Xiang Yan personally went out to greet Qin Ming and introduced him to his home.

"I said I was going to look for you to drink, and I didn't find time when I came back for so many days, just when you came today, I don't think we have to go out, the best wine in the capital is not in the palace at my house, let's have a drink at home today!"

"Good!" Qin Ming replied boldly, but Xiang Yan looked at him as if he had something on his mind.

I saw him carrying the first issue of the newspaper he had issued.

Then he asked:

"What's wrong with brother? Seeing that you want to talk and stop, if you have anything to say, just ask directly, what else is there to say about our brothers? ”

Qin Ming was a little embarrassed, he wanted to stop talking, stopped wanting to talk again, and he pulled with himself for a long time, and finally asked.

"Xiang Yan, what you wrote in the entertainment section of the newspaper that the fourth princess likes to eat lychees, is it true?"

Xiang Yan was a little strange:

"Why are you asking this?"

"She eats whatever she likes."

"However, I got this information from Princess Yuanhua, the source is absolutely reliable, don't worry, can I talk nonsense about things that I can't get accurate, or talk nonsense to the whole world?"

After receiving Xiang Yan's affirmative reply, Qin Ming became very happy.

I didn't drink anymore, and I didn't want to delay for a moment.

It made Xiang Yan very inexplicable.

Xiang Yuyue smiled on the side: "Idiot." ”

I don't know if I'm talking about Qin Ming or Xiang Yan.

Workers at Xiang's Paper Workshop worked overtime all day, and finally on the third day of publication, the supply of newspapers was restored.

Sales were even better on the third day, and five times the print run was still sold out.

When Liu Yan came to report the situation at dusk that day, Xiang Yan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"No, we have to increase the investment of production personnel."

Xiang Yan looked at Liu Yan.

"Brother Xiang, send the people in your fishing boat who have been fine for the past two days to the workshop to help, and I will give you three times the overtime pay!"

Liu Yan stepped back.

And it was in this gap that the newspaper was already sold out.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Zhao Rui, came to the door again.

The two of them are already very familiar, and there is no need to engage in those twists and turns, so Zhao Rui said straight to the point.

"The assassin of Henan Province came to me, saying that he wanted to order our newspaper, and the amount was very large, not only to show all the yamen personnel, but also to use our newspaper to carry out some folk education and propaganda, do you think this matter can be agreed?"

Xiang Yan thought about it and felt that he couldn't make up his mind about this matter.

"At the beginning, His Majesty meant to carry out a pilot project in the Luoyang area first, and then distribute it nationwide when there is no problem, and now it is only the third day, in addition to the popularity, how can I see what other impact there will be."

Hearing Xiang Yan say this, Zhao Rui also agreed after thinking about it for a while.

"Also, we have to observe and observe, in case there is any bad impact, it can also be limited to the Luoyang area, and if there is a real problem, it is easy to deal with."

"Then I'll press it first and tell him to reply to him in a few days."

The third prince, Zhao Rui, has always been accustomed to leaving after talking, and he doesn't stay long, Xiang Yan knows his temper and doesn't keep him, but sends him directly outside the mansion.

On the fourth day, after the handwriting of the fish boat trip, the printing capacity of newspapers in the workshop had reached its limit.

It was finally on this day that the printed newspaper was finally enough to sell.

"Childe, it can't go on like this, the brothers have to work day and night, so they can stand up to the sale."

Liu Yan went to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to complain to Xiang Yan.

"If you continue to do this every day, no one's body can withstand it."

"It's only been two days, and many brothers have complained, I'm afraid that in a few days, no matter how much overtime pay is given, no one will do it."

Xiang Yan felt that he was right, and he really couldn't let Xiang's workshop always maintain its maximum production capacity.

Don't say people can't stand it.

It's been a long time, and even those machines can't withstand it.

Xiang Yan gave Liu Yan an idea.

"Didn't you take in some junior brothers in Jinling City before, and asked them to come to the capital for a few days."

"In addition, the paper mill is also going to start recruiting more personnel, and now we are only supplying newspapers to the Luoyang area, but in the future, we will have to distribute them to the whole country, and there will definitely be not enough manpower."

"Also, from today onwards, the owners of the buildings around the workshop will help me negotiate one by one, as long as the price is not too outrageous, and buy me all the houses."

"At that time, the scale of the workshop will still have to be expanded."

"If there is someone who can't talk about it, you can come back and report it to me, and then I will let my second aunt talk about it, and if my second aunt can't talk about it, I will talk about it myself, and if I can't talk about it, I will go to the emperor."

"In short, all the buildings in the vicinity should be bought for me in an area at least five times the size of the original workshop."

"By the way, you also have the blueprint of the papermaking machinery, and they are also skilled in the blacksmith shop that helped us build the machine before, so you can go and ask them to build another batch of machines for us."

"After the expansion of the workshop, it is impossible to start without machinery."

Liu Yan wrote down the previous orders in a muffled voice, but this one made it difficult for him.

"Childe, under the salt and iron franchise, with our ability to swim in fish boats, we can't get so much iron to build a machine for a while."

Yes, then you have to go to the third prince Zhao Rui.

But the last time I asked him to get those irons, he was very embarrassed, and I don't know if he will give it again this time?

Xiang Yan thought about it, he still had to change his thinking, it was better to go directly to the palace to find the emperor, and let him make a holy decree to directly ask the household department to approve a batch of pig iron for Xiang Yan to use.

So Xiang Yan planned to go directly to the palace to find Zhao Longji to talk about it.

But before leaving, Xiang Guozhong came back from outside the house, saw that Xiang Yan was leaving, and hurriedly grabbed him and said something.

"The officials over there in Sanqin are our people, and one of them went back to the capital to report on his work in the past two days, and he happened to see your newspaper and said that he was very interested."

"I'll ask you, can you directly supply to Sanqin, the amount is very large, and it is estimated that the supply of the entire Luoyang area is about the same."

Xiang Yan suddenly had one head and two big.

"I have just done my best to supply the Luoyang region, where is there still the spare strength to supply the Sanqin region."

"And Dad, have you forgotten, we are still engaged in a pilot, and we can't supply it to other regions until the emperor allows it."

"If you want to see it, let them come to Luoyang to find a newsboy, or go to our sales point to buy it, anyway, we only have one issue in seven days, and if you are fast, you can buy every issue."

Xiang Guozhong still didn't give up.

"Stinky boy, the newspaper supply in the entire Sanqin region, do you know how much it is?"

"And that's still our people, I can't make any requests, how can I be the boss."

"That's it, I'll press it first, you hurry up and find a way, you must meet the needs of my subordinates."
