Wang Lei looked at the bark of baubles tied into small handfuls on the ground and ordered: "The person who came to cut all the barks of these filaments shortened and then made them into small bundles."

This arrangement is not complicated and the servants are rushing to prepare

Soon the small bundles of baubles are ready

Wang Lei asked his servants to withdraw and look at Cai Song and others and ordered: "Mr. Cai needs to make lime into lime mortar and then soak all the small bundles of bark in lime mortar before taking it out after one month."

Cai Song frowned and asked, "What's the use of this? Why does it take one month?"

Wang Lei said: "Execute it first for a month and I will arrange the following procedures."

As he spoke, Wang Lei turned around and left the yard

Zhen Yan also left immediately and left Cai Song with confusion on his face. Xiong Yan and Chen Jian looked at each other and looked at the bark of the oval tree on the ground. Cai Song said helplessly: "The two masters of the state may not really master any method."

"Look, let's talk about it"

Xiong Yan nodded and said, "Now you need lime mortar to start preparing."

"Well, what should I do if I see him in January"

Chen Jian nodded, he, Xiong Yan and Cai Song worked together to soak the bark of baubles. For the peaceful period, time flew in Jizhou. In the blink of an eye, it was already late August. The weather was still hot in the evening, but it started to turn colder and no longer hot.

On this day, Wang Lei handled government affairs in his study and Zhen Yan hurried to report: "The lord's one month period has come to soak the bark of baubles and trees. We can make the next plan."

After hearing this, Wang Lei touched his forehead with his hands and almost forgot about papermaking.

After the unification of Jizhou, many government affairs will be sent

Although Ju Su, Shen Pei, Tian Feng and others shared government affairs for Wang Lei, Wang Lei still had to frequently discuss formulating policies and policies. He was so busy that he had no time to rest all day.

Zhen Yan almost forgot if he didn't remind Wang Lei.

“Go to the backyard”

Wang Lei and Zhen Yan left the study and headed to the backyard where Cai Song lived.

When he came to the backyard, Wang Lei saw the bauble bark soaked in lime mortar in the dug pool. Wang Lei looked at the soaked bauble bark and ordered: "Soak for a month and then take it out and steam it in a large pot and rinse it in the river water for three days. After rinsing, he will take it back and squeeze out the lime water soaked in the bauble bark. Then put the bauble bark on the ground, sun and rain, and all the bauble bark turned white before proceeding to the next step."

Cai Song and others carefully recorded the three of them with serious expressions in their eyes.

Wang Lei's papermaking method is extremely cumbersome and the paper made with such methods is probably extraordinary.

At first, the three of them did not agree with Wang Lei, but every step was so exquisite. In the eyes of the three, they now began to look forward to the three of them taking action together to plan according to what Wang Lei ordered.

This batch of procedures cannot be completed in just two or two days

It took three days to rinse and then after sun and rain, it took half a month to turn all the bark of the mahogany into white.

After completion, the three of them immediately sent someone to notify Wang Lei.

Wang Lei came to the backyard and looked excited at the bundles of white mulberry bark.

It has been several months since the beginning of production and it is now the end of September. The weather has started to cool down. Calculate the time-consuming project.

But for the new paper everything is worth it

Wang Lei looked at the three of them and ordered: "Next, use a pestle and mortar to pound all the bark of the tree, but not pound it, then take out the ash after the burned weeds, boil it, put the pounded raw materials in, soak it again, and then put it in a place where it is not sunny."

After a pause, Wang Lei said again: "After this step, you have to rinse the river water and then put it in a pot to steam it and then choose when the sun is strong."

Cai Song and the other two recorded their hearts in great surprise

Including the previous time and the procedures to be carried out now are quite complicated

This program is really too complicated

Zhen Yan stood aside and looked at Wang Lei, but his eyes were full of curiosity. Zhen Yan thought: How did Wang Lei come up with such a complicated program? It's puzzling.

Cai Song asked: "Sir, I dare to ask what else is there after the program just now."

Wang Lei said: "This program will probably be soon after it is completed."

When I heard the words "I guess" Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian both had helpless expressions in their eyes.

I'm afraid it will take a long time

Since the three agreed, it is impossible to quit halfway. Also, the three of them are looking forward to what will happen next. According to Wang Lei's procedure, the three of them spent more than half a month. Because the raw materials were soaked in the wood ash and dried in the sun, it took a lot of time to finish them.

Wang Lei came to the backyard again when he learned that the matter was completed

Looking at the prepared bauble tree raw materials, Wang Lei looked at the instructions to carefully select some of the trunks mixed in the raw materials before letting Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian chop all the bauble bark into pieces again.

After everything is done, put the ingredients in a bag and wash them

At this point, Cai Song and others had already roughly understood that because this was the final work, it was not necessary for Wang Lei to instruct Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian to quickly take out the sink to make the paper and add water to stir it. Then add potions to the sink to make the paper form.

At this moment, Wang Lei was excited

It's almost November now

It took more than three months from July to November to take shape soon

Wang Lei stood beside the sink and watched Cai Song pick up paper

The task of picking up paper fell on Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian, who was the best skill of picking up paper fell on Cai Song at this moment, and Cai Song was also cautious. After taking out the first piece of paper, his eyes widened because the paper in front of him was very white, although it was moisture.

Such paper is much better than Cai Hou paper

There is no doubt that this time has succeeded

Cai Song took out the paper one by one and handed it to Xiong Yan and Chen Jian and asked them to press away the moisture and then put all the paper on the fire wall to dry it.

After drying, Cai Song, Xiong Yan and Chen Jian cooperated to cut the edges of the paper and reprocess them and then pack them.

All the papers that have been processed and made are presented on Wang Lei’s desk

Cai Song said respectfully in the study: "Mr. Wang's papermaking method is unique. This papermaking technology is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The effect is very good. As long as you improve your method, you can create ordinary white paper. Although it is impossible to be as white as jade as the paper in front of you, there is no doubt that it is better than Cai Hou's paper."

Xiong Yan and Chen Jian were also completely convinced and looked respectful.
