Chapter 92: The High-Speed Development Period of Koushan Vil

n! Whether or not it's profitable depends on fate, let's learn it first and then talk.""Alright, I'll take people there right now. That Yang Lin is also a jerk, if he dares to disobey, just wait and s..."Well done! It worked!"

Du Jing excitedly shook Yang Lin's shoulders again.

"We really made the kind of paper you were talking about! It's 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 said that kind of paper, he didn't believe it. Could there really be paper that thin in the world

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

Yang Lin also let out a long sigh of relief.

The paper he designed was further improved upon the basis of Cai Hou paper. Although it was not as good as the papermaking techniques of his previous life, it was completely different from the paper of this world.

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

But Du Jing shook his head excitedly: "The pay you've already given is very high, the bonus doesn't really matter. I just didn't expect that we actually managed to create something that can change the world!"

Before helping to research and improve iron smelting, although he had successfully produced wrought iron, Du Jing didn't feel much about it.

But papermaking is different.

He was once a student, knowing the importance of paper, and he understood clearly 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 made him look forward to more new inventions.

Yet Yang Lin shook his head: "Paper still has a lot of room for improvement. We'll continue to improve it while we produce it."

"Continue to improve" Du Jing was surprised.

“Yes, this type of paper still has room for further improvement. For example, it could become 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, and even a type of paper that is inexpensive regardless of quality so that even the poor can afford it!"

"Besides, paperboard for making boxes; paper suitable for printing; wallpaper and wall covering paper; waterproof paper..."

Yang Lin said a lot in one breath, while Du Jing listened with wide eyes.

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

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

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Work can wait, today we just eat meat, come on!"

When they went back, the pork had already been stewed.

Each table had a large pot of fragrant, tender braised pork, but the villagers didn't touch their chopsticks. They were all still waiting for Yang Lin.

My fellow countrymen!

Yang Lin stood on the platform and shouted loudly, "The meat is ready, everyone, let's eat! Let's have a meeting while we eat. You don't have to look at me, just eat and listen to me as I speak."

As we said before, there's good news to announce today, so let me start by sharing the first piece of good news.

"Hiring!"

Yang Lin shouted.

As soon as those two words left his mouth, many people's eyes were no longer on the pork in their bowls, but fixed intently on Yang Lin.

Nowadays, with a population of over 500 people in the whole village, more than 300 people are working here in Yanglin.

There are dried wages, which have already risen to six or seven coins. Including the bonus issued some time ago, in just over a month, many households have saved several hundred coins! More than what they saved in the past year.

Thus, those villagers who had not yet finished their work were in a hurry.

Now, hearing about job openings again, their eyes lit up!

Yang Lin continued, "This time we're hiring, no limit on numbers! As long as you're from our village, everyone gets six wen a day!"

The moment these words left his mouth, 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 couldn't help but sigh.

The common people of this era are truly hard done by. They don't aspire to wealth or status, they are content if they can simply survive and provide for their families.

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

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

"Gao Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang Shu, will be in charge of the construction team!"

Although Yang Lin had already patched things up with them beforehand, when he publicly announced it now, Gao Da Zhuang was still excited.

I've been struggling my whole life, but who would have thought I could end up in charge!

"Da Zhuang, please come up and give everyone an update on the construction team's progress."

"Huh"

Gao Da Zhuang was stunned.

I wasn't told about this step beforehand.

But at this moment when Yang Lin called him, he could only dumbly go onto the stage.

When he stood on the stage, Gao Da Zhuang was still scratching his head, not knowing what to say. The villagers below burst into laughter.

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

"Oh oh."

Gāodàzhuàng scratched his head and stammered, "Our construction team has recently built ten miles of road. Three miles east of the village, three miles west of the village, two miles along the riverbank, and two miles to Old Black Mountain. Our roads are wider and flatter."

The kiln produced 83,000 bricks, 26,000 tiles, and 3,900 stone of cement.

The Koushan Xincun project has leveled 33 mu of land and completed the foundations for 12 buildings. Construction on another 28 foundations is ongoing.

"Uh... uh..."

Gaoda, a tall and strong man, scratched his head, trying to think of something else to say, but couldn't come up with anything.

The day before yesterday, when Yang Lin let him manage the construction team, he already understood these production conditions, but at this moment, he was nervous and forgot many things.

Yang Lin took the lead in clapping: "Good! Uncle Dazhuang is right, these are all the changes and achievements of our village!"

"In the future, we will continue to build roads, connecting our mountain villages to towns and even county cities!"

"At this rate, in at most half a year, our new village, the Back Mountain Village, will be completed! Then every household will be able to move into new brick houses!"

"Uncle Dazhuang, starting tomorrow, the construction team will be expanded, with at least another 100 people recruited!"

Yang Lin said.

"Huh" the tall and strong man was taken aback, "Can we even use that 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 has passed, now we can begin to accelerate development, expand the industry, and increase production capacity!

"More than a hundred people Over at the kiln area, we just need to open a few more earth kilns. That way, our brick and cement production capacity can double! As for the construction site, if we add another few dozen workers, then our villagers will be able to move into their new homes sooner."

"Well, that works..."

tall and strong, he seemed to want to speak but hesitated.

"Da Zhuang's meaning is that it requires money, right"

"Money is no object! Uncle Dazhuang, I'll give you one thousand taels of silver!"'s enough."Yang Lin was greatly shocked.Since coming into this world, he actually has a sense of superiority over modern people.>Today's confrontation with this old fox made me realize that this world...
