be very happy to be able to do things for the young master."

"Okay, that's all for today. You can make arrangements for the pen work tomorrow." Song Yuanxuan nodded.

At this time, the sun was setting, and according to the window lattice, there was a faint reddish color.

This is the evening in winter, and it is also somewhat chilly.

Song Yuanxuan walked out of the main house, stood by the edge of the small lake, and his eyes fell on the building in the distance.

There is still unmelted residual snow on the top of the neat buildings, some of which are white, and the chimneys of several families are still smoking outside, and they are cooking dinner.

No wonder Wang Dong, who has always been serious, thinks this house is very well built, it seems like a painting, which is quite rare in this era.

After Qin Shengnan left for the past few days, Song Yuanxuan felt that life seemed to be a bit lighter. Without her, life seemed to lack a seasoning.

A carriage passed by, and when it stopped, Xue Xia got out of the carriage, and when she saw Song Yuanxuan, she was startled, then she hurriedly walked to his side with her skirts in both hands.

"Lang, why are you standing here? Profile, let's go back to the house." Xue Xia said softly, reaching out to hold his hand while talking.

Song Yuanxuan's hands were warm, but Xue Xia's were cold. He smiled and said, "Why did you come back so early? I thought you would stay at Dong's house."

"My sister asked me to stay, but I thought I had to come back to take care of Lang, so I came back without even having dinner." Xue Xia responded with a smile.

Song Yuanxuan hugged her into his arms, and said softly: "What's the situation over there at the Dong family?"

"The Dong family is extremely luxurious, even the edges of the chairs are trimmed with gold, it looks really beautiful." Xue Xia said softly, but there was not much envy in her voice, but a bit of worry .

Song Yuanxuan was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "The Dong family has too much wealth, and for many people, it is a fat sheep."

"Sister said the same thing." Xue Xia said softly, then changed the subject: "In fact, the head of the Dong family is not a wasteful person, but there are too many people in the family, and many things are difficult to manage."

The head of the Dong family is Dong Lei's father. He is indeed wise and often restrains Dong Lei, but Dong Lei's mother is a person who likes to enjoy.

In addition, although Dong Lei's father is not wasteful, he doesn't care too much about these things. This is also a common problem of this era, and it is difficult to be too forward-looking.

"The family of merchants is difficult to last. Naturally, this is due to lack of knowledge."

Song Yuanxuan said lightly, and then changed the topic: "Among the thousand-year-old families, there has never been a pure merchant family, which already explains the problem.

Therefore, the background of the Xue family is far higher than that of the Dong family. You have such insights, but the Dong family does not. This is the difference between a merchant and a noble family.

After we get a foothold in Li County, you can ask your sister to visit Li County... After entering a place like Jiaofangsi, it will be difficult to preserve this reputation. "

Xue Xia hugged Song Yuanxuan's waist tightly, and said softly: "That place is the real cage, and there will be ferocious beasts that eat people at any time.

Once in, it will be difficult to get out, and as Lang said, the reputation will be ruined. Lang didn't care about the reputation of me and sister Nan'er, that's our luck.

If the Song family can really gain a foothold in Li County, I will invite my sister to live there for a while, after all, my sister is also an excellent accountant. "

"Okay, let's go back to the house, it's really cold today." Song Yuanxuan said softly, his eyes full of vitality.

For many things, to plan ahead, he has to leave a way for Dong Lei, who is his brother.

　Two more!Ask for some support, thank you all!
