Chapter 265: Paper Mill

Lu Songli looked at Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Songyun and his wife, who had not spoken.

"The second thing is that I want to build a paper mill, and I need your help."

Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Songyun were stunned, they didn't expect that there was still something about them inside?

"Second sister, this papermaking technique is the secret of the four major families, you-"

Lu Songli raised her hand, she knew what he meant, papermaking was monopolized by the four families.

The current Dali is very similar to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period she knew before, this bamboo slips and silk silk have withdrawn from the historical stage, and paper has officially become the main writing material.

Thanks to the further improvement of papermaking technology, the paper of the Dali Dynasty has a wider range of applications, and the output has also been greatly improved.

Nowadays, the more famous paper products include hemp paper, Zuobo paper, silver paper, etc., which are mastered by the four major families of Dali.

Among them, hemp paper has a moderate price, which is deeply loved by the public and is the most widely used.

Lu Songli decided to run a school, firstly, because she felt that it was very necessary, and secondly, she felt that there was a lot to be done.

Many of today's talents come from nobles, and it is difficult to produce noble sons from poor families. The use of such talents is actually very restrictive.

The noble class monopolized the dissemination of books and curbed the number of talented people in the poor family.

The children of the family valve through a lot of reading to acquire knowledge, improve their talents, and become officials, knowledge resources have become an insurmountable gap between the gate valve clan and the children of the poor family.

The second is the monopoly of papermaking technology, paper is very expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it. Reading and literacy are only affordable for rich and noble families, and ordinary people are not qualified at all.

These two aspects are the reasons why it is difficult to get a noble son from a poor family.

Lu Songli knew that if she wanted to run the academy, books were indispensable, and the price of paper had to be lowered. Otherwise, the common people will not be able to afford to go to school.

Ever since she knew that exile was inevitable, she had begun to consciously collect books, but at the moment she still didn't have enough books in her hands, not as many as those big families. Collect it slowly.

As for the price of paper, it's easy. They just run their own paper mill.

And she also has a killer feature - printing.

Engraving printing was invented in the Tang Dynasty, and movable type printing was invented in the Song Dynasty, so there was no printing in Dali.

Wait until the right time to do it.

"I can get a recipe, but you need to keep experimenting." Lu Songli said to Lu Mingzhi.

When Lu Mingzhi heard this, his eyes widened, my sister is amazing, you can get this papermaking secret recipe.

This is not a difficult thing for Lu Songli. China's four major inventions, very famous, she has also studied in depth, and has understood their development process.

"Okay, I'll take care of that! I'll experiment! "It just so happens that he is also interested.

"Big brother and sister, you are responsible for managing this paper mill, as for which of you is in charge of which piece, you can discuss it, can you?"

Lu Zhiyuan and his wife glanced at each other and agreed.

Lu Songyun hesitated, she was worried that she would not be able to do well, and she also expressed her worries.

Lu Desheng glanced at her, "If there is anything that you can't do, just learn, as long as you don't die, you will learn to die!" ”

At a glance, I knew that the little girl was deliberately pulling out a few brothers and sisters, and the eldest girl refused to try, how could the little girl pull her?

Lu Songyun was gently patted on the shoulder by her husband before responding, "That's okay, I'll try." ”

After the matter was finished, Lu Songli took a sip of tea.

Lu Desheng knew that his daughter still had something to say, so he let the other children disperse and let them ponder about the paper mill.

The eldest sister-in-law Tian stood up a little awkwardly, she glanced at Lu Songli a few times, and stopped talking a little. In the past few days, she has emotions in her heart, and she is really too cold to her little sister.

Lu Zhiyuan stepped forward and pulled her away, "Let's go." ”

Tian snorted lowly.

Lu Zhiyuan sighed in his heart, he knew why his wife was like this.

At the beginning, his wife didn't understand why his father was willing to give up the imperial doctor and go from Chang'an to Houcheng, a place where birds don't, to make a small county order. I value my little sister so much to my father, and I have thoughts in my heart.

He knew that his wife was just an ordinary woman, and she liked a stable life. Because of her father's decision, her heart is full of resistance to foreseeable difficulties, as well as uneasiness about the unknown, and it is inevitable to have emotions.

Who knows, not long after his father arrived, he was promoted.

Listening to their mother, this credit is still planned by the little sister for her father.

Now my sister has pulled them out without discrimination, who doesn't know that the paper mill is done well, and the future is immeasurable.

Lu Zhiyuan sighed in his heart, there must be a reason for his father and mother to decide to leave Chang'an, but they couldn't understand it. And no matter what kind of decisions and decisions the parents and little sister make, it didn't hurt them, and it didn't make them suffer.

He thought that in the future, they would be obedient, and even if they didn't understand the decisions and practices of their father and little sister, they would do as they were told.

"Your sister-in-lawβ€”"

"Dad, don't talk about this." Regarding the sister-in-law's little emotions and awkwardness, Lu Songli didn't care much.

They are her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and they still have to be pulled, not because of her great heart or anything, but as a leader, you have to pay attention to the ways and means.

As the saying goes, buy a pig to see the pen. Followers, as well as those who intend to follow, will observe how the leader treats their relatives and subordinates before deciding to follow you. If the leader is too harsh and unkind, it is not a good reputation.

Lu Desheng's open-mindedness towards the little girl is so satisfied that he couldn't be more satisfied.

"Dad, your son-in-law has sent news that he has brought down the Black Wind Village in the southeast of Houcheng for you. Are you happy to hear this? ”

"So fast?" His son-in-law still seems to have some strengths.

"Yes, they're escorting people over at the moment. Dad, you have to let someone vacate the county jail. ”

Lu Desheng nodded, "How's the harvest?" ”

Lu Songli smiled and said, "I heard that it's good. ”

"That's fine. In this way, after the property looted by the thieves is settled, they will be sent to their sons-in-law as a reward. The remaining eighty percent were all charged into the county government treasury. ”

"Okay." It's okay to give 20%, now that her father is the county guard of Liaodong County, there are more places to spend money, otherwise she will be willing to give more.
