Li Yuanjia is still a little hesitant about the new number game, but he has already made up his mind to expand the production of cards.

300 paintings a month, it must be made!

And this is just a short-term plan, when the twenty people sent by Han Lucheng are familiar with the process and procedures, and after collecting more papermaking materials during the Spring Festival next year, the monthly output will reach at least 1,000 pairs!

I don't dare to say more, I will make him five or six thousand pairs next year.

Don't look at the fact that Xinhua Bookstore sells more than ten or twenty pairs every ten years now, which is like hunger marketing, it is because Li Yuanjia has never thought about producing too much. If you really let it go, it is possible to make him 10,000 pairs a year!

It's just that there are enough people, but the materials are a little insufficient.

To make cards, you have to use special cardboard, and the workshops outside the city have not made much in total, and if you want to recreate it, you must wait until the beginning of spring next year to take a very special plant juice as a binder. Therefore, now the transfer of people in the past can speed up the production speed, and use up the remaining paper as soon as possible, on the other hand, it is also a "talent reserve", so as not to prepare new papermaking materials for the spring next year, but there are not enough people.

The reason for the big play cards, of course, is Arabic numerals.

While continuing to write on the white paper, Li Yuanjia thought silently: "Don't say anything else, at least if you can play poker, they can always recognize the numbers from 1 to 10, right?" ”

No matter what the era, there are two things that will always spread the fastest.

To put it simply, one is something that makes money, and the other is something that makes people happy. Solitaire can't make money, but it can bring a lot of joy to people in this era, especially women who have a lot of time every day, and solitaire is much more interesting than other games.

Anyway, as long as you don't take out the mahjong, you should be invincible in this era to fight landlords and upgrades.

"Alas......"

As soon as he remembered that he had to rack his brains to promote Arabic numerals in Datang, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but sigh, feeling that he must be the saddest one among the traversers......

……

As a superior, Li Yuanjia said a word, and the people below naturally broke their legs.

In just ten days, twenty Clever ...... At least the relatively clever young man set out from the Han Wangfu in the city to report to the farm outside the city. They will join the printing and paper workshops and begin to learn how to make cards, aiming to become skilled printers or papermakers in the coming months.

At the same time, nearly forty teenagers were transferred and became Li Yuanjia's slaves.

Han Wangfu wanted to buy people, whether it was the officials in charge of managing the official slaves or the traffickers in Chang'an City, they naturally did not dare to slack off, and quickly picked out a healthy and literate teenager between the ages of twelve and fifteen from his "inventory" and sold it to Han Lucheng.

The price is fair and the service is considerate.

Anyway, when the thirty-six teenagers stood in front of Li Yuanjia, they all wore new clothes, although they were still burlap, but they were clean and tidy, and they were ......

"Everybody was showered and their hair was neatly combed."

Standing beside Li Yuanjia, Han Lucheng said in a low voice: "And we have already checked it, and there is nothing wrong with the body, but some people have lost a little weight." ”

"Hehe, that's okay, just raise it for a few days."

It's normal to be thin, after all, except for those beautiful slave girls, who would want to give these boys good food and drink every day?

I was able to eat enough every day, and it didn't take long to come back.

Li Yuanjia was concerned about another matter, and asked in a low voice: "These people, have they all read?" ”

"I have read all of the king's words, and the worst one has also read three or four years!"

"Oh? It's true? ”

After listening to Han Lucheng's words, Li Yuanjia's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his eyes immediately became quite surprised when he looked at these thirty teenagers.

The cost of studying for a year is not low, even if it is an ordinary private school, the fees and various expenses are comparable to those of a private aristocratic school in the future, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to afford it. As for the children of the "untouchable" family, don't even think about it! And if you can read for three or four years in one breath, the cost will make the landlords feel extremely painful.

Therefore, these more than 30 teenagers should have been classified as lowly because of their sins!

In other words, they should have been eunuchs...... At least it's the son-in-law of a big family?

"Really, my lord."

Looking at Li Yuanjia's surprised appearance, Han Lucheng hurriedly nodded and said, "The oldest ones, some of them have even been reading for seven or eight years, and they know more words than me!" ”

"Well, that's good!"

Raising his eyebrows, Li Yuanjia's face was full of satisfaction.

Becoming slaves in their teens, those children are indeed worthy of sympathy...... Well, Li Yuanjia must admit that he does not have a lot of sympathy in his heart at this time, and the only thing left is satisfaction.

Ordinary sons of slaves naturally have no qualifications and no conditions to read and write, so these teenagers must have fallen from the position of Gongzi and become slaves. And most of these changes can only be due to one reason, and that is a major sin committed in the family.

Twenty years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the large-scale war has long ended.

Slaves from previous dynasties, or slaves captured in large-scale wars, and those who have studied for a few years, must be at least in their thirties, right?

So these young men should be the children of the family who have participated in the rebellion in recent years.

Although he was educated in his previous life and told Li Yuanjia that the teenagers should be innocent and should not be hurt like this; But everything he has seen in this life tells Li Yuanjia that this era does not believe in the word innocence, and it is a matter of course for the fathers to choose to let the younger generations bear the consequences......

The only thing Li Yuanjia can guarantee is that he can treat these teenagers well.

At least no one in the Han Wangfu will blatantly bully them, let alone risk their lives, and as long as they are honest, they will definitely be able to eat enough, dress warmly, and be happier than ordinary Datang civilians.

So when Han Lucheng stood aside, Li Yuanjia stepped forward and glanced at the teenagers in front of him.

Their faces are either frightened, afraid, stubborn, or sad, and each has a different mental activity, just like each of them has its own story.

But for Li Yuanjia, none of this matters.

He doesn't care about these people's past, he only wants their future.

So he quietly looked at the teenagers in front of him, until many people's expressions began to become uneasy, Li Yuanjia smiled slightly and said: "I know, you are not reconciled, and you are not willing to be sluts for a lifetime, so this king is willing to give you a chance......"
