Without Ji Qi's harassment, Wei Zi lived a peaceful life in the palace.
She did not leave the palace, but people brought her many things, such as paper.
This era was similar to the Warring States period recorded in her previous life, but not exactly the same. In terms of writing, the nobles would use silk, but bamboo slips were still the main ones.
Bamboo slips were bulky and could not hold many words, so a few years ago, Wei Zi began to use the papermaking technology of the Han Dynasty to make paper based on the documents in his past life memory.
She found waste products such as tree bark, torn linen cloth and old fishing nets, chopped them into pieces, and soaked them in a large bucket. When these debris were rotten, what was left was fiber. Then she fished out the fiber and put it in a stone mortar.
Keep stirring until it turns into a pulp. Finally, use bamboo strips to pick up the pulp. After drying, peel it off and it will become paper.
The process is not complicated, the main thing is to control the amount, ratio and time. In her previous life, she had rich laboratory experience, so this was not difficult. She succeeded after a few attempts.
She found a workshop and first let the slaves of the Wei family produce it. After accumulating some experience and training a group of skilled hands, she turned papermaking into a business.
To put it simply, she cooperates with merchants. She provides technology and masters. The merchants are responsible for mass production and sales. She takes 70% of the profits in the first year, 60% in the second year, and then reduces to 10% every year.
10%, ending in twenty years.
With the support of my elder brother at home, this matter went very smoothly.
Firstly, relying on this share, she made her first pot of gold. Secondly, the popularity of papermaking also made it convenient for herself. When she didn't need to use paper, she could only choose bamboo slips.
If making paper is just for convenience, then making penicillin is for the medical skill that she is good at and loves.
However, papermaking is a technology of the agricultural era, while antibiotics are a product of the industrial era.
It is too difficult to make things in the agricultural age that can only be found in the industrial age.
In the first step, various utensils cannot be made.
In the past two years, she has been trying to make glass as a substitute for glass. She can make a very small amount, but the quality is average, let alone mass production.
Without the right tools, she tried many times but failed to make penicillin.
However, when she tried it, she had a very strange feeling, and she always felt that she had done this before.
But it's impossible. In her previous life, let alone penicillin, there were a wide variety of antibiotics that were readily available for use. At most, she had cultivated fungi in the laboratory, and it was impossible for her to have done the entire process.
She couldn't explain it, and she didn't bother to dig deeper.
Nowadays, her husband Ji Qi either wants to go out to play or has already gone out to play. Wei Zi is also happy to be quiet. Apart from visiting Jiang's harem every now and then to greet her and deal with the women in the palace, she has a lot of time to study how to make penicillin.
Once you focus on your career, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, spring has passed from March to early summer.
Wei Zi received news from the craftsmen that there had been some progress in firing colored glaze.
She decided to take a trip out of the palace and check some business accounts.
