Doulu Kuan's youngest son, Doulu Chengji, was drinking and having fun in Goulan yesterday when he heard an advertisement for a rice paper shop in Majiazhuang.
This bastard went to the Majiazhuang rice paper shop with everyone, waved his hand, and bought a total of 10,000 pieces of paper.
When Doulu Kuan saw the texture of the paper, he knew it was the paper made by Wang Jian.
Previously, Wang Jian of the Poetry Club sponsored 5,000 pieces of paper for free. This time Doulu Kuan took the initiative to send a favor.
He knew that sooner or later the imperial court would purchase rice paper from Majiazhuang on a large scale, so he was the first to propose it.
"Master Dou, is this the paper that Majiazhuang provided for the contestants during the poetry competition?" Kong Yingda asked excitedly.
"Exactly." Doulu Kuan nodded.
After Li Shimin read the rice paper, he looked at Wang Jian. After receiving a nod from the other party, he understood clearly.
Majiazhuang Rice Paper Shop is Wang Aiqing’s property.
"This paper is of high quality and low price. From now on, all rice paper used in the imperial court will be purchased from Majiazhuang."
Li Shimin made this decision directly.
The purchase of paper is allocated by the chief officials of each department. Anyway, the cost of buying paper given by the court is only a small amount.
Without Li Shimin’s advice, they would also buy paper from Majiazhuang.
"Your Majesty, according to my son, the Majiazhuang rice paper shop is extremely popular. I'm afraid it sold a million pieces of paper on the first day of business yesterday."
"My lord, too. I’m not sure how much stock the Majiazhuang rice paper shop has, maybe it’s sold out now.”
Doulu Kuan seemed to be reporting this issue to Li Shimin, but in fact he was telling other ministers the news.
Rice paper is very popular in Majiazhuang. I got there late and couldn’t buy anything.
Downward and backward.
Uninformed people, such as Zhongshu Sheng, Menxia Sheng, Liu Bu, and Jiu Si Wu Jian, immediately sent people to Majiazhuang Xuan Paper Shop to buy paper.
Doulu Kuan, the Minister of Rites, quietly went to the Yushitai to find Wang Jian.
"Wang Jian, didn't I disturb you?"
Doulu Kuan saw that Wang Jian was busy, so he said aloud.
Wang Jian was arranging the medical school curriculum when he heard Doulu Kuan’s voice and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Don't bother me. Please sit down here, Master Dou."
Wang Jian asked curiously after pouring a cup of tea for Dou Lukuan.
"Dou Shangshu, why do you have time to come to the Yushitai today?"
Today Dou Lukuan helped promote the Majiazhuang rice paper shop, which Wang Jian did not expect.
"Hey, Brother Wang, the Ministry of Rites plans to order 1 million pieces of paper from Majiazhuang."
"I am shameless today and want to go through the back door with you."
Doulu Kuan is almost 50 years oldPeople who call Wang Jian Brother Wang do not feel the slightest sense of shame.
There is no way!
The Ministry of Rites only has 2,000 yuan of financial funds to purchase paper every year.
In previous years, I would buy a small portion of white paper, and the rest of the money would be spent on yellow paper.
This is also a helpless move. If the court has no money, he can only live a careful life.
Nowadays, Majiazhuang rice paper is cheaper than yellow paper. 2,000 pieces can buy 1 million pieces of Majiazhuang rice paper, and its quality is undoubtedly the best in Tang Dynasty rice paper.
The ghost also buys yellow paper of poor quality.
"Uh..."
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment.
Before going to court, Dou Lukuan specially released the news, saying that the rice paper shop in Majiazhuang was almost sold out.
It turned out that his purpose was to let people from other departments rush to buy, and he was the first to go through the back door.
Douluan is quite old, and he usually looks honest and arrogant, but also has a lot of tricks.
"Brother Dou, you can send someone from the Ministry of Etiquette to pay the money at Majiazhuang Rice Paper Shop. Maybe they will supply you with the goods first after receiving the money."
Wang Jian said cryptically. said.
Although everyone knows that the related industries in Majiazhuang are all under Wang Jian's name.
Even Li Shimin knows it.
Since even Li Shimin acquiesced, he also supported Wang Jian's behavior.
If Wang Jian spreads it everywhere, Majiazhuang Rice Paper Shop is an industry in his name.
If he really said that, he would be impeached again tomorrow.
The result is the same, dismissal from office.
"Brother Wang, I feel relieved with your words."
Doulu Kuanxi left with a smile on his face.
Although Wang Jian said vaguely, he had already agreed to him.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
In order to prevent others from using the back door, Doulu Kuan quickly returned the money to the gift department and arranged for someone to make the order first.
An hour later, Duan Lun, Yu Shinan, Wei Zheng, Dai Zhou, Gao Shilian and others rushed over together.
Because when they sent people to the Majiazhuang rice paper shop to buy paper, they were told by the clerk that the paper had been sold out.
The next batch of paper will arrive in 6 days.
When the news came back, they were instantly anxious.
Leaving aside the people of Chang'an City, various ministries need hundreds of thousands of pieces of paper every year. Now that Majiazhuang rice paper is cheap, the demand has at least doubled.
All departments combined need to purchase at least more than 30 million pieces of paper.
Majiazhuang is a small village. They cannot produce so much paper in a year.
Everyone knows this situation, so people who have a good relationship with Wang Jian come directly through the back door..
The expressions of the gangsters at the Yushitai changed when they saw so many prime ministers looking for new Yushitai.
Many people began to worry about whether it was wrong or right to follow the censor Zhongcheng and Wang Jian against each other.
In the lobby of the Imperial Censor.
Faced with a group of prime ministers talking face to face, Wang Shen's head was big.
This group of people had a good relationship with him, and they even asked for 1 million pieces of paper, and even pulled the money over.
"My lords, can you listen to me?"
"Why don't you sign a cooperation agreement with Majiazhuang, and then you will make allocations and purchases based on the actual supply situation? ? ”
Don’t worry about scarcity but unevenness. Equal exposure to rain and dew is the best solution.
"Okay, just do what you said."
All the prime ministers agreed.
No way, who made the paper sold in Majiazhuang cheap and easy to use.
Next, Wang Jian and them determined the time and place to sign the agreement, and the rest was left to the people below to complete.
You can’t bother a bunch of prime ministers to do such a small thing.
After seeing off these big guys, Wang Jian also started to think.
According to the production speed of the paper mill, it can produce more than 3 million sheets of paper per month, which means it will produce about 40 million sheets of paper in a year.
This quantity can only meet the official demand of the imperial court.
"In addition to expanding production in Majiazhuang, we also need to build a large paper factory."
Now that paper is in short supply, Wang Jian plans to continue building new factories.
The new paper mill is located on the outskirts of Chang'an City, which can avoid long-distance transportation.
Now there is another problem before Wang Jian, and that is the manpower arrangement of the paper mill.
When it comes to confidentiality, people working in the paper mill must be trustworthy.
"It seems that we have to mobilize manpower from Majiazhuang."
Majiazhuang has plenty of manpower. If 200 couples are mobilized, there will be 400 workers. .
It has to be said that talents are the primary productive force, and only people can do things.
At noon, Wang Jian returned to the county prince's mansion.
Because Erdan and Xue Rengui are about to leave for their posts.
"Erdan, when you go to Luzhou, you must listen carefully to the master's words and put your own safety first in everything."
"I will give you 500 silver ingots later. It's not enough to send someone." Come back and tell me."
For Erdan, his biological brother, Wang Jian definitely has a better feeling for him than others.
People all have selfish motives.
"Don't worry, brother, I will write to you when I arrive in Luzhou.”
“I left this time and I don’t know when I will be back.” "
Erdan's eyes were a little red.
He has been with his eldest brother since he was a child, and his eldest brother always had his say in everything he did.
Now he wants to leave his eldest brother He felt empty in his heart and had no support.
Wang Jian hit him on the chest and said with relief.
"Don't worry, I'll be here for a year and a half." Back. ”
“When I have time, I will go over and see you.” ”
“Okay. "Erdan nodded silently.
The eldest brother holds many positions and holds a high position, so how can he leave Chang'an so easily.
These words are just to comfort him.
