Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 173: Paper Mill

Jia Rong carefully registered Hu Wei's name on the roster, and wrote papermaking on the back. Finally, he asked about Hu Wei's residence, and Jia Rong started to ask the next question.

There are very few aristocratic families in Jincheng County, and relatively speaking, there are few talents. Even those who come to apply for the job are generally recognized as wise men. How poor is the popularity.

Hu Wei is the only paper-making technician recruited so far, and he is the only one who can be consulted about opening a paper-making factory. In terms of paper-making, Jia Rong knows nothing about other things except for some advanced principles. .

Hu Wei knew everything and talked endlessly, and even told Jia Rong some of his experience in papermaking over the years. In the end, Hu Wei said that papermaking requires the decree of Emperor Han, and Jia Rong didn't take it to heart. , These things can be handed over to Su Shuang to take care of them. I heard that the relationship between Su Shuang and Emperor Han has maintained a good relationship recently, and Su Shuang represents himself.

Cai Lun invented papermaking, which greatly facilitated the study of the Han Dynasty people, but books are still a problem, mainly because the books of the Han Dynasty are transcribed word by word, which is extremely troublesome. The hard-working books spread out, which is why Guan Yu got a copy of Chunqiu, which is regarded as a treasure.

In the Han Dynasty, the status of cultural people was very high, and some prefects and county magistrates had to treat local celebrities with respect.

There are many kinds of paper in the Han Dynasty. For example, the paper made of fishing net cloth is net paper, and the paper made of rags is cloth paper. There are many types, but the paper made by these methods is yellowish, but Dongnae Uncle Zuo produced delicate and clean paper, which was passed down as a good story for a while. No matter how these artificial papers are, they are definitely not as good as those made by advanced methods. No matter the quality or the color of paper, papermaking did not come until the Song Dynasty. Counting to the heyday, the paper produced is so fine and smooth that you can't put it down.

The paper mill was built according to the specifications of the Han Dynasty. Hu Wei personally guided the construction of the paper mill. Naturally, the construction of the paper mill required the help of craftsmen. Jia Rong’s wages were higher than before. With money, it is natural to benefit the people. People will consume when they have money. This forms a good cycle, and the people can live a good life. Many things in the paper mill are not available in Jincheng, and they need to go to the inner county. Procurement, with the backing of Xianlian Pavilion, was completed very easily.

The craftsmen who built houses in Jincheng County have become the most popular characters. It was not reflected when they built the places where ordinary residents lived. Salary, many people have learned the technology of construction. Building a house is said to be the same technical work, but it is actually very simple. The houses in Jincheng are not Luoyang. They are all extremely simple one-story houses, and the highest is only three-story. Restaurant, in this way, the construction technology is greatly simplified.

Hu Wei is old, and his eyesight and spirit can't keep up, but under a letter from Hu Wei, six disciples who followed Hu Wei to learn papermaking came to Jincheng. Jia Rong is very fond of these real technicians. Pay attention, in the past, their monthly wages in Dahan’s paper mill were just one guan, but when they arrived at Jia Rong, they were directly paid three guans a month, and each was assigned a house. Hu Wei’s wages directly reached ten guan However, if this news spreads out, it may cause shocks among ordinary people and arouse enthusiasm for people to learn papermaking.

With substantial rewards, these young people have reached a higher level of work, and they all expressed that they would definitely do their best.

Jia Rong didn't want them to enjoy it so much, let them train a new batch of apprentices after the paper mill was completed, just like craftsmen's workshops, technology can't be kept secret, and good things need to be discussed together.

Hu Wei readily accepts this. He doesn’t want to take away his skills when he is old. Hu Wei also learned the technical work of papermaking after years of suffering. He understands that an ordinary person wants to learn the real How difficult the technology is, this also made Hu Wei relax, and handed over the papermaking technology to the common people. If it was someone else, it was not certain whether Hu Wei would come or not. The old man saw hope, and he could feel Jia Rong's heart. ..

The affairs of the paper mill are completely handed over to Hu Wei and several people. After the completion, I will find a suitable opportunity to teach them the technology of making good paper, so as to reduce the cost and make better paper.

The land reclamation order reached the [-] counties under Jia Rong's rule, triggering a frenzy of land reclamation, especially those from Beidi County who were more enthusiastic. Jincheng County had no land for them, and Jia Rong ordered the land reclamation to be the largest The winners are them.

The enthusiasm of the Qiang tribe is not inferior to anyone. They came to live in the territory of the Han people for the first year. They have nothing but the houses that Jia Rong helped build. They still understand the way of life of the Han people. They understand the importance of land to the people. After the order was issued, Jia Rong sent Li Wenhou to assist the Qiang tribe in opening up wasteland.

Jincheng County is a relatively large county in comparison, but after counting the population of the fourteen counties, it is found that there are more than [-] people, including [-] ordinary people and Qiang people from Beidi County. Human tribes migrated here. Such a large county has such a small population, and there is still a lot of land per capita. However, Jincheng County has always been barren and barren, and the quality of the land is not very good. It is impossible to rely on the people to grow crops to survive.

Naturally, the army was used as a coolie for this land reclamation, but after hearing that it was land reclamation, these soldiers did not make a single complaint, especially the Qiang soldiers, who had high morale and enthusiasm for land reclamation.

Jia Rong pointed to a large field in the distance and asked, "Whose field is this?"

A commoner came up and said softly, "That belongs to Yu's family in the city."

Jia Rong nodded, pointed to another field and continued to ask, "Where's the one over there?"

"My lord, all the fields around here are Yu's fields."

Jia Rong hissed softly, this Yu family is just a local tyrant in Jincheng County, but owns so much fertile land, there are three big local tyrants and two aristocratic families in Jincheng County, these are just the most powerful families, and there are many small local tyrants, Compared with other counties, the situation is still very good, but a small local tycoon owns so many fields, it has to be thought-provoking, especially the Han family and Han family of the local tyrants in Jincheng County and the Han family and Han Sui Inextricably linked, these situations cannot be ignored.

"Go back and ask Mr. Zhang to check how much land each family of local tyrants in Jincheng County owns, and get their detailed statistics." Jia Rong said to a lone wolf soldier beside him.

The lone wolf clasped his fists and quickly left here after agreeing.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians worked together, and after one month, more than 15 mu of fertile land were cultivated, and all of these fields belonged to the prefect's mansion.

The most land reclamation is in the county. The army of the people is much more than other counties, and more than [-] mu of fertile land have been reclaimed. The other counties have opened up a total of more than [-] mu. The Qiang tribe has opened up nearly [-] mu of land. The field, per capita can be allocated more than one mu of land, such a result will be very good.

<b耕就能投入使用了;金城郡的原先百姓每人分得了一亩田,这样一来,还剩下一万余亩田地,这样的结果每个人都很高兴,除了城内的土豪和世家,羌人部落的土地就交给了他们自己来处理。

The wealthy family has been very honest recently, probably because they have heard of Jia Rong’s tricks, but Jia Rong doesn’t want to let them go like this. According to Zhang Li’s statistics, Yu’s family alone has tens of thousands of mu of fertile land. This is only on the surface. Yes, these local tyrants from aristocratic families have a total of nearly [-] mu of fertile land. Fertile land is not equal to farmland. It is the land with relatively good terrain and high yield. Generally, one mu of fertile land can produce [-]/[-] more grain than ordinary land. For example, if the yield of an ordinary field is two shi per mu, then a good field is three shi.

The paper mill has been built and some workers are being recruited. The current paper mill is not as particular as the later generations. There is no such thing as pollution. The main reason is that no one is aware of the word "environment". Luoyang Zhouxuan, Emperor Han also agreed to the Jincheng County Paper Mill, but he had to pay a certain amount of money every year.

The monthly salary of each worker is [-] qian, which is enough for an ordinary family to live frugally for a month. As soon as the recruitment order was issued, the gate of the paper mill was full of people. Jia Rong ordered the selection Most of them are workers aged [-] or [-]. There is no labor law in this era, otherwise Jia Rong will have a new crime. The main reason for choosing such people is that young people can learn faster. There are several technicians, and the reason to hire them with high salaries is naturally to let more and more people learn the technology of papermaking.

Just like the blacksmith workshop is now absorbing some young people, blacksmithing technology needs continuous innovation and creation, just the old style will not achieve good blacksmithing results, because these old blacksmiths already have their own fixed pattern of blacksmithing, while newcomers Different, with the original foundation, there will be more novel ideas.

These workers will sign a contract when they enter the paper mill and craftsman workshop. The paper mill and craftsman workshop will pay more money depending on the quality of their work, but their wages will never be reduced. They will work in the paper mill craftsman workshop for 20 years. , All actions are subject to the command of the Taishoufu, otherwise they will be sanctioned by the Taishoufu.
