Chapter 1076 Wagang Newspaper
Papermaking technology and printing technology are both mature technologies in Wagang City, and the scale is not small compared to the papermaking workshop.
All printing is movable type printing, and the first printed item is a notebook printed with vertical lines.
The officials in Wagang City now have ten copies of them, which are used for recording.
I also learned this kind of notebook from Youzhou, but Wagang has just started. If you want to reach the level of reading, you still need to print a lot.
But these are all for experimentation.
Li Shimin mainly needed to print newspapers and some books through movable type.
When Li Shimin first issued a newspaper, he was preparing to print 30,000 yuan. At the beginning, he was not charged for several consecutive printing issues and distributed for free. He also followed Youzhou's promotion model.
The promotional content of Wagang and the reputation of the people in the world know the situation of Wagang City's forces, and they also published advertisements in newspapers, especially cement supply, bicycles, wholesale paper, distribution of books, etc.
Some businessmen in Wagang City were also very sensible and published advertisements in Wagang newspapers, which was considered to be a great success.
When the first Wagang newspaper entered Chang'an, people distributed it to various restaurants and inns, and the same was true in Luoyang, Jiangling and other places.
The newspapers of 30,000 yuan were published soon, but they brought a lot of surprise to the people. There are also newspapers in Wagang City who are curious about what kind of content they will be published.
Li Shimin is very pragmatic and encourages business to attract investment. The development of business in Wagang City will receive strong support, and even directly exempts taxes for half a year, and taxes will be reduced by half in the second half of the year.
It is very attractive to many businessmen, and there are some government orders from Wagang City, such as support for business, etc., all of which are promoted.
Li Yuan felt depressed when he saw this. Isn’t this a copy of Youzhou? Moreover, the publicity of Wagang seemed to be here to dig up the corners of the Tang Dynasty.
Also, when people who arrived in Wagang City chose to farm, they also divided the land into 100 acres, which was basically the same as the support level in Youzhou.
Li Yuan was angry and had no choice but to let Chang'an and Luoyang not have so many fields, but he did not do anything during this period.
On the contrary, he encouraged the land to be reclaimed and allocated all the land to be reclaimed and the reclaimers so that the people can get more food.
But in the end, it cannot change the various tax problems. Although the people who can reclaim more food will also pay more food? It is far from being said that welfare is not a question.
"Li Shimin is moving fast enough. Tong Fu, go and talk to them about paper orders? Try to lower the cost as much as possible."
Li De found that it was really good that someone was in charge of labor. Youzhou had a lot of demand for paper. If you could purchase Wagang City, it would save a lot of costs.
The paper used in medical schools and Youzhou schools is free of charge for the Chengshoufu, so considering that the lower the cost, the better.
There is also a purpose in purchasing paper from Wagang City? One is to save costs and the other is to save production pressure? This way the papermaking workshop can spend more time developing papermaking technology.
Technology is the primary productivity, and it is not possible without advanced technology? The cost of rice paper produced now is not low, and the thickness and specifications of paper have different uses.
Li De wants to develop various papermaking processes? �
Technology needs to be accumulated slowly with experience and innovation, and it is impossible to be impatient.
Tong Fu was in Wagang City? This time he met Changsun Wuji again? But now it was Changsun Wuji's turn to entertain him.
The banquet specifications are very good.
Compared with Youzhou's official business and decisive behavior? The entertainment in Wagang is a bit intriguing.
Tong Fu was not dissatisfied with any dissatisfaction? It was absolutely impossible to let him do things that harm the interests of Youzhou. This is a matter of principle and cannot give in.
"Your Highness of the King of Qin, Tong Fu came here this time to purchase paper."
“How many to order?”
"The first batch of paper is the output of twenty workshops in three months? The purchase quantity of the second batch is to be determined but not less than the output of one month."
Li Shimin became interested immediately after hearing this? �
No matter how question is, the order must not be missed? After all, no matter how cheap the price of paper is, it will be very profitable.
“How is the price?”
"The value is 30% lower than the market price in Youzhou."
Changsun Wuji was very hesitant? After all, the paper in Youzhou was originally small profits but quick turnover? �
"How much profit can you make?" Li Shimin asked.
"Not 20%." Changsun Wuji said.
"There is 20% profit to agree."
The profit is lower, in fact, if the caravan promotes it at this price, the benefits may be less? But this is a procurement that only requires manufacturing and supply to Youzhou, which saves a lot of expenses.
"Will it affect supply in various parts of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin asked again.
Changsun Wuji knew very well that sales in Tang China were the main market they wanted to seize, so the supply time to Youzhou had been extended during the negotiations.
This will give you time to produce more needs in the Tang Kingdom.
"No? All have reserved time and the cost can be recovered in three years based on the current output."
After talking about paper, Changsun Wuji mentioned the money house matters.
"Your Highness? Tong Fu from Youzhou proposed to build a money house in Wagang City, and in the future, large-scale transactions can be settled directly with money tickets."
After hearing this, Li Shimin felt that this was inappropriate. He knew about the money shop. Although it was convenient for transactions, the money shop would absorb the people's deposits. Once it was opened in Wagang, it was necessary to follow the rules of the money shop.
Besides, the money tickets issued by the money house are uncontrollable, which will definitely lead to price fluctuations in Wagang City. At present, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, unless Wagang City can establish its own money house to issue its own money tickets.
But this does not guarantee that both banks can gain their own benefits, unless they are unified, it will definitely not work.
"The money house cannot agree to the matter."
Changsun Wuji actually wanted to build his own money shop. The money ticket transactions carried out by Youzhou money shop have gradually become popular, and many people in Youzhou are using money tickets to make payments.
Copper coins have gradually become less common as daily trading of gold and silver. The money paid by Youzhou to Wagang is mainly silver. Every time one transaction is enough, it is not as troublesome as copper coins.
Most of the coins paid in Wagang City are mixed with a large amount of copper coins, because there is very little gold and silver.
If money tickets can be issued for leveling transportation, it will greatly save costs and be much more convenient.
He also knew that if he wanted to build a money house, he could not meet the requirements with the power of Wagang. It would be easier to promote a money house if he wanted to change to Tang State.
