Hanzhong County.

Lin Chuan and Cao Jie stayed in Yecheng for a total of seven days before setting off for their return.

For Cao Jie, every time she goes home, it is like a married girl returning to her parents' home.

Every time she went home, she was teased by her two brothers, and Cao Jie hoped that it was true, but Mr. Lin was very polite and respectful to her......

In fact, this is also not to blame Lin Chuan, if Lin Chuan was on a desert island, the first thing he encountered was not Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and Xu Chu, but the beautiful and delicate Cao Jie, then maybe something would really happen.

The current Marquis of Hanzhong not only governs a county, but also the gradually growing Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, and the daily events and small events are summarized to occupy a lot of Lin Chuan's time.

Although the tool man Sima Yi is easy to use, it is impossible for Lin Chuan to hand over his family wealth to him.

Lin Chuan has now begun to let Deng Ai gradually take over Sima Yi's affairs.

Liu Ba is in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, which saves Lin Chuan a lot of energy, otherwise Lin Chuan will have to take time out to stare at the production base.

"There are still not enough talents! Alas......"

Lin Chuan, who now only had Deng Ai, Jiang Wei and Liu Ba under his command, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Lin Chuan was answering questions about the handling of government affairs in the county for Deng Ai at this time.

This time he went to Yecheng, and Lin Chuan only brought Cao Jie.

Deng Ai stayed in the county to assist Sima Yi in handling government affairs, while Jiang Wei studied with Deng Ai.

Lin Chuan, who finished answering questions for Deng Ai, was just about to go back to the room to rest, and Liu Ba found him to report to work.

Lin Chuan, who cheered up, returned to the study and began to listen to Liu Ba's report.

Lin Chuan went to Yecheng this time, counting the round-trip distance and the week he stayed in Yecheng, the time has passed more than a month.

Liu Ba reported at this time the operation of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce in the past month or so.

"Lord Hou of Hanzhong, the headquarters of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce in Dongwu and Jiangxia have been completed respectively."

"The sales of cloth in the two places have exceeded 100,000 horses, and there is still room for growth!"

"At present, the water-powered loom factory has 52 looms, with a daily output of 672 horses, but because it is close to winter, it is estimated that the water-powered loom factory can produce for another month and a half."

"Before winter, the Chamber of Commerce can stock up on 30,000 horses of linen, and the production of cement and red bricks has now been expanded."

Lin Chuan heard Liu Ba's report and knew that the current hydraulic loom factory was operating normally, and the output of cement and red bricks was also increasing, so he said to Liu Ba:

"It's the beginning of hard work!"

Then Lin Chuanyou set off to the production base outside the city to ask Chen Yuan, the person in charge of the production base, how the firing process of the glass was perfect.

"Returning to Lord Hou of Hanzhong, there is no problem with the production of small pieces of glassware at present!"

Chen Yuan replied, and then led Lin Chuan to see the production of glasses.

Lin Chuan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he saw the rows of glasses neatly stacked on the shelves.

"However, the 'full-length mirror' mentioned by Hanzhong Hou before has not been successfully manufactured, and large pieces of glass are easy to break, and I and the craftsmen are adjusting the firing formula and process, and it is expected to be manufactured before the end of the year!"

Chen Yuan then reported to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan also knew that large pieces of glass were not so easy to make, so he suppressed the urgency in his heart and encouraged Chen Yuandao:

"Master Chen doesn't need to be in a hurry, and Ben Hou doesn't have a time limit. And Ben Hou believed in Master Chen's ability, so he did it boldly and confidently, and when the silver was not enough, he went to Miss Cao to withdraw it. ”

The part of the income of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce that belongs to Lin Chuan is now Cao Jie is in charge of it.

If it weren't for Cao Jie's orderly management of the personnel and finances of the entire Hou Mansion, Lin Chuan probably wouldn't have much time to leave Hanzhong.

Lin Chuan saw with his own eyes that the progress of all the work of the production base was expected, and he could finally go back to the Hou Mansion to rest with confidence.

At the time of the dinner in the Hou Mansion, Lin Chuan also called Liu Ba and Chen Yuan to the mansion.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.

"Lord Hanzhong, there is something I am worried about now......

Liu Ba continued to drink and brought up an incident that he had forgotten to mention in the previous report.

"Zichu bluntly said, Ben Hou will see if there is a solution."

Lin Chuan was also curious, but not very worried.

Because of Liu Ba's ability, if the Chamber of Commerce really had any hidden development hazards that Lin Chuan didn't expect, Liu Ba would have told Lin Chuan long ago if he couldn't deal with it.

Maybe Liu Ba just complained about some trivial things, which is human nature. ’

Lin Chuan thought in his heart while waiting for Liu Ba to tell him about his worries.

Chen Yuan was also curious on the side.

The production base can expand production capacity and increase manpower so smoothly, in fact, it is inseparable from the financial support of the Liuba Business Chamber of Commerce.

So Chen Yuan also wanted to see if he could help Liu Ba.

"Hanzhong Hou, now the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce has five branches, three in the Middle East and two in Jiangxia."

"In the future, we will have more chapters, maybe dozens or hundreds, more than ......."

“...... Although the report made by Lord Hou of Hanzhong is concise and clear, because it has to be provided to all the shareholders of the scholar family in a timely manner, the transcription of this report is more troublesome! ”

"I need a new guy, but he can't have too many affairs, otherwise he won't have time to copy the report, and mistakes have happened a few times in his busyness, and the content on this report is confidential to the Chamber of Commerce, and I'm mainly worried about this."

Lin Chuan listened to General Liu Ba's explanation of the cause and effect, so he asked:

"How many reports are being distributed every day, and how many guys are there who are responsible for copying them?"

"Back to the Marquis of Hanzhong, now only Hanzhong County has to distribute one hundred and fifty-seven reports every day, and only three people copy them!"

Although Liu Ba was a little drunk at this time, he already knew all the data of the Chamber of Commerce.

After hearing this, Lin Chuan began to bow his head and think about the solution.

Chen Yuan is also thinking: it is a bit difficult to ensure that each report is copied accurately, and to ensure that the person who copied the report does not leak the data of the Chamber of Commerce!

After a while, Lin Chuan raised his head and shook his somewhat drunk brain.

They're too slow! Printer? Laser scanning? Email......? ’

What popped up in Lin Chuan's mind were all office equipment from later generations, but unfortunately none of them could be made now.

It wasn't until Lin Chuan saw Chen Yuan, the person in charge of the production base, who was also thinking on the side, that he suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

"Movable type!"

Lin Chuan suddenly blurted out.

Liu Ba and Chen Yuan, who were thinking, were taken aback by Lin Chuan's sudden voice, and then they were stunned:

"Movable type printing? What's that? ”

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when engraving printing had not yet appeared and straw paper was still rare, the surprise of the two was not unreasonable.

But Liu Ba and Chen Yuan understand that every time they hear something new from the mouth of the Hou of Hanzhong, then this problem must be solved!
