Seeing Liu Bei, who was only about ten years old in front of him, Hua Tuo really believed in this little kid in his heart, but he still asked with some concern: "It's not a little money to open a medical center in the world to teach students, where does the money come from, I don't want my medical skills to become a tool for you to make money!" ”

"Sir, rest assured, I will not do these unkind and moral things, Mr. and rest in Zhuo County for a few days, when my side is ready, please ask Mr. to watch it, and then Mr. will decide whether to follow me and work with me for the benefit of the people of the world!" Liu Bei bowed and said!

"Okay, I'll wait for you for a few days to see if you can complete this dream of mine, if you can complete this dream, I Hua Tuo will sell it to you in this life!" Hua Tuo said in a deep voice!

"Sir, let's wait and see!" After saying that, Liu Bei turned around and left the inn!

"I don't want to build a medical center in Dahan now, but I can start to build one or two medical centers, and then I have this financial resources in the future, and then increase it in various states and counties, but at this stage, the main thing is to solve the problem of money, I don't want to make money like Liu Zhuqian in history!"

Liu Bei thought so!

"Now in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is already Cai Lun paper (the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Yuanxing (105 AD), Cai Lun in the summary of the experience of the predecessors in the manufacture of silk fabrics, invented the use of bark, broken fish nets, rags, hemp and other raw materials, made into a suitable writing plant fiber paper, so that paper has become a commonly used writing material.

This paper is cheap, of high quality, and the raw materials are easy to find, so it is gradually becoming popular. By the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the use of paper had been fully popularized and gradually spread to neighboring countries, contributing to the development of culture around the world. ）

At this time, the paper has begun to use plant fibers but also needs to adapt to fishing nets, linen and hemp and other finished products such as linen, while raw materials such as bark are relatively scarce, so the cost is still quite high, and there is no large-scale use, and the more widely used is still bamboo slips, cloth and paper are only used at the aristocratic level.

And my Liu family has been paper workers in Chengdu for generations, and I am very familiar with the whole papermaking process, so I can get money as soon as possible with cheap paper! Looking at the surrounding trees and rice fields, Liu Bei thought.

According to the current production and living conditions, it is not possible to make paper in a mechanical way in the future, but I can take out the papermaking process when my grandfather was doing experiments at home in his time, and this process can be copied under the current conditions, but now I am looking for a trustworthy person to help me take care of this matter, but I have to make a part of the finished product before finding this person.

After that, Liu Bei rushed home, used the tools at home, and first chopped the wheat straw and rice straw with a knife. The chopped wheat straw and rice straw are then ground in a mill, then vigorously hammered, then steamed with lye, rinsed with lime water, and so on many times.

In the stone mortar, the raw materials are mixed with an appropriate amount of water to completely separate the fibers and soak them in water, become a suspension of paper fibers, and then pour them into the paper tank.

Then the cooled pulp is evenly scooped up with a bamboo curtain to make paper film, and then the paper film is folded and pressed tightly with a wooden board, the water is squeezed out, dried, and then cut into the same size of paper, and the paper is made!

This simple stack of paper, Liu Bei took almost four days to make it all, looking at this stack of paper that was whiter than the yellow paper made by the process at that time, much cleaner, and smoother, Liu Bei smiled proudly.

These papers are made quickly in a hurry, and they are not the best and most beautiful papers, and when they are mass-produced in the future, they will be even more beautiful!

After that, Liu Bei took this stack of more than 100 pieces of paper to find his childhood playmate Jian Yong, although Jian Yong was from Liu Bei to play from childhood to adulthood, but he was three years older than Liu Bei, was born in 158, and is now 12 years old (there was no solar calendar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so they are the actual age of the general).

Today's Jian Yong is already well-known in the surrounding area, and Liu Bei originally planned to accept him under his command after Jian Yong really grew up in a few years, but now for Hua Tuo, and in order to be able to conquer the world one step ahead of others in the future, he can only accept Jian Yong now.

Liu Bei is not worried about whether he can win Jian Yong, Jian Yong usually listens to himself when they play together, and Jian Yong is not a diehard loyalist of the Han Dynasty, as long as he is given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and glorify his ancestors, he can completely win Jian Yong!

Thinking about it, Liu Bei arrived at the door of Jian Yong's house, "Jian Yong, Jian Yong, are you at home?" As soon as he arrived at the door of Jian Yong's house, Liu Bei shouted!

"Yo, it turned out to be you Liu Bei, my uncle died, why didn't you stay at home, I originally wanted to go to you, but considering that my uncle just died, I didn't go, I didn't expect you to come to my house instead! Say, what are you looking for me? As soon as Jian Yong saw Liu Bei coming, he asked happily! By the way, Liu Bei was also allowed into the house.

"Jian Yong (Jian Yong has not yet performed the crown salute at this time, so there is no word yet), today I brought a good thing to show you, how about you take a look at this thing?" With that, he handed a stack of white paper in his hand to Jian Yong.

"What is this? Is it paper? It's the first time I've seen such beautiful paper! ”

As soon as he saw such a beautiful paper, Jian Yong's eyes immediately lit up, no wonder, at this time, the late Eastern Han Dynasty was mainly used bamboo slips, and paper was a difficult thing sought after by scholars, not to mention that the paper at this time was far less beautiful than that of later generations, so as a reader, Jian Yong couldn't bear it anymore when he saw such a paper!

"Yes, this is paper, its cost is much cheaper than the current Caihou paper, its main raw materials can be wheat straw, rice straw, bamboo, fir trees, etc., and I have a complete set of technological processes, can produce this paper in large quantities! I want to build a paper mill, but I don't have a confidant to take care of it, so I'm here for you! ”

"Liu Bei, are you short of money? Do you know that this businessman I don't want to do! Jian Yong hesitated.

"Of course I don't want you to be a businessman, I just lack a confidant to help me manage the entire paper mill, take charge of the papermaking process, and we can complete the specific raw material procurement and sales through the existing merchants!"

Liu Bei nodded and said.

"And the money I get from making paper has three uses, 1. Because of my father's death, I learned that there are too few capable doctors today, and I want to build a few medical halls to benefit the people, 2. Today's Han Dynasty, the party is too serious, the scholars are suppressed, and the government is in the hands of the eunuchs. 3. The hardships of the people in the world, orphans are everywhere, I want to adopt some orphans, teach them some skills, and let them live. ”

Liu Bei tearfully told the thoughts in his heart, now this big man only occasionally riots, the rule of the big Han is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, at this time to say his true thoughts, that is looking for death, so Liu Bei found some good excuses for himself!

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Jian Yongzheng was in place, and bowed to Liu Bei casually: "The heart of the lord is beyond Yong's reach, and Yong is willing to go to the soup and fire what the lord thinks in his heart." ”

Hearing Jian Yong's words, Liu Bei laughed and said, "Why should I worry about Jian Yong's big deal?" Then he helped Jian Yong.

"Jian Yong, this is the six-stage process of papermaking, you will disassemble one by one into dozens of processes, and then find two people to familiarize themselves with the production at each process, and then strictly manage it, and you will not be afraid that this secret art will spread out!

Also, now we have no money, two no people, three no place, need to find a businessman to cooperate as soon as possible, I know that the two businessmen are still relatively good, when the time comes, you can contact, just hand over the entire market of this big man to them to sell, we just produce!

This one is the Mi family of Xuzhou, and the other is Su Shuang of Zhongshan, and this paper mill is built in Moling, and the raw materials and paper can be transported through the Yangtze River and the sea at that time! We'll talk about this in detail later, you accompany me to meet a person first, a miracle doctor! ”

After thinking about it, Liu Bei didn't say more, because the most important thing now is to take down Hua Tuo, if Hua Tuo is taken, then the later conquest of the world will get twice the result with half the effort!

After speaking, he pulled Jian Yong and rushed to the inn with the best paper!
