Go to the stables.
Wang Jian led out a docile old horse and surveyed the terrain along the ravine and river beach alone.
Paper mills are different from other manual jobs and have certain requirements for site selection.
It is necessary to stay away from drinking water areas to avoid affecting the human body.
"This place is nice."
After walking around for a long time, Wang Jian finally spotted a low mound covered with gravel.
This piece of land is large enough, with approximately ten acres developed.
It takes some work to deal with it. You need to shovel out the three-meter-high mound and fill in the large and small pits that have been sunken.
However, it is not difficult for Majiazhuang, which has sufficient manpower.
After determining the location of the paper mill, Wang Jian immediately returned to the village and called over the five key players: Han Xuelian, Ma Sanye, Chen Gong, Ma Changshou and Fu Bo.
"I have good news to announce to you. Master Chen has revolutionized papermaking technology and shortened the papermaking time to one month."
"Master Chen took out the paper we made. Let everyone take a look."
Although most of them are illiterate, they can still easily distinguish the quality of items.
"Is this really paper made in our Majiazhuang?"
"How can it be so white? It's better than official rice paper."
Everyone took it Holding the flawless white rice paper, there was a surprised expression on his face.
When did Majiazhuang, where generations of people have grown up, become so awesome?
Ma Sanye and others showed expressions of disbelief.
Papermaking is not something you can do with strength, it is a real technical job.
"Master Chen, congratulations. You have made a breakthrough in papermaking technology. You will receive a large reward at the end of the year."
"Master Chen is amazing. He is worthy of being a master of the Gewuyuan."
Everyone congratulated Chen Gong.
Mr. Chen was a little shy and quickly waved his hands and explained to everyone, "It's all the credit of Mr. Wang. Without his guidance, there would be no innovation in papermaking."
"Master Chen Don’t be too modest, your hard work is obvious to all.”
Wang Jian’s words affirmed Chen Gong’s contribution.
Chen Gong was obsessed with the research of papermaking and was often busy until late at night.
This is something everyone in Majiazhuang knows.
Chen Gong’s hair was as messy as a madman and he didn’t even have time to take care of it. His reputation as a research madman was indeed well deserved.
After everyone exchanged a few words, Wang Jian coughed and went directly to the topic.
"Call everyone here, I think you already know it."
"Next, we will build a paper factory in Majiazhuang to produce rice paper for sale."
Mr. Ma was confused and asked, "How big of a paper mill will we build?"
Wang Jian stood up and made a surprising statement under everyone's curious gaze.
"We need to build a paper mill that can accommodate three to four hundred employees and produce tens of millions of sheets of paper every month."
"The paper mill will be the core business of our Majiazhuang. Industry, the largest source of income in the future. ”
The Tang Dynasty was not only martial but also prosperous in literary style.
With the rise of imperial examinations, there will be countless people who want to change their family's destiny through reading.
Papermaking is a long-term and stable business.
As long as you master the core technology well, there will be no problem in reaping this dividend for hundreds of years.
Everyone was surprised.
"What a big deal!"
According to the current price sold by booksellers in the county, a piece of good rice paper costs almost 6 yuan.
As expected of Wang Jian, just like when he formed the well-drilling team at that time, if he didn't do it, he would have done it to the highest standards.
"Jian'er, what should we do to build such a large paper mill?"
"We are really in the dark and have no idea where to start!"
Majiazhuang is about to have such a big project, and Mr. Ma and others look embarrassed.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Building such a large factory is undoubtedly a huge challenge for rural people like them.
Call them over, Wang Jian has already thought of what to do.
So we arranged it directly.
"Master Chen, you are the director of the paper mill."
"When we go to see the site, you can draw a sketch of the structural configuration of the paper mill and I will give it to you. ”
A paper mill is not as simple as building a house.
The cooking area, washing area, bleaching pool area and drying area need to be laid out scientifically.
The size and proportion of the construction must be scientific and reasonable.
There is so much paper pulp that cannot be cooked that the bleaching tank is too small to hold it.
As the person in charge of production, Mr. Chen has the most say in how the functional areas are equipped.
Seeing that Chen Gong nodded solemnly and agreed, Wang Jian said to Ma Changshou and Ma Sanye again.
"Third Master, Uncle Changshou, you are responsible for arranging people to cooperate with Master Chen to build the paper mill."
"The construction of the paper mill should be ranked first, and other tasks can be done later. "Put it away."
The hardness of bricks fired in brick factories has improved a lot, and I believe it will not take long for them to break through.
Leveling the land and digging foundations currently take a long time, and the time is about right.
"You can tell Master Chen whatever you need to do, and we two old men will cooperate fully."
Ma Sanye and Ma ChangshouHe said patting his chest.
Chen Gong's hands were nervously grasping the corners of his clothes, and he nodded blankly towards Mr. Ma.
"Fu Bo, you will be the purchasing director of the paper mill in the future. The demand for purchasing raw materials is very large. You will need to form a purchasing team of at least 20 people."
"Carriage If it’s not enough, go ahead and buy at least one carriage for each buyer. ”
“The construction of the paper mill will take several months. Before that, you can start arranging people to stockpile raw materials.”
When Fu Bo came to work in the paper mill, he couldn't take care of the purchase of ingredients.
On the recommendation of Uncle Forbes, Wang Jian appointed an experienced and clever woman to serve as the purchasing captain of Majiazhuang's ingredients.
The raw materials needed for paper production are easy to buy, but the demand is too large, so you must stock up in advance.
Otherwise, when the mountains are closed by heavy snow, all the fodder will be used for fires, and the paper mill will be delayed if it wants to start work.
The last time the well-drilling team drove most of the carriages, the long journey required more carriages to carry silver and tools.
There are only three horses left in the village.
"I lived in vain for the past few decades, but when I reached my old age, I realized that my daily life was so wonderful."
"Master Chen, Uncle Fu, I am a farmer. I don’t understand anything, just tell me what you need me to do.”
Fu Bole gently touched the white hair on his head and joked with a smile.
"Hahaha."
Everyone laughed heartily, and even Wang Jian was amused by Uncle Fu's words.
After arranging the others, Wang Jian finally set his sights on Han Xuelian.
"Sister Lian, we need you to be the financial director of the paper mill."
"You train two clever sisters and let them help you with your daily tasks." < /p>
"In a few days, I will teach you how to make reports."
The financial work is also quite tedious. All the expenses, income, food and clothing expenses of the paper mill need to be recorded manually.
And there is no computer, so manual accounting is a big project.
Purchasing tables, staff salary tables, sales tables, etc. can drive the careless person crazy.
After receiving the task, everyone hurriedly left the conference room.
Wang Jian took Chen Gong and others to see the venue for three days.
Not only did they measure the size of the land, they also drew the construction drawings of the paper mill on site.
As Mr. Ma entered the site with about two hundred women and a dozen escorts, the construction of the paper mill officially began.
Everyone in Majiazhuang is mobilized to enter a new round of construction.
Those who build roads, those who build paper mills, those who burn bricks, those who forge iron...
