Chapter 142: Who told me to be so good?
Although Li Shimin agreed with Li Chengqian to start his own papermaking bureau.
But Li Shimin forgot the most important thing.
money……
Just like the last time we built a ship.
This time he did not allocate funds to Li Chengqian.
"Father..."
"The last time I built a ship, you didn't give me any funding."
"You have to give me some money this time..."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin bitterly.
Li Shimin didn't even raise his head, just looking at the memorial in his hand.
"Don't think I don't know. Not long ago, your uncle gave you this season's dividends."
"You have so much money, isn't it enough to open a papermaking bureau?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian became anxious.
"No, father..."
"My son, I am doing something for you this time, and I will also make household registers, print books, etc."
"These are huge expenses. You can't give me not a single copper..."
"Has the household registration book been created?"
"Have the books been printed?"
Li Shimin finally raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian.
"If you haven't made it yet, don't tell me it's useless."
"If you create it by then, I will naturally reward you accordingly."
"No big deal, I'll just buy it at the market price."
Just when Li Chengqian wanted to say a few more words.
Li Shimin directly waved his hand to shut him up.
"If you want money, you don't have the courage to ask for my life."
"Instead of waiting to make me angry and beat you up, it's better to get out as soon as possible."
Li Shimin threatened fiercely.
But does this threat matter to Li Chengqian, who regards money as his life?
Li Chengqian sat down on the ground and started to cheat.
"It costs money to make things for papermaking, and it also costs money to make space."
"It costs money to hire workers, and it also costs money to send guards."
"Even if my uncle and I started some small business, we wouldn't have that much money to spend on it."
"no
, If your father doesn’t give you money, I won’t leave today.”
Are you kidding me?
Li Shimin took a deep breath.
"Okay, stop cheating."
"Isn't there an open space next to the shipyard in the north of the city?"
"Since you said there is no space, how about using it as a paper mill?"
The only way to deal with this old gangster is to play tricks.
He had also long thought that I would definitely play this trick with him.
So he had no intention of asking Li Shimin for money.
I just want to get into more trouble.
So when he heard this, Li Chengqian was still a little happy.
But there was still a bitter look on his face: "Although we have the venue, we still have to hire labor."
"I have no control over the workers, but as for the security, I allow you to mobilize the Qianzi camp. What do you think?"
Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin found it funny.
He threw the memorial in his hand on the table: "If it still doesn't work, then don't leave."
"I happen to have itchy hands, so just let me give you a good beating."
Beat yourself up?
How can this work?
Li Chengqian jumped up from the ground, bowed seriously and said: "Forget it."
"I still have something to do in the son's house, so I'll leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengqian turned around and ran away, without giving Li Shimin a chance to react.
Seeing him running away, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly.
This silly son...
…
After returning to Prince Qin’s Mansion.
Li Chengqian began to make intensive preparations for the papermaking industry.
The principles of papermaking are not difficult for Li Chengqian, a man of science and engineering.
The real difficulty is to make a more convenient device for extracting wood pulp.
Previously, he used millstones to extract wood pulp.
But that thing was really too backward for him.
What he wants to do now is to be the beater for future generations.
To put it bluntly, a beater is just a lighter grinding disc.
In order to make this thing, Li Chengqian spent a lot of money.
Not only did I draw the drawings myself, I also watched the whole process, for fear of making a mistake in any step. ??
While developing the beater, he also personally supervised the construction of the windmill.
The windmill is definitely an epoch-making product.
Because to judge whether an era is developed or not, you only need to look at the number of ways it obtains energy.
In the era in which Li Chengqian lived, there were not only wind energy, but also solar energy, water energy, biogas, fuel oil, etc.
But there are very few things that can be used in this era.
It's not like Li Chengqian never thought of making a steam engine or generator.
But the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. The level of forging in this era is really poor.
It is impossible to make copper wires for generators, let alone accessories for steam engines.
If not, with Li Chengqian's personality as a science and engineering man, he would have made those things long ago.
You won’t have to worry about energy every day.
Even so, it's not too bad, at least he has begun to explore wind energy.
Wind mills can not only make paper, but can also grind rice, and can also be used for smelting and forging.
In any case, now is the first step towards success.
For a long time to come.
Li Chengqian devoted himself wholeheartedly to research.
By the time the beater and a complete set of papermaking equipment were built, it was already half a month later.
…
Mid-July of the second year of Zhenguan.
The epoch-making wind paper mill finally began to operate with Li Chengqian's order.
Workers feed the green bamboo sections into the beater, where they are ground and heated to form pure pulp.
Puree
It flows out from the conveying pipe made of bamboo tubes and is evenly spread on the mesh cloth.
The workers took the mesh cloth covered with pulp and cooled it in cold water. After forming a paper film of moderate thickness, they took it out.
Then fold the paper membranes one by one, press them tightly with wooden boards, place heavy stones on top, and press out the water.
The last step is to stick the semi-dry paper film next to the fire to dry. When it is peeled off, the finished paper is ready.

{Received surprise value +25 from Cheng Hualiang...}
These people all come from wealthy families.
Naturally, they have seen paper making.
But this was their first time seeing such papermaking technology.
Not to mention that other artificial paper uses bark and hemp, but Li Chengqian used cheap green bamboo to crush the cost.
There is also this complete papermaking system, which can crush the papermaking speed.
When Li Chengqian said before that making paper by himself would be several times cheaper and faster than others, they still didn't believe it.
But today, they can see it with their own eyes.
I just feel that my knowledge is too shallow.
Compared with Li Chengqian, he is like heaven and earth.
Especially Lu Wanjie who came here specially to join in the fun today.
When she looked at Li Chengqian, little stars began to appear in her eyes.
{Received admiration value +99 from Lu Wanjie...}
Hearing the system prompt, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shudder.
Now he finally understands why some people say that you can owe anything in the world, but you can't owe anything to a woman.
If you steal a woman's heart, she will be remembered for a lifetime.
At first, Li Chengqian set his sights on Lu Wanjie just for the sake of points.
He really didn't expect that Lu Wanjie would really be tempted by him...
Hi……
Who told me to be so good...
