Chapter 1032: Paper Mill
The weather is getting colder, and the people in the north cover a layer of wheat straw on a few important wheat seedling fields, and everyone begins to be idle.
Zhao Hanzhang issued a service order at this time, considering that this year's war had just ended, she did not issue a heavy service order, and only let each family serve for 15 days.
Or through ditches, or leveling official roads, or repairing roads and houses in their villages, and if there are no adult males in the house, the women serve half labor, and she asks the states and counties to make careful arrangements so as not to waste people's labor.
The decree was sent not only to the counties and counties, but also to the county schools, requiring each school to assist the counties in doing a good job in propaganda work, and at the same time to help the counties manage the service officers.
In fact, there is also the meaning of supervision.
The county magistrates are not stupid, knowing that Zhao Hanzhang is preventing them from deducting and misappropriating the food and wages of the servants.
Yes, the current service is a little different from before, the county government pays for the food, and will also give a certain salary.
Although the salary is very small, it still feels different.
In the past, they had no wages for service, and in some places they didn't even have food, so they needed to bring their own food to serve.
Zhao Hanzhang has always trusted the students in the school more, and those students have lived up to Zhao Hanzhang's trust, full of enthusiasm, not only those orphans and children from poor families, but also the children of the scholar clan who later entered the school.
And Zhao Hanzhang also opened a channel for exchanges between the county schools and Taixue, and the students can not only write letters to communicate with the students and teachers in Taixue, ask questions, but also listen to the heavens through Taixue.
Oh, it's to sue Zhao Hanzhang, such as the county order of the county to be corrupt and bribery, harsh government and the people, and so on.
I heard that last month, the county magistrates in two counties had embezzled relief food from the imperial court, causing double digits of starvation in the prefectures, so some students wrote to Taixue.
After receiving the letter, the students of Taixue immediately handed it over to the Yushitai and passed it all the way to Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang immediately ordered Yushi to go to the two counties to verify, and sure enough, there was something cruel, so the county orders of the two counties were changed, not only that, but the county orders of the two counties were copied, and the two were imprisoned and sent to Luoyang for trial.
I don't know if I'll be beheaded.
According to the law of Jin, corruption will not be killed, at most the official will not be done, but ...... They caused bad results, Zhao Hanzhang has always loved his name, and this is the first corruption case after the end of the war, and officials with a little insight feel that the two counties are more auspicious.
Zhao Hanzhang is likely to make an example of the monkey.
This is not to blame Zhao Hanzhang, blame those two people for being too stupid, even if they want to be greedy, they will wait for a while, now is the time to wait for a hundred wastes and collect the government, Zhao Hanzhang is waiting for Liwei, these two people have been sent to him, how could she miss it?
Those two counties, one in Yanzhou and the other in Yuzhou, the reason why everyone knows so quickly and so clearly is because of the large number of Di newspapers in the whole country, oh no, except for Jiangdong and Jiangnan.
The so-called Di Bao was available in the Han Dynasty, but it was very rare, that is, the officials of each county who stayed in the capital copied down the edicts, edicts, speeches of the ministers, and some major events that happened in the court during a period of time, and then sent people back to the county.
It is usually a half-monthly period, but if there is a particularly important event in the court, it may be tighter, and it will be sent once every three or four days.
In this way, the southern officials can know what is happening in the north, and the northern officials can also understand the situation in the south, and the capital is equivalent to a political news distribution center.
Of course, this thing was only able to get up in the Taiping years, before Zhao Hanzhang restarted the Di Bao, the Dajin Dynasty had stopped the large-scale Di Bao for more than 20 years, and only some of the more powerful Thorn Shi County Shou and others would send people to stay in the capital to collect this information and send it back.
Zhao Hanzhang used to read Zhao Zhongyu's newspaper, every time he received the newspaper, he would ask someone to copy a copy of it and send it to her, and he would add a lot of things that were not in the newspaper.
When Zhao Hanzhang made the newspaper herself, she didn't do it.
Because the craftsmen of the paper mill are very good, after several years of exploration and experimentation, they can not only make good paper from book covers, but also mix wheat straw, straw and other grasses and various things to make good paper.
The cost of this paper has become cheaper, and the paper mill has expanded, producing a large amount of paper every day.
With paper, and the movable type printing technology in the bookstore is becoming more and more mature, Zhao Hanzhang can expand the newspaper.
She handed over the matter of the newspaper to Taixue and the bookstore, and set up a newspaper office in Taixue, with Taixue students holding positions inside.
She asked them to publish a newspaper every two days, which would not only contain edicts, edicts, and major events that happened in the court within two days, but also some officials' views and suggestions on some political affairs, and even good articles and poems could also be placed in the newspaper.
This kind of newspaper is not only for the magistrates of each county and county, but also for the county schools, and the students in the school get the newspaper for free, but they also have the obligation, and their obligation is to read the edicts and edicts on the newspaper for the people of the county, as well as some important measures of the imperial court that are related to their vital interests.
At the same time, Di Bao also accepts contributions from officials and celebrities from all over the country.
Of course, it is not a celebrity or a celebrity, as long as there is something to be said, Zhao Hanzhang is allowed to print, oh, because the cultural level required by the Di newspaper is very high, so the director of the Di newspaper is Zhao Cheng.
He also did the review thing, and Zhao Hanzhang took a look at it occasionally.
After the capital makes a dibao, it will be sent to the states through the post station, and from the state to the county, and each county will publish the same dibao and send it down.
However, now Zhao Hanzhang's bookstore and paper mill have only opened eight, and some counties do not have one, so they can only buy them from other states and counties nearby.
There is not much money to buy Di Bao, mainly because of the high cost of transportation, so there is no bookstore in Youzhou Thorn Shi Shile, and there are few bookstores in Bingzhou Thorn Shi Beigong Chun have written one after another, asking the imperial court to open more bookstores and paper mills here for them.
Zhao Hanzhang agreed, and ordered each state and county to find land to build bookstores and paper mills, as well as find craftsmen, and she came to give the drawings.
At present, the bookstores and paper mills in various places are built in imitation of the bookstores and paper mills in Xiping, and the bookstores and paper mills in Xiping are also the most advanced, and they have been expanded three times now, and the paper mills have already formed a scale, which can produce more than 50,000 pieces of paper per day, and reach 90,000 pieces at most.
Of course, it's a large piece of paper, which can be cut, into the books we now print, and can be cut out of sixteen sheets.
Don't look at the current production capacity, in fact, the paper is still not enough.
Not to mention anything else, the daily office paper of the imperial court is a large consumption.
Collecting displaced people, making registers, registering households, and recording all kinds of information all require a lot of paper.
