Take the mall to Datang

"Fifth brother, the high-quality wood pulp has been prepared, and the cotton is ready. Do we really want to use these good things to make paper?" The craftsman who came over asked uncertainly.

"Well, what about the equipment, is there any problem?" Yang Wudao.

"No problem, everything is ready," said the craftsman.

"Then let's start making." Yang Wudao.

Dozens of people started to work. They were divided into many groups because of the realization. The concentration ratio of the pulp was strictly recorded. This kind of debugging speed is very slow, and the speed of papermaking is slower than that of Yuanjia's regular paper workshop. At least three times the time, and the consumption is huge. The separate testing and adjustment of high-quality wood pulp will increase the demand for wood and add fine cotton wool, which is very costly.

In half a month, it was like burning money. Yang Wu’s subordinates changed from dozens of people to hundreds of people. Their daily work was to make paper continuously. Make different pulps.

Finally, the finished products will be compared and various tests will be carried out, especially the differences in folding resistance, wear resistance, and sound.

And Yuan Shan is busy with the affairs of the Datang Royal Academy, and started to expand the college's enrollment. With 500 million guan, it can be spent lavishly. He notified the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce to renovate the building, notified the Cotton Chamber of Commerce to order school uniforms, sheets and bedding, and talked to Yan Lide It is said that tables, chairs, benches, beds and other items will be manufactured in batches, and the tasks will be assigned, so that the personnel of the economic and development departments in various places will distribute the news in the local state capital.

The enrollment started like this. After the plan to enroll 5000 students passed the publicity, the first batch of students directly broke through to [-]. If it were not for the consideration of funds, it would be very easy to break through [-] students.

The 8000 people refer to those who have a certain foundation, and the normal primary school education plan has already started. The first batch of enrollment is not too many. It looks like 600 people are from the surrounding villages. The children in Lantian County account for the majority, but The cost of education is very high, so this part is charged. What Yuanshan didn't expect was that more and more children were sent instead of charging.

Yuanshan attaches great importance to talents who can put into work as soon as possible. However, haste makes waste in education. No matter how anxious you are, it is impossible to let students graduate in advance. That would be counterproductive. You can do that in extraordinary times, but not now. .

"Master, it's done." Yang Wu excitedly ran to the academy to announce the good news.

"The paper is finished?" Yuan Shan was staying in the teacher's lounge watching the enrollment situation, and was very excited when he heard the news.

"Yes, this is the most capricious paper that has been researched so far. The cost of making such paper is very high, and the process is complicated..." Yang Wu said a lot, and he didn't listen to Yuan Shan at all.

Yuan Shan felt the paper for a while, the sound was crisp, and the flexibility felt good, "tearing" directly tore the paper, very willful, the paper is there, and it can be used now.

"Well, continue to study and see if the cost can be reduced. In addition, the printing and dyeing workshop asked them to speed up the research and development of fuel. You have to check it yourself. If you succeed, you will be the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty paper currency." Yuan Shan said.

"Ah, master, there is an eighty-year-old mother on the younger one, and a child who has just fallen to the ground, please let me go." Yang Wu begged immediately.

"Get up, this is a good thing, why are you crying?" Yuan Shan asked.

"Isn't it dead to be an ancestor?" Yang Wudao.

Yuan Shan really didn't want to be amused by him. It's not scary to be uneducated. What I'm most afraid of is a funny guy with great potential.

"I'll give you another month. I want to use this paper in the money bank, but the production process must be kept secret, and no leaks are allowed." Yuan Shan emphasized.

"Master, don't worry, the paper-making experimental workshop works according to the distribution system, each link is processed independently, and the personnel are separated. As long as one link is missing, no one of them can make paper." Yang Wu affirmed.

"Well, the confidentiality system must be done well. The use of these papers by the money bank is the most critical place. There must be no unregistered paper on the market." Yuan Shan continued.

"Yes." Yang Wudao.

"Every piece of paper that is printed must be reviewed." Yuan Shan added.

"Yes." Yang Wudao.

Seeing that Yuanshan attaches so much importance to it, he can't be negligent. He made up his mind that he must follow the strictest standards after returning home, and strictly keep secrets to prevent the workers from leaking out. He also plans to separate all the staff dormitories. .

Rebuild the paper workshop.

Yuan Shan did not live up to his rigorous attitude, which allowed him to get the due report, and then the Yuanjia Papermaking Workshop spent 200 million guan in less than a month.

Chang’an Money Bank, the newly-launched bills in arrears have been changed compared to the current ones, reducing some verification procedures and speeding up work efficiency, but the business behind it has increased. Every time a large amount of money bill is issued, the money bank will have a grade The ticket number, combined with the special paper, makes it easy to distinguish.

They are all fixed amounts. As long as someone brings the money over and counts it, the process of registering and issuing tickets is very fast. A password system has also been added. After the money ticket is matched, the confirmation of the password is required to receive the money. Same function as a check.

For non-personal withdrawals in other places, the withdrawer needs to re-withdraw information, and the password is a triple password, which is different for different people, so the trustworthiness of withdrawals is greatly enhanced.

The basic business has not changed. Large-amount bills are the most convenient for transactions in different places. The new paper will become an important proof of anti-counterfeiting.

As for small-denomination banknotes, Yuanshan is still planning. Issuing coins is not that simple. Printing and dyeing anti-counterfeiting technology is still under study. Most of the 200 million coins invested recently have expanded the construction of Yuanjia Workshop. The equipment is still being processed, and the research and development of dyes seems to be enough for a while.

However, there is some good news from Datang Royal Academy, which made up for some mood.

Chapter 971 The Opening Ceremony

The enrollment of the Royal Academy is extremely hot, not to mention the adult males, even the elementary school enrollment is much more than expected, and the tuition fees will accumulate more if there are more people. This will not only save a lot of money, but basically make you rich.

Even though the tuition fee has been controlled to be very low, but the crazy students can't stand to sign up. Yuanshan didn't set up any messy high-fee elite classes, because if that happens, the Royal Academy of Tang Dynasty will become a den for the rich in the future. It means that if you have money, you can receive the best education in Datang.

Yuanshan's system is that elementary school is casual, but professional courses such as advanced mathematics require strict examinations if you want to study, and you can only join based on your ability, otherwise the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty would never open such an opening.

So it doesn't matter how many people there are, and it doesn't matter if the rich want to spend more money. They can spend it, and they can choose to sponsor the academy, but it's all voluntary.

Does His Majesty the Tang Dynasty act according to the face of the rich? Does the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty depend on the face of the rich to run a school? Those who have made contributions to the Datang Royal Academy have also set up a contribution wall, and those who make the most contributions every year will have their explanations and deeds displayed on the wall.

It's just a show of vanity. The news has been released. It's terrible. Rich merchants from Chang'an have rushed to send their children. Both men and women can go to school. This is Yuan Shan's rule. There are many wealthy people, most of whom are wealthy businessmen. In order to express gratitude for their contributions, Lie specially invited court painters to hang portraits of their outstanding contributions in the contribution building for people to watch.

All of a sudden, several wealthy businessmen became famous, and because of this, the business at home has improved a lot. Businessmen in local state capitals are respectful and polite when talking about this matter, and their business trust has increased accordingly.

As a result, the merchants were even more inspired to spend money on the sense of honor, while the income of the academy not only did not decrease, but the money increased. Seeing that the money allocated by the court was almost earned back, I really lamented the madness of blind obedience in education.

Yuan Shan didn't stop him, there's nothing wrong with everyone having what they need, besides, businessmen are not stupid, their reputation outside is a real signboard, and money is not spent in vain, otherwise why would they give money.

No one is a fool, it's just how much profit they earn back. Yuanshan's family just spent 200 million guan, and he was in a normal mood at first, but after hearing the report from the person in charge of the Datang Royal Academy, he smiled happily.

He was happy, but Yu Jingming encountered a problem. The Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty transferred all the elite backbones of the economic and development department, all of whom were masters in mathematics. If the number of people was reduced, the workload of the remaining people would be heavy, and the economic and development department The workload is too great, and many people who work overtime continuously are about to collapse.

Even if Yu Jingming paid them high overtime pay, they were helpless, and the efficiency of the headquarters of the Economic Development Department began to stagnate. In desperation, Yu Jingming could only transfer personnel from the Economic Development Departments in various districts to fill the positions. .

The Ministry of Economic Development is facing challenges in terms of personnel. At this time, Yu Jingming's strategy is to transfer manpower from various districts, and to appropriately delay the "expansion" of the Ministry of Economic Development in Datang, which can ease the dispatch of talents. It is time for the local economic and development departments to consolidate the corresponding business, and the other is to complete all the projects that can be completed now.

Just like fighting a war, rushing too fast can easily lose the cooperation and help of comrades behind, and rushing slowly will drag other people down, so everyone starts at a speed, go fast together, and slow together, so that we can take care of each other.

Half a month later, the Ministry of Economic Development added some more and continued to work.

Datang Royal Academy, the start of the school season has begun, and the speed of renovation and custom-made seats and benches has been completed during this period of time by gathering the strength of the entire Chang'an, and the number of students has directly reached an astonishing 7000.

There are 8000 adult males, and the rest are all children under the age of ten, and girls account for a part.

The male dormitory and the female dormitory are all separated. The dormitory of Datang Medical College has been separated for a long time. The school is very experienced in the matter of living in school. The new school uniform is easy to recognize after wearing it. The embroidered name of the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty is very clear.

Yuan Shan held the opening ceremony for them on the square of the business center.

The new microphone can spread farther, and the sound is more real. Yuan Shan stood in front of the stage and picked up the microphone and said excitedly: "You have started a new life path when you come here, study hard, knowledge changes destiny, knowledge changes In the future, you still have a long way to go. There is no limit to the sea of ​​learning and hard work, and the mountain of books has roads and diligence. Your efforts will achieve you. You are the hope of Datang and the future of Datang. Children, Time is like an arrow, it flies by in the blink of an eye, cherish the present, cherish the time of study, cherish yourselves, welcome everyone to Datang Royal Academy, let us swear to study for the rise of Datang, and study for the development of Datang, Study for the peace of the Tang Dynasty."

"Study for the rise of the Tang Dynasty, study for the development of the Tang Dynasty, and study for the peace of the Tang Dynasty." Regardless of whether the students understood what it meant, they all shouted in unison at this time, and then shouted three times.

"Please ask the teachers of each classroom to bring the students of their own class back to the classroom in order." Yuan Shan continued.

The school season is coming to an end soon, and Ma He is watching everything under the table. He will go back to report to the emperor later on. He is quite satisfied at the moment. He thought the school opening ceremony would take a long time, but he did not expect it to end so soon. up.

"Mr. Lan, the miscellaneous family will go back to the palace first. By the way, this old servant will chatter again. Don't forget what His Majesty told you." Ma He said.
