The usual holidays have been saved, and in order to celebrate the New Year, Wang Zhen took a long vacation of half a month at once, and Wang Zhen wanted to return to the forest farm.

Saying goodbye to his wife and children, at the grocery store, he saw a pile of papyrus, thought about it, bought some, joined the salute, and took the railway to the Tianjin wharf.

At the wharf in Tianjin, he found a boat to go to Lushunkou in Jinzhou, and on the sea, Wang Zhen thought about whether to take his wife and children to live in the forest farm.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Zhen gave up this idea, and his son still wants to study in Beiping.

The Daxing paper mill, combined with many technologies, adopted a technology for making straw paper, which came from the Tang Dynasty.

The year has passed, all factories are in the palm of their hands, Zhu Di patrols the guards, preparing for the spring military training, and Zhu Gaochi inspects the 100 factories.

"The selection of straw paper is made of wheat straw, bundled into small bundles of about three catties, cut off, added to three percent of lime water, dissolved and stirred into mortar."

In the slurry pool workshop, there is a smell on the face, and countless pools are full of slurry, which looks unbearable to witness.

The director of the manufacturing plant introduced to everyone with a discolored face.

Zhou Shifeng organized a team to prepare for going to Shaanxi and Shanxi, so he did not join it, and was accompanied by other shopkeepers.

Soon, people left the pulp pond workshop and moved on to other workshops.

"This kind of straw paper technology from the Tang Dynasty has three times the cost savings compared with the rest of the technology, and the ingredients are not restricted, and can be matched more, which is extremely convenient and has a high output." The director said excitedly.

"It's interesting to buy straws from the people and make them into straw paper to buy back to the people."

The steward of the outer cabinet said with a smile.

It didn't turn out to be funny, no one paid attention to him, but because he was a member of the outer cabinet, the rest of the people didn't despise him.

The production and distribution model is not a new word in the headquarters, and many people have their own cognition and do so.

However, the director of the paper mill did not look good.

Paper mills in the China Heavy Industry system, it seems that there is not enough attention, because it cannot create external benefits.

Paper sales are mostly used for internal procurement, and it can be said that any factory is upstream of the paper mill, including the printing plant.

When he was in the factory director's meeting, he couldn't stand up at the waist.

The production goal of the paper mill is not to focus on the best rice paper, but to aim for the best cost-effective paper.

I finally came up with the idea of straw paper, creating external profits through the thatched house, but I didn't expect it to be used by people to make fun of it in front of the little prince.

It's a hell if he can have a good face, if it weren't for the presence of the little prince, he would have scolded him a long time ago.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and took the initiative to say: "Don't underestimate this straw paper, once it breaks through the sales port, the benefits should not be underestimated." ”

Everyone said yes again and again.

"In the Tang and Song dynasties, the amount of straw paper was very large, and the Arabs and Persians who came to the Tang Dynasty to do business had a situation about the use of straw paper by the Tang Dynasty."

It's the first time people have heard this statement, and whether it's for sycophancy or genuine curiosity, they have pricked up their ears.

"In the fifth year of Tang Xuanzong's junior high school, the Arabs recorded that the Chinese did not pay attention to cleanliness, and did not wash their stool with water, but only wiped it with paper."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "It can be seen that the people of the Tang Dynasty used straw paper to wipe their buttocks, which is already a well-known thing at home and abroad. ”

People have mixed faces.

Is it scolding, or scolding, it's good that the little prince is not here.

"Okay, you don't have to care, why be angry with yourself for other people's ignorance, these ignorant natives, and later they also used poop paper and slapped themselves in the face."

"The wise will never be angry at the actions of the ignorant, but will only take advantage of the ignorance of the other party, we must be generous and let others continue to be ignorant."

"What the little prince said is very true." Someone exclaimed.

Zhu Gaochi saw all the samples of straw paper and hemp paper produced by the paper mill.

The thickness of hemp paper produced by Tang Dynasty technology is probably between 0.05 mm and 0.14 mm, which is more than twice the thickness of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Don't underestimate this difference, it is important to know that by the 18th century, Europeans could not make as thin as the Tang Dynasty.

Leaving the paper mill, Zhu Gaochi threw out a question in the technical report.

What is called paper?

"What is paper?"

"What's the problem, isn't paper just paper?"

"Paper is the four treasures of the study, for more than 1,000 years, written by the ancestors, and then used for printing, so that the Ming Dynasty from the capital to the locality, the rise of various public and private schools, the increase in literacy, the progress of culture, compared with the Qin and Han dynasties, increased at an increasing rate."

"What can be used for drawing and writing is called paper."

"Not only writing and painting, but also can be used to produce goods, paper fans, paper umbrellas, paper lamps, paper figures, paper cars, etc."

……

"Paper is a sheet made of rags, wood pulp, or other materials that is used for writing, printing, and making goods."

A craftsman from a paper mill wrote.

"Paper is basically an object made of plants that is basically processed and formed through a special process."

Artisans from the R&D Division.

"Formed by fishing from a water suspension on a curtain, a thin sheet of felt formed by intersecting plant filaments." Xiao Jiu said.

For the question of what is called paper, from the absurdity at the beginning, to the heated discussion of some people, and even to the beginning of arguments, even to the point of quarreling.

Some people even said that writing on sand with a wooden stick can also be called paper, which was opposed by most people.

The fourth issue of the Technical Bulletin, which is ten times thicker than before, contains dozens of opinions and opinions against the contents of the third issue.

The fame of the technical newspaper is getting bigger and bigger, and some officials are interested and put forward a request to China Heavy Industries, hoping to read the technical newspaper.

It was agreed that a separate date would be selected at Headquarters and that the newspaper room would be opened on schedule and that officials would be allowed to watch it, but it was said that it would be kept secret and that the technology should not be disseminated.

The supervision of confidentiality is not strong, mainly depends on people's consciousness, and the factory only plays an advocacy role.

Su Guan returned to Northeast Tai Village, looking at the shadow of the old yamen in the past, and the new scene made him sigh.

In the distance, you can see a tall water tower, as well as a bell tower.

The bell tower is surrounded by large bells, with hour and minute hands, so that you can clearly see the time, and every hour, the bell tower will make a ringing sound.

Factories are connected by straight and hard roads, and outside the factory area is a market area.

There are also vendors doing business during the day, and in the evening when the market is at its busiest, there is a street with lampposts built on the streets, and kerosene lamps stand on the lampposts.

China Heavy Industry, which has deep pockets, actually used a glass cover, which shocked the first person who saw it.

The village of Northeast Taiwan has also changed dramatically.

The bridge where the iron slag had accumulated was gone, and the ditch was filled in directly, and a new ditch was dug next to it to bring in the water.

The original house has long been requisitioned by China Heavy Industries, and all of them are used to build dormitories or new factories.

Iron Pipe Factory, Railway Rail Factory, Foundry, Fertilizer Factory, Coke Refining Plant No. 1, Coke Refining Plant No. 2...... Glass factory, agricultural tool factory, coal preparation plant, coal washing plant, cement plant, lime plant, miscellaneous ore refinery, miscellaneous ore sorting plant......

Su Guan couldn't tell the direction anymore, and he couldn't even find where the steam engine factory was.

"It's amazing."

"It's really an eye-opener, it turns out that this is called a factory, I thought it was just connecting the workshops."

Some officials sighed.

"No wonder the influence of China Heavy Industry has become bigger unconsciously, and I still wonder why the health institute is very polite to China Heavy Industry."

A new official said in shock.

The headquarters of Chunghwa Heavy Industries is located on the east side of the bell tower, a five-story hollow-shaped building made of cement, reinforced masonry, and stone.

The windows on each floor are glazed and dazzle in the sunlight.

In the open space in front of the building, there is a construction site, there is a model skeleton tied up with iron, which is very strange.

"What is this doing?"

"The logo of the headquarters, the swallow designed by the engineering department." The clerks in the clerical room had already greeted these officials at Daxing Station and introduced them to everyone all the way.

"It's not like a swallow." The official asked curiously.

"It's not built yet, it's a semi-finished product, and when it's finished, you can recognize it at a glance." The clerk has seen the design pattern.

"When you say that, it looks a little bit like that."

The big shopkeeper Zhou Shifeng led the team to set off, accompanied by the officials of the Changshi Mansion, Jin Zhong as the envoy, and the group went to Shanxi.

Because it was the first reception, the person in charge of the reception was Gao Changfang, who accompanied everyone to visit first, and then went to the newspaper room.

There are newspapers from the first to the fifth issue in the newspaper room, and there are hundreds of pages together, and it is not possible to read them all at once.

The officials who came here were interested in miscellaneous studies, and the purpose of coming was to read newspapers, so they didn't care about reception.

When they arrived at the newspaper room, there were tables and chairs, tea, and a toilet next door, and everyone first looked at the contents of the newspaper.

There were all kinds of newspapers, and they quickly attracted the interest of these officials, and they read with relish.

"What is paper?" An official read out curiously.

From the third issue onwards, there has been a large increase in the content around what is called paper, and it can be said that it occupies one-third of the content.

There are more than 100 pages on what paper is.

"I really didn't expect that this kind of question would cause so much ink and ink that it is difficult to make a judgment."

The more I looked at it, the more fascinated I became, and the official thought about it carefully, and couldn't give an answer for a while.

It's something that can be seen every day, and everyone knows what it is, but it can't be accurately described.

"I'll take a look." Seeing this, an official came over curiously, and soon the man was surprised: "What is written here?" ”

"You have to start reading from here, or you won't know what they're talking about." The officer pointed to the initial question.

"What is paper?"

It dawned on the man.

"From the point of view of qi, in terms of the theory of the five elements, paper belongs to ......"

"This one makes sense."

"What's the truth, I haven't seen anyone refute it, so you have to describe it specifically, don't make false accusations."

"The virtual finger also makes sense, do you deny the theory of the five elements?"

In the newspaper room, these officials also started an argument on their own.

Soon.

The sixth issue of the technical newspaper threw out new questions, whether the truth is becoming clearer and clearer the more it is debated.
