Chapter 80 Promoting the Papermaking and Printing Industry
After leaving from the emperor, Qin Ming was originally going to go to the city to patrol the government.
But as soon as he came out of the Qingxin Palace, the voice of the system's little Lori sounded in his head:
"Ding, trigger a late mission."
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Please, it's all late, don't release it, right?" ”
"Ding, no, you can be late for the mission, but you will never be absent." System little Lori said.
Qin Ming was speechless, so he listened to the little Lori of the system say:
"Ding, mission released: The host little brother must defeat the four great families within half a month.
Mission Time: Start Now!
Reward: Draw once at random and get 16 points.
Task punishment: 100 times of being shot by passers-by in public. ”
Qin Ming: "? Playing so big? ”
Qin Ming was stunned, is this system a little Lori? How is it like a black belly?
Since he was playing so big, Qin Ming couldn't help but be serious.
Originally, he thought that under normal circumstances, he could knock the four major families into a position in a month.
Now for that...... Time is of the essence.
It is necessary to step up efforts to make people make paper and print books, and it is necessary to open bookstores to break the monopoly of books as soon as possible.
So after thinking for a while, Qin Ming went to the little princess's Anle Palace.
Today's little princess was very unhappy, because she had also heard about Qin Ming's stay at her second sister's place for one night.
As soon as Qin Ming came, he saw the little princess's face dark.
Suddenly, Qin Ming knew that something was wrong, put on a hippie smiling face, and hurriedly ran over to please the little princess.
After comforting and explaining for a long time, Qin Ming finally relieved the little princess.
After the two of them were tired of being crooked for a while, Qin Ming opened his mouth and said to the little princess: "Yan'er, I want to borrow some money from you, do you have it?" ”
"Yes, what are you borrowing money for? How much do you need? The little princess asked.
Qin Ming said: "I plan to open a bookstore, and I plan to open fifty branches in the imperial capital at one time, and the rent alone is worth a lot of money, so I ask you to borrow it." ”
"Open a bookstore?" The little princess was stunned, then stretched out her little hand and touched Qin Ming's forehead, and said:
"Brother Qin Ming, are you okay? How can you talk nonsense? ”
Qin Ming was speechless and said, "What nonsense, I'm serious." ”
"But...... Almost all the books in the imperial capital are monopolized by the four major families, how do you sell them? Where did you get the books to sell? The little princess wondered.
"You don't care about this, I naturally have a way." Qin Ming said confidently.
"Okay, I have 20,000 taels of silver here, is it enough?" The little princess asked.
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, looked the little princess up and down in surprise, and said:
"Yan'er, you don't have to worry about food or clothing in the palace, and you don't have any expenses, it stands to reason that Your Majesty won't give you any money, right? Twenty thousand taels of silver from you? ”
No wonder Qin Ming was shocked, several officials of the Ministry of Rites embezzled only 10,000 taels for more than half a year, and they were confiscated by Qin Ming.
"I'm also a princess, what's strange about tens of thousands of taels of silver." The little princess pursed her lips.
Qin Ming laughed dryly and said, "Okay, I borrowed it, and in the future, you will be the major shareholder of my bookstore, and if you make money, you will share half of the profits." ”
The little princess said, "It doesn't matter, the money will be given to you." ”
In fact, Qin Ming looked for the little princess, and he also knew that he would make money.
If you borrow money from someone else, you will have to pay dividends when the time comes.
It's different to find a little princess, the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders.
So Qin Ming calculated, the current imperial capital, ordinary stores, the annual rent is ten taels of silver.
Qin Ming himself has 10,000 taels of silver, plus 20,000 taels of the little princess, for a total of 30,000.
If you open a hundred shops, it will only be a thousand taels of silver.
Of course, there are countless workers, all kinds of wages, and the cost of raw materials, which is much larger than the cost of rent.
But now it's 30,000 taels, and it's time to play.
So Qin Ming took the money and quickly left Anle Palace.
He didn't go back first, but went to the emperor again, and told the emperor that he wanted to go to the imperial study to find some books that the current scholars mainly study.
After getting these books, Qin Ming quickly returned to the Qin Mansion.
Half a month's time is very tight.
Back in the Qin Mansion, there were already dozens of workers working in the courtyard.
The workers were divided into two parts, one of which made simple paper-making tools according to the patterns drawn by Qin Ming on the paper.
The other part is to make tools for movable type printing according to Qin Ming's drawings.
Qin Ming saw that the old housekeeper was doing a good job, so he gave him a few hundred taels of silver and asked him to continue to find workers, it was best to find some literate carvers, no matter how much it spent, it didn't matter how much it was, how many people were invited.
The housekeeper took the money and quickly went to do it, and in the afternoon of the same day, three or four hundred people gathered in Qin Ming's mansion, all of whom were according to Qin Ming's distribution, making paper for paper, and printing for movable type.
And for the next two days, the Qin Mansion was very lively.
The workers were paid twice as much as the outside, ate and lived in Qinfu, and worked overtime one by one with great enthusiasm, and in less than three days, dozens of paper-making tools and movable type printing templates were made.
Thus, the production of the assembly line began.
Paper was made in the front yard, and the paper was cut to the size of a book paper and sent to the backyard for mass printing.
The content of the template is the main book of these readers taken from the emperor.
When the printing is good, it is the binding, and it is a simple line-bound book.
With cost savings and faster quantities, the assembly line for the production of books began to operate normally on the fourth day.
In one day, 3,000 books were bound.
Although these books are simple, they are intended for ordinary people, and there is no need for hardcover, as long as the content is clear.
As a result, as the technology and assembly line become more and more mature, the daily output of books is getting higher and higher.
And Qin Ming is still trying to let the housekeeper recruit people, make printing templates, and make papermaking tools.
By the fifth or sixth day, more than 10,000 or 20,000 books could be bound in a day.
Day 10.
Qin Ming stood in the attic, looking at the huge Qin Mansion full of busy workers, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He didn't expect that he would promote the paper and printing industry in this world.
At the same time, he looked at the 100,000 books stored in the warehouse and took a deep breath.
The last five days of the next five days are time to really fight these families.
Since the last time the twenty-three men in charge of the Zheng family were killed, although the public suspected Qin Ming, because there was evidence to prove that this matter really had nothing to do with Qin Ming.
As a result, the clans instead moved the spearhead against Qin Ming.
Qin Ming's killing of the son of the Zheng family and the closure of the head of the Zheng family did make some big families unhappy, and they felt that Qin Ming threatened their status.
During that time, Qin Ming was ready to be targeted by the family.
But who knew that after the Zheng family was killed twenty-three people, the other three major families paid more attention to the murderer of the twenty-three people, and ignored Qin Ming.
This just makes Qin Mingle leisure, and he can make paper and print books with peace of mind.
Now, it's time for these books to hit the market.
After going down to the attic, Qin Ming asked the housekeeper: "Have you rented a hundred shops with the best locations?" ”
The housekeeper nodded: "It's all right, as long as the book goes, you can do business...... It's just that if we sell books like this, and the quantity is so large, we will definitely be targeted by those big families. ”
Qin Ming sneered: "Hmph, it's them, are you afraid that they will target you?" Starting tomorrow, sell books. The jobs of the big families, Lao Tzu Qin Ming robbed them! ”
