"Lang Jun, we can produce about 10,000 copies tomorrow."
Cheng Yiran shook his head slightly.
It's not that there's not enough paper supply, it's that with the existing manpower, they can only print 10,000 copies.
"Thirty-six thousand copies?"
Li Mo sighed. It seemed that it was almost impossible for the codex to satisfy all the merchants who wanted to do the copybook business at once. The only option was to set a supply limit for the merchants first, and then release it when there was stock later.
"By the way, how is the construction of Moran Book Club outside the county seat going? How long will it take?"
After a pause, Li Mo turned to look at Li Zhe beside him.
Cheng Yiran will definitely move out and cannot live in Zhang Yuanwai's mansion forever. Moreover, according to the plan, all the buildings in the old town of the county will be demolished step by step.
Then build an inner city.
"Lord, in three days at the latest, the book club, wine shop and showroom will be completed. It should not delay the printing of manuscripts."
Hearing this, Li Zhe said hurriedly.
"Huh? Three days? So fast?"
Li Mo was stunned.
It was said that it was only four or five days before the construction of the inn and restaurant outside the city started. I thought it would take a long time, but now it is said that it can be completed in three days.
There is absolutely nothing to say about this speed.
"Lord, if the book club hadn't been so large, it might not even have taken three days!"
Speaking of the outskirts of the county, Li Zhe couldn't help but sigh.
There is no shortage of land on the outskirts of the county, so the restaurants and inns built are all of the highest standards, even compared to those in Chang'an and Luoyang.
In addition, Yibo Building is not short of money, and the wages paid to the workers every day are paid daily, which makes the workers extremely motivated.
in addition,
There are also two top experts, Wang Changling and Li Taibai, helping out. How can the speed be so slow?
What surprised Li Zhe even more was that since the capture of Ke Yi and the county town Hu Luo, some people came outside the city every day who took the initiative to help with work. This resulted in a circle of buildings rising outside the county town in just a few days.
Looking at it from a high altitude at this moment,
This circle of new buildings has completely surrounded the original city wall and looks more like a new city wall.
However, it will take some time for the peripheral area to become lively.
Throughout the ages, in the hearts of ordinary people, the city is inside the city wall, and the suburbs are outside it.
Unless the walls of the outer city are also built, then people will probably slowly accept these restaurants and inns.
"Okay, let's go there tomorrow and have a look."
"Yes! Lord!"
...
It was almost Haishi when we returned to the county government office. As soon as Li Mo walked in, Zhou Yurou greeted him.
"Husband, look...is this true?"
She held a round embroidery frame in her hand and looked very excited.
"this...."
After taking it and taking a look, Li Mo couldn't help but look at Zhou Yurou.
It is said that a few nights ago, he taught Zhou Yurou the specific stitching techniques and techniques of Jiangnan double-sided embroidery. Although he understood the techniques in his mind, he might not be able to do it if he was actually asked to do it.
Therefore, Zhou Yurou could only explore it on her own.
Looking at the embroidered cloth in hand, it is really no different from modern Jiangnan double-sided embroidery.
On one side are colorful peonies, and on the other side are kingfishers spreading their wings, which looks very magical.
"Madam, it's just like this, not bad at all. By the way, how many embroidery techniques like this were there in the Tang Dynasty?"
After regaining consciousness, Li Mo asked again.
Jiangnan embroidery was put into practice by Zhou Yurou, but we still have to see if the Tang Dynasty can accept it. Only those dignitaries accept it... Only the silk purchased from silk merchants has a place to go.
"Husband, this kind of craftsmanship is unique in the Tang Dynasty. If it is sold... it will definitely be favored by high-ranking officials and nobles, and the price will not be low. It is not a problem to sell a set of silk embroidered clothes for hundreds of taels."
After receiving Li Mo's affirmation, Zhou Yurou was in a good mood and replied immediately.
As a lady in the residence of the Minister of Etiquette, Zhou Yurou naturally knows the embroidery level and mainstream embroidery techniques of those noble ladies.
This kind of double-sided embroidery is so amazing that if her husband hadn't provided the method, she would never have imagined that she could do it like this.
In the Tang Dynasty,
Many high-ranking officials thought it was expensive and bought embroidery noodles at embroidery shops and then took them back to make their own clothes.
No embroidery shop in Chang'an City can reach this level.
As you can imagine, once this kind of embroidered noodles appears in Chang'an City, it will definitely be snapped up.
"That's good. I'll leave the embroidery workshop to my wife. I'll find some reliable embroidery workers to work with you tomorrow. You can teach them the techniques of double-sided embroidery.
Try to make embroidered cloth as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Li Mo was convinced.
Since Zhou Yurou approves, there should be no problem in all likelihood.
As for the embroidery workers, Li Mo had already made plans. These embroidery workers must be loyal to him and make a blood oath.
Only in this way can we ensure that the embroidery craftsmanship is not leaked out.
What is the most profitable?
It must be a monopoly business with unique craftsmanship.
"Um!"
Zhou Yurou nodded heavily.
Ever since she left Chang'an, she always felt like she was being held back, not even as good as the servants around Li Mo, not to mention Yi Bo Lou's help to her husband.
Therefore, in Zhou Yurou's heart, Li Mo owed Yibo Lou a huge favor.
Now that she finally saw the hope of returning favors to Yi Bo Lou, she was naturally excited.
"You have become familiar with it these days. When the embroidery workshop outside the city is built, you will go there."
"Everything must be subject to your husband's arrangements."
.......
No words for a whole night,
The next day, the sun rises,
Ruyang,Xikou,
Looking at the steady stream of young laborers coming from the county, the Dionysian Zhang Xu felt a little dazed for a moment.
"General Qin? What's going on?"
Looking back, he couldn't help but look at Qin Fang.
After meeting Li Mo, he and Gong Shuhai came to the west entrance of Ruyang to take charge of the construction of the pass.
In two days, thousands of laborers went into battle,
Under the auspices of Gong Shuhai, the foundation of the pass has been repaired, and stones that have been polished into square shapes from the stone yard have been continuously transported here.
Next was the time to officially start the work, and as a result, a lot of people suddenly came in at this time.
"Sir, we have just sent people to ask... They are all Ruyang people who volunteered to help."
Qin Fang had a look of emotion on his face.
Throughout the ages, people have been afraid to avoid corvee military service. However, the people of Ruyang are so good. Although they are not forced to do so, they come to work on their own initiative.
Looking around, there were at least two to three thousand people coming.
"Volunteer to help?"
Zhang Xu nodded thoughtfully,
"It seems that my lord's prestige in the hearts of the people is no longer comparable to that of others."
"Well, I have sent a letter to the lord before. The lord said that as long as the common people participate in the work, whether they are previously employed or voluntary, each person will receive twenty coins per day.
Therefore... Mr. Gongshu, please feel free to hire people."
Qin Fang turned to look at Gongshu Ban again.
"That's good! The more manpower there is to build the pass, the better. With the addition of these two to three thousand laborers, the progress can be faster."
