Chapter 61
Under the overall handling of the old housekeeper, on the same day, this papermaking workshop was under the name of Liu Chan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that the young master can do whatever he wants, everything needs to go according to the procedure, at most, under Liu Chan's identity, this process is carried out extremely quickly.
"Young master, do you mean that this thing can also be used as a raw material for paper?"
Early the next morning, Liu Chan came to the workshop and began to discuss in depth with Yu Dan, who had been waiting for a long time, about papermaking.
"That's right." Liu Chan nodded and looked at the cylindrical objects the thickness of several small arms placed on the stone table in front of him.
The young bamboo in the forest is verdant and compelling, but it is the vitality of the late spring and summer solstice.
Yu Dan picked up the letter suspiciously, put it in front of him and looked at it carefully, as if he wanted to see what mystery was hidden in this thing.
The selection of raw materials has always been the most inconspicuous and important step in the paper industry. Because of the experience of previous people, the proven materials such as linen bark are very familiar to the craftsmen in this industry, and even if they consciously want to modify and improve the papermaking process, most of them start with other steps.
Not everyone can be like Edison, who tried thousands of different materials in order to find a suitable light-emitting conductor. Now that there is an answer, the latecomers have inert thoughts.
However, in Liu Chan's view, this also has a certain relationship with the dominance of Confucianism in the past 100 years.
Only through the competitive development of all walks of life can civilization and science and technology make faster progress. If you are worried that the collision of various ideas will affect the rule, in fact, you can only remove the form and the meaning, retain the technology and the skills that rely on it to become famous, and change the way to "contend", there is really no need to depose the hundred schools. And since the set of Confucian skin bones has been figured out, why can't there be Confucian skin ink bones, Confucian skin vertical and horizontal bones?
In the moment when Liu Chan's thoughts were fluttering, Yu Dan found a small axe, split the green bamboo from it, took a knife that should be used for carving, lightly scratched a few knives on the inner wall, and took out a very fine bamboo thread.
Fortunately, Huo Teng was no longer by Liu Chan's side at this time, otherwise Yu Dan would have subdued him before he was about to touch these lethal items.
However, although he was alone, Liu Chan still didn't think much about it, and he asked curiously: "Mr. Yu, what is this?" ”
Yu Dan replied: "Young master, the contemptible people plan to try this bamboo to see what means should be used to deal with it." ”
Liu Chan understands that this Yu Dan still doesn't believe it, although he says that he wants to experiment and explore the processing methods, but in fact, he just wants to try the material.
He just smiled and didn't speak, he didn't care, he didn't have the slightest pressure on what history had proven.
I don't know what Yu Dan did after entering a small room, he was excited when he came out, Liu Chan didn't see what Columbus looked like when he discovered the New World, but looking at the irrepressible excitement on Yu Dan's face, it was probably like this.
"The young master is really a man of God! The minister baked the bamboo silk and the cloth at the same time, and the bamboo silk showed the properties of making paper, which far exceeded the linen cloth! Yu Dan's voice suppressed ecstasy, and at the same time said with a hint of admiration: "Using this bamboo, the papermaking technique does not need to be greatly modified, as long as the most suitable treatment method is explored, you will soon be able to get a new paper with much better quality than today's coarse paper!" ”
Although he has not yet finished the product, he knows that the quality of this new paper will not be much worse! So once the new paper is popularized, he will be the leader in this industry!
However, Yu Dan reacted in the blink of an eye, and now this workshop already belongs to the calm young man sitting on the stone bench in front of him, and he has also sworn to take refuge, even this "new paper" is also proposed by the young master!
In other words, everything he fantasizes about is actually firmly in the hands of this young man.
"Young master, the minister voluntarily undertakes this matter, and he will make a finished product that can be pushed within the shortest possible time!" He immediately made a decision, knelt directly in front of Liu Chan, lowered his head, and said firmly.
Who knew that Liu Chan coughed mysteriously, and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Yu's origin is also extraordinary." ”
After the old housekeeper returned home yesterday, he presented the information of Yu Dan to Liu Chan, as for how the other party found out about all this, Liu Chan did not ask much.
Yu Dan, who moved here three years ago, acted dutifully, never quarreled with others, and was quite a gentleman in the market, but his identity and whereabouts three years ago were nowhere to be found. Liu Chan recalled the information on the secret report in his heart, but Yu Dan in front of him was in a panic.
I saw Yu Dan stunned for a moment, cold sweat instantly flowed out of his forehead, and then he reacted, just now under the excitement, he actually used the title of "minister"!
With his previous performance and his identity under Liu Chan, he would never say the word "minister", which can only show that this Yu Dan, before that, was very likely to be an official.
Moreover, the rank of an official who can turn a minister into a habit is definitely not low.
"Contempt, contempt, contempt......" Yu Dan wanted to slap himself at this time, and his upper body was almost prostrate on the ground, Liu Chan could see the panic in his heart at a glance.
He waved his hand and smiled gently, "Mr. Yu doesn't have to be afraid, life in the world is endless, now that you are in my Sichuan and Shu, under my Liu Chan, no matter what happened before, you can write it off." ”
Yu Dan's body was shocked, obviously he didn't expect Liu Chan to say such a thing, you must know that this young master can come here alone to discuss with him, but he is hiding his identity from him, and a person who is a little small-minded will definitely be afraid in his heart, and he will be angry!
He hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, but Liu Chan's voice interrupted him again.
I saw him stand up, help Yu Dan who was prostrate on the ground, and speak calmly, "Mr. get up." After helping him up, he continued: "Mr. Yu doesn't need to say much, since it is difficult to say, it is okay to hesitate for a moment." This is put aside for the time being, this paper-making thing, I will still hand it over to you, Mr. I trust in this way, I don't know how long Mr. will take? ”
Yu Dan couldn't accept Liu Chan's direct change in topic a little, and choked for a long time before replying: "Big, it will probably take more than a month." ”
Liu Chan nodded, "Since this is the case, then Mr. will start as soon as possible, this matter involves a lot of plans, Mr. has to worry about it." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and saluted.
Yu Dan hurriedly returned the gift, and continued to hesitate whether to say something, but saw that Liu Chan had already sorted out his clothes and walked outside the workshop.
