Da Tang: Three days later, I was frantically collecting supplies

Chapter 146 Papermaking overturned, toilet paper came out.

Busy times always pass quickly.

With Li Ke’s amazing hand speed, he had more than 20,000 yards a day, and he had revised a dictionary in three days. The total number of words is 11,700 words, plus notes and so on, less than 100,000 words.

Li Kei was very satisfied with this. The dictionary is the basis of everything.

While compiling the dictionary, Li Kei screened out more than 3,000 words of commonly used words. Movable type printing, the most commonly used are these basic Chinese characters.

Although it will take some time for the paper mill to be built, once the assembly line is established, the paper will be shipped on a large scale. This is the time to prepare movable type printing abrasives.

Even if movable type printing is powerful, it is still far from enough to see in front of the printer. However, the birth of movable type printing will inevitably bring great changes.

And printers, involving too many technical fields, without a highly developed industrial base and technology, can not be built at all.

Movable type printing materials are the most provincial, and you can dig the soil directly.

Mr. Li quickly bought a shop on the street, with shops in front and residences in the back. Then I hired a craftsman to start engraving.

Yellow mud, compacted, engraved, dried. The whole process is not any technical.

When it is time to publish, simply take a mold frame to typeset.

The plasticity of yellow clay is extremely high, so Li Kei adjusted the font to the minimum state. In this way, a piece of paper can accommodate more words, which can also be regarded as energy conservation and emission reduction. Of course, each word cannot be engraved only one, and at least dozens of commonly used words are engraved. If it is not commonly used, only a few need to be engraved.

After Li Kei arranged the engraving, he went to work again. In this era, writing requires the use of brushes and ink research. The words are quite good-looking, but it is difficult to get started.

Writing with a beautiful brush often requires years of hard practice. Not everyone has the time to write eighteen tanks of water like Wang Xizhi.

Therefore, at the same time as paper and printing were born, hard pen calligraphy should also come out. When it comes to pencils, it’s simpler.

It is only necessary to grind the graphite into powder and then glue it with a binder, which is the pencil lead of later generations. Graphite has a higher proportion of darker colors, such as 1B, 2B pencils: lighter ones are 1.

Depending on the model, the proportion of toner doped is different.

Although a pencil can be erased by an eraser or something that can be rubbed into powder, it actually lasts longer than a ballpoint pen. The stability of carbon is excellent.

As long as it has not been vandalized, it will not disappear in hundreds of years. A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

It was cold, but Li’s paper mill was also working.

The printing workshop has enough words engraved, there is no work temporarily, and it has been half a month since the work was closed.

“Your Highness, when will there be work? Artisans are waiting to make money! ”

“Soon, you ask them, can they work 6 hours a day?”

“Six hours? Your Highness, don’t say six hours, as long as there is wages, even eight hours will be done for you. ”

“Is it? At that time, when you are busy, you are not allowed to complain to the king. ”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, it’s absolutely fine.”

Just then, a subordinate ran in.

“Your Highness, Your Highness is not good, there is a problem with the goods shipped by the paper mill! You go and check it out. ”

Li Kei was stunned, it couldn’t be that something was wrong with the formula, right?

“What problem?”

“Your Highness, you better go and see, this pulp is adjusted too much at once, and the paper made from this cannot be written at all.”

Li Kei frowned, and immediately followed his subordinate to the paper mill.

A dozen people in the printing workshop couldn’t help but whisper.

“It’s over, if His Highness’s papermaking technique fails, will we be unemployed?”

“Very likely!”

“Alas, I really hope that His Highness will not fail, it is easy to work in the winter and earn money, this will suddenly lose the job, and my wife must not ride on my head?”

“What are you doing with so much? Anyway, if you don’t work, you will also be paid, although it is less, but if you can prostitute for nothing, you will prostitute for nothing. ”

“Alas, you, you are fifteen years old, it’s time to make money and save money to marry your daughter-in-law.” How much does it cost to earn so much, how do you marry your daughter-in-law? ”

“Yes, you can’t send all the money to the Qinglou, what’s the difference between that and throwing it away for nothing?”

“What do you understand? People Xiaocui called me big brother, I will spend money on her, I am willing. ”

“Cut! You are weak, my little mercy Xiang called my daddy, did I say anything? ”

“…..”

Not long after, Li Kei arrived at the paper mill…..

I saw hundreds of workers squatting at the door of the factory, looking helpless. Seeing Li Ke’s coming, the foreman understood and greeted him.

“Your Highness, it’s over, it’s over, this pulp is all wasted. You look at this dried paper, how did it come to this? ”

After speaking, the foreman took a stack of papers and handed it to Li Ke.

Li Kei took it casually.

The hand feel is delicate, soft, gently torn, and the toughness is not bad.

Li Ke, not only was not disappointed, but overjoyed.

“Groove, toilet paper!”

Li Kei held this soft tissue and couldn’t stop laughing. The ingredients for this paper were also handed over to them.

But there is no proportion or anything, they can only let them control it themselves. The workers were dumbfounded when they saw Li Keha.

If you can laugh in this case, you must be angry and corrupted.

The investment in this paper mill is too high, and the first batch of paper that comes out is waste paper. It made His Royal Highness King Zhenyuan stupid.

That’s a bad thing.

“Where is the foreman?”

The foremen ran to Li Ke’s body one after another, kneeling down one after another and begging for mercy: “Your Highness is angry, Your Highness is angry.” We must adjust the proportions well, and we will be able to make paper that can be written. ”

Li Kei shook his head 1.2 and asked, “Who mixed the pulp this time, come out.” ”

Several people were shocked.

To cause such a big loss, it won’t be to unload the grind and kill the donkey, right?

“Your Highness, it’s him!”

“He tuned it!”

“Yes, it’s him, it’s him!”

Several people shirked their responsibilities one after another, treating the matter as an accident, and pushed it to the person next to them. Li Kei looked up, and several people pointed their fingers at a young man with a crepe crepe.

The man had already turned blue with fright, and his face was like dead ash.

Seeing that he couldn’t escape, he immediately kowtowed to Li Kedong.

“Your Highness spares your life, the villain knows the mistake, the villain knows the mistake…”

“There is a seventy-year-old mother in the villain, a child waiting to be nursed, and a daughter-in-law who can only spend money and will not make money, please His Highness to open the net…”
