The most important reason why bamboo paper is cheap is that the raw materials are sufficient, the bamboo grows fast, and it can grow forever in the south in all seasons, and it is inexhaustible.

Making paper from bamboo is roughly divided into six steps: chopping bamboo and drifting the pond, boiling the fire, licking the mortar, swinging the material into the curtain, covering the curtain and pressing the paper, and drying through the fire.

Put the newly chopped young bamboo into the pond and soak it for more than 100 days, separate and wash off the green skin of the bamboo.

Put the bamboo into the "楐" barrel and cook it with lime water for eight days and nights, and then take it out and rinse it, so that it is repeated many times, and the coarse material can be used after about 20 days.

Then put the bamboo into a stone mortar and pound it into a fine mud with a stone cucumber, and only take the fiber.

Pour the broken bamboo material into the water trough, and swing the material in the water with the bamboo curtain, swing the pulp on the bamboo curtain in the trough, the bamboo material becomes a thin layer attached to the bamboo curtain, and the rest of the water flows out from the four sides of the bamboo curtain, this step is the most difficult, the material is too thin to use, too thick and inappropriate, waste.

Then the bamboo curtain is repeated to make the wet paper fall on the board, that is, the paper.

Repeat the process of sprinkling and covering the curtains, so that thousands of sheets of wet paper are stacked, and then a wooden board is added to the top to squeeze out most of the water.

Raise the wet paper one by one and dry it. The place where the baked paper is located is to build an alley with adobe bricks, and a fire is lit in the alley, and after the temperature of the adobe bricks rises, the wet paper is pasted and dried one by one.

After drying, it is lifted to form paper.

Only in this way, the bamboo paper produced is excellent in toughness, durability, thickness, luster and color, and is by no means inferior to green rattan paper.

If the price of paper is no longer expensive, the entry officials in various places can make more detailed records of local affairs, which will be of great help to the imperial court to grasp the local people's feelings.

At the same time, the cost of printing books, whether official or private, will be greatly reduced. Ordinary people can also afford books to read, and ordinary families can also afford paper for children to learn to read from an early age.

At that time, everyone in the Jingyuan Dynasty could read, everyone could write, and everyone could write articles. The common people can afford to read and read, and the whole dynasty naturally has a wide range of wisdom and prosperity.

Shao Xi thought that in this way, with a large amount of cheap paper, and the efficiency of printing was improved, there would be a stable sales channel after a large number of books were printed, that is, the opening of bookstores to sell books publicly.

Papermaking, printing, and book sales are a one-stop business, and it is indeed difficult for Shao Xi to be busy alone.

Thinking of this, Shao Xi told Bai Jinqing and the others his thoughts.

When several people heard that Shao Xi had another idea to make bamboo paper, and that he would also make paper, print, and sell books at the same time, they were all excited and willing to participate in it.

However, a few people hesitated about such a large business, which required a huge amount of money, and they did not know where to find the money.

Shao Xi took care of this matter, he would provide the funds and technology, and Bai Jinqing and the others were only responsible for the preparation and daily supervision and management, and they could be divided according to the proportion of income at the end of each month.

Of course, the authors of the published articles also receive a percentage of the monthly manuscript fee. In this way, all the articles written by the people in the world will be rewarded accordingly, and the writing of books and essays will be more motivated, not just by enthusiasm.

Hu Yushan was the most excited among several people, and he has always regarded Bai Dinggong as a model for many years, vowing to work for the welfare of the people of the world. Now that he hears that what Shao Xi is doing coincides with his own ambition, he is even more willing to devote himself to this matter.

I saw him take Shao Xi's hand and say movingly: "Brother Shao! Do you know that what you are doing today is an act that will affect the world and spread the righteousness of the world? Brother, I have read the books of sages for many years, and I was determined to devote my life to learning for the people of the world, but now it is not as good as Brother Shao. From now on, Brother Shao has been instructed to just speak, this merit is in the present day, and I must participate in the matter of the future, if this matter can be done, although the brother has no regrets in death! ”

Shao Xi didn't expect that such a thing would make him so excited.

Hurriedly reassured: "Brother Yushan is serious, I didn't think about this matter so much, I just think that this business is profitable." However, since it is a matter of benefiting others and self-interest, of course, it is more interesting to do, and in the future, there will be a lot of hard work for a few brothers, which is not only beneficial to the world, but also you and my brothers have money to earn, which is the best of both worlds! ”

Except for Bai Jinqing, although the other people present are not the sons of a poor family, they are all from average families. Over the years, in order to provide a few people with education, their families have also cut down on food and clothing, just hoping that a few people will be able to be named on the gold list in the future and become famous.

Now that a few people are following Shao Xi like this, not only do they not have to spend money on studying, but they have a lot of money to earn, which is a great thing, how can a few people not feel happy?

At this time, Bai Jinqing also said excitedly: "I will definitely tell my grandfather about this matter when I go back, and he will be very happy if he knows." I don't think there is so much trouble in this matter, just set up this paper workshop and printing room in the academy, and in the future, I will open a bookstore in the name of Egret Academy, which will be called Egret Bookstore, what do you think, Brother Shao? ”

Shao Xi clapped his hands, "That's very good!" I don't have to go so far to find a place to go around, so I'll leave this matter to Jinqing! As for the manpower and materials, they are all wrapped up in me, and in the future, when the bookstore opens, I think the fame of our Egret Academy may not be limited to this Central Plains. ”

In the face of such a plan to get rich, everyone present was excited, gearing up, and eager to start preparing for this matter immediately.

In this way, a few confidants and friends decided in the private room of Mochizuki Tower that this is enough to change the fate of tens of millions of people in the world, enough to go down in history and be praised for all generations.

As a traverser, Shao Xi once complained about why he didn't have his own system or a golden finger as written in the online article, but now his mind has changed.

What is a system? What is Goldfinger? Aren't the theoretical knowledge and practical experience left by his predecessors brought from modern society his system and golden finger?

I am indeed an ordinary person, but after coming to this world, I can use the knowledge and technology I have mastered to benefit others and benefit myself, which is not just a proof of the value of my existence?

There's more to do here than you can do as a small security guard in the real world, and that's enough.

Thinking about it at this time, maybe it's not that the era is not suitable for you, but whether you can adapt to a certain era.

At the moment, it seems that he is better able to adapt to the current era. The chagrin and anxiety he had when he just crossed over are now gone, and now he is full of enthusiasm for this world, because no matter what identity he exists here, at least he has relatives around him, friends, and more things worth caring about.

After a few people left the Moon Tower after they were full of wine and food, Bai Jinqing couldn't wait, and now he had to go back to the academy to inform the two masters of the great news.

So Bai Jinqing, Hu Yushan and others said goodbye and left first, and agreed to take Liu Ling to Shuangxue Tower to find Shao Xi to visit the lantern festival after nightfall.

Looking at Bai Jinqing and the others leaving in a hurry, Shao Xi turned his head and looked at the various lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, as well as the pedestrians who came and went, their faces full of joy, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

The days have passed so fast, it has been eleven years in the blink of an eye, and now I have become an authentic ancient person.

Although the previous memories are still there, for some reason, it seems to be becoming more and more blurred, but the world in front of me is becoming clearer and clearer in my eyes.

Shao Xi sometimes doubts more and more that he is from the original world, is it really his home? Why does this once strange world in front of you feel more intimate now?

Is the original world not suitable for you, or is it not suitable for the original world? Do you belong to that world, or to the world you belong to?

If there was a chance to go back now, what would I choose? Do you go back and do that little security guard again, or do you want to stay in this place full of crises and challenges?

Shao Xi asked himself, does he really want to go back? Probably not. He loved it because it had everything he longed for, everything he had lost, and he had nothing left in the original world.

All of a sudden, he thought he was funny, how could he think of something useless? There are still a lot of things in front of me that have not been solved, and I still have time here to worry about whether to return to the original world!

After getting into the carriage, he told the coachman not to be in a hurry and to walk slowly.

He wanted to sit in the car and take a good look at the scenery along the way, although the streets were full of lanterns and crowds at this time, but in his eyes, this is the fireworks in the world, this is what a world full of warmth should look like, this is the real world.

Compared with the once full of iron cars and the crowd with smirks on their faces, the smell of fireworks in the world in front of him, the aroma from the roadside food stalls, and the simple and sincere smiles on people's faces made Shao Xi feel more cordial and natural.

In this way, while looking at the scenery and thinking about the mess along the way, I finally returned to the Frost and Snow Building.

As soon as Shao Xi got off the carriage, he saw Liu Fu, who was guarding the door, trotting all the way to him, and he was still wondering in his heart, what did a housekeeper do when he didn't stay at home and ran to the door?

"Childe, you're finally back. Long Sizhi of Dali Temple has been here for a long time, has been waiting for you inside, it seems that there is a very urgent matter to find you, the villain does not dare to ask more, can only wait at the door for you to come back. ”

"Oh? How long has Brother Long been here? ”

"Back to Childe, I've been here for nearly half an hour, I look very anxious, it seems that something big has happened, I've been asking Childe when I'll come back, Childe, you better go in and have a look!"

Shao Xi felt a "chuckle" in his heart, and faintly had an ominous premonition.

Long Qitai came so urgently, there must be something happening in Dali Temple, and this matter must be related to himself.

Now there is only one thing related to oneself in Dali Temple - Wuriyati!
