Baochaosi is located on the north and south long streets by the Jinshui River, not far from Sheji Temple, and there is a lake entrance to the west. After walking two miles, it is the Xiyuan that Emperor Jiajing loves to stay the most.

The reason why it was established here is that Baochaosi needs straw and other raw materials to produce straw paper. After the straw is cooked, crushed, soaked with lime, and then pulping, drying and other procedures, it can be made straw paper.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the production of straw paper, Baochao Store has several straw ponds built in, which tastes bad. In addition, live water must be introduced and sewage discharged, which must be kept away from the palace.

Wei Liangchen named the Baochaosi for the establishment of royal straw paper, because Baochao was the legal currency at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and it was specially designed for the Baochao Tuju. The legal period of Baochao in the Ming Dynasty lasted for more than 50 years until Jingtai and Chenghua periods.

Although there is no treasure banknote now, the country's legal currency name is changed to paper for rubbing, which is still unacceptable, just like saying that the US knife is toilet paper.

Wei Liangchen guessed that this was related to the fact that Baochao was depreciated in the end, as bad as the straw paper.

Of course, Wei Liangchen liked Baochao produced by Baochao Company. This straw paper is basically no different from the toilet paper of later generations. It is light yellow in color, very fine and soft, and has a great touch.

Guarja especially likes this toilet paper. When menstruation, he even folds the treasure banknotes and puts them in a cloth strip, saying that it is a good water absorption effect.

Wei Liangchen also valued this advantage. He wanted to promote a new life movement in the Imperial Army, and toilet paper was the hardware that must be equipped.

Because Baochao is particularly useful, Wei Liangchen mistakenly thought that straw paper was like this since ancient times, but he didn't know that although paper appeared in the Han Dynasty, paper was expensive items for a long time and it was impossible to use it to wipe the butt. In the past, people only used blocks of soil, wooden sticks, tiles, etc. to clean it. The nobles could use silk and cotton cloth to wipe the butt. It was not until the pseudo-Yuan Yuan that had straw paper that specifically cleaned the butt, commonly known as "sweeping the butt".

However, this "sweeping paper" is not easy to use. The queen of the fake Yuan Yuzong was very filial. She served Yuzong's mother, Empress Zhao Ruishunsheng, and even rubbed the sweeping paper for the toilet for a while, so that the paper softened before being used for Queen Zhao Ruishunsheng. It can be seen that the sweeping paper at that time was probably not very comfortable to use, and it was not much better than the soil, wooden sticks, and tiles.

It was not until this dynasty that the "sweeping paper" process was greatly improved and could be used directly.

But this kind of fart-wiping paper called "Baochao" is not something that ordinary people can use. The straw paper used by the people is not called Baochao, but coarse paper, and there are no words on it. Respecting words is a tradition of Chinese people. Anyone who uses words to wipe his butt will be stabbed by someone.

However, coarse paper is also a relatively luxurious thing for poor people. Most people may have prepared some, but they use it when customers come, so they are reluctant to use it. When Wei Liangchen was in his hometown, his father Wei Jinde was reluctant to buy coarse paper, and only some dry straw was piled in the thatched cottage.

Of course, Wei Liangchen wanted to take Baochaosi to fly together, and in addition to his favourite ability to make toilet paper, there were other factors.

This factor is that if you can make toilet paper, you will definitely make paper tickets, because there is not much difference between the two in essence. It is just to harden the toilet paper, print the characters, and make it anti-counterfeiting.

Wei Liangchen, who has always been committed to financial innovation, will definitely issue military tickets in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and even Asia, and even Europa in the future.

The Ming Imperial Army represents the Ming Empire. Only by improving the living standards of people of all countries through military votes can the justice of the Ming Imperial Army and the superiority of the Ming Empire be demonstrated.

Military tickets symbolize the glory of the empire.

Then, to realize this great plan of global common prosperity, a strong imperial army must be established.

The Imperial Army needs a central mint.

Baochaosi is this central mint.

This is a causal relationship, and it also shows that every piece of toilet paper has its use.

Eunuch Wei has a connection with Baochaosi. His fellow countryman, Zhang Bing, who had previously liked to steal from his hometown, was the supervisor of Baochaosi.

But Eunuch Wei must have disdained to show this kind of love between the countrymen.

He came for business, so what kind of personal relationship was he talking about?

Moreover, he came to help the poor.

The Baochaosi must have a warm welcome to this noble man from heaven.

As expected, after hearing that the temporary imperial envoy of the East Factory, the eunuch of the official school and the central magistrate of Jiangnan, Mr. Wei, came to the door, the young supervisor and the chief supervisor were both frightened and opened the door with grand manners to welcome the hero in front of the emperor to inspect the Baobao Office.

The Baochao Department has no seal, so it is even less likely that there will be an admiral. Only the Shaoguan is responsible, and this Shaoguan is the sixth rank. In terms of rank, Eunuch Wei is equal to the other party, but the Youngguan Ma absolutely dare not be on par with Eunuch Wei.

Can a person who is a wiping his butt compare with those who are in charge of the East Factory and the Imperial Army?

Zhang Bing recognized Eunuch Wei, and at this moment, he felt very sad inside.

The sadness is not because he stayed in the palace for more than ten years before becoming a prison chief, but because he was sad that he would not receive attention from the county when he returned home next time. The premise of returning home in glory is that the village is not as good as himself.

Eunuch Wei sat at the top of the lobby of Baochao Company, not polite at all, because he didn't have to be polite at all. To put it short, Eunuch Wei directly assigned a task to Baochao Company.

It is stipulated that the Baochao Department will provide the Dadan Imperial Army with tens of thousands of people every year, and will also send relevant personnel to Jiangnan to establish the Baochao branch. The production raw materials and factory construction funds will be provided by the Ming Imperial Army and the Maritime Admiral Office.

The Ming Dynasty Imperial Army also provided five eunuchs to Baochaosi, and gave a minimum dividend of 10,000 taels per year. Of course, this minimum dividend is not fixed, and will be adjusted according to Baochaosi's papermaking capacity and scale.

"When we finish speaking, who agrees and who opposes?" Eunuch Wei's big sword and horse, and his sharp eyes glanced at Ma Shaojian and his fellow townsman Zhang.

"My father-in-law said, give us one...10,000 taels every year?"

After receiving the confirmed reply, Ma Shaojian took a deep breath and bowed to the end: "It is really a blessing for my Baochao Department to support me, and we have no objection!"

Zhang Bing is even more unquestionable. Although they are listed as one of the Eighth Bureaus of the Fourth Division, except for the straw treasury, they have no input at all, and can only receive a fixed "salary". Now a big man suddenly comes to ask them to help them, give them 10,000 taels of dividends a year, and give them five eunuchs in the prison. This is simply a pie that falls from the sky.

However, Zhang Bing thought of the procedures and the emperor agreed to the matter.

Eunuch Wei takes care of him. You just sign and the rest of the matter belongs to him.

Soon, he wrote an agreement. With the enthusiastic farewell from Baochao Company, Eunuch Wei went to Huntang Company again.

This institution is specifically responsible for hot water and sewer access in the palace. Logically speaking, this company has no help in the construction of the imperial army of Eunuch Wei, but Eunuch Wei still went to the company to reach a memorandum of cooperation with the Shaojian and others.
