Today's brain is hot, and it's crazy again, crazy eight chapters, 25,000 words brothers, such a powerful update, don't you give some subscriptions, monthly passes, and rewards to support the author After nearly a month, I returned to Zhangjiagou and found that it was still very lively.
Bailu Academy, the expansion has been completed, occupying a large area on the east side of the village, and the original village wall has been folded to expand a large area.
New classrooms, dormitories, and cafeterias have been built, and playgrounds have been made larger.
Even several water towers were built in the seowon, and well carts were installed in the wells, and cylinder carts were erected under the water towers, and the seowon also had running water.
As soon as you enter the village, you can hear the sound of reading aloud from the academy.
Zhang Chao and Ma Zhou, the two chief and deputy mountain chiefs, are not there, but the academy is still running very well.
After the new primary school textbooks were compiled, Bailu Academy was the second batch of students to use the new textbooks after Chongmenguan Primary School.
The middle road in the village has now been officially remodeled and has become a market.
On both sides of the village road, there were canopies sticking out along the eaves, and many simple stalls were set up under the canopy walls.
Nearby villagers can come here every day to catch the market and buy and sell some local products.
At one end, there is also a formal store opened by the Zhang family, which is a grocery store, what needles and threads, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, spatula hoes, zero Luo department stores, all kinds of them, which greatly facilitates the nearby people, and they don't need to go to the township and county.
There is even a window in this shop, you can handle the letter and mail from Zhangjiagou to Chang'an, here also sells tickets, there are several buses to and from Chang'an every day, as long as you spend a little money, you can take a ride.
In addition, you can also save money, pawn, and borrow money here, which is a window of Zhang Ji Money Village and pawn shop here.
Villagers in the local village can also enjoy discounts.
"I didn't expect it to be so lively, it's only been a month."
Steward Zheng, who came to greet him, smiled and explained that now with the operation of the liquor shop, pottery field and bookstore, there are more and more people in Zhangjiagou, several workshops and schools, as well as the construction site on the other side of the bathing ditch, so that the number of people working and living here has exceeded 5,000.
There are 5,000 people, which is more than the average township population.
What's more, these 5,000 people are concentrated in this area, and they are all working, and the work is different from ordinary living, and they can earn a lot of wages by working, they are harder, but the wages are also relatively high, compared with the popular farmers, these people are considered high-income people.
Where there is money, there is consumption, and when there is consumption, there will naturally be a market.
Zhangjiagou Village has also been rapidly developing in the direction of Zhangjia Town.
Ordinary villagers also make a lot of profits, such as renting out their vacant houses, such as washing clothes for these workers.
Zhang Chao didn't expect that the service industry had already appeared in Zhangjiagou, and some people even set up a few tables at home and began to cook some private dishes to serve those who wanted to come for a few drinks or add a meal.
A few days ago, a businessman came and offered to rent a house here and get some, but they were rejected by the village.
Even the maids came, and it seems that the liveliness of Zhangjiagou has indeed become famous.
"The businessman's request can actually be agreed, but it can't come to our village, so we can rent a piece of land for them to build a house some distance from the village and let them build a house by themselves, or we can build a house and rent it to them and let them run it."
There are some things that can't be banned alone.
After all, there are so many workshops and so many workers here.
This is the same as those mining areas in later generations, and those shampoo rooms in the mining areas are the most numerous, because they need to be relatively high.
"It's good to be lively, but you also have to note some things, such as arranging patrols in the village, patrolling day and night, and strengthening fire prevention and theft."
At the beginning, Zhang Chao insisted on building the wine workshop, the wine altar workshop, and the printing workshop in Zhangjiagou, precisely because he expected the current situation.
If there are more workshops, there will be more workers, and if there are more workers who earn wages, it will drive consumption, and there will be demand for the service industry, which is also demand.
There will even be green buildings and gambling houses.
As long as it can be controlled well, in fact, it can increase a lot of money if it is planned.
If nothing else, if there are more people, the consumption power here will attract the surrounding villagers to trade here, so that this place will form a new market center.
Zhangjiagou plans to build a commercial street, and you can rent out shops and stalls, which is a lot of money alone.
Even in the future, some businesses can be charged some sanitation fees and public security fees, which do not need more, but can add up to a lot, and there is a lot.
For thousands of workers who earn wages, the spending power is still very high.
The Zhang family's compound is still like that, and the servants left behind in the house take good care of the house, just like when they first left.
As soon as Zhang Chao sat down, many people rushed over to visit.
There are Li Zheng and Muramasa, as well as the teachers of the academy and the stewards of the workshop.
Everyone came to congratulate Zhang Chao on his promotion to knighthood again.
"San Lang, our bookstore is about to stop, and I'm about to go to Jingshi to find you."
In charge of the printing workshop is a companion brought by Cui Yingying, also surnamed Zheng, Zheng Zhao and Zheng are in charge.
"What's going on" Hearing that the printing workshop was going to stop, Zhang Chao immediately frowned.
Now Zhang Ji Bookstore is the key industry of the Zhang family, not only the profit of the printing workshop is considerable, but also the printing workshop is also a good tool to maintain Zhang Chao's reputation.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
How many celebrities and Confucians, originally a little unconvinced, Zhang Chao is now red and purple, and wants to find Zhang Chao to debate the scriptures and history, but Zhang Chao said Do you want to print books, so he tempted them.
He also just got a large list of 30,000 sets of Chongwenguan edition of primary school textbooks from the emperor, one set has twelve volumes for six grades, and there are several courses, although each book is not printed, but it adds up to tens of millions of pages of books to print. casually is thousands of profits, and when the book is printed, he Zhang Chao will really know the world.
And he is also going to expand the bookstore, recruit more people, and then follow the printing list of the Five Classics of Justice that the imperial court is preparing to compile, as well as the history books of various dynasties.
"Saburo, paper and ink are out of supply" Zheng Zhao looked helpless, the printing workshop is indeed very popular, and now it has recruited five batches of lettering apprentices, and many other apprentices such as board-making, printing, and bookbinding have also been recruited, and the number of bookshops has exceeded two thousand.
Although most of them are apprentices, they are still very productive.
Zhang Chao kept placing orders, and the bookstore was also very tight.
But now the problem is not that the engraving cannot be engraved, but that the material is insufficient.
Two of the most important materials for printing, paper and ink, had a supply problem at the same time.
Originally, there was little printing, and there was no such problem, but now the printing list is really large, and it will take tens of millions of pages to print all the primary school textbooks, and just listening to this number is scary enough.
The Chang'an paper mill that originally supplied paper to the Zhang family had no choice but to say that it could not supply so much, and the manager contacted some other paper mills in Gyeonggi, but the annual output of many paper mills was so much, and most of them had already had buyers, and they had to increase a lot of output at once, and they couldn't increase it for a while.
"Now the price of paper in Chang'an has risen by two percent, and we are buying paper everywhere in our printing workshop to buy the price, but now we can't buy more paper if we increase the price, and the output of those paper mills has reached the upper limit, and we can only wait until next year to have paper."
"Is the same with ink?"
Zhang Chao asked, the printed ink was processed by the Zhang family themselves, mainly to buy coarse cigarettes from the ink workshop, and then buy glue, refueling and so on to prepare together.
"Pine cigarettes and glue are not available."
This is troublesome, there is no paper, no ink, and it is useless to grab more printing lists.
This is not like an engraving, if you train more workers yourself, you can carve it anyway.
But there is no paper, no ink, what to print I can't look at so many orders pressed there, it's all money, it's all name.
Zhang Chao is also planning to hold a half-moon talk in Chang'an, which is all in the planning, and you are now telling me that there is a shortage of paper and ink, and you can't print, isn't this a cheat It has to be addressed.
"Steward Xiao Zheng, see if there is a way for us to directly acquire a few paper mills and ink mills, and after the acquisition, we will recruit some more people to expand the scale of production."
"Hui Saburo, those who can open paper mills and ink mills are not ordinary businessmen, but mostly the industries of big families.
They don't sell these properties easily, it's not a matter of more money and less money. ” If things can be explained with money, it is not a matter for Zhang San.
But if the money can't be solved, then there will be some trouble.
He is still a little accustomed to thinking with the thinking of later generations, but he ignores that this is the Tang Dynasty.
You are willing to pay a high price to buy, but people are not willing to sell, what can be done?
"Then we will hire craftsmen to build the paper mill and the ink mill ourselves."
Zhang Chao knew that in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, papermaking technology had a fundamental development, and a large number of papermaking workshops appeared, which also made the quality of the paper better and cheaper, so that the paper really became the carrier of words, replacing Jane and silk.
The same is true for ink making, which has become a relatively mature industry at this time.
"Saburo, it's harder to dig out the paper-making and ink-making craftsmen from those workshops than to buy their workshops directly.
In particular, many of the craftsmen who understand the key techniques are often slaves in those families, and they can't dig if they want to. ” Although paper and ink making have become relatively mature industries today, every family that controls this industry is strictly secret.
It is more difficult to start a new business by poaching people than to buy someone else's workshop directly.
Damn feudal thinking, too conservative, no wonder it is difficult for society to progress, it is these people who hinder it.
With money in his hand, he couldn't buy a workshop or dig up technical talents, which made Zhang Chao very popular, and it was better for future generations to pay patent fees.
"If it really doesn't work, then we will build our own workshops and train craftsmen by ourselves."
"But we don't have the technology."
Zhang Chao sneered a few times, "Isn't it just papermaking and ink-making, it's not a profound skill, I will" Steward Xiao Zheng looked at Zhang Chao with a look of disbelief. t1706231537:
