When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 512 Come and paint the human world

Papermaking is not a difficult problem.

Xin Qu led his people to Wu Qingyi.

A lake was identified, nearby manpower was mobilized, and another pool was built around it.

Then the reeds, cattails, and bamboos were harvested, tied up, and piled on the periphery of the lake for retting.

At the same time, an earth fence and stove were built. In just seven days, hundreds of people were used to build a simple papermaking workshop.

At the same time, we also made a special dustpan for paper film.

Next, when the pool was ready, Xinqu collected the almost soaked fibers, hung special rollers, pulverizers and other things on steel axles, and continued to squeeze and crush the fibers on the smooth-cut stone. Squeeze it all out.

The fibers are then piled into the pool.

Lime, burnt shell ash, etc. are mixed, and then packed in clay pots, and experiments are tried outside.

First remove the plant gum from the fiber.

Then the jars were placed on top of the pots on the stove, and experiments were continued.

Xin Qu spent half a month supervising the construction in Wuqingyi while trying to make paper.

Finally, a piece of yellowed tissue paper, drying in the sun.

Xin Qu waited until the afternoon, then held the papers in his hands and rubbed them.

A bit crumbly, which means the fibers are too shredded.

It seems that the proportion of bamboo fiber needs to be increased.

Experimenting with inking, Xinqu even drew a picture to test the absorbency of the paper.

Then put down the pen.

The craftsmen who followed him nearby poked their heads in the air.

They had experienced all this and knew what Xinqu was going to do.

But looking at it now, once this kind of paper comes out, it feels like the world has changed!

They really couldn't understand it and were shocked.

It was obviously soaked in water and degummed like retting, but in the end Xin Qu was able to create such an existence.

As thin as cicada wings, comparable to silk!

Simply amazing!

Many of these people were people from the nearby swamps. They had long heard that Xinqu was the reincarnation of a god, but they still thought that Xinqu was very capable of fighting and did not think he was very powerful.

As a result, when I saw it today, I felt like my head was about to be turned upside down.

"It's done..." Xin Qu pressed his finger on the ink mark, "Time."

"Go back to Beibo, give or take half an hour." The young man guarding the sundial quickly replied.

Xin Qu nodded slightly: "Then adjust the proportion of bamboo fiber, and then you can start collecting broken linen cloth, which can be used to make paper.

At the same time, the coastal counties were notified of a new acquisition project.

Shells are divided into three and six grades according to the coarseness after grinding and sifting. The prices vary. I will order someone to announce it at that time.

It can also be regarded as a means to generate income for them. "

"Yes!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

Seashells are all too familiar to people living near the coast and swamps.

Usually after eating the shellfish, they throw it away in the swamps and let the shells pile up, eventually forming new land.

Now, these shellfish can not only be eaten, but can also be broken and ground, and finally burned into lime for making paper.

Of course, this is also a helpless solution.

Because lime is also a reactant used to make iron, Xinqu has no way to solve the gap now and has no other manpower to mine. He can only collect shells as strategic materials.

Used to solve lime gaps.

There is no other way.

Of course, the large-scale application of lime can also solve the problem of obtaining plant fiber.

Xinqu looked at the painting in his hand, which showed a stretch of road, several villages, half clouds and half water.

The painting was not very good, but Xinqu still took out his private seal with a wicked smile, and then wrote: "

It took Beibo half a month to do this. He didn't need to use paper but could use paper.

The blue water and white clouds are dyed with wheat light, and the first volume is used to paint the human world. "

After writing the poem, Xinqu thought about it again and casually wrote "Reflections after trying to make the square catkins" on it. After writing the title, Xin Qu first printed it for himself.

Then after a moment of silence, he wrote an explanation at the back.

Maiguang and square wadding can both be called paper.

He Jing: small piece of silk.

Then he was satisfied with the drying, and then he planned to have someone study how to frame it, so that he could frame his first paper painting, and then use it as a family heirloom...

How about opening a museum and putting this thing in it?

Xin Qu raised his eyebrows slightly. He suddenly had a new idea, but he quickly rejected it.

But now that we are very poor, we should not mess around for the time being, but we still have to keep the cultural relics and other things.

This is the true legacy that I left to the world.

"Hmm...haha, let's go back and find a place to hide this thing and leave a puzzle. If someone can find it in the future...yes, let's do it!"

Xinqu was in a good mood, he already knew how to play.

Later, he would draw a few large pictures and give them to the heroes as funerary objects.

At that time, he will toss in some puzzles and let others behind him play with them. He will also leave some space to let future generations know about their pioneering journey.

Thinking of this, Xin Qu collected the volume and raised his head to look at the slightly strange people around him.

Xin Qu's laughter just now seemed weird, which actually made them a little panicked.

But Xinqu didn't care, he just coughed lightly and walked out on his own.

He suddenly wants to leave traces. Is he too old after all?

"No, I seem to be only twenty-two this year."

"When did the mentality become so old?"

Xinqu muttered, and asked someone to pack up all the paper produced in the same batch and rush back to Changping with them.

Passing through Tong County, three hundred people were dispatched from the local area to go south.

Soon after, Wu Qingyi was surrounded, and other newly dispatched troops from Tianjin and Langfang arrived. After various arrangements, the local population of more than 3,000 people was garrisoned here.

They plan to double the size of Wu Qingyi by the year before, and the papermaking workshop will be located here in the future.

This resulted in Wuqingyi being added as a county in half a year.

It became a new county south of Tongzhou.

The local people who participated in this paper-making project were all given third-level titles, and the land was arranged nearby. At the same time, they were kept locally as subsequent craftsmen.

At this stage, it is basically hereditary.

So Xinqu assigned them the task of trying to make various ratios of paper as soon as possible.

Nowadays, there is no need to worry about where to use and sell paper.

Xin Qu took the paper back to Changping, and after meeting Xin Huo, he immediately issued the new order.

"In order to standardize the compilation of Taishi, I decided to add the Taishi Museum." Xin Qu thought for a while and said, "At the same time, I refined the functions of the subordinates of the Taishi Museum.

First: Wenhan Museum, this is a place where some museums that must be remembered after the history was compiled.

Later, it will be opened in the city to let people understand how they and their ancestors came here.

Tickets can also be sold to the outside world. At the same time, I will ask everyone to come here every year. When I build the capital, I will plan an area.

Second: The Museum of Literature and History. From now on, every king of Yanfang will start recording his words and deeds when he takes office, and then compile them into actual records after his death..."

"Qu, this expense..." Xin Huo couldn't help interrupting Xin Qu.

Xin Qu smiled: "Don't worry, I have solved the problem."

"Really?" Xin Huo was still a little surprised.

"It's natural. Before I came to you, I had already ordered people to notify the other witches. They will arrive soon. I will sell some things to them by then, just in time to pay off the debt I owe them."

Xin Qu reassured Xin Huo and continued: "In short, after the carrier is no longer a problem, the cost can be reduced a lot. However, this thing still needs to be controlled. It will take us two or three generations to fully integrate everyone. This thing is so It will be given to you on a priority basis within a certain period of time.

Various groups will be added as soon as possible under the Museum of Literature and History.

I will later order people to collect knotted ropes and murals from various ancient tribes in the deep mountains and old forests. We will engrave them and sort out the past.

Leave it for posterity, it may come in handy. "

"Okay." Xin Huo finally relented after making sure Xin Qu wasn't joking.
