Confucius called Li Er aside and prepared to talk to him alone!
"Confucius, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Shopkeeper Li, this matter is very important. Only Shopkeeper Li can arrange the manpower to handle it personally!"
ah?
When Li Er heard this, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Confucius with uncertainty.
Confucius actually said that he had to arrange this matter himself?
"Confucius, what do you want to say to me? You look mysterious?"
"Shopkeeper Li, have you ever heard of papermaking and movable type printing?"
"Papermaking and movable type printing?"
I know the art of papermaking myself, but isn’t the paper being made today all the result of papermaking?
I knew about printing, but I didn’t understand what the movable type was like!
Confucius looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then told Li Er all the words that his grandson-in-law said to him in Shandong.
When Li Er heard this, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Kong Xian with great uncertainty!
"I said Confucius, what you said is true. Is this really what my good brother said?"
"Shopkeeper Li, there is no need for me to joke with you about this matter.
This matter was indeed told to me personally by my grandson-in-law.
Originally, he planned to open the paper mill and printing factory in Shandong.
But I think it would be more appropriate for Shopkeeper Li to resolve this matter personally."
As he spoke, Confucius smiled knowingly, full of laughter, and his meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Li Er showed that he understood instantly.
Confucius still knows himself very well, and he must control such an important weapon of the country in his own hands.
Of course, I also understand what Confucius meant by this sentence!
"Don't worry, Confucius, I will wait until I have mastered all the techniques of papermaking and movable type printing.
I will immediately start construction around Zhaojiazhuang. At that time, you will directly arrange the books.
I will give you full authority to arrange everything for you.
At that time, you can print as many books as you want, and you can print whatever you want."
"Hahaha, shopkeeper Li is quite interesting."
When dealing with smart people, you don't need to say too many words.
As long as some main meanings are explained, everything will become clear.
"Hahahaha, Confucius, if that's the case, then I have full authority to arrange this matter."
Originally, I had just thought about leaving this place and going to Chang'an City.
Because of what Confucius said, Li Er had to change his direction and rushed to Zhuangzi to find Zhao Mu and ask about this sentence.
Hearing his question, Old Li, Zhao Mu nodded.
Li Er smiled slightly and responded directly to the matter.
"Don't worry, dear brother, I, Lao Li, have full authority to make arrangements regarding the paper mill and printing factory.
By the way, in addition to this, I also want to tell you that regarding the blacksmith shop and the brewery, I have also arranged manpower to make preparations.
After the brewery is arranged, the porcelain factory will also start preparations.
At that time, the forged ironware and wine will be divided into three, six or nine grades according to the proportion.
At that time, the wine and ironware that will be manufactured will increase as the business expands and its scope increases.
In this way, we can get all the money in our hands according to the upper, middle and lower methods."
As he spoke, Li Er's old face showed a smile, looking at Zhao Mu with a cheerful look.
"I said, Lao Li, how wide is your business scope now?
You don’t just want to sell food, you have arranged so many aspects in all aspects, can you do it alone?"
When asked by Zhao Mu, Li Er smiled awkwardly and then nodded!
"My dear brother, you can worry about other things, but don't worry about this aspect.
Since I, Lao Li, said it can be arranged, this matter can definitely be arranged."
While we were chatting, why did this topic lead to embarrassing issues again?
Actually, I really want to tell him something: I lack everything, but the only thing I don't lack is people.
At that time, we can expand the manpower and make more arrangements. Besides, this place is located in Zhaojiazhuang. As long as a few people are arranged to come over, everything can be planned as a whole.
At that time, all you need to do is send a large number of guards to guard the place, and everything else is just a cloud!
"Ahem, brother, please don't worry about this matter. I, Lao Li, have full authority to resolve the matter!"
"I want to say, Lao Li, you must grasp this level and remember to arrange things well within your own capabilities!"
"Don't worry, dear brother, I will go to the dental shop to buy more manpower when the time comes.
There is a shortage of everything these days, except for people, and there are many capable people, so don’t worry!”
When Zhao Mu heard this, he nodded. He knew these things, so let him arrange them!
"Brother, please see if you can help me with papermaking and movable type printing."
"Don't worry, just wait for me here!"
As he spoke, Zhao Mu got up and left, went to the back room, took out two books and handed them over.
The name of the book is Papermaking from Beginner to Master, and the book Movable Type Printing is from Beginner to Master.
Li Er took it, opened it and looked at it carefully!
Yes, yes, the content above is written very clearly.
Moreover, this papermaking technology seems to be more advanced than the existing papermaking technology in the Tang Dynasty, and the paper produced is whiter and better.
"There is also a method for making toilet paper. I asked you, dear brother, is the toilet paper you Zhuangzi uses made in this way?"
They all used toilet chips after using the toilet. Only Li Er came to Zhaojiazhuang and used toilet paper after using the toilet.
Just asking you, how powerful a family must be to be able to afford it?
So after that, Zhaojiazhuang became the place where I purchased goods.
Every time I come here, I will arrange some toilet paper and bring it to the palace.
My butt has turned to gold and I no longer use toilet chips.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Toilet paper smells so good!
Zhao Mu nodded!
"Oh, dear brother, after you said that, I suddenly found another good idea.
We can definitely sell toilet paper.
This market is infinitely large, and over there in Chang'an City, there are many rich nobles and nobles.
Are they short of money? They are not short of money. What they are short of is the toilet paper they arranged themselves.
Just arrange for all the toilet paper to be sold there.
By that time, doesn’t this mean that I will make more money?
There are many rich families in Chang'an City. Do they care about the money?
What people care about is this kind of luxurious enjoyment.
As long as these things are properly arranged, who else is there?
Speaking of these things, Li Er's face showed a smile, as if he saw countless money waving to him again.
"Hahahaha, Lao Li, I really didn't realize that you are so talented in business now.
Yes, this is exactly what you said.
In fact, there are many things that can extend a lot of money.
As long as you want to make money, there is a chance to make money.
But remember, you must not rush this matter.
As the old saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu if you're anxious. You have to do this step by step, so don't be anxious!"
Li Er heard this and nodded heavily!
"Brother, of course I know what you are talking about, so don't worry.
Don't worry, I will definitely be able to arrange these things properly.
I still have to earn a small amount of money, so my hands are cramping, so I have to arrange this matter in place."
I understand these things instantly!
After finishing all arrangements here, I exchanged a few words with Zhao Mu.
Ask someone to drive a small carriage, leave Zhaojiazhuang, and rush towards Chang'an City!
Arriving at Chang'an City, I came to the palace and called Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling over!
According to His Majesty's decree, the two of them each arranged a place in Chang'an City to work hard and make money.
And this morning, His Majesty did not convene the morning court. You don't need to think about it. You must know that His Majesty has something to do and is busy.
"Keming, Xuanling, I called you to the palace today because there is an important matter that I want to arrange for you two to handle.
Put whatever you are doing on your hands aside for a moment.
I will arrange for you to go to Zhaojiazhuang and assist the auxiliary machinery in arranging all the remaining factories."
"It's Your Majesty, but Your Majesty, I don't know what the remaining factories mean?"
Li Er took out the two books that came with him and handed them over, letting the two of them look at them carefully.
When the two of them read all the contents of the book, everyone looked shocked and looked at His Majesty with doubts on their faces.
"Your Majesty, this? This?"
"Yes, I got these two books from Zhaojiazhuang.
Just asking you two after watching it, are you surprised or surprised?
You feel that if these two books are handed over to you, after arranging the paper factory and printing factory.
Can you two make proper arrangements for me and print more books?"
The two looked at each other and saluted quickly! "
Your Majesty, if Your Majesty leaves this matter to us, we will definitely make a lot of paper and books for Your Majesty.
So that none of my students in Datang can use it!"
"Hahahaha, those who know me are Keming, Xuanling, you two.
You are worthy of being my right-hand man, not bad, not bad!"
As His Majesty's confidants, they also know what His Majesty intends to do with these arrangements.
Nowadays, the imperial examination system is being implemented, but the positions represented by this imperial examination system are mostly controlled by a group of large families.
On the other hand, every time after the imperial examination system ended, there were very few ordinary people and poor disciples.
In the final analysis, their IQ is actually no different from that of the descendants of those big families.
But books and all aspects are not as controlled as those big families.
If we are talking about a group of children from poor families like them, if there are enough books for them to study.
Li Er believes that this group of people will not be worse than others.
