"Okay! When the time comes, will you come and choose your own line? Lu Chen looked at Cheng Yanjin and said with a smile.

While talking, several people came to the paper mill again, when they saw the paper in the paper mill, several people were shocked, they had also seen the paper mill outside, but they did not have the efficiency of Lu Chen's paper mill, plus Qu Zhao was still here in the "Ink Five", Qu Zhao had studied papermaking, and on the original basis, it had improved a lot.

Therefore, the efficiency of the entire paper mill was much higher than that designed by Lu Chen at the beginning, and several people were naturally shocked by the stacks of tall paper piles.

"Brother Xian, what are you preparing for making so much paper?" This time it was Chai Shao who asked the question, seeing this mountain of paper, everyone was also shocked, they were very clear about what these papers could represent, just this mountain of paper was used to find someone to copy the book, I don't know how many copies to copy, and this is not only so much paper, Lu Chen's paper mill can obviously produce a steady stream, which is terrible, which shows that Lu Chen can get the books out in a steady stream.

"It's definitely not for the toilet!" Lu Chen said with a smile, but as soon as he mentioned going to the toilet, Lu Chen remembered that a few days ago, he asked Qu Zhao to study the paper paper, I don't know how Qu Zhao studied, after all, he gave the other party a sample paper.

"Where's Qu Zhao?" Lu Chen looked at Cai Jing, who had already come to him, and asked.

"Qu Zhao is outside!" Cai Jing pointed in the direction of the soaking pit outside.

"Oh! Go find him, Ben Gong has something to ask him! Lu Chen looked at Cai Jing and said, Cai Jing took the order and hurriedly left the paper mill.

The effort was not big, and Qu Zhao, who was covered with a soap handkerchief, followed Cai Jing over, Qu Zhao took off the soap handkerchief he wore on his face and gave gifts to Lu Chen and several other grandfathers.

"Qu Zhao, can my father develop the paper you developed?" Lu Chen looked at Qu Zhao and asked.

"Back to Grandpa, the preliminary production has been made, but if you want to reach the level of Grandpa's master, you have to try a few more times!" Qu Zhao arched his hand and said with some guilt.

"Do you have a sample?" Lu Chen didn't mean to blame Qu Zhao, after all, if handmade papermaking can reach the level of the later assembly line, it will be a little too difficult.

"Grandpa! That's the sample! Cai Jing went to the side and took a stack of soft paper, and presented it to Lu Chen with both hands, and Lu Chen picked up one and looked at it.

The paper is a little yellowed, and the softness is obviously not as good as the toilet paper of later generations, but it is already good, Lu Chen pulled it, and it was easy to tear it apart.

"What is this paper for?" Looking at the soft paper in Lu Chen's hand, Cheng Yanjin asked curiously.

"Go to the toilet and get out of the toilet!" Lu Chen said disappreciatively.

"What?!" Hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone else was shocked, you must know that there is no toilet paper in the toilet at this time, the rich are silk, and the next person is responsible for cleaning after using it, and then the next time it is used, there are generally tiles, stones, and no matter how bad it is, it is also a tree branch or something, paper is a valuable thing in this era, and Lu Chen actually wants to use paper to go to the toilet?

"Such a precious thing, Brother Lu Xian, you actually use it to enter the toilet and get out of Gong?" Qin Qiong, Chai Shao and the others also looked at Lu Chen in surprise, and at the same time looked at the paper in Lu Chen's hand with a painful face.

"This thing is there, and this paper is of no use at all except for toilet use!" Lu Chen said and grabbed a few pieces of paper and stuffed them into the hands of Chai Shao and others, "This kind of paper will rot when it encounters water, it can't be written, what can it do if it is not used in the toilet?" Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Sure enough, extraordinary people do extraordinary things!" Qin Qiong and the others could only smile helplessly.

Lu Chen looked at the scattered paper and groaned slightly, "This texture has to be a little tighter, otherwise it will be easy to fall apart!" Lu Chen turned his head and put forward his opinion to Qu Zhao and Cai Jing.

"Yes!" Qu Zhao and Cai Jing led the way in unison, "By the way, how is the printing going?" Lu Chen looked at Cai Jing and asked, the book printing workshop is next to the paper mill, Lu Chen for convenience, Qu Zhao takes care of both sides at the same time, after all, Qu Zhao's carving skills are also good, but the best carving kung fu in the "Ink Five" is Xu Gaofeng, second only to Xu Gaofeng is Lian Ming, Lian Ming is recommended by Xu Gaofeng to Lu Chen, and Qu Zhao takes care of both sides because there are a lot of parts that need to be engraved for movable type printing, and Qu Zhao also has to go over to help from time to time.

"Back to Grandpa, I've tried to print two editions, both of which are over there in the printing shop! Lian Ming is leading people to print books! Qu Zhao reported.

"Brother Lu Xian, do you still have a printing shop?" Hearing Lu Chen mention the word "printing", everyone was surprised again, but obviously they were just surprised, and then they thought about it, Lu Chen even made so much paper, if it wasn't the whole engraving printing or something, it would be weird, so everyone was slightly surprised, after all, they had seen a lot of things that surprised them along the way, and now they have a feeling of being surprised.

"Yes!" Lu Chen responded very casually, "Let's go and have a look!" Since the printing of books in this printing workshop, the foolish brother has not yet gone to see it! Lu Chen smiled and led everyone out of the paper mill, under the leadership of Qu Zhao, everyone came to the printing workshop not far from the paper mill, the printing workshop was very valued by Lu Chen, so heavy guards were also arranged here.

As soon as these guards saw Lu Chen coming, they saluted Lu Chen, Lu Chen nodded, and led people into the printing workshop.

The printing workshop is obviously much larger than the paper mill and the glass mill, in addition to the three main rooms facing the door, there is also a wing room on the left and right, there are many craftsmen, from the wing room to the main room to carry paper, after seeing Lu Chen coming, these people have put down the paper in their hands and saluted with Lu Chen.

"Busy with you! Ben Gong and the others are just here to take a casual look, what should you do or what to do! Lu Chen waved at the group of craftsmen, and the group of craftsmen continued to work.

"Grandpa, you're here!" At this moment, Du Chengze, who heard the movement, walked out of the main room and said after giving a salute to Lu Chen and several other grandfathers.

"How's it going?" Lu Chen looked at Du Chengze and asked, after all, Liu Laosan is still in the stage of learning literacy, and the printing workshop is very important, Du Chengze, a scholar with a scholarly heirloom, is naturally in charge of the affairs of the printing workshop.

"There are two books that have already been sampled, please take a look at it!" Du Chengze reported.

"Really? Take a look! Lu Chen commanded, Du Chengze turned around and entered the back room, and with little effort, he took two bound books and walked out, and presented them to Lu Chen with both hands.

"Not bad!" Lu Chen took the book and flipped through it casually, although Lu Chen was also learning traditional Chinese characters, and he also knew a lot of traditional Chinese characters, but it was quite difficult for him to understand all of this "Enlightenment Training", so Lu Chen just pretended to flip through it.

"Brother Chai, can you help you taste it?" After Lu Chen flipped through another "Thousand Character Text", he directly handed the two books to Chai Shao.

"Huh?" As soon as Chai Shao flipped through it a little, he found that it was wrong, because the text on it was obviously smaller than the handwriting on the books in his own home, and there were also many books in Chai Shao's house, both manuscripts and engraving prints, but the handwriting printed on Lu Chen's book was not only the same size, but also the distance between the words was fixed, which was obviously different from engraving printing, which was engraved on the same board, but the spacing between the handwritings was different.

"Brother Xian, your book..."Chai Shao flipped through for a while, and looked at Lu Chen with a strange face, the other princes were also people who were both civil and military, and when Chai Shao flipped through it, they were all curious to come over to take a look, at this time, not only Chai Shao's face was weird, but several other people also had strange faces.

"Brother Xian, is your engraving craftsman so good?" Cheng Yanjin looked at Lu Chen and asked, they all said that Cheng Yanjin was born in selling smuggled salt, and he was rude and straightforward, which was just an apocryphal in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Speaking of the Tang Dynasty".

"Who said that the foolish brother is engraving here?" Lu Chen looked at a few people and said with a smile.

"Wouldn't that be the case with manual copying?" Qin Qiong also looked at Lu Chen curiously and asked.

"How many books can be printed in a day by block printing? You can print a copy at the same time, right? Lu Chen sold a pass and asked a few people directly.

Although there is no engraving and printing workshop at home, these grandfathers still know what is going on with engraving printing, so when Lu Chen asked rhetorically, they all nodded one after another, indicating that Lu Chen was not wrong.

"If the foolish brother says that I can print several books a day at the same time, and each book can print hundreds of copies, can you be trusted?" Lu Chen smiled very smugly and asked, "Of course, if there are enough people, thousands of books a day will not be a problem!" ”

"Brother Xian, although what you have here is surprising, if you say so, I'm afraid it's a bit exaggerated!" Hearing Lu Chen's words, Cheng Yanjin refuted Lu Chen very unconvinced.

"If the foolish brother can do it, you have to promise the foolish brother one thing, how about it?" Lu Chen looked at several grandfathers with disbelieving expressions, and said with a smile.

"Okay! But this can't be one of those things that defy the world! Qin Qiong directly agreed first, but still reminded Lu Chen, after all, what if Lu Chen said that he wanted a few people to help him rebel? Of course, judging from the time he spent with Lu Chen, Lu Chen had no intention of rebelling at all, but Qin Qiong still mentioned it.

"It's nature!" Lu Chen nodded, as for what it was, Lu Chen also thought of it when he heard that these fathers were going to lead those soldiers in the reserve battalion to conduct detachment exercises.
