At this time, there were already many seats occupied by those diners. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is to occupy a front row position when telling the story later, which is conducive to listening more clearly.

There is no doubt about the charm of the book Romance of the Gods.

Especially in the year of Jian'an, where entertainment activities are extremely scarce, a romance of the gods is enough to attract the attention and attention of most people.

"Young Master, are you back?" Minister Lu had a piece of bread in his mouth, and his speech was a little slurred.

Lu Ye was shocked when he saw this: "Minister, where did you get this bread?" ”

"......, this is the morning food in the building......."

Lu Ye was heartbroken: "Why didn't you say it earlier......." ”

"Young Master...... What happened to you? Minister Lu thought that something terrible had happened, and hurriedly took the bread from his mouth.

"I ......." Lu Ye still couldn't say it after all, thinking that I couldn't say that I felt sorry for the money I used for the breakfast I had just eaten outside, and then sullenly handed over the breakfast that I brought for Minister Lu in my hand: "Give me the finished food, if I can't finish it, I'll kill you today!" ”

Minister Lu looked at the things that his young master handed him, and he understood it at that time, and then he ate and laughed. When his young master saw that he had morning food to eat in the building, he must have felt sorry for the money he used up outside.

Minister Lu knew it well, and he didn't break it.

Lu Ye looked a little annoyed and angry, and said to Minister Lu: "Okay, don't laugh, let's go, go out of the city with me today." ”

"Out of town? Why are you out of town? ”

"Make money! What else can you do? Lu Ye pretended to be a gesture and hated it.

Minister Lu could only nod honestly.

……

……

Early autumn in September.

The autumn breeze is curling, spreading the sky. The sky is high and the clouds are wide, there is a field outside the city of Xudu, the weeds are blown by the breeze, and there are carriages driving out of the avenue in twos and threes, perhaps it is the inner room of the minister who went out of the city to play.

Wild geese are flying south in the sky, and the weather is gradually starting to get colder, and these birds are also heading south for a warm winter.

Lu Ye and Minister Lu walked outside the city, Lu Ye's hands were empty, but Minister Lu was holding a bunch of things in his hands.

Minister Lu couldn't help but complain: "Young Master, what are we buying so much paper for?" The paper is so rough that the ink drips on it and it makes a mess, and there is no way to write. ”

"Even what you know, of course your young master knows."

"Then why do we still buy it? This paper doesn't do much, and the price is not cheap. Minister Lu muttered, complaining.

Lu Ye said: "Don't worry, of course your young master wants to do something meaningful." If we want to make money, we can't just give nothing, right? ”

"Oh."

"Okay, where is the yard you were looking for a few days ago? Let's go first. As early as three days ago, it was Lu Ye who wrote the book hard, and when he was writing "The Romance of the Gods", he asked Minister Lu to go to the outside of Xudu City to find a secluded courtyard, in order to make his first pot of gold.

Some things are destined to be unsightly until they are successful.

Minister Lu pointed his hand forward: "It's over there, let's take the young master over." ”

Lu Ye followed Minister Lu's finger and looked over there, the place Minister Lu pointed to was a village that didn't seem to be prosperous, and there were not many such villages outside Xudu City.

In fact, a few years ago, such villages were almost in a state of abandonment, and years of war, natural and man-made disasters caused the village's prime-aged laborers to leave long ago.

However, in recent years, Cao Cao's implementation of the tuntian system has caused displaced people from all over the country to flock to it, which has made Xu Du outside the city have some popularity.

At first, there were still doubts in people's hearts, but with the gradual implementation of the system, the population outside the city of Xudu is also increasing, and these villages have sprung up one after another.

The courtyard rented by Minister Lu seems to have purchased some property in the city of Xudu. So this yard is idle and idle, so I chose to rent it.

The yard is not very large, and there are several rooms on both sides.

Minister Lu picked up a few days ago, and he was barely able to live in people, of course, Lu Ye and Minister Lu would not live here.

There is a simple fence outside the yard, barely able to cover some things, Lu Ye's original plan was to buy this house directly, but then he thought about it, the first pot of gold has not yet arrived, there is no need to be so extravagant.

So I chose to rent it.

Lu Yezai looked at this house carefully, it should be enough for him to do something.

So he commanded Minister Lu: "Put those papers in it for me, and have you already bought all the things I asked you to buy?" ”

Minister Lu nodded: "Well, I bought four big buckets and put them here." And what other wooden troughs, curtains, planks, and the like, cost about a tael of silver? ”

"If what your young master wants to do can succeed, don't say one or two silver, even if it is ten thousand taels of silver, your young master can help you earn it back." Lu Ye is very confident.

What he wanted to do, in fact, he had planned to try it a long time ago, but at that time, the father and son in the family were filial piety, and Lu Ye had no ambitions, so he thought that he would be able to live a life like this, but how could he have expected that the world would be turbulent, and the Lu family would eventually fall into such a situation?

"What about the straw I asked you to buy? Have it? ”

"Oh, yes, I was going to buy it. But the owner of the house said that there was a firewood room with piles and piles inside. Said it was given to us. So I didn't buy it. ”

"And this kind of good thing?"

"Hmm."

"Okay, then we're ready to get to work." Lu Ye rubbed his hands, there was a great man who said well in the past, science and technology are the primary productive forces, and I am honest and do not deceive.

The two walked into one of the houses side by side, and what caught Lu Ye's eye was four large buckets, in addition to wooden troughs, bamboo curtains, wooden planks and other things.

What Lu Ye wants to do is to make paper.

In his previous life, Lu Ye read the book "Heavenly Creations", in which the "finale" chapter talked about various papermaking technologies. Lu Ye was quite impressed by one of the techniques called Soul Rejuvenation Paper.

The so-called resurrection paper is to recycle the paper that has been used.

Lu Ye didn't remember the specific papermaking process very clearly, and thought that it might be much easier to use this way.

First finishing, then boiling bamboo, then heating, rinsing, pulping, removing curtains, baking...... If I'm not mistaken, it seems like these steps.

But now I have the paper in my hand, so all I need to do is turn the paper back into slurry and then make it. The previous steps of finishing and boiling bamboo can be omitted, so that there can be a lot of time left.

Although papermaking was improved by Cai Lun as early as the Han and Emperor periods, in fact, a hundred years have passed, and today, three years after Jian'an, the popularity of paper is still a very low level.

Because the paper made is not good, it is still in that yellow-brown state, not white, and similar to the straw paper of later generations.

And nowadays people use brush ink, and when written on that kind of paper, it will be dizzy and ugly. Occasionally, there are those that can make fine paper, and the cost is also extremely high, and there is no way to popularize it.

But fortunately, there is Lu Ye from the next generation.

"I hope there will be no mistakes in the records in the Heavenly Creations. It cost me more than a tael of silver...... Lu Ye looked at the things in front of him and thought secretly in his heart.

If you can really succeed in making exquisite paper, you will definitely be able to make those students rush to it at that time, and you will be able to send it when the time comes. Even Lu Ye doesn't need to be really exquisite, as long as he can get by, then he can pull out another thing in his mind - printing!

At that time, it will be difficult for Lu Ye to make money even if he wants to. Thinking of this, Lu Ye even laughed heartily. And this matter will inevitably attract the attention of people with a heart at that time, if everything can go all the way according to what Lu Ye wants in his heart, then what Lu Ye wants to do in the end will be done faster.

"Young Master, what should I do now?"

"What to do? Go and bring some buckets of water, and I'll teach you. ”

"yes, okay."

Minister Lu went out honestly, helped Lu Ye carry water in, and then poured buckets and buckets into the big buckets that Minister Lu bought before.

Lu Ye is not clear about the specific papermaking process, but he still has some foundation in his heart, so he will not cross the river by feeling the stones.

There was a constant noise in the room, and buckets of water were poured into it by Minister Lu one after another. Lu Ye turned all the papers that Minister Lu bought into slurry one by one.

Time passed slowly.

Lu Ye was busy sweating profusely, and Minister Lu on the side even took off his shirt at this time, and was doing things there shirtless. It wasn't until it was dark that Lu Ye put down the things in his hand, sat on the ground weakly, and said to Minister Lu on the side: "Okay, okay, let's stop here today." We are not in a hurry to do this. ”

Minister Lu was also tired enough at this time, nodded and said that he had no opinion.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back." Lu Ye stood up, he had a busy day today, and he ate some bread casually for lunch. I'm still hungry.

Papermaking is a thing, but you can't be in a hurry, today, Lu Ye and Minister Lu were busy, but they just did these steps to the baking stage.

Now I'm just waiting for tomorrow to come and take off the curtains.

Looking at the thick slurry spread on the curtains in the house, Lu Ye's heart was still a little worried, no matter whether this thing could succeed or not, it was not a simple matter for the road behind Lu Ye.

It's time for some planning.

The sky was slightly dark, there were few pedestrians on the country road, and Lu Ye and Minister Lu felt the night and returned to the Yulong Tower.
