Yi Qingqing used to be the gorgeous Oiran of Chang'an, even though Zong Xiu asked her out, but she was also ordered by Lao Li not to show her face, she was a 'dead man'.

Although Zong Xiu also took her out, every time she went out, she only dared to go to places with few people, and she still wore a veil.

This has been going back and forth for a long time, and it is easy to be depressed.

Until Li Daozong sent the giant panda.

The little guy looks cute and very smart, every time Zong Xiu enters Chang'an City to do something, Yi is afraid that many people will show his heels, and he doesn't want to accompany him, so he stays at home and plays with the golden tiger.

Today, the Golden Tiger is no longer active unusually, but eats and sleeps, can you not be in a hurry?

The little girl was red-eyed, afraid that something would happen.

"Childe, why don't you go and have a look."

In Yi's eyes, Jinhu is no longer a pet, but a playmate, a friend, and a relative.

Zong Xiu sighed, could it be that this is the so-called blessing and misfortune? Over there, Lao Li Gang named him the 'Heaven and Earth Sect', and he also had to give him statues in official schools all over the country to show his merits, so there were frequent troubles here......

"Don't worry, I'll take a look, maybe I was too crazy a few days ago and started to get sleepy."

Zong Xiu pulled Yi to walk towards the bedroom.

The little one has been sleeping in the room where he is easy to love, and the nest is at the head of the bed.

When Zong Xiu entered, the little guy seemed to hear the noise, muttered twice, turned over and continued to sleep.

Yi was even more anxious: "Childe, look, in the past, when you came back, the Golden Tiger would chase after you, but now it doesn't even open its eyes." ”

“……”

Zong Xiu wondered, he is not a veterinarian, how can he treat pandas. And in his memory, pandas do not hibernate, and the colder the weather, the more energetic they are.

Ke Yi was about to cry in a hurry, Zong Xiu could only pretend to bend down and hug the little guy.

The sleeping little one grinned and didn't move.

Is it really sick?

Zong Xiu touched the belly of the little guy, the furry bulging bag, he was full of food, and his hair was also beautiful.

Then I opened the mouth of the little guy who was sleeping and looked at the teeth, and the little white teeth were neatly pierced, and there were no red and yellow spots at the root of the teeth.

"Childe, is Jin Hu sick?"

Yi Yi's eyes were red, he was anxious to shed tears, and his hands were nervously stirred together.

Zong Xiu put the little guy back in the nest, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't want Yi to cry, so he comforted: "It's okay, it wants to grow up." Just like a baby, babies don't sleep every day. ”

"Really? Childe didn't cheat on the girl? ”

Zong Xiu nodded, and forced a smile: "What are you lying to?" You see, it's going to get bigger and bigger lately, and maybe in half a year, you'll be able to ride it on the streets. ”

When I heard that the little guy was fine, I was easy to burst into tears and laugh.

"Childe, the golden tiger is not a horse and a donkey, and you won't crush it if you ride it."

"Hehe, an adult giant panda is more powerful than a horse, and it's absolutely no problem to carry two of them."

Zong Xiu comforted a few more words, and called hot water to soak his feet to sleep, but before he could put his feet in, he heard a knock on the door.

"Is the president resting? The old Jiang Lian has something important to see. ”

"Uncle Jiang? What did he do? ”

Yi Chengqing, who was packing up Zong Xiu's clothes, was puzzled.

Zong Xiu knew what Jiang Jian was talking about, so he had no choice but to put on the shoes and socks he had taken off again: "Girl, go and open the door." ”

"Yes."

Yi Qingqing left with brisk steps, and when he came back, he was still followed by Jiang Jian and Jiang Chen.

As soon as Jiang Jian entered the door, he shouted loudly: "President, our paper really can't be broken." The paper merchants have relented, and promised to come at the original price, saying that as long as they can continue to cooperate, they are willing to send a batch of paper for free. ”

"Shhhh......h ”

"Forehead ......"

Jiang Jian felt like he was going crazy, when was this, and the president was still worried about the sleeping problems of a giant panda.

But what could he do, he could only lower his voice and say, "President, the paper really can't be broken." ”

Zong Xiu smiled: "Why can't you break it?" Let me ask you, how much paper do we have in stock now? ”

Since Jiang Jian took charge of the printing house, he has to do everything himself, and he has to do everything himself, including the purchase and shipment of goods, printing labor, and everything in his heart.

Hearing Zong Xiu ask, he said without thinking about it: "At the beginning, the chairman said that you should be prepared for business, and every time you buy goods, you will leave an extra batch of inventory, and you currently have 500,000 pieces of paper. ”

"How many sheets of paper do we need for an issue?"

Jong Xiu asked again.

Jiang Jian felt that this was insulting his IQ, he had printed more than a dozen issues, could he still remember how much paper he needed for an issue of newspapers and periodicals?

"All we enter are large papers, two square feet of each issue of newspapers and periodicals, printed on the front and back. One large piece of paper can print twenty newspapers. ”

"Well, yes, then let me ask you again, how many issues of newspapers and periodicals are enough for us with these 500,000 large papers?"

"Ten Phases!"

After Jiang Jian finished speaking, he said hurriedly.

"Even if we have enough inventory to last a month, it won't be enough for us to find new paper dealers and ship the paper. Those few people who cooperate with us are all big paper merchants near Chang'an City, and you have to print dictionaries later, and no one can give us so much paper except them. ”

Hearing the dictionary Zongxiu, he came to the fire, and this time several paper merchants dared to sit on the ground and raise the price, and someone definitely leaked the news that he was going to print the dictionary on a large scale.

Zong Xiu said coldly: "You can put the dictionary thing aside for a while, and recently take out all the inventory for printing the next few issues of the newspaper." ”

"But the problem of paper always has to be solved, right?"

Jiang Lian is in a hurry, why can't the president listen to the words? Even if the paper in stock is enough to last for a month, where can I find a new paper merchant in a month?

They are printing houses, and the demand for paper is extremely huge, which really offends the big paper merchants around Chang'an City, and they really can't find so much paper in a short time.

Seeing Jiang Lian's anxious anger, Zong Xiu sneered: "You don't have to worry about the problem of paper, I have my own solution." Now we have something more important! ”

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Jian hurriedly asked.

"Mole! Find out the traitors lurking in our factory! ”

Zong Xiu's voice was so strong that his lungs were about to explode.

Jiang Lian, Jiang Chen, and Yi were all shocked when they heard the word "traitor".

"Childe, is there really a mole in our factory?"

"It shouldn't be, President, the old people recruit poor people, and the money we give is also high, how can there be ungrateful people."

Jiang Chen held the handle of the knife and said murderously: "President, do you need me to arrest the guys from the printing house and interrogate them one by one?" ”

Jiang Chen was a soldier and fought when he was young, and he hated the word 'traitor' because of an indescribable past.

Zong Xiu waved his hand: "There is no need to interrogate them one by one, just check the people who have recently come into contact with the 'dictionary' one by one." ”

Zong Xiu explained: "I don't know much about printing dictionaries on a large scale, it is impossible for the palace to leak it, the Chai family and we are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they will not dig their own graves." This problem must be in our factory. ”

Although Zong Xiu stopped all the newspapers and periodicals in order to work on "Zhenguan Dictionary" a few days ago, and asked all the guys to help. But most of those guys are illiterate, and they only work mechanically. Handed over the typeset plate and they printed it.

The only person who really knows that this thing is a dictionary and will be printed on a large scale in the future is the person in charge of typesetting in the 'character room'.

Zong Xiu thought for a while and ordered: "Brother Jiang, you take all the young people who protect the village overnight, invite all the masters of the character room to the newly built hall, and let them wait for me to come over." ”

"Yes."

Jiang Chen was about to leave with the knife, and Zong Xiu instructed again: "Remember, before the inner ghost is confirmed, be polite to everyone, don't hurt the harmony." Also, no one was allowed to sleep until I went. ”

"I understand, when the time comes, I will say that the president has important things to explain to you."

"Okay, that's all."

Zong Xiu waved his hand and motioned for Jiang Chen to invite someone.

Jiang Jian looked at Jiang Chen's murderous back, sighed, and blamed himself: "It's all the fault of the old man, the president, this is to blame for the old man, it is the old man who did not supervise it well, and asked the chairman to order the removal of the old man's position." ”

"What Uncle Jiang said, I see your ability, we are short of manpower right now, but we don't have any tricks."

Zong Xiu comforted Jiang Jian a few words, and asked Jiang Jian to go to the newly built hall in Jiangjia Village to wait first.

When Jiang Jian was leaving, he was still worried about the supply of paper, but Zong Xiu said mysteriously: "Don't worry, wait for the inner ghost to find out, and then solve the problem of paper." ”

"Childe, can the paper problem really be solved?"

Yi poured hot water for Zong Xiu again and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, I'm afraid it's not easy, after all, papermaking is not my major."

Zong Xiu sighed.

"Papermaking? Childe plans to make his own paper? Yi said in astonishment.

Zong Xiu took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet in the wooden basin, and said with a smile: "We started by printing, and the fundamental lifeblood is paper, and we can't always let people hold our lifeline." Besides, the world will involve all walks of life in the future, and sooner or later it will have to make paper. Originally, I wanted to wait a few days, but now they are all forced to come to the door, so I have to advance. ”

“……”

Yi Tingqing suddenly found that she could never figure out her son-in-law's mind, no matter what she did, it was a whim, and she would do what she said.

Zong Xiu frowned while soaking his feet, he would have a headache.

As he said, papermaking was not his specialty, and there was papermaking in the Western Han Dynasty, and after Cai Lun improved papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the paper industry entered a prosperous era.

What 'hemp, rice bran, bark ......' and so on can be used to make paper.

Especially in the current Tang Dynasty, wealthy literati prefer to use mulberry and rattan paper, but the cost is too great.

What I can do now is to make the original bamboo paper decades in advance.

However, he knows the 'bamboo paper', and the 'bamboo paper' doesn't know him.

How to build it, it's a big question!

Zong Xiu thought about it, but it really didn't work, so he first recruited some craftsmen who could make paper, and produced some paper by himself, and slowly experimented with bamboo paper later.

"Girl, I'm done."

Zong Xiu took the rag and wiped his feet, Yi walked in quickly to pour water, and saw that Zong Xiu had already laid down, and couldn't help but be curious.

"Isn't Childe going to the hall to find a traitor? How do you lie down? ”
