Chapter 75 Production of Paper

Chapter 75 After the pulp flows out, the workers in the production workshop turn on the switch on the bamboo pipe and start to let the pulp flow to the top of the finished wooden screen, and then rinse it with water to make the pulp evenly covered with gauze.

After all of them are filled, they will be put on the shelves next to them to dry for a while, and there are more than 200 people in the whole workshop doing such things, which can produce more than 200 large sheets of paper at one time.

Qin Huaidao stood there and looked at it, basically they can produce about 6 large sheets in one minute, these workers can produce 1,200 sheets in a minute, about 7,000 sheets in an hour, and in a day, if they work continuously, it is only about 100,000 sheets!

"It's still too slow!" Qin Huaidao stood there and spoke.

And the official of the Ministry of Industry is to stare at the paper that has been drying, this is not the last process, the last process is to push those shelves to the back of the greenhouse to dry, if it depends on natural drying, then I don't know when to go.

"It's paper, this is paper!" The official from the Ministry of Industry was very excited.

He had seen the papers that Qin Huaidao had brought, although they hadn't dried yet, but he could see that they were exactly the same, and they were all very white.

"Liu Qiyun, this hasn't been completely dried yet, after the entire frame is full, 200 sheets can be sent to the greenhouse!" Qin Huaidao walked over with his hands behind his back and said to the Ministry of Industry official.

"Hu Guogong, please accept the courtiers!" The official stood there solemnly, bowing deeply at Qin Huaidao.

"It doesn't have to be this way, please get up!" Qin Huaidao smiled and pulled Liu Qiyun up.

"Hu Guogong, don't you know the difficulty of reading for the children of the poor family, don't hide it from Hu Guogong, before the minister was fifteen years old, he didn't write on the paper, and he got a piece of rice paper in the back, and the minister put it well.

It took a whole year to take and copy an article that I thought was okay, and sent it to Mr.'s house for Mr. to point out!

Hu Guogong, in the future, the children of the poor families in the world will not be without paper, the ministers represent the children of the poor families, thank you Hu Guogong! Liu Qiyun wanted to bow again, but he was still stopped by Qin Huaidao.

"It doesn't have to be like this, this official is also sharing worries for His Majesty, and I hope that there will be more and more people in the world who read!" Qin Huaidao grabbed him and said.

"Yes, Hu Guogong is righteous!" The officer said again.

"Okay, keep an eye on this side, I'm going to look somewhere else!" Qin Huaidao patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Yes, Grandpa Guo, please rest assured!" Liu Qiyun nodded, clenched his fists and said.

Qin Huaidao went to other workshops to watch, he still felt that it was too slow, and he needed to increase the number of workers.

In fact, it is not slow now, producing 100,000 pieces of large paper a day, which is equivalent to 2 million pieces of rice paper, such a speed, that is quite amazing!

But Qin Huaidao considered that he needed to print books in the later period, and this bit of paper was really not enough.

The reason why Qin Huaidao didn't recruit so many people before was that he was still not sure whether such a production process would work, but now it seems that there is no problem, as long as the production workshop and workers are increased.

Qin Huaidao turned around with his hands behind his back, and Li Chongyi and the others rode over.

"Quick, Pepin, huh!" As soon as they rushed in and shouted Qin Huaidao, they immediately found that now the workers were already starting production!

"Already in production?" Fang Zhi ran quickly to the workers and watched them work.

"Yes, it will take time from production to finished paper, so I will arrange production first, and when His Majesty comes, I will be able to see the finished paper appear!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said to a few of them.

"By the way, quick, come with me, Your Majesty is coming, we need to wait at the door!" Li Chongyi pulled Qin Huaidao, and at the same time pulled Fang Zhizhi with one hand, Fang Zhizhi was now attracted by those papers.

"Let's go, it's not easy for you to see, this factory will be stared at by us in the future!" Zhang Shenzheng also pulled Fang Yi and said directly.

"It's really paper, it's really paper, have you seen it?" Fang Zhizhi said to them excitedly.

"We're not blind, Your Majesty is coming!" Li Chongyi said angrily to Fang Yi.

Fang Yizhi is the same as his father, he is also a weak scholar, but he really loves books as much as his life, and now that he sees the paper coming out, can he not be excited?

The other few people were not so excited, they were all military generals, and they all had a headache when they saw the books, they knew the effect of these papers when they came out, but they wouldn't be as excited as Fang Zhizhi!

And Qin Huaidao and they had just arrived at the gate of the paper mill, and His Majesty's carriage and a large number of civil servants and military generals came over.

"The ministers have seen Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao stood there and saluted His Majesty.

"Hahaha, Qin Huaidao, I've been looking forward to this news!" His Majesty was very happy to open the curtain.

The eunuchs and guards next to him immediately surrounded him and helped His Majesty down.

"Your Majesty, now the paper mill is already producing, but the paper has not yet come out completely, just wait for Your Majesty and the ministers to come, and when the time comes, it will be sent to the greenhouse, and after a quarter of an hour, you will be able to see the paper!" Qin Huaidao stood there and said to His Majesty.

And the other ministers also immediately dismounted, especially Wei Chi Jingde, who looked at the gate so neat and tidy at the moment, and also built the gatehouse, they couldn't help but nodded, since the construction of the paper mill, they have not been here!

"Let's go, Aiqing, let's go in and have a look, and see what these boys have made of the paper mill!" His Majesty said happily, and at the same time took Qin Huaidao's hand, and walked forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister should follow behind!" Qin Huaidao said a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect that His Majesty would take his hand.

"It's okay, let's go, if I see something I don't understand, I'll ask you!" His Majesty didn't let go of Qin Huaidao's hand, and kept walking inside.

When they got inside, they found that it was very neat, and the surfaces were paved with green bricks, and the key was that the houses were also very beautifully designed.

The blue brick house, with a cloister underneath, and in the open space in the distance, there are still a large number of workers working, and Your Majesty does not know what they are doing.

"What are they doing?" His Majesty asked, pointing to the group of workers in the distance.

"Get the pulp out of the big pit, through those bamboo pipes, Your Majesty, you see, there are all bamboo pipes over there, connected to the workshop, and the workers start production in the workshop!" Qin Huaidao followed His Majesty's explanation.

His Majesty nodded, and found that many of the houses here were designed to look very beautiful, but now his mind was still on the paper.

When he arrived at the production workshop of the paper mill, His Majesty saw that the workers were holding a bamboo pipe in their hands.

When the sieve was lowered, they turned on the switch and let the pulp run down, and when it was almost done, they turned off the switch, and then they shook the sieve in the water, and laid the pulp flat, and when it was done, they took it out and put it on the shelf next to it, very quickly.

"These machines were all designed by you, Pepin?" Zhang Liang, the Duke of Xunguo, saw that there were a large number of devices in the production workshop, and asked Qin Huaidao in shock.

"Yes!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"Exquisite, really very exquisite, Pepin's attainments in Gewu are not comparable to ordinary people!" His Majesty couldn't help but admire, and then went to the shelves, and saw that the layers of white paper were still in the baskets.

"Isn't it still possible?" His Majesty pointed to those baskets, looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"It's not yet, you still need to dry it, in fact, it's okay to put it outside to dry, or to dry it naturally, but it's so slow, and when it's full of a car, it will be sent to the back of the greenhouse to dry, about a quarter of an hour,

Your Majesty, there are still about 20 tickets in this car to be filled, and it is estimated that it will take a while! Qin Huaidao stood there and explained to His Majesty.

"Well, good, good!" His Majesty nodded approvingly.

And those civil servants revolved around those workers, and they all saw that these were papers, and some of them had used Qin Huaidao's paper, and they already knew that this thing was done!

"Peping, your ability, it is estimated that no one in the entire Datang can match, Datang has a talent like you, it is a blessing for Datang!" The prince stood behind and said with a smile.

"Minister, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" When Qin Huaidao heard the prince's words, he immediately turned around and said to the prince.

"No need to be polite!" The prince waved his hand as he looked over to the workers.

"My lord, those car racks are full, are they going to be sent to the conservatory?" Liu Qiyun came to Qin Huaidao's side at this moment and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Send, is the conservatory burning?" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"It's burned, it's been burning for a while!" Liu Qiyun replied.

"Then send it in!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

Soon, there were workers in charge of pushing carts, pushing those carts to the back of the conservatory.

Your Majesty, they are still watching the production of paper with great interest, and some ministers have already gone outside to see the pulp.

Especially the scholars of those families, they are very attentive to how this place is produced, and they want to know how to produce paper from those weeds and trees?

"Pepin, let's go, and accompany me outside to have a look!" His Majesty opened his mouth and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Your Majesty, it's a little hot!" Qin Huaidao hurriedly spoke.

"I can't stand this heat, I'm not that delicate!" His Majesty pointed at Qin Huaidao with his finger, shook his head with a smile and said.

Qin Huaidao also laughed, however, he hadn't found Li Zhi yet.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Cheng Zhisi not to inform Li Zhi!

As soon as he went out, Qin Huaidao saw Li Zhi standing on the edge of the pool outside, watching those workers work. One or two hundred people just came, and Qin Huaidao didn't see it clearly, but now he knew that Li Zhi was here.
