Chapter 63: The Birth of Banknote Paper

Time flies, and months passed in a flash. During this period, the projects were one after another. The projects of three shops were dug up one after another. The batches of steel and cement were transported by carts, which really attracted many boring gossipers to gather outside to find out gossip and other things.

Since Qin Shou made a new villa, it has really shocked many people in Chang'an. Now Qin Shou has made such a huge project. The fabric around the building is scrapped by a lot of money. What's abominable is that it stops the situation inside and breaks in and is beaten by the construction workers inside.

‘It is strictly forbidden to enter, the violators are conceited.’ Eight big characters are covered with cloth, and the bloody chicken blood is written on it. It is indeed bloody. I once had a short eye-catching desire to break in. I borrowed the miserable beating by the construction workers and threw it out. The soldiers came over and asked a few questions and it was fine. The collusion between officials and businessmen!

After receiving another confidential instructions from Qin Shou, Cai Qing increased his workload and formed a three-meter-high underground mode. He poured steel and cement as hard as it was free. Even when the spring rain was raining, he started construction non-stop. After the foundation was laid, he covered it with straw to prevent rain.

As for Wang Blacksmith's bicycle business, it has also begun to officially go public, but Qin Shou has not yet found a suitable store sales, as well as sales talents, the Ministry of Industry Research Institute has now filled with hundreds of bicycles, and the brand new pure iron bicycles are much better looking than the first generation old version.

Zhou Xiong's papermaking project has also stepped up time to produce, especially those special papers with short lint, which was Qin Shou's first batch of special papers. Since there are too few cotton peaches, Qin Shou can only make a few special papers, which is very important.

Cotton boulders are white flocs spit out after cotton blooms. The first thing you can see is cotton. If you use manual methods to pull off the cotton, it will never be clean. There is a cotton core in the center and there is a lot of cotton fibers attached. This is cotton velvet, which is also a raw material for making special paper.

As for cotton, it was when Qin Shou went to visit the little lamb last month, and she accidentally discovered it when she took herself to the imperial garden to play. Now, cotton is dead at this time. Unfortunately, people in the palace don’t know the use of cotton, but they are just used as flowers for appreciation, which is a waste.

The shameless Qin Shou turned all the cotton black before leaving. Anyway, it was used to appreciate something, so it would be better to transplant it out and plant it yourself. The main thing is that the cotton boulder is important, and there are cotton and other things that can be made into quilts. The whole body is full of treasures. Unfortunately, these people just don’t know how to use it.

In the vegetable garden in the south of the city, the tenants unexpectedly saw Qin Shou's arrival. It is the Grain Rain period, and the tenants are busy in the farmland. There are still 50 acres of land that belongs to the desert. Now it is the time to reclaim the fields. Three or five cows work hard to reclaim the fields.

Tong Xue was jumping happily, like a happy elves. The spring atmosphere was filled with the fragrance of the soil. There were also the cheerful cry of the swallows. Look, Tong Xue was jumping around and catching the swallows, which really shocked many ordinary people. It was rare for martial arts masters to be seen!

When Yang Hui saw Qin Shou's arrival, he immediately threw away the farmland in his hand. He ran in the funny mud fields on the land and ran to Qin Shou and said, "Young Master, why are you here? It's a bit dirty now. Look, the roadside is full of mud, young master, why don't you go inside and sit?"

Qin Shou stopped Yang Hui's kindness and looked around at the 50 acres of land and couldn't help asking curiously: "No need, Old Man Yang, this young master is important to come to you today. What are you planning to plant these barren fields? Why are they all plowed into fields?"

Yang Hui looked at Qin Shou with a strange expression and said naturally: "Of course, I have put the seeds of rice. This year, there is plenty of rain. It should be a good harvest depending on the situation. The young master is so kind to us. We must plant this rice well and repay you!"

The rice is equivalent to rice like rice in later generations. The reason why women in this period were rich was because of the reason why they ate rice. After the Song Dynasty, the rice was infected with those black powder mushrooms, so the rice was reduced and disappeared. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was replanted.

Qin Shou nodded and said, "Oh, it's rice. We don't plant those. Now I have good things for you to plant. These are cotton seeds. It's also when we start planting. Scrap all the seedlings in the vegetable field, plant these, and sprout in April to plant them!"

"Ah? Young Master, don't plant rice? What is this?" Yang Hui was stunned when he heard this. He took the cotton seeds handed over by Qin Shou. To be honest, Yang Hui was also surprised to make a decision. It was a bit of a waste of a hundred acres of farmland without planting rice. Yang Hui felt a little confused about Qin Shou's decision.

Qin Shou took out a piece of paper and explained, "This is cotton. Don't lose it. It's very precious. Just do it as my master told me. Don't ask so many reasons. Be sure to protect these cottons. This is the planting process. Plant according to the steps inside and you can harvest it in October!"

"Cotton?" Yang Hui took a bag of cotton seeds from Qin Shou's hand and took the paper cultivation method handed over by Qin Shou. Yang Hui couldn't help but wonder when he saw the planting process inside. This planting process was really long enough, and he had to take care of something in 6 months.

What Qin Shou said makes sense. The cotton is not very wide now. Apart from the palace being idle and pain for viewing, no one has planted it or anything else. He doesn't know what to do, and he can't eat it, but can only see it. All the cotton in the palace was swept away by Qin Shou.

Yang Hui was holding a hot cotton in his hand. Seeing Qin Shou’s decision to plant cotton, he couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Oh, young master, are those seedlings going to be shoveled too? Isn’t it a pity? They have grown half-large, wouldn’t it be a waste to shovel it?”

Yang Hui, a small farmer, felt that Qin Shou was a bit of a waste of money. He said that he would shovel all the vegetables in the 50 acres, which was a lot of money! Even if it wasn't Yang Hui's own, he felt a little painful. The 50 acres of vegetables could be piled up into a hill.

Qin Shou frowned and said unhappy when he heard the idea of ​​the young farmer of Old Yang, "Shuo. All shoveled, not leaving any left. Old Yang, immediately organize those at home to help, and all of them went to shovel the vegetable field. Tomorrow, I will plant this cotton quickly. I will ask you if I missed the time!"

Qin Shou had to give a death order to solemnly explain it. If Old Yang did not follow his instructions or forgot the sowing period, it would be a big problem. This cotton is the most useful thing for Qin Shou this year, and he had to face it with caution.

Hearing Qin Shou’s solemn explanation, Yang Hui was shocked and took it seriously. Under Qin Shou’s gaze, he nodded and said, “Ah? Yes, yes, young master, I know, old Yang, don’t worry, old Yang, I’ll ask someone to do it now! You will definitely not delay your business!”

Qin Shou said cautiously: "Well, you can sell the shoveled vegetables or eat them yourself. It is up to you to decide. This young master rewards you, Lao Yao. I don't want to repeat bad things, and do it quickly. If there is anything wrong..."

Qin Shou did not finish his words and had a clear idea. If this matter was not done well, he would take care of it himself. After Qin Shou finished speaking, he summoned Tong Xue, who was having fun, to leave. He also had to go to the Ministry of Works Research Institute to take a look. There were many things waiting to be dealt with, and he was so busy that he was busy.

After Yang Hui sent Qin Shou away, he immediately summoned people to shovel the vegetable fields and other things. Qin Shou's instructions did not dare to disobey. Now they can have such a life. Qin Shou's gift is all Qin Shou's gift. If even the things he told me were not handled well, how can he be worthy of his trust?

In the Ministry of Industry Research Institute, it is not an exaggeration to the scene a month ago. With the support of Qin Shou's financial resources, the iron house made of steel was built. A long row of iron sheets are all made of thick iron sheets, and the three-meter-high ceiling is also cast from iron sheets. There are more than a dozen production workshops of large and small in the past.

The largest production workshop is several hundred square meters, and the smallest is about one or two hundred square meters. On the left is the location of the blacksmiths and on the right is the papermaking territory. As for other open spaces, the likes of coal, iron ore and wood, all production items are placed at the forefront of the government office.

The government office is divided into a partition wall pattern. The front is used to stack materials, and the inside is the main production place. A wall separates the production and stacking points. Li Laoda from the production center rarely allows Qin Shou to form a security team of 100 people to guard the production center gate to prevent the loss of technology.

Qin Shou, the production workshop inside, drew on Chang'an's Lifang tofu block system and was divided into papermaking and steel production models on both sides. Now, only so many are used for the time being. All workshops are cast from steel, and even the central building of the slaughterhouse was demolished, which was in the way.

The beams and columns are fixed by a sledgehammer. The four-meter-long steel beams that are thick with arms are penetrated straight into the ground. The conical pointed heads are straight on the surface. The four-meter-long steel beams are at least one meter on the surface. A workshop has been punched for dozens of dollars and nowhere to burn them. The beams and columns that are thick with arms are deliberately perforated during forging, and screws are used to reinforce the iron sheet to protect the wind and rain. It is really hard to overturn even if the wind is strong.

The screws are also useful at this time. When the iron sheet is rusted on the wind and sun, it can be removed and replaced. The most convenient way is to add some ignition points to prevent rust. As for the iron sheet on the roof, it is covered with cement to prevent water leakage.

Fortunately, Zhou Xiong's papermaking workshop is not that stuffy, so it's hard to say in summer. There is only one door that can be ventilated. It is probably the hottest thing. Wang Blacksmith and others are the ones who built the forging stove. The forging stove has never ceased. No matter how cold the people with the flames are, it turns hotter than summer.

Ding Dang Dangsheng More than a dozen children have become formal apprentices under the careful teaching of Wang Blacksmith. According to the assembly line production model taught by Qin Shou, no one mastered one of the forging techniques and completed the forging of parts in batches. Finally, the five newly recruited assemblers were responsible for the assembly, and when they were free, they went to pull the bellows or something.

As for the food issue here, Qin Shou has drawn some women in his forties and fifties from his tenant workers. They can't do anything and do a lot of work. They can go to the kitchen to eat and wash clothes. Wang Blacksmith and others work all day long, so they don't have time to worry about washing clothes or something. Qin Shou's idea is really thoughtful.

Qin Shou took Tong Xue to the Ministry of Industry Research Institute, and a batch of coal mine iron ore and wood production raw materials were added to it. The security guards supervised the transport workers to prevent them from inquiring about the situation inside. After loading and unloading the raw materials and giving them money to transport them away.

When the security guards saw Qin Shou's order, they nodded and bowed. They were all young refugee members from the two lifangs. After Qin Shou received the two lifangs, he picked out some young people from them to be the security guards. They had money, food and accommodation. Of course, these people were happy, and they were working for the officials.

Those elderly middle-aged and elderly people all helped to repair two Lifangs. The nightclub must be decent. What is the dilapidated one? As for the four Guangzong Yaozu in Lifang, they are conquering the world. They use violence to defeat the gangsters in the market, and then make a name for themselves to guard the other side and divide the territory. Don’t cause trouble.

When Qin Shou arrived, Zhou Xiong wiped the sweat from the corner of his face with one hand and said, "Young Master, you are finally here. Huhu's first batch of paper will be produced later. You can really work with your high-temperature heat-gathering treatment, which greatly shortens most of the time!"

When bleaching, it is directly irradiated with sunlight for about 2 to 3 months until the pulp turns white. Not to mention the time, where does the sun come from now when the spring rains are in full swing? Qin Shou directly thought of high-temperature heat-gathering treatment method to achieve the sun's sun exposure effect.

Empty a special iron house, make a large original oven, and cool the paper into a four or five-layer mode. Use charcoal to heat the oven inside the iron house, control the heat and transfer the heat energy of the iron sheet into the oven, forming the principle of violent sun exposure for twenty-four hours a day.

Qin Shou patted Zhou Xiong on the shoulder with one hand, nodded and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work. Brother Zhou, you and Brother Huang must work together to complete this batch of paper. I will leave this batch of paper for a few days of vacation. I will quickly get the lifelong affairs. Which girl I like to see is a matchmaker and I will go to match. I am not short of that little money!"

Under Qin Shou's instigation tone, Zhou Xiong blushed and scratched his head with a embarrassed look and said, "That. Master, we are not ready yet. OK, Master, just say this to you. Zhou and Brother Huang are grateful for the righteousness of the young master!"

Qin Shou beat Zhou Xiong's chest with anger and said, "Young master, mother-in-law and mother, men are married, and lifelong affairs are important. After the paper is made, you can not have to fight so hard for the time being. This master also wants to go to the ministers' houses to fight for the autumn wind!"

Cotton, Qin Shou remembered the painful thing about cotton again. This batch of paper industry alone was not enough. He also had to go to the homes of the ministers to rob the ornamental cotton. In addition to the cotton planted in the half-division of the palace, other ministers also planted these cotton at home. It is estimated that they might not get enough to get a batch of special paper.

Zhou Xiong stood aside with a shy and embarrassed expression on his face. Looking at his stupid look at his head, he was really a little scalp allergic. Tong Xue ran to the direction of the blacksmith's production bored. Her eyes were mainly those brand new bicycles, and more than a dozen styles were really dazzling.

Qin Shou felt helpless about Tong Xue's curiosity and naughty character. She wanted to make trouble, so that she would not make trouble, so that she would not complain again. Seeing her stupid appearance on a bicycle, Qin Shou couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. Fortunately, this was made of iron and resistant to falling, otherwise she would have been crippled.

As for the unlucky guy who bought the bike she played with in the future, go for it! Look, she fell to the ground after a few jumps. She was very patient and started playing again. This female bicycle is not as ugly as the old antique, but the quality is from heaven to earth.

The main accessories of the old antique bicycles are made of stainless steel. These are the solemn and steady meanings of sales ministers. As for those women, they are basically sold for young men and women. The shameless Qin Shou even had a child's doll cart, and the bicycles were going to monopolize the horse market industry.

Qin Shou looked at Tong Xue with a happy smile, a very green aunt. When Qin Shou was thinking about something, a production worker ran out from behind and said, "Mr. Zhou, the new paper can be released. This is the first batch of paper. Look how it is? Is it okay? Ah? Sir, you are here too!"

Qin Shou nodded as the papermaker greeted the papermaker. Seeing the newly produced paper in Zhou Xiong's hand, he couldn't help but feel excited and said, "Oh? The paper is ready? Brother Zhou, hurry up and take it to my master! Well, it's not bad, haha, this is the paper!"

Zhou Xiong heard this and handed the paper in his hand to Qin Shou. The thin paper was one meter long and about half a meter wide. The smooth paper surface made a different sound when handed over it. Qin Shou took the paper and touched it with his hand. The paper still had residual heat, which was obviously just taken out.

This is the special paper used for Qinshou's reform coins. The paper made of 95% cotton wool and 5% wooden paddles is smooth, tough, resistant to folding, and has a certain chemical corrosion resistance. It can be used for a long time without being easily damaged, such as folding and friction, and it will not be damaged.

When Qin Shou shook with the paper, the sound of rustling sounds made that ordinary paper did not have. Qin Shou even folded the paper without breaking it. Qin Shou, who was determined to try the bending strength, folded the paper into a ball, put it in the palm of his hand and rubbed it for several times but it was not broken. The first step of the new banknote was successful!

Market transactions are very inconvenient now. If the paper currency is successfully researched, it will be of great significance to the future birth of banknotes. Of course, this must be done first by Boss Li nodding. Qin Shou is also confident that Boss Li will agree. Before these papers were made, Qin Shou had already planned it.

The coins use the avatar of Boss Li and the avatars of the heroes instead of the face value. I believe that those flirting ministers will agree with the limbs like red-eyed eyes. Can celebrities disagree with these good things? When people in the country use money, they will see their own avatars at first sight and know what they are worth. This is a good thing!

Qin Shou planned to test the first batch of trial camps in his own industry, slowly expanding the influence of banknotes. After all, no one likes to go out with simple banknotes, right? Qin Shou has other crazy ideas. After reclaiming those copper coins, he has other and very important functions.

Qin Shou handed the paper back to Zhou Xiong and said, "Brother Zhou, transport this batch of paper to my young master's mansion immediately. The manufacturing process of this batch of paper must be kept confidential and archived, and no one should leak it. If you have time, I will apply to the emperor to increase your welfare system. Go and do it quickly!"

"Yes, young master!" Zhou Xiong and the papermaker replied excitedly. Qin Shou's promise would never be exaggerated. The two of them immediately ran back to the iron house where the paper was dried, and began to take out the dried paper and send it to Qin Shou's mansion. After they finished their work, they could rest for a while.
