PS: Today we will resume two shifts every day, the first one is more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and the second one is at about ten o'clock in the evening. This is the first update, and now it's starting to get up, so I'm asking for everyone's subscription, and the recommended ticket is also OK, thank you! ~

However, at this time, Lu Bu obviously didn't plan to continue to hide from Chen Gong and the others, so then the obese middle-aged man who was called Zixuan by Lu Bu began to introduce the workshop to everyone.

Zixuan is his word, but his name is called Chen Kai, who is the steward in the family workshop of Chen Li and Chen Xi brothers, and was also recommended to Jia Xu by Chen Li brothers, and then Jia Xu recommended it to Lu Bu, Lu Bu saw that this person was clever and very experienced, and he was indeed short of people, so he naturally did not reject him.

Although Chen Kairen is obese, he is articulate, and under his narration, everyone quickly got what they wanted to know.

As they had guessed before, the workshop was indeed related to paper, and it was a paper-making workshop, but it was different from the commonly known paper-making workshops, mainly because of the different raw materials they used.

In fact, even in modern society, the process of papermaking has not undergone fundamental changes, and since Cai Lun improved the papermaking technology, the process has gradually been fixed, since the Han Dynasty has been divided into four steps: separation of raw materials, dispersion of fibrous; Pulping is to cut off the fibers and make them broom into pulp; Water seeps to form a slurry, which is then scooped up with a mat, which eventually forms a flake-like wet paper on the mat; As for the last step, the paper is naturally dried, and after it is dried and removed, it can become paper.

From the history of the evolution. The development and progress of papermaking technology is more reflected in the raw materials and processing technology, for the latter because it involves multiple processing technologies such as powdering, sprinkling and dyeing, this is obviously an unsolvable problem for Lu Bu, because he has no understanding of this aspect at all, so he can only start from the material.

It should be known that since Cai Lun improved papermaking in the Western Han Dynasty, bark and fishing nets have become the main materials of papermaking, but the defects of the paper made in this way are also obvious, so at present, silk and bamboo slips are still the mainstream of writing, but Lu Bu knows very well that the advantages of paper are too obvious. Just a little bit of improvement. It can become a strong competition for the first two and eventually replace them completely.

There is no problem with the craftsmanship of craftsmen in this era, such as Zuo Bo, a native of Shandong who made Zuo Bo paper, he is one of them, and Shandong is also one of the more developed areas for papermaking in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. But the origin of papermaking originated in Henan. So Lu Bu ransacked Taicang and the arsenal at the same time before. But he didn't forget to collect some craftsmen from Luoyang, and the whole family moved together, which also reduced their resistance as much as possible. And let Jia Xu arrange for someone to secretly send them to Wuyuan early to establish this workshop here.

Paper is very important to Lu Bu, so he has always attached great importance to it, although these craftsmen are very good, but in the long process of obeying orders, their creative power has already been compressed to the point that there is not much left, but it is Lu Bu, an outsider, who can make their eyes shine.

The current process is not enough to support the technical treatment of bamboo pulping, but it is completely sufficient for mulberry bark, rattan bark and even wheat straw and rice stalk, and the paper made from these materials is much better than the paper outside at the same time.

But Lu Bu is still not satisfied, the most important thing is that although this kind of paper can meet the requirements, the surface is still not smooth enough, which will cause certain obstacles to writing, and even sometimes can not leave words on it, and the absorption of ink is very weak.

However, although the craftsmen's creative power is not good, the spirit of the real yàn is good, so after continuous experiments, the most important thing is to adjust the proportion of some materials and the viscosity of the beating, etc., and finally create a paper that can make Lu Bu satisfied.

The one he took out at the personnel arrangement meeting before was just a half-finished product, and today Lu Bu brought so many people to let them see the finished product and use it to talk to them about some things.

It can be said that this workshop didn't even know about Chen Gong before, but Jia Xu didn't show any surprise about it, and then Lu Bu's words also solved Chen Gong's doubts, "This was secretly established by Wen He sent someone over before, and it was under the nose of the public platform, but it was not discovered by the public platform, and it was a good job to keep it secret." ”

Chen Gong was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Jia Xu, but the latter didn't even raise his eyelids, and then looked at Lu Bu looking at the two of them with playfulness in his eyes, as if he was very happy that they were in this state.

This made Chen Gong have to sigh, although he is more straightforward, but as a strategist, it is naturally impossible to focus on only one point, and his mind is also very delicate, so after having an opinion on Jia Xu that time, he quickly realized Lu Bu's intention to use this to distance him from Jia Xu, even if it was only on the surface, so he simply took advantage of the situation, and his attitude towards Jia Xu became more and more cold, and the two hardly communicated with each other, so that almost everyone now knew that there seemed to be a contradiction between the two of them, although no one knows why.

And from this point, Chen Gong was also able to guess that Lu Bu asked him to prepare a female spy team, and he really didn't let Jia Xu know, but this paper always has to meet people, so it's nothing to let yourself know now.

And then, Jia Xu began to focus on some of the things that happened in the papermaking process, how those craftsmen improved again and again after Lu Bu was not satisfied, so that there was such a big progress today, but it was a picture.

Lu Bu also listened to him silently, to be honest, although he has been here a few times, but the things are all handed over to Jia Xu to do, and he is almost only responsible for accepting the results, so when it comes to understanding this place and these things, he will definitely not surpass Jia Xu, so at this time, he is the same as Chen Gong and others, he is a serious listener.

And sometimes, Jia Xu will also let the fat middle-aged man speak, after all, he is the one who manages the daily life here, and he is also more professional in papermaking.

To be honest, the process of making paper is not complicated, there is such a technology in this era itself, Lu Bu just put forward some of his own suggestions for them to improve, maybe they have no way to invent and create, but there is no problem in improving under effective guidance, after all, these people themselves have good experience.

Nowadays, the paper made in this workshop is very smooth from the appearance, and it is very light, and the quality is really not bad, Lu Bu wrote a few times on it, it is very smooth and there is no hindrance, in terms of quality, it is very good.

Jia Xu, Chen Gong and others who were watching next to him were all brightened, and even a big man like Dian Wei also stared at a pair of bull's eyes, although he didn't know much about this matter, but it didn't prevent him from seeing the benefits of this thing, just imagine that writing on such a thing is much more convenient than carving on bamboo slips or writing on cloth, and it is also light to carry, especially this piece of paper is so thin, but the content that can be recorded on it is sometimes far richer than a roll of bamboo slips, And the so-called five cars of Xuefu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I am afraid that if this kind of paper is used to replace the bamboo slips, even a car will not be satisfied.

In the past, those works to be handed down to the world, are generally recorded on the bamboo slips, and since the invention of paper, more and more people have written articles on it, but it has not been popularized, after all, the quality of the previous paper is too poor, far better than continue to use silk, slips, although troublesome, but insurance, such as Cao Cao and Chen Lin's discussion of Dong Xuanwen, are written on the silk, and then spread all over the world.

And after letting everyone see the quality of the paper, Lu Bu gathered everyone next to him, in an empty room, and asked everyone to sit down first, and then began to talk about business.

"After reading this paper, what do you think?"

Everyone was full of praise, which made Lu Bu very happy, and after a while, he frowned again and said, "Then what do you think will happen if this paper is seen by those people in the south?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Wen Hou's plan is to ......"

Lu Bu said with a smile: "If you just say it, then no matter how good it sounds, it's just listening, seeing is believing, although our conditions are attractive, so that the children of those commoner families can also enter the academy to study, but these Han people have been settled there for so long, they have always sought stability, naturally they will not rush to come over again, unless we give them a little sweetness first, such as this paper ......"

Chen Gong immediately understood, such a good paper, the effect is self-evident, but immediately he glanced at Jia Xu, who had nothing to do with himself, and couldn't help but hesitate: "But if this is the case, will it cause the dissatisfaction of those families, you must know that although we don't need to rely on them for the time being, the family is in control of the direction of public opinion in the world, and many of the talents we need are also from the family." What's more, although there are no families that can get their hands on this state, we can't always be in this corner, if we go to Hebei, Yingchuan, Jingyi and other places in the future, we will inevitably have to deal with those families, and if they want to embarrass us at that time, this ......"

Of course Chen Gong's consideration Lu Bu wanted to get it, but he just sneered, "What opinions can those families have, our paper books are only circulating in Bingzhou for now, and of course they will inevitably spread all over the world in the future, but at that time, can they stop it if they want to?" We didn't spread around and make enemies everywhere at the beginning, first based on Bingzhou Academy, in order to attract some well-educated people, besides, the family is not all stupid, there are always some far-sighted people, as long as these people are brought over and they are divided and suppressed, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to resist the general trend formed at that time. Speaking of which, the expression on his face full of victory makes people feel his confidence, and they can't help but be infected by him. (To be continued.)
