Wang Lei looked at the bark of the tree that was tied into a small handful on the ground and ordered: "Someone will cut all the bark of these filaments into small bundles and then break them into small bundles."

This arrangement is not cumbersome, and the family is in a hurry to prepare

Soon small bundles of bark are ready

Wang Lei asked his subordinates to withdraw, looked at Cai Song and the others, and instructed: "Mr. Cai's next step is to adjust the lime into lime slurry, and then put all the small bundles of bark in the lime slurry and soak them in the lime slurry, and wait for a month before they can be taken out."

Cai Song frowned and asked, "What is the purpose of this, my lord, why do you want to do it in January?"

Wang Lei said: "Let's do it first, and I'll arrange the following procedures in a month."

As he spoke, Wang Lei turned around and left the courtyard

Zhen Yan also followed closely behind, leaving Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian, who were full of doubts, and looked at the bark of the tree in the same place, Cai Song said helplessly: "The two state pastors can't really master any methods."

"Let's see"

Xiong Yan nodded and said, "Now you need lime slurry to start preparing."

"Well, we'll see what he does after a month."

Chen Jian nodded, he and Xiong Yan and Cai Song worked together to carry out the procedure of soaking the bark of the tree, for Jizhou, which entered the peacetime, time flew by in a blink of an eye, and it had entered late August, and it was almost September, and the weather was still hot, but the night began to turn cool, no longer hot

On this day, Wang Lei was dealing with government affairs in the study, and Zhen Yan hurriedly came to report: "The lord is close to the one-month deadline for soaking the bark of the tree, and he can make the next plan."

After hearing this, Wang Lei stroked his forehead with his hand, and he was so busy these days that he almost forgot about papermaking

After the reunification of Jizhou, many government affairs had to be sent

Although there are frustrated professors, judges, Tian Feng and others who share government affairs for Wang Lei, Wang Lei still has to often start discussing and formulating guidelines and policies, and he is so busy all day long that he has no time to rest

Zhen Yan didn't remind Wang Lei that he almost forgot

"Go to the backyard"

Wang Lei and Zhen Yan left the study and went to the backyard where Cai Song lived

When he came to the backyard, Wang Lei saw the bark of the tree soaked in lime mortar in the pool dug out, Wang Lei looked at the soaked bark of the tree and ordered: "Soak it for a month, now take it out and put it in a cauldron, steam and boil, then rinse it in the river water for three days, and then take it back after rinsing, and then take it back after rinsing, squeeze out the lime water soaked in the bark, and then put the bark on the ground, and wait for the sun and rain to turn all the bark into white before proceeding to the next step."

Cai Song and the others carefully recorded that the eyes of the three of them were solemn

Wang Lei's paper-making method is extremely cumbersome, and the paper made by such means is probably extraordinary

At first, the three of them didn't agree with Wang Lei, but when they got to this step, every step was so delicate, and now they began to look forward to the three of them working together to plan according to Wang Lei's instructions

This batch of procedures cannot be completed in three or two days

It took three days to rinse, then half a month in the sun and rain to turn all the bark white

After completion, the three immediately sent someone to inform Wang Lei

Wang Lei came to the backyard and looked at the bundles of whitish bark in his eyes

It has been several months since the beginning of production, and it is now the end of September, and the weather is starting to cool

However, for the sake of new paper, everything is worth it

Wang Lei looked at the three of them and ordered: "Next, use a pestle mortar to pound all the bark of the tree finely, but not crush, and then take out the ashes after the dry firewood and weeds have been burned out, boil, put the finely pounded raw materials in, soak them again, and then put them in a place where they are not exposed to the sun and dry them."

After a pause, Wang Lei said: "After this step, you have to put it in the river water to rinse, and then put it in the pot after rinsing, and after steaming, you can choose to dry it in the sun when the sun is big."

Cai Song and the three of them were extremely surprised while recording

Counting the previous time, and the procedures that need to be carried out today, are quite complicated

It's really complicated

Zhen Yan stood aside and looked at Wang Lei's eyes, but his eyes were full of curiosity, Zhen Yan thought: How did Wang Lei come up with such a complicated program, it's incomprehensible

Cai Song asked, "My lord dares to ask what is still after the program just now is completed."

Wang Lei said: "It is estimated that the completion of this procedure will be fast."

As soon as they heard the two words, Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian all had helpless expressions in their eyes

I'm afraid it's going to be a long time

Since the three of them agreed, it was impossible to quit halfway, and the three of them also looked forward to what the results would be, according to Wang Lei's procedure, the three of them took more than half a month, because after the raw materials were soaked in plant ash, it was very time-consuming to dry them in the sun, and it was close to mid-October

Wang Lei came to the backyard again when he learned that the matter was completed

Looking at the raw materials for the tree structure, Wang Lei looked at it, and ordered people to carefully select some trunk and branch cuttings mixed with the raw materials, and then let Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian start to chop and knead all the bark of the tree into pieces again

When everything is done, put the ingredients in a bag and wash them

At this point, Cai Song and the others had roughly understood, because this was the finishing work, without Wang Lei instructing Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian to move quickly, they took out the sink for making paper, added water and stirred, and then added potion to the sink to make the paper form

At this moment, Wang Lei's heart became excited

It's close to November

It will take more than three months from July to November, and will take shape soon

Wang Lei stood next to the sink and watched Cai Song scoop up paper

Scooping up paper is a pure technical work, Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian are the best among the three people, the task of fishing paper falls on Cai Song's body, and at this moment, Cai Song is also cautious, his eyes widen after he fishes out the first piece of paper, because although the paper in front of him is water, it is extremely white

Such paper is many times better than the color of Caihou paper

There is no doubt that this time it worked

Cai Song fished out the paper one by one, handed it to Xiong Yan and Chen Jian, asked the two of them to press off the water, and then put all the paper on the fire wall to dry

After drying, Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian worked together to cut the edges of the paper, reprocess it, and then pack it

All the processed papers were presented on Wang Lei's desk

In the study, Cai Song said respectfully: "Lord Wang's papermaking method is a must, this papermaking technology is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the effect is very good, as long as you improve your method a little, you can make ordinary white paper, although it is not as white as jade as the paper in front of you, there is no doubt that it is better than Cai Hou paper."

Xiong Yan and Chen Jian were also completely convinced, looking respectful
