Return to Zhangjiazhuang and settle down. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Jianghe went to Zhang Kai to ask him about the purchase of sheepskins, and when he entered Zhang Kai's yard, he found that it was very lively. There was a person who looked a little like Zhang Kai, who was standing in the garden chatting with Zhang Kai's son Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan said to the man: "Second uncle, this is Mr. Jiang." ”

It turned out that this person was Zhang Kai's second brother Zhang Jie, and Jiang Hexing lived in his yard some time ago.

Zhang Jie walked quickly in front of Jiang Hexing, and said with a deep salute: "Zhang Jie has seen Mr. Jiang, the little nephew Yuan Ermeng rescued him, and his brother's family Mr. Meng has patronized him a lot, and he has thanked him." ”

"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome, in fact, I should be thanked. When I first came, I was penniless, if it weren't for Brother Zhang Kai's family to take care of me, I'm afraid I don't know where I would be now. ”

"Second brother, Mr. Jiang, you people are just trouble, you are your own brothers, thank you for coming and going, and the polite ones have become outsiders." Zhang Kai walked out of the house, and said as he walked, "Today we have a good drink, and we also talk to Zhang Jie, if you have anything to say, you can talk about it at the wine table." ”

The three of them laughed, and Jiang Hexing and Zhang Jieshou entered the house hand in hand.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Jie asked, "Mr. Jiang, listen to my eldest brother, you want to buy sheepskins." For this reason, the eldest brother specially asked someone to call me back. I don't know how much Mr. needs, so I'm prepared. ”

"It hasn't started yet, and it is estimated that it will take a while for sales to open, and everyone will have to adapt to new things, and it is estimated that it will take about half a year, and the demand will be large. In the beginning, I planned to buy about 1,000 copies and try the results. I estimate that the demand in the future will be very large, as for how big, it is difficult to say now. I think at least tens of thousands of sheepskins a year are needed. But in half a month, I plan to start production, I don't know if the second brother can buy enough 1,000 copies during this time. ”

Listening to Jiang Hexing's serious answer, Zhang Jie had a bottom in his heart, it seems that Jiang Hexing is not a person who talks big words, and he will specialize in buying sheepskins in the future, and this business is also terrible. However, the first cooperation is still to be beautiful, and there will be big cooperation in the future.

Thinking of this, he had a plan in his heart, so he asked: "Mr. Jiang, now that the sheepskin is purchased for 120 yuan a piece, I don't know what price Mr. Zhang's factory plans to buy in large quantities." ”

"The purchase price is 120 yuan, I will pay 150 yuan here, I am a quarter higher than your purchase price, what do you think?"

"It doesn't seem to be very profitable, but this is a turnover business, and what you want is the turnover speed. A sheepskin with a net profit of 10 dollars is good business. I took over the business. ”

After all, Zhang Kai has never done any business, and he is confused, on the one hand, he is his younger brother, and on the other hand, he is a friend and partner. He didn't know who would lose at this price.

Jiang Hexing looked at Zhang Kai and roughly knew what you were worried about: "Big brother, you take care of the purchase, just care about whether the sheepskin is good or not, no matter the price, don't say 150 yuan, it is 120 yuan for us to buy, they can also make money, don't worry about them." I put this price mainly for the sake of selling sheepskins. You'll understand after a long time."

Zhang Kai became more and more confused, and Zhang Jie looked at Jiang Hexing as if he had met a confidant, "Mr. Jiang, have you done these businesses before, why are you so clear." Those who know me, Mr. Jiang also. ”

The wine and food were very happy, and Jiang Hexing confirmed that Zhang Jie was the right person. He took 5 catties of gold as a deposit and handed it to Zhang Jie, and the remaining 10 gold was paid off after the sheepskin was transported to the correct place.

The winter wheat was completely planted, and Zheng San came to the paper mill to report on the work, which was the second time Zheng San had been here, and it happened to be the day when the first batch of test paper was ready. On the table of the river row, there are several pieces of earthy yellow paper, cut into neat rectangles and stacked together.

"Zheng San, look at it, how is this handwriting, how is it about making books?"

"It's great to make books, but it doesn't look cheap, and most people can't afford to use them."

"With insight, a sheepskin can make four sheets of paper {A4 size}, and if a piece of paper is not sold for 150 yuan, it is not cost-effective. Zheng San, among your group of people, are there still people who can read and hyphenate? ”

"There are a lot of them, a few of them are quite good, and the family was also good in the past, but this time the disaster was the same, and the home was also robbed, so we can only flee like us."

"Oh, you find a few suitable ones for me to know, and then pick an older, more prestigious one, and watch over the field. You will be on the paper mill side in the future, first get familiar with it, and then you will take care of it. Our work is dirty and tiring, and the place where the workers live cannot be too bad. I'll leave it all to you, take care of it. ”

Zheng San nodded yes, but looked at Jiang Hexing hesitantly, and stopped talking a little.

Jiang Hexing asked: "Zheng San, if there is anything to say directly, I will definitely help you if I can help." ”

Zheng San talked about the family members who came together, many of them were scattered because of the bandits they encountered on the road, and they were never found again, and now that he has settled down, he wants his second son to take people to look for them on the way. Jiang Hexing agreed, and gave them enough money to let them look for it with peace of mind.

Jiang Hexing arranged Zheng San, took 10 pieces of paper, and rushed to the county to find Liu County's order.

Liu Xianling took the paper and looked at it, turned his head and asked, "What is the use of this thing?" ”

"If you write on both sides of this and make it into a book, I'm afraid it's not easy to learn five cars, hehe." Jiang Hexing teased Liu County, "I'm afraid that in the future, I will be a knife and pen officer, and there will be no place to go under the knife, let's do this big thing together, what do you think?" ”

"Haha, I'm afraid that they can't be caught with nowhere to go under the knife, they are afraid that the pen is as sharp as a knife." As he spoke, he wrote on parchment, the size of which was like a fly's head, but what he wrote seemed to be in official script.

After writing it, Liu Xianling looked at the parchment and felt that the effect was good. Turning his head and asking Jiang Hexing: "Sir, I'm afraid that I'm here not just to let me see this paper." As soon as this thing comes out, it will benefit the world. Sir, do you want to enter the imperial court? ”

What kind of person is this, everything good has to be presented to the court. Jiang Hexing said: "I want to do this business and sell paper to make a living in the future." How many people will benefit from the spread of this thing. It's just the first step in promotion, and it's a bit difficult. I think Liu County ordered the promotion of stone grinding for the benefit of people. Paper promotion is 100 times that of stone mill promotion, thinking that this is a matter for the benefit of the people of the world, Liu County Ling refuses to be listed behind the people. ”

"Stone grinding is a good thing, but there are still people who are only willing to eat wheat rice and don't want to eat pasta, and it seems that promotion also takes a process. How do you promote this paper? ”

"This is very simple, the county order only needs to use money to buy some, and in the future, you can use this paper to write letters to Taishou or other colleagues, and you can use this paper for the recital to the imperial court."

"How much does it cost?"

"150 dollars for a piece of paper. The first buyer can get a discount of 120 yuan. ”

When Liu Xianling heard this, his hands trembled. "This is too expensive, how to use the civilian home, the average family earns 10,000 yuan a year is a good harvest. In the entire Dai County, it is estimated that there are less than 100 people who use your paper. ”

"My goal is not for the common people, it would be good for the rich to use it first, at least everyone will avoid the pain of bamboo slips."

Liu Xianling found that Jiang Hexing was about to become a profiteer, and he said so many big things about benefiting the people, and the goal was only to make money. Originally, he also wanted to benefit the people again and help his friends from this "republic", but he didn't expect this kid to get into the eyes of money so quickly, and it seems that he didn't know anything about the saint's teachings. Also, in the first year of the republic, Confucius didn't have it, so it's no wonder that he was full of profiteers. But after all, the people in front of him had helped him a lot, and he thought about it for a long time, and he also came up with an idea for Jiang Hexing. Liu Xianling suggested that Jiang Hexing find someone to write a book on paper and strive to send it to Chang'an, where it was used.

Although Liu County's idea is good, it can't be achieved all at once. Jiang Hexing had no choice but to go back first.

The weather is a little cold, the grass and trees are bleak, and they are yellow. Jiang Hexing has been here for more than two months, and he always feels that there is something missing. In the past few days, I have been training those refugees, and the process is very simple, but it is difficult for them to accept this, and Jiang Hexing, who is lecturing, almost jumped up and beat people. Everyone only learns a little bit, it's just their own process. There are also people who actually saw slaked lime used as flour and almost had an accident. Zheng San is not bad, just a little understanding, but it is also very good, after all, the time is still short. It turned out that I was worried that this technology would be stolen by outsiders, and it seemed that I was not a professional, let alone stealing, and it would take half a day to explain. The hydrated lime was burned in the mountains by himself, and everyone didn't understand this thing alone. Hey, maybe it's a gap between the times.

After these two days of leisure, I feel that I am busy and busy, and I don't even have a nest of my own, which is quite unpleasant. Now I still have so much money in my hand, and the house can't be built this year, so let's live in the factory first. It seems that the money must always be flowing, otherwise it will be a huge waste to put it there. It depends on people to do things, but what about people?

"Zheng San! Zheng San! ”

Hearing Jiang Hexing call him, he ran over like a fly, "The person I asked you to find, I forgot about it in the past two days, and you kid didn't say a word." Jiang Hexing asked.

Seeing Jiang Hexing's pale face, Zheng San beat a drum in his heart and said: "The person is found, as soon as you come back from the county seat, let you learn parchment every day." I thought you were going to let us meet with them after we were done. In addition, find a few more who can spin and weave, and I want to arrange things. ”

His factory is located in the middle of Zhangjiazhuang and his field, and the distance is basically about 1,000 meters each. In about an hour, everyone arrived. Six males and five females. The men all had short hair, and the women wore headscarves. I look good, at least I've been able to eat enough recently, and I'm refreshed one by one.

When they saw Jiang Hexing, they all knelt down, and Jiang Hexing hurriedly stopped them, and time was delayed for these etiquettes. Seeing that Jiang Hexing didn't let everyone kneel, they lowered their heads one by one, and several women still rubbed their clothes, it seems that Zheng Sanxuan's elite is a little unsuitable for his own requirements.

He let a few women into the house, took out his canvas bags, and the jeans he had worn before, and let everyone look at them first. After explaining himself, he came out, so as not to make others uncomfortable.

Zheng San introduced the person he recommended one by one, the oldest one looked about the same as Zheng San, although he had short hair, he had already seen a lot of white hair, his name was He Ming. Looks like a simple person.,It's said to be a veteran of farming.。 Jiang Hexing asked him a few words, and found that he was a good person, and there was absolutely no problem in managing the stall in the field.

There is also a slightly smaller one, wearing women's clothes, named Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang is a teacher, has an excellent temper, and can write a good hand.

There are two brothers together, called Lu Xin and Lu Yi respectively. In the end, there are two young people in their 20s, one is named Li Xiaoquan and the other is Ma Biao. Li Xiaoquan is very strong, although he was not hungry in the early stage, it seems that he has almost recovered, and he is called Li Xiaoquan. Li Xiaoquan is said to have great strength, and the amount of food is also very large, and he couldn't eat enough when he was at home before, this person is not only literate in reading, but also can ride horses and shoot arrows. Ma Biao is also a tall and strong man with a dark complexion.

Jiang Hexing temporarily arranged for Zhao Guang to be a clerk in the factory and was responsible for transcribing the records. Lu Xin and Lu Yi are both scholars, so they will go back to teach the children to read and write first, and then go back and make unified arrangements.

In the end, Jiang Hexing looked at Li Xiaoquan with a smile: "I heard that you can't eat enough, can you eat enough now?" Li Xiaoquan looked at Zheng San uneasily, and said in a panic: "Eat enough, eat enough." Jiang Hexing knew that he must not have eaten much, after all, the food is distributed according to normal people, and there is a kind of person who can eat the amount of a few people, even if Zheng San takes care of it, he can't eat enough.

"Li Xiaoquan, Ma Biao, you are the security guards in the factory, you take turns patrolling the night at night, optimistic about the safety of the factory, and double the distribution of food."

Li Xiaoquan was so happy that he just wanted to jump, and when he saw Zheng San glaring at him, he honestly listened to the arrangement. Ma Biao just nodded.
