Chapter 3 The Loser of the New Capital
Since he took a few pieces of bile alum from Dr. Ding and demonstrated to Wei Zheng how to make copper from bile water, Wang Shu has an extra curious baby by his side, asking questions around him every day, and annoying people don't want it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is no way, this person doesn't want his face anymore, what can you do with him, such as Wei Zheng, in order to understand how iron turned into copper when he put it in the bile water, he even proposed to apprentice, if it weren't for the fact that the two were twelve years apart, Wang Shu really wanted to take a little brother to play.
was forced to be helpless, so he had to throw his treasured "Huainan Wanbishu" to him, telling him that he only knew it after reading the record in the book, and he didn't understand what was going on.
No one was annoyed this time, but this product didn't even come out of the door since then, holding "Huainan Wanbishu" every day, and from time to time he also sent a handmaid who specially sent him a meal to pass the word to Wang Shu, wanting to buy this and that.
It can't go on like this, the Xindu Hou Mansion is not a hotel, now this lord not only eats and drinks for nothing, but now he is reaching out to ask for things again, the housekeeper Ling Bai can't stand it anymore, and finds Wang Yu to ask for an explanation.
Only then did Wang Shu notice that he was patronizing and hiding from Qingjing, but he forgot the reason for leaving him, and immediately rushed into the room, slipped out Wei Zheng, who was immersed in reading, and gave an explanation of the papermaking task, and threatened to leave as soon as possible if he didn't want to take this job.
Who knew that when Wei Zheng knew that someone soaked mulberry, bamboo, wheat straw or reed in lime water and boiled, soaked, and pounded to make paper, he rubbed his hands excitedly before he could wait for the temptation, saying that he would definitely live up to his expectations.
Anyway, after telling everything he knew, Wang Shu took the back of his hand as a shopkeeper, and before leaving, he didn't forget to remind him that he didn't need to tell himself what he needed to buy, just go directly to the housekeeper Ling Bai.
Seeing that the long-awaited paper was about to appear, Wang was happy to find that the food at home was getting worse and worse in a few days.
This can't be done, and he is not a rookie, so he called Ling Bai over and asked three words: no money.
When his father left, he left a lot of money, and he didn't gamble and didn't prostitute, why was the money gone?
Has there been a burglar in the house? As a result, Ling Bai said that he spent it all, and Wang Yu became anxious when he heard it: "I almost don't bring money when I go out now, but you can tell me where I spent it?" ”
"Didn't you forget what the second prince ordered before, didn't you say that what Wei Gongzi asked for by name was what you wanted to buy?"
Damn, it turned out to be Wei Zheng's kid, didn't he just ask him to make a piece of paper, how could he spend so much money, could he not build a rocket?
As a result, Ling Bai led him to the side courtyard specially used as a papermaking laboratory to take a look, the yard was full of wheat stalks, reeds and bamboo, and he was not surprised to see that this Wang was really an inventor, he must have studied how to make paper, this is the rhythm of preparing to start working.
Who knew that when someone was called over and asked, this thing is still doing the invasion pool, and the plan is to do eight, and only three have been made now, which means that the experiment has not been officially launched yet, and what is even more infuriating is that all the things of this product have never been done by others, and they have always been self-reliant and self-reliant.
Could it be that Wei Zheng was invited by the monkey to tease him, it turned out that he himself said that he would lose his home by making a caliper, and he still didn't believe it, but now it seems that it is estimated that Wei Zheng's father sent him to Xindu, obviously sending the plague god.
As he was talking, a few carriages pulling wheat poles came over at the gate of the side courtyard, and Wang Shu wanted to cry without tears when he saw this scene.
Now that the reeds, wheat stalks and lime in the courtyard cannot be returned, Wang Shu had to tell Wei Zheng that he had no money, and put forward two requirements: first, everything that can be done by others is handed over to others; Second, before the study of how to make paper, we can only control the cost and take small-scale experiments.
Hearing Wang Shu say that the money was about to be spent by himself, he was a little embarrassed, in order to make up for the loss, he asked Wang Shu to give him more money, and he could find a way to conjure up more money.
I didn't expect Wei Zheng to have the ability to do business, so I asked him what business he planned to help him do, but this product actually said that he wanted to use bile water to take copper, and then make copper into money.
After listening to the words, Wang Shu immediately had the urge to run away, this thing is really too easy to see by God, so he sent such a thunder man to pit himself, not to mention that it is a felony to mint money privately, and in addition, in the new capital, gallium is too expensive, and it is a loss-making business to take copper with bile water.
However, when Wang Shu saw that Wei Zheng really made the paper, he completely forgot everything before.
But holding this paper in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the color was yellow, but why was it so hard, if it was used as a hand paper, it was estimated that it would not be much more comfortable than a piece of bamboo, but looking at Wei Zheng's excited eyes was not good to hit him.
"Now that the paper is made, let's give him a name, what do you think about calling Wei Zheng paper?"
"Second son, I would never have been able to make it without your ideas, how could I name it after me, besides, the money was also from you, I really didn't dare to take credit."
"What's there, this paper is made by you, I said yes!"
As soon as Wang Shu finished speaking, Wei Zheng knelt down and immediately burst into tears: "Second son, on behalf of the Wei family, I thank you for your grace, it is really inappropriate to name my name, I dare to give a name, it is better to call Wang Wei paper." ”
Where did Wang Wei know the importance and influence of this paper on readers, it can be seen that Wei Zheng insisted, so he had to say: "It's up to you, you get up first, but Wang Wei doesn't sound good, it's still called Wei Wang paper, that's it, it can't be changed." ”
Seeing that the name of the paper was done, he said to him that what he wanted was the kind of paper that didn't need to be so flat and soft.
Wei Zheng was originally very confused about what the second son wanted to do with that kind of useless paper, and when he figured out that it was to make hand paper, he thought that Wang Shu wanted to use his name to name the paper, and the eyes that looked at him at that time were wrong.
Wang Shu felt that something was wrong and hurriedly made a careful compensation, and swore that he had no intention of blaspheming him, and after begging for a long time, Wei Zheng finally agreed to make him a batch of handwritten papers.
Holding a pile of handpaper with a better quality than the straw paper of later generations, Wang Shu was in tears, and the most painful thing after crossing was finally solved.
Of course, good things have to be shared with everyone, Wang Shu summoned everyone in the family to go into battle, and worked overtime under the command of Wei Zheng to make a batch of Weiwang paper and hand paper, and then specially engraved three seals, each of which was stamped with "Weiwang paper" and "Wei Zheng card" respectively, and the hand paper was printed not with words, but with a scholar-like character portrait.
Wei Zheng cried again after seeing the two seals on Wei Wang's paper, and later when he saw the portrait of the character on the paper, he knew that it was a joke that Wang Shu played with him without explanation.
