"It's... What kind of paper is this? So much? Fang Yanqian picked up the paper in front of him, observed it and said in surprise.

"Not bad! This is a new paper made by the craftsman after dozens of experiments! Not only is it easy to write, but it's also easy to save! Zou Yu also felt proud.

Paper has been available for a long time, but it's all used to wrap something, or glue windows or something. Good paper for writing is basically made of silk, which is very expensive, not affordable for ordinary people, comparable to the weight of gold.

Poor paper is also made of hemp, bark, etc., and the materials required are not so easy to find, or the number of them is not enough. Therefore, the price of paper that can be used for writing has remained high.

In the past, to make paper, it was necessary to soak the material for four to six months, and then go through a series of procedures to make it, almost a batch of finished products, which took more than half a year.

Now it is boiled directly with water, the wheat straw, bamboo, and hemp are boiled into a pulp, and then put them in the pool, and the sticks are driven by a waterwheel, stirring constantly, and then rinsed with clean water.

Soak the rinsed fibers with salt and alkali, stir them again and again, and rinse them again and stir them again after a few days; After repeating this several times, the fibers become pulp, and the rest of the process is no different.

The improved method mainly lies in steaming and stirring, coal burning is more convenient and cheaper than firewood, think about how much firewood is needed, and it has to be moved from a distance, even if it is piled up, it is probably a small mountain.

The waterwheel drives the stick to stir, and compared with the use of workers, the efficiency and effect are far away. A large pool of pulp fiber, manpower stirring is difficult to imagine, it takes several young people to work non-stop.

There is also flushing, there is a water wheel, and the water can be released from the pool with a bamboo tube, this series of procedures, I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been saved.

Speaking of paper, because the stirring is more uniform, the cooking effect is better than fermentation, and the bleaching with salt and alkali makes it more white and delicate.

"Good stuff! It's not much worse than silk paper, how about the price? Fang Yanqian put down the blank paper and exclaimed.

As a literati, I have naturally seen a lot of paper, but most of it is used by others, and I occasionally use a little, and I also use it by cutting.

Generally speaking, even if it is a wealthy family, they only buy a dozen or so large ones, cut and use them, where is like Zou Yu, and a large stack is placed directly in front of everyone.

"It's just the beginning now, and the price is almost a penny, and when the technology matures, it will definitely be lowered." Because it is written with a brush, the size of the production is A3 generally, Yan Liben proudly introduced.

"This! It's incredible! It's so cheap, you can completely use bamboo slips in the future. Lu Xin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, groped for the paper and sighed.

"Of course, in the future, all the government offices will use paper, and you will pay more than 100 pieces of paper every month." Zou Yu said with a smile.

"The prince is wise!" Everyone was overjoyed and offered their farts in unison.

"Hehe, the princes are busy for the court, so it's just a little careful."

"This weather, drinking this tea, writing a few articles, it's really a beautiful thing!" Pei Shiqing sighed.

"It's coming soon, the second batch of renovated new houses is about to be completed, but it's smaller, not so wide." Zou Yu said with a smile.

"Enough, enough, as long as there is this summer house built by the prince, it is enough." Pei Shiqing said with a happy smile.

People like Lai Hong and others who didn't catch up with the first batch of housing allocations were all happy when they heard the words, this kind of enjoyment, but the royal family didn't have it before.

If you want to say that the rich family used to have ice cellars, but the ice cellars could not store much ice, even if the head of the family, they had to save money, where like this kind of house, there is no heat at all, and the whole family can enjoy it.

"I also prepared a gift for everyone, but this item is currently valuable, so don't spread it for the time being!" Zou Yu clapped his hands lightly and said.

The white paper house just now has already surprised everyone, and when he saw Zou Yu at this time, he also said that there was a gift, which almost belonged to the finale, and it must be precious, and everyone looked at the door intently.

At the door of the conference room, Xi Junmai led a group of guards to enter, each holding a box in his hand and gently placing it in front of everyone.

Except for Yan Liben, everyone looked at Zou Yu and waited for him to speak. Zou Yu stretched out his hand and motioned for them to look at it for themselves.

"Wow!"

"This is..."

"This is..."

"Suck!"

As soon as the box was opened, there was a burst of surprises in the conference room, and some people gasped.

"This is a glass mirror?" It took a while for someone to come back to their senses from their surprise.

"Fang Lao is right, this is the glass mirror!"

"It's... It's too precious! Fang Yanqian looked at his clear face in the mirror, retracted his gaze and said.

"Yes, such a clear glass mirror is simply priceless!" Lu Xin nodded in agreement.

The people in the conference room have basically seen glass, but no one has ever seen such smooth and clear glass.

"So much! I'm afraid I can really change one or two cities! Everyone who came back to their senses reacted to the fact that in front of everyone, there was a side, although they were only the size of a human face, it felt incredible.

After seeing enough of everyone's shocked looks, he satisfied the little bad taste in his heart, and said with a smile: "A little gift, don't care too much." ”

Fang Yanqian, who is still the oldest, was the first to calm down, after all, people are old and have already seen through everything, and they were just too surprised just now.

"The prince said that it is too expensive at the moment?" Fang Yanqian asked.

"Yes." Zou Yu nodded.

"In other words, it won't be expensive in the future, is it also our own production?" Fang Yanqian continued to ask.

Hearing Fang Yanqian's question, everyone looked at Zou Yu and wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Fang Lao, you guessed it right, this is also the credit of the craftsman!" Zou Yu nodded to confirm his guess.

"The prince has won the award, these are all the secret recipes you provided, the craftsman is just a handicap, even if there is no them, any craftsman can do it." Yan Liben shook his head and said.

At first, Zou Yu asked him to arrange for someone to burn a pile of limestone and stones, and he felt strange and puzzled. In particular, there is no accurate formula, and even the specific ores used are not clear, which is a bit urgent.

Fortunately, he knew that Zou Yu would definitely not deliberately tease him, so he honestly made ten large graphite stoves and conducted experiments.

It took a month to find the formula, and then it took another month and hundreds of times to find out the mixture. It took another half a month to really make a batch of finished products.

For these clever generals, the most difficult thing is the formula, the technical content, and it is completely difficult for them.

How to make the glass reduce air bubbles, how to make it shape, and even make patterns, each batch can play different tricks.

This was thanks to Zou Yu's order, which liberated their minds, and Zou Yu ordered that whoever could improve the instrument or invent a new and useful thing would be rewarded.

This reward is not just talk, such as the craftsmen who improved the crossbows and the catapults, and the catapults, and rewarded them with a large amount of goods every day, as well as land and houses.

This is a real reward, as a face to everyone, just piled up there, and the treatment every month, all of them have been improved.

Zou Yu knew that the glazed ware was blown out, and it was definitely not clear how to get it, but it still didn't stump them, and all kinds of shapes were also presented.

For them, the difficulty of flat glass is there, mainly because bubbles are difficult to avoid, but after a period of exploration, there is still half the success rate, as for the bubbles, it is used to make glass windows.

"Although ordinary craftsmen can make it, there is definitely no one who can do it well, and I am very surprised to make so many finished products at one time." Zou Yu said with emotion.

"What do you mean, Lord Wang, this can be made in large quantities?" The Yin World Master asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, don't spread it, because I need to use this to make a lot of money from other people!" Zou Yu nodded and said.

"It's going to make a lot of money! Such a treasure, if it weren't for the prince, you would have been willing to buy it with all your money. Lu Xin said excitedly.

"Guanzhong, Hebei, Luoyang, Jiangnan, Jianghuai, Longyou, every city, don't let go, send merchants to sell a batch! Can't be too much, let them compete, the highest price wins!

This matter will be handled by the Pei family, the Lu family, the Wang family, the Xue family, and the six families in Jiangnan! As for how to divide it, you can discuss it yourself, even if it is sold to Lingnan. This time, all the money will be handed over, and in the future, these places will also be responsible for you, and the property obtained will become taxes! Zou Yu tapped lightly on the table and said.

Zou Yu's words made everyone stunned, they didn't expect him to directly distribute such a big business to his subordinates. Although the world is in chaos now, it is still very simple for the family to take a caravan.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Pei Shiqing, Lu Xin, and Xue Wanshu got up and said excitedly.

"You support this king, this king naturally can't treat everyone badly, but this king's ugly words are ahead, and in the future, the oppression of the people and the encroachment of the fields will never be allowed to happen." Giving a sweet jujube, Zou Yu took the opportunity to beat it seriously.

"Xia Guan guarantees that this kind of thing will never happen!" Lu Xin replied solemnly.

"This king has an idea, to ensure that everyone will be rich in the world in the future, so don't stare at that little thing in the ground, think about it, what is the price of these colored glass sold to the Western Regions." Zou Yu analyzed them.

"Xia Guan understands!" Lu Xin nodded vigorously and said, he thought of what kind of sensation this kind of mirror would cause if it was sold to the Western Regions, and his body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
