Chapter 112: Rice Paper

System Prompt: Build a paper mill in the origin of Xuan Paper, and successfully activate the manufacturing technology of "Xuan Paper".

"Ahh What's the situation? ”

At the moment when the Jingxian paper mill was successfully built, Yuan Yao received a system prompt, although he didn't figure out what was going on for a while, he vaguely had a feeling of winning the lottery, so he couldn't help but check it out quickly......

Xuan paper, a traditional Chinese classical paper for calligraphy and painting, is one of the traditional Chinese papermaking processes. Began in the Tang Dynasty, produced in Jing County, because the Tang Dynasty Jing County was under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou, so it was named Xuan paper.

Characteristics - easy to preserve, durable and not brittle, will not fade, has the reputation of "paper longevity for a thousand years".

Output - 500 artificial paper mills produce 3,000 stone of paper per month, which is equivalent to 6 stone paper per person per month.

……

"Oh!!" Seeing these introductions, Yuan Yao's mouth was surprised to form an "O".

There is nothing surprising about the other presentations, the main thing is the yield.

You must know that the output of the paper mill "Caihou Paper" was only 300 stones per month, but now it has become 3,000 stones when it becomes rice paper, which has increased tenfold.

This is not the increase in output from the upgrading of hardware equipment, but simply the value-added brought by technological progress.

Even if this output does not use human cloning to reduce costs, it is enough to directly hire workers to produce it.

One stone paper is equal to 120 Han jin, and 1 Han Jin paper can be cut into about 40 pieces of stationery.

In fact, because the text was monopolized in the hands of the family, they were the richest group of people in this era, so the general letters were used as the carrier of white silk in silk to show their identity.

A piece of white silk is worth 1400-1600 yuan, if it is cut into the size of a letter, it can be cut into 77 pieces, even if it is 80 pieces, the value is also calculated according to the maximum 1600 yuan, which is only equal to the amount of words contained in 2 catties of rice paper.

If the two are directly converted, it is that 1 catty of rice paper is equal to the value of half a horse of white silk, which is 800 yuan.

The paper mill produces 3,000 stones of rice paper per month; 360,000 catties; 180,000 pieces of white silk.

180,000 1,600 gold......

Of course, when the production of paper increases, it may not be appropriate to calculate the value of silk, but even if paper is reduced from the level of luxury goods to ordinary goods, it is enough to make a lot of money for the milleers.

The previous production of Caihou paper could not be mass-produced, but the current rice paper is enough to meet all the needs of a mature commodity.

In other words, Yuan Yao can now consider selling paper to make money, and he is still a monopoly industry, and the price is set by him.

Even if he hemorrhagically priced rice paper at 1 catty and 10 yuan, it was not worth mentioning compared with the 800 yuan of Bai Juan's half horse, and it was no longer the price of luxury goods at all.

But even so, the annual output value of a paper mill with 500 people is 43.2 million yuan, which is 2/3 of the poll tax in the entire Danyang County.

Now the salary of a private helper is 200~400 yuan a month per person. This is the price of the package diet; Excluding food and drink, 400~800 yuan per person per month.

500 labor money for a workshop, up to 400,000 yuan a month; 4.8 million money a year. It is almost a tenth of the value of the mill's output, and the cost of other raw materials is nothing more than bark straw......

It's a big deal!!

The more Yuan Yao calculated, the more saliva in his mouth, he couldn't understand why he chose to be a prince, and it was better to win a county with hard work than a paper mill to make money, and how easy it was to be a capitalist......

"The price of 1 pound of rice paper is 10 yuan, which is equal to 43.2 million yuan a year; 1 catty is priced at 20 yuan, which is equivalent to 86.4 million yuan a year; A price of 30 is equal to 129.6 million dollars...... Suck !! ”

Yuan Yao's eyes instantly became ($_$).

"Wait!"

Yuan Yao suddenly thought of a question, the construction of a paper mill in the origin of rice paper activated the manufacturing technology of "Xuan Paper", so will the construction of a porcelain kiln in the porcelain capital of later generations activate the porcelain firing technology?

It is important to know that the late Han dynasty ware mainly used precious metals, pottery or lacquerware, and the technology of porcelain had not yet been formed, or pottery had not yet evolved into porcelain.

In later generations, China was rich in porcelain and was named the porcelain capital, but several of them were in Jiangdong, and Yuan Yao could immediately think of Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, near Panyang County, Yuzhang County, where the representative porcelain was the famous blue and white porcelain;

There is also a Dehua County, Fujian, near Dongye County, Huiji County, which represents the porcelain of Jianbai porcelain known as "China White".

There are other Yuan Yao who can't think of for a while, or they don't match the current place name.

However, just firing blue and white porcelain and Jianbai porcelain in this era is enough for him to be stunned for a long time!

If the system is really set to build this type of production unit in the origin of the specialty to activate the technology, then Yuan Yao will be developed.

Yuan Yao seemed to see a large number of famous porcelain antiques placed in front of him......

Porcelain is a traditional Chinese specialty! Even the English name of China is derived from porcelain, which was one of the mainstream commodities in China during the Age of Discovery.

When it comes to Chinese specialties, you can't help but think of silk when you think of porcelain, and silk is more senior than porcelain in terms of special product status, because when silk was exported from the Silk Road to foreign countries, porcelain had not yet been born.

At present, only one of the four famous brocades in China was born, and the two famous brocades of the other three are also in Jiangdong, but they are still not born.

One is the Nanjing Yunjin brocade that was rich in Jiangning weaving in later generations; There is also a Suzhou Song Jin that is rich in weaving.

These two famous brocades are not yet visible, the Han Dynasty Shu brocade family dominated, if the origin of these two famous brocades also make a weaving bureau, and then pop out of the textile technology of Yun brocade and Song brocade, then the Maritime Silk Road is worthy of the name.

The most important thing is that silk is the only product of China, and silkworms are only available in China, and they have not yet flowed out of the country in the Han Dynasty.

"Suck !!" Yuan Yao's saliva couldn't be stopped......

And tea can not be forgotten, it is also one of the traditional Chinese specialties.

What Dongting Biluochun; West Lake Longjing; Maofeng of Huangshan Mountain; Anxi Tieguanyin; Wuyi rock tea seems to be in Jiangdong!

Tea also has a manufacturing process that needs to be activated, from boiling tea to steaming tea, and then to roasted tea, this production process has evolved in history for more than a thousand years, and now the end of the Han Dynasty is in the initial stage of boiling tea.

"Koto is really a treasure!"

As the saying goes, when books are used, Yuan Yao's biggest regret now is that there is not a lot of information about geography in the memory of later generations in his brain, otherwise he will definitely be able to find more treasures.

But despite this, Yuan Yao also found two local specialties in Danyang County, that is, Nanjing Yunjin in silk, and Huangshan Maofeng in tea, plus Jingxian rice paper, these three things are enough for him to digest for a while.
