Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 802 Industry
Fang Jun looked at him and smiled, showing his white teeth: "Hehe..."

Just kidding, this slurry made of reeds and other forages is the key to making paper, tell you?Even if there is no sense of property rights now, this already belongs to the category of "secret recipe", and it is something that can be passed on to the family forever, so how can it be easily shown to others?

Lu Xiaoyu also knew that he was being abrupt, and was so embarrassed by Fang Jun's two "hehe" laughter that his face became hot.But looking at Fang Jun's smug look, he gritted his teeth angrily, thinking that he was just under my nose, so he couldn't believe that he couldn't figure out the formula of this syrup.Wait until someone figured out the key point, hum...

After thinking about it, he realized that even if he mastered the formula of this syrup, he still couldn't kick Fang Jun away.

Now Fang Jun is investing in technology with the help of the Lu family's only remaining sales outlets all over the south of the Yangtze River.But Fang Jun has an unparalleled influence in Jiangdong Wujun, and he is not the Xiao family who can make Fang Jun have scruples. If he dares to play the trick of "going up to the house and pulling the ladder", he will be countered by Fang Jun in minutes slap in the face...

As for the secret of the "bearing", don't even think about it.

The essence of this product lies in the excellent quality of iron, and the leaders of Tang Dynasty's iron-making are no more than the traditional iron-making Changsun family and the rising star Fang family.Even if Fang Jun told Lu Xiaoyu how to make the "bearing", Lu Xiaoyu would not be able to obtain such fine iron to make it.

Looking at the constantly turning gears and stone mills in the water mill room, as well as the handyman who came and went without touching the ground, Lu Xiaoyu couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.Fang Jun not only mastered a brand-new secret recipe for papermaking, but also had a strict system to support it, which was more than twice as strong as the Lu family's previous papermaking workshops?
As long as the quality of the paper produced is not too bad, this business is almost destined to make a lot of money...

The two of them walked out of the water dungeon house and walked along the flat road to the main room of the workshop.

The breeze is blowing, the bamboo leaves are rustling, the eyes are green, and the mountains are full of mountains.

A pool of water was built outside the main entrance of the workshop for papermaking.At this time, many papermakers were putting the viscous pulp into the paper tank, adding water and stirring it, dissolving it evenly and becoming a thin slurry.The papermaker puts the bamboo curtain into the pulp and shakes it gently to make the pulp evenly settle and form a film, which becomes wet paper.Then put the bamboo curtain on the paper holder board, lift the bamboo curtain gently, and the wet paper will stay on the board.

Repeating this over and over again, a thick stack of paper is accumulated, and the water is slowly squeezed dry.

An old craftsman with white beard and hair was holding his hands behind his back, checking the operating procedures of the papermakers one by one. If there were any mistakes, he would stand beside him and explain in detail in a gentle tone.The papermakers who were working would also listen attentively, and if they themselves made the same mistakes, they would immediately correct them.

Papermaking is a highly skilled craft. If you can master this craft, you will never have to worry about eating enough in your life.

When the old craftsman explained, he was very detailed and serious, with a kind expression and no arrogance at all.It can be seen that the papermakers also respected the old craftsman very much. When he was explaining, everyone moved lightly to avoid disturbing the old craftsman.

Fang Jun stood there quietly, stopped and listened, without any intention of stepping forward to interrupt...

Lu Xiaoyu was secretly convinced.

With Fang Jun's status and status, he never seemed to show a superior attitude in front of others, let alone deliberately showed the hypocrisy and hypocrisy of a virtuous corporal.He seems to be able to maintain a peaceful attitude towards anyone, as long as you can show the corresponding ability, he will give corresponding respect.

This is a very peculiar person, and he doesn't show even the slightest bit of dandyism in his daily life.But if anyone provokes him, that violent, manic, and sticky temperament will be unreservedly vented, no matter who he is, whoever provokes him will be unlucky!

The old craftsman instructed the papermaker's mistakes in detail, and only after the papermaker fully understood did he find Fang Jun standing in front of him...

The old craftsman hurried forward to salute: "Erlang, when did you arrive? Please forgive me for being rude, but I have never seen Erlang."

Fang Jun smiled and nodded: "There is no need to be too polite. How is everything going well?"

The old craftsman stopped being formal and said excitedly: "With Erlang's machine skills and the secret recipe of papermaking, everything will go smoothly. Not only that, because the raw materials are easily available here, saving time and effort in transportation, the speed is much faster than that in Guanzhong. Double? After ten days, the first batch of paper will be available for sale."

Fang Jun said happily: "So fast? Can you bring the finished product to a certain audience? It is best to use high-quality paper. I can see how different it is from ordinary paper."

The old craftsman nodded and said: "Of course there are, Erlang, please follow me."

As he spoke, he led Fang Jun and Lu Xiaoyu across the courtyard of the workshop and walked towards the main room.

Lu Xiaoyu looked around, not showing a shocked expression.

Like their Lu family's previous workshop, the current papermaking process is too complicated!

The old craftsman was a member of the Fang family, and was directly transferred here by Fang Jun from the paper-making workshop in Lishan. He didn't know who Lu Xiaoyu was, but since Fang Jun was able to bring him, he naturally didn't want to leak the secret, so he introduced: "One Moso bamboo can only be turned into paper after cutting bamboo, cutting green, peeling, cutting material, soaking lime water, boiling, soaking, beating, fishing paper, drying, etc. If you want to keep improving, make paper The quality of the product has been improved to a higher level, and even dozens of processes have to be added..."

Lu Xiaoyu was stunned and said, "So many processes? Compared to now, my Lu family's previous workshop was as childish and ridiculous as a kid playing house..."

Only then did the old craftsman know that Lu Xiaoyu was from the Lu family, and he said proudly: "If you talk about the way of finding things in the world, there is no better than Erlang from my family! The improvement of the papermaking technique was only discovered after countless experiments by Erlang and us. Experience, of course, is the best papermaking technique in the world!"

Fang Jun blushed a little after hearing this...

In fact, for every process in the papermaking process, Fang Jun just directed the craftsmen beside him, and Fang Jun just opened his mouth to verify the correct method through thousands of experiments.

But it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Fang Jun's contribution. The chemical reaction contained in it is a mystery that these craftsmen can't understand even if they break their heads...

For example, the process of soaking lime water, the craftsmen only know that after this process, the paper produced is white and shiny, but they don't know why.

Bamboo paper is soaked in lime water. Bamboo and lime combine to form calcium carbonate, which adheres to the bamboo fiber. After oxidation, calcium and oxygen form crystals, which will make the paper surface shiny.Therefore, even if this bamboo paper has been oxidized for several years, it can still be rubbed without breaking, and there are no traces of pleats.

Entering the main room, the old craftsman took a piece of bamboo paper and spread it on the table. The bamboo paper is crystal clear and as thin as a cicada’s wings. of gloss.

He took another scroll, unfolded it, and showed it to Fang Jun.

Lu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, bamboo paper of this quality is indeed a rare boutique on the market!
The old craftsman said proudly: "Someone used this kind of paper to copy the "Lanting Collection Preface". The price of high-grade bamboo paper is more than a thousand dollars per knife!"

One hundred sheets for one knife, and the price of a piece of paper is more than ten cents. Although this is the best paper, it can also be seen that the expensive paper at this time is indeed unaffordable for ordinary people.The price of a piece of paper is so high, so what about a book that still needs to increase the cost of printing?
No wonder culture has become a luxury and is monopolized by aristocratic families. This is simply using money to create a gap between cultural knowledge and ordinary people!
Lu Xiaoyu's eyes were burning, he stared at Fang Jun and asked: "Who does the chief executive plan to hand over the sales of this paper?" This is a huge profit, if the Lu family is responsible for the sales, it will be enough to make the Lu family earn a lot of money. While making money, improve your status in one fell swoop!

Top-grade paper itself represents status and grade!
Moreover, once the method of making bamboo paper is successfully improved, it means that a new situation will be opened up. This is an industry with huge influence, which is enough to shake the foundation of the aristocratic family!
