Li Yuanjia is still a little hesitant about the new digital game, but he has made up his mind to expand the production of playing cards.

Three hundred paintings a month must be produced!

And this is only a short-term plan. When the 20 people sent by Han Lucheng become familiar with the process and procedures, and after collecting more papermaking materials during the Spring Festival next year, the monthly output will reach at least one thousand pairs!

I dare not say if there are too many. We will make five or six thousand of them next year.

Don't look at the fact that Xinhua Bookstore sells at most a dozen or twenty copies every ten days, which is like hunger marketing. That's because Li Yuanjia never thought about producing too much. If he really let it go, he would be able to do it in a year

It is possible to make ten thousand copies of him!

It's just that we have enough manpower but not enough materials.

Special hard paper must be used to make playing cards, and the workshops outside the city have not made many in total. If you want to make them again, you have to wait until next spring to get a very special plant juice as an adhesive. So now

Transferring people can speed up the production and use up the remaining paper as soon as possible. On the other hand, it can also serve as a "talent reserve" to prevent new papermaking materials from being prepared for next spring but not enough people.

The reason for the massive production of playing cards is, of course, Arabic numerals.

While continuing to write on the white paper, Li Yuanjia thought silently: "If nothing else, if they can at least play poker, they will be able to recognize the numbers from 1 to 10, right?"

No matter what era, there are two things that always spread the fastest.

To put it simply, one is something that can make money, and the other is something that can make people happy. Cards cannot make money, but they can bring a lot of joy to people in this era, especially those who spend their daily lives

For women who have a lot of time, poker is much more interesting than other games.

Anyway, as long as mahjong is not taken out, Landlords and upgrades should be invincible in this era.

"well……"

Li Yuanjia couldn't help but sigh when he thought that he had to rack his brains to promote Arabic numerals in the Tang Dynasty. He felt that he must be the most miserable one among the time travellers...

…

As a superior person, Li Yuanjia's words would naturally cause the people below him to break their legs.

In just ten days, twenty smart... at least relatively smart young people set off from the Han Palace in the city and went to the farm outside the city to report. They will join the printing and papermaking workshops and start to learn how to

Make playing cards and strive to become a skilled printer or papermaker in the next few months.

At the same time, nearly forty teenagers were changed hands and became Li Yuanjia's slaves.

When Prince Han's Mansion wanted to buy someone, no matter whether it was the officials responsible for managing official slaves or the traffickers in Chang'an City, they naturally did not dare to neglect them. They quickly selected from their "inventory" those who were between twelve and fifteen years old.

Healthy and literate teenagers were all sold to Han Lucheng.

Fair prices and considerate service.

Anyway, when the thirty-six teenagers stood in front of Li Yuanjia, all of them were wearing new clothes. Although they were still made of burlap, they were clean and tidy, and...

"Everyone has taken a shower and their hair is neatly combed."

Standing next to Li Yuanjia, Han Lucheng whispered: "And we have checked, there is nothing wrong with the body, but some people are a little thinner."

"Haha, that doesn't matter, it will be fine in a few days."

Being thin is normal. After all, except for those beautiful female slaves, who would be willing to provide these boys with good food and drink every day?

If I can eat enough every day, I will be back soon.

Li Yuanjia was concerned about another thing and asked in a low voice: "Have these people read books?"

"I have read them all, the king said, and the worst one has read them for three or four years!"

"Oh really?"

After listening to Han Lucheng's words, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and his eyes immediately became quite surprised when he looked at these thirty or so teenagers.

The cost of studying for a year these days is not low. Even if it is an ordinary private school, the fees and various expenses are comparable to the private aristocratic schools of the future. Ordinary people will definitely not be able to afford it. As for children from "untouchable" families, that is even more

Don’t even think about it! And if you can study for three or four years in one go, the expense will make the landlords extremely heartbroken.

Therefore, these thirty-odd young men must have been consigned to low status due to their crimes!

In other words, they were all supposed to be from official families...at least they were the sons of wealthy families?

"Really, Your Majesty."

Seeing Li Yuanjia's surprised look, Han Lucheng nodded quickly and said, "Some of the oldest ones have even been reading for seven or eight years and know more words than me!"

"Ah, very good!"

Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Having become slaves when they were teenagers, those children were indeed worthy of sympathy... Well, Li Yuanjia had to admit that he didn't feel much sympathy in his heart at this time, and the only thing left was satisfaction.

The sons of ordinary slaves naturally do not have the qualifications and conditions to read and read, so these young men must have fallen from the position of young masters and become slaves. Most of such changes can only be due to one reason.

It means a serious crime has been committed in the family.

Twenty years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, large-scale wars had long ended.

Slaves from the previous dynasty, or slaves captured in large-scale wars, and those who had studied for a few years, must be at least in their thirties, right?

So these young men should be the children of the family who participated in the rebellion in recent years.

Although the education in his previous life told Li Yuanjia that young people should be innocent and should not be harmed like this, everything he saw in this life told Li Yuanjia that this era does not believe in the word innocent. The choices of his parents have made

It is natural for the younger generations to bear the consequences...

The only thing Li Yuanjia can guarantee is that he can treat these teenagers well.

At least no one in Prince Han's Mansion would blatantly bully them, let alone put their lives in danger, and as long as they worked honestly, they would definitely be able to eat well and wear warm clothes, and their lives would be happier than those of ordinary Tang Dynasty civilians.

So when Han Lucheng stood aside, Li Yuanjia took a step forward and glanced at the teenagers in front of him.

Their faces were either panic, fear, stubbornness, or sadness. Everyone had different psychological activities, just like each of them had their own story.

But for Li Yuanjia, these are not important.

He doesn't care about these people's past, all he wants is their future.

So he quietly looked at the teenagers in front of him until many of them began to look uneasy. Then Li Yuanjia smiled slightly and said, "I know you are not willing to be a bitch for the rest of your life.
Chapter completed!
