"But the work of the paper workshop needs to be kept secret, so the person who enters the paper workshop must sign a contract with me and not tell anyone how the paper is made."

"My workshop is also in cooperation with His Royal Highness King Li, and leaking out the slightest bit is a big crime that is full of beheading. However, correspondingly, the salary will also rise to 60 yuan per day. ”

"I have to provide three meals a day for people from other villages, and their wages will be reduced to 52 yuan a day."

"If people from other villages are only provided with lunch, their wages will be reduced to 55 wen a day."

"The people in this village go home every day to eat and live, and the salary is only 60 yuan a day."

"But those who are already working in my workshop, don't envy the people in the paper workshop, you have also worked hard in the workshop during this time, and I will also give you a rise to sixty wen a day, so you can go back first."

The people who worked in the oil mill and the sugar mill were relieved at the same time and went back obediently.

Many people heard that the salary was 60 yuan a day, and everyone was very excited, which was 20 yuan a day more than the work in the field.

However, some people hesitated when they heard that if they accidentally said it, they would die.

If you drink alcohol and accidentally talk about it, won't it hurt your family?

One person asked: "Little proprietor, does it really have to be someone who has read books?" ”

Nangong Anshan said: "It doesn't have to be, if the person is very smart and can answer my questions, and the character can also be good, I can also make an exception for him to work in the paper workshop." ”

Many people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Nangong Anshan said: "Do you still have any questions?" If there is no problem, everyone will go to my door and wait for the registration, which is ready. ”

Many of those who met the criteria immediately ran over.

Although the people she was looking for this time were all from Nangong Anshan who had taken the pulse before, eliminating a link of checking the pulse, she needed to ask questions, so she didn't choose many people on the first day, and there were only fifty people in total.

So the selection lasted for a few more days, and on the fourth day, all the 200 people needed for the paper workshop were finally selected.

Therefore, for the next period of time, Nangong Anshan was preparing to make paper in the papermaking workshop, teaching others while doing.

According to the general method, it takes more than a year from preparation to finished product.

But she had a system, and she could get the easiest method, and she didn't need a lot of procedures, so on the tenth day, she finally made the paper.

Dugu Huanxu originally wanted to watch the paper be made, but he didn't expect it to take so much time, and he didn't have time to come over every day, but he came over a few times in the middle.

When I came over on the last day, I happened to see Nangong Anshan teaching the villagers how to cut paper.

After a while, Nangong Anshan took a large piece of paper and said with a smile: "The weather is good these days, and the paper is dried so quickly, this is rice paper, you can write on it." ”

After saying that, she took out the pen and ink she had prepared and began to write on it.

Soon, the words auspicious and wishful appeared on the paper.

The people in the workshop looked at Nangong Anshan with admiration on their faces at the same time.

At first, they only knew that it was a paper workshop, but they didn't know what paper was made of, but they didn't expect that it could be used for writing.

Most of them have read books, and they don't need Nangong Anshan to say that they know that compared with paper and bamboo slips, the benefits are really too much.

With paper, when readers go out in the future, they no longer have to carry dozens or even hundreds of catties of bamboo slips.

Dugu Huanxu took it and took a look, and saw that it was basically the same as the paper that Nangong Anshan gave him before, and said with a look of surprise: "Ah Shan, you are really amazing, with this paper, it can really bring great convenience to readers." ”

Nangong Anshan said with a smile: "Yes, with paper, it will be easier to make books in the future." ”

"Making books?"

"Yes, now the capital of the Qinglong Kingdom still writes books by hand, if you have paper, you will no longer have to write books by hand in the future, and every kind of book can be published quickly."

She was talking about movable type printing.

Now that paper is out, printing can be used.

She skipped block printing and went straight to movable type.

"Ah Shan, why don't I understand what you mean?"

"Haha, you'll know in a while, I still have some preparations to do, but I have one thing I want to ask you."

"You say."

Nangong Anshan said: "Ah Xu, I want to open a bookstore, I don't know if I can cooperate with you?" ”

She had movable type printing and paper in hand, and she could sell books later.

And she has unlocked pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in her space, so there is no need to worry about the source and quality of the goods.

The bookstore in the Qinglong Kingdom is not open by ordinary people, and only those approved by the government can open a bookstore.

After all, if the person who runs the bookstore has the mind to be disobedient, he writes all his thoughts into the book and spreads it.

"Bookstore?" Dugu Huanxu said: "You mean, you want to sell books and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the future?" ”

"That's right, after the paper comes out in the future, books made of paper will definitely be very popular, but the business of merchants who traditionally use bamboo slips to make books will definitely be greatly affected, and some will definitely make trouble for me, and I can only cooperate with you to avoid trouble, after all, no one dares to find trouble with His Royal Highness King Liwang and Prince Liwang."

"I see, it's okay to cooperate, or in the name of the prince of Liwang, you give him two percent, and he will give you shelter."

Nangong Anshan was immediately overjoyed, "Okay, I have one more thing I want to ask you, do your subordinates have anyone who can carve?" ”

Whether it is engraving printing or movable type printing, people who can engrave are needed to carve the words before they can be printed.

Dugu Huanxu thought for a while and said: "I don't have anyone who can carve, but I know a person who can carve, and that person was because he owed His Royal Highness King Liwang a favor, so he carved a batch of tokens for His Royal Highness King Liwang, but then we went to him, and he said that he wouldn't engrave anything." Even though King Liwang threatened to kill him, and the knife was already on his neck, he still didn't carve. ”

Nangong Anshan asked, "Then what does he live on?" ”

"It's still carving, although he doesn't do business with His Royal Highness King Liwang and us, but he will choose customers according to his mood and carve things."

"It seems that he is indeed a person with some ability, Ah Xu, do you have time tomorrow? If you have time, take me to him, I have the confidence to convince him to do things for me. ”

Dugu Huanxu said: "This ...... Recently, the war has been tight, I have to go to the border, why don't I call Feng Jing and you tomorrow, you also saw him last time. ”

Nangong Anshan nodded: "Yes, just let him go with me." ”
