"Your Excellency Su Lun, this is not a question of money, but that no one scholar wants to..."

"three times!"

"Your Mightiness..."

"Starting next month, your sugar and rum quotas are gone."

"Isn't it a scholar? No problem, I will definitely bring you." Fernand promised, patting his chest.

"Oh, it won't be too embarrassing." Su Lun smiled and said, "If it is too embarrassing, I will find someone else. I remember that the Duolong Chamber of Commerce has expressed its willingness to contribute to the territory of Zhenbei City several times."

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult at all. Our Flamingo Chamber of Commerce is very willing to contribute to the construction of Zhenbei City. Please Your Excellency Sulun give us this opportunity." Fernande said righteously, but couldn't help it in his heart. bleed.

"Thank you very much for the contribution of the Flamingo Chamber of Commerce to Zhenbei City. I don't know if you have anything to say?" Su Lun strongly praised the Flamingo Chamber of Commerce, and then looked at the remaining chambers of commerce in charge.

"Your Excellency Su Lun, our Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce is willing to invite a scholar to Zhenbei City."

"Your Excellency Sulun, our Barlow Chamber of Commerce is very willing to contribute to the construction of Zhenbei City..."

"Your Excellency Suren, we..."

As soon as Su Lun's voice fell, the managers of several other chambers of commerce expressed their willingness to help the development of Zhenbei City. For fear that the posture would be slower, there would be no chance.

A summit forum on the sustainable development of Kezhen Beicheng International Cooperation came to an end in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. It was decided at the meeting that the six chambers of commerce including Flamingo, Bauhinia, and Barlow each provided a scholar to Zhenbei City to teach in Zhenbei City.

The teaching time is two years. Zhenbei City is responsible for all the scholars' consumption in Zhenbei City. At the same time, they need to pay scholars three times the remuneration. After the two parties agree, it shall not be violated. The teaching scholars need to arrive when the caravan trades next month, and the teaching scholars need to pass the Suren assessment. If the assessment fails, the sugar and rum shares of the caravan for that month will be cancelled and allocated to several other chambers of commerce.

And as a punishment, the chamber of commerce will need to bring two scholars next month. If the problem occurs again, then sorry, you will be completely cancelled the purchase share of sugar and rum.

After the two parties agreed, several caravans left Zhenbei City with the shares purchased this month. Now the most profitable trade in Zhenbei City is sugar and rum. These two items can bring tens of thousands of gold to Zhenbei City every month. For Gnar’s income, Zhenbei City had to buy various goods and slaves from other caravans every month.

Now Zhenbei City can be said to be the largest slave purchaser in the Northland provinces. Every time Jean's caravan purchases thousands of slaves. The ratio of men to women in Zhenbei City is now very uneven. Among those slaves, the proportion of men is more than 80%, and only 20% are female slaves.

In fact, in the slave market, the number of female slaves is far less than that of male slaves. In many cases, after the slave merchants get the female slaves, the female branch houses and other businesses will first come to select them, and the more attractive ones will be taken away. Only those who can't pass it will be left behind.

There is no special good way for the imbalance of the territorial population. In fact, Genn bought more slaves during this time with skilled slaves, and there are not many ordinary slaves. Zhenbeicheng is now conducting population migration transactions with lords of all sizes in the northern provinces.

The population in many lords’ territories is saturated. Gene went to discuss with them the issue of migration and refugees. As long as the money is in place, they will naturally not refuse this kind of thing. All the refugees are under unified management.

First train for three or five days in the original territory, and at the same time let them eat for a few days, so as not to keep up with their physical strength when migrating. During training, these refugees will be formed into teams of ten people and fifty people. Let them choose a person of prestige to serve as the captain, and then divide them into a migration team of 500 or 1,000 to move to Zhenbei City in batches.

At the same time, every migration team arranged a team of 20 soldiers from Zhenbei City and some mercenaries for protection. The road from Zhenbei City to Carter City is not too dangerous, at most there are some jackal kobolds or goblins.

These enemies happened to train the soldiers, and the soldiers in Zhenbei City took turns to perform this **** mission. Su Lun calculated that, in this way, nearly 3,000 refugees would join in Zhenbei City every month.

The outer city of Zhenbei City is designed to accommodate 50,000 people. Su Lun plans to wait until the population of the territory exceeds 30,000, and he will not buy slaves or emigrate, or slow down the pace of immigration, because after the population exceeds 30,000, people in Zhenbei City will live. The natural childbearing population also needs to leave room.

Of course, Sulun can also choose to continue to expand the city. A large city with a scale of 100,000 people is not so easy to build. At that time, a large number of villages or small towns will definitely need to be built around the city, and farmers are not suitable for living in the city.

There will be an urban circle around a city with a population of more than 100,000 in the world, and only a few cities can supply a large city with blood transfusions. For example, the capitals of many kingdoms have a population of two to three hundred thousand. Such cities are almost supported by the power of the whole country.

The ancient capitals of the ancient Chinese nation with millions of dollars had a large amount of food imported every day. If Su Lun really wanted to build a large city with a population of more than 100,000, he would build a city circle first, and then upgrade the city.

With the development of the territory, more and more people who have read books are needed in the territory, so he plans to open a training school, and let those caravans provide scholars to prepare teachers for this training school.

The papermaking technique used by the aborigines of this world is still very primitive. The paper produced is not of good quality, is yellowish, rough, and has poor toughness. Generally, people prefer to use parchment when it is used to record important things. Of course, parchment. The price of paper is too high. A book made of parchment is worth hundreds of kinnals.

Zhenbei City is now using wooden slips and linens for records. Only some important things will use parchment paper. After all, a piece of parchment can be made from a piece of parchment.

Su Lun does not have much research on papermaking, but he still knows the papermaking technique, one of the four great inventions in the past life that affected the world, so he plans to improve the world's papermaking technique based on some of his previous life experience.

Because of the poor quality of paper, the world’s papermaking technology does not value these technologies too much. When Su Lun asked Gene Gene to buy slaves, he hired a few craftsmen with high salaries to come to Zhenbei City. Those craftsmen were still a little skeptical when they saw the price given by Gene, but after having the assurance of the local lord, they were a little skeptical. Gene directly half-forced and half-tempted to relocate these craftsmen and their families to Zhenbei City.

When they came to Zhenbei City again, when they were allocated houses, these people still couldn't believe it. When they were sure that these houses were really allocated to them, these craftsmen exploded with great enthusiasm.

The day after the paper craftsmen came here, Su Lun began to study the improvement of papermaking. His understanding of papermaking was limited to the records in the junior high school history textbooks, so he could only combine the two to experiment little by little.

In fact, Su Lun is not good at this kind of technology tree climbing. The building in his territory that can speed up research is the academy, but Su Lun now has no scholars, and the academy cannot be built. As for the wonder building that can greatly improve the research progress and climb the technology tree.' Big library', he doesn't have drawings now.

Without attribute bonuses, Su Lun had to research on his own, but although he couldn't use the academy to climb the technology tree, the attribute bonuses of some basic buildings were still useful.

After communicating with the paper craftsmen, Su Lun mobilized some slaves to establish a paper making workshop in the outer city. The workshop covers an area of ​​more than one thousand square meters. The paper used for making the paper in the workshop corresponds to the various steps. Complete.

It took three days to complete the construction of a brand new papermaking workshop.

[Paper Workshop: A workshop used to make paper. The emergence of paper represents the spread of knowledge. Papermaking technology +5, paper quality +5, work efficiency~lightnovelpub.net~territory culture +2, prosperity +2, knowledge The spread of makes your territory more prosperous. 】

After seeing the properties of the papermaking workshop, Su Lun was still satisfied, and then handed over the raw materials ready for paper making to the craftsmen, so that they could make paper according to the previous process, while Su Lun watched them making it.

After understanding the technological process of papermaking, Su Lun began to modify this papermaking technique based on some knowledge of previous lives. First of all, the raw materials are changed, using bark, jute and other plants, using hydraulic machinery to grind these raw materials, and then soaking them in lime water, and then making them in the order of beating, papermaking, and drying.

It took half a month for a set of procedures, and then the first batch of paper was finally completed.

"My lord, this is the paper made according to your improved craftsmanship. The quality is much better than the previous paper." Joel ran over with a stack of paper excitedly.

Su Lun took the paper and looked through it. This kind of paper is better than the original toughness, but the paper is still a bit brittle, the surface of the paper is also very rough, not as smooth as the paper he used in the previous life, and the color of the paper is also yellow. , The paper is also a little absorbent, and the writing effect is a bit poor. In terms of overall quality, it is slightly better than the yellow paper burned on the grave during the Qingming Festival in the previous life.

"My lord, this paper is of much better quality than the previous paper and can be used for writing." Joel, the foreman next to him, said excitedly.

"No, the quality of this paper is still too bad, and the craftsmanship needs to be improved." Su Lun shook his head and said randomly: "However, these papers are still improving. Everyone will score ten points as a reward."

The craftsmen who were still a little disappointed cheered instantly.

"Okay, continue to improve the process, and also produce some of this paper." Su Lun said to Joel.
