Chapter 173 Paper Mill

Jia Rong seriously registered Hu Wei's name on the roster, wrote paper at the end, and finally asked Hu Wei's residence. Jia Rong began to ask the next one.

There are few families in Jincheng County, and there are relatively few talents. Even those who come to apply are usually recognized as some wise people. Some have just listened to others a few books and become scholars in the eyes of the people, which shows how poor the popularity of knowledge is.

At present, the only papermaking technicians recruited are Hu Wei, and he can only ask him about opening a paper factory. In terms of papermaking, Jia Rong knows nothing about anything except knowing some more advanced principles.

Hu Wei knows everything and says everything. Even his experience in papermaking for many years has been told to Jia Rong. In the end, Hu Wei's papermaking needs the order of the Emperor of Han. Jia Rong didn't pay attention to it. Just leave these things to Su Shuangda. I heard that the relationship between Su Shuang and Emperor Han has been maintained recently. Wrong, Su Shuang represents himself.

Cai Lun invented papermaking, which greatly facilitates the study of the Han Dynasty, but books are still a problem. The main reason is that the books of the Han Dynasty are transcribed word by word, which is extremely troublesome. Besides, it is impossible for those families to spread the hard-working books, which is why Guan Yu got a The reason why this spring and autumn are regarded as treasures.

In the Han Dynasty, the status of cultural people was very high, and some county magistrates had to treat local celebrities respectfully.

There are many kinds of paper in the Han Dynasty. For example, the paper made of fishing nets is mesh paper, and the paper made of rags is cloth. There are many kinds. However, the paper made by these methods is yellowed, but Zuo Bo of Donglai made delicate and white paper, which is said to be a good story. No matter what these artificial paper is, It is certainly not as good as the paper made by advanced methods. Whether it is the quality of the paper or the quality of the paper, the paper did not reach its peak until the Song Dynasty. The paper is delicate and smooth, which makes you love it.

The paper mill was built according to the specifications of the Han Dynasty. Hu Wei personally guided the construction of the paper mill. The construction of the paper mill naturally needed the help of the craftsmen. Jia Rong's salary was a little higher than before, 30 yuan a day, and the soap made money. Naturally, it is beneficial to the people. When the people have money, they will consume, which forms a With a good circle, people can live a good life. Many of the things in the paper factory are not available in Jincheng. They need to go to the inner county to purchase. With the backing of Xianlian Pavilion, it is easy to complete.

The craftsmen who built houses in Jincheng County have become the most popular figure. When they built the place where ordinary residents lived, it could not be reflected, but the construction of the craftsman's workshop and paper mills gave these craftsmen a salary that made ordinary people extremely jealous. Many people have learned the technology of building, saying that it is The same technical work is actually very simple. The houses in Jincheng are not from Jiuyang. They are all extremely simple one-story houses, and the highest is just a three-story restaurant. In this way, the construction technology is greatly simplified.

Hu Wei is old, and he can't keep up with his eyes and spirit. However, under Hu Wei's letter, six disciples who used to follow Hu Wei to learn papermaking came to Jincheng. For these real technicians, Jia Rong attached great importance to it. In the past, their monthly wages in Dahan's paper factory were consistent money. Rong directly opened a three-slot for them every month, and each person was allocated a house. Hu Wei's salary was directly opened to ten. If this news spreads, I'm afraid it will trigger the shock of ordinary people and trigger the upsurge of people's learning papermaking.

With substantial rewards, these young people have a higher end of their work and say that they will do their best.

Jia Rong doesn't want them to enjoy it so much. They want them to cultivate a group of new apprentices after the completion of the paper factory. Like the craftsman's workshop, the technology cannot be kept secret, and good things should be discussed together.

Hu Wei happily accepted this. When he was old, he didn't want to take away this technology. At the beginning, Hu Wei also learned the technical work of papermaking after many years of suffering. It was difficult for an ordinary person to learn real technology, which also made Hu Wei relax his mind and hand over the technology of papermaking to the people. If it is someone else, it may not be whether Hu Wei will come or not. The main reason is that Jia Rong's actions in Jincheng County give the old man hope, and he can feel Jia Rong's heart.

The matter of the paper mill is completely left to Hu Wei and several people. When it is completed, I will find an appropriate opportunity to teach them the technology of making good paper, so as to reduce costs and make better paper.

Under the wasteland opening order, it reached the 14 counties ruled by Jia Rong, which triggered a wasteland opening craze. In particular, the people from Beiti County performed more enthusiastically. There was no their land in Jincheng County. Jia Rong ordered them to open the wasteland.

The enthusiasm of the Qiang tribe is no less than that of anyone. They came to live in the Han people in the first year. They had nothing except for the houses that Jia Rong helped build. They still knew more or less about the lifestyle of the Han people. They understood the importance of land to the people. After the land was issued, Jia Rong sent Li Wenhou to assist the Qiang people's Department. Open up the wasteland.

Jincheng County is relatively a relatively large county, but after counting all the population of the 14 counties, it is found that there are only more than 100,000 people, including 10,000 ordinary people and Qiang tribes from Bedi County. Such a large county has such a small population, and there is still a lot of land per capita. However, Jincheng County has always been desolate and barren, and the quality of the land is not very good. It is impossible to rely on the people to grow crops to survive.

This time, the army was naturally regarded as a cool force, but I heard that after the opening of the wasteland, these soldiers did not make a complaint, especially the Qiang soldiers, with high morale and high enthusiasm for opening up the land.

Jia Rong pointed to a good field in the distance and asked, "Whose field is this?"

A commoner came up and whispered, "That's the Yu family in the city."

Jia Rong nodded, pointed to another field and continued to ask, "Where's over there?"

"Your Excellency, all the fields around here are Yu's family."

Jia Rong hissed. This family is just a local tycoon in Jincheng County, but it has so many good fields. There are three local tycoons and two families in Jincheng County. These are only the most powerful people, and there are many small local tycoons. Compared with other counties, the situation is still very good, but a small local tycoon has such Many fields have to be thought-provoking, especially the Han family in the local tycoons in Jincheng County and the Han family in the family have an inextricable relationship with Han Sui, which cannot be ignored.

"Go back and ask Lord Zhang to check how much land each local tycoon family in Jincheng County has, and count their details." Jia Rong said to a lone wolf soldier beside him.

The lone wolf quickly left here after holding his fist.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians worked together. After a month, more than 150,000 mu of good fields were opened, and all of these fields belonged to the Taishou Mansion.

The most open wasteland is the county city. The people's army has much more than other counties. More than 50,000 mu of good land have been opened. Other counties have opened a total of more than 80,000 mu. The Qiang tribe has opened nearly 30,000 mu of land, and the per capita can be divided into more than one mu of land. This result will be very good.

The first to get the land is the people from Beida County. Each person gets two mu of land. A family of three can get six mu of land at a time, and the spring ploughing in the coming year can be put into use. The original people of Jincheng County got one mu of land. In this way, there are still more than 10,000 mu of land left. As a result, each Everyone was very happy. Except for the local tycoons and families in the city, the land of the Qiang tribe was handed over to them to deal with.

The local tycoon family has been very honest recently. I probably heard about Jia Rong's methods, but Jia Rong doesn't want to let them go like this. According to Zhang Li's statistics, the family alone has 10,000 mu of good land, which is only on the surface. These local tycoons have a total of nearly 40,000 mu of good land. Good land is not equal to fields. It is that Some terrain is relatively good, with high yield. Generally, a good field can produce one-half more grain per mu of ordinary farmland. For example, if the output of an ordinary field is two stone grain per mu, then a good field is three stones.

The paper mill has been built and is recruiting some workers. The current paper mill is not as particular as that of future generations. It is not as polluted. It does not exist. The main reason is that no one is aware of the word environment. After Su Shuang's mediation in Luyang, Emperor Han also agreed to the Jincheng County Paper Factory, but it has to be handed over every year. A certain amount of money.

The monthly salary of each worker is 500 yuan, which is enough for an ordinary family to save money for a month. As soon as the recruitment order was issued, the front of the paper mill was full of people. Most of the workers ordered by Jia Rong were 15 or 16-year-old workers. There is no labor law in this era, otherwise Jia Rong will have a new crime. Name, the main reason for choosing such a person is that young people learn quickly. Jia Rong doesn't want to have only a few technicians in the paper factory. Naturally, they are invited with a high salary to let more and more people learn papermaking technology.

Just like the craftsman's workshop is now absorbing some young people, the technology of ironmaking requires continuous innovation and creation. Only the old one will not achieve a good ironmaking effect, because these old blacksmiths have their own fixed model, while newcomers are different. With the original foundation, there will be more novel ideas.

These workers will sign a contract when they enter the paper mill and the craftsman's workshop. The paper and craftsman's workshop will pay more money according to the quality of their work, but they will never reduce their wages. They will work in the factory's workshop for 20 years, and all actions will be subject to the command of the Taishou Government, otherwise they will be subject to the Taishou Government. Cut.

If you like this book, please remember to collect it. The cliff is very grateful. Thank you to the brothers and sisters who have always supported the iron horse. Without you, there would be no iron horse now!
