In the craftsman's workshop, a sheet of mats stands on the ground. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ .
On the mat, there is a piece of paper as white as 'jade', and as the paper is formed, the faces of the surrounding craftsmen 'show' ecstasy. These craftsmen are all experienced, and from the appearance, you can generally see the quality of the paper.
The appearance is silky, and when it is 'touched', it must be like silk.
"Get out of the way, I'll take it down and take a look. β
A craftsman took off the white paper on the mat and stroked it carefully, and his face was 'revealed' with an intoxicated expression. This kind of paper is smooth to the touch, as if it is the skin of a young 'woman'.
"Come on, everybody come and see. β
The craftsman commanded, and the surrounding craftsmen stepped forward one after another.
After touching them one by one, the look on their faces was overjoyed.
"I didn't expect to succeed with wheat stalks, rice stalks, and bamboo, and both the quality, the speed of drying paper, and the quantity have been greatly improved. What's more, our labor and costs have also been greatly reduced. β
"Yes, I thought that Lord Zhou Mu was just a whim, but I didn't expect it to be really successful. β
"Since we have succeeded, what are we still doing in a daze, quickly, we immediately cut the paper, and then give it to the master mother, so that the master mother can 'hand' it over to the state pastor. β
"Yes, yes, act fast. β
The craftsmen in the workshop took action, quickly cutting the dried paper, and then neatly placing it.
A stack of paper as white as 'jade' quickly piled up.
The leading craftsman sent the paper to Huang Yueying's hands, and Huang Yueying was also extremely happy when she saw the results. At present, Zuo Bo paper is also quite good, but the cost is expensive, so people who have a book collection at home are either rich or expensive.
Nowadays, it can make paper in large quantities, which means that under Liu Xiu's rule, it will inevitably be prosperous.
Huang Yueying asked the 'waiter' to come to Liu Xiu's study with the newly made paper.
Liu Xiu asked, "Yueying, is there something wrong?"
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Husband, what do you think this is?" As soon as she beckoned, the accompanying 'attendant' put a stack of white as 'jade' paper on Liu Xiu's desk.
After Liu Xiu saw it, he didn't understand anything, and said in surprise: "Did you finally succeed?"
Huang Yueying said: "It's successful, the papermaking technique that my husband has improved has been successful." I carefully asked the craftsman, the new papermaking technology, can make paper on a large scale, and the material is cheap, easy to make, now the cost has been greatly reduced, can make paper in batches. β
"Okay, that's good. β
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed with brilliance.
The birth of the revolutionary papermaking technology, coupled with the success of the Lu'men Academy, will surely set off a frenzy of 'tide'.
In this way, Liu Xiu can have a chance to develop.
Liu Xiu said: "Yueying, you have worked hard. β
Huang Yueying said softly: "It's not hard, this is all arranged by my husband, I just watched them make it, and I don't go there often, I only go to see it occasionally." β
Liu Xiu held Huang Yueying's hand, and after the two talked for a while, Huang Yueying said: "Now, the new white paper has come out, and the husband must be of great use, and the concubine will not bother if he wants to discuss the matter." β
"Hmm!"
Liu Xiu got up to see Huang Yueying leave, and then instructed Deng Ai to invite Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Pang Degong to come to the study of the state pastoral mansion to discuss matters.
Half an hour later, the five arrived at the study.
It's just that Jia Xu is sitting in the study, although he has already met with the rest of the people, but now he is still a newcomer after all, so after Jia Xu sat down, he sat quietly.
Liu Xiu's gaze swept over a few people, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I have another great joy in Jingzhou." β
"What's the matter?"
The Yi nationality was suspicious and confused, and his face was puzzled.
Kuai Liang asked, "Lord, isn't it because you have won the battle again?"
The rest of the people looked at Liu Xiu, and their eyes also showed curiosity.
Liu Xiu took out five pieces of paper, handed them to Kuai Liang, Yi Yuan and others one by one, and then said: "The happy event I am talking about is not the war, but this, take a closer look." β
Yi Jimo held the paper as white as 'jade' and said, "Lord, is this kind of paper made by us?"
Pang Degong's Lu'men Academy is under construction, and it needs a large collection of books, which means that it needs a lot of paper, and this kind of paper is the most important thing for him.
Pang Degong's breathing was slightly short, and he said, "Liu Jingzhou, this paper is very good, is there anything special?"
Liu Xiu said: "This is the paper produced by the craftsman's workshop after improving the papermaking, which can be made in large quantities, and the cost of production is also very low." β
When Pang Degong, Yi and others heard this, they all exclaimed.
Yi Yuan praised: "It's great that Jingzhou can improve papermaking and be able to make paper in large quantities." β
Kuai Liang said: "With the appearance of this paper, Jingzhou's literary style must be brilliant, and the world's scholars will definitely gather in Jingzhou." Even, the world's merchants will be moved by the wind and compete to buy and sell. β
Pang Tong said: "This piece of paper can be worth 100,000 soldiers." β
Pang Degong listened to Pang Tong's words and scolded: "What 100,000 soldiers, in the eyes of the old man, even if it is a million soldiers, it can't compare to such a paper." β
Pang Tong said: "Yes, you have a point. β
Jia Xu opened his mouth and asked, "The lord has made such a paper, how do you plan to name it, and how do you arrange it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Everyone understands that when such paper appears, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and it will have a great effect. So, it must have a role.
Liu Xiudao: "The name of the paper, named Xuan paper, has the meaning of wide publicity, which is just right. β
In fact, Liu Xiu's so-called explanation is also an arbitrary interpretation, just to link it to the location of the previous life, and the reason why the previous life is called Xuan paper is because the location is in Xuanzhou Mansion.
Now, Liu Xiu quoted directly.
Pound said fairly: "Xuan paper, rice paper, this name is good." Jingzhou's rice paper must be famous all over the world. β
Kuai Liang said: "The appearance of rice paper will definitely increase the status of the lord again. β
Jia Xu glanced at Liu Xiu, he was also a smart person, and he knew that the appearance of rice paper would definitely cause a big 'wave'. Such a situation must be beneficial to Liu Xiu.
In fact, Liu Xiu has too many weaknesses compared to Cao Cao'.
However, the appearance of rice paper made Jia Xu more confident in his heart, maybe Liu Xiu could really counterattack Cao 'Cao'.
Liu Xiu coughed lightly, and everyone quieted down, and then Liu Xiu said: "The news of the rice paper, I will control it for the time being, and order the people in the craftsman's workshop not to leak it." The five of you know it, and you can't leak the news for the time being. Next, I will start to produce a large number of books, and when the Lumen Academy opens, I will convert the rice paper into the collection of the Lumenmen Academy. β
When Pang Degong heard this, his heart was 'excited', and his breathing became even more rapid.
With the collection of books made on rice paper, Pang Degong became more confident.
Yi said: "My lord, although rice paper is now inexhaustible, it can be produced in large quantities. But there is also a problem, that is, in order to make a collection, it is necessary for countless people to copy it, which also requires a lot of manpower and material resources. β
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Mr. Jibo, don't worry, I have already prepared for this." β
To print books on a large scale, it is obviously quite difficult to copy them by hand.
Movable type printing was necessary.
Liu Xiu said it a lot, and everyone didn't put forward the meaning, nor did they ask questions. After discussing the situation of the rice paper, they dispersed and went about their own business.
Liu Xiu went directly to the craftsman's workshop and ordered the order not to leak out, and then recruited the person in charge of the craftsman's workshop and ordered the production of movable type and movable type printing.
The person in charge of the craftsman's workshop listened carefully, and the more he heard about it, the more shocked he became.
After listening, he was already completely convinced, and he respected Liu Xiu like a heavenly man.
Liu Xiu arranged the matter, acted as the shopkeeper, and then went back to the study. In three days, the craftsman's workshop produced a batch of movable type, and then found a book called "The Analects" to print.
Compared with manual copying, this speed is naturally faster and more neat. The craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop, looking at the final printed books, felt a sense of pride in their hearts.
When Liu Xiu got the first sample book, he ordered to take out the collection of books from the state pastoral mansion and print them. The completion of the Lu'men Academy is near, and the preparation of the books must be completed in a hurry.
