Liu Ponu finally escaped from the endless bamboo slip center for more than a season.

At first, I felt quite a feeling, not that it was comfortable to see, but mainly because the atmosphere was set off there, and I was embarrassed to say that I had been to ancient times without experiencing it, right?

But when Liu Ponu was thrown into the pile of bamboo slips, he really realized the pain caused by bamboo slips.

It was only at this time that Liu Po realized why paper was made one of the four great inventions, and it was really a life-saving thing.

It's not that I didn't do it before, and it's not that I won't, as a member of the Civil Science Department, what else is there that Liu Ponu won't do?

Before, I didn't have the time and energy to do it, iron smelting, waterwheels, and curved plows, which one is not more important than papermaking in the short term?

And what made Liu Ponu unbearable at the beginning was that he had to use a toilet chip to scrape when he went to the toilet, what was a toilet chip?

To put it bluntly, it is a small piece of bamboo, one end is polished into a pointed shape, the shape just coincides with the butt groove, and it is polished to prevent being scratched, and it is just taken and scraped directly after going to the toilet.

So this year, the standard configuration with the toilet is a bucket, which is convenient for you to wash after you are done.

Well, don't think about it, it's the toilet chips......

After returning to his yard, Liu Ponu immediately asked people to go to Shaofu to move a batch of bamboo, in order to improve efficiency, Liu Ponu also specially explained to move those molded, not yet had time to polish and assemble the fixed semi-finished products.

Papermaking is one of the greatest inventions, and there is no one.

This thing seems to be advanced, but it's actually the same thing after you figure it out.

If you don't eat materials, any material can be made, it's nothing more than good or bad quality.

But what does it matter if paper is good or bad?

Good quality can be used to write, poor quality can be used to wipe mouth and buttocks, and worse can be burned as paper money for the ancestors, anyway, as long as it can be made, then it will have his use, don't worry about it at all.

The reason why Liu Ponu chose bamboo to make paper is mainly because there are ready-made ones in the palace.

Neither did he need to spend a lot of effort to cut down trees outside, nor did he need to find someone to cut them into small pieces and move them directly from Shaofu, the previous process could at least save him ten days of effort.

"Uncle Liu, this account must be recorded!" Looking at a large pile of bamboo chips placed in the courtyard, Liu Ponu thought about it, and still commanded Uncle Liu.

"King, this thing is worthless, and besides, we haven't paid any money, so what are we doing with accounts?" Liu Qu asked a little uncertainly.

"Liu Bohu Tu, once the thing I want to make comes out, the influence is not ordinary, I can even assure you that there will definitely be a lot of people who are red-eyed at that time, this thing is not suitable for me to control, after all, I have to think about it for the future, right?"

"So I'm going to put this thing in the workshop, so that this thing is always in the hands of the royal family, so that it will be easy to control the price, and it will be convenient for future operations, and it will also make some people discourage the idea of interfering." Liu Ponu looked serious and said selflessly.

As a matter of fact......

It's a loss, how to say that it is also the four major inventions, although Cai Lun invented paper, but Cai Lun himself did not gain much benefit from this invention, at most it is a famous history and obtained an official position.

But Cai Lun's brother Cai Mo is very unhappy, obviously such a terrible thing, why did you just hand it over to the court in a daze?

Cai Mo and his wife were envious, and Cai Lun refused to disclose the key technology of papermaking.

As a result, Cai Mo's paper made because of jealousy was too poor to write and no one cared about it, and the pants that he lost were lost, and Cai Mo's wife fainted angrily, and after waking up, she preached, and the couple suddenly became popular by mistake.

This also led to the fact that although the price of the paper made by Cai Mo and his wife was very low, the cost was also very low, and the concept of filial piety in the Han Dynasty deeply affected everyone.

Paper money can be used in the underworld, if you don't burn your ancestors, you will have no money to spend, your ancestors will have no money to spend when they die, and you will live a poor life, that is, you descendants who are still alive are not filial.

Therefore, Cai Mo and his wife earn more than Cai Lun, not to mention sales.

Although Liu Ponu hasn't searched to the point where he can't pick up something when he goes out, even if he loses money, he can't accept that he can't accept that he doesn't have any gain from such an important thing.

Well, what is corrupt or not, we must pay attention to fairness and justice in life and work, and we should be rewarded for our efforts.

What if I give myself something in return, and give myself a consolation prize?

Isn't that reasonable?

Besides, no matter how greedy I am, how can I be greedy?

At most, it's just a scientific research fee, so how much is it?

Do you know how much benefit this thing will generate in the future? I've lost a lot, you know?

"Uncle Liu, remember that the accounts are a little higher, you look at the specific arrangement, if it really doesn't work, call Wang Bing over and let him do it, he is more familiar with this kind of thing, anyway, my goal is that when I make the paper, the research funds will cost him at least hundreds of thousands of dollars......" The more Liu Ponu thought about it, the more he felt a loss, and the more he thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt in his heart.

Although these things are still his own, he just feels that he is at a loss, why should the bad old man enjoy all the benefits of what he has done?

He's trying to exhaust me to death......

Yes, at least I have to be greedy for hundreds of thousands of dollars to make my heart a little more balanced, otherwise I don't have much strength to do this work.

Liu Qu pursed his lips and nodded with a wry smile.

The longer he followed Liu Ponu's side, the more confused he felt.

You will become the prince soon, and the emperor will let you supervise the country, to put it bluntly, this is no different from the emperor, and even the emperor is not shy about the matter of Chan Rang, although he didn't say when, but wouldn't it be a matter of time before you became the emperor?

The whole world is yours, why are you still greedy for this little money?

Liu Ponu now gives Liu Qu the feeling that he is obviously holding a mountain of gold, and it is clear that a mountain of gold is yours, and you can take whatever you want, but every time you go to Jinshan, Liu Ponu will always habitually and quietly put some on herself.

I don't understand, what the hell are you trying to do?

Isn't it fragrant to take him openly?

Of course, Liu Qu would not say these words to Liu Ponu, Liu Ponu's shamelessness has exceeded the imagination of normal people.

After being in contact for so long, Liu Qu could even guess how Liu Ponu would answer once he asked like this.

If I am not greedy, how can I understand the thoughts of those corrupt officials? So I'm not trying to be greedy, I'm just trying to understand their thoughts, so as to stop their corruption at the source......

can talk about corruption so highly, and even want the audience to applaud and shout for him, I am afraid that only Liu Ponu can do it in the whole world.

The next thing was much simpler, and the carpenters began to build some of the tools they needed, such as bamboo mats, presses, etc.

Bricklayers built all kinds of pools, which were used for steaming, cooling, and papermaking.

The process and steps of papermaking are actually not difficult, it is nothing more than refining and rearranging the fibers in the plant, which is actually not difficult to do.

On the third day, all the processes were prepared, and Liu Ponu began to study papermaking.

First, he threw the bamboo pieces into the cauldron, covered the lid and began to burn the fire, which burned him for half a day in one go.

Then let the bamboo pieces be taken out and cooled, and the debris and skin will be cleaned up.

Then it is repeatedly beaten to make it pulp, and finally it is put into the paper basin and stirred into pulp water, and the grinding tools and bamboo mats are put in to start making paper.

The finished wet paper is neatly stacked together, and the water is squeezed with a pressing table, and then the final drying process begins.

And then......

Well......

"Did you press too hard?" Looking at the paper sticking together, civil scientist Liu Ponu couldn't help frowning.

There is nothing wrong with the process and steps, how can these papers stick together after pressing the water?

It stands to reason that at this time, it should be easy to separate the paper one by one, instead of picking up one and looking at it, in fact, there are many sheets on it, and I don't dare to use force, and it will be broken with a little force.

"King, there's little force over there, but you can't even pick it up......"

Half a month later......

Through continuous experiments, Liu Ponu finally figured out the key to the problem, and there was no problem with his steps.

The problem is that there is one process missing.

The bamboo slices have been improved from direct cooking to soaking for a few days before cooking, and there are some subtle changes in other processes, but what is really missing is glue.

The paper is easy to break, which means that the toughness is not good, and the adhesion is also because the toughness is not good, and the previous shape is destroyed when the water is pressed, so that it is regrouped.

Liu Ponu suddenly remembered a small video he had watched, and immediately asked people to look for Jiaoye.

The gum leaves do not specifically specify the leaves of a certain kind of tree, all the leaves that can produce gum can be used, but the effects are different for different varieties, and for the current Liu Ponu, there is also a fart effect, first cause it and then say, and then slowly improve it.

When fusing the pulp water, Liu Ponu asked people to pour the boiled rubber leaf water into it and stir it together.

This time, the paper did not stick together after the pressurized water process, and it looked tough.

After drying on the flat stone platform, watching the formed paper be made like this, although it was expected, Liu Ponu still felt a strong sense of achievement.

Holding the rattling, brown finished paper in his hand, Liu Ponu instantly became excited.

Directly let people bring pen and ink to test, whether this paper can be used for writing, mainly depends on whether the paper itself eats ink, otherwise a piece of paper to write a word, then play an egg, not as convenient as the previous bamboo slips.

Liu Ponu first randomly scratched a few lines on a piece of primary color paper, and after careful observation, he found that the situation of eating ink was not serious, but there was also the phenomenon of eating ink.

So let people continue to add glue leaf water to the pulp pool, and the experiment is like this.

It didn't take much effort, Liu Ponu got the new paper, and there was a little difference in the feel, well, purely by feeling.

Then I made a few random strokes, and this time the situation got a lot better.

Continuing to repeat the process, after a few times, Liu Ponu finally got the paper that satisfied him.

said that it took two months, but it was done in half a month, even if he was very confident at the beginning, but at this time Liu Ponu still felt that he was terrible.

Immediately picked up the pen and wrote a few large characters on a brand new piece of paper.

"With our efficiency, the emperor has to give us a kowtow when he comes...... Cool ......"

It's not the first time Liu Ponu has said this kind of thing, he said this kind of thing in front of the bad old man last time, of course, this is not that thought, the main thing is to release the pressure in his heart.

However, just when Liu Ponu was infinitely satisfied, a voice suddenly came from behind him that made his hairs stand on end.

"Come on! Come! Come! You pick a seat and sit down, and I'll give you a ......."
