Chapter 29 A few people are on the ground, look at me in the blue sky
In the end, Lu Ye and Cao Zhen and others discussed, but Lu Ye still chose to give in. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info decided to listen to Cao Zhen's advice for the time being, thicken the paper first, and then study how to make it more beautiful.
There's no way, Lu Ye is too poor now.
If you can't make money quickly, then many things will be very troublesome, as the saying goes, money can make the devil grind, this is not to be said casually.
"What about this workshop...... But it's all left to Zidan to deal with. Lu Ye looked at Cao Zhen on the side with a solemn expression.
Cao Zhen nodded: "Okay." ”
"Then we'll make all those things clear. I'm in abject poverty right now, so those things ....... ”
"Don't worry, I understand."
"What do you think of the future income, then it will be divided into thirty-seven?"
In fact, if you follow Lu Ye's previous thoughts, if his transformed papermaking technology is successful, there is no need to worry about investment at all.
It's just that the paper made now is far from meeting Lu Ye's own requirements, so he can only retreat to the second.
"Zihang has the final say!" Cao Zhen felt that it didn't matter, and there was no shortage of money to build a workshop in his family, but Cao Zhen was very optimistic about Lu Ye.
Lu Ye smiled bitterly: "Zidan, you trust me so much, but it makes me feel a little constrained...... ”
Cao Zhen smiled, full of honesty.
In fact, for Lu Ye, this thing is just a transition now. Papermaking technology must be improved, and rough paper may be the problem of the main material fiber. If you can solve the main material fiber, you will be able to successfully turn these papers into good papers.
At that time, this workshop will really show its power.
As for other things like glass...... In fact, it's not that Lu Ye doesn't want to make it, it's just that he doesn't have that spare money in his hands now, and even a papermaking workshop can only be opened by Cao Zhen, and the rest of the things don't need to be thought about at all.
But Lu Ye knows that the papermaking workshop must be able to make money, and in the process of constantly improving papermaking, once the production of the assembly line is formed, the cost will be low, and it will definitely be able to make a fortune.
Before, Lu Ye was still a little worried, afraid that Cao Zhen would not follow him on this path like this, but now it seems that his worries are a little redundant.
"Zidan, you remember to find some experienced people, and when the time comes, I will tell them in person about the specific papermaking process." Lu Ye said solemnly.
Lu Ye has never looked down on those craftsmen of this era, although their scientific and technological level has lagged behind many generations in later generations.
But for Lu Ye, if he can have a more profound communication with them, the improvement of papermaking technology will become easier at that time.
"yes, okay." Cao Zhen nodded.
"What about these papers...... What are we going to do? Minister Lu on the side looked at the white paper in the house and asked his question.
Lu Ye touched his smooth chin and said, "Let's take these things back to Yulong Tower first." ”
Although it looks like the whole room is covered with paper, when you remove it from the bamboo curtains, there is actually not that much. A piece of paper is probably only in 1X0.5 format, so soon Minister Lu put down the paper on the bamboo curtain one by one. In the end, they were all in their arms.
"Although it may not be able to be sold in a large area, this kind of paper is still much better than the hemp paper on the market. There are people coming and going in the Yulong Tower, maybe there will be some surprises. Lu Ye said to Minister Lu.
"Oh." Minister Lu nodded, holding these papers honestly, not too dirty, and standing behind Lu Ye like this.
"Alright, let's go." Lu Ye said to Cao Zhen and Minister Lu.
"Hmm."
Lu Ye was a little regretful, and said to Cao Zhen: "This time, I didn't think it through, so I asked Zidan to come over and watch the joke." ”
"What a joke is this, what you are doing here is to benefit the country and the people. If it really allows you to improve and succeed, maybe it will benefit many people. "Cao Zhen is naturally also a person who has read books, and he is deeply affected by the scourge of bamboo slips, if Lu Ye can make these papers cheaper and better, Cao Zhen is also happy in his heart.
Although in such an era, many people thought that the art of kinky art was not advisable, and that the only way to be a saint was to be the way. But in Cao Zhen's opinion, such a thing is much better than reading a dead book.
"Don't worry, I'll tell people to do these things. I'll come back to you when everything is ready. Cao Zhen said.
Lu Ye nodded.
……
……
When Lu Ye and Minister Lu returned to Yulong Tower, it was a quarter past noon. As for Cao Zhen, he naturally returned to his home.
Although I didn't learn anything from Lu Ye today, I still felt happy for Cao Zhen. What Lu Ye didn't know was that Cao Zhen didn't actually have many friends. Especially after Cao Cao became a general of the chariot cavalry, some sycophants made Cao Zhen feel a little disgusting when he looked at it.
Such a character also makes Cao Zhen a little unsociable. After all, Cao Zhen is also from a family of military generals, where do he have so many twists and turns in his heart, so he has always been heart-to-heart for his friends.
Lu Ye didn't know these things.
At this time, the storyteller on the stage was talking about the story, and today it happened to be about the death of the fox in Enzhouyi, and the passage of Yun Zhongzi entering the sword to eliminate demons.
Lu Ye is not very interested in these things, they are all things he wrote by himself, if he is usually fine, he may still be a little interested. But now Lu Ye still has this important thing to do.
At this time, people came and went in the Yulong Tower, and Lu Ye and Minister Lu had already stacked the papers neatly together, and then wrapped them in cloth, so they were not very eye-catching.
Back in the room, Minister Lu seemed to be a little distressed: "Young master...... We spent so much money, but none of these things were of great use. ”
Lu Ye smiled bitterly, this was indeed something he didn't expect.
Originally, according to Lu Ye's thoughts, these things were not things that were made at one time, but would flow for a long time, and business would flourish when the time came. But the paper made was indeed a little bad, which made Lu Ye helpless.
I can write, but it's not very good.
"These papers...... I can only practice my own calligraphy...... Lu Ye said to Minister Lu.
Minister Lu was a little discouraged: "Okay...... ”
"Alright, you go down and get busy first. I'll handle these things myself. Lu Ye said to Minister Lu. Lu Ye sat on the bed, dragging his cheeks, looking at the paper in front of him, and gently opened the cloth, and then there was a gurgling sound.
"This paper...... How can this be....... Lu Ye stroked it gently, and the roughness was transmitted from between his fingers.
This kind of paper is barely good for writing, but the route that Lu Ye wants to take is still those students, and this kind of paper, although it is white, is not good-looking. For those Confucian scholars, the price that can be sold is definitely not high.
Moreover, the fibers are coarse, and there will be occasional ink blurring when writing, which cannot be called ink sickness, anyway, when the brush falls, the ink will be passed along the fibers one by one.
The water absorption performance is actually good, but the main material fiber is too coarse, and the main material is originally recycled from the paper that Lu Ye bought, and not all of them are bamboo fiber and wheat straw.
If you could use all of them bamboo...... Maybe a little better.
"In a few days...... Prepare the ingredients first. ”
Lu Ye's papermaking method yesterday was a trick, and now if he plans to improve it again, he naturally has to start from scratch, although it consumes a lot of time, but there is no way, in Lu Ye's view, as long as it can produce results, it is worth it.
After figuring out the joints, Lu Ye put the papers on the desk in the room and spread them out gently, with a smile on his face.
In any case, this is something he created himself, and it can be regarded as having a special meaning in it.
"I'll mention a poem...... It's not too much...... ”
"What's the best poem?"
Lu Ye recalled slightly in his mind for a while, and finally picked up the pen, fell down heavily, and wrote a few strokes of thick ink and color for this white paper.
"I haven't met anyone who is willing to believe it, and now I am famous.
Gratuitous good craftsmen draw shapes.
When the wind is light, it is high in the air.
I had to boast that my body was gradually stable, and I was only suspected of going to the Toad Palace.
When the sun is red after the rain.
A few people are on the ground, looking at me in the blue sky. ”
……
Put the pen and blow the ink, Lu Ye walked out of the room, the papermaking thing was barely over, but it was not that there was nothing else to do, for Lu Ye, the journey of a thousand miles was just the first step.
Lu Ye closed the door and walked to the front lobby.
What he didn't know was that after he left the room, a demonic wind suddenly blew from the window, wrapped up the poem he had written casually, blew it out of the room, and landed quietly in the courtyard.
There was a light pouring down from the sky, shimmering, as if it had coated the paper with a faint glow.
