After Fang Yuan left, Sanniang walked in and reported back and forth: "Master, the paper workshop has come to report that the paper has been manufactured." ”

Bai Ziyun was overjoyed, stood up and said, "Okay, go take a look!" ”

Bai Ziyun ran to the paper mill, where the craftsmen were busy, and when they saw Bai Ziyun coming, they hurriedly saluted.

The deacon of the paper mill came quickly and saluted, "The little one is the master!" ”

"Bring me the paper!" Bai Ziyun said.

"Yes!"

A few pieces of paper were quickly handed over, and the paper was soft, evenly thick, evenly wrinkled, white and shiny, and free of impurities.

Bai Ziyun rubbed the soft white paper, and felt a burst of excitement in his heart, he finally got this kind of paper out, it was not easy.

At this time, a person came running quickly, shouting as he ran: "Shangxian, I heard that cheaper paper is made in the workshop, but is it true? ”

"It's true!" Bai Ziyun nodded with a smile and looked at the person who came, this person was dressed in black with a high crown and a wide robe, and it was Zheng Xuan, a famous man.

"How much does a knife cost?" Zheng Xuan asked anxiously.

"If you sell it, it's about forty to fifty dollars." Bai Ziyun had a strange smile on his face.

"It's so cheap, is that true?" Zheng Xuan roared, extremely excited, and his eyes were about to glow.

"Nature is true!" Bai Ziyun nodded, he was quite puzzled that Zheng Xuan was so excited, did he need to be so excited? Didn't this world have been there paper for a long time?

Zheng Xuan is a native of this world, and he knows more about paper than Bai Ziyun.

Paper has been invented in the Western Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago, but the paper at that time was made of a layer of flocculent left after silkworm cocooning, the output is very low, the cost is high, and the quality is not good, so it can only be used as a rare thing, and it has not been promoted.

After Cai Lun improved the papermaking technology, the cost of paper was greatly reduced, the quality was also improved, and Cai Lun paper was gradually promoted. Among them, the most famous is Zuobo paper, which is white and delicate, bright in color, and is widely used by high-ranking families and families.

But what about the children of the poor family? I still can't afford it.

But now Bai Ziyun actually said that forty to fifty dollars is a knife, one knife is a hundred, and one dollar can buy two. Is Zheng Xuanneng excited? What does it mean to be so cheap?

Having such a cheap paper means that poor students can buy it, so that poor students can improve their knowledge by copying books. With such a cheap paper, it means that poor students can have a collection of books at home, can practice day and night, and the future knowledge will not be worse than the children of the family, and in the long run, the number of poor students will increase, and the monopoly of the family on knowledge can be broken. The availability of such inexpensive paper meant that the learning of the saints could be popularized, and the common people would no longer be ignorant, but knowledgeable......

Zheng Xuan thought about it a lot, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, feeling that a great era was coming, and what carried this great era was the blank paper in front of him.

Zheng Xuan almost picked up the white paper carefully with a pilgrimage mentality, touched it, and couldn't help frowning: "Shangxian, why is this white paper so soft and loose, I'm afraid that I can't write pen and ink." ”

"This paper wasn't meant to be written." Bai Ziyun said leisurely.

"What are you for?" Zheng Xuan asked strangely.

"This thing is called toilet paper, and it is used to wipe the filth in the toilet." Bai Ziyun still said leisurely.

"Poof!"

Zheng Xuan almost didn't have a mouthful of blood spurting out, and it turned into a pair of piercing intestines.

"Going to the toilet? Filth? Zheng Xuan said in a trembling voice, his face was full of disbelief, and his brain was booming, the great dream, the great era disappeared.

Bai Ziyun looked at Zheng Xuan strangely, it turned out that the ancients were so excited when they saw toilet paper for the first time, it is estimated that they are also very uncomfortable using "toilet chips", this toilet paper can be described as a toilet revolution.

"Toilet paper is household paper, which is extremely thin and fragile, melts when exposed to water, is clean and comfortable, and is discarded when ...... use"

"Tyrannical things, tyrannical things!" Zheng Xuan suddenly shouted, beating his chest, and was extremely sad and angry.

Everyone looked at each other, this person wouldn't be crazy!

"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng......" Bai Ziyun called for a while, and Zheng Xuan gradually calmed down, staring at the white paper in his hand with red eyes, as if he had a deep hatred.

"Why produce such luxury? Why don't you produce a blank sheet of paper on which scholars can write? Zheng Xuan's voice was hoarse, and he was still angry.

, toilet paper is a luxury? Bai Ziyun shook his head helplessly, and picked up another piece of white paper from the deacon's hand, this white paper was delicate and smooth, white as frost, thin and tough.

"The white paper you are talking about is this kind of paper, right? This paper is also cheaper, just slightly more expensive than toilet paper. ”

Zheng Xuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly took the white paper from Bai Ziyun's hand, checked it with blazing eyes, and found that this white paper was much better than the "Zuobo paper", and it could indeed be written, so he asked: "Shangxian, how much is this paper?" ”

"It's more expensive than toilet paper, about seventy yuan, this is the price I sell at home, and other agents will be one or two times higher."

The Baiyun paper technology invented by Bai Ziyun came from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with low cost and excellent paper, which is very suitable for students to write and paint, and even poor children can buy it. There is also modern papermaking technology in the system, the cost is lower, and the paper is better, but the pollution environment is very strict, and Bai Ziyun did not consider it.

Zheng Xuan calculated in his heart, and felt that this price was acceptable to the children of the poor family, and suddenly felt comfortable, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Shangxian, what is the daily output of this thing?"

"Not much, just meet the needs of the students!" Bai Ziyun said slowly.

Zheng Xuan was anxious again all of a sudden: "Why is this?" The immortals have mastered such a secret technique, even if they only do business, they are also very profitable, not to mention that this thing carries the learning of the saints, the holy object of teaching and educating people, why is it not widely spread? ”

"The reason is very simple, those families who monopolize knowledge will not watch the children of the poor family come out, which will bring disadvantages to my long-term stay."

Zheng Xuan was slightly stunned, and then said unhappily: "The upper immortal is an immortal in the world, and he is still afraid of those filthy mortals? ”

In Zheng Xuan's opinion, Bai Ziyun has vast powers, and those powerful families who are looking for trouble with immortals are completely looking for death, even if the emperor and eunuchs, the immortals can also be destroyed at will.

"I'm naturally not afraid of mortals, but I'm afraid of the way of heaven, and we immortal cultivators can't interfere too much in mortal affairs, otherwise it will bring unforeseen disasters." Bai Ziyun said with a smile, his expression was extremely relaxed.

"Don't meddle too much in mortal affairs?" Zheng Xuan was skeptical, and thought about the actions of the ancient immortals in his mind, feeling that those immortals seemed to be true, so he was anxious, but it was not difficult for a while.

Although most of Bai Ziyun's words are pretexts, he also has concerns in his heart, he has no companions and mentors on the road of cultivating immortals, he just groped alone, and those Taoist books and modern novels in later generations about immortals should not be too involved in the mortal world, otherwise there will be a catastrophe.

Zheng Xuan was already in a state of mind and left with a disappointed face. Bai Ziyun continued to inspect the workshop to understand the situation.

After a while, a house slave ran over and whispered to Bai Ziyun: "Master, the young master of Gongsun is back and is asking to see him in the living room!" ”

"Haha~ This kid is finally back!" Bai Ziyun laughed.
