Gou Fugui took Ruan Yubai to see the semi-mechanized papermaking assembly line plant of the paper mill, and after Ruan Yubai gradually accepted all kinds of novel and powerful mechanical equipment, he took Ruan Yubai to another plant of the paper mill.

As soon as he entered this factory, Ruan Yubai was shocked.

Boxes of incomparably white paper were piled up.

These papers alone, if circulated on the market, are conservatively estimated to sell for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

At this moment, so much paper is quietly placed in this factory, which is constantly consumed.

What consumes them is two rows of combination machines spliced together by various machines, which look spectacular and are constantly in motion.

This kind of combination of machinery, Ruan Yubai remembers, Gou Fugui called it an assembly line.

A huge pile of paper is constantly being fed into the front end of this assembly line.

Ruan Yubai watched as the assembly line was controlled by a worker, printing the pile of paper on a magical wheel, and then cutting and binding it with a sharp machine.

By the time the paper came down from the assembly line, it had become an extremely beautiful and concise book.

The whole speed was faster than Ruan Yubai imagined.

After Ruan Yubai was shocked, he immediately came to the end of the assembly line, "Xianggong, can I read these books?"

Gou Fugui smiled and said, "Of course you can, otherwise what will I bring you here for?"

Ruan Yubai immediately picked up one of the newly printed books that had just been produced on the assembly line and observed it carefully.

Under this observation, Ruan Yubai found that this book is completely different from all kinds of books seen in the world, with a strange sense of neatness, all the words are so neatly arranged, clearly spaced, the font is unified and clear, and the reading experience is excellent.

Even the ink fragrance has an attractive taste, which makes it stand out from the rest.

Ruan Yubai was obsessed with the uniqueness of the book, and began to read the content of the book and found that it was a textbook.

A Chinese textbook.

The content in the textbook is very ordinary and simple articles and poems.

Ruan Yubai felt at first that the content of such a beautiful and neat book was so simple and straightforward that it was a bit shallow, and it was too wasteful of this book.

But she soon realized the significance of the book.

This is a Chinese textbook that all students use to learn literacy in the university town.

In this way, the content in the textbook needs to be so simple and straightforward in order to have the best teaching and learning effect.

"Xianggong, did you write this textbook yourself?"

After Ruan Yubai understood the extraordinaryness of this textbook, he couldn't help but ask.

In her heart, she inevitably had some admiration for Gou Fugui.

The unphased son is really unparalleled in the world!

Fortunately, such a phaseless son is her husband.

Gou Fugui smiled and shook his head, "I just gave the guidelines and the final check, and the specific compilation was carried out by the teachers of the school." ”

Ruan Yubai nodded understandingly.

With the talent of the fair, you must not do everything yourself, you only need to give guidance and supervision, you can do things well, in order to have the time and energy to do more things.

"By the way, Xianggong, you've done so much, is there anything wrong with your body? I'll go back and send you a batch of extraordinary medicinal herbs again. ”

Ruan Yubai thought of this and asked with great concern.

Gou Fugui's heart was warm, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry, my body is good."

As for the transcendent medicinal materials, this one is not in a hurry.

When you are familiar with Wuxiangmen and Wangshan City, when we talk about business, we will do all the business that can be done, including the business of Wuxiangmen to purchase extraordinary medicinal materials from Linjiang Pavilion. ”

Ruan Yubai was relieved, thought for a while, and said, "Xianggong, how much does such a book cost?"

Gou Fugui smiled and said, "Baiwen." ”

Ruan Yubai was shocked, but immediately relieved.

Whether it is the manufacture of paper or the printing and production of books, it is extremely fast and efficient, and the cost is naturally not as expensive as normal books.

What's more, this is still a basic education textbook, and the price will naturally not be high.

Such a book, if the content of this book is replaced with Journey to the West, or the rest of the best-selling poems and songs, it can be sold for at least three taels of silver in Linjiang City.

Buyers will rush to buy, and demand exceeds supply.

If it is more beautifully packaged, there are people rushing to buy ten taels of silver.

"Xianggong, I have decided, immediately send a letter to Linjiang City, give it to the bookstore owner, and ask him to prepare manpower and materials, and come to Wangshan City to open a branch of Linjiang Bookstore. ”

Ruan Yubai put down the book in his hand with some reluctance, looked at the assembly line of the printing and book-making machinery again, and said with great anticipation.

Gou Fugui said with a smile, "Don't worry about the next day or two, all business matters will come back and talk about the details together." However, you can ask the bookstore owner to come over and find out about the situation here. ”

Ruan Yubai thought for a while and said, "Also, he doesn't know Wuxiangmen's paper-making and book-making capabilities to do the work of preparing for the sub-bureau, I'm afraid it will be extremely biased." I'll have the Eagle deliver a message to him later. ”

Gou Fugui nodded with satisfaction, and said, "The current technical level is not enough, these mechanical assembly lines have to be watched by me, and all the skilled craftsmen in Shanmen, as well as the strength of a group of brothers and uncles, can be created by hand." Otherwise, I would like to sell such a mechanical assembly line directly to Linjiang Bookstore in the form of technical shares, so that Linjiang Bookstore can make paper, print and make books in Linjiang City. It's more efficient that way. ”

Ruan Yubai was very happy to hear Gou Fugui's words, and comforted, "Don't be too anxious, there are such huge changes in Wuxiangmen right now, and so many new things have appeared, it is already very powerful and fast." ”

Gou Fugui nodded with a smile, and said, "Yubai, I'll test your eyesight." Take a look at it again, what else is the key magic of this mechanical assembly line?"

When Ruan Yubai heard this, he immediately looked at the mechanical assembly line in front of him.

Looking at it, Ruan Yubai asked Gou Fugui at any time when she encountered something incomprehensible, and Gou Fugui solved the puzzle, Ruan Yubai found an extremely critical thing but she didn't realize such a key magic before.

Whether it was the previous papermaking machinery assembly line or the current printing and book-making machinery assembly line, she thought that the control and operation of these machines depended on manpower.

But now she realized that manpower is only an auxiliary.

All these machines are actually using water.

It is precisely with a constant and extremely stable supply of water as the operating support that these mechanical assembly lines are so amazingly efficient.

It's unimaginable.

When it comes to the ability to control water, Linjiang Pavilion crowns the entire ancient ruins.

But in this paper mill, Ruan Yubai found that the entire Linjiang Pavilion's understanding of the ability to control water was too shallow and narrow.

Because Ruan Yubai was very interested in the hydraulic drive of the assembly line of the two factories of the paper mill, Gou Fugui took Ruan Yubai from the printing and bookmaking factory all the way to the canal outside the factory along the hydraulic drive system, and showed the entire hydraulic drive system in front of Ruan Yubai, and told Ruan Yubai all kinds of principles.

Ruan Yubai was once again shocked when he looked at the embankment next to the paper mill, at the cistern dedicated to the paper mill, at the two waterways marked with extremely precise water flow control scales, and at the process of the continuous and rapid flow of the waterways to the hydraulic drive system, transforming the water into a steady stream of mechanical power.
