Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket! - Chapter 178

178 Compatible Looks and Talent

The second batch of spray machine and Yang Gongbing’s reply arrived at the same time.

This time, there were fewer quantity delivered. There were only 80 of them.

There were more people who had registered and paid the deposit. This quantity was far from enough.

The spray machine stall was packed with people. The people who had registered made a fuss that they had paid the deposit and demanded to receive the goods immediately.

!!
The bailiffs could only give them the spray machine in the order of the payment of deposit.

Those who got the spray machine were as happy as if they had won the lottery.

Those from influential families were the most eager to compare with one another. If other families had a spray machine, how could they not?

Hence, there were servants from several big families who stopped the old farmer who had just bought a spray machine. They spent a huge sum to buy a brand new second-hand spray machine.

This made some people see a business opportunity.

With the functions of spray machine, if they made it and sold it elsewhere, they would definitely be able to earn a lot of money.

However, they were afraid of the government after all. They only dared to think about it and did not dare to steal business from the government.

Since they could not build the spray machine themselves, they thought of another way to profit.

More and more people would definitely want to buy the spray machine. Now, as long as they paid the deposit first, they could get the goods first.

They could send people to queue up to register and buy the spray machine sold by the government at a low price before selling it at a high price.

There was more than one person who thought of such a way to earn money.

Hence, the store that was selling spray machines had a queue as long as a few hundred meters.

Ordinary farmers who really wanted to buy a spray machine did not even have a chance to register.

Qu Yuanxian received a reply and heard the detailed report from the bailiffs about the spray machine store. After thinking for a long time, he made up his mind that night. He gathered the outstanding carpenters in Pingyang County and built two spray machine workshops in Pingyang County.

He had wanted to observe for a few more days, but it seemed that he did not need to.

There were many more carpenters in Pingyang County than in Woqian Town. Just the carpenters in the entire county were enough to build a workshop first.

There was no need to build a new workshop place. Qu Yuanxian directly arranged for everyone to work in a nearby farm with raw materials and paid for the rent.

With the people gathered, the most important thing left was the skills.

After all, the spray machine was a delicate workmanship. Without a few years of experience as a carpenter, even if Zhao Sheng personally taught, one would not be able to build it.

Even a master carpenter had to imitate first and fiddle with it for a period of time at the beginning.

Even not for a master carpenter, just an ordinary carpenter, if he wanted to make a solid and exquisite spray machine, he had to undergo a period of training before he could be ready.

Yang Gongbing really wanted to send Zhao Sheng, but Zhao Sheng had been busy making the mold for the word printing machine recently. He had already gone crazy from carving. Moreover, Yang Quanzi would not allow him to go when he was in such a hurry to complete the job.

Yang Gongbing knew that Zhao Sheng was busy at the Cui residence, but he did not know that he was busy carving words.

The reason why Yang Quanzi had not told him was because he wanted to wait for the complete printing book to be ready and quietly stun everyone.

Since Zhao Sheng could not go, he could only choose someone else.

After choosing the candidates, they set off for Pingyang County early the next morning.

This was not the first time they had gone to Pingyang County. This time, they rode on the official’s carriage. They felt that their lives were worth it.

The spray machine workshop in Pingyang County was in full swing, but Yang Gongbing was also thinking about his next step.

When the workshop in Pingyang County could function normally, the demand for the spray machine in their workshop would greatly decrease, or it would no longer be needed.

If the spray machine was only supplied to the Woqian Town, there would be very little work for the workshop craftsmen. In the long run, the profits into the accounts would also be greatly reduced.

These days, with the spray machine, the financial income of Woqian Town had increased greatly.

Yang Gongbing divided the income earned from the spray machine into two parts. One part was used for the people’s livelihood, building bridges, roads, and providing assistance to alleviate poverty. The other part was used to continue the development of the official industry.

Previously, Bai Wutong had said that they did not have to care about Consort Chu and could use the cleaning paper boldly.

The spray machine market was saturated in Woqian Town, so Yang Gongbing went to ask Bai Wutong if they could open a cleaning paper production workshop.

Consort Chu was using the white paper formula for her own benefit.

Yang Gongbing took the cleaning paper formula because he wanted to benefit the people, and he had even bought it from Bai Wutong with his money. Why wouldn’t she agree? Of course she agreed.

Yang Gongbing gave her a total of 10,000 taels of silver to buy the cleaning paper formula. He even felt very apologetic that he had given her too little money.

After Consort Chu obtained the white paper formula and sold the white paper, the money flowed in like water. The cleaning paper was more valuable than the white paper, so Yang Gongbing naturally felt that he had made Bai Wutong lose out.

10,000 taels was really not a small sum. Moreover, in the future, if someone took a fancy to the huge benefits of cleaning paper, the person they would be looking for would be Yang Gongbing. She felt that 10,000 taels was very worth it to buy peace of mind.

After obtaining the approval from Bai Wutong, Yang Gongbing immediately asked Qu Yuanxian to establish a cleaning paper production workshop.

If they started building the cleaning paper production workshop now, the paper-making machines needed by the cleaning paper production workshop would allow the carpenters in the spraying workshop to start working.

In addition, the cleaning paper production workshop also needed a large amount of labor and could provide many job openings. The citizens who joined could earn another income. If they sold the cleaning paper, their income would also reach the peak in the history of Woqian Town.

With this huge income, Woqian Town would definitely experience a huge change.

When Qu Yuanxian received Yang Gongbing’s letter, he started to exclaim again at Yang Gongbing’s outstanding efficiency and responsible attitude. If everyone in Ling Country was as pragmatic as Yang Gongbing, the people would not have to worry about not having a good life.

After reading the letter, Qu Yuanxian immediately wrote a reply and approved the construction of the official’s cleaning paper production workshop.

The spray machine workshop had already opened as an official’s workshop. What was there to fear from another cleaning paper production workshop that was far more valuable than the spray machine workshop?

Besides, the cleaning paper made by Bai Wutong was so good that he wanted to continue using it. Why shouldn’t they build it!

They would build it immediately!

Moreover, they had to build it spectacularly and let the entire Ling Kingdom know that the cleaning paper was produced by their Pingyang County’s Woqian Town. No one could snatch away the ownership!

Not even Consort Chu!

With a large amount of manpower and resources invested, the spray machine workshop in Pingyang County operating on the right track, and the construction of Yang Gongbing’s cleaning paper production workshop also progressing smoothly, it could officially start work next month.

Qu Yuanxian planned to take a look.

Ever since the Cui family resettled on the Jade Spiritual Mountain, Qu Yuanxian had wanted to visit them, but he had yet to do so.

Other than visiting the cleaning paper workshop, Yang Quanzi’s 60th birthday was the next month. No matter how busy Qu Yuanxian was, he wanted to go to Woqian Town.

In addition, Qu Yuanxian had an important matter to discuss with Cui Shize.

It had been four years since his youngest son, Qu Lianghua, became a widower. He only had a four-year-old daughter. Cui Lingyi had been a widow for more than four years. The two of them were very compatible in terms of looks and talent. Qu Yuanxian wanted Qu Lianghua to marry Cui Lingyi.

In the dead of night, when he discussed it with Madam Qu, he encountered intense objections.
