”Miss.” In the silence, he heard Bai Fu shouting from outside: ”The Song Manor's carriage has already reached the back door.”

After Soong Yiqing bought the paper making technique, he started to prepare all sorts of raw materials without stopping. Yesterday, someone had come to pass on that he had finished preparing the materials, and was only waiting for Bai Zheng to go to the workshop to teach paper making techniques.

The Song Manor's front door was no longer accessible, so Bai Zheng had to go through the back door and get on a horse carriage to leave.

The horse carriage drove all the way out of the main city of Yongding City, and after passing by several mountain roads, they finally arrived at a house that was tightly guarded.

Soong Yiqing, dressed in beautiful and flashy clothes, was already waiting in front of the house.

Seeing Bai Zheng walking down from the carriage, she hurriedly walked forward. ”Pa Da”, opened a fan on a piece of paper and fanned Bai Zheng with it: ”Miss Bai has worked hard here.”

”I thought that once we parted that day, Young Master Soong would never want to see me again in this lifetime.” Bai Zheng laughed in ridicule. Her peach pink clothes made her cheeks seem even more tender, and her head swayed slightly, making her look extremely lively.

Soong Yiqing did not mind and laughed: ”That day, I did not manage to turn around and offended the Miss Bai. I hope that Miss Bai will not forget this lowly one.”

Originally, he had thought things through because of Feng Linyuan's words. After the order to increase the taxes, it made him feel an even stronger sense of gratitude towards Bai Zheng.

If not for the fact that Soong Family had caused him to lose two hundred thousand gold just now due to the paper making technique, according to this taxation method, he would probably have to pay at least another hundred thousand gold.

Bai Zheng naturally understood what he meant, and stepped through the door with a faint smile.

This house didn't look very big, and there weren't many people in the yard. However, there were a total of ten large vats, and the ground was covered with reeds, wheat grass, straw, and sorghum stalks.

”Is there a problem with the material?” Soong Yiqing asked carefully.

Bai Zheng did not speak, she walked forward and carefully checked the wheat straw on the ground, and from time to time she would flip through it. Finally, she nodded in satisfaction and said, ”Young Master Soong is fully prepared, and the things are even better than what I imagined.”

Soong Yiqing revealed a dazzling white teeth as he smiled proudly. He clapped his hands and ten blacksmiths gathered around him.

”These people are all children of my Soong Family. At that time, I will be in charge of preparing the documents. I will trouble Miss Bai to pass down the paper crafting technique to them.”

Bai Zheng nodded. Her line of sight suddenly landed on the back of the vats, where there were several square wooden planks.

Following Bai Zheng's line of sight, Soong Yiqing smiled even more brilliantly than before: ”As for the method to print on this book … Can you teach the Miss Bai as well? ”

Bai Zheng frowned, she looked to be in a difficult situation: ”Young Master Soong's two hundred thousand was only used to buy paper, this printing technique is …. If the price is suitable, I will not hide it. ”

Soong Yiqing's smile froze on his face. ”Miss Bai, you don't even have two hundred thousand taels of Soong Family left to extort!”

Bai Zheng smiled slightly: ”Of course, if Soong Family can work together with me further on the basis of paper creation. ”Then I don't mind, using printing as a way to cooperate in the future.”

Soong Yiqing's frozen smile gradually warmed up following Bai Zheng's words. ”How does Miss Bai want to cooperate?”

”I heard that the pottery and porcelain ware burnt out in Song Guang's kiln was well-liked not only in the entire Great Zhou, but also in the Xiliang and the surrounding small nations. I want to borrow your Soong Family to burn a few masters in the kiln and learn some skills. ”

”Song Jun's technique is something that my Soong Family has specially searched for craftsmen for over twenty years before finally achieving its current state. Miss Bai wanted to learn the art of craftsmen using Soong Family …”

Soong Yiqing dragged his words, he did not finish his words, but the difficult expression on his face was already self-evident.
