Taking the warehouse back to Datang, Li Erle felt numb

Chapter 52 Shocked the gangsters

After returning to the palace, Li Lizhi also went to see Changsun Wugou and explained to her about her meeting with Lin Heng.

However, Li Lizhi did not say that she ran to Lin Heng's house to meet him. She only said that she happened to meet him at Baibao Pavilion and chatted with him.

After giving the medicine to Changsun Wugou, he took out the note written by Lin Heng and asked Changsun Wugou to read it.

I didn’t write too much. I focused on things that need to be paid attention to in daily life, such as improving the body through dietary supplements and monitoring one’s physical condition every day.

Li Lizhi also shared Lin Heng's recent plan to make paper.

Hearing this, Changsun Wujia couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Everyone in the world knows that the papermaking technology must be the best in the family, and the quality of paper produced in other places is too poor.

Even the papermaking technology of the royal family cannot match that of aristocratic families, especially the Wang family, which specializes in making tribute paper.

The paper made by that family is truly wonderful, extremely white and extremely smooth.

It's just that the price is too expensive, only five guan per piece.

Therefore, every year for royal procurement, only one copy was purchased for Li Shimin and Zhongshu to save, who were responsible for drafting and promulgating edicts on important matters.

"Do you want to make paper? This person knows a lot."

Li Lizhi said excitedly: "Do you think Lin Heng can make that paper?"

Changsun Wugou smiled lightly and shook his head.

"Whether it can be done or not, the cost of paper will not be too low, and it will have no impact on the current market."

"Haha, it's all in vain."

Li Lizhi actually felt the same way, but even Li Lizhi herself could think of this kind of thing, let alone the businessman Lin Heng?

I don’t understand what he is doing, so I just watch.

A few days later, in a workshop bought by Lin Heng and Cheng Yaojin.

A huge paper machine was reproduced and placed in front of the two of them.

Cheng Huailiang looked at the complex machine in front of him in surprise.

"Can this thing be used to make paper?"

Lin Heng nodded: "Okay!"

Cheng Huailiang said doubtfully: "Then should we just look at the paper and just come out like this?"

Lin Heng couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"It can't be that simple. It still needs manpower. Don't you have many brothers? Ask them to come and help."

"How much?"

"About ten of them. Brother Cheng doesn't even have this kind of brother, does he?"

Hearing Lin Heng's provocative words, the sturdy young man twitched his lips.

"You're kidding, just a dozen or so, that's not a big deal!"

Not one person, but more than a dozen people who were about the same age or even older than Cheng Hualiang came.

"Big brother!"

In the early years, they did not call eldest brother, because most eldest brothers would be called this way because of the kinship relationship. Unless the relationship is particularly close, they can also call them this way.

But since Cheng Huailiang heard Lu Zhishen's story and Wu Song's story, he immediately changed his mind.

From now on, call me big brother. Big brother is here to protect you!

Seeing this, Lin Heng also gave a thumbs up: "Bull!"

After greeting so many people, it seems that Cheng Huailiang, a local gangster, is doing well in Chang'an.

But looking at the people in front of me, whether they were standing or sitting together, it was obvious that they were local gangsters who had been around for too long and it was difficult to break them off.

Lin Heng was not in the mood to educate these gangsters on how to manage their own lives, so he directly arranged work for them.

At first, everyone was not happy, thinking why should we listen to you, who are you?

Cheng Huailiang was unhappy at the time: "This is Lin Heng, my brother. When this thing is done, this will be your sponsor!"

"From now on, all the popular and spicy food will depend on him!"

Everyone still had a look of disbelief, and their expression was exactly the same as that of Cheng Hualiang before.

Lin Heng naturally didn't explain anything and immediately called for everyone to start work.

This paper machine is not purely automated, but uses levers and gears to change part of the process that requires huge human input, making it easier.

But some links still require people.

The first step, of course, is to beat the selected bark into pulp, which is a very labor-intensive job.

This problem can be solved using water from a water tanker, but it will take time.

But now that there are so many big men, why don’t they use all their strength on the woman from Chunlou?

Cheng Huailiang greeted: "You have to work hard for me. If you can see the results today, I will pay for the food and drinks tonight!"

When several people heard this, they immediately got excited, and there was a burst of hammering. "But brother, what do we do with this?"

"Yeah, why are you smashing the bark of a tree when you have nothing to do?"

Cheng Huailiang said with a mysterious face: "I won't say anything yet!"

In fact, he was afraid that this thing wouldn't be able to make paper.

If you can't make it, wouldn't it be embarrassing if you brag and fail to do it?

This wisdom can be used in the right way!
In fact, this is not entirely redundant.

Because this paper machine was made by Lin Heng, who recorded all the relevant parameters based on the original model and personally stared at a dozen of them in Chang'an City. Every step had clear regulations and arrangements.

The main theme is a perfect fit, but now it looks like a completely new one!

After the carpenter hammers it, he needs the right owner and then separates it.

Obviously this step is also inseparable from manual labor.

However, this paper machine already has a huge iron barrel, which is specially used to hold paper pulp, and then boil it and settle it.

After boiling, let it sit for half an hour and wait for separation.

When the time is about right, pull the lever on the side, and the pulp in the barrel will immediately tilt down and flow into the next container.

This is the sedimentation tank. The newly separated wood chips will be filtered directly by the upper gauze, leaving behind fine residue.

After secondary sedimentation and separation, distinctly colored pulp will appear in the pool half an hour later.

The upper ones are obviously lighter.

That's where paper comes from.

Judging from the quality, it was the first time for everyone to do it. When lighting the fire, the heat was not controlled well, and the separation was not very complete.

But enough.

Then pull the lever on the side to start sifting paper.

The principle of sifting paper is to use a thin and breathable gauze to pick up the small objects separated from the pulp, and then sieve them at least a thousand times before they can be shaped.

This place consumes the most physical energy, and it is also the key place that determines the quality of the paper.

But now, it can be operated by the rocker on the side. You only need to shake the lever repeatedly, and the screen will operate repeatedly.

Within a moment, it was just a piece of paper.

2x3, a large sheet two meters wide and three meters long!

After everyone reached this point, they realized that what they had spent a long time working on was actually paper?

The last step is to take the finished paper to a cool place to air dry.

Everyone at this moment was holding their breath and watching the paper drying.

Others may not believe it when I say it. They are laymen, people who don’t do their jobs all day long, but they just made a piece of paper.
And just do what you are responsible for, there is nothing else to do!
Is this paper really so easy to make?
Everyone spent several hours here and finally saw that the water stains on the paper were almost dry.

Lin Heng and Cheng Huailiang carefully removed the paper, then laid it flat and pressed to remove wrinkles.

The blank paper in front of them shocked everyone for a moment.

I saw that after the white paper was flattened, it was smooth and neat. Although it was slightly rough, the material felt better than the paper on the market!
At this moment, Cheng Huailiang was completely convinced.

"Lin Heng, I never thought you could actually make paper!"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Lin Heng.

This thing is used to make paper.

Is this the person who created this thing?
"Lin Heng, the water melody singer?"

Lin Heng had a big headache for a while, and now people call him that wherever he goes!

He simply said a few perfunctory words, and then looked at Cheng Hualiang with a smile.

"I've made the paper. The quality can be better. Brother Cheng, do you want to make it with me?"

Cheng Huailiang said without saying a word: "Follow me!"

"Brothers, Lin Heng said that we brothers can do this together. By then we will have a serious job making paper. Who dares to look down on us?"

When the people present heard this, they felt so emotional!
Papermaking sounds so majestic, and it can also make money!

"Then we will follow Brother Lin!"

"Brother Lin is eldest brother's brother and also our brother!"

Outside the workshop, a crowd of people surrounded him, and at first glance they were all extremely skilled guards.

The leader was sent by Changsun Chong!
"This kid, after hiding for several days, finally dared to come out, right?"

"He's right here. We must make him look good today!"

"Come in, break Lin Heng's hands and feet, and let him remember!"
