Zhao Rui, the third son of the emperor, frowned.

"You kid don't pay too much attention to women, especially women other than Yuanhua."

Xiang Yan said "yes, yes, yes".

Zhao Rui had no choice but to leave the table after agreeing and continue to eat with his two friends.

After Zhao Rui left, Yuan Hua hurriedly picked up Xiang Yan and left the place as if fleeing for his life.

When he returned to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Yuan Hua patted his chest fearfully and said:

"It's so dangerous, if the third emperor brother recognizes it, then I will really be scolded."

"I was scolded by my brother again, and I had to be scolded by my father."

Xiang Yan said.

"I'm afraid not."

"You see he saw me with a strange woman, and he repeatedly reminded me not to make mistakes."

"I think he's quite fond of your sister."

Princess Yuanhua said.

"The heart is on the heart, and the scolding will be scolded."

"It's better to say that it's because of my heart that I will scold me."

Xiang Yan felt that it made sense.

In order to prevent Princess Yuanhua from being exposed, he hurriedly sent her back to the house.

After sending Yuanhua home, he returned to his own home.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Yuyue was waiting for him at the door.

I saw Xiang Yuyue say to Xiang Yan with a wicked smile.

"Guess what the first gossip I collected was?"

Xiang Yan asked, "What is it?" ”

Xiang Yuyue said.

"After meeting you this afternoon, I saw Princess Yuanhua's carriage in our backyard."

"But I searched all over the house, but I didn't see Princess Yuanhua."

"So following you today, the person I met was her, right?"

"Yes, you kid."

"This is already completely done with Yuanhua."

"I can sneak out with you!"

"I didn't expect Xiang Yan, you still have a good way of coaxing girls."

Xiang Yan was speechless.

"That's the first gossip you said?"

"Gossip is indeed enough gossip, but I still need you to tell me about this?"

"Don't take my money and don't do anything."

Xiang Yuyue's face was full of urgency, and she had an expression of wanting to eat melons:

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, where are you and Princess Yuanhua?"

Xiang Yan ruthlessly refused.

"It's not your business, you'd better do the tasks assigned to you by the organization, right?"

"By the way, let's get up a little early tomorrow and go to the paper workshop."

Xiang Yuyue was curious:

"What are you doing there?"

Xiang Yan: "Go and dismantle the original set of tools and replace them with the equipment of my wood pulping method." ”

Early the next morning.

After Xiang Yan got up, Xiang Yuyue was already playing her set of five poultry plays again.

After seeing Xiang Yan ready, the two went out together.

Liu Yan didn't come to drive today, he used someone from the Right Minister's Mansion, and he also drove the carriage of the Right Minister's Mansion.

Waited until the Xiang's paper workshop.

I saw people from the Fish Boat Club moving some machinery to the workshop.

After the second batch of test papers was successfully manufactured yesterday, Xiang Yan drew the improved design drawings overnight.

Then I found a blacksmith shop and built it overnight.

Just to put it into service today.

And yesterday's test paper Xiang Yan looked at it, the quality is very good, but there is still a lack of antioxidants to be added when blending.

So Xiang Yan decided to add some conventional antioxidants.

The paper produced by this process has basically met the standard.

It can be used as newspaper paper.

Do this first, and if there is a problem later, you can solve it.

After entering the workshop, the people of the Fish Boat Club were busy installing the equipment.

By the way, as mentioned earlier at Xiang Yuyue's suggestion, the part driven by manpower was changed to rely on donkeys to drive this improvement.

Xiang Yan didn't do that.

Because of the lack of space in the workshop, it is still difficult to use donkeys.

And what Xiang Yuyue said is not unreasonable.

If the work is done by the donkey.

With so many workers, more than half of them must be laid off.

As soon as I entered the workshop, I listened to Zhu Laosan, the most qualified craftsman in the previous workshop, sighing there.

"Hey...... It's over, it's over......"

"A century-old papermaking mill, that's it."

"What are these things? Dream of making paper from this kind of thing? ”

"I think from now on, this paper mill is afraid that it will change its career, and it will not be able to produce a single piece of paper."

"A good workshop, in the end, is still plagued by fun-loving rich kids."

"Haha......"

Xiang Yan was immediately angry:

"Zhu Laosan, what kind of military spirit are you messing up with the people's gossip here?"

Zhu Laosan replied:

"Is it my words that are disturbing the hearts of the army, or are they the actions of some people?"

Hey, this old boy is pretending to be a philosopher.

Xiang Yan ordered Zhu Laosandao.

"Do you think this equipment can't make paper?"

"Okay, then you can do it yourself, and you can experience it yourself, whether it can work or not!"

Xiang Yan first asked Zhu Laosan to check the equipment.

The first is to see if there is any disharmony, and the second is to let him confirm with his own eyes that there is no paper in the device that has been put in advance.

Then Xiang Yan told him to put in the wood that the fish boat would bring in.

and asked him to put less.

After all, if you put too much, he can't push the power equipment that can be pushed by ten people.

Then under the command of Xiang Yan, Zhu Laosan pulled up the grinding.

The movement here has already stopped the work in everyone's hands, and the workers of the original workshop and the people who came to help from the fishing boat all watched Zhu Laosan pull the mill together.

By the time the wood in the first machine was all made into pulp.

Xiang Yan asked Zhu Laosan to stop, and then turned on the equipment to see the pulp that had been made inside.

Zhu Laosan disdainfully opened the lid on the device.

Take a look inside.

But he was stunned by the milky white pulp inside.

He never expected that the wood that went in would become like this.

But he shook his head anyway:

"It's a good idea, it's a little bit like making paper."

"But the concentration is too high, and there is no cohesiveness, and the paper is very rough, and it will not be strong."

"It's hard to say whether or not the things that are made can be called paper."

Xiang Yan said: "What's the hurry, I didn't see that this is the first machine, there are so many more." Keep it up. ”

Then under the command of Xiang Yan, Zhu Laosan got the pulp from the first equipment to the second equipment.

Then the man also moved to the power system of the second device and pulled up the mill again.

The pulp is after passing through the loose pulping of the second plant.

Under the command of Xiang Yan, he was operated by Zhu Laosan and entered the third equipment.

After the old man Zhu transferred to the third power system to work, the beating process was completed.

"Alright." Xiang Yan said, "Now let's open the lid and take a look." ”

This time, Zhu Laosan had no disdain on his face.

Instead, it brought a touch of caution and some thought.

He couldn't see what was going on inside the machine.

But intuitively, I could feel that the pulp inside must have changed again.
