Chapter 143: Money in the Yang Realm Travels Throughout the

igated thoroughly. Young Master Zhou is very interested in your tofu. From today onwards, Young Master Zhou will purchase all of the tofu you make. From now on, you are not allowed to sell any of it t...Yang Lin knows the value of technology too well.

Currently, the design institute led by Du Jing is his treasure trove of talent. Even if there are technical leaks in the workshop, Yang Lin is not worried, because as long as the design institute exists, the technology in the workshop can be updated and iterated quickly!

The four disciples were astonished once again. They had never expected that such a sophisticated mechanical device could have been created by Yang Lin, who was only in his twenties!

Ma Ruoyun admired him deeply, clasped his hands together, and said excitedly: "Young brother Yang is truly a genius!"

"Oh, it's nothing, just some small trinkets."

Yang Lin hurriedly politely.

Master and disciple, four in number, were astonished yet reluctant to tear their eyes away from this perfectly functioning water mill.

This primitive mechanical beauty holds an intangible allure for many. The slowly rotating gears resemble the operation of the celestial bodies, evoking diverse feelings and contemplations in those who observe them...

After a while, the four of them finally came to their senses.

They came to see the papermaking process, but as soon as they walked in, they were mesmerized by the pulp-grinding water. For a moment, everyone felt a little awkward.

"Cough cough, let's go see the papermaking process instead." Yu Zhong was the first to recover.

Yang Lin led them one by one to the steaming workshop, the mixing workshop, the slag removal workshop, the drying workshop...

The more they looked, the more surprised they became.

Although they don't fully understand the manufacturing process, they can see that it is well-organized and efficient with clear divisions of labor!

Moreover, many places have also leveraged a number of inherent advantages.

For example, the drying room originally required burning fire to dry paper. However, this room is connected to a nearby brick kiln, utilizing the kiln's heat energy for drying!

Finally, when they saw the finished paper product, the four of them were surprised again.

Kong Qiu touched the several types of paper that felt distinctly different, and asked in confusion, "Did you intentionally create four different kinds of paper"

He could see that the four types of paper were different, but he wasn't sure if the difference was due to errors in the papermaking process or intentional design. Therefore, he asked for clarification.

"Of course," Yang Lin explained, "Sir, this here is the most ordinary kind of paper, the same one you saw at Yang's Trading Company. And these three over here are our latest inventions, differentiated as raw paper, cooked paper, and semi-cooked paper."

Then Yang Lin briefly introduced the characteristics of these three types of paper. Kong was increasingly amazed by what he heard.

He dedicated his whole life to studying, yet he never expected that a simple piece of paper could make such a huge difference!

"Great! That's fantastic!"

Kong Qi lightly caressed the paper in her hand, praising, "Benefit the country and the people, benefit the country and the people!"

Chu Jie, Yu Zhong, and Ma Ruyun, the three of them, all felt deeply moved.

Especially Ma Ruyun, who is blooming with joy right now because the facts once again prove that his judgment was spot on! He's a master at reading people!

Just then, Zhao Guang, the manager of the paper mill, nervously ran over and frantically winked at Yang Lin.

"Just say what's on your mind, there are no strangers here." Yang Lin said.

Zhao Guang is only responsible for the paper mill, and there's nothing secret about it here. He naturally isn't afraid of outsiders knowing.

Zhao Guang finally spoke, "Master, yesterday a batch of paper had problems. The fire during the steaming process wasn't controlled well, so the paper became very rough and yellowed. What should we do with this paper"

Yang Lin frowned and said directly, "Burn them all! We can't allow substandard paper to enter the market!"

"It's such a pity to waste it," Zhao Guang said, reluctantly. "Although this batch of paper has some issues, the quality isn't much worse than before, it's just slightly yellowish, still usable. What if we sell it at a lower price"

Yang Lin was about to refuse, but suddenly a brilliant idea struck him! As he continued to invest, more and more paper was produced. Gradually, there would definitely be overcapacity. Although this development wouldn't have an immediate impact in the short term, what if there were too many papers in the future that couldn't be sold

Seeing Kong Qiu and the others beside me, this is my chance!

Yang Lin chuckled and said, "Uncle Guang, have you ever heard of the underworld"

"Ah" Zhao Guang nodded dazedly. "I know that, after people die, they all go to the underworld. What do you want to know about this, master"

Yang Lin continued to grin and asked, "Do you know what ghosts in the underworld grow"

Zhao Guang was even more stunned.

Who knows

Those who have gone there, no one has returned. Who knows what kind of ghosts bloom in the underworld

Zhao Guang said doubtfully, “They wouldn’t also be spending copper and silver coins, would they”

“Of course not! Once I had a dream where an immortal told me a secret Taoist method! Day is yang, and night is yin. Only on the night of a full moon, at the darkest hour, go to a crossroads, call out the name of the deceased, burn paper for the soul, and the spirit will receive the money from the living world. Then even ghosts in the underworld will have money to spend.”

This world doesn't have the custom of burning paper yet, so I'll just help this world fill that gap!

"Give all those low-quality papers to our villagers, and pass down this secret technique to them. Tell them this: 'In the Yang world, money can travel across seas, in the Yin world, paper is used for business!' Burn paper for your ancestors, and your ancestors will..."貴 and meet them. Before leaving, Yang Lin called Xiao Jiu over and whispered a few words in his ear. Seeing Xiao Jiu nod seriously, he felt reassured.Following Zhao Fu Gui to his home, Yang Lin met th...
