The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 80 The Emblem's famous guest

Shi Hui felt that even if he didn't understand, there must be someone among the craftsmen who would understand.He is not a professional scientist, researcher or craftsman, he only needs to propose a concept, and then let the following craftsmen do it.

"Father, I still have two proposals!" Shi Hui listened to Shi Xie and Cheng Bing, and when they were discussing how many people should be summoned to copy the three books, he suddenly stepped forward, "I often see that at the end of the official document, father, It is often necessary to use a seal to dip the inkpad and stamp the official seal on the document. My child thinks, why can’t the contents of a page of the book be carved and sorted directly, so that it can be printed in large quantities?"

Books commonly used in later generations are first an octavo paper, and then pages 2 and 3 are printed on one side, and pages 1 and 4 are printed on the back.In this way, after folding in half, the order of pages 1-4 can be perfectly formed.Finally, it is folded, covered and bound with thread, so that a book can be printed.

"Your idea is good, but the ink stains are easy to penetrate each other..." After Shi Xie finished speaking, he took out a piece of Caihou paper and wrote on the front and back sides respectively. As a result, the ink stains quickly penetrated into each other, and he couldn't see anything anyway. less than.

"The ink also needs to be studied. It is said that resin can be added to the ink, and the ink produced can be coagulated but not scattered... It is just the formula of this ink, which needs to be studied a little bit. If it is not possible, single-sided printing is also very good , at least it is cheaper than copying by hand!" Shi Hui suggested.

"Well, what Hui'er said is right, even if it is printed on one side, it may not be impossible!" Shi Xie nodded. Manual copying is time-consuming and laborious. If you copy a wrong word, you need to copy the entire page again.Not only is it a waste of time, but it's also not cheap.

"In addition, you can try to use bamboo to make paper and mix it with quicklime for bleaching. Maybe it can make the paper more flexible and white... But this also needs to be explored. The child thinks that a sum of money can be given every year to allow craftsmen to try to improve the quality and manufacturing process of the paper... ...No matter what the result is, the people of Jiaozhou will still benefit!" Shi Hui suggested.

"The scholar's family must be the first to benefit!" Shi Xie reminded, after all, the scholar's family paid for it.

"Hahaha, Brother Weiyan, if you don't mind, can Cheng also sponsor some?" Cheng Bing immediately suggested, in his opinion, this is a good investment project. If it succeeds, it will not only be a huge profit, but the most important thing is that it will also improve your reputation.

The existence of fame and fortune, even if it is a bit risky, Cheng Bing thinks he can still take part in it!

Shi Xie obviously didn't intend to give up the benefits, but even if he didn't bring Cheng Bing, he could explore on his own when he went back, so that the Shi family couldn't monopolize it, and even forced them to compete with each other in the market.He glanced at Shi Hui helplessly, and then began to bargain with Cheng Bing.

Shi Hui also knew that he was a bit menglang, so he bid farewell and left.Shi Xie and Cheng Bing also did not send, but continued to discuss.When Shi Xie came back that night, he said that after the discussion, the Shi family and the Cheng family made capital contributions according to the ratio of 8:2, and distributed profits according to this ratio.Obviously, for this ratio, Shi Xie put in a lot of effort. When he returned home, Shi Hui could feel the exhaustion.

"Don't blame yourself..." Shi Xie looked at Shi Hui and squeezed out a smile, "With Cheng Bing's contacts, he can help you spread the printing technology and improved papermaking technology better, and maybe your reputation will go down in the future." No less than Marquis Cai!"

"My child understands!" Shi Hui wanted to say something, but he could only reply obediently afterwards.

Shijia has never invested in the cultural field before, but it is very easy to open a papermaking workshop!

There is not much in Jiaozhi County, except that there is a lot of vacant land, and the current population is sufficient, so enough people can be recruited.In terms of technology, they can be poached from the papermaking workshop in Nanhai County. In fact, after Shi Shi returned to Cangwu County, Shi Xie entrusted him to help recruit a group of such talents.

Relatively speaking, engraving is much easier, and only skilled craftsmen can carve it.In terms of ink, Shi Xie is worthy of being rich and powerful. He directly mobilized more than 500 people to experiment with more than 500 formulas, each of which contains resin components.

The ratio is different, the resin material is different, and there are even additional materials added.Then, according to the test results, a second round of screening is carried out, so that the research direction can be determined. Finally, in-depth research is carried out on this basis, and the perfect formula is finally obtained. It can be said that this thing is really unaffordable if it is not rich.

According to the negotiation between Shihui and Cheng Bing, "Shusuan Enlightenment" set up a site in the name of "Shihui" in various places in Jiaozhou, allowing everyone to copy it back and read it for free.Just because of this, paying state papers is expensive for a while, and those who have the conditions but not the conditions to study, all try to copy this set of books back.

Those who have learned counting are overwhelmed by some concepts in it; those who have not learned it, ask for the meaning of words, and then they have learned some by themselves, at least after learning Arabic numerals and vertical calculations, many people find that their previous Wages, the latter's own accounts before, seem to have been miscalculated! ?
The unscrupulous shopkeepers were almost skinned. They were the biggest victims this time.However, more people praise this set of books, and if they learn to count, their lives will mean a lot of choices.

The reputation of Shihui was naturally spread in Jiaozhou, and along with the businessmen who went to the four counties in southern Jing, passed on this set of books, more people read it, and then more people learned to count, and finally the name of Shihui Gradually spread out.

"After testing, the quality of shellac and rosin in the resin is the best. In addition, some craftsmen added some special oils, and the effect is very good!" After the first stage was completed, Shi Xie called Shi Hui over and said to him.

"Oil?" Shi Xie took out a sample, Shi Hui looked at it, smelled it, and couldn't help being surprised.The worker actually put oil in the ink, but he didn't know where the oil came from.

"Do you know this? It is said that this worker found it on a mountain wall when he was looking for resin. This black grease flows out from the cracks in the stone, with a pungent smell. The key is that it can also be ignited. That's why he tried some of them and came back to see if they could be used to make ink." Shi Xie was a little surprised when he heard that Shi Hui actually knew about such things.

"This is a kind of mixed oil, mainly a kind of fat gradually formed by beasts and plants buried underground for tens of thousands of years. Because the composition is very complex, different components can be extracted by fractional distillation. For example, paraffin, For example, asphalt, asphalt is also very convenient for paving roads..." Shi Hui replied, he seemed to remember that there should be no large oil fields in this area.

It is estimated that some small oil fields have disappeared after more than 2000 years of exploitation, or for other reasons.

"It's not much, I vetoed adding this as a raw material!" Shi Xie nodded, he didn't know why Shi Hui knew this, but this thing is not suitable as a raw material for ink.

"The distribution of this thing is not regular. It can't be found just by digging anywhere, or you might not be able to find it for a long time. It's really not suitable!" Shi Hui replied, with the current technology, it is indeed not necessary to develop the petrochemical industry. .

"There is another thing!" Shi Xie looked at Shi Hui, "The guests invited by Deshu have arrived at Guangxin's old house, and they will be remitted later. The ceremony of accepting apprentices is about to begin. You have to take care of them these few days. Reading!"

"My child understands!" Shi Hui was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly. He didn't expect the time to pass so quickly.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
