Du Shaoqing didn't stay in the palace for two days before he was called away, and it was sent by the papermaking workshop to inform him.Drove the horse to the paper workshop, the old steward was already waiting at the door, there were five guards on each side with knives, looking like no one was close, and the workshop was remote, so there were almost no pedestrians at the door on weekdays."
Owner, according to your instructions, we have soaked the finished bamboo in water for 100 days, but we have only soaked the bamboo thoroughly, I don't know how to apply it next?"
When the old steward spoke, he still had a skeptical attitude.Du Shaoqing picked up a small bundle of soaked bamboo and observed it, then turned his head and asked, "You used to use mulberry bark to make paper, what will you do?"
”"We first broke the bark, threw it in water to soak it, then boiled it in a large pot until it became cloudy, and finally used a bead curtain to remove the water from it again and again, and new pieces of paper came out.But now this bamboo is still a knotted and sturdy shape, which is not suitable for use. ”"That's because you haven't found a suitable method, the next step of bamboo papermaking is to put these soaked bamboos in lime water and boil them for eight days and nights, then take them out and rinse them with clean water, and then put them in a stone mortar or wooden mortar and mash them into mud, and then you can mix them into clean water and use a bead curtain to get paper."
Du Shaoqing explained the next process thoroughly, and he was not afraid that any of these people would leak secrets, but all the craftsmen who could work in the royal workshop were all people who had been investigated for three generations, and they were absolutely safe.The old steward was suspicious when he heard it, and it would not be bad to soak in water for a hundred days, and it would be enough to boil it in lime water for eight days?
Is it so magical?"
By the way, how many Hsinchus have you put in total over such a long time?
Remember to soak every day, and once the time comes, the workshop will not need to be stopped. ”Du Shaoqing remembered this matter, since he took over this workshop, this is the second time he has come, I don't know what they have been doing in the past 100 days?
The old steward looked embarrassed: "The owner forgives the sin, I thought I was going to make a pool to try first, so I just soaked a batch of Hsinchu, but according to your success, all the pools that can be used are used, but our workshop is small, and there are only five clear water pools in total." ”Du Shaoqing thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, first make the first batch of paper according to the steps just said, and I'll go find someone, take down the two neighboring houses, send you more people, and you are responsible for building a new pool."
Must be in accordance with my requirements, bamboo should be soaked every day, after all, it can be used after a hundred days, time waits for no one, can do one more day is a day, tell the workers, after the new paper is made, the daily wage will be doubled. ”This sentence directly made the old steward kneel down and kowtow to Du Shaoqing, and Du Shaoqing hurriedly pulled it.The old steward said with tears in his eyes: "The owner is a great de, we are all official slaves in the government, and now we have been promised to the owner by His Majesty, that is, I have sold myself to you, and I only need to take care of the food for the owner, where do I dare to ask for wages?"
”What???
Du Shaoqing was stunned, but there are about 100 people here, all of whom are slaves?
Official slaves?
And it's also an official slave with a stunt?
That's too extravagant, isn't it?
The point is now?
I have one more hundred and ten house slaves?
Before I knew it, I had become an ancient slave owner?
It's not a surprise, it's a fright.personally helped the old butler up and comforted: "Follow others, I can't control what treatment I used to have."
But now that you follow me Du Shaoqing, you are a member of the Du family, so you will have a salary to pay, even if you are a person who sells herself.Because your work needs to be kept strictly confidential, everyone's deed of sale cannot be erased, but the treatment will not be less, not only the salary, but also when the big event is completed, everyone in the workshop, Changle House will give you a new house, so that you can all start a family and settle down. ”It's over, this is countless times more generous than wages, this time not only the old steward knelt down again, all the workers in the workshop were moved to kowtow, and Du Shaoqing couldn't shout.If outsiders know that Du Shaoqing has placed these slaves in their homes, I am afraid that it will cause criticism again, this goods is dressed in the skin of nobles, doing things that break the rules, and the slaves of the Du family are treated more favorably than civilians, so what do other people's servants think?
You must know that Chang'an City is the imperial capital, a place where every inch of land is valuable, many poor people who come here to make a living can't have a house to settle down, the Du family is good, and the servants are divided into rooms to marry daughters-in-law?
Du Shaoqing knows that if you want the horse to run, you must first have the horse eat grass, although the craftsman of this workshop is the lowest level, but he is responsible for the future of Datang Papermaking, a house is nothing to himself, a hundred sets is nothing, anyway, he is now the real estate leader, but for them it is the family, it is all, it is the future, and it is the hope.Although they don't give anything, they will definitely not have much efficiency, and now it will be different, Du Shaoqing is confident that the first time they make paper, they will be able to do it exactly according to their own requirements, and this transaction is absolutely worthwhile.Before Du Shaoqing finished his work and came out of the paper workshop, someone came to the construction site, saying that the construction period was going smoothly, and now half of the Changle House was completed, and everyone moved into a new home.This news directly made the workers in the workshop excited again, everyone saw the real thing, the beggars who asked for food on the street have settled down, will we be far away?
What is Yu Zhe looking for Du Shaoqing for?
Although these workers are their own people who do not want to be paid, in order to ensure the quality, the construction materials should be good, the construction tools should be good, and there is no cutting corners, so spending money is like running water.The key is that the newly built houses have been given to the workers, and the furniture in them is complete, so in recent months, Du Jiachun has relied on the wine business and the support of 90,000 yuan of treasure digging, and it is almost impossible to hold on.Yu Zhe frowned, the workers were happy because they were assigned a house and had a home, but he, the chief engineer, was about to turn white, if he had no money, let alone rebuild Chang'an, even the projects in Yongpingfang were semi-finished products.Du Shaoqing waved his hand, and said lightly: "Get a sample house at the gate of Yongpingfang, send people to hype it up in Chang'an City, sell the new house, and ask Wu Zhao to negotiate the price. ”Yu Zhe was skeptical when he heard it, and said in his heart that someone wants a house like yours?
I'm afraid you won't be able to sell for a price, after all, your first batch was given to beggar orphans for nothing.But when Wu Zhao calculated the cost of furniture, plus the sum of the construction cost, the price of the existing house given by Du Shaoqing made Yu Zhe and Wu Zhao surprised that their mouths could put down the eggs.Did you make a mistake?
If you don't take medicine, a fool will buy it.
