Chapter 189
"Why?" Han Qianluo asked puzzled.

Yu Wenxuan thought for a while, and said slightly displeased: "Those two shops seem to have something to do with the people above, so the people from the government may stand by the other two shops."

When Han Qianluo heard this, he froze all of a sudden, and asked with some frustration: "Why did this happen, what should we do now, should we just let them do this?" After speaking, she remembered that this thing was not her Invention, and she has made so much money with this thing, she feels better all of a sudden.

"Actually, I have an idea." Yu Wenxuan said.

"What do you think, tell me?" Han Qianluo asked with great interest.

Yu Wenxuan thought for a while, and said: "Now that the court is suppressing the status of merchants, Han Qianluo probably realized that as a pure merchant, it is becoming more and more difficult to do anything. Of course, this is not the main thing. The most important thing is that the imperial court has more and more restrictions on merchants."

Of course Han Qianluo knew about these things, but she didn't know what to do if she knew about it. If she didn't become a businessman, she would have to starve to death with the few acres of land at home.

"I think, since there are still few people who know about it now, and only the people in those two shops know about it, dedicate this recipe to the imperial court, and then run it properly, maybe you can get a vacant position, which will not only make things more convenient , it is also good for future generations." Yu Wenxuan explained carefully.

Han Qianluo didn't speak immediately after listening. She put her hands on her cheeks unconsciously, seriously thinking about the feasibility of this proposal, sacrificing a way to make money in exchange for a false job, an identity, is it worthwhile?She couldn't make up her mind for a moment, so she could only say, "I'll think about it more carefully."

"I'm just talking casually. Actually, this idea is not very good. You don't have to take it too seriously." Yu Wenxuan said again.

Han Qianluo stood up and said, "I'll go to work first, and I'll think about it again." After finishing speaking, she went back to the yard next door, and cleaned the lint from the cotton seeds with the children, but she I decided to discuss it with my elder brother after he came back.

Han Qingquan didn't come back until the evening, but at this time Han Qianluo was busy preparing dinner again, so the discussion was delayed again, and she didn't find a space to talk about it until dinner.

"Brother, I want to discuss something with you?" Han Qianluo said.

"Let's talk about it later after dinner." Han Qingquan said without raising his head.

Han Qianluo was taken aback for a moment, she didn't understand why her elder brother didn't let her speak now, but she also knew that there must be a reason for her elder brother to say this, so she didn't say anything more.

After dinner, everyone washed up and went back to their respective rooms to sleep. After all, it is the twelfth lunar month, and the night is colder than the day, so it is more comfortable to lie in bed, so naturally no one wants to stay outside.

Han Qingquan also returned to his own room. Because he had something to discuss, Han Qianluo followed him in. He went straight to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Brother, I have something to discuss with you."

"What did you say?" Han Qingquan moved a stool and sat opposite her and said.

At this time, the door was suddenly opened, and Han Sanwei's head came in through the crack of the door, and asked curiously, "Sister San, what do you want to discuss?"

"It's such a cold day, go to bed quickly." Han Qianluo hurried him back to sleep.

But Han Qingquan said: "Xiaoluo, he is not young anymore, he should also know about the family affairs, otherwise he will not understand anything in the future." Han Sanwei opened the door and ran in as soon as he heard this. He looked at the two of them like a curious baby.

Han Qianluo had no choice but to close the door, sit back on the edge of the bed and said, "Brother, recently, there have been a few shops in the city that have also learned how to make paper, and they sell it cheaper than us. Do you know about this?"

"I've heard about it." Han Qingquan nodded and said, "But it's not an important matter, is it? So many people need paper, and our family can't make so much paper."

"Yu Wenxuan said that the imperial court now has more and more restrictions on businessmen, and their status is getting lower and lower. He suggested that the Fangzi be dedicated to the imperial court, and then operate it, so that they can find a false job, so that their status will be different in the future. Brother, you How do you feel?" Han Qianluo said in one breath.

Han Qingquan bowed his head in deep thought, and did not speak, but Han Sanwei suddenly said, "Will I be able to be an official after that?"

"I wanted to be an official since I was young." Han Qianluo laughed.

Han Sanwei seemed a little dissatisfied with Sanjie's statement, and retorted: "It's great to be an official. From now on, everyone will listen to me and be afraid of me, so no one will dare to bully me."

"Even if you become an official, you will be bullied, and not everyone will listen to you." Han Qianluo ruthlessly broke his fantasy, hoping that he would not have such unrealistic expectations. idea.

Han Sanwei probably didn't believe it, and wanted to refute: "But..." Before he could finish speaking, Han Qianluo snatched him away: "Look at the city, there are so many high-ranking officials, if you think about it carefully, is he Is it what you imagined?"

Han Sanwei was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't seem like that." After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, as if he was a little hit.

"Xiao Luo, I think this is pretty good. If I am gone in the future, the money will be easily robbed by someone, but this identity will not." Han Qingquan said.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Han Qianluo said loudly as soon as he heard this.

"There's nothing you can't say, it's all the truth." Han Qingquan said with a smile indifferently, and coughed violently after speaking, he quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, but the handkerchief soon turned bright red .

Han Sanwei was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you, are you sick?" Han Qingquan just gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then said indifferently: "It's okay." That calm look, as if he wasn't the one who coughed up blood just now.

Although Han Qianluo was also worried, she had no choice but to show it, because there was a smaller one here. If she acted panicked, Sanwei would be even more frightened, so she tried to be calmer. Just like usual.

"Okay, Sanwei, go to bed, it's getting late." Han Qingquan drove Han Sanwei to sleep.

Although Han Sanwei was a little reluctant, he didn't say much, turned around and left.After seeing the fourth brother leave, Han Qianluo immediately removed the calm expression on his face, and hurriedly asked: "Brother, has your illness worsened again, it seems that you haven't coughed up so much blood a few days ago. "

Han Qingquan obviously didn't want to talk about this matter, he just said vaguely: "Probably, I don't think Fang Zi's matter is necessary, we just need to manage our own shop well, as for other people who want to get a share Just let them go."

"Okay then, I'll listen to elder brother." Han Qianluo nodded and said.

Han Qianluo thought that this matter was over. The next morning, she stayed at home and cleaned cotton seeds with a group of children. As for Yu Wenxuan, she went to the city.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

There was a regular knock on the door outside, Han Qianluo quickly put down the cottonseed in her hand, stood up and went out to open the door, but to her surprise, it was Xie Yueyong who came.

"Mr. Xie, why are you here? Please come in." Han Qianluo said enthusiastically.

Xie Yueyong is wearing a purple robe today, with a circle of white fluff around his neck, a green hairpin on his head, and a hair crown, he looks like a nobleman.He walked in calmly, without being polite at all, he just found a stool and sat down.

"I didn't expect you to have a lot of people in your family." Xie Yueyong looked at the group of children and said in surprise.

Han Qianluo saw that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "They are not from my family, they are children from other families. Come here to help for a while and earn some pocket money."

"So that's the case." Xie Yueyong nodded and said, "I thought you had so many younger brothers and sisters, and I was shocked."

Han Qianluo also smiled and said: "How is this possible? By the way, Mr. Xie, why are you free to come here today? Don't you have anything to do today?"

"It's true that I have nothing to do, so I came here after walking, so I came to stay with you for a while." Xie Yueyong replied.

Not to mention Han Qianluo, even Han Sanwei didn't believe it, he suddenly interjected, "It's almost Chinese New Year now, everyone is so busy, how could they not be busy?"

"Work obediently and don't talk nonsense." Han Qianluo said with a stern look at him.

"It's not a problem." Xie Yueyong said with a smile, and then replied to himself: "Actually, there is really nothing to do, so I have time to come to you. By the way, I heard that there is a price adjustment in the city. Much lower paper, don't know what's going on."

Talking about this matter, Han Qianluo couldn't help but sighed and said: "The paper with lower price has nothing to do with me. My method of making paper was learned by others, and now I am also very distressed. "

After hearing this, Xie Yueyong couldn't help but ask, "How could someone steal it?"

"You also know that our family couldn't do it because a lot of people came to order papers in large quantities, so I recruited a group of short-term workers to work. I think I probably learned it secretly from these people." Han Qianluo said a little depressed.

"So that's the case." Xie Yueyong said thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, he said again, "Then what are you going to do, is it still like this?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do? I heard that there are people behind those shops. I, an ordinary person, have nothing to do." Han Qianluo said.
