Chapter 210 Paper Made
After several days, the number of people visiting the door became less and less.

On this day, Lin Xuan saw that the potatoes he had grown at home had sprouted and were ready to be planted.

He asked his servants to prepare a few jars and planted the potatoes with his own hands.

After the potatoes are planted, you only need to pay attention to topping to restrain the crazy or leggy growth of potato seedlings.

Let the potato seedlings grow stronger and the potatoes will be bigger.

The other is to keep the soil moist. When the soil is dry, pour some water to keep the soil moist.

Lin Xuan planted the seeds at home, rushed to Zhouzhuang, and went directly to Zhou Aniu's house.

Zhou A Niu was sitting in a wheelchair, basking in the sun in the yard, when he saw Lin Xuan, he quickly bowed his hands and saluted.

"See Lord Hou!"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "You're welcome, Uncle Zhou, is Aunt Shen at home?"

Zhou Aniu's complexion was much better than last time.

I have been staying in the house before, not to mention the darkness, usually I can't even see the sun.

With the wheelchair sent by Lin Xuan, he can usually move around alone, and he can also cook.

My mood improved, and my complexion naturally improved after bathing in the sun.

"Back to Lord Hou, she is taking Goudan and Erya to see the potato seedlings." Zhou Aniu said.

"Then I'll go and have a look first." Lin Xuan said.

The place where the potato seedlings are raised is not far from Zhou Aniu's house, and it only takes a few minutes to walk.

It didn't take long for Lin Xuan to arrive at the nursery site.

Goudan just came out of a nursery room, saw Lin Xuan, and hurriedly shouted: "Mother, Master Hou is here."

Shen Yue'e ran out quickly, saluted and said, "See Lord Hou."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and asked, "How about the potato seedlings?"

Shen Yue'e said: "Back to Lord Hou, I feel that I have almost met the requirements of Lord Hou, and I am planning to inform you tomorrow."

"Take me to see first." Lin Xuan said.

"Yes!"

Shen Yuee led Lin Xuan to look around several nursery rooms.

Lin Xuan was very satisfied after watching it. The potato seedlings that Shen Yuee took care of grew slightly better than those he took care of himself.

"Potatoes can be planted, is the land ready?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Go back to Lord Hou, the land is ready." Shen Yue'e said.

"Then get the seedlings out now and start planting." Lin Xuan said.

It took more than half an hour, with the help of Goudan, Erya, and the soldiers, half an acre of potatoes was finally planted.

Lin Xuan patted the soil on his hands, and explained to Shen Yue'e the things that need to be paid attention to after planting.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, I will definitely do what Master Hou instructed." Shen Yue'e said.

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "I believe in Aunt Shen, I'm so lucky to be with Goudan and Erya today, and Liu Da took the usual money to give Aunt Shen."

"Yes!" Liu Da took the order and ran to get the money.

"Master Hou can't do it, help him cultivate the land, Master Hou has already waived my family's rent, how can I ask for his money." Shen Yue'e said.

"This is a reward, don't refuse it!" Lin Xuan said.

When Liu Da got the money, Lin Xuan kept the money and rode back.

Shen Yue'e held the money and looked at Lin Xuan's leaving back, full of gratitude.

Maybe consistent money is nothing to Lin Xuan, but it means a lot to their family.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Xuan came to the paper workshop.

It has been almost a month since the shrubs were released.

Finally, good news came from He Xinmin, the soaked shrubs were almost soaked.

Normally, papermaking needs to go through eight steps.

[-]. Soaking and retting and chopping, so that the hemp skin becomes soft and degummed initially.Make the hemp fiber shorter and easier to pulp.

[-]. Soak in gray water, soak the hemp material in gray water to play the role of degumming, dispersing fibers and bleaching.

[-]. Pounding to enhance the firmness of the paper.

[-]. Washing, wash away the mortar and impurities, and increase the whiteness of the paper.

[-]. Groove, beat the pulp in the paper groove evenly with a wooden stick, so that the pulp fibers are evenly floated in the paper groove.

Sixth, papermaking, use the papermaking mold frame to pick up the pulp in the paper tank and leave it evenly on the papermaking mold frame.

Seventh, dry the paper, put the mold frame with the wet paper mold in a ventilated place to dry.

[-]. Uncover the paper, tear off the dried paper from the papermaking mold frame, and a piece of hemp paper is completed.

The longest step is the first step, which normally takes about three months, and the remaining few steps don't take much time.

With the potion prepared by Lin Xuan, the first step was completed in less than a month, which is equivalent to shortening this time by three times.

In other words, his papermaking was three times faster than the Wang family's at the same time.

Moreover, the Wang family doesn't know how to make paper in winter, but he can do it all year round, so the speed is more than three times faster.

"I've taught you what to do next, is it all right?" Lin Xuan asked.

He Xinmin nodded and said, "No problem, don't worry, Lord Hou."

"How long will it take for the paper to come out?" Lin Xuan asked.

He Xinmin thought for a while and said: "Go back to Lord Hou, at most ten days, the paper can be produced."

"Okay, let me tell you, if you can produce paper within ten days, you will be rewarded." Lin Xuan said.

He Xinmin was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Hou."

"Okay, go get busy." Lin Xuan said.

The paper will come out in ten days, and it can be sold at that time. Lin Xuan still needs to prepare a shop.

Not only that, but you also need to find someone to promote it in advance.

……

"Sister, it's been rumored that in ten days' time, a shop specializing in paper sales will open in Dongshi, and you can buy ten sheets for a penny. I asked someone to do a secret investigation, and it was Lin Xuan who released the news." Cui Zhifeng was anxious. Said.

"What!" Cui Yuxiu was also shocked by the news.

She was not surprised by the price, but by Lin Xuan's speed.

Calculated according to the time when Lin Xuan bought the land, ten days later it would be just over a month.

Based on Cui Yuxiu's understanding of papermaking, it would take more than three months at the earliest.

And Lin Xuan was two months faster than the normal time.

Cui Yuxiu doubted whether Lin Xuan had secretly made paper before.

This land requisition is just a cover.

"Sister, do you think this news is fake? Lin Xuan is going to lose ten pieces of money for a penny. Even if he has money, he can't stand such a loss." Cui Zhifeng said.

Cui Yuxiu was left speechless by this idiot brother.

Is this the point?
"Can't you think about it, why can he make paper so quickly?" Cui Yuxiu said angrily.

Cui Zhifeng was overjoyed and said, "That's right, how could he make paper in such a short time, it must be a lie."

Cui Yuxiu caressed her forehead and said, "Have someone investigate to see if Lin Xuan was secretly making paper before. If not, our Cui family will have to reconsider our relationship with Lin Xuan."

It would be terrible if Lin Xuan was able to make paper in just over a month.

This kind of person can either kill him at once to eliminate future troubles.Either don't offend, befriend it.

Cui Zhifeng asked: "Sister, what do you mean? You want to reconcile with Lin Xuan? Have you forgotten why grandpa asked us to come?"

"Grandpa wants the method of making colored glaze because he wants to bring benefits to the family. If making friends with Lin Xuan can bring benefits, do you think grandpa will refuse?" Cui Yuxiu said.

"Lin Xuan doesn't buy into our Cui family's account at all. What benefits can we bring us by making friends with him?" Cui Zhifeng said.

Cui Yuxiu said: "If Lin Xuan can make paper in more than a month, we can win benefits for us by cooperating with him."

"You mean paper? But paper is run by the Wang family, and we can't interfere with it according to the agreement." Cui Zhifeng said.

The words have been said so clearly, of course he knows what Cui Yuxiu is paying attention to.

Cui Yuxiu smiled and said: "When the five surnames join forces to deal with the royal family, it is indeed an agreement, and their respective major industries are not involved. But we didn't make the paper, so why should the Wang family question us?"

"Sister, do you mean to help Lin Xuan sell paper?" Cui Zhifeng said in disbelief.

He originally thought that Cui Yuxiu wanted to cooperate with Lin Xuan in making paper, but he didn't expect that it was her attention.

"I have studied Lin Xuan carefully, and he has a big weakness." Cui Yuxiu said.

Cui Zhifeng was taken aback, and asked, "What weakness?"

"The foundation is shallow. He makes paper to deal with the Wang family, but he doesn't have the ability to sell paper to other places in the Tang Dynasty. Other families dare not do this, but our Cui family dares." Cui Yuxiu said confidently.

"This…"

Cui Zhifeng thought about it carefully, and what Cui Yuxiu said was indeed reasonable.

But if he cooperated with Lin Xuan, wouldn't he be unable to deal with Lin Xuan.

Cui Yuxiu glanced at him and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you're up to. If you dare to sabotage this matter, Dad will know. Think about what will happen."

Cui Zhifeng smiled awkwardly: "Sister, look at what you said, the family is the most important thing, I understand this, I won't mess around."

"It's best if you understand." Cui Yuxiu said flatly.
