My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 527: Don’t underestimate the bond between me and the nine tribes!
Ying Chengyu ignored Qi Ai's complaint and just said with his right hand: "Please!"

The four people in Hancang felt that the soft couches in the side room were emitting a strong stench.

But Ying Chengyu had already sat down calmly, and the four Han Cang people had no choice but to follow suit.

After everyone was seated, Ying Chengqiao finally spoke: "I have been on an expedition for more than half a year. After returning, I have been busy with many things, and I have not summoned the two great craftsmen."

"Two great craftsmen, how is the development of Chang'an paper going?"

Qi Ai hurriedly took out a thick stack of paper from his arms and held it up with both hands: "Your Majesty, after your Majesty's expedition, we completed the experiment on the remaining 162 retting methods in accordance with your Majesty's orders."

“One hundred and seven of these retting methods ultimately failed to make paper.”

"We have sealed the production process, remaining pulp and drying materials in the warehouse for future use."

"The remaining fifty-five methods of retting paper, their production methods and test results are all here."

After taking the paper handed over by Qi Ai, Ying Chengyu's eyes lit up.

Although the second to eighth sheets of paper all have obvious flaws, they are all outstanding in a certain dimension, and may be used for special purposes or have the value of in-depth research.

After saying this, Qi Ai bowed apologetically to Xu Min.

Covering the mask with his hand, Han Cang asked in a loud voice: "Can I look at this paper with your Majesty?"

"The fourth piece of paper is the fairest. Although it has no special characteristics in other aspects, I think..."

"I just have to trouble Doctor Xu and Han Shangqing to watch together."

Xu Min wanted to say a polite word, but the stench that was everywhere prevented him from opening his mouth at all, so he just returned the gift with his hands raised, then tilted his neck and looked sideways at the stack of Chang'an paper in Han Cang's hand.

"The third piece of paper is the softest. Although it is too heavily dyed and not suitable for writing, in line with Your Majesty's guiding ideology of 'discovering problems, analyzing problems, and solving problems', I think we can deeply study the reason why this paper is soft. Qiao, used on other Chang'an paper."

"The second piece of paper is the most suitable for writing, and the cost is only slightly more expensive than the original Chang'an paper, but it is more difficult to preserve, and may be used for military academy training."

Ying Chengyu patiently listened to Qi Ai's introduction, nodded and said warmly: "Thank you, two great craftsmen, craftsmen."

"It is not easy to conduct such detailed research, and I will give you my own reward."

Qi Ai seemed to be sitting in a dignified and solemn royal study instead of being in a stinky place at all, introducing the characteristics of each piece of Chang'an paper in detail:
"Your Majesty, Han Shangqing, Doctor Xu, and others think that although this first piece of paper is not the most outstanding in terms of softness, fineness, smudged dye, color, preservation time, and difficulty of preservation, it is the most comprehensive."

Qi Ai asked sincerely and with a hint of confusion: "Why did your Majesty say this?"

Cao Mao immediately handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty has given me too much praise. This is what I should do. Your Majesty does not need to reward me any more."

Qi Ai hurriedly took out another stack of papers from his arms: "I have prepared two copies, you can also take a look at it yourself."

The third piece of paper went to the other extreme. The texture of the paper was quite soft and tough, but the ink on the paper was smudged and smeared. It was almost impossible to use for writing, but it was suitable for wiping dirt.

Compared with the first generation of Chang'an paper, although the color of the paper in front of Ying Chengyu is still yellow, it does not have so many fibers visible to the naked eye. It feels slightly smoother and is obviously much softer when bent. , the ink marks are also more convergent and clear, and the degree of smearing is greatly improved compared to the first generation Changan paper.

The curiosity in Han Cang's heart suppressed his persistence in finding Zhu Youyi.

The lower the paper is in the ranking, the lower its value, but Qi Ai can always find its unique meaning.

Turning over the second piece of paper, Ying Chengyu saw that the ink on this paper was moist but not blurry, and had clear layers. However, the paper was hard and brittle, and there was a risk of breaking if the slightest exertion was applied.

Qi Ai obviously put a lot of effort into the explanation, and he also fully understood that the venerable person was generally pressed for time and did not have much time to wait for him to express his wishes before suppressing them.

The first piece of paper is the most balanced and comprehensive paper, and it is also the most suitable paper for promotion to attract Ying Chengyu's attention.

"I have already given all the rewards given by your Majesty to my family, and I have never seen them."

"Because none of that matters!"

"To be able to always observe the state of your research and thinking, to be able to follow your thoughts and guidance, and to be attached to you to develop such a thing that will benefit the world, is actually a beautiful thing that we can't even dream of. Yea! We can prepare our own dry food and study with you the things that benefit the country and the people, and we will be very happy!"

"Even when the elders of my family learned that I can follow the emperor, they are already discussing to open a separate page for me in the family tree!"

"Your Majesty has repeatedly rewarded you generously. How can I be so handsome?!"

Han Cang, Xu Min, and Cao Mao:? ? ?

Three pairs of surprised eyes turned to Qi Ai.

There is a traitor among our group of technicians!
Even Ying Chengyu was stunned.

Although countless people racked their brains to praise him.

But he had never heard of such praise.

Even though Ying Chengyu, who had been born in two generations, froze for a breath, he forced a smile and said: "Gong is merit, and fault is fault."

"You craftsmen helped me achieve my wish, how could I treat you badly?"

"Leaving a name in history and being respected by others cannot be used as food."

Seeing Ying Chengyu's slight embarrassment, Qi Ai immediately changed the subject: "I believe that this new paper is much better than the original paper made by the emperor, and it is worth reopening the retting pond to make it."

"It's just that this is a big deal, so I didn't report it to the court after the paper was formed."

"I wonder if your Majesty wants to submit this paper to the court?"

The topic was brought back to the main topic, and Ying Chengyu no longer thought about Qi Ai's goosebumps-inducing words, but instead thought about it and asked: "Han Shangqing thinks, should Great Qin sell this paper?" Han Cang rubbed the first one with his hand. Zhang Chang'an Paper, said in a deep voice: "I know that Your Majesty is determined to make this Chang'an Paper available to everyone in the world."

"As I wish, don't be in a hurry!"

"There is little paper in Chang'an today. Every time it is sold to other countries, merchants will sell it at a higher price."

"The benefits conferred by your Majesty were not obtained by the head of Guizhou, but by the merchants."

"Chen Guan's new Chang'an paper production method is much more complicated than the original paper. Even if the cost can be reduced, the output will be lower."

"I think we should slightly increase the price of Chang'an paper sold to other countries, so as to earn more money to build more paper-making workshops and train more craftsmen."

"After Chang'an paper can basically meet the needs of people all over the world, we will take out this paper and sell it in small quantities at a high price."

"Step by step will last long!"

In Hancang's view, now that supply is far less than demand, the top priority is to first solve the problem of whether there is any, and then solve the problem of whether it is good or not.

If industrial upgrading is carried out rashly, output will be lower.

This will inevitably lead to rising prices and the inability of the poor to purchase Chang'an paper, which runs counter to Ying Chengxuan's original intention.

Ying Chengxiao smiled and nodded: "What Han Shangqing is thinking is also what I am thinking."

"Tomorrow, the Japanese emperor will order Master Cao and Master Qi to order a group of craftsmen to present this new paper to the palace."

"At that time, I ask Han Shangqing to give this advice and discuss it with the ministers."

Han Cang quickly handed over his hand and said, "This is my duty."

Ying Chengyu looked at Qi Ai again: "The first batch of tests has been completed, and the Chang'an Township Paper Mill no longer needs so many manpower."

"Next, the Chang'an Township papermaking workshop will streamline its personnel, leaving only 30% of those who are talented in developing Chang'an paper to continue to work."

"I firmly believe in the intelligence and talent of our Da Qin craftsmen. There will definitely be craftsmen who can come up with better ways to improve this Chang'an paper."

"So what you have to do is continue to adjust the material ratio in the pulp and try more new material effects."

"If a craftsman has any ingenuity, he can try it out by taking materials from the treasury."

"Anyone who can further improve the existing Chang'an paper will be rewarded with at least 10,000 yuan!"

"If the improvement effect is significant, I will not hesitate to report to the king and ask for a knighthood!"

Ying Chengxuan had already taught him everything he knew about papermaking.

The next thing to do is to use the financial resources of Chang'an Junfu and the profits from selling Chang'an paper to conduct violent and exhaustive verification!

Ying Chengyu believes that as long as he tries enough times, he can always find the right route.

Ying Chengyu also hopes that the reward can mobilize the subjective initiative of the craftsmen in the paper mill, use their ingenuity to speed up the exhaustion, and even directly lead the paper mill to the right path!

Qi Ai and Cao Mao were both overjoyed, and they all raised their hands: "On behalf of my colleagues, I would like to express my gratitude to you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Chengyu said calmly: "If you have any merit, I will not hesitate to reward you."

"Of course, who would dare to leak the craftsmanship of Chang'an paper, or take Chang'an paper out of the workshop that has not been decided for mass production?"

"The sword in my hand cannot drink the blood of the Qin people!"

Ying Chengyu did not deliberately release his murderous intent and roared angrily.

But Qi Ai and Cao Mao had a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads and backs.

No one will doubt whether Ying Chengyu dares to kill people, and no one will doubt whether the sword in Ying Chengyu's hand is still sharp.

They will only doubt whether Ying Chengyu can abide by the "Qin Law". After someone leaks the secret, according to the law, only his sect will be destroyed instead of his clan!
Even Qi Ai didn't dare to be obedient at this time, so he could only hand in hand firmly and sincerely with Cao Mao: "I will live up to you!"

Your Majesty!

Don't underestimate the bond between me and the nine tribes!
Ying Chengqiao smiled happily: "I can rest assured that these two master craftsmen are working."

Qi Ai forced out a smile: "How can I procrastinate on what your Majesty has asked me to do?"

"It's just that I'm stupid."

"After the paper mill staff is streamlined this time, some craftsmen are bound to leave the paper mill."

"I don't know how to continue to control these craftsmen after they leave the papermaking mill and travel to various places to avoid leaking secrets."

Ying Chengyu patiently explained: "Don't worry, Master Qi."

"Although these craftsmen will be streamlined from the papermaking mill, they are all skilled, talented, and loyal craftsmen. How can I be willing to let them scatter?"

"I will build another workshop not far from the paper mill to conduct new research."

"This is also the purpose why I am looking for two great craftsmen, Han Shangqing and Dr. Xu to come to Chang'an Jun's Mansion today."

Cao Mao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Majesty, do you have any new ideas?"
