Chapter 178: Papermaking (Continue to add hot coffee to the alliance leader Ah Shu's house)

This kind of thing will definitely not be able to shake people for a while.

After the process improvement of Cai Lun, the middle servant of the year.

The rest of the Han Dynasty already had paper-making workshops in many places.

It's just that the raw materials used and some processes are not complete enough.

At this time, the paper produced was not at all able to replace cloth and bamboo slips.

It is difficult to process, and the quantity produced is scarce.

As a result, the price of paper is much more expensive.

And the quality of paper in this era is still a little insufficient.

There is fine paper, but it is also like the craftsmanship of that fine paper.

If you want to make paper like that, it will take a lot of effort.

When it comes to the cost, it is also something that ordinary people simply cannot consume.

What Qin Yu wants to do now is to upgrade the whole set of methods that can quickly produce paper in the current productivity environment.

If you want to make paper, the choice of raw materials is very saying.

In the past, Caihou used raw materials such as bark, hemp, cloth, and fishing nets to make paper.

After a series of processes such as frustration, pounding, frying, and baking, the paper is successfully manufactured.

However, by the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, papermaking continued to innovate.

At this stage, it can be regarded as a complete elimination of cloth and bamboo slips.

In addition to the original hemp and bark, the raw materials for papermaking have been extended to mulberry bark, rattan bark and so on.

It was naturally impossible for Qin Yu to know these things.

But he didn't know, and it didn't prevent the craftsmen in the paper workshop from knowing.

Moreover, what Qin Yu needed now didn't need to find a professional craftsman at all.

As long as he copied Cai Lun's method of processing paper, and then upgraded it with the system, he would naturally have no problems.

As for the glass......

He had to think about it.

If you can't say anything, you have to find some very strong handicraft masters to help him with research and development.

It is not necessary to be able to study the complete process of making glass.

Just research out a semi-finished product.

By reducing the number of fragments required to upgrade this manufacturing process, Qin Yu could directly upgrade the matter.

With such a plan in mind.

Qin Yu immediately returned to the county seat of Jianyang to find Feng Ji and Lou Gui.

After hearing that Qin Yu needed the production method of Cai Hou paper.

Lou Gui responded without hesitation.

The method of making Cai Hou paper is not a secret.

For them, the wealthy family, it is conducive to inheriting family learning and monopolizing knowledge.

They are very attentive.

Paper mill though not every wealthy family has something.

But when the production process of Caihou paper was widely promoted to the world.

Naturally, they all included a copy.

It's just a matter of taking this production process from home and offering it to Qin Yu.

It's not that difficult.

However, after Lou Gui saw that Qin Yu was very concerned about the production process of Cai Hou paper, he couldn't help but admonish.

"Sir, although the craftsmanship of Cai Hou paper is wonderful, the speed of the paper is not only very slow, but also not easy to preserve after the paper is formed."

"Compared with those papers, it is not as convenient as silk books and bamboo slips."

"But if the gentleman wants better paper, his subordinates know someone."

"That person's name is Zuo Bo, he is a native of Donglai County, and the Zuo Bo paper he made is a must, easy to write, and is sought after by many scholars."

"If the gentleman needs it, I can come and ask for a paper for the gentleman."

Lou Gui can be regarded as open-minded.

Qin Yu watched Lou Gui ask for his life like this, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "This is not necessary, Uncle Zi only needs to bring Cai Hou's papermaking process with me." ”

Lou Gui saw Qin Yu's resolute attitude, so he didn't say anything.

He went straight to the command.

"Mr. Xingxu just wants to see what this papermaking technique looks like, right?"

Lou Gui said secretly in his heart.

He didn't think that Qin Yu really wanted to make Caihou paper because he really wanted to make Caihou paper.

If you do, it will be a naked thankless act.

It is not necessary to be true.

After that, Qin Yu went to look for Feng Ji again.

Let him post documents in Jianyang County and recruit skilled craftsmen from the people.

If there is talent, he will not be rewarded.

Feng Ji also took the order.

After all this was arranged.

Qin Yu was a little idle.

Jianyang County is close to Wancheng.

Nanyang County is also a county with a large population, and there are nearly 10,000 households in this Jianyang County alone.

This statistical data does not include the household registration of those places in Jianyang County that are hidden in their names.

After Qin Yu arrived.

These people in Jianyang County are all very obedient.

Didn't make any moths for him.

Qin Yu felt that this might have something to do with the things he did in Luoyang, and the fact that he was now holding the title of saint and was still the marquis of Guan Nei who was personally sealed by Liu Hong.

But the bigger relationship is that he feels that it is still the credit of Feng Ji and Lou Gui.

Their Feng clan and Lou clan are indeed not ordinary families in Nanyang County.

In a place like Jianyang County, it is natural to have their family industry.

Moreover, some of those officials in Jianyang County are members of their two families.

Although it provided Qin Yu with great convenience.

But after knowing the impact that such a behemoth as the family will have on a regime in the later period.

Qin Yu still felt that this method was unsustainable.

Open the door of the world, give those poor children a space for promotion, and let everyone under their command live a good life.

This is the path of sustainable development in this era that Qin Yu feels.

……

"Then Qin Yu wants to recruit skilled craftsmen? What is he going to do? ”

It had only been less than two days since Qin Yu's documents in Jianyang County were sent.

The big families in Luoyang and the families in Nanyang County itself already knew the news.

Obviously, they couldn't figure out Qin Yu's operation.

"Want a craftsman? Okay, then send him some, I want to see what this Qin Yu wants to do. ”

The same order appears between different families.

Among them, it is naturally led by the Yuan family.

There are also many people in the great family in Jingxiang who have thought about it.

Then the territory of this thorny county inevitably became lively.

In Wancheng, Taishou Chu Gong naturally received the news.

In recent times, he could clearly feel that something was not going well under his rule.

The actions of these families have become very obvious and targeted.

Especially after Qin Yu was named the Marquis of Guannei, after returning from Luoyang, this kind of secret targeting became more and more obvious.

Chu Gong's background is not good.

Compared with those big families, he is a real son of a poor family.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to go to Xiaofang Village by himself.

When Qin Yu came back from Luoyang before, he had also come to his mansion to pay a visit.

That time, Chu Gong's sense of Qin Yu, a young man, was very good.

It's completely different from the kind of godly chatter he imagined.

What Qin Yu said, as well as his way of doing things, made Chu Gong very interested.

Later, he also thought carefully about the brief exchange with Qin Yu.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Qin Yu, a young man, was not simple.

He had already heard of the name of the divine water.

It's just that Qin Yu didn't send it, and he didn't mention it before.

To say that he has no interest in divine water is simply impossible.

Now I just took this opportunity to go to Jianyang County to take a look.

Let's see what Qin Yu is doing in Jianyang County.

If you want those craftsmen, could it be that it is really related to divine water?

If it was really related to the divine water, then he would have to mention it properly.

Qin Yu in Thorn Yang City really didn't expect his immediate boss to suddenly run over.

However, Chu Gong is also a little interesting.

He was slightly chubby and had a kind face.

He doesn't look like a scholar, but like a rich man who is very good at making money.

Qin Yu had a good impression of Chu Gong.

After the two met, Chu Gong only asked Qin Yu a little about the political development of Jianyang County, and put this matter aside for the time being.

"I heard that Xiaozhi has been searching for skilled craftsmen recently, I don't know why?"

Qin Yu had naturally thought of Chu Gong's intention.

Regarding Chu Gong's problem, Qin Yu didn't want to hide it all, so he directly said his idea of wanting to make paper.

As for the burning of glass, Qin Yu did not mention it.

"Papermaking?" Chu Gong was obviously very puzzled, "Why did you order artificial paper to be filial?" ”

Qin Yu said: "Naturally, it is to copy the classics. ”

"Taishou doesn't know, although I am now a county commander, there are too few people available to my subordinates, to say that the people under my command are all stupid people, it is not necessarily, I think that they just lack an opportunity to be able to contact these classics."

"If I give them this opportunity now, there may be some available people in the future, although it can't alleviate the urgent need, but it can always be prepared."

When Chu Gong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Take precautions!" That's a wonderful word! ”

He paused, and then asked, "But Xiaozhi, you have no available people under your command, haven't you thought about using those scholars and disciples?" There are many talented people among them, and if you can get their help, it will be very beneficial to you. ”

Qin Yu said with a smile: "Naturally, it will be activated, but Taishou doesn't think it's a good thing for the children of the scholar clan to use it too much?" ”

Chu Gong fell silent.

Qin Yu didn't speak either.

After a while, Chu Gong shook his head and said, "It's difficult." ”

Qin Yu said: "Naturally, it is difficult, but someone has to do difficult things, besides, Taishou should also know that I have some small means, at least I can ensure that these people under my rule have food and clothing." ”

"Now that they have food and clothing, and they will have nothing to worry about in the future, it is better to give these people a lecture on the history of Ziyi, so that they can increase their knowledge, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Chu Gong shook his head: "Xiaozhi, you still think too simply." ”

"Not to mention that the scriptures and history are very people who can teach, even if they can be taught, they need to be read every day to understand the mystery, you now want to copy the classics on paper, but you never thought that the paper is expensive, but it is not something that ordinary people can buy."

Qin Yu grinned when he heard this: "So, if I have the confidence to be able to make a paper that is not expensive, but also very easy to preserve, and extremely suitable for writing, what do Taishou think?" ”

Chu Gong stared at Qin Yu carefully, looking at the powerful confidence between Qin Yu's eyebrows.

I couldn't help but take a slow breath.

"In this way, it should be able to benefit the world!"
