When Lin Yan returned to the laboratory, everyone else had arrived, busy with their own work.

She looked at them one by one, and the smell in the room was really bad, and there was a strange smell.

The few papermaking methods they found required lime soaking, but they didn't have them, so they had to find other alternatives.

Grass ash is also alkaline and has become the first choice.

Everyone participated in the experiment, soaking in different proportions and making the slurry through processes such as cooking. I want to find the best way to make the slurry.

Lin Yan looked at the straw paper made by Bai Chen, which was not fine enough, the thickness was uneven, and the problems were very serious.

In the past two days, Lin Yan has provided a new method of making paper, and they want to use the existing things to make paper that can be written.

After reading it, Lin Yan felt that it was too difficult to make it, and there were too many added substances. Even if you make it, it's hard to use it for writing. To make good paper, it is a very complicated process, relying on their existing conditions, it is extremely difficult to complete.

This is a long-term process that is difficult to complete in a short period of time. She was still too anxious.

After thinking for more than an hour, Lin Yan made up his mind and called people together.

Hua Min still had a few pieces of jet black on her face, and she didn't know what she had rubbed on, "What are you asking us to come over, we're busy, the water in the jar is about to run dry." ”

Looking at everyone's appearance, they are somewhat sloppy, Lin Yan said: "There are many ways to make paper, and you all know it, but it is very difficult to make it." ”

"It's very difficult, and after so many days of experimentation, I can only make the coarsest straw." Bai Chen stated the facts, "I think that even if there is a process, it is not possible to copy it and use it, we don't have many things, and the process is very long." I think the next step is to refine various chemicals to lay the foundation for the future. ”

Huang Ying said: "Having said that, we don't do anything, and we don't know when we want to make paper, and now we are all waiting for paper." ”

Lin Yan: "Bai Chen is right, this is a long process. I'm so anxious. So, I wanted to start by using wood chips instead of paper. With sharp knives, it is not difficult to make all kinds of wood chips, and writing with wood chips is lighter and easier to use than stone slabs. I thought so, paper money could not be made for the time being, so I simply concentrated on the smelting of iron ore and minted coins with iron first. After passing the current level, I will slowly study papermaking. ”

The others were silent, they had too high expectations for the paper, and they were full of confidence, but the reality forced them to compromise temporarily.

Shui Sheng quickly said: "Lin Yan is right. Papermaking has encountered problems, and paper money has been implemented and cannot be delayed for too long. Replace it with something else, and then replace it when the banknote is made, which is the best solution at present. I agree with Lin Yan's approach. ”

The others hesitated for a long time, but they all nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere was gloomy, it was the first time they had encountered a big blow, and everyone felt very uncomfortable.

They finally realized Lin Yan's grievances in the face of reality at that time, but they couldn't do anything about it.

Lin Yan looked at everyone's lifeless appearance and said with a smile: "Why are you doing this expression, it's not that you don't do it, it's just a pause." Papermaking will continue to be studied, so let's first think about what the iron coins are made of and how to make the wood chips used for writing. ”

Shui Sheng immediately said: "Iron coins and paper money are of equal value, and they should be made light and small, and it is difficult to imitate." The face value is the same as the banknote. ”

"That's what I thought too." Lin Yan nodded, "Next, let's redistribute what we need to do now." ”

Ye Cong immediately answered: "You say, we listen to your arrangement." ”

The others also nodded, and they were all convinced of Lin Yan's arrangement.

"Next, we will concentrate on smelting, and strive to make all kinds of iron tools in the shortest possible time, so as to maximize the use of iron ore. Hua Min and Bai Chen were busy with their own affairs, and the rest of us and I focused on ironmaking, just to help build the smelter together. ”

"Okay." Mao Mu glanced at Lin Yan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you want to talk to the people of the arbitration tribunal about the obstruction of the implementation of banknotes, or we will accompany you." ”

"I'll do it myself." Lin Yan also thought of this, the implementation of paper money felt that it was far away, and it was indeed necessary to report to the arbitration tribunal, and to give an explanation to the people in Sun City, and to promote iron coins.

"They won't scold you, will they?" Ye Cong's little face was full of worry.

Others also reacted that this was indeed inappropriate.

The proposal to the arbitral tribunal to implement paper money has been told to everyone that it will be changed to iron money in less than a day, and it will become too fast.

Lin Yan couldn't cry or laugh, "What are you worried about, even if the banknotes can't be made now, won't they be able to do it in the future, I firmly believe that it can be done, but it just takes time." Iron coins are also temporary, and will one day be replaced by paper money. My previous proposal is not insignificant, but it is only suspended. Don't worry, everyone knows about the currency on the first day, and it doesn't hurt to change it. ”

Huang Ying volunteered: "I'll go with you." "She is Huang Ye's granddaughter, with her by her side, in case someone scolds Lin Yan, she can scold back.

"I really don't need to, go about my own business." Lin Yan waved his hand to let them go quickly, it was not a big deal, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

When I came to the school again, the crowd was still there, and it was very lively.

Lin Yan went to Ah Lan first, told her about the banknotes, asked her to gather the people of the arbitration tribunal to talk, and then explained to the people.

Ah Lan responded very happily and immediately went to find someone, she felt that it was good that Lin Yan could correct it in time, and she should correct it immediately if she found a problem.

The eighteen members of the arbitral tribunal gathered, and after listening to Lin Yan's words, their expressions were complicated, some were like Ah Lan, and some were expressionless.

Yucai immediately said: "What I said last night was so sure, and today I changed my mind, what is this treating us for." You've figured it out this time, you can make iron coins, but don't wait and change it again. ”

Shui Pozi was immediately unhappy, "Yucai, what do you mean by this, do you blame Lin Yan, she is not for the good of the tribe, if it weren't for her, can we come up with a solution?" ”

"I didn't deny her credit, but it also became too fast." Yucai just thinks it's bad to change too quickly. Especially since she has already explained the banknote to many people, how good it is, and she was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

"It's good to change in time, it's better than waiting." Ah Lan reminded him at the right time.

Seeing Ah Lan's statement, Yucai stopped talking.

Huang Ye immediately said: "Since this is the case, change the paper money to iron coins, and please explain it well." ”

"Okay, let's go." Heitu thinks that this is not a matter at all, paper money can't be made, isn't there still iron coins. Moreover, Lin Yan also said that paper money cannot be made for the time being, and it will definitely be made in the future, and he believes that she can do what she says.
