The first thousand eight hundred and forty-six chapters feel really cool
Once another civilization begins to develop, many new industries will surely breed, and some previously inconspicuous industries will begin to grow. This is certain.
In the printing industry, newspapers are the biggest beneficiaries at present.
At this time, Beixiang was overcrowded, not because of the good business. Now the entire Tang Dynasty is still recovering, and the people have no consumption capacity. Most of the people who come here come to apply for jobs.
Moreover, almost all the people who came to apply for the job were dismissed officials. Some of the officials from the gentry had already returned to their hometowns. When they returned home, they could be gentry and local lords. This is why the gentry could limit the imperial power in the past, but I didn't need you to give me this food. In terms of status, it was relatively equal. Later bureaucracy, that is, the imperial power was supreme. It is true that they would eat the king's fortune and share the worries of the king. If they left the emperor, they would basically die.
But there are still many officials, especially lower-level officials. There is no large area of land waiting for them at home. They have to make a living, otherwise they will not be able to survive.
It just so happened that Feng Feilou posted an announcement recently to recruit wise men, mainly the editor-in-chief of Datang Daily and the printing workshop.
The editor-in-chief does what he does, just writes articles. Those dismissed officials can't do anything, but they are all good at writing articles. This position is immediately pursued by these unemployed men, at least it is also a job as a pen, and it is not embarrassing to say it out.
This is also a perfect match. In fact, Han Yi has never had any talented people who write good articles. He wants to become an official with such talent. He relies entirely on content to attract readers. His writing style is actually very ordinary.
This is even more true for printing workshops. Although the development is fast, the expansion is slower. This is because not many people can read literacy, and Chang'an is like this. There is no need to say much about the local area. This layout requires literacy.
Of course, those young and capable Jinshi are still waiting for the tax bureau and the patent bureau to recruit people, and they still hope to become officials.
It can be seen that they really have no vision. They have read books from all these years into the dog's belly.
Feng Feilou.
"My benefactor!"
"Sit down."
After Sang Mu sat down, Han Yi asked, "How is the signboard?"
Sang Mu smiled and said, "In the past, we found someone who reads words, but I don't know how difficult it was. It was because we recruited some singing girls and then gradually grew stronger. But today, there are still talents for us to choose from, which is really."
Speaking of the latter, Sang Mu was already smiling from ear to ear.
Han Yi nodded and said, "Try to recruit more. Our Tang Daily has been entrenched in Chang'an for so many years, and it is time to go out."
"I know."
Sang Mu suddenly remembered something again and said, "My benefactor, are you free today?"
Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?"
Sang Mu said: "Recently, a craftsman named Jiang Shuiqing, who was under our command, invented a brand new rammed earth more than two years ago. After research and improvement over the past two years, I think it is really good. If my benefactor has time, he can take a look."
Han Yi said depressedly: "I invented it more than two years ago, and you only told me now?"
Sang Mu said: "You are very busy at that time. I have not reported this to you. It happened that these days, you are digging a septic tank later. We are planning to try the new rammed earth."
"Any invention is not a trivial matter. If it weren't for these things, our Fengfei Tower would have gone bankrupt long ago."
Han Yi stood up and suddenly said curiously: "Duti tank?"
Sang Mu hurriedly said, "My benefactor, have you forgotten the flush toilet? Recently, the clay workshop is fully promoting this flush toilet. Many wealthy families are rushing to buy it first, so we plan to get a few."
"If you don't say it, I really forgot about it. The clay reaction was a little slower. It's been several years since he took it out."
"My benefactor, this cannot be blamed on clay. When he was planning to sell toilets, the court suddenly issued a new policy, and it ended up being in trouble for several years."
“That’s true.”
Han Yi nodded and thought, it turns out that it’s all my fault! He said impatiently: “Let’s go, go and have a look.”
Sang Mu immediately took Han Yi to the yard at the end of Feng Fei Building. This was originally a yard with miscellaneous items, and the next door was the cottage. Sang Mu planned to transform this place into a new thatched cottage and the next door into a cottage. In this way, it would not affect everyone's life. After all, there are too many people in Feng Fei Building and lack of design. You can't just make the toilet inside the house like Han Yi's manor. Han Yi's room is not good, because Han Yi's bedroom is much smaller than Mengsi and others. Sang Mu always proposed to change Han Yi's big room, but Han Yi believes that he doesn't always live here and there is no need to change rooms.
At this time, a group of people squatting by a pit and gesturing. When they saw Han Yi coming, they hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Owner, chief manager."
Han Yi smiled and said, "I heard that you have recently invented a new rammed earth, so I came over and take a look."
A man with a vicissitudes of life quickly walked out and pointed to the edge of the pit and said, "Master, look, this is the latest rammed earth invented by the villain."
This man is Jiang Shuiqing, who is in his early thirties, but he looks the same as he is in his forties or fifties.
Han Yi looked along, blinked and said, "Cement?"
"ah?"
Jiang Shuiqing was stunned.
Han Yi quickly walked to the pile of soil, looked carefully, and said to himself, "It's cement, there's no mistake." As he said that, he turned around and looked at Jiang Shuiqing and said, "Is this what you invented?"
"Is it a villain invented."
Jiang Shuiqing was very nervous when she saw Han Yi’s reaction!
Han Yi said curiously: "How did you think of it?"
Jiang Shuiqing was a little scared by Han Yi and explained stutteringly.
It turned out that his father was a craftsman who specialized in tomb construction, so he knew very well about stones. However, when he was a child, he didn't want to build a tomb, so he went to work as a potter, but he didn't develop much in pottery, so he later came to the construction team of Fengfei Tower.
In recent years, they had nothing to do, so they wandered around. One day, he passed by a small river near an iron ore and found a strange kind of soil stuck to the geese warm stone by the river. It was very tight and hard. He was very surprised. The stickiness was too amazing. So he looked for the reason and finally found that it was a mixture of lime, iron slag, and sand.
However, he had research on stone and worked as a potter. He was also very familiar with calcination and he made this cement in one fell swoop.
"I see."
Han Yi nodded. He was surprised. It was not entirely because of cement. It was because this cement was already very advanced. In fact, any invention was improved step by step. After he said this, it was not difficult to understand why the cement he invented was so advanced. Because there must be slag near the iron ore, and perhaps clay. Both key materials have become ready-made and there is no need to look for it or think about it. Suddenly, Jiang Shuiqing's hands were rotten and said, "Did your hands be made by studying this new rammed earth?"
Jiang Shuiqing nodded and shrank his hand awkwardly.
Han Yi smiled and said, "You use your hands to bring wealth to our Fengfeilou. I promise you here, even if you lose your hands, I will make you rich forever." As he said, he said to Sangmu again: "I remember that we seem to have some properties in Chongrenfang?"
Sang Mu nodded and said, "There are three small courtyards."
"Give one of them to Jiang Shuiqing, and give him a hundred stale money as a reward, and he will be promoted to the material manager of our construction team, and his salary will be tripled."
"I see."
Sang Mu nodded, his face was dull, and he was ready.
Jiang Shuiqing was confused. He never thought that he was very satisfied with his current life. The Fengfeilou construction team has become a proprietor, and can be regarded as a small middle class. He himself built a new house in the suburbs. In recent years of turmoil, Fengfeilou still paid them as a salary, but there were no bonuses. At this moment, Han Yi directly made him surpass the class of the little landlords. Chongrenfang is a concentration of wealthy businessmen in Chang'an. The houses there are the most expensive, and the small landlords can't afford them.
Sang Mu coughed lightly and said, "You might as well thank the boss."
Jiang Shuiqing was stunned suddenly, and she burst into tears, burst into tears, and kept bent down at Han Yi, unable to say a word.
"Okay, okay, this is all you deserve."
Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Oh, everyone who participated in the research and development of this new rammed earth will be rewarded with twenty coins."
Being rich means being willful!
Sang Mu nodded with a smile. It doesn’t matter if Sang Mu rewards these people for money, because these craftsmen came to Fengfei Tower very early.
Even so, the craftsmen around them still flashed with envious eyes. Although twenty silos are quite good, compared to Jiang Shuiqing's reward, it is not worth mentioning.
Han Yi smiled and said, "You remember too, I still have two houses in Chongrenfang."
The other craftsmen smiled embarrassedly.
It feels so good to be taken first! Han Yi smiled secretly. In fact, he kept covering the cement and didn't do it. He was just waiting for this crisis to break out to stimulate employment. Moreover, he could use this to promote the urban economy with all his might. Cement is very helpful for urban construction. It doesn't matter in the countryside. It's much more comfortable to live in a wooden house in the countryside. But he didn't expect that Jiang Shuiqing was intercepted by this moment, but he felt very happy. He made it out by himself just for the sake of planning, and it wouldn't be so cool.
Because his skills come from later generations, he can deceive people but cannot deceive himself. He will not think that he is so smart. After all, this was not invented by him. He just used it, but he felt very happy when his subordinates invented it.
Han Yi suddenly said: "The secret recipe for this new rammed earth has not been spread, right?"
Sang Mu hurriedly said, "My benefactor, please rest assured. Only Jiang Shuiqing and two foremen know about the secret recipe, and it has not been spread."
Han Yi nodded and said, "Keep it confidential first, I will keep it useful."
"yes."
Han Yi said again: "Go and take a look at the toilet."
Sang Mu brought Han Yi to the house again and saw that the porcelain toilet with a very beautiful, bright and patterned pattern was placed in the corner of the wall.
"Fuck me! Taoci won't use this toilet as a work of art, right?" Han Yi looked at it carefully.
"My bet, this is the best toilet sold in clay workshops at present. It is expensive, and the average toilet is the kind of maroon red."
"When did you become so generous?"
"This was invented by your benefactor, so of course we have to buy the best one. Oh, the clay has also specially made several very exquisite toilets for you. The toilets can't be bought even if you have money. They have already been sent. I was preparing to replace them with my benefactor's manor. Also, Jiang Shuiqing thought that the water tank could be placed on the roof, which would be larger and convenient for pouring water. At the same time, this new rammed earth could be used."
