  Chapter 1032 Paper Mill

  The weather is getting colder, and the people in the north covered the important wheat seedling fields with a layer of wheat grass, and everyone began to relax.

  Zhao Hanzhang issued a service order at this time. Considering that this year's war had just ended, she did not issue a heavy service order, and only asked each family to serve for 15 days.

   Or dredging ditches, or leveling official roads, or repairing roads and houses in the village. If there are no adult men in the family, women will serve half-serve. She asked the states and counties to make careful arrangements so as not to waste people's resources.

  The decree was not only sent to the states and counties, but also to the schools in the counties and counties, asking each school to assist the counties in the propaganda work, and at the same time to help the counties manage the service personnel,

   In fact, it also has the meaning of supervision.

  The magistrates of the counties are not stupid, knowing that Zhao Hanzhang is preventing them from embezzling food and wages for the laborers.

   Yes, serving in the military now is a bit different from before. The county government pays for food and pays a certain amount of wages.

  Although the wages are very small, the feeling is still different.

  In the past, they didn’t get paid for their service, and in some places they didn’t even have food, so they had to bring their own food when they went to serve.

Zhao Hanzhang has always trusted the students in the school more, and those students lived up to Zhao Hanzhang's trust and were full of enthusiasm, not only those orphans and children from poor families, but also the children of noble families who entered school later. Soon after entering the school, they were also full of enthusiasm. For Zhao Hanzhang, for the country, and for the people.

   And Zhao Hanzhang also opened channels for communication between schools in various counties and Taixue. Students can not only write letters to communicate with students and teachers in Taixue, ask questions, but also go to Tianxue through Taixue.

  Oh, it is to sue Zhao Hanzhang, such as the magistrate of the county for corruption and bribery, tyranny of the people and the like.

  I heard that last month, the county magistrates of two counties embezzled the relief food issued by the imperial court, resulting in double-digit starvation deaths in the counties, so some students wrote to Taixue.

  After receiving the letter, the students of Taixue handed it over to Yushitai immediately, and passed it all the way to Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang immediately ordered the censor to go to the two counties to investigate. As expected, there was something greedy and cruel, so the county magistrates of the two counties were replaced. Not only that, the homes of the county magistrates of the two counties were ransacked, and the two were imprisoned and taken to Luoyang hearing.

   I don't know if I will be beheaded.

According to the law of Jin Dynasty, corruption is not enough to be killed, most of the officials will not do it, but... they have caused bad results, Zhao Hanzhang has always loved his name, this is the first corruption case after the end of the war. I feel that the two county magistrates are more ominous than ominous.

  Zhao Hanzhang is very likely to kill chickens and monkeys.

It's not Zhao Hanzhang's fault, it's because those two people are too stupid, even if they want to be greedy, at least wait for a while, now it's time for everything to be done, when it's time to gather the government, Zhao Hanzhang is just waiting to stand up, and both of them give away How could she miss it?

  Those two counties, one in Yanzhou and the other in Yuzhou, the reason why everyone knew about them so quickly and clearly is all because of the large number of newspapers published in the whole country, oh no, except Jiangdong and Jiangnan.

The so-called mansion newspaper existed in the Han Dynasty, but it was very rare. Officials from various counties and counties who stayed in the capital copied down the edicts, edicts, memorials of officials and bureaucrats, and some major events that happened in the court. Then send someone back to the county.

  Generally, it is once every half a month, but if there is a particularly important event in the court, it may be closer, and it will be sent every three or four days.

  In this way, the southern officials can know what happened in the north, and the northern officials can also understand the situation in the south, and the capital is equivalent to a political news distribution center.

Of course, this thing was only able to be done during the Taiping period. Before Zhao Hanzhang restarted the residence newspaper, the large-scale residence newspaper in Dajin had been suspended for more than 20 years. Only some powerful governors and governors would send people Stay in the capital to collect this information and send it back.

  Zhao Hanzhang used to read Zhao Zhongyu's mansion newspaper. Every time he received the mansion newspaper, he would ask someone to copy a copy and send it to her, and he would add a lot of things that were not in the mansion newspaper.

  When Zhao Hanzhang made the mansion report by himself, she stopped doing it.

  Because the craftsmen in the paper mill are very powerful. After several years of exploration and experimentation, they can not only make good paper out of book covers, but also mix together various things such as wheat straw and straw to make good paper.

  The cost of this kind of paper is cheaper, and the paper mill has also expanded, and a large amount of paper can be produced every day.

   With the paper and the more mature movable type printing in the bookstore, Zhao Hanzhang was able to expand the Di Bao.

  She handed over the Dibao matter to Taixue and Bookstore, and established a Dibao Office in Taixue, with Taixue students as the positions inside.

She asked them to publish a mansion newspaper every two days. The mansion newspaper will not only contain edicts, edicts, major events that happened in the court within two days, but also some officials' opinions and suggestions on some political affairs, and even good articles and Poems and Fu can also be placed on the Dibao.

This kind of residence newspaper is not only for the chiefs of the counties and counties, but also for the schools in all counties. The students in the school get the residence newspaper for free, but they also have an obligation. Their obligation is to read the residence newspaper for the people of the county. The edicts and edicts in the newspaper, as well as some important measures of the court that are related to their vital interests.

  At the same time, Di Bao also accepts contributions from officials and celebrities from all over the country.

  Of course, it doesn’t matter if you are not a celebrity, as long as there is something to say, Zhao Hanzhang will allow it to be published. Oh, because the mansion newspaper needs a high level of education, Zhao Cheng is also the director of the mansion newspaper.

   He also did the manuscript review, and Zhao Hanzhang just looked at it occasionally.

  After the capital publishes the Dibao, it will be sent to the prefectures through post stations, and from the prefectures to the counties, and the counties will print the same Dibao and distribute it.

  However, Zhao Hanzhang only has eight bookstores and paper mills now, and some counties don’t have them yet, so they can only buy from nearby counties in other states.

The money to buy a mansion newspaper is not much, mainly because of the high transportation costs, so Shi Le, the governor of Youzhou, who has no bookstores, and Bei Gongchun, the governor of Bingzhou, who has few bookstores, have written letters, asking the imperial court to open more bookstores and paper mills here. .

   Zhao Hanzhang agreed, and ordered the states and counties to find their own land to build bookstores and paper mills, and to find all craftsmen, and she came to give the drawings.

At present, bookstores and papermaking workshops in various places are built in imitation of Xiping's bookstores and papermaking workshops. Xiping's bookstores and papermaking workshops are also the most advanced. Up to now, they have expanded three times. The above papers reached 90,000 sheets at most.

   Of course, it is large paper, which can be cut into the books we are printing now, and sixteen sheets can be cut out.

   Regardless of the increase in production capacity, the paper is still not enough.

  Not to mention anything else, the court’s daily office paper is a huge consumption.

   Collecting refugees, registering their names, registering household registration, and recording various information all require a lot of paper.
