Master Meng's common sense is not very good, but his premonition is still very accurate. The paper price increased to 131 gold coins on the second day, which really reached the level of a one-third increase in price.
Rainy days do not make trees grow better. Only a small number of trees prefer shade to accelerate growth. Most trees are not suitable for long-term wet weather, including the raw materials for making paper.
Because of the rain, Dongfang Herring didn't go out these days and hid in the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion does not have air conditioners and dehumidifiers, but there are magicians. Fire magicians are more effective than any air conditioners and dehumidifiers.
Lin Qian'er and Xiao Yiren knew that he was idle, so they naturally handed over the matter that needed his decision. There was no way to get it into their hands before, and they couldn't find Dongfang Herring. Wang Feiyan is a qualified secretary, but Dongfang Herring is not a qualified boss.
Dongfang Herring looked at the pile of documents, and he felt a little regretful, but looking at the rain curtain outside the field, he was really in a dilemma as to whether he had the courage to step out.
In the end, I had no choice but to pick up the document, which happened to be an urgent document about logging and papermaking sent from Nanban.
Continuous days of rain have made logging work difficult. Loggers cannot work outside for a long time, otherwise they will easily get sick. At Nanban, they didn¡¯t pay attention to this matter at the beginning. In fact, they are inexperienced. Many employees have already fallen ill.
However, this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that the trees absorb too much water, resulting in a decline in quality. The quality of the paper produced is only 90% or even lower than before.
In addition, wood will be affected by moisture during the process of transportation, storage, and manufacturing. The paper produced has a large number of inferior products, and the output is seriously reduced.
In addition, many players in Nanban were infected with the epidemic. They first coughed, then had a runny nose, then had a fever, and were weak all over. They would die after 48 hours.
Dongfang Herring was secretly startled, isn't this the flu?
"Who is that? Didn't Nanban say that there was only one person coming back? What's his name, I can't remember it all at once." Dongfang Herring asked Wang Feiyan.
"Pineapple fried rice." Wang Feiyan said.
"Does he have time now, ask him to come over, I have something to ask him." Dongfang Herring said.
"You are the boss, if you say you have time, he will have time." Wang Feiyan said.
"Your thinking is wrong. Regardless of status or position, we must respect everyone." Dongfang Herring said seriously.
"If I hadn't personally experienced the fact that I was often called up by you in the middle of the night, I would definitely believe your words." Wang Feiyan said.
"" Dongfang Herring said with a guilty conscience, "It's all for work."
Wang Feiyan called someone over within 3 minutes of leaving the house. It turned out that she had expected that Dongfang Herring might ask for pineapple fried rice to understand the situation, and asked him to wait in the City Lord's Mansion in advance.
"The report said that the trees absorbed too much water, which led to a decline in the quality of the paper produced. If I remember correctly, the trees have to go through a drying process, right?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"There are two main steps, one is air drying and the other is high temperature baking. In theory, there should be no difference between a little more water and a little less water that will be evaporated in the end, but in reality, the difference is very big, which belongs to technology. The above problem may be solved if the research is more thorough in the future, but there is no way to do it now." Pineapple Fried Rice replied that he was a very calm person, and he was not as trembling when he saw Dongfang Herring.
"That is to say, rainy days have a great impact on papermaking." Dongfang Herring said.
"It's huge!" replied Pineapple Fried Rice.
"What about the production? How much is the daily production now?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"Only 65.5% of the usual." Pineapple Fried Rice replied.
"Is the epidemic in the southern barbarians very serious? What about wizards and priests, don't you go to treat them? Or can't they be treated?" Dongfang Herring asked.
At this time .co m Zhang Si. "Wizards and priests can heal and can heal, but the efficiency is very low. Each wizard or priest can only heal 10-15 people a day, but there are as many as 1,000 players infected every day." Pineapple Fried Rice said.
"If you don't give treatment, will you die?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"Without any treatment measures, the fatality rate is 95.8%." Pineapple Fried Rice said.
"This is almost certain to die." Dongfang Herring said.
"The Nanban players more or less master some earthworks, some can save themselves, and some play themselves to death." Pineapple Fried Rice said.
"Perhaps they have the idea of ??treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor." Dongfang Herring felt that he still couldn't tease him, and asked: ??How do epidemics spread? Will it be brought to Yanhuang? "
强牺   读牺。 "It's mainly saliva and air. For a person infected with an infectious disease, the radius of 10 is a restricted area. The place where he stayed, within 60 minutes, the virus still survived Yes." Pineapple Fried Rice said.
"So scary!" Dongfang Herring was surprised.
"There is also a saying that the virus will spread along the running water, but this statement has not been confirmed." Pineapple Fried Rice said.
"Are there many people in our factory who are sick?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"0 people!" said Pineapple Fried Rice.
"No?" Dongfang Herring was a little strange, "Does infectious disease still recognize people?"
"Our living conditions are better. Our factory area has always paid attention to hygiene. Everyone's dormitory is distributed with charcoal. The room is very dry and there is no environment for the virus to survive. In addition, our factory management is strict, production and living Outsiders are not allowed to enter the area," said Pineapple Fried Rice.
"It rains every day and you have to go to work. Do the employees have any objections?" Dongfang Herring asked.
"No, the employees are very grateful." Pineapple Fried Rice said.
"Why is this?" Dongfang Herring was puzzled.
"It rains continuously, and many productions in the Nanman area are greatly affected, or stop, or reduce production, killing monsters, and doing tasks are the same. Only our factory is still working normally, which ensures the income of employees. In addition, we have also increased rainy weather subsidies. , the employees will only worry about not having a class, and will not feel that it is not good to go to work." Pineapple Fried Rice said.
"What is the salary level of Nanman now?" Dongfang Herring asked, and the pineapple fried rice continued for more than an hour before the pineapple fried rice was retired. Dongfang Herring basically understood the current situation of Nanban.
The impact of rain is all-round. Great changes have taken place in clothing, food, housing, and transportation. The most direct response is price increases, food prices, equipment prices, medicine prices, travel prices, and accommodation prices. Prices As the rain lasts, the range of price increases is expanding, and the amount of price increases is also increasing.
To control the big and to control the owl. Players are complaining, but there is nothing they can do. Production activities are decreasing, but living consumption is increasing, and price increases are inevitable. While the players were still hating the evil businessman, a piece of bad news came
