"Did you hear that? The blacksmiths got a reward of 100 yuan! ”

When it was dark, he walked into the workshop, and Niu Da came to Wang Pu's side and asked curiously, "Mr. Wang, what are they doing?" Can the king reward them with a hundred times? ”

When he said these words, Niu Da could be said to be quite unconvinced!

They made the best white paper in the whole Tang Dynasty, especially after moving outside Chang'an City this year, the latest batch of paper completely exceeded the tribute of the Li family paper mill, and at that time they only got a reward of 20 yuan, how can those gang of ironsmiths get 100 yuan?

Thinking that Shi Sheng could get at least twenty yuan in this hundred yuan reward, Niu Da was very unhappy in his heart.

As the steward of the paper mill and the teacher of Li Zhong's five guys, Wang Pu naturally knew what they were doing, waved his hand and said impatiently: "Just do your own thing, what do you do to manage others?" ”

“…… Be. ”

Although his face was still very unconvinced, after listening to Wang Pu's words, Niu Da still nodded honestly.

For Wang Pu, the steward, he is now both respectful and afraid.

It is worth mentioning that since this guy came to the paper mill, the paper made by the two brothers has been getting better and better, and the current craftsmanship has far surpassed that of his father, that is, their papermaking teacher; And what I am afraid of is still Wang Pu's ability, because in the few months when Li Zhong and the others came to study with him, Niu Da watched them under Wang Pu's command, from knowing nothing about papermaking to finally making a batch of high-quality white paper by himself......

In just two or three years, Wang Pu's ability in papermaking has surpassed them!

This made Niu Da begin to wonder if he and his younger brother were really two stupid people like Wang Pu scolded them when he was angry? Otherwise, why would it only take two or three years for people to do better than what they have done after more than ten years of studying?

So for Wang Pu, Niu Da is becoming more and more afraid......

It's just that Wang Pu has already seen a thorough view of his careful thinking, and he has always scoffed - if it weren't for the king's request, and the white paper made in the past two years has also given him a considerable sense of satisfaction, Wang Pu would be willing to stay with two rough men in the papermaking workshop?

So he wasn't in the mood to pay attention to Niu Da's jealousy, Wang Pu raised his eyebrows and said, "Niu Da, our workshop should have been completed in these two days, right?" ”

"I just came back from over there, and it's completely built!"

Speaking of their new workshops, Niu Da's spirits lifted and his mood immediately improved: "Mr. Wang, you really should go and have a look with me today...... The new workshop is several times larger than ours in Luzhou, and the things inside are all new! ”

"I'm going to the palace today, where is the time to pass?"

Glaring at Niu Da, Wang Pu said angrily: "The king is going to move to the new house in Shengye Fang tomorrow, and several stewards will go to help today...... Forget it, I'll tell you what to do! Niu Da, have you recruited all the people? ”

"It's all right, six people are not a lot!"

"Good, very good!"

Clapping his hands, Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "Since such a large workshop has been built, and the king has equipped us with so many manpower, then starting next spring, we won't be able to eat idle meals in the house all the time!" ”

"Eating leisure? We? ”

Listening to Wang Pu's words, Niu Da's eyes almost popped out!

I'm so busy every day, how can I become an idle eater?

It's a pity that people didn't pay attention to him at all, and when he thought of seeing those high-spirited boys today, Wang Pu's competitive spirit in his heart burst out, staring at Niu Dadao: "Wang Renhou, let's make 3,000 blank sheets of paper every month next year, but we can't really go towards this goal!" Tomorrow in June, at least 5,000 blank sheets of paper will be made every month! ”

"Five...... Five thousand?! ”

After hearing this number, Niu Da was so frightened that he shivered!

He wasn't one of those raw melons and eggs who had just been assigned to the paper workshop by the butler, and he knew very well what it was to make 5,000 sheets of blank paper a month - in fact, they only made more than 2,000 sheets a month at most!

5,000 a month, isn't it a human life!

"What? Scared? ”

Glancing at Niu Da obliquely, Wang Pu asked with disdain.

Five thousand faces in a month become like this? So if this guy knew that the king's expectation for them was 10,000 a month, wouldn't he be so frightened that he would sit on the ground?

"Goo-dong...... Not afraid! ”

Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, Niu Da said with a bitter face: "It's just Mr. Wang, we only have more than 2,000 pieces a month at most, and this time it has risen to 5,000 sheets...... Isn't it too urgent? Even if we make so much blank paper, we won't be able to use it up, right? ”

Just for the king to practice calligraphy and write things, how much blank paper can he use?

Aren't you going to give it away?

"Huh."

Squinting his eyes, Wang Pu sneered: "Too anxious? Let me tell you, now that Li Zhong and the others have received a reward of 100 yuan, no matter how much blank paper we make in the future, the king will not be too much......"

……

Because of the latest improvement of movable type alloy, Li Zhong and his blacksmiths received a bounty of 100 yuan, which once again made the craftsmen of Han Wangfu excited, and their competitiveness was great!

A total of 100 yuan of reward money is divided among several craftsmen, and at least 20 yuan per person!

"How's it going, look red, right?"

In the glass workshop, which had also just been built, the young steward Han Cheng looked at a few craftsmen under him, pouted, and said, "If your eyes are red, you will do a good job for me!" Now that nothing has been done on our side, you are at ease, I am still ashamed! ”

While speaking, Han Cheng was also a little irritable.

At the same time, he was appointed as a steward by the king, but now several people have gradually divided their priorities.

Zhang Wan and Ma Liang don't need to say much, one is responsible for the construction and takes care of everything in the new palace in an orderly manner; One is in charge of teaching, and I heard that he is also quite appreciated by the king, and even Sun Zhan, who everyone thought was the most unlucky, because the kapok planted lived more than 20%, and he was also rewarded by the king with ten yuan a few days ago......

Only these glass craftsmen brought by Han Cheng have no clue so far.

It is not difficult to make glass, several people have tried dozens of times before, but they want to create the transparent glass ...... that the king wants.

“……”

After listening to Han Cheng's words, several craftsmen looked at each other and sighed in their hearts at the same time.

As easy as it sounds, who doesn't know how hard it is to do?

Seeing the expressions and eyes of several craftsmen, Han Cheng's heart moved, and he squinted his eyes and said, "I tell you, when we make the glaze that the king wants in the future, I guarantee that you will definitely not be less than the reward they got from Shi Sheng......
