buyIt seems that after becoming wealthy, one still needs to rely on themselves to enrich their life!Even buying new clothes for women is a difficult task.In this era, there were almost no ready-made g..."Well done! It worked!"

Du Jing excitedly shook Yang Lin's shoulders again.

"We actually created the kind of paper you were talking about! Lighter, thinner, and more durable! And the cost, it's at least 50% lower!"

Du Jing excitedly reached out a hand.

When Yang Lin first mentioned that kind of paper, he didn't believe it. He couldn't fathom that there was actually paper that thin in the world.

Until he personally created that kind of paper, Du Jing realized how great an invention it was!

Yang Lin also let out a long sigh of relief.

He designed this kind of paper based on Cai Hou paper, further improved. Although it is not as good as the papermaking techniques of his previous life, it is completely different from the paper in this world.

"Jingge, you've done it again! This time, you and your design studio won't be short of prize money!"

Du Jing shook his head excitedly, "The pay you gave me is already very high, and the bonus doesn't really matter. I just didn't expect that we actually came up with something that could change the world!"

Before helping to research and improve iron smelting, although he had successfully smelted wrought iron, Du Jing did not feel much about it.

But papermaking is different.

He was once a scholar and knew the importance of paper. He clearly understood that this improvement could be a great invention that would be passed down through the ages!

"What are you going to do next" Du Jing asked excitedly.

The success of papermaking got him looking forward to more new inventions.

Yang Lin shook his head: "There's still plenty of room for improvement in paper. We'll continue to produce it while also making ongoing improvements."

"Continue to improve" Du Jing was surprised.

"That's right, this kind of paper still has room for further improvement. For example, it could be made even thinner, more durable, and whiter."

At the same time, we can also research other types of paper. For example, paper suitable for calligraphy and painting, paper suitable for wrapping food, or even a type of paper that is affordable for the poor, regardless of quality.

In addition, cardboard for making boxes can be developed; paper suitable for printing; paper for wallpaper and window decoration; waterproof paper...

Yang Lin spoke in one breath, a lot of words, while Du Jing listened, dumbfounded.

He never expected that paper alone could be divided into so many categories!

"Well, I'll continue researching!" Du Jing said excitedly.

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Work can wait. Today we just need to eat meat! Come on!"

When the two returned, the pork was already cooked.

On every table, there was a large pot of stewed pork that was fragrant, tender and soft, but the villagers didn't move their chopsticks. They were all still waiting for Yang Lin.

Fellow countrymen!

Yang Lin stood on the platform and loudly said, “The meat is ready, everyone dig in! We’ll eat and have a meeting at the same time. You don’t need to look at me, just eat and listen to me as I speak.”

As we mentioned before, there's some good news to announce today. I'll start with the first piece of good news.

"Hiring!"

Yang Lin shouted.

As soon as he uttered those two words, many people's eyes were no longer on the pork in their bowls, all fixated on Yang Lin.

Now, there are over 300 people from the village of several hundred working here in Yanglin.

There are now dried goods available, and the wages have already risen to six or seven coins. Including the bonus paid out recently, in just over a month, many households have saved several hundred coins! It's more than they saved in the entire previous year.

Thus, those villagers who hadn't finished their work were in a hurry.

Now, hearing the hiring announcement again, their eyes lit up!

Yang Lin continued, "This time we're hiring unlimited people! As long as you're from our village, everyone will get six cash per day!"

As soon as he uttered these words, the banquet hall erupted in cheers. “That’s great! Finally, we have something to do!”

"From now on, we can also live a good life!"

Many people were moved to tears.

Seeing the villagers' excitement, Yang Lin sighed inwardly.

The common people of this era are truly hard-pressed. They don't aspire to wealth or status; they simply seek a means to survive, to provide for their families, and that brings them contentment.

"Ahem, next, I'd like to announce some industry-related changes and adjustments."

"First, the road repair team and the construction team, the lumberjack team, and the brick-making team were all merged together to form the Construction Team!"

"Cao Cao and Dian Wei, in charge of the construction team!"

Although Yang Lin had already made peace with them beforehand, Gao Dagang was still excited when he announced it publicly.

After struggling for most of my life, I never thought I'd be in a position of authority!

"Uncle Dazhuang, please come up and introduce everyone about the recent progress of the construction team."

"Huh"

The tall and strong man was taken aback.

I wasn't told about this step beforehand.

But at this moment, when Yang Lin called him, he could only stand on the stage dumbstruck.

Seeing Gao Da Zhuang standing on the stage, still scratching his head and not knowing what to say, the villagers in the audience burst into laughter.

Yang Lin also smiled and said, “Uncle Da Zhuang, don't be nervous. Just tell me the progress of the project that you know.”

"Oh oh."

Gao Dazhuang scratched his head and stammered, "Our construction team has just finished building ten miles of road recently. Three miles to the east of the village, three miles to the west, two miles along the riverbank, and two miles up Laobingshan. Our roads are wider and smoother now."

The kiln fired 83,000 bricks, 26,000 tiles, and 3,900 stones of cement.

"The Koushanxin Village project has leveled 33 mu of land and laid foundations for twelve buildings. Work is also underway on the foundations for 28 more buildings." Please note that I've removed the extra formatting from the original text, as that wasn't part of the translation request.

"Uh...uh..."

Gao Da Zhuang scratched his head, trying to think of something else to say, but he couldn't remember.

Two days ago, when Yang Lin appointed him as the foreman of the construction team, he had already understood these production conditions. But at this moment, under stress, many things slipped his mind.

Yang Lin took the lead in applauding: "Good! Uncle Dazhuang is right. These are all the changes and achievements of our village!"

"In the future, we will continue to build roads, extending them from our mountain villages all the way to towns and even county cities!"

"At this rate, in at most six months, our new village of support will be complete! Then every household will be able to live in a new brick house!"

"Uncle Dazhuang, starting tomorrow, the construction team will be expanded, recruiting at least another hundred people!"

Yang Lin said.

"Huh" The tall and muscular man was stunned. "Are we really able to use so many people"

The construction team is already the largest, with over 200 people. Do we need to add another 100

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Uncle Dazhuang, over the past period of time, all departments have been developing steadily and very well."

The time for stability is over, now we can start to accelerate development, strengthen the industry, and increase production capacity!

“More than a hundred people Over at the kiln, we just need to build a few more kilns. We can double our brick and cement production! On the construction site, we'll add a few dozen more workers. This way, our fellow villagers can move into their new homes sooner.”

"Okay, okay, like this..."

tall and imposing, he seemed about to speak but hesitated.

"Does Dazhuang mean we need to pay"

"Money is no object! Uncle Dàzhuang, I'll give you one thousand two taels of silver!".Who exactly is Li Yuyao Why would the third sister kneel before her The two of them seem very agitated, what are they saying to each otherYang Lin realized there was a problem, a big problem!Unfortun...
