Watching everyone pour the corresponding pulp into the paper pool according to their own instructions, Bai Yang began to tell everyone to stir it.

"Seven, seven, do you not distinguish between positive and negative? I don't know from left to right? How you train when you're training, you can remember it wrong. ”

"Everyone remembers, from left to right is clockwise, from right to left is counterclockwise, think about the mechanical watch I make, the direction of the pointer movement is clockwise."

"The speed of the fifth and the sixth is too fast, and the constant speed and the uniform speed do not understand? It was so slow at the beginning, but now what is the rush to do, just keep the same speed and stir the edges as well. ”

"Eight, can't you see that big piece of fiber? Stir to a halt. ”

Bai Yang couldn't help it, he looked at several pools at the same time, and he couldn't roll up his sleeves to do it himself. Besides, this is not in line with his identity, if he really did this, it is estimated that Jia Xu and they would have come over to talk about him.

There's no way to let him command in the workshop now, who makes them no one. It is understandable to personally check the initial stage of the career, of course, this is also the result of Bai Yang's painstaking words several times.

These two times of making mechanical watches and paper may also be the limit of Jia Xu and others, and next time it is estimated that he will not be allowed to toss so much, it will be too dignified.

Without further ado, pull the camera to the workshop, everyone is working in full swing under the command of Bai Yang and Li Lao, and with the stirring of everyone, the fibers slowly melt in the water. Bai Yang saw that there were some that couldn't be dissolved, so he picked them out and asked a few of Li Lao's apprentices on the side to smash them again and put them back in after grinding them fine.

If you see a small impurity, you will immediately pick it out and throw it away. In this way, two hours passed unconsciously, and the original clear water in the paper pool slowly turned into a milky white liquid.

"Stop." Bai Yang looked at it almost, let everyone rest for a while, and called everyone over and pointed to the impurities floating on the paper pool: "Let's see, this is the fiber that everyone picked just now, and there are so many small impurities among them, and now they are all floating on it." Now let's slowly scoop out these impurities with a spoon, and try to scoop out the pulp as little as possible! ”

After everyone got the impurities out, Bai Yang instructed everyone to start stirring the pulp pool again, and he and Li Lao began to put the boiled gum in, and with the slow stirring, the pulp in each paper pool was undergoing different changes.

Looking at the slow change of the pulp in the pool, Bai Yang was overjoyed in his heart, there is not much in it, there is a kind of paper that can be turned into paper, then he has not been in vain in the past twenty days. In order to make paper, he also fought this time.

Bai Yang has been eating and living with Li Lao and them during this time, and his whole body has lost weight. I have to get up in the middle of the night every night to see things like the fiber cooking, and I also teach Li Lao and others how to distinguish the degree of cooking and the matters that need to be paid attention to. After all, if this time is successful, the rest of the work will be carried out by Li Lao and the others to start the papermaking work alone, and he still has a lot of things to do.

For the sake of papermaking, it has been seven or eight days since Zhou Cang, Zhuyan and others came back, and he didn't go to visit. As for the follow-up special training and the like, there is no way to carry out it for the time being.

During this time, it can be said that he has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, if there is something in the house, he usually simply orders and lets others do it, and he makes paper in the workshop, and almost never leaves the workshop.

Watching the pulp slowly form, Bai Yang commanded the sergeant behind him.

"You go and inform the elders, and ask him to call all the main personnel in the mansion here, and say that we are ready to start fishing for pulp and drying paper, and make the first piece of paper that belongs to our Taishou Mansion."

The sergeant heard Bai Yang's command, and after agreeing, he ran to find the elders. No matter how big the Taishou Mansion is, it is a big courtyard, so it only takes about ten minutes for the elders to lead everyone to the workshop.

Bai Yang took a look, good guy, it's quite complete! Jia Xu, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanqing, Zhu Yan, Hua Tuo, Zhu Lao, Sun Chen, Li Yu, Zhang Wen, Zhang Wu, Qian Wanli, Liu Yijian, Fu Tong, and Hu Zhi are all here.

"Lord, I know that you should almost have a result in the past few days, so everyone has not gone out, waiting to witness the birth of our paper." Jia Xu arched his hand.

As Jia Xu's words fell, everyone greeted Bai Yang one after another.

Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Bai Yang also greeted everyone one by one. After that, he said: "Everyone, everyone is here today, just come to witness the birth of our own first piece of paper." ”

Saying that, beckoning everyone to stand aside, Bai Yang asked a few sergeants to set up the paper curtains prepared in advance, which was actually to make a shelf on both sides of the pulp pool. Two ropes fell in the middle, and a square wooden shelf was placed on it, and a coarse cloth of just the right size was placed on the shelf, and a four-edged square wood was tied on both sides of the long axis of the coarse cloth, which was mainly used to facilitate handling.

"Come, let's come one by one, starting with the No. 1 pulp pool. Li Laoyi will squeeze and dehydrate the finished paper, and then slowly tear it up one by one to dry. After Bai Yang said to Li Lao, he walked towards the No. 1 pulp pool.

Pick up the quadrangular wooden shelf, put it in the pulp pool and scoop some and shake it from side to side to ensure that its thickness is uniform. After that, the excess pulp is discarded, and then some pulp is scooped up and shaken from side to side, and then the excess pulp is discarded. After repeating this three times, Bai Yang felt that it was almost the same, found a flat and smooth wooden board to wet it, took out the coarse cloth curtain from the wooden shelf, covered it on the wooden board, and picked it up from one side again. I saw a thin piece of paper formed, quietly placed on a wooden board.

Bai Yang then made more than a dozen sheets in the No. 1 paper pool, telling everyone the essentials and precautions of operation while doing it. Then we started with the second pulp pool. Bai Yang finally beckoned everyone to take turns to start doing it, so that everyone could familiarize themselves with the process, and he watched from the side. To be honest, it's not that he's doing better than others, after all, it's the first time he's doing this.

After instructing everyone to do the same, Bai Yang did not continue to care, but let them do it themselves. He took Li Lao and began to dry paper.

I found a clean board and put it on top of the one with the paper. Press the plank vigorously so that the main moisture inside it is quickly lost. After that, Bai Yang put the paper in a cool place, waited for about half an hour, and then gently opened it one by one, allowing Li Lao to dry it in the shade one by one.

Because the paper is still wet, it is very easy to tear, so Bai Yang has been emphasizing to everyone the places that need to be paid attention to and some skills, and repeatedly instructed everyone to handle it gently.

Seeing that the process of everyone's operation was almost complete, Bai Yang handed over all these tasks to Li Lao. Let him instruct everyone to make a dozen or twenty sheets in each pulp pool first, and wait for them to dry to see how the effect is.

Bai Yang saw that it was okay, so he went over to argue with everyone. Especially Zhou Cang, Zhu Yan and others, when they came back, several people in the mansion met for the first time, so they asked everyone's training and the situation of everyone and other questions.

However, Zhou Cang and the others didn't seem to want to tell him here, and every time they asked something, everyone on the side interrupted and talked about other issues. This made Bai Yang feel very strange, but he didn't keep chasing and asking, and after thinking about it, he had time to ask Zhou Cang. In his mind, there must have been nothing wrong, otherwise Jin Yiwei would have reported it a long time ago.

Unconsciously, in everyone's busyness, more than an hour has passed, and Mr. Li has instructed everyone to make a part of each pulp into paper and dry it separately.

Bai Yang looked at his watch, went over and touched the white paper made by the No. 1 pulp pool, it was all dry, and then instructed the sergeant to bring the brush and ink prepared in advance.

Everyone saw Bai Yang preparing the test strip, and they all gathered around to see the excitement.

Bai Yang picked up the No. 1 paper and saw that the paper was snow-white and translucent, and the thickness was just right. Roll it up and try it, no problem. I folded it a few times, and when I unfolded it, I saw that the creases in the paper had been broken. Alas! Paper No. 1 failed.

However, Bai Yang was not discouraged, and found a brush to write a few words on the paper. It may be the reason for the dilution of the pulp, which led to a large piece of it, and it was impossible to write at all. However, this kind of paper feels like it can paste the windows, which is a bit similar to the window paper in the previous life. But think about the current condition, if you use paper pasted windows, you can't let people scold to death.

In the next process, Bai Yang tested the paper made in each pulp pool one by one, and the results showed that the paper made in the No. 6 pulp pool was the best.

Bai Yang picked up this piece of paper, smooth, delicate, snow-white, full of toughness, and the most important thing is that there is no problem with writing. After looking left and right, he happily said loudly to everyone: "This official and the big guy finally made a good paper after twenty-four days this time. Now this official announces: This papermaking is a complete success, and the paper produced in the No. 6 paper pool is finally determined to be the paper for the future Taishoufu. Each master in the paper workshop will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, Li Lao will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver, and other people who are not in the workshop will also be rewarded according to their contributions. ”

"Thank you for your reward."

"Lord, it's amazing."

Hearing what Bai Yang said, everyone was very happy, and everyone was happy that Bai Yang was able to successfully make paper this time.

Jia Xu, Hua Tuo and others picked up the No. 6 paper and touched it, looked at it and looked at it. This kind of paper is in line with Bai Yang's current expectations in terms of softness and hardness or toughness, although it has a big gap with the paper of later generations, but it is much better than the Cai Hou paper of this period.

"Lord, I have been fortunate to see Cai Hou paper a few times, but it is much worse than the paper you made. Moreover, it is rumored that the manufacturing process is complex, and the difficulty of making paper is extremely high, and it is not much to make every year. I feel that the paper you made is too perfect, and it will be too convenient for us to keep records, study, etc., so you should give it a name. Jia Xu took the No. 6 white paper and said to Bai Yang excitedly.

Hearing Jia Xu say this, Hua Tuo also hurriedly said: "Lord, Yuanhua has also had the honor of using Caihou paper before, but Caihou paper can't be compared with our white paper at all. Look at the brightness, the smoothness, the toughness, how white you feel, you're so good, you should name this paper. Hua Tuo said and handed it to the elders, asking him to see how good the quality of the white paper was.

In fact, if you want to say that you have seen a lot of people, there are only Jia Xu and Hua Tuo, and the others have never seen paper at all, and most of them may not have heard of the word "paper" in their impressions.

"In this way, Elder Li, you will also record the recipe of the No. 2 paper later. And named the No. 2 paper toilet paper, which can be used when going to the toilet in the future. This kind of paper is only used in Taishoufu and is not sold out, so it is okay to produce it in small quantities. ”

Bai Yang thought about it just now, took the No. 2 paper and touched it, it felt very soft, and it was a fight with the toilet paper of later generations. It's sad to think about the days without paper, so I'll use this as toilet paper in the future. But if you write this is too bad, a drop of ink will not stain the whole sheet of paper black.

"After the No. 6 paper was mass-produced, the curtain for the pulp was made into a width of 50 centimeters and a length of 1 meter. In addition to our own use in the future, this kind of paper can also be sold or given away, and this kind of paper will be called Baiyang paper in the future! ”

"Okay, named after the lord, the lord will be enough to leave a name in history in the future. The birth of this kind of paper is the gospel of our readers! Lord, the birth of Baiyang paper is also a lot of help to complete the task some time ago, and I think those people will definitely come to visit the lord after knowing that Baiyang paper was invented by you. Jia Xu was very happy, in fact, Bai Yang's achievements are not small now.

Although the big talents he was looking for some time ago have some more or less personality, but Bai Yang is also a magistrate with great power in administrative and military affairs, don't you see that when many people in history took refuge in various big figures, most of the other party was still some school captain, county commander and the like. Bai Yang is much better than them now.

The second is the pinyin, simplified Chinese characters, simplified numbers, etc., which have not yet been circulated, otherwise famous people in the world would have come to seek after them. I can't imagine that now Bai Yang has invented mechanical watches and Bai Yang paper, each of which is a strange thing at that time, if everyone knows that these are Bai Yang's inventions, then everyone is not surprised!

"Lord, what is toilet paper for, do you need to use toilet paper for the toilet?" Zhou Cang saw that everyone was shocked by the birth of Baiyang Paper, and ignored the toilet paper, and didn't know what the soft one could do, so he asked casually.

"This toilet paper is mainly for everyone to clean up. This paper can be used to wipe your mouth after eating, wake up your nose, or clean up your personal hygiene when you go to the toilet. And it won't hurt everyone or feel uncomfortable during use, the most important thing is to clean up. For everyone's personal hygiene, I named the paper toilet paper. ”
