Great item!

Another big project!

After listening to the conversation between Jiang Hua and the Carp King, Feng Qingyang knew that this was another big and amazing project!

With Jiang Hua's order, the cabinet members began their work. As a cabinet member, you can often get some information at the first time, so now, every cabinet member has to sign a deed before entering the cabinet. But even so, going to the cabinet has become the best choice for many young talents.

Along with the cabinet's actions, a new issue of the Yancheng official newspaper was also issued as scheduled three days later.

Today's Yancheng official newspaper has set a release date, which will be issued every three days. Slowly, every day of release, it will attract a lot of attention. In the future, as the literacy rate in Yancheng rises, the frequency of issuance may also increase, and it is foreseeable that it will be issued once a day.

Originally, after discussion, the cabinet members thought that the sea-related project would be the top brand of the next issue of the newspaper, the most iconic news, but they never expected that the next day they learned another big news!

On the second day, Jiang Hua came directly to a paper mill.

Previously, the carrier used by Yancheng's official newspaper was not paper but silk cloth, which was still of good quality.

The printing method is not the imaginary movable type printing, but the offset printing.

At that time, the printing process was as follows: the cabinet members personally determined the content of the Yancheng official newspaper, and after deliberation, they made a first draft and showed it to Jiang Hua and the county town to read.

When Jiang Hua and Jun Chengyu have completed the review and feel that there is no problem, they can prepare for large-scale printing.

When printing on a large scale, the Taoists would cast spells directly, sometimes using earth-moving spells to transform the slates. They are all high-quality slates with full brushes, there is no unevenness at all, not a single pockmark, and they are very smooth to the touch.

Using the smooth slate that has been transformed by the Dao method as the raw material, the earth path method is used again, and the surface of the stone slab is changed by using the earth aura, so that one yin text after another appears.

After getting the Yin Slate, he directly splashed special ink on it, and then took the ink-stained Yin Slate and printed it on the silk cloth that had been prepared a long time ago, and every time it was printed, a Yancheng official newspaper appeared.

With the Dao method, making stone tablets is easy and inexpensive, and any warlock can quickly complete these things. As a result, movable type printing has not been spread so far, and multi-type printing is more popular.

But silk cloth is such a thing, in this day and age, it is money!

In most places, silk cloth is equivalent to money and can be spent directly as money.

It's okay to print with silk cloth once in a while, and printing with silk cloth all the time is pure money burning. Although Yancheng is not short of this money, and the publicity effect is far greater than the cost, it is obviously impossible to enter the homes of ordinary people with such a high cost.

As for the more expensive Taoist version of the Yancheng official newspaper, the output is less, and the price is even higher and outrageous, so ordinary people can just look at the silk version of the official newspaper, and there is no need to force the official newspaper of the magic weapon.

However, the official newspaper of the Dharma version also has significant advantages, the silk version can only be seen, and after the magic version is input mana, it can be automatically read, there is a sound, and there is a projection!

Walking and walking, Jiang Hua came to this paper mill.

Looking at this paper mill, Jiang Hua remembered the ins and outs of the paper mill.

Paper, Jiang Hua has wanted to get it out for a long time, but unfortunately, although Jiang Hua was also a science student and a researcher in his previous life, he was not good at papermaking, and he did not understand this knowledge.

His knowledge of papermaking was limited to the fact that it could be made from fishing nets, rags, and bamboo.

But how to use these raw materials to get paper, Jiang Hua is not clear, only remember that the ancients could also make paper, which shows that papermaking itself will not be so complicated that it cannot be done.

However, at that time, Yancheng's strength was still weak, so he could only let a few interested warlocks study it with dozens of alchemists.

Later, after Gongzi Yangsheng's guy became the big Sima, he maintained a tacit understanding with Yancheng, and Yancheng had plenty of time to develop.

What's more, at that time, there were also Taoists from all over the world, and there were more Taoists all of a sudden, so Jiang Hua sent another Taoist priest to preside over this matter at that time.

Now, another four months have passed, and we finally have the results that we can get our hands on.

"Doctor Qiuyang has seen the Great Sacrifice Wine!"

Jiang Hua nodded slightly, and the specific information of this Dr. Qiuyang immediately appeared in his mind.

Doctor Qiuyang, the position is Doctor Xuegong, the Taoist number is Qiuyang, from the Liu family of one hundred and seventy-three, he is two hundred and fifty-six years old this year, he is an older Taoist priest, and his qualifications are in the group of Taoist priests.

When I'm older, I don't have so many thoughts, I don't like fantasies as much as young Taoist priests, maybe I have been beaten a lot, and I am meticulous when I carry out orders.

"Good work, Dr. Akiyo."

"It's not hard, the minister is actually not the hardest, the hardest is the rain teaching."

Jiang Yu is Jiang Hua's same clan, but he has already been out of the five suits, but he is also a member of the clan.

As a member of the clan, it's good not to bully others, how can you be bullied by others. Therefore, Dr. Qiuyang did not have the idea of coveting Jiang Yu's merits.

"Before the arrival of the minister, the rain sect had already produced the original version of the paper."

Jiang Hua nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

"It's true that paper was already made at that time, but the cost was higher, and the quality was poor, and the storage time was far inferior to that of bamboo slips, and it wouldn't take long for it to rot."

Not to mention this kind of original paper, even if it is a textbook of later generations, repeated reading, from the first year of high school to the third year of high school, can also turn a new book that was originally relatively thin into a thicker one, and there is obvious swelling.

From new books to old books, the books themselves have become noticeably thicker.

And the original paper made by Jiang Yu at that time, if it was really made into a book, it is estimated that it would be completely rotten after turning it one hundred and eighty times.

"After the arrival of the minister, the rain sect had no reservations about the minister, and the minister only knew more about the Taoism, and optimized the papermaking process from the perspective of magic."

Speaking of which, Dr. Qiuyang took Jiang Hua and others to visit the papermaking process today.

"In the past, the first step was to cut off the bamboo, soak it in the pond for more than 100 days, and wash off the green skin of the bamboo."

"Now this step is directly replaced by the Taoist method, the water in this pool is configured with turbid water, and the bamboo is placed in it, and it only takes one day to soak it."

"In the past, the second step is ......"

"Finally, the drying method is carried out directly."

"For the sake of convenience and to improve efficiency, the minister directly built a drying room, and a large number of patterns were used on the periphery of the whole house, and several Fangshi were required to maintain it every day to ensure the operation of the drying room, but the efficiency was greatly improved."

"Now, with the Tao method, it only takes two days to go from bamboo to the final product."

"It is precisely because the time of each test is much shorter than in the past that Chen was able to conduct thousands of tests with different raw materials in just four months, and it is with the data of these thousands of tests that today's papermaking process is possible."

"Frankly speaking, Chen didn't deliberately invent anything, Chen just used the Taoist method to simulate the entire papermaking process, shorten the papermaking time, and increase the frequency of papermaking experiments."

"Then, the minister is to lead his colleagues to carry out experiments again and again, these experiments themselves are actually very boring, but these boring, inconspicuous experimental processes contain a lot of secrets, and after understanding these secrets, it is much more convenient to go to papermaking."

Looking at Dr. Qiuyang, who was humble and didn't feel that he had any credit, Jiang Hua was satisfied in his heart.

Although Dr. Qiuyang always said that he had not actually done anything and had not done any innovative work, in fact, his mode of thinking had already led many stubborn conservative Taoists. If he can, Jiang Hua plans to add a burden to him in the future.

How can this kind of talent not have many years to live because he can't break through in his cultivation?

This kind of talent should quickly find an opportunity to become a feather man, and then live for thousands of years, and honestly be the project leader for himself!

Walking and walking, he came to the end, Jiang Hua personally picked up a piece of paper that had just been made, rubbed his two fingers for a while, and felt okay.

"You're all going to come and see."

With Jiang Hua's greeting, Feng Yi walked over, picked up a few pieces of paper from the scene, and handed them to other colleagues while observing them himself.

"Dr. Qiuyang, can I ask you a few questions?" After a moment, Feng Yi asked directly.

Looking at the meticulous Fengyi, Dr. Qiuyang remembered a lot of legends about Fengyi: Well, most of these legends related to Fengyi are not good words.

Some people say that Fengyi is shameless, and he doesn't do anything just by taking benefits!

Some people say that Fengyi is not good, he is obviously from a hundred and seventy-three family but he doesn't do things for the big guys, since he became a member of the cabinet, he feels superior, and he doesn't care if you invite him to dinner!

Others say that Fengyi is a thick-faced and black-hearted person, a guy who can spit on his face, and the city is very deep.

In short, when facing Jiang Hua, the sovereign, Dr. Qiuyang was not nervous at all, and felt that Jiang Hua's smile was very infectious. But at this moment, looking at Fengyi with a straight face, he was suddenly shocked.

There are a lot of Taoists who were caught by Fengyi and sent away!

Dr. Qiuyang coughed, and after making sure that he was not corrupt or doing anything unseemly, he nodded: "No problem, you ask." ”

"Dr. Qiuyang, how much does this paper cost?"

"It depends on how you define the cost itself."

"In the past, almost every Taoist and Chinese person was good at chopping bamboo, burning bamboo, making bamboo slips, and eventually leaving a bamboo book."

"At that time, almost every Taoist and Chinese with academic experience had made a lot of bamboo books by hand."

The bamboo slips made in the market are too expensive, so it is better to go to the bamboo forest to find bamboo, cut bamboo, burn bamboo, make bamboo slips, and write bamboo books.

"If you include the time and effort spent by the Taoists themselves in the past......

When he said this, Dr. Qiuyang began to think, and he was not too nervous.

"For example, a monk may have been able to make a thousand words of bamboo slips in a day in the past, but now he can earn at least a few hundred dollars a day if he goes to work in the school palace or goes to a township to help the township work in the farmland. If he was going to draw talismans this day, then maybe he would have at least a thousand dollars of income that day. ”

"Such a thread-bound book, a total of fifty pages thick, if the pure record text on each page, using engraving printing, can leave at least 300 words or a picture, just such a thread-bound book, can hold three copies of Li Sheng's Tao Te Ching."

Many people do not have a clear understanding of the number of words in the Tao Te Ching.

They always feel that the Tao Te Ching is only 5,000 words in total, and the number of words is too few!

However, in the era of bamboo slips and bamboo books, the five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching and ten volumes of bamboo slips were not necessarily written.

And ten rolls of bamboo slips can already fill a desk.

Huanghuang's 5,000 words, in the era of bamboo slips, is already a real tome-level work!

"Just such a book can record the content of three Tao Te Ching!"

"Many Huang-level Dao methods, in the past, were just a bamboo slip. In this book, a single page can record a Zodiacal Dao method, and it can also be accompanied by pictures and explanations. ”

"With the progress of our engraving technology and the improvement of paper quality, there may be 500, 800 or even 1,000 words in a page of a book in the future!"

"And once it is mass-produced, the price of such a book, from the cost of paper plus the cost of ink plus engraving plus everything else, is only a few dozen dollars for a book." Speaking of this, Dr. Qiuyang's face was full of happiness.

He felt like he was ushering in a new era like never before!

"In the past, books were priceless, and an elderly bamboo slip could easily sell for thousands of dollars as long as you were willing to sell it."

"A bamboo slip used for enlightenment can be sold for at least a thousand yuan."

"And such a book, there are at least ten or even thirty or fifty bamboo slips in it, but the cost is only thirty or fifty yuan, and the cost may be further reduced in the future, to one or twenty yuan."

"Once the books are rolled out on a large scale, it may be possible for every child to have a book of their own, instead of the current situation where many classes only have a set of bamboo slip textbooks. Many times, children can only hold bamboo and write and draw on the ground. ”

"Oh, by the way, it's good that someone invented the chalkboard and chalk, otherwise, it would have been even more difficult......"

"It won't be long before everyone in the school palace will be able to have their own books!"

"It won't be long before every household in Yancheng can have their own books!"

"It's all thanks to the Lord!"

"If it weren't for the lord, where would there be today's paper?"

"Just for this paper, the sovereign's cultural and educational achievements are few or even unmatched!"

"This, in fact, is also the inspiration of the Tao into life, on behalf of the people in the world who want to study but can't, thank you!"
