Chapter 46: This is a great thing
"What's the use of this?" Gao Yu was so angry that he didn't know what paper was for.
"The slave heard that it was used for writing."
When Gao Yu heard this, he almost fainted. Writing? What can be written? It's like a bamboo roll, it's solid and durable.
This loser, how does his brain grow, can he be deceived by this?
Gao Yu's anger had nowhere to go, and Gao Fugui was confined again, and he couldn't go out of the room for half a month, but looking at the paper in the house, he was really worried.
"Butler, take this to the fire."
Gao Yu endured the heartache and commanded, five Yi gold, can only be reduced to a burning thing, thinking about it hurts, but helplessly, looking at this thing all day long, it hurts even more.
The next day, Gao Yu got up early due to poor sleep, and saw his subordinates rushing to the kitchen with a few bundles of paper, and his heart rose again, so he closed his eyes and took a bundle.
If you can't write, you can always use it as a cushion! But when I thought of the five Yi gold to sit on, my heart ached again.
Soon he was on duty.
Shaofu, in charge of the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas tax and manufacturing industry, these days, the people in the Shaofu Department are busy and crazy, all kinds of taxes to be counted, the manufacturing industry to be registered, and a roll of bamboo is consumed as a draft.
The recorded bamboo rolls are piled up, and the handling work has become a problem, which is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is that the bookkeeping and the like need to check the accounts from time to time, which makes the co-workers suffer, a pile of bamboo rolls are dismantled and rolled up, such work is repeated and repeated, cumbersome, and the work efficiency is lower.
This is also the reason why Gao Yu can't go home for a few days.
Recently, the above investigation has been tightened, and all those who slack off will be severely punished, so they have to be serious, but the word serious is easy to write, but the operation is not big.
They are facing all kinds of data things, and all kinds of data have to be matched, how to check the dense bamboo rolls!
Even if it can be checked, it is a large amount of bamboo rolls that are wasted, and now the top is also strictly inspected in the face of various taxes, and the price of bamboo rolls is not low.
"Gao Xie, what is that bundle of things you brought?"
Since the last tax incident, Han Shaofu has been much more active, doing everything himself, and paying closer attention to each co-ordinator.
He had seen the bundle of gray and yellow things that Gao Yu had brought early.
Gao Yu hurriedly replied: "My lord, this is an unbearable thing, the child has hoarded a lot, and his subordinates saw that it was useless, so he took a bundle to sit on." ”
"What is this? How unbearable? What is it for? Han Shaofu saw the freshness, so he asked casually.
"It's paper, a fragile thing, as if it could be written." Gao Yu said uncertainly.
"Oh! Paper? Writing? "Han Shaofu is interested, and he also knows about the recent situation of the Shaofu Department, this thing can be written, isn't it just right to come in handy?
You can't use it as a pawn, you can always use it as a draft!
"How?"
"Just write." This was told to Gao Yu by the housekeeper.
"Very good, since it's useless, you can contribute it as a draft!"
Han Shaofu said, pulled the bundle of paper alone, untied the strap, and took out a piece from it. He looked at it and felt that this thing was very strange, but since Gao Yu said that it was a useless thing, he didn't take it seriously.
Paper, grinding, pen, pen, Han Shaofu did it himself, doing the work done by the assistants.
Hey!
The moment he put pen to paper, Han Shaofu was shocked, this thing can really be written, the ink penetrates but does not expand, and the handwriting is upright and not crooked.
He used a little force, the pen was allowed to swing, but it did not break the soft thing, he narrowed the scope of writing, and he was able to write a lot of words in a small range, retracting and releasing freely, and the font was even clearer.
It seems that this is something that bamboo rolls cannot match, and it has more advantages than cloth.
Han Shaofu seemed to have discovered a new continent, his eyes lit up, and he stared at the yellowed paper tightly.
He continued to open another sheet and began to write again, this time he was deliberately serious, and the handwriting was round and round, and the effect was almost as good as that of the bamboo scroll.
Han Shaofu's expression seemed to be blooming, staring at Gao Yu and asking, "What is the price of this paper?" ”
Gao Yu didn't know why Han Shaofu asked like this, and said truthfully: "This is purchased by a child, I heard that one Qin and a half can buy two, if you buy a large number, one Qin and a half two can be three." ”
What?
Hearing this price, Han Shaofu was shocked, and the brush in his hand couldn't help but fall, seeking certainty and asking:
"One and a half two or three, is that really the case? Really? ”
"It's wonderful! Myoya! ”
Han Shaofu was very excited, and his eyes seemed to be beating.
Yes, he was excited, not blindly, but excited.
This must be a good thing, you know, the price of bamboo rolls on the market is less than a dozen Qin and a half two, and this thing is one and a half Qin and two and two spoops, the price difference is so big, and, from the perspective of the amount of writing, the same amount of the two can write the same amount of words, what is this concept? You don't have to think about it to know.
This is definitely a good thing, a good thing that can completely replace paper and cloth.
Gao Yu stared at the words written and looked at them, and after a while, he was also happy.
The writing is crisp, unhindered, the handwriting is clear and not penetrating, and there are many words, which, it seems, is not even comparable to the bamboo scroll, which is not the point.
He hurriedly folded the two pieces of paper he had written, and then folded them to the size of two thumbnails.
And what is written on a piece of paper is comparable to what is written on a bamboo scroll.
What does this mean, it means that bulky bamboo rolls can be replaced by a piece of paper, and a piece of paper can be folded and placed casually without taking up space, while bamboo rolls require a lot of space to store.
It seems that no matter how you compare, paper has an advantage, or a big advantage.
However, this object is fragile and difficult to preserve, so he said: "Wonderful is wonderful, but it is not easy to preserve." ”
Han Shaofu waved his hand and said disappreciably, "Definitely." So he spread out the two pieces of paper, and put them on top of each other, and then went elsewhere and found two boards, put them in the boards, and put them together.
"Isn't this just saved?"
Gao Yu's eyes opened when he saw it, and he said happily: "Adults are really great wisdom, so that they can be saved, and they can save the place, which is wonderful." ”
Han Shaofu smiled, and the next moment, he became serious, with a longing expression in his expression, so eager, "Where is this thing sold?" Tell me quickly. ”
Gao Yu knew what Han Shaofu was thinking, and blurted out his words: "Dongjiao paper shop." ”
"Eastern suburbs, good, good! Come on, hurry up and prepare the car, I want to buy this in large quantities. ”
Han Shaofu left, looking so impatient, as if he was afraid that he would not have to buy it if he was late.
"Bulk buying?" Gao Yu realized it later, and suddenly, the whole person became excited, and his hands and feet were trembling.
"Yes! This thing can completely replace the bamboo scroll and the like, and on the occasion of the imperial examination, it can not only become an urgent need in the court, but also a common thing for scholars, that is, this thing will definitely rise. ”
"What is great must be valuable." He thought of the key point.
"Shouldn't I go buy some too, uh-huh! Fortunately, fortunately, my son has already bought it, and it is still a large amount. ”
"Wait." Gao Yu suddenly remembered something, his face changed in shock, and he exclaimed urgently, "It's not good, don't burn, don't burn!" I'm an ancestor. ”
