When the aunt heard what she said, she complained in her mind: How could she be willing to use toilet paper for her own household purposes?
I'm afraid I might see someone buying 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.
Things like this happened to them, not just the two of them, but also happened in several alleys near Wangzi Chenglong grocery store. But they never thought that people would come to buy their toilet paper at high prices, so they would let the grocery store go?
Therefore, when they ran to Wangzi Chenglong grocery store, they found that the toilet paper inside had been robbed by others.
Not to mention toilet paper, even the paper towels that they didn't want to buy because they thought they were a bit expensive are all sold out.
Everyone: "..."
If I had known earlier, I would have bought more.
For a time, paper was expensive in Luoyang.
Some well-informed businessmen even asked people: "Hey, I heard what kind of toilet paper do you have here? It is very soft, just like cloth, but it is sold very cheaply, only the price of a pound of meat. Is it true?
?”
"Which family is willing to spend a pound of meat to buy paper? I'm afraid you are crazy." The lady who was questioned glared at him, "You are not talking about the new products at Wangzi Chenglong's grocery store, are you? I heard people say,
It’s really useful, but don’t think about it, it’s already been sold out.”
Looking forward to Jackie Chan’s grocery store?
The man inquired about Wang Zi Cheng Long's grocery store.
When he heard that it was a matter of "cooperation", the shopkeeper of Wangzi Chenglong's grocery store asked him to leave his address and said that he would talk to the owner later and tell him when there was news.
Within a few days, Gu Qingling received several pages of requests for cooperation.
Gu Qingling asked people to investigate the merchants on the list, selected a few 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 he wanted to build 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 will benefit the people.
They can come to work in paper mills and earn money to support their families.
Gu Qingling calculated an account for the prefect. If the paper mill needs a hundred workers, then these one hundred people can get an extra amount of money every month. For these one hundred families, this is a huge sum of money.
income. With this income, they will definitely 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 can't guarantee how many people my paper mill will need, but I dare say that as long as this paper mill is built, the number of businessmen coming to Jinling to buy goods will double. When they come to buy paper, they will definitely bring them with them.
Some other things... With this kind of back and forth, it is impossible for Jinling not to prosper."
In addition, the Ming Dynasty already has cement, and several main roads in Jinling will be repaired by then. In three to five years, Jinling will become the largest trade capital in this region.
If someone else said this to Magistrate Sun, Magistrate Sun would definitely think that the other person was joking, but the person who told him was Mrs. Yao. As soon as the other person entered Jinling, he did several major things. The most recent one was to successfully let him
My wife, who has had no good news for more than ten years, is pregnant again.
Therefore, no matter what Gu Qingling said, Magistrate Sun would seriously consider it.
When the prefect's wife heard about this, she didn't say much. She just asked the people below to bring over the paper towels and toilet paper produced by the Yao family for Prefect Sun to try out.
"Although I don't know if this paper factory can really drive the entire Jinling market, but..." the prefect's wife said, "their paper is really easy to use, whether it is paper towels or toilet paper, it is very soft and valuable.
It’s not expensive, even ordinary people can afford it.”
The prefect's wife told the story of the servants who went to ordinary people's homes and asked for paper at high prices.
It is not that there is no paper in the Jinling market that ordinary people cannot afford, but the output is too low and the supply exceeds demand. If Mrs. Yao can really build a larger paper mill to meet the consumption of the entire Jinling, their family will
I won’t be looking for people everywhere anymore.
This family is just a special case.
But when Magistrate Sun really sent people to inquire, he found that many families were asking for paper in the Jinling market. The originally cheap toilet paper had inexplicably become more expensive due to the scarcity of the quantity.
He made some preliminary estimates in his mind. If all these demands were converted into the Yao family's production capacity, then...
When Gu Qingling received a message from Magistrate Sun, expressing her agreement, Gu Qingling was not surprised at all. After all, what she did was "beneficial to the country and the people". How many officials who are determined to achieve great results would not agree?
Of course, out of selfishness, Gu Qingling did not mention that the paper mill might harm the environment. She was afraid that if she did, Magistrate Sun would not agree.
The environmental problems we will face 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 in everyone's mind from the beginning, so that everyone can adhere to their responsibilities as an "environmental protector" while developing the social economy, otherwise there will be no way to change this
Dilemma.
What Gu Qingling has to do is not to stop eating because of choking or stop the paper mill because it will harm the environment, but to set the standard of "environmental protection" when doing this so that others can follow this path.
time, unconsciously abide by this standard.
In this way, when the industrial revolution comes, we can protect the environment to the greatest extent possible.
After selecting the site, Gu Qingling handed over the construction of the paper mill to the new construction team of Mrs. Yao and Lou Qing, preparing to build a very novel factory in every 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 residential areas for workers.
Because it is a collective dormitory, the rooms are not particularly large, but they are divided into "men's and women's dormitories".
"Ah, do you want men and women?" Lou Qing looked at the drawings and was a little surprised.
Gu Qingling said: "Of course we have to separate them. Not all employees working in the paper mill are male, but there are also some female employees. If you don't separate the male and female employees in advance, it will be inconvenient for the male and female employees to live together."
"But..." Lou Qing frowned slightly and said, "It's unclear how men and women are taught. If men and women are together, what if the woman's reputation is ruined? I'm afraid your factory won't be able to open for a few days.
, we have to start a fuss."
It can be said that Lou Qing became an upstart in Jinling only after he cooperated with Mrs. Yao to build a new-style construction team.
After becoming a new rich man, Lou Qing not only became popular with the major families in Jinling, but also gained the attention of the families. As a result, Lou Qing gained a lot of conveniences.
Lou Qing attached great importance to his benefactors, the Yao family, so when he saw the drawings 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 ever got to know those ordinary people well?"
Lou Qing looked confused, not quite understanding what Gu Qingling meant.
