Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 457 Building a Paper Mill

When the aunt heard what she said, she complained in her heart: Why would she be willing to use toilet paper for her own household with her virtue?

I'm afraid it's watching someone buy it at a high price and want to make another fortune.

She didn't say anything, and made an appointment with the other party to go to the grocery store in the afternoon.

Like them, not only the two of them, it happened in several alleys near Wangzi Jackie Chan's grocery store.It's just that they didn't think about it, people would come to buy their toilet paper at a high price, and they would let the grocery store go?
Therefore, when they ran to Wangzi Jackie Chan's grocery store, they found that the toilet paper inside had been robbed long ago.

Not to mention toilet paper, even the paper towels that they thought were a bit expensive and didn't want to buy were sold out.

Everyone: "..."

If I knew it earlier, I would have bought more.

For a time, paper was expensive in Luoyang.

Some well-informed businessmen even asked people: "Hey, I heard that what kind of toilet paper do you have here? It is very soft to use, almost like cloth, but it is sold very cheaply, only for a catty of meat, is it true? ?”

"Which family is willing to spend a catty of meat money to buy paper? I'm afraid it's crazy." The aunt who was inquired gave him a look, "You mean, it can't be a new product in the grocery store? I heard that, It’s really useful, but don’t think about it, it’s already been sold out.”

Jackie Chan grocery store?
The man inquired about Wangzi Jackie Chan's grocery store.

Hearing that it was a matter of "cooperation", Wangzi Jackie Chan, the shopkeeper of the grocery store, asked the other party to leave the address, saying that he would tell the owner's family later, and then tell the other party when there was news.

Within a few days, Gu Qingling received a list of several pages of requests for cooperation.

Gu Qingling asked people to investigate the merchants on the list, picked a few with good strength and reputation, and reached upstream and downstream cooperation with them.

After confirming the source of materials and future sellers, Gu Qingling went to the prefect and said that he wanted to build a bigger paper mill.

The most important thing is that her paper mill needs a lot of workers, that is to say, once her paper mill is built, it will benefit the people of one side.

They can come to work in paper mills and earn money to support their families.

Gu Qingling made a calculation for the magistrate, if the paper mill needs [-] workers, then these [-] people will get an extra sum of money every month, which is a huge sum for these [-] families income.With this income, they must be more willing to buy things.

In this way, a large amount of money entering the Jinling market can revitalize the entire market economy.

"I dare not say for sure how many people my paper mill will need, but I dare say that as long as this paper mill is completed, the number of merchants who come to Jinling to buy goods will double, and when they come to buy paper, they will definitely bring Some other things... It’s impossible for Jinling not to prosper.”

In addition, Daming already has cement, and when the time comes, several arterial roads in Jinling will be repaired. In three to five years, Jinling will become the largest trading capital in this area.

If someone said that to Sun Zhifu, Sun Zhifu must have thought that the other party was joking, but the person who told him was Mrs. Yao.As soon as the other party entered Jinling, he did several important things. The most recent one was to successfully make his wife who had no good news for more than ten years become pregnant again.

Therefore, no matter what Gu Qingling said, Sun Zhifu would seriously consider it.

When the magistrate's wife heard about it, she didn't say much, and only asked the people below to send the paper towels and toilet paper produced by Yao's family for the prefect Sun to try.

"Although I don't know if this paper mill can really drive the entire Jinling market, but..." Madam Zhifu said, "Their paper is really easy to use. Whether it is paper towels or toilet paper, they are very soft and valuable. It’s not expensive, and even ordinary people can afford it.”

The magistrate's wife told the story of her servants going to ordinary people's homes and begging for paper at a high price.

It's not that there is no paper that ordinary people can't afford in the Jinling market, but the output is too low and the supply exceeds demand.If Mrs. Yao can really build a bigger paper mill to meet the consumption of the entire Jinling, their servants will not be looking for paper everywhere in the future.

This is just a special case.

But when Prefect Sun really sent someone to inquire, he found that many families in Jinling market were asking for papers everywhere.Toilet paper, which was originally cheap, became inexplicably expensive because of its scarcity.

He made some initial estimates in his mind. If all these demands are converted into the Yao family's production capacity, then...

When Gu Qingling received the message from Prefect Sun, expressing his agreement, Gu Qingling was not surprised at all.After all, what she does is "beneficial to the country and the people", but how many officials who have meritorious deeds will not agree?

Of course, due to selfishness, Gu Qingling didn't mention that the paper mill might harm the environment.She was afraid that if she mentioned it, Sun Zhifu would not agree.

The environmental problems we will face in the future are definitely not caused by one or two paper mills, but the inevitable result of the future industrial revolution.

Unless the concept of "environmental protection" is implanted in everyone's minds from the very beginning, so that everyone can stick to their responsibilities as an "environmental protector" while developing the social economy, otherwise there is no way to change this. dilemma.

What Gu Qingling has to do is not to give up eating because of choking, and to stop this matter because the paper mill will endanger the environment, but to set up the standard of "environmental protection" when doing this matter, so that the people behind will follow this path Sometimes, unconsciously abide by this standard.

In this way, when the industrial revolution comes, we can do a good job in environmental protection to the greatest extent.

After selecting the site, Gu Qingling handed over the construction of the paper mill to the new construction team that Mrs. Yao cooperated with Lou Qing, and planned to build a very novel factory in every aspect.

The paper mill is located on the outskirts of Jinling, on the lower reaches of the river. In addition to the basic paper production line, there is also a residential area for the workers.

Because it is a collective dormitory, the rooms are not particularly large, but they are divided into "male and female dormitories".

"Ah, but also for men and women?" Lou Qing looked at the drawings, a little surprised.

Gu Qingling said: "Of course it has to be divided. Not all the employees who work in the paper mill are male employees, but there are also some female employees. If you don't separate men and women in advance, it will be inconvenient for male and female employees to live together."

"But..." Lou Qing frowned slightly, and said, "Men and women can't be assigned clearly. If men and women are together, what if the reputation of women is damaged? I'm afraid your factory won't be able to open for a few days. , we have to make a fuss."

It can be said that Lou Qing became an upstart in Jinling only after he cooperated with Mrs. Yao and built a new construction team.

After becoming an upstart, Lou Qing not only became the object of welcome of the major families in Jinling, but also gained the attention of the family, so that the tide rose and all boats rose, and gained a lot of convenience.

Lou Qing attached great importance to the benefactor of the Yao family, so when he saw the blueprint and felt something was wrong, he mentioned it very directly.

He hoped that he could help his benefactor avoid some avoidable troubles.

Gu Qingling nodded: "I understand what you said, but... Mr. Lou, have you got to know those ordinary people well?"

Lou Qing looked puzzled, not quite understanding what Gu Qingling meant.
