Papermaking technology and printing technology are mature technologies in Wagang City, and the scale of the printing workshop is not small compared to the papermaking workshop.

All the printing was printed with movable type, and the first printed matter was printed in a notebook with vertical lines.

The officials of Wagang City now have ten books, which are used for record-keeping.

The production of this kind of notebook is also learned from Youzhou, but Wagang has just begun, and if you want to reach the level that everyone can read, you still need to print a lot.

But these are for experimentation.

Li Shimin still needs to print newspapers and some books through movable type printing.

For the first time the newspaper was issued, Li Shimin was going to print 30,000 points, and at first he printed several issues for free without charge, and also imitated Youzhou's implementation model.

The propaganda content of Wagang was published, and the prestige let the people of the world know the situation of the power of Wagang City, and it was only then that advertisements were placed in newspapers, especially cement supplies, bicycles, wholesale paper, and books.

Some businessmen in Wagang City are also very interested in placing advertisements in Wagang newspapers, which can be regarded as keeping face.

When the first Wagang newspaper entered Chang'an, it was distributed in various restaurants and inns, and Luoyang, Jiangling and other places were the same.

The 30,000-minute newspaper was quickly distributed, but it brought a lot of surprise to the people, and there were also newspapers in Wagang City who were curious about what kind of content would be published on it.

Li Shimin is very pragmatic, attracting investment and encouraging trade, and the development of business in Wagang City will receive strong support, and even directly exempt the tax for half a year, and the tax will be halved in the second half of the year.

It is very attractive to many businessmen, and then there are some decrees of Wagang City, such as the support for business, etc., all of which are propaganda.

Li Yuan felt depressed in his heart when he saw it, isn't this a copy of Youzhou, and the propaganda of Wagang looks like it is here to dig the corner of the Tang Kingdom.

In addition, the people who go to Wagang City choose to farm are also divided into 100 acres of fields, which is basically the same as the support in Youzhou.

Li Yuan was angry and there was no way, who let Chang'an, Luoyang and other places not have so many fields, but he didn't do nothing during this time.

Instead, he encouraged the cultivation of the land and distributed it to the cultivators, so that the people could get more food.

But after all, it is impossible to change the problem of various taxes, although the people can share more grain and pay more food, and it is far from being able to talk about welfare.

"Li Shimin's actions are fast enough, Tong Fu, you go and talk to them about paper orders, and try to keep the cost down."

Li De found that it is really good to have someone to lead the worker, Youzhou has a great demand for paper, and if you can purchase Wagang City, you can save a lot of costs.

The paper used in the medical school and the school in Youzhou is supplied free of charge by the castle guard, so the lower the cost, the better.

The purchase of paper from Wagang City is also purposeful, one is to save costs and the other is to save production pressure, so that the papermaking workshop can spare more time to develop papermaking technology.

Technology is the primary productive force, no advanced technology is not possible, the cost of rice paper is not low now, and then there are different uses of paper thickness specifications.

Li De wants to develop a variety of papermaking processes and apply them to various industries, taking snacks in Youzhou as an example, some special paper is needed for packaging.

Technology is slowly accumulated with experience and innovation, and it is not rushed.

Tong Fu went to Wagang City, and this time he met with the eldest grandson Wuji again, but now it was the turn of the eldest grandson Wuji to entertain.

The banquet specifications are very in place.

Compared with Youzhou's vigorous and resolute business, the hospitality on Wagang's side is a little intriguing.

Tong Fu didn't have any dissatisfaction, he just followed the customs, and it was absolutely impossible to let him do things that were harmful to the interests of Youzhou, this was a matter of principle and could not be compromised.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, Tong Fu came here this time to purchase paper."

"How much to order?"

"The first batch of paper is three months' output for twenty workshops, and the second batch is to be purchased in quantities to be determined but not less than one month's output."

Li Shimin immediately became interested after hearing this, so much paper is all purchased, isn't Youzhou planning to make paper?

Doubts are doubts, but the order must not be missed, after all, the price of paper is cheap, and the benefits are great.

"How's the price?"

"The value is 30% lower than the market price in Youzhou."

The eldest grandson Wuji was very hesitant, after all, the paper in Youzhou was originally a small profit but quick turnover, and although it was three percent lower, although some of it earned, the benefits were definitely not as good as the normal output, but the number of orders was very large, and it was a long-term cooperation, and he couldn't bear to give up.

"How much profit can you make?" Li Shimin asked.

"Less than 20 percent." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"There are two percent of the benefits to be promised."

The benefits are lower, in fact, if the caravan is promoted at this price, the benefits may be less, but this is a procurement, only need to be manufactured and supplied to Youzhou, and a lot of expenses can be saved during the process.

"Will it affect the supply in all parts of the Tang Kingdom?" Li Shimin asked again.

The eldest grandson Wuji knew very well that Tang's domestic sales were the main market they wanted to seize, so they had extended the supply time to Youzhou during the negotiations.

In this way, there will be time to produce more of what the Tang State needs.

"No, time has already been reserved, and the cost can be recouped in three years at the current output."

The eldest grandson Wuji finished talking about the paper and brought up the matter of the money bank.

"Your Highness, Tong Fu from Youzhou said that he hopes to establish a money bank in Wagang City, and in the future, when it comes to large transactions, he can directly use money tickets to settle them."

After hearing this, Li Shimin felt that this matter was inappropriate, he knew about the affairs of the money bank, although it could be convenient for transactions, but the money bank would absorb the people's deposits, and once it was opened in Wagang, it was necessary to follow the rules of the money bank.

Besides, the money tickets issued by the money bank cannot be controlled, which will definitely lead to price fluctuations in Wagang City, which will do more harm than good at present, unless Wagang City can establish its own money bank to issue its own money tickets.

But this does not guarantee that both banks will be able to obtain their own interests, unless the coins are unified.

"I can't agree to the matter of the money bank."

The eldest grandson Wuji actually wants to establish his own money bank, and the money ticket transactions in Youzhou Money Bank have gradually become popular, and many people in Youzhou are using money tickets to pay.

Copper coins as a daily transaction of gold and silver has gradually decreased, and the money paid by Youzhou to Wagang is mainly silver, and one car per transaction is enough to be as troublesome as copper coins.

Most of the coins paid in Wagang City were mixed with a large number of copper coins, because there was very little gold and silver.

If it is possible to issue money stamps as flat transportation, it will greatly save costs and be much more convenient.

He also knew that if he wanted to establish a money village, he could not meet the requirements with the power of Wagang, and it would be easier for the Tang State to promote the money village.
