Mythic Three Kingdoms: My Entry Infinitely Improves

Chapter 179 Papermaking Techniques

Such things as shaking people will definitely not be able to shake people for a while.

After the improvement of the craftsmanship of Cai Lun, the Zhongchang attendant of the year.

In the rest of the Han Dynasty, many places had paper-making workshops.

It's just because the raw materials used and some processes are not perfect enough.

The paper produced at this time could not replace cloth and bamboo slips at all.

It is difficult to process and the quantity produced is scarce.

As a result, the price of paper is much more expensive.

And the quality of paper in this era is still not enough.

Fine paper exists, but it's just like the fine craftsmanship.

If you want to make such paper, it will take a lot of effort.

In terms of cost, it is also something that ordinary people cannot afford at all.

What Qin Yu wants to do now is to upgrade the whole set of methods that can quickly produce paper under the current productivity environment.

If you want to make paper, the choice of raw materials has a lot to say.

In the past, Cai Hou used raw materials such as bark, hemp, cloth, and fishing nets to make paper.

The paper is successfully produced after a series of processes such as frustrating, smashing, frying, and baking.

However, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, papermaking continued to innovate.

At this stage, cloth and bamboo slips are completely eliminated.

In addition to the original hemp and mulch, the raw materials for papermaking have expanded to include mulberry bark, rattan bark, etc.

It was naturally impossible for Qin Yu to know these things.

But he doesn't know, and it doesn't prevent the craftsmen in the paper workshop from not knowing.

Besides, what Qin Yu needs now does not need to find a professional craftsman at all.

He only needs to copy Cai Lun's method of processing paper, and then use the system to upgrade it, and naturally there will be no problems.

As for the glass...

He has to think about this matter carefully.

In other words, it is necessary to find some very powerful handicraft experts to help him with research and development.

It is not necessary to be able to research the complete glass manufacturing process.

Just research a semi-finished product.

By reducing the number of fragments needed to upgrade this manufacturing process, Qin Yu can directly upgrade.

With such a plan in mind.

Qin Yu immediately went back to Jiyang County to look for Feng Ji and Lou Gui.

After hearing that Qin Yu needed the method of making Caihou paper.

Lou Gui agreed without hesitation.

The method of making Caihou paper is not a secret.

For aristocratic families like them, things that are conducive to inheriting family studies and monopolizing knowledge.

They are all very caring.

Although not every aristocratic family has a paper workshop.

But when the craftsmanship of Caihou paper was widely promoted to the world.

Naturally, they also included a copy.

It's just a matter of taking this craft from home and dedicating it to Qin Yu.

This kind of thing is not the slightest difficulty.

However, after Lou Gui saw that Qin Yu was very concerned about the craftsmanship of Caihou paper, he still couldn't help admonishing him.

"Sir, although the craftsmanship of Caihou paper is wonderful, the speed of making paper is not only very slow, but also it is not easy to preserve after it is made."

"Compared with those papers, it's not as convenient as the bamboo slips written on silk."

"However, if the master wants better paper, the subordinates know someone."

"The man's name is Zuo Bo, and he is from Donglai County. The Zuo Bo paper he made is unique. It is easy to write and is sought after by many scholars."

"If sir needs it, I can visit in person and ask for papers for him."

Lou Gui was willing to go all out.

Qin Yu saw Lou Gui pleading for orders like this, he smiled and waved his hands and said, "That's unnecessary, Zi Bo only needs to bring Caihou's papermaking craft to me."

Seeing Qin Yu's resolute attitude, Lou Gui didn't say much.

Go straight to the order.

"Mr. Xu just wants to see what this papermaking technology looks like?"

Lou Gui thought to himself.

He didn't think that Qin Yu wanted to make Caihou paper because he really wanted to make Caihou paper.

If you really do it, it's a naked thankless act.

It is not necessary.

After that, Qin Yu went to look for Feng Ji again.

Let him post documents in Jiyang County to recruit skilled craftsmen from the people.

If there are talented people, they will not hesitate to pay.

Feng Ji also took orders to go.

Finally, after all this was arranged.

Qin Yu was a little free.

Jiyang County is close to Wancheng.

Nanyang County is also a county with a large population. In Jiyang County alone, there are nearly [-] households.

This statistical data does not include those local tyrants in Jiyang County who hide their household registrations under their names.

After Qin Yu took office.

All these people in Jiyang County are very docile.

Didn't make any trouble for him.

Qin Yu felt that this might have something to do with the things he did in Luoyang, as well as the fact that he was now the Marquis of Guannei who was named a saint by Liu Hong himself.

But the bigger relationship, he felt, was due to Feng Ji and Lou Gui.

Their Feng family and Lou family were indeed not ordinary families in Nanyang County.

A place like Jiyang County naturally has their family business.

Moreover, some of the officials in Jiyang County are members of their two aristocratic families.

Although it provided great convenience to Qin Yu.

But after probably knowing the impact that a behemoth like the family will have on a regime in the later stage.

Qin Yu still felt that such an approach was unsustainable.

Open the door of the world wide, give those poor children a room for promotion, so that everyone under his command can live a good life.

This is what Qin Yu feels is the path of sustainable development in this era.

……

"Then Qin Yu wants to recruit skilled craftsmen? What is he planning to do?"

It took less than two days for Qin Yu to send out the documents in Jiyang County.

Those aristocratic families in Luoyang and those aristocratic families in Nanyang County themselves already knew the news.

Obviously, they couldn't understand Qin Yu's operation.

"Want a craftsman? Yes, then send him some. I want to see what Qin Yu wants to do."

The same order appeared among different aristocratic families.

Among them, Yuan Shi is naturally the leader.

Many people from the big family in the land of Jingxiang have thought about it.

Afterwards, the Jiyang County was inevitably bustling with activity.

In Wancheng, prefect Chu Gong naturally also received the news.

In the recent period of time, he can clearly feel that the situation under his rule is not good.

The actions of these aristocratic families have become very obvious and very targeted.

Especially after Qin Yu was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, after returning from Luoyang, this kind of secretly targeted situation became more and more obvious.

Chu Gong's background is not good.

Compared with those aristocratic families, he is a real poor boy.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to go to Xiaofang Village by himself.

When Qin Yu came back from Luoyang before, he also paid a special visit to his residence once.

That time Chu Gong had a good feeling for Qin Yu, a young man.

It was completely different from the nagging look he had imagined.

Chu Gong was very interested in what Qin Yu said and how he did things.

Later, he also thought carefully about the brief exchange with Qin Yu.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this young man Qin Yu was not simple.

He has already heard of the name of Shenshui.

It's just that Qin Yu didn't give it away, and he couldn't mention it before.

It is impossible to say that he is not interested in Shenshui.

Now I just took this opportunity to go to Jiyang County to have a look.

See what Qin Yu is doing in Jiyang County.

If you want those craftsmen, is it really related to Shenshui?
If it was really related to Shenshui, then he would have to mention it carefully.

Qin Yu in Thorn Sun City really didn't expect his immediate boss to come running over suddenly.

But Chu Gong is also interesting.

He is slightly fat and has a kind face.

He doesn't look like a scholar, but rather a rich man who is very good at making money.

Qin Yu had a good impression of Chu Gong.

After the two met, Chu Gong only asked Qin Yu about the political development of Jiyang County, and put the matter aside for the time being.

"I heard Xiaozhi that you have been searching for skilled craftsmen recently. I don't know why?"

Qin Yu naturally had already thought of Chu Gong's reason for coming.

Regarding Chu Gong's problem, Qin Yu didn't want to hide everything, so he directly expressed his idea of ​​wanting to make paper.

As for the firing of glass, Qin Yu didn't mention it.

"Papermaking?" Chu Gong was obviously very puzzled, "Why did you order Xiaozhi to make paper?"

Qin Yu said: "Of course it is for transcribing the classics."

"The eunuch doesn't know something. Although I am a county magistrate now, I have too few people available under my command. If you want to say that the people under my command are all stupid, I don't think so. I think they just lack a capable person. Access to these classic opportunities."

"If I give them this opportunity now, there may be some available people in the future. Although it can't relieve the urgent need, it can always be prepared for a rainy day."

When Chu Gong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Prepare for a rainy day! This word is very clever!"

He paused, then asked again: "However, Xiaozhi, you have no one under your command, have you never thought about using those gentry children? Among them, there are many talented people. If you can get their help, As far as you are concerned, it is also very beneficial."

Qin Yu smiled and said, "Of course it will be activated, but the eunuch doesn't think it's a good thing if too many gentry children activate it?"

Chu Gong fell silent.

Qin Yu didn't speak either.

After a while, Chu Gong shook his head and said, "It's difficult."

Qin Yu said: "Of course it is difficult, but difficult things must be done by someone. Besides, the prefect should also know that I have some small means, at least to ensure that the people under my rule have food and clothing."

"Since they have enough food and clothing, and they don't have to worry about anything in the future, why not explain the scriptures and history of Ziyi to these people, so that they can increase their knowledge, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Chu Gong shook his head: "Xiao Zhi, you still think too simple."

"Let's not say that the classics and history of Ziyi are very human. Even if they can be taught, they need to be read every day to understand the mystery. Now you want to copy the classics with paper, but you have never thought that the paper is precious, but It’s not something ordinary people can afford.”

Qin Yu grinned when he heard the words: "Then, if I have the confidence to make a paper that is not expensive, easy to preserve, and very suitable for writing, what does the eunuch think?"

Chu Gong stared at Qin Yu carefully, looking at the strong confidence in Qin Yu's eyebrows.

Can't help but slowly took a breath.

"In this way, it will benefit the world!"
