Yun Yuankai and the clan elders agreed to Yun Yi's proposal, and then prepared to send people to recruit workers outside Yunhua County.

And here, Yun Yi was leisurely in the Yun Mansion, feeling that he had rested enough, and wanted to do something, but he didn't expect to make a mistake because of money.

Yun Yi, as the patriarch of the Yunhua Yun clan, how could he make a difficult mistake for money?

There is no way, although Yun Yi is the patriarch of the Yun Hua Yun clan, but the financial power of the Yun clan is in the hands of Yun Yuankai, although Yun Yuankai will regularly allocate money to Yun Mansion, this money is not too much, it is much less, it is enough for the Yun Mansion family, and during the time when Yun Yi went out to travel, Shangguan Yuling reformed Yun Mansion, which increased the balance of Yun Mansion, even so, it was far from enough for what Yun Yi wanted to do.

Yunyi wanted to start his own basic steam industry development plan, and the money in his hand was not even enough to start up.

In fact, there are two easiest ways for Yun Yi to get funds, the first is Shangguan Yuling's dowry, which is worth thousands of gold, and the second is to ask Yun Yuankai.

However, Yun Yi is thin-skinned, embarrassed to speak, and has never wanted to do so, as a man, he has no money in his hands, so he can earn it himself, he can find a new way for the Yun family, and it is not easy to earn some private money by himself?

Yun Yi pondered for a moment and thought about how he should make money, for Yun Yi, making money is the easiest, fastest and most violent at present. The method of force is papermaking.

There is no doubt that there is already paper in this era, Yunyi uses paper to paint every day, this paper is called Gao Xun Paper, which is the first paper made by a person named Gao Xun, and there are people who have made paper before Gao Xun, but the quality is not as good as Gao Xun paper, and the price is also higher than Gao Xun paper, Gao Xun paper is more cost-effective than other papers in the same period, so it is widely circulated.

However, the most widely circulated Gaoxun paper is of poor quality in Yunyi's eyes, the paper surface is slightly rough, and the color is not pure white, but a little dark yellow.

Gao Xun paper has so many shortcomings, but in the Dali Empire, Gao Xun paper is also only above the middle people can afford to use, a foot square Gao Xun paper, a price as high as 1 silver coin, even so, Gao Xun paper is also in short supply, Gao Xun paper manufacturing method is simpler than other paper, in fact, it is still more complex, and the manufacturing materials are relatively single, the supply is insufficient, the output of high search paper is naturally low.

Gaoxun paper is in short supply, and the price is difficult for ordinary people to afford, so there are still many people using bamboo slips, animal skins, silk to write, some ancient books are engraved on bamboo slips, Yunyi has also heard of someone with "Xuefu five cars" to describe others.

The paper industry is so violent. With the technology in the hands of Yunyi, you can quickly make better paper than Gaoxun paper, and the paper is simple to manufacture, the material is easy to fast, the initial investment is relatively small, and the money is fast and more, which is currently the most suitable industry for Yunyi.

Yunyi walked into the study, took out a piece of paper, recalled the papermaking technique a little, and began to write down the papermaking technology named "Yunhua Paper" by Yunyi on the paper.

The main manufacturing materials of Yunhua paper are mulberry bark, rattan bark, bamboo, sandalwood bark, wheat stalks, rice stalks, etc.

The process of manufacturing Yunhua paper can be roughly summarized into four steps:

The first is the separation of raw materials, that is, the raw materials are degummed in the lye solution by soaking or cooking, and dispersed into fibrous form;

The second is pulping, which is to cut off the fiber by cutting and pounding, and make the fiber broom, and become pulp;

The third is copying, that is, the pulp is soaked into slurry, and then the pulp is scooped with a paper grazer (mat), so that the pulp is interwoven into a thin sheet of wet paper on the paper grab;

The fourth is drying, that is, the wet paper is dried or dried, and when it is removed, it becomes paper.

Yunyi wrote down the detailed manufacturing steps of Yunhua paper on the paper one by one.

Yunhua paper is manufactured, even if the price of Yunhua paper is the same as that of Gaoxun paper, but with the quality of Yunhua paper, it will be more popular in the market than Gaoxun paper.

The manufacturing method of Yunhua paper has been written, Yunyi still needs someone to be in charge of this matter, Yunyi, as the patriarch of Yunhua Yun's clan, how could he do it in person, in the past, Shangjia was a cheap business, but now it has improved slightly and it is not high, with Yunyi's identity, if he deals with this matter in person, he will only be ridiculed by outsiders, and the reputation of Yunhua Yun's clan will also be greatly affected.

Yun Yi summoned Uncle Xu, the old housekeeper of Yunfu, and asked Uncle Xu if he had any recommended candidates.

Uncle Xu's full name is Xu Shuo, and after Yun Yi's grandfather Yun Zhemao became the head of the family, Uncle Xu became the chief housekeeper of Yun Mansion.

In fact, Uncle Xu's ancestors were all housekeepers of Yunfu, and the housekeeper position of Yunfu was passed on to Uncle Xu's generation, and Uncle Xu's eldest son Xu Ying also served in Yunfu, and when Uncle Xu was old and couldn't move, Xu Ying would take over Uncle Xu's position and become the chief housekeeper of Yunfu, and the Xu family was one of the most loyal servants of the Yun family.

In the face of Yunyi's inquiry, Xu Bojuxian did not shy away from his relatives and recommended his second son Xu Hui to Yunyi.

Xu Hui Zike, twenty-two years old, is currently serving as a petty official in Yunhua County.

Yun Yi nodded in agreement, wanting to meet Xu Hui himself first, Xu Bo hurriedly found someone to call his second son, and couldn't let Yun Yi wait in a hurry.

About three quarters of an hour later, a tall, thin, slightly ordinary-looking young man stood respectfully in front of Yun Yi, he was Xu Bo's second son, Xu Hui.

Xu Hui's first feeling to Yunyi was okay, maybe Xu Hui didn't have much talent, but Xu Hui was a qualified subordinate who could execute Yunyi's orders well to complete the task.

"Look at it, can you understand it?" Yun Yi pointed to the paper on the desk with Yunhua paper manufacturing technology written on it, and said to Xu Hui.

Xu Hui knows words, in this era, most people don't know words, and there are many people who can know two or three words out of a hundred, but the Xu family has been the housekeeper of Yunfu for generations, and his status is much higher than that of ordinary people, and as a housekeeper of Yunfu, how can he do it, Xu Hui may also become the housekeeper of Yunfu.

Xu Hui stepped forward, gently picked up the paper on the desk with both hands, and read the contents carefully, Xu Hui's eyes showed a thoughtful gaze from time to time.

After a while, Xu Hui gently put the paper back on the desk and said respectfully: "Back to the young master, the villain has already understood the content above, as long as the villain is given a few days, the villain can make this Yunhua paper." ”

Yunyi is only 15 years old this year, but he doesn't like others to call him "master", doesn't this make him older?

Yun Yi nodded when he heard Xu Hui's reply, and then said, "You go to the account room to get 100 gold, and make Yunhua paper as soon as possible." ”

"No, the villain will definitely make Yunhua paper as soon as possible."
