Zhou Man listened and took the time to ask Keke, "How to make paper? What books do I need to buy?"
Keke: "...No need to go to such trouble. There are entries in the encyclopedia, and the host can search directly. Of course, if you want to know more about the development process of paper and more specific manufacturing methods, you can also buy a book."
It found two books for Zhou Man, neither of which looked very thick. It said: "Paper is not expensive. Even though most books are electronic nowadays, human beings still like to collect them because they are also accustomed to electronic books."
Lots of paper books.”
Therefore, the manufacturing of paper has never regressed. Some people even pursue retro and restore old paper according to ancient methods.
Based on the analysis of Keke's data, it is difficult to understand this kind of human behavior, because the writing quality of those papers does not seem to be as good as their current manufacturing process.
And it costs a lot.
But as long as humans like it.
Just search the terms to find out the specific production method. There are many types of paper. Enter the name. The production process of each type is slightly different, but the general steps are the same.
Zhou Man didn't expect it to be so simple. Isn't this thing... only available in bookstores and aristocratic families?
She was stunned, and then sighed again, "It's great, we share all the skills."
Keke is now a bit more "smart". After analyzing the host's words, he said: "There are many technologies in the encyclopedia, covering all aspects of society. Basically, all basic and slightly advanced things can be found in the encyclopedia."
You can learn within it, but not for more confidential things."
Without the main system watching, it talked more, giving an example, "For example, Teacher Mo's recovery potion, although he listed it as a teaching material during the teaching process for you, in the entire encyclopedia, except for you,
, no one can learn this knowledge in the encyclopedia.”
Even though she learned it, it was useless because she didn't have the tools to make it.
"This is a type of advanced confidential knowledge. It is usually taught privately in reality. You can only find the papers written by Teacher Mo on making potions in the encyclopedia. But if you want to know more, at least the encyclopedia clearly states
There’s nothing on the surface.”
Zhou Man thought thoughtfully, "Nowadays, the manufacturing of paper is a profound and confidential knowledge, but in your world it is the same as pickles now. Not only can every household do it, at least if you ask people who can do it casually, everyone can do it."
Said."
Keke responded, that's the truth.
Although he could directly search for the manufacturing method, Zhou Man still spent his points to buy these two books.
The book was not very expensive. After buying it, she paid a sum of points to print it out. After getting it in her hand, she happily went to find Bai Shan.
At night, the two of them huddled on the bed and read about papermaking technology.
Bai Shan sighed as he turned the page, "I have only seen scattered records in some books before, saying that books can be made from bamboo, fishing nets and wood chips, but I didn't know that even straw can be made into paper."
Zhou Mandao: "Looking at the description, it seems that the quality is not very good, and it has a great impact on the water quality."
Bai Shan: "So the place where paper is made must be chosen carefully."
Zhou Man asked him, "Shall we make it ourselves?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and then said: "Call Bai Er and Yin You."
But there are so many paper-making recipes...
Bai Shan thought thoughtfully, "Let's make a profit first, and then we can choose some good recipes to give to His Majesty and the Crown Prince."
"What kind of recipe is good?" There are so many recipes here.
"For Your Majesty and the Prince, a recipe with low cost and few steps is a good recipe."
Such recipes also have one thing in common, that is, the quality is very average.
But this kind of paper is suitable for promotion. The emperor and the prince are facing people all over the world. Unlike them, they can choose beautiful paper recipes.
But now it is really cheap.
Bai Shan was picking and choosing, and finally picked out two recipes, "Try these two first."
So the next day Bai Shan and Zhou Man went to Yin or's house to have some food, and by the way they called Bai Erlang and Ming Da from the house next door.
Yin You was writing under the window. When he saw them, he stopped writing and said, "There are no wild vegetables today."
Zhou Man said: "It doesn't matter, just eat whatever you want."
Yin You put the pen on the mountain of pens and said, "It's strange that even though you two are married, you always come to my house to have dinner."
"Aren't you afraid that you will be alone?" Bai Shan said, "It's fun if we all eat together."
Yin You had no choice but to hand him what he had just written, "What you want is an estimate of the daily food consumption of the servants, as well as an estimate of money."
Bai Shan took it, glanced at it, and put it aside, "We'll talk about this tomorrow. Let's talk about paper today."
Bai Erlang: "Is Xingyang paper expensive?"
"Hey," this surprised Bai Shan. He turned to look at Bai Erlang, "You know about Zheng Fei."
Bai Erlang looked at Mingda and said, "Well, this matter has been widely spread."
Mingda said: "Xingyang is not far from Lu, and Zheng Erlang is very famous here."
The capital is also full of talented people. The most famous ones were Yang Heshu, Tang He and others, and later Bai Shan and others. Now, the princes of the Wang family and the Lu family are famous in the capital. In comparison, Zheng Erlang is not that famous in the capital.
.
But he is very famous in this area.
Yin You looked at them and brought the topic back, "What happened to the paper?"
"Oh, I plan to build a paper-making workshop, do you want to join me?"
Yin Or: "...you make paper because paper is expensive?"
Bai Shan sighed and said: "Of course not. Prices in this world are ups and downs. I can't just do anything if there is a slight ups and downs, right? In the final analysis, it's because paper is very involved."
He said: "Yamen documents and recording the population of each village require paper, especially when checking the population, which requires a lot of paper."
"If there is not enough paper, many things cannot be done. This year, I am in charge of Beihai County. I have not lost money on paper, so I can't see it. But yesterday I looked at the previous expenses. In order to save paper, the yamen spent a lot of money.
There is no record of anything," Bai Shan said: "If there was no salt farm in Beihai County, I probably wouldn't be able to wave my hand so boldly and say if I buy it for a hundred dollars, I will buy it for a hundred dollars. So for the sake of the world, paper must be made cheaper.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, public affairs will be neglected, the population will not be reported, and it will be difficult for many government orders to reach the countryside."
Yin Yue said: "The imperial bookstore has methods for making paper, but as far as I know, the cost is not low. In addition, the only people who can make paper are some wealthy families."
He paused and then said: "I also have a bookstore at home, but I can only engrave some books and print them. The paper is all purchased from outside."
Bai Shandao: "I have a recipe."
Yin or raised his eyebrows.
"And the cost is very low. Of course, there are also higher ones, but I don't plan to make better paper yet. There is a salt farm in Beihai County now, so we shouldn't be too public about it."
So you know?
Yin You started to think thoughtfully, "Then do you want to put the paper mill in Beihai County? Or put it somewhere else?"
"It's in Beihai County," Bai Shan said: "Although it shouldn't be eye-catching, Beihai County is a place I can control."
? ? ?I thought about going to the hospital tomorrow, so I stayed up late to write it out. This time I really said good night.
