Chapter 19 The exquisite heart is like snow paper, and the slave skillfully manifests thaumaturgy.

For people who are more delicate than these seven tricks, papermaking is actually quite simple, first grind the fiber, wash it, and then press it after filtering.

Papermaking is just according to this step, so that the paper made is delicate and soft, and it is effortless.

Soon, the first sheets of paper were baked, and they were as white as snow and as light as silk.

He splashed ink and wrote the mystery of papermaking on the paper: "pulping, cooking, grinding, copying, drying, ....."

The basket that was mixed together with him was quite out of shape, and he was also a person who had seen papermaking.

Because of this, he also knew that papermaking was divided into many steps, and he expected that the first paper should be made at the very beginning, and the paper should be dark yellow and rough, dyed with yellow tiller, and the rough yellow paper written in papermaking is not particularly suitable for writing.

This is also the task given to them by the king of Shang. Although it is rough, it is also very good for now, and it is said that this kind of yellow paper is called Xue Tao paper, and it can only be made into this Xue Tao paper after 1663 from today.

The answer space gives a white and flawless, light white paper like a cicada's wings, according to the answer space given by the papermaking book, it will take more than 3,000 years to be made, and this short five or six days of hard work will be done? Directly across 3,000 years?

Jizi watched Bigan write the whole process of papermaking, and saw him complete the production of paper, and sure enough, the cost was extremely low, and there were many improvements compared to the original papermaking technique given by King Wu Cheng.

Bigan summarized the papermaking process in the simplest words, and tried to make Miko understand as soon as possible

"This paper-making thing is very simple, only four steps, first of all, I write about the raw materials, such as bamboo or wheat straw, and even some rotten cloth and rotten fishing nets, soak and boil, and let them degum."

"Then the boiled material is grinded, the finer the material is grinded, the better the toughness of the paper, and it is best to add some resin."

"The third is papermaking, sieving out excess moisture from the material and putting the pulp in a container."

"The last thing is to lay the slurry and dry it, and slowly remove the white paper."

But Miko's jaw dropped in shock, not because it was too difficult for him to understand, but because it was too simple.

It was made of materials that were thrown on the ground and no one wanted, and the paper-making tools were so easy to make, and even the entire manufacturing process, he thought that even his own stupid slaves would probably be able to learn it.

"Congratulations to Uncle Wang for this great achievement, I am afraid that in the future, there will be a place for Uncle Wang in the Temple of the Human Race."

Mizi looked at Bigan with envy in his eyes.

Life is only a short hundred years, and it is a flick of a finger.

How many of the ministers in the imperial court who are loyal to the country are not for the sake of their former and posterior fame?

And Bigan is really a temple now that it has been sacrificed for thousands of years, and it is even more certain that it will be passed down through the ages, and future generations can think of Bigan as long as they look at the paper.

On the other hand, I am so incompetent, wait, I am also a witness to the invention of papermaking, if I rub the merits, wouldn't it be ......

Thinking of this, Ji Zi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Wang, now I will prepare to dedicate this paper-making technique to Your Majesty with me!" ”

Bigan shook his head slightly, and continued to write on other papers, perfecting the engineering and precautions of papermaking.

After a long time, he raised his head and handed a piece of white paper full of words to Jizi, "No need, I won't go, you can go in person." ”

"Brother Wang, this...."

Miko hesitated a little, although he wanted merit and fame, he was just planning to rub around.

There was thought that Bigan was willing to give up the merit of dedication to himself, although everyone knew that Bigan was solely responsible for papermaking, and he was also the one who contributed the most, but the matter of dedication was enough for the historian to make himself famous in history.

"You and my brother, why should you care about such a trivial matter, and by the way, please ask for a reward for your subordinate slaves." Bigan laughed

In fact, many people don't know that in addition to being an important minister of the Shang royal family, Bigan also has another identity, that is, the largest slave owner of the Great Shang, and it is only because of the fact that the Shang prince does not like slaves today, he is much more low-key.

But the slaves are always there, although the king of Shang does not like it, but Bigan is reluctant to dismiss such a large amount of slaves, because the effect is still quite large, for example, the progress of papermaking is so fast and it is inseparable from so many slaves.

And now that the papermaking technique is successful, he is destined to be immortal in history, and it is time to consider the king's likes and dislikes, and asking for rewards for slaves is the first step, not to mention that these slaves also have great achievements.

Thinking of this section, Bigan said: "Brother Wang, go quickly, I still have something to do."

In fact, what I saw for Miko was not the real first batch of paper, but the fifth batch after many improvements, and many interesting things were found in the process of making these products.

I saw Bigan holding Shi Nirvana in his hand and pressing Shi Nirvana on a white piece of paper full of words.

Shi Ni has a record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: "Three hundred miles southwest of the mountain, it is said that the mountain of the female bed, its yang is more red copper, and its yin is more stone Nirvana." ”

And this stone Nirvana is as black as ink, and it is also a rare thing in Chaoge, and Bigan just made a batch of curiosity.

And when he was busy improving papermaking a few days ago, he found that this stone was extremely suitable for writing on paper, so he collected a lot of it.

Because there were too many of them, one of the subordinates dropped a piece of stone nirvana on the freshly made paper, and it was covered all over the paper.

When Bigan saw Shi Ni fall on the paper, a big character faintly appeared, and he was deeply inspired.

The things that carry the words can be tortoise shells, bamboo slips, stones, or freshly made paper.

Then why can't there be more forms of written things? You may be able to write without using your hands.

Jizi was surprised to see this object, because the light ink traces printed on the paper could actually vaguely see a big "Shang" word.

"Brother Wang, what kind of ..... is this?"

"I call this thing printing, which can make books without copying, and can be copied with just one click like me, but it is still being studied, and Shi Ni does not seem to be very suitable for this technique, so I will explain it to you in the future." Bigan sighed.

"How can there be such a miracle? Brother Wang is really my great businessman and Zhongxing giant! Jizi was dumbfounded, secretly frightened, if it was really as Brother Wang said, with paper that was easy to make, and a way to print hundreds of words casually, wouldn't knowledge no longer be exclusive to aristocratic ministers and even spread all over the world?!

He knew that the king of Shang had promoted the people of Li and appointed slaves since he ascended the throne, but the slaves and commoners were really overwhelmed, and they could only do things to do the army, which was unbearable, so the king of Shang slowed down the matter and rarely mentioned it again.

If there is this technique, the slaves and commoners can also read and learn calligraphy, I am afraid that no one can shake the position of the first minister of the Great Shang of Brother Wang!
