Chapter 423

Craftsmen workshop, a bamboo mat stand on the ground.

On the mat, there was a piece of paper as white as jade. With the formation of the paper, the faces of the craftsmen around showed a look of ecstasy. These craftsmen are experienced, from the appearance of a look, you can generally see the quality of the paper.

The appearance is smooth, and it must feel like silk.

"Get out of the way. I'll take it down and have a look."

A craftsman took off the white paper on the scornful mat and stroked it carefully. His face was intoxicated. This kind of paper is greasy, like a girl's skin.

"Come on, everybody."

The craftsmen gave a command, and the craftsmen around also came forward one after another.

After touching one by one, his face was filled with joy.

"It's successful. I didn't expect that wheat straw, rice straw and bamboo can be used successfully. Moreover, the quality, the speed and quantity of drying paper have been greatly improved. What's more, our labor and cost have been greatly reduced. "

"Yes, I thought that Zhou Mu was just a whim, but I didn't expect that he really succeeded."

"Now that we have succeeded, we are still in a daze. Come on, we immediately cut out the paper and send it to the master mother, who will give it to the governor."

"Yes, yes, act quickly."

The craftsmen in the workshop take action, quickly cut the dried paper, and then put it neatly.

A pile of white paper, quickly piled up.

The leading craftsman sent the paper to Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying was very happy to see the results. At present, Zuo Bo's paper is quite good, but the cost is expensive, so those who have books in their families are rich or expensive.

Today, the ability to make paper in large quantities means that under Liu Xiuzhi, the style of study is bound to be prosperous.

Huang Yueying asks the attendant to come to Liu Xiu's study with the newly made paper.

Liu Xiu asked, "Yueying, what can I do for you?"

Huang Yueying said with a smile, "husband, what do you think this is?" As soon as she waved, the attendant put a pile of white papers on Liu Xiu's desk.

After Liu Xiu saw it, he didn't understand it. He was surprised and said, "did you succeed at last?"

Huang Yueying said: "it's successful. My husband's improved papermaking technique has been successful. I asked the craftsmen carefully. The new papermaking technology can be used for large-scale papermaking, and the materials are cheap and easy to make. Now the cost has been greatly reduced, and the paper can be made in batches. "

"Well, that's good."

Liu Xiu's eyes twinkled.

The birth of the reformed papermaking technology, together with the success of lumen academy, will certainly set off a frenzy.

In this way, Liu Xiu has more opportunities for development.

Liu xiudao: "Yueying, you worked hard."

Huang Yueying said in a soft voice, "it's not hard. It's all arranged by my husband. I just watch them make it. Besides, I don't go there often. I just go to see it occasionally."

Liu Xiu holds Huang Yueying's hand. After they talk for a while, Huang Yueying says, "now that the new white paper has come out, my husband must be of great use. I won't disturb you when I have to discuss business."

"Well!"

Liu Xiu got up to send Huang Yueying away. Then he told Deng AI to invite Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Pang Degong to come to the study of Zhou Mu Fu for discussion.

Half an hour later, the five arrived at the study.

However, Jia Xu was sitting in his study. Although he had already met the rest of the people, he was still a newcomer, so he sat still.

Liu Xiu glanced at several people and said in a deep voice, "you guys, I've got another big happy event in Jingzhou."

"What's the matter?"

Yi Ji was puzzled in his eyes and looked puzzled.

Kuai Liang asked: "Lord, did you win the battle again?"

The others looked at Liu Xiu with a curious look in their eyes.

Liu Xiu took out five pieces of paper and handed them to Kuai Liang, Yi Ji and others one by one. Then he said, "the happy event I'm talking about is not the war, but this. Look carefully."

Yi Ji rubbed the paper as white as jade and said, "Lord, what kind of paper? Did we make it? "

Pound's lumen academy is under construction. It needs a lot of books, which means a lot of paper. For him, such paper is the most important.

Pang Degong breathed a little and said, "Liu Jingzhou, this paper is very good. Is there anything special about it?"

Liu Xiu said: "this is the paper made by the craftsman's workshop after the improvement of papermaking technology. It can be made in large quantities, and the production cost is also very low."

When Pang Degong, Yi Ji and others heard the speech, they all uttered exclamations.

Yi Ji praised: "it's great that Jingzhou can improve papermaking technology and make paper in large quantities."

Kuai Liang said: "with the appearance of this paper, the literary style of Jingzhou must be brilliant, and scholars from all over the world must gather in Jingzhou. Even businessmen all over the world will rush to buy and sell. "Pang Tong said: "this piece of paper can be worth 100000 soldiers."

After listening to Pang Tong's words, Pang Degong scolded: "in my eyes, even a million soldiers can't match this kind of paper."

Pang Tong said, "yes, you are right."

Jia Xu asked: "the Lord has made this kind of paper. How do you plan to name it? What's the arrangement? "

As soon as the words came out, everyone was quiet.

Everyone knows that after the appearance of such paper, it will cause an uproar and play a great role. Therefore, it must have an effect.

Liu xiudao: "the name of paper is Xuan paper, which means to advertise. It's just right."

As a matter of fact, Liu Xiu's so-called explanation is arbitrary, just to link up with the site selection of the last generation, which was called Xuan paper because it was located in Xuanzhou Prefecture.

Now, Liu Xiu quoted it directly.

Pound said: "Xuan paper, Xuan paper, it's a good name. Jingzhou's Xuan paper must be famous all over the world. "

Kuai Liang said: "the emergence of Xuan paper will once again increase the status of the Lord."

Jia Xu took a look at Liu Xiu. He was also a wise man. He knew that the emergence of Xuan paper would cause great fluctuations. Such a situation must be beneficial to Liu Xiu.

In fact, compared with Cao Cao, Liu Xiu has too many weaknesses.

However, the appearance of Xuan paper gave Jia Xu more confidence. Maybe Liu Xiu could really attack Cao Cao.

Liu Xiu coughed twice, and everyone was quiet. Then Liu Xiu said, "I will control the news of Xuan paper for the time being, and order the people in the workshop not to let it out. Five people, you don't know. Next, I will start mass production of books. On the day when lumen academy opens, I will turn rice paper into books of lumen Academy. "

As soon as pound heard this, he became excited and breathed more quickly.

With the production of Xuan paper, Pang Degong has more confidence.

Yi Ji said: "Lord, although rice paper is inexhaustible now, it can be produced in large quantities. But there is also a problem, that is, to make a collection of books, it will inevitably require countless people to copy, which also requires a lot of human and material resources

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "don't worry, Mr. Ji Bo. I have already prepared for this."

To print books on a large scale, it is obviously quite difficult to copy them by hand.

Movable type printing is necessary.

Liu Xiu was full of words, and no one put forward the meaning or asked. After discussing the situation of Xuan paper, they scattered and busied themselves.

However, Liu Xiu went directly to the craftsman's workshop and ordered no leakage. Then he recruited the person in charge of the craftsman's workshop and ordered the production and printing of movable type.

The person in charge of the craftsman's workshop listened carefully. The more he heard, the more shocked he was.

After listening, he was completely convinced that Liu Xiujing was like heaven and man.

Liu Xiu arranged things and became the shopkeeper. Then he went back to his study. In three days, the workshop produced a batch of movable type, and then found a book "the Analects of Confucius" for printing.

Compared with manual copying, this speed is naturally faster and more neat. The craftsmen of each workshop, looking at the final printed books, felt proud.

When Liu Xiu got the first sample book, he ordered the collection of zhoumu prefecture to be printed. The completion of lumen academy is fast, and the preparation of books must be completed as soon as possible.
