Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lei looked serious, and said slowly: "This batch of paper, the key to papermaking lies in four times of cooking. The paper obtained after continuous cooking is as white as jade, evenly arranged, smooth on the surface, and full of toughness. Although The whole process took a lot of time and labor, but when used to print banknotes, it can achieve results."

After a pause, Wang Lei changed the subject and said, "I heard from Zhen Yan that the three of you are all from Jizhou, do they all live in Ye County?"

"Yes, the three of us are all born and raised in Ye County." Cai Song has been with Xiong Yan and Chen Jian for several months, and he is already very familiar with the situation of the other two.

Wang Lei nodded and asked again: "Are you willing to work for me?"

Just now, they asked about the family situation, but suddenly there was another big change, and the three of them were stunned for a moment.

"thump!"

Cai Song was the first to react, and knelt down: "I am willing to work for you!"

"I would like to serve adults!"

Xiong Yan and Chen Jian nodded respectfully and knelt down to salute.

Wang Lei's eyes were sharp, and he said: "Since I work for this official, I must abide by it. The paper you make is Jizhou's secret and cannot be leaked. Its manufacturing process must not be passed on. This point, you You must keep in mind. Once it spreads out, you cannot bear the responsibility.”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely keep it in mind."

Cai Song nodded respectfully and kowtowed to answer.The other two also quickly agreed.

"Get up!" Wang Lei ordered.

The three got up, but their manners became more and more respectful, but there was excitement in the eyes of the three.Although they are proficient in papermaking, they are just ordinary craftsmen after all.In this era, the status of craftsmen is not high. Compared with scholars, they are far behind.

"Come on, please Zhen Yan!"

Wang Lei changed the subject and gave another order.

Not long after, Zhen Yan came to the study.

Wang Lei took a piece of paper, handed it to Zhen Yan, and said, "Look!"

Zhen Yan stroked the newly made paper, her eyes excited, and said: "Compared to Caihou paper, this paper is as white as jade, and it feels extremely smooth, good, good, it's really great." Zhen Yan took the paper again and shook it twice in the air. Hearing the sound of rattling, Zhen Yan said again: "It is very tough, and it must be durable. But, I don't know what the effect will be if the words are written on it?"

Wang Lei said: "You reminded me, give it a try!"

Taking a piece of paper, Wang Lei picked up a pen and wrote the word 'Wu'.

A word jumps off the paper.

After the ink was dry, Wang Lei picked up the paper, shook it in the air, and said with a smile, "The effect is very good. This kind of paper is enough for us to print paper money."

Seeing this, Zhen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to print paper money means that next, he will become Wang Lei's minister.

Wang Lei also ordered: "Zhen Yan, Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian will make new paper exclusively for Jizhou. From today, they are from Jizhou. You are looking for three houses in the city, preferably next to each other. Yes, bring their family members together and make unified arrangements."

Zhen Yan cupped her hands and said, "My lord, don't worry, I will do it immediately."

"Go!" Wang Lei waved his hand, looked at the three of Cai Song, and said, "The three of you will stay at the mansion for the time being. After Zhen Yan finds a place for the three of you, it won't be too late to move out of the State Shepherd's Mansion."

"Yes!"

The three responded directly and exited the study.

Wang Lei said again: "Come here, please Jia Xu and Guo Jia!"

The soldiers went to pass the order, Wang Lei sat in the study, looking at the new paper made in front of him, with a touch of joy in his eyes.Months of hard work finally paid off.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu came to the study, they saluted respectfully, and then sat down.

Wang Lei said: "Wenhe, Fengxiao, new paper has been made, take a look." As he spoke, Wang Lei picked up the paper and gave each of them a piece of paper.

At this moment, both Jia Xu and Guo Jia had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Looking at the paper in his hand, he was full of incredulity.After Jia Xu pondered for a long time, he sighed softly: "My lord has created a new paper, and this kind of paper is the only one, which can prevent imitation. With the new paper as the basis, we can carry out the next step of the plan, and then go on. But In my opinion, we have to be more cautious, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong before we can launch it.”

Wang Lei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Wenhe, I understand."

Immediately, Wang Lei said: "The artisans involved in the production of new paper are living in the State Shepherd's Mansion. After Zhen Yan finds a house for them, the three artisans and their families will move into the new house. At that time, Wen And let Shia send Anbu people to protect their families and protect the safety of these craftsmen."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "My lord, don't worry, I know what to do."

Guo Jia continued: "Master, there is one more thing. The day after tomorrow at the latest, the mission led by Ke Bi Neng will arrive in Ye County. This matter can only be done by the Lord himself."

Wang Lei thought for a while, and said: "After Ke Bineng arrives, I will host a banquet in person at the State Shepherd's Mansion to discuss matters with him. Send an order to Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and others to make preparations. Xianbei When people come, if they don’t beat and beat, they won’t be honest.”

Guo Jia nodded in response, and soon left the State Shepherd's Mansion with Jia Xu.

Sitting alone in the study, Wang Lei began to prepare for the next step of the banknotes.To print banknotes, paper is the key, and unique seals, unique patterns and anti-counterfeiting marks are all crucial links that must be grasped.Although there is a unique piece of paper, it is impossible for Wang Lei to rest assured that there must be sufficient protection.

For two consecutive days, apart from dealing with daily government affairs, Wang Lei was thinking about banknotes.

On this day, the north gate of Ye County.

Outside the city, a mission is rushing quickly.This mission is the Xianbei mission led by Ke Bineng.Behind Ke Bineng, nearly a hundred cavalrymen followed.

The horses galloped, and the athletes on the horses shouted loudly, extremely brave.

Not long after, the team approached the gate of the city.

The mission slowed down, and when they reached the gate of the city, the guards around Ke Bineng immediately stepped forward to negotiate with the captain guarding the gate.

The soldiers guarding the gate had already received the news that the Xianbei mission was coming, so they let them go immediately.Ke Bineng and his party quickly entered the county seat of Ye County.Once entering the city, it seems to have come to another world.

The city is prosperous and prosperous, people come and go, and the flow is endless.

The restaurants stand tall and the vendors come and go, showing the vitality of the city.

More importantly, there are countless handsome men and women in the city, and these young men and women are also playing in the city.Kebi could see this scene and still remain calm.However, the following soldiers stared wide-eyed at the women in the city, with a greedy look in their eyes, wishing to catch all the women in the city back and ruthlessly ravage them.
