Chapter 458 Construction of paper factory
When the aunt heard her say this, she complained in her heart: Why is she willing to use toilet paper for her own household use?
I'm afraid I'm watching someone buy it at a high price and want to make another profit.
She didn't say anything, and made an appointment with the other party to go to the grocery store in the afternoon.
There are not only two of them like them, but several alleys near the grocery store. But they never thought that if they come to buy their toilet paper at high prices, they would leave the grocery store?
Therefore, when they ran to the Grocery Store, they found that the toilet paper inside had already been snatched up by others.
Not to mention toilet paper, even the tissues they thought were a bit expensive and didn't want to buy were sold out.
Everyone: "..."
If I had known this, I would have bought more.
For a time, Luoyang paper was expensive.
Some well-informed businessmen also asked people: "Hey, I heard that you have any toilet paper here? It is very soft to use, just like cloth, but it sells very cheaply, and it costs just one pound of meat. Isn't it true?"
"Which company is willing to buy paper with a pound of meat? I'm afraid it's not crazy." The old lady who was asked glared at him, "You are talking about it, it's not the new product in the grocery store, right? I heard that it's really useful, but don't think about it, it's been bought out long ago."
Want your son to be a good grocery store?
The man found out that he wanted to be the best grocery store.
When I heard that it was a matter of "cooperation", I hoped that the shopkeeper of the grocery store asked the other party to leave an address, and said back and told the owner that he would tell the other party if there was news.
Within a few days, Gu Qingling received a few pages of a list of cooperation requests.
Gu Qingling asked someone to investigate the businessmen on the list, picked a few of them with good strength and credit, and reached upstream and downstream cooperation with them.
After determining the source of materials and future sellers, Gu Qingling went to the prefect and said that she wanted to set up a larger paper mill.
The most important thing is that her paper mill requires a large number of workers, which means that once her paper mill is built, it can benefit the people.
They can work in paper mills and earn money to support their families.
Gu Qingling did some calculations for the prefect. If the paper mill needs one hundred workers, then these hundred people can get an extra money every month. For these hundred families, this is a huge income. With this income, they will definitely be more willing to buy things.
In this way, a large amount of money enters the Jinling market and can revitalize the entire market economy.
"I dare not make a promise, saying how many people I want in the paper mill, but I dare say that as long as this paper mill is built, the number of merchants who come to Jinling to purchase goods will double. When they come to buy paper, they will definitely bring other things... In this way, it is impossible for Jinling to not prosper."
In addition, the Ming Dynasty already had cement, and then several main roads in Jinling will be repaired. In three to five years, Jinling will become the largest trading capital in this area.
If someone else said this to the prefect Sun, the prefect Sun would definitely think that the other party was joking, but the person he told him was Old Lady Yao. As soon as the other party entered Jinling, he did several major things. The most recent one was that his wife, who had not had good news for more than ten years, was pregnant again.
Therefore, no matter what Gu Qingling said, Prefect Sun would seriously consider it.
When the prefect heard that this was the case, the lady of the prefect didn't say much, and asked the people below to send the tissues and toilet paper produced by the Yao family and let the prefect Sun try it.
"Although I don't know if this paper mill can really drive the entire Jinling market,..." said the prefect's wife. "Their paper is really easy to use. Whether it is tissues or toilet paper, it is very soft and not expensive, and even ordinary people can afford it."
The wife of the prefect told the story of the servants at home to ordinary people and asking for papers at high prices.
There is not a single paper in the Jinling market that ordinary people cannot afford, but the output is too low and the supply is in short supply. If Old Lady Yao can really build a larger paper mill to meet the consumption of the entire Jinling, their family members will not look for people everywhere to ask for paper in the future.
This is the case for one family, just an exception.
But when the prefect Sun really sent someone to inquire, he found that many families were looking for papers on the market in Jinling. The toilet paper, which was originally cheap, became inexplicably priced because of the sparse quantity.
He had some preliminary estimates in his mind. If all these demands were converted into the production capacity of the Yao family, then...
When Gu Qingling received a message from Prefect Sun and expressed her agreement, Gu Qingling was not surprised at all. After all, what she did was "benefit the country and the people". How many officials who were willing to make contributions would not agree?
Of course, because of her selfishness, Gu Qingling did not mention that setting up a paper mill might harm the environment. She was afraid that she would mention it, so Magistrate Sun would not agree.
The environmental problems faced in the future are definitely not caused by one or two paper mills, but are the inevitable result of the future industrial revolution.
Unless the concept of "environmental protection" is implanted into everyone's hearts at the beginning, so that everyone can stick to their responsibilities as "environmental protection persons" while developing the social economy, there is no way to change this dilemma.
What Gu Qingling wants to do is not to stop eating because of the choke, because the paper mill will harm the environment and prevent this matter. Instead, when doing this, establish the standard of "environmental protection" so that the people behind will unconsciously abide by this standard when they follow this path.
In this way, when the industrial revolution comes, we can do a good job in environmental protection to the greatest extent.
After choosing the site, Gu Qingling handed over the construction of the paper mill to the new construction team jointly with Mrs. Yao and Lou Qing, preparing to build a factory that is very novel in any aspect.
The paper mill is located in the suburbs of Jinling, downstream of the river. In addition to the basic paper production lines, there are also areas where workers live.
Because it is a collective dormitory, the rooms are not very large, but they are divided into "male and female dormitory".
"Ah, I still have to do it for men and women?" Lou Qing looked at the drawings, a little surprised.
Gu Qingling said: "Of course, we have to divide the number. Not all male employees work in paper mills, and there are some female employees. If you don't divide the men and women in advance, it will be inconvenient for the men and women to live together at that time."
"But..." Lou Qing frowned slightly and said, "Men and women can't teach each other clearly. If men and women are together, what if women are bad for their reputation? I'm afraid that your factory will be open for a few days, and it will start a fuss."
It can be said that Lou Qing became the upstart in Jinling after he collaborated with Mrs. Yao and started a new construction team.
After becoming a new nobleman, Lou Qing not only became a welcome target for major families in Jinling, but also received attention from the family, which increased the market and gained a lot of convenience.
Lou Qing attached great importance to the benefactor of the Yao family, so when he saw the drawings and felt something was wrong, he also mentioned it very directly.
He hopes that he can help his benefactor avoid some troubles that can be avoided.
Gu Qingling nodded: "I understand what you said, but... Mr. Lou, have you ever learned about those ordinary people well?"
