Chapter Twenty-Four: Steady Progress in an Instant
In April, Huang Fu Song, the general of the left middle lang, Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, and Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry, led 40,000 troops to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County (now Yu County, Henan).
The Yellow Turban Army led by Bocai defeated Zhu Jun's army, and surrounded Huangfu Song's army in Changshe (now Changgedong, Henan).
Beizhonglang general Lu Zhi led the soldiers of the five schools of the Northern Army and the soldiers of the prefectures and counties to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei) led by Zhang Jiao. Lu Zhi led the army to break Zhang Jiao and beheaded more than 10,000 people.
Zhang Jiao retired to Guangzong (now east of Wei County, Hebei). Lu Zhi ordered the soldiers to dig trenches, build ladders, and besiege Guangzong. At this time, Emperor Ling sent the eunuch Zuo Feng to Jizhou to inspect, but Lu Zhi refused to bribe Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng returned to Beijing to falsely accuse Lu Zhi of ineffective fighting, and Emperor Ling was furious, and returned Lu Zhi to Beijing to punish the crime, and changed his order to Zhonglang to attack Dong Zhuo to attack Guangzong.
Regarding the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yang Xi never thought that the views in the history textbooks of later generations were correct, and the history books believed that it was a peasant uprising, but Yang Xi thought that it was just a religious revolution.
From the beginning to the end, the program of the Yellow Turban Army did not have any demands for the peasants to need land, they only had political demands, but the common people were very afraid of the Yellow Turbans.
In the Chenhe factory, Yang Xi was surrounded by people.
In front of me was a ten-meter-long table, and at the end of the table was a gate knife about one meter long.
Yang Sai shouted excitedly: "Please go under the knife!" ”
The crowd that was surrounded after the let was collectively shouted in unison: "Please open the knife!" ”
Yang Xi was also a little excited, and there were ten stacks of beige paper on the long table, one hundred sheets at a time, which was Yang Xi's rule.
Walking to the gate knife, Yang Xi rolled up his sleeves, Yang Sai had already pushed a stack of paper over, Yang Xi took a deep breath, saw that the raw edges of the paper were leaking outside, and suddenly held the handle of the gate knife and pressed down.
"Wow!"
After the same action four times, a hundred square pieces of paper were made, Yang Xi saved some saliva and rubbed out one, feeling extremely satisfied.
After so many sets of processes, this is much more delicate than Cai Lun paper, which has been compared with the rice paper of later generations, and the paper of tender bamboo is even more powerful. The raw materials of rice paper are mainly due to the bark and straw of the sandalwood tree, and when Yang Xi finds the origin of the sandalwood tree, he will build a paper mill at that time.
Yang Xi laughed and said, "Okay! It's done! That's what I want, come, everyone applauds yourselves. ”
The lively scene lasted all day.
The workers are very motivated.
After Yang Xi gave everyone a lot of chicken blood, he went to prepare another thing.
Put a piece of paper with a length, width and height of one meter on the table, Yang Xi snickered a little.
"Finally, I don't have to shave my ass with a piece of bamboo, I'll pull it and slowly go back to living a normal life." Yang Xi's first thought was to wipe his butt with paper. At this time, the emperor used cloth, and the common people used bamboo sticks or wooden sticks, and one end was wrapped in cloth, which was considered a handle, Yang Xi couldn't stand this way, and every time he went to the toilet, he had to rush to the river and swim dozens of back and forth.
With paper, there will be a pen, Yang Xi wanted to popularize the hard pen, so he ordered someone to make a pen early.
This is very simple, first make a small wooden pen head, the pen head is hollow, there is a small hole in front of the nib, the hole is passed through with twine, the short head is exposed outside, fixed, and the ink is stored behind it, it is a hollow wooden pipe, and the wooden pipe is connected with the pen head, and it becomes a water pen.
This kind of pen can even be disassembled into two ends and then filled with ink.
Yang Xi specially arranged workers for production, but this ink pen was used as a gift when selling paper in the future.
Yang Xi tried it, and the writing was quite satisfactory.
He thought for a while and began to write, and two hours later, a piece of paper full of small characters one meter square appeared in Yang Xi's hand.
A few minutes later, Yang Xi appeared and talked to Yang Xi.
Three days later, in the morning, when the personnel of the entire Chenhe factory were concentrated in the factory, Yang Xi appeared in person.
"In today's morning class, we don't study, we only do one thing, exam! Yang Xi, send all the test papers! ”
Yang Xi sent more than 100 pieces of paper, one for each person. In the end, Yang Xi transferred Cai Kao's guard battalion out of the factory and went outside to answer questions.
According to the book A Brief History of Mankind, all human groups, reaching more than 150 people, can no longer be simply managed by human sociality, but need a set of systems, a set of systems for various advance and retreat management.
For example, a company with less than 150 employees can run a family business very well, but beyond this size, it can easily die.
Yang Xi has to pass the examination to choose the management of each department, and in the future, it will become an assessment.
The rules of the exam, Yang Xi talked while handing out the test papers, and by the way, he also sent a pen, which is a personal item.
Some people find it novel, some people are nervous, they don't know it, and this is related to their status in the group in the future. Of course, they never thought that they would have the opportunity to become a big man. In fact, the incident of meeting Yang Xi itself is an opportunity for them to become a party figure in the future.
An hour later, the test paper was put away.
A day later, the test results appeared on Yang Xi's desk.
Another list also appeared on Yang Xi's desk, Yang Xi sighed, there are not many geniuses to learn this thing, it still depends on the time, and if you come early, it is really different.
Head of Winemaking Department: Tian Qi. Head of Spindle Department: Guanxi. Head of Paper Department: Yang Di. Head of Printing Department, Yang Xi. Carpentry Department Supervisor: Second Master. Head of Blacksmith Department: Niu Han. Personnel, internal relations, and logistics are unified into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with Yang Shao in charge and assisted by Yang Sai Yang Huan. Head of Teaching Department: Guan Tian.
"Dong Cai, the director of the public relations department, is the most suitable, but it's a pity that he wants to develop on his own!"
Yang Xi felt that his team had no foreign affairs talents, except for himself, after all, these people had no knowledge before, and because of their background, they had no self-confidence, and they still lacked comprehensive ability to connect with the outside.
Talent can't be forced, but among them, there must be many people who will grow. As for the group leader level below the supervisor, Yang Xi also wrote thirteen in one go, all of which were outstanding in the study during this time, and the exam results were also good.
Yang Xi posted this list at the door of the factory, which immediately caused an uproar, and it turned out to be such a situation. There are those who steal joy, there are helpless people, and there are regretful people.
Some of the people on the list immediately felt that life was so delicate and full of pride, and they became leaders at once.
At the same time, Yang Xi announced the rules for promotion, which are composed of three parts: usual performance scores, business performance, and professional skills assessment. In this way, it is equivalent to a dose of chicken blood injection all of a sudden.
Regarding printing, Yang Xi's first book, named Chenhe Dictionary, selected 2,000 commonly used words, all of which were simplified versions, copied by Yang Xi himself, and had pinyin and paraphrasing, and the ancient characters were compared with Chenhe characters. In this way, this dictionary will be understandable to today's scholars.
However, the thickness of this dictionary really made Yang Xi a little speechless. He had tried his best to enlarge the paper of the book, which was still one-third larger than the A4 paper of later generations, but still four centimeters thick, and finally had to be turned into two volumes. The feet are bound with hemp rope.
Everything is ready, Yang Xi called Dong Cai and Luo Lan, these two Yang Xi are on call now, they now know that when Yang Xi calls, there will be good things.
Roland had already tasted a few surprises, and just two months ago, Qu Yuan Plough had brought him a great surprise.
When the two of them saw Yang Xi's paper, they were stunned, this thing was transformed by the world-famous Cai Hou, but it couldn't compare to Yang Xi's paper at this time.
Yang Xi asked Roland about the current market price of paper.
"At present, although the price of paper has been reduced a lot, it is only affordable for Maison. A knife of paper is 90 sheets, not as big as Brother Chenhe, and the price is about 500 yuan a knife. Roland gave his own understanding.
Of course, Yang Xi knows that this paper is produced more in Changsha County and Leiyang, because it is Cai Lun's hometown, and when it is transported here, the freight has gone to dozens of dollars, and it is estimated that it is only 400 yuan a knife.
Stone knife paper for a slave, or an acre of fertile land, you can imagine what kind of concept this is.
The villagers can't even touch their buttocks, they can't even touch it.
"My paper is a hundred pieces, and it is larger than the current paper, and more importantly, it is more delicate and white, but the market price, I only set two hundred dollars. The price given to you is 100 yuan, do you have the strength to let it go out of Exian County and go to the whole Jiangxia, or even the whole Jingzhou? ”
Yang Xi across the country didn't dare to think that transportation was too difficult.
"Tear!" Dong Cai's heart was pounding, and even Roland gasped.
"You dare to sell at this price, even if it is an ordinary small landlord's family, it can afford it, but the price of two hundred yuan is the price of two stone of grain. How much do you produce in a day? ”
"At present, it is in full production, and it can reach fifty dollars a day, but in two months, it may be how much you can sell, and how much I can produce!"
"Fifty knives!"
Dong Cai is calculating, he has a gross profit of 100 for one knife, and a gross profit of 1,000 yuan for ten knives, that is to say, he can earn one or two silver for ten knives of paper a day.
It's very cost-effective to go all out to do this, even if it takes some time to ship it to other places. Roland was also calculating at this time that as long as this paper appeared in any city, there would be basically no market for other types of paper.
Yang Xi gave the two of them three days to think about it, and let them think of a feasible plan, but this time if there is no effective plan, they don't make some venture capital, but he doesn't plan to let them do this project.
At the same time, in a mansion somewhere in Exian County, a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eighteen was looking at the wine in the wine bottle. There is a delicate wooden box next to it, and the wooden box is engraved with several big characters of Chenhe Liquor.
This person is the biggest overlord of Exian County, Huang Ping, the branch of Huang County.
"Sir! Do you want to go to the second lady to ask for an altar, this is the last altar, with the amount of wine you have, it will be gone for a day or two. ”
This Huang Ping ignored the housekeeper, and just diverted the topic and said, "Have you inquired clearly?" ”
"The little one has inquired clearly, this wine comes from Mashan Township, is the son of an ordinary farmer, it is said that he has been given the book of heaven by the patriarch of Sanfeng, but he can make some novel things, this wine is created by him."
"Humph! thought that if he got a Sanfeng patriarch, he would be able to avoid the innocence of the husband and the truth of his guilt. With such a miracle brew, how can the technology be in the hands of a yellow-mouthed child. Uncle Wang, you bring a few people and bring this person to me! ”
"Yes!"
