Chapter 616
Fushan County now has a large population, and it cannot conduct transactions with the outside world.They simply let the shops open here, and opened some new shops.

Because many people were idle and had nothing to do, Yun Yiyi simply recruited people to make paper together.

There was also papermaking in ancient times, and the method was simple, that is, chopping bamboo and floating ponds.The bamboo is cut into 5 to 7 feet long, and then a pond is dug on the spot. The cut bamboo is soaked in the pond for 100 days.

Then the bamboo material is mixed with lime water and soaked in wooden imperial barrels for 8 days and nights, and then cooked with lye.Then take out the steamed raw materials and put them into a clear water pond for rinsing, and then put them in a pot and soak them in lime water for cooking.After repeated cooking and rinsing, the bamboo fibers gradually decompose.

Finally, take out the boiled raw materials and put them in a stone mortar to make a muddy surface. The mashed raw materials are mixed with water to completely separate the fibers and soak in water to become a suspension of paper fibers, which is then poured into the paper tank.Then use a thin bamboo curtain to filter the pulp, and the paper fibers are left on the bamboo curtain to form a paper film.A catalyst is used to control the concentration of the paper fiber suspension.Lay the bamboo screen that has scooped the pulp upside down on the press board, then carefully remove the bamboo screen, and the paper film falls on the board.Squeeze with heavy objects to drain the moisture in the paper. When baking the paper, first light a fire in the alley, and then spread the wet paper on the wall to let the paper dry slowly, and then peel it off after drying.

The paper produced in this way is soft and better than Dazhou's paper.

Although Dazhou has papermaking skills, it is only in the hands of specific people and is not spread, so this is the first time they have produced such paper, and they are all very surprised.

These days, they have regarded Yun Yiyi as a god-like figure. No matter what she said, they listened, and they were very obedient.

"This is paper?" The county magistrate was shocked. It was the first time he saw the process of making paper, and he felt a little mysterious. "How can Madam make paper?"

"Tiangong Kaiwu" actually records the steps of papermaking, but the steps are simpler, the production process is also simpler, and the final product is not so good.

The paper they use today is very rough linen paper, which is not convenient for writing, but it is still usable.

But the paper in front of him is much flatter and smoother to the touch, making people involuntarily praise the good paper.

Although they are trapped here now, not only do they not lack anything, but the things they use are all the best. It is incredible that they can even make paper by themselves.

But to his surprise, the county magistrate felt calm again.

A flash of light flashed across Yan Qinghe's eyes, and he said calmly: "Well, my wife can do everything."

The county magistrate turned his head and saw the tree shadow not far away moving, as if a breeze was blowing by.

Yun Yiyi took advantage of this time to do a lot of things in the county, not only led everyone to make paper, self-sufficient, but also taught them how to read when she was free.

The paper produced can not only be used to wipe buttocks, but of course it can also be used for writing.

The brushes in Fushan County are out of stock, and there is no one outside to supply them. Anyone with some background has already fled, so there are only some ordinary people left in the county.

Yun Yiyi simply burned the branches black and used them to make pens, which can also write many words on paper.

She has practiced calligraphy for so long, and the handwriting looks better, and it is neatly arranged on the top.

The people in the county had never seen such a battle before, so they asked her what she was doing?
How do you pronounce these words?
The county magistrate watched from a distance with complicated eyes.

"How good would it be if we could sell this paper?" This kind of paper can completely replace the current paper, and Fushan County will probably be marked by the emperor by then.

He said excitedly, thinking that although the method of making paper is complicated, the materials are simple and it doesn't cost much. Isn't this a post?

As a county magistrate, he knows the importance of these things!
Paper is very expensive these days, which leads to expensive books. Although the price of books has dropped recently, if he can develop better paper, he will be a great contributor.

If it weren't for the current situation in Fushan County, the county magistrate would have prepared to publicize the matter directly.

"Where are you going to sell it?" Yan Qinghe's words immediately calmed him down.

By the way, what is he excited about?He didn't make this paper, if Yun Yiyi was a village woman who didn't know anything, he would have thousands of ways to win the fame.

But not now, he is just a layman.

"The current situation is chaotic, even the emperor can't care about us, it's better to take care of ourselves." Yan Qinghe said.

This is Yun Yiyi's dream.

She hopes that the world can become simpler and more advanced, so that's up to her.

Perhaps in the county magistrate's view, these things can be used as conditions for his promotion, but in Yun Yiyi's view, it's just a matter of convenience.

After some days, there was another shop selling paper in Fushan County, because it was her idea, Yun Yiyi was still the shopkeeper in name.

There were indeed several large bundles of white paper in it, and the texture looked very good, white and even.

The price is also very cheap, only a penny for a large sheet.

There are some poor people in Fushan County now, and they can accept this price. In any case, the shop is still slowly opening here.

The county magistrate felt that he was about to die of anger. How could such good paper be sold to these illiterates at such a low price.

In his opinion, this random piece of paper can change the situation of Dazhou, so it should be presented to the emperor immediately.As a small county magistrate, he can't see the emperor at all, but Yan Qinghe can see it, so he should dedicate the paper to the emperor. In addition, the wild rice stems grown in Fushan County should also be included Show it to the emperor.

After all, no matter what it is, it can cause a sensation in Dazhou?

Why are these two so calm.

Unable to go home for the time being, Yun Yiyi played horseshoes with a group of people in his spare time, while Yan Qinghe basked in the sun, occasionally looking into the distance, as if thinking about something, which made the county magistrate very anxious.

The county magistrate really wanted to buy all the paper in the shop and pile it up in his home, but after thinking about the people in the county, he endured it again.

These papers can benefit Da Zhou, and may even replace the previous papers. What a great contribution this is, how can they turn a blind eye to it?

He went to the shop to buy some paper, and because he was the county magistrate, the man gave him two directly without taking any money.

The county magistrate felt a little embarrassed. He didn't do anything, and he was still loved by the people of Fushan County. He deserved it.
