Primitives are stunned

Chapter 101

Paper is the accumulation of long-term experience and wisdom of the ancient Chinese working people, and it is an outstanding invention in the history of human civilization.At the same time, it is also one of the four great inventions of China.

Although Wang Hao had no experience with papermaking before time travelling, he had a certain understanding of papermaking.

The principle of papermaking is very simple, only divided into four steps.

The first step is to degumming raw materials such as hemp stalks and bark that can be used for papermaking by soaking or steaming in lye and dispersing them into fibers. This method is similar to Wang Hao’s use of retting to extract Fibers are used in much the same way to make fishing nets.

The second step is to cut off the fibers by cutting or pounding, and make the fibers broom and become pulp.

The third step is to add water to these processed materials, and then make a slurry, and use a mat made of bamboo strips to scoop the pulp, so that the pulp is interwoven into a thin sheet of wet paper on the paper scoop.

In the last step, wait until the pulp is dry and peel off the upper paper, then a piece of paper is considered successful.

Wang Hao decided that the rest of the matter could be postponed first, but the pen and paper must be released first.

It is foreseeable that the tribe will have more and more foreign population and more and more supplies.Chaos is bound to ensue.

The bark and slate have great limitations and can only store a small amount of information for a short period of time. If only relying on these two things to remember things, I am afraid that Wang Hao will be annoyed to death in the future.

Not to mention anything else, just this time, including the people from Zhao Village, there were 80 to [-] people from Wang Village. If only relying on bark and stone slabs, how many carts of bark and stone slabs would be needed to remember the number of times they went to work? and the items to be exchanged.

Human memory is limited, and things that are too long or too complicated will be vaguely remembered or even completely forgotten.

If it is not recorded, you say that a worker injured his foot for two days and only worked 28 days a month, but he just said that he worked a full month, what should you do?

Now that they have just come to Wangcun, they are still in a novel situation. After a long time, all kinds of conflicts will inevitably erupt.Therefore, a large amount of data needs to be recorded, and when there is a contradiction, use the data to speak.

Meals need to be eaten in mouthfuls, and roads need to be walked step by step.Although I can't wait to make the paper, but the immediate matter still needs to be resolved.

A clansman found Wang Hao and told him that the cleaned hemp fibers had been bundled into bundles according to his instructions, filling three thatched huts.

Wang Hao has already selected the hemp spinning wheel for spinning, but he has not allowed the system to make it for the time being.

The narrow and dark thatched hut is okay for people to live in, but if you want to put a huge wooden spinning wheel inside, you have to explode the thatched hut.

The only brick house has basically become a special storage warehouse for the eight-ox crossbow. If you want to spin hemp in it, there is not enough space at all.

Before leaving, Wang Hao and Gu Mu had already planned out the foundations of the two rows of factory buildings. However, the clansmen staying in the village these days needed to fish and store food, dig brick kilns to burn bricks, and Burn out a batch of pottery pots and bowls for future exchanges. I really can't spare much time to build a factory building. In addition, the attack of the Wild Boar King yesterday has dragged down the progress of the village's work. Therefore, the people of the foundation tribe It was only half dug.As for the factory building, so far, not even a prototype has been revealed.

While walking towards the place where the hemp bundles are stored, while thinking about the next work arrangement, Wang Hao found that the time is still too tight.

Seeing that the summer flood is coming, the fishing nets must be ready before the summer flood, otherwise the only opportunity for fishing this year will be delayed, and the food will inevitably be very tight in the second half of the year. You know, Wangcun now not only needs It is also necessary to feed the clansmen with the three surnames Wang, Shi, and Gu, as well as the labor exchanged.

Moreover, the production of paper and pens must be put on the agenda. It is impossible to record the workers' work records with only bark. You know, it is okay to record things with bark for a short period of time. Moisture bark is prone to rot.

Also, the sweet fruits that can be seen everywhere on the Great Wilderness are already ripe. Before the heavy rain falls, Wang Hao must lead people to pick all the nearby sweet fruits. Otherwise, during the summer flood season, all the sweet fruits that have not been picked will be will rot on the branches.

Picking sweet fruits is not just for food, but mainly because Wang Hao wants to brew a batch of fruit wine.When he came to the Great Wilderness, Wang Hao could bear it without snacks or drinks, but the only thing that made him unbearable was that there was no alcohol or tobacco in this place.

Wang Hao has been staring at this batch of sweet fruit for more than a month. If he misses it this year, he will have to wait until next year to drink.

Everything is very important, and Wang Hao, who has so many thoughts, couldn't figure it out at all.Just when he was getting irritable, several people stopped in front of Wang Hao individually.Among them, there are two people from Wang Village and five newcomers from other villages.

It is easy to get started with digging foundations. As long as you have a lot of strength, tell them how to do it and you will be sure that there will be no mistakes. What's more, there are people from Wangcun who are already skilled in doing it next to them.

The rest of the work cannot be handed over to these outsiders for the time being, so when he first returned to the village, he took them around the brick house for a tour, and Wang Hao asked his tribe to take them to dig the foundation.

The hard work on the earth is really easy for the people in the wilderness.If it weren't for the limited number of shovels, each of them could have two shovels per person, bow left and right, and turn into a human excavator.

After lunch, before the rain fell, Wang Da took these people to dig the foundation again. If the two long factory buildings can be built before the rain, then the things that Wang Hao is worried about now , will be easily solved.

"What's the matter?" Wang Hao asked strangely, looking at the red-faced and very excited outsider in front of him.Although the work of digging trenches and transporting soil is a bit dirty, it is not very tiring for the people in the wilderness. This is the first day, everyone should be more restrained, and there will be no conflicts.

"Hao, we have to ask for an explanation on this matter today. You said that we would not be bullied when we came here. Now look!" Said.

"What's going on?" Wang Hao frowned and asked the two clansmen who followed.Wang Hao's special status in the village naturally created his aura of calmness and prestige.

Normally, not to mention ordinary clansmen, even Wang Hu, who has the best relationship with Wang Hao, would not dare to look at Wang Hao once he did something wrong.

Who knew that these two clansmen could actually meet Wang Hao's eyes today.

"Hao, they did something wrong! They didn't go to the toilet, they shit in the village, and I got caught. You said that anyone over eight years old who dares to shit in the village will be punished if caught. You will receive two whips." The clansman said confidently.

Wang Hao thought for a while, and found that he had indeed said such words. There were only two reasons for doing so. The first was to keep the place where he lived in a clean environment. After all, no one likes to live in a place every day. The smelly place, the cave where he first lived, the most unbearable thing for Wang Hao is the smell produced by his clansmen defecating indiscriminately.

Second, after the seeds of all kinds of edible crops are mature in autumn, Wang Hao must collect all kinds of fruits and vegetables that can be planted to cultivate, and these manures will be the best fertilizer for the coming year.

Moreover, the main target of this regulation at the beginning was the captives. His own clansmen were very obedient, and under mutual supervision, few people defecated anywhere in the village.
