Deal with the affairs of the Wang family, Feng Daiwen breathed a sigh of relief, Shuo Fang's difference is population, heritage, the most important thing in the world is population, the Wang family can bring at least 200,000 people when they move over, plus immigration, Shuofang will soon be able to develop, Guanzhong Plain has been a little overwhelmed after thousands of years of reclamation, Guanzhong's population has migrated out, which can better stabilize the border and leave more space for Guanzhong, even if the population increases in the future, there will be enough space for them.

"It's done, it's done, you see,,,," Ma Zhou excitedly hugged a box and shouted loudly and ran in,

"Why is King Bin so excited," Feng Daiwen looked at Ma Zhou:

"Haha, haha Weiguo, look," Ma Zhou opened the box in his hand and took out a stack of white paper,

"This, this is really done," Feng Daiwen took the white paper handed by Ma Zhou and couldn't believe it: I saw that this paper was the size of A4 paper, snow-white and flawless, slightly thicker, and a little softer than the high-grade rice paper used now.

"Yes, it was made after many experiments by the master craftsmen brought by Chang'an, and there will be no shortage of paper in the future, which is really a blessing for the poor in the world," Ma Zhou's eyes were slightly red and sighed:

Ma Zhou was born in a poor family, and naturally knows the difficulties of reading and writing for the children of the poor family, and the children of the poor family generally learn and practice on the sand to learn words, and they can't even afford to buy paper if they want to copy a book, because rice paper is not something that ordinary people can afford, and it is generally written on bamboo slips.

"Have you tried? How is the writing? What about the cost? Feng Daiwen is also very happy, after all, this papermaking workshop is only a small workshop acquired in the past, which can only produce Caihou paper in the past, which is generally used by the people to wrap things, make paper money to burn to the ancestors, paste windows, etc., Feng Daiwen asked Li Shimin to come to two master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, open and tell them how to get it, plus there is alkali to bleach, add some hemp with the reed rod outside Shuofang, waste silk, etc., after all, later generations know that papermaking only needs to use high-fiber plants, as for how to do it, I really don't know, but alkali is used for bleaching, Decontamination is the best,

"I tried it, it's very good, it's slightly worse than rice paper, it's smooth, it's easy to write, it's good ink absorption, it's not soaked like Caihou paper, the key is cheap," Ma Zhou calmed down and introduced:

"Okay, be sure to reward them, tell them to try more other materials to test, make records, try to use cheap formulas, don't be afraid of waste, it's best to keep improving, Chen Xu, materials. How many are produced now? Feng Daiwen happily said to Ma Zhou:

"This is the first batch, and the previous ones have been rebuilt, and there are 5,000 of them," Ma Zhou said with a smile.

"Haha, very good, let's send it back to Chang'an when we have a little more, and scare them," Feng Daiwen pranked:

"There are still a few days before the mutual market opens, but at present, the grasslands are all small tribes, and this will not affect it." Ma Zhou smiled and asked Feng Daiwen worriedly.

"King Bin doesn't need to worry too much, this is because we cleaned the Shuofang grassland some time ago, even if there are no large tribes, it doesn't matter, after all, many are still waiting," Feng Daiwen said:

"It's good that you know it in your heart, originally today I came to tell you that the market has been built, a total of 20 large warehouses have been built, 100 stores, more than 30 shops have been rented out, and the grassland people have brought cattle and sheep, and arranged to be stationed outside the city," Ma Zhou:

"Let's go and take a look," Feng Daiwen said happily:

"Wei Guo, you see, according to your requirements, the market is a bit big, I'm afraid it is not very suitable to build an urn city in the future." Ma Zhoudao: I saw that the market is a big rectangle, the length is about the same as the length of the city wall, and there are more than 200 meters of extension, divided into two streets, the back of the street is twenty large warehouses, the street is very wide, at least 10 meters of appearance, in the middle according to Feng Daiwen's meaning to build a brick and stone isolation belt, there are flowers and plants planted inside, there are various evergreen trees transplanted outside the store, although the trees are not big, but it is not difficult to see that the scenery will be beautiful in the future.

"Very good, by the way, how is the construction of Binwang Academy," Feng Daiwen looked at Ma Zhou with satisfaction and asked:

"We have 40,000 prisoners and 15,000 workers, so we are building very quickly, but the brick-burning side is a little bit worse, and it will take some time on the college side," Ma Zhou:

"Then separate the manpower, get the bricks first, and build a few more kilns if the bricks are not enough," Feng Daiwen said.

"It's already separated, the captured Turks are mainly building roads, and the academy doesn't worry about those Turks doing it, and only a few people are arranged to do heavy work, but now there are 50 brick kilns burning It's still not enough, look over there," Ma Zhou smiled bitterly: and then pointed to the smoke in the distance:

"Then there is no way, we can only take our time, after all, we have come too short, the population of Shuofang is too small, and there are not many people in many villages, so I asked Xu Jingzong to organize it, re-plan and build the village together, gather those remote and individual together, facilitate farming, arrange prisoners to help build houses, repair a little more, it is estimated that after the opening of the mutual market, many people who migrated over should arrive, and they can't be allowed to come and have no place to live, and some people are arranged to build a new city outside the south gate, Shuofang is too small to expand itWe want to build Shuofang into a commercial city. The road can be built slowly. Feng Daiwen and Ma Zhou chatted as they walked.

"Okay, I'll arrange it later, you can see how the new city is built," Ma Zhou:

"The city should be neat, the roads should be wide, the water supply and sewage must be good, all built with bricks and stones, all built into shops in the front, houses in the back, houses behind the streets should be built into courtyards, and a row of small buildings with courtyards should be built on the side of the river on the other side of the river.

"Well, that's good, I'll arrange to do what I can first," Ma Zhou:

"In this way, you have worked hard with King Raubin, it is really difficult at the beginning now, and after a while, we will have money, and we will let go of our hands and feet," Feng Daiwen had a headache:

"It's okay, when the people in Chang'an see the benefits here, it'll be easy to do." Ma Zhou smiled and laughed:

"Yes, I hope that the people of the Wang family will move over soon, many plans have not yet been implemented," Feng Daiwen put down his worries and smiled easily:

"General, the governor invites you to go to the governor's mansion", a personal guard came to report.

"Do you know what it is," Feng Daiwen asked.

"It seems that a few steppe tribes have come, and the other subordinates don't know," replied the guard.

"Oh, it's just in time, go to King Bin, accompany me to take a look," Feng Daiwen suddenly smiled happily:
