Chapter 110: The First Printed Books

"How? How is the paper selling in the past two days? ”

On the second day, Xiao Zhengtai took people to the workshop, and then came to the paper workshop.

Seeing Xiao Zhengtai enter the door, Zhang Liang hurriedly put down the work in his hand and went to greet Xiao Zhengtai, "Back to Xiao Gongzi, the paper mill business is as hot as ever, and now we have added ten more long-term workers, working around the clock, which can barely complete the order!" ”

"Ordinary people might buy paper?"

"Yes, the purchase restriction policy adopted by the little boy is very useful, even those nobles can't stock up, and the paper mill is producing in large quantities, so it's useless to stock up!"

"Hmm!"

Xiao Zhengtai walked around the paper mill and nodded.

"Huang Yuan can be here?"

"In! It's right in the backyard ......! ”

Zhang Liang respectfully led the way in front, "The printing technique has been successfully developed, and Huang Yuan is staring at those craftsmen printing books in the backyard!" ”

This was the first batch of books to be printed after the development of printing, and Huang Yuan came over early in the morning to stare at it.

"Good!"

Xiao Zhengtai followed behind, and no one could see that this was the real boss of the paper mill.

Some of the new long-term workers even thought he was Zhang Liang's son, and secretly asked the craftsmen around him, "That is the son of our shopkeeper, right?" The long eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and we really look a little like the shopkeeper, and it is estimated that the lady of the shopkeeper is also very beautiful, right? ”

"Shhhh

The long-term worker next to him has been working here since the opening of the paper mill, so he is very familiar with Xiao Zhengtai, and quickly covered his mouth.

"What? This is the little boy? ”

Looking at the little cute baby with red lips and white teeth, the new long-term worker almost dropped his jaw in shock, and even the movements of his hands stagnated.

I heard that this is the little boy who is managing, but I didn't expect it to be so small and so cute!

"That's right!"

The elder nodded firmly.

In fact, when he first met Xiao Gongzi, he reacted similarly to him, he never thought that a milk doll could manage such a large bookstore!

They still pee and play with mud when they're so old!

"Little boy, Huang Yuan is there!"

In the shock of the new craftsmen, Zhang Liang took Xiao Zhengtai to the printing workshop.

This is also according to Xiao Zhengtai's request, all the workshops are named, and the paper mill is also divided into departments!

Sales Department, Finance and Accounting Department, Marketing Department and so on!

At first, they were a little unaccustomed to it, but fortunately, they were young and adaptable, and it didn't take long for them to adapt!

Xiao Zhengtai is not tall, but fortunately, Huang Yuan is in charge of supervision, and he is not standing in the crowd, otherwise it is really difficult to find!

"Little boy!"

Huang Yuan first discovered Zhang Liang, and then discovered Xiao Zhengtai from Zhang Liang's attitude.

In the entire paper mill, Zhang Liang is the shopkeeper, in charge of the operation of the entire paper mill, and he is arrogant, even if it is an ordinary noble, he does not pay attention to it, but he is respectful to the little son.

"Well, I heard that printing has been developed!"

Komasita nodded and walked towards the craftsmen.

A group of craftsmen are concentrating on their work, and each piece of cement is carefully searched, for fear of making mistakes!

Books are not like other things, and a misprinted word is equivalent to misleading people's children!

"Look, little boy, the first page of the book has been printed!"

Huang Yuan said with a little excitement pointing to a stack of paper with words next to him.

Xiao Zhengtai jumped on the table at once, picked up one and looked at it carefully.

The handwriting is clear and accurate, and the spacing of each word is just right!

"Well, that's good!" Xiao Zhengtai nodded with satisfaction.

"Since this is the first printing, I plan to print 100 copies this time, and then print a large number of copies after success!"

"It's okay, there is no paper left to spare now, and in the future, the paper mill will be expanded and a large number of books will be printed!"

The paper mill is now producing just enough to sell, which is still under the policy of purchase restrictions, if there is no purchase limit, I am afraid there is really no extra paper to print.

"Expansion? The little boy wants to expand the paper mill? ”

Huang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

If the paper mill is expanded, there will be more paper to print books in the future, which is a good thing for the people.

"That's right, the vacant land behind the paper mill has been bought, and you can expand it on that vacant land when you turn around, and then this important task will be handed over to you!"

Xiao Zhengtai stood on the table, like an adult, and patted Huang Yuan's shoulder.

"Okay, the little boy can rest assured, we will be the supervisor is built by the palace room, and it is easy to build a workshop!"

Huang Yuan looked excited, and agreed to come down in one bite.

"Don't be too happy yet, the workshop that this boy wants to build this time is different from before!"

"What's the difference?"

Huang Yuan was stunned.

They can even build such a big project as Afang Palace, what else can stump them?

"The main body of the house that this son wants to build this time is cement, which is windproof and rainproof, and very strong, and it will not break for many years!"

Xiao Zhengtai grinned.

"Cement?"

Obviously, Huang Yuan is very unfamiliar with this word.

Because in this era, wood and yellow mud were commonly used to build houses, and only the royal family and nobles had the money to buy green bricks.

The bond between the green bricks and the green bricks is lime mortar or glutinous rice mortar and rammed earth.

By mixing lime with sand and water, you can build bricks one by one, but this method does not make up tall buildings and is difficult to stand in a humid environment.

Glutinous rice mortar is a mixture of glutinous rice and lime paste, which has a good adhesive strength, but it is not as good as cement.

Rammed earth was also widely used in this era, and that was also in the absence of a choice.

If you let them see the cement, make sure they immediately abandon the ones in front of them!

Cement is widely used, not only to build houses, but also to build roads.

If the road built by the first emperor is replaced with cement, it will be similar to the current highway!

Since the big brother of the system gave cement, it can't be wasted, it has to be utilized!

"That's right, I'll hand over the materials and manufacturing methods needed to make cement to you later, and you can take someone to develop it, go back and expand the paper mill, and renovate the wine mill to rely on it!"

The location of the winery is very large, but some of the houses are already in a dilapidated state and have to be renovated before they can be used.

"Good!"

Huang Yuan immediately responded.

As a general prisoner, he has an extremely strong interest in these new things, so when he heard that he was going to study cement, both eyes were shining.

"Little boy, there are a hundred pages in this batch of books, I don't know how much it costs?"

Seeing that the two had finished talking about business, Zhang Liang opened his mouth to ask.

"Two articles on paper, one hundred pages is two hundred words, plus manual ...... Let's sell it for 240 wen! ”

Xiao Zhengtai thought about it for a while and set the price.

Books will also be a must-have for the people in the future, so he is ready to take the route of small profits and quick turnover, and only add a little profit to the price of paper!
