Chu Tianxiu took Di'er and Zu'er to build a new paper-making workshop with dozens of acres of land outside Jinling City, under the severe cold wind and snow of Layue, and supervised every papermaking link.

Subsequently, he asked Sun Laojiang to be the owner of the workshop, Di'er sent someone to supervise the work, and he was the shopkeeper.

Old Craftsman Sun is very cautious in doing things, and his brain is quite flexible, and he has been included in Li Yu's food and yi account, and he is relieved to hand it over to him.

...

Only a few days later, as soon as it was Layue, the old craftsman Sun hurriedly came to the Pingwang Mansion with a new stack of paper to ask to see Chu Tianxiu.

The little marquis had ordered him to supply a batch of paper as quickly as possible.

Naturally, Old Craftsman Sun didn't dare to slack off, so he hurried up to work and presented paper to Chu Tianxiu.

Inside the study.

"Little Hou Ye, the first batch of paper has been made."

Old craftsman Sun leaned over, trembling with excitement, and offered a small stack of new paper with both hands, "This first batch of more than 100 pieces of paper was made in the hemp paper workshop, using some hemp pulp left over from the past, and adding a lot of broken hemp rope, broken fishing nets and old bark, and the cost has been reduced by seven or eight percent."

Then, use the improved plant ash process you have taught you to make the fastest samples by steaming and drying paper.

The time is short, the cost is low, and the quality is especially high. This is the only paper on the market. Such a good piece of paper, even if it sells for fifteen or twenty copper coins, it is no problem, and the sales volume is even higher! ”

"So fast!"

Chu Tianxiu took the new stack of paper in surprise and took it in his hand to look at it carefully.

The paper feels delicate and soft, and the color is slightly pink.

The quality of this paper has been improved several times compared with hemp paper. Even if it is made in a hurry, the process is close to the Caihou paper of later generations.

In this first small batch, the cost has been greatly reduced by as much as seven or eight percent.

Even if it still sells for ten yuan, there must be many rich and noble families who are willing to buy it, and the profits are extremely rich.

When his new papermaking workshop started, the second batch of paper was made continuously, and the cost could be directly reduced to one percent, about ten pieces of a penny.

Yu'er also has more than 10 stores of her own in Jinling City, and even the shop middlemen are saved.

Self-produced and self-sold, no middlemen to make the difference.

It can fully control the upstream and downstream of the paper industry.

It's a blast!

Chu Tianxiu thought in his heart, took a deep breath, and the light fragrance on the paper was palpable, which made people love it, "What kind of incense are you using?" ”

"Back to the little marquis, when I was making paper, plum blossoms were used in the water, and the color of the paper was a little pink, and there was a faint fragrance of plum."

Old craftsman Sun said happily: "Little Marquis, this paper is so outstanding, it is completely different from the previous hemp paper, and there is no hemp paper workshop in Jinling City that can be compared."

But a name for it? It's called incense paper, plum blossom paper or something, to distinguish it from hemp paper. As soon as others heard it, they knew that it was the paper produced by Hou Ye's workshop. ”

When Chu Tianxiu heard this, his eyes moved slightly.

This old craftsman Sun is really very flexible, and he also knows the exclusive naming.

"This paper is my invention, and I am the hereditary Dull Marquis title, so I will name it 'Dusk Marquis Paper'! Let everyone in the world know, don't think that this little dusk is just a fool, that is also a big ability! ”

Chu Tianxiu pondered for a moment and said with a smile.

"Little Marquis, the name you took... That's great! ”

Old Master Sun choked for a moment and smiled awkwardly.

The little marquis's paper-making skills, he witnessed it with his own eyes and admired the five-body throwing to the ground. However, the reputation of the little marquis is really not very good.

Take the name of the faint paper... Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood!

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, whatever name the little marquis liked, he only applauded.

Zu'er was beside him, tilting his head curiously and looking at a small stack of papers in Chu Tianxiu's hand.

She also loved it very much, and exclaimed, "Uncle, such a beautiful paper, it is pale pink and fragrant, I have never seen it."

Uncle is going to use them to copy the classics? I heard that there are many poor scholars in Jinling City, who have no books at home, and often carry more than a dozen empty bamboo slips on their backs, go to the rich and noble book collection house, and borrow books and copy books.

My uncle used these new papers to copy books, which was very beautiful and light to carry! ”

When Chu Tianxiu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Uncle Ben has traveled through the past and the present, what books do you need to copy?" Zu'er, you go and pile these new papers in the thatched house in the small bamboo forest! ”

This first batch of 100 pieces of dusk paper was enough for a month, and finally alleviated the extreme shortage of paper in the thatched house.

"Huh!? ... Heap thatched houses? ”

Zu'er's eyes widened in an instant, looking at her uncle.

What was my uncle thinking? ... Do such a tyrannical thing.

Shouldn't such a good piece of paper, a rare treasure in the world, be used to copy expensive books!

Good paper with good books is worth the money.

She said cautiously: "Uncle... If the county lord finds out, I'm afraid he will be angry! ”

"Why is she angry? With the paper in the thatched house, she should be happy. I also deliberately added the fragrance of petals to the paper for the county lord, smelling the light fragrance and feeling relaxed. Aunt Ben is so gentle and considerate, she can't be happy. ”

Chu Tianxiu laughed.

As a modern youth, the life of traversal is to pay attention to taste.

The marquis, county lord, and prince of the dignified Chu Dynasty, what does it mean to poke their butts with "toilet chips" in the last thatched house?

He is contributing to the Ping Mansion and greatly improving the quality of life of his Peace Palace.

As for those sour Confucian scholars who read and copy books, it's all a trivial matter, so let's line up at the back... He was in a good mood that day.

Solving the problem of quality of life first is his top priority after crossing.

He could even imagine how much Li Yu loved this pale pink fragrant faint paper. Even if she didn't say it, thinking that she had spent so much time giving her a gift, her heart was beautiful.

Zu'er's eyes widened.

Chu Tianxiu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, put this stack of paper in the thatched house of the small bamboo forest." In the future, the new paper sent by the workshop will first fill all the thatched houses in the palace.

By the way, send three people to guard the paper of the marquis. Uncle Ben is not a stingy person either. It's okay to use it, but it's absolutely not okay to steal! ”

Anyway, the new paper workshop has been completed, and there will be a lot of paper in the future. As an aunt of the palace, we must also improve the quality of life of everyone.

Zu'er's persuasion was useless, so she could only cry and do what her uncle told her.

Old Craftsman Sun was stunned, he didn't dare to say anything, he didn't dare to ask anything.

His scalp was tingling, his eyes were in awe, and he bowed away.

has lived for most of his life, and he has always been just a small person with little vision in the hoop bucket lane of Changle Street, and he has hardly seen much of the outside world.

Sigh!

I've seen it for a long time, I've seen it for a long time!

I finally saw what it means to be a prince and a general's extravagant life.

Xiao Hou Ye spent thousands of taels of silver, mobilized hundreds of workers to build a workshop, greatly improved the papermaking process, and created a rare faint Hou paper in the world. It's just paper for thatched houses.

No wonder the little marquis made a request, this paper must be fragrant, fragrant, to cover the evil spirit.

This is the daily life of a prince!

It's not the nonsense of the uninformed boys in the city at all, the princes love to eat big cooking cakes, eat one, lose one.

He originally thought that the little marquis could not even learn how to make paper, and he must be a generation of geniuses who were misunderstood by the world. Now we know that the first of the four great gentlemen in Jinling is worthy of its name!
