Chapter 37 I didn't expect the paper to be made first was toilet paper
The Yan Kingdom in the seventh year of King Wucheng was very unpeaceful. The Yan army, which originally wanted to follow the powerful Qin army to attack Zhao and gnaw a piece of meat from Zhao, was severely attacked by the Qi and Zhao coalition led by Tian Dan, the general of Qi, and Zhongyang, an important town in the south, was also occupied.
There was a sudden chaos in the court, and the result was that Rong Yan, the general who led the army to attack Zhao, was deprived of the title of Gaoyangjun by King Yan, removed all his positions, and rushed back to his fiefdom.
Ben also had to worry about the more than 100,000 refugees who had been created, and he was afraid of chaos in the country. As a result, when I heard that all the Liaocheng monarchs in Liaodi had been moved to Liaodi, the ministers in the court were relieved.
After the matter calmed down, the lords and nobles of the court still lived an arrogant and lascivious life. No one thought about the soldiers who died on the battlefield, and their tearful families; No one thought about the hundreds of thousands of refugees created by the war.
And the officials and people of Liaodi are not idle. In the cold winter, the men were gathered together again to build roads and bridges, open canals and reservoirs, open up wasteland to build fields, and cut down trees to build houses. The women were also assigned to flood them with military uniforms, shoes, bedding, masks, gloves, etc.
But looking at the bright knife in his arms, and the vision of a happy life next year, these are nothing.
In this way, the people of Liaodi are about to usher in the new year in the busy winter.
After the stable output of steel, after Ji Kang came to this world, the heaviest obsession in his heart was finally let go. In the future, it is a matter of summing up experience and expanding production, and with your own presence, this matter should be very fast.
In the past few days in Anshan, I have set my sights on another important industry, which is papermaking.
In the paper mill in Anshan Industrial Zone, accompanied by Shi Xiaosong, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, Ji Kang inspected the papermaking process one by one.
Shi Komatsu, who was transferred from the wood factory to the paper mill, was appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Works, and his fighting spirit is now unprecedentedly high.
Following behind Ji Kang, he kept introducing: "Childe, you see that our first procedure has abandoned the method of mixing straw and bark, and instead used several different cement pools to test which material is more suitable. After testing, the bark was soaked for the longest time, but the final paper was black and yellow. But if you soak it out of straw, the paper will be whiter.
Childe, you see this second procedure, which is to let the hollow steel ball made by the steel mill fill the soaked raw materials into the steel ball according to the drawings you draw, so that people can rotate continuously to ensure that the raw materials in the steel ball are heated evenly during baking.
Childe, look at the third procedure, we have built several stone grinding discs according to your suggestion, and the baked raw materials are crushed on this grinding disc, and then poured into the pool for sprinkling into the curtain......"
……
"Childe, this is one of the pieces of paper we produce. But it's too soft, and it's not white enough! ”
This is when Shi Xiaosong, the director of the paper mill, finally took out a few pieces of paper produced and let his little prince watch it. Seeing that his own monarch's eyes widened, he was looking at one of the pieces of paper, and hurriedly introduced.
Seeing his little prince, he had already rushed forward, and after touching the paper with his hand, a bright smile appeared on his little face.
"Director Shi, have you recorded the raw material process time of this paper?"
"Childe Qiyu, it's all recorded."
Ji Kang continued to ask, "Can this paper be mass-produced?" ”
Paper mill Shi Xiaosong wondered. "Childe, no problem. But this paper doesn't meet your requirements! ”
"Haha, Director Shi, I'll give you a credit now. This paper is very useful! Think about it, don't you go to the latrine? This paper is just right to use! Ji Kang laughed.
Shi Kang next to him realized that he opened his mouth again in surprise.
Ji Kang didn't expect that the paper mill now didn't produce the white paper he needed, but made toilet paper first.
Shi Xiaosong stammered a little: "Childe, this ...... This is indeed a substitute for 'toilet chips'. This ......"
It's embarrassing!
With charcoal, draw the final pattern of the toilet paper on the silk silk.
Ji Kang continued to laugh and said, "Director Shi, this paper is specially built for a process, and finally cut into the pattern I draw. You organize people now, and immediately start producing this paper in large quantities. I'm going to take it with me when I'm gone. ”
"No."
"In addition, don't stop the research of the blank paper, you see, this paper has almost met our requirements, but there may be some problems in the fifth process of paper pressing, the paper is relatively loose and the interval is too large. Next, try again as I tell you. ”
"No."
……
Ji Kang, who returned to Xiangping City, was threatening Shi Kang in the study.
"You go and send this paper to Qingzhu and Qingmei. Tell them what the paper is for, and tell them that the women don't need any strips of cloth when they come every month. ”
Shi Dang wrinkled his face, very reluctant: "Childe, how embarrassing is this!" This...... Childe, you better tell them personally! Okay? ”
"To go or not to go? If you don't go, ......". Ji Kang continued to threaten.
"Childe, this ...... Okay, okay, I'll go. ”
Shi Dang drooped his face and gave in.
The next day, Qingzhu and Qingmei, who went to Xiangping Academy with Ji Kang, blushed when they saw Ji Kang.
However, he still came over generously and said to Ji Kang: "Thank you, son." ”
"It's okay, it should be." Ji Kang's face turned red, and he and Shi Kang hurriedly boarded the van to the academy.
Subsequently, this toilet paper was first spread to all the homes of officials and officials in Xiangping City, and was warmly welcomed by everyone.
Su Qing, who has now been promoted to a doctor in the Ministry of Commerce, immediately grabbed Jun Xiangjuxin and came to the door.
"Childe, many businesses are willing to invest in this toilet paper! They have broken down my door for the past two days. Childe, the profit of this paper is no less than that of cloth! Su Qing shouted.
Jun Xiangju Xin also said embarrassedly: "Childe, this toilet paper is available to everyone in the world, and it is unique to me." The huge profits can make our Liaodi finances go to a higher level! ”
Ji Kang also smiled, and said in his heart, is this right!
Said to Ju Xin and Su Qing: "Okay! Let's still invest in the previous shares! Establish a paper company that can be sold. The money invested by these merchants can also make our research and development of paper smoother. ”
then said to the drama Xin: "The drama is about December." We must complete the assessment of the officials and officials of all counties and ministries and commissions by the end of the year. And we must fulfill our previous promise, so that the officials, officials and people of Liaodi can have a good year, which will also be conducive to our work next year! ”
Ji Xin nodded and said, "Childe, it should indeed be expanded." However, according to the practice of Yan State, the assessment and reward of officials are carried out after the Chinese New Year, or the assessment in December cannot be counted. ”
Ji Kang thought about it and said to the drama: "Drama, we have to advance this work." In the future, our work appraisal will be carried out until the end of November throughout the year, and the assessment in December will be accumulated to the second year. In this way, our rewards can be distributed to everyone before the end of the year. ”
After thinking about it, Ju Xin also said: "Childe, I understand, in the future, my assessment in Liaodi will be handled according to what Childe said." This will also allow us to plan next year's work in advance, which is very important for us in Liaodi. ”
Ji Kang frowned, and then asked: "Drama, after we are assessed at the end of the year, we must fulfill our promise and give everyone rewards, and there is no problem with financial expenditure, right?" ”。
Ju Xin smiled at Ji Kang and said, "Childe, from the second half of this year, our finances will not be short of money. Mainly the two industries of salt and cloth, Yan and the surrounding countries and regions now rely on our salt and cloth!
Especially for us, the further processed white refined salt and woven cloth with patterns are even more expensive than gold, and the supply exceeds demand. Although more than 100,000 refugees have just been resettled, there is no problem at all in paying the rewards of officials. ”
After hearing this, Ji Kang clapped his little hands and said happily: "That's good, that's good." As long as this year passes, by next year, as our industry expands, our financial revenue will be better.
Now that the road leading to the gold mine in Anshan has been repaired and the gold mine factory has been established, we will be able to issue our own currency by next year, which is another great financial support for us in Liaodi, and it is also a strong support. ”
Ji Xin and Su Qing looked at their little Junhou with a happy look, and both smiled on their faces. I said in my heart: Childe, grow up quickly! Now do you know? How many people's hopes are placed in you!
