Li Jiang calmly directed Fusu and Changpingjun to grind and stir the leaves with sticks and pestles.

Finally, pour into water and stir to precipitate for papermaking.

Papermaking is the process of removing moisture from leaf fibers and forming a thin layer of moist paper.

There is only one advantage for these three people to cooperate. Li Jiang knows the process, which saves time and effort.

Changpingjun's hands are steady and strong, and physical work is not a problem.

Fusu was attentive and smart. He only watched Li Jiang demonstrate once, so he knew the process and purpose, and he was able to get a feel for it bit by bit.

It’s already much better than what Li Jiang did.

The copy is light, thin and even.

The paper isn't dry yet, so you can't tell how soft or hard it is.

But Li Jiang knew that this time the paper was almost the same.

After reviewing the results again, Li Jiang transcribed the process on a bamboo slip. If she succeeds this time, she will replace Cai Lun and become No. 1 recorded in history books.

If it succeeds this time, then we can study it in depth.

Seeing the results, both Changping-kun and Fusu were very happy and felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Thinking that there was a high probability of success tomorrow, Li Jiang couldn't wait any longer and directed Changping Jun and Fusu to do more.

At the same time, use a small iron with homemade heated water to quickly dry the paper you just cut out.

The paper after drying at low temperature is indeed much softer and lighter.

Although it feels a bit like the newspapers of later generations, it is still a big step towards success!

Li Jiang took the paper and excitedly prepared to tell Ying Zheng the good news.

As a result, as soon as she reached the main hall, she heard that the complaint team came to Ying Zheng again to report to her.

Li Jiang did not rush into the palace as before, but stood outside the door and coughed twice.

The courtier who was criticizing her paused for a moment, and looked out of the palace with Ying Zheng.

Li Jiang stood outside the palace, listening to these talkative ministers who said they were reading books from sages and sages, and they were so literate and weird.

【Ha~ I’m not ashamed! 】

[Talking to the two of us, if it weren’t for the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage that left half of my body paralyzed because I was afraid of scolding you, and there would be no one available in Daqin then, do you think I wouldn’t scold you? 】

Li Jiang coughed twice and raised the freshly ironed, dry and flat paper above his head with both hands, facing the sun.

He said loudly: "Ouch~ Ouch~ This is incredible!"

Ying Zheng noticed Li Jiang when he was complaining from Li Jiang's heart. Now looking at her funny look, he lowered his head slightly and curled his lips.

This Li Jiang~ What should I ask him to say?

Originally, other courtiers did not approve of Li Jiang lighting a fire in Dayang Palace, but Li Si became more and more passionate as he spoke, and even some of his words made Feng Quji and others feel that they were inappropriate.

After all, it was Li Si who added his personal emotions and brought the incident involving Lord Chang Ping into the matter.

For a moment, Feng Quji and others remained silent. At this moment, Li Jiang's voice appeared at the door of the palace.

The courtiers of Dayang Palace and Ying Zheng all turned their attention to Li Jiang in front of Dayang Palace.

When Li Si heard Li Jiang's words, his first reaction was to frown.

Just as he was about to turn around and scold Li Jiang, he heard Li Jiang continue.

"Your Majesty! Look! These leaves can actually make paper! It's the most ridiculous thing in the world. It's unheard of and unseen!"

Li Jiang held up the paper and glanced at the ministers: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, an illiterate person who has never read any sages' books or ancient books. I am nothing." How could a person like you make paper?"

"This paper is quite thin? Eh? It's really easy to use!"

Li Jiang gently shook the paper off twice with her hands. Very good, this paper makes her look good!

"Do you think it's strange? I really made all the ministers laugh. I have never read any sage books, so naturally I never speak evil words behind my back."

After saying that, Li Jiang excitedly walked to Ying Zheng carrying the newly made paper.

"Your Majesty! It's done!"

Ying Zheng watched in amusement as one of these ministers performed Bashu stunts and Sichuan opera face-changing for him.

"Your Majesty, give it a try?"

If it is really successful, it means that these bamboo slips can be discarded next time and continued to be improved to make paper.

In the future, those books can be quickly printed on paper, so there is no need to pull several carriages of books once you take office.

"Your Majesty, I have never seen this so-called paper. Can you let us..."

"You haven't seen a lot of things, and yet I let you see them all. Who are you?"

Li Jiang frowned and turned around and said angrily: "Just think that I, a witch, is dead. I haven't made the paper. You won't use it in the future. Can you have some ambition?"

"Ask, you are a child, you ask everything!"

After Li Jiang finished talking about Li Si, he looked at Ying Zheng again: "Your Majesty, give it a try? If it works, I will work harder to improve it."

Ying Zheng nodded, but neither comforted Li Si nor reprimanded Li Jiang.

He picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, paused for a moment, and then solemnly wrote two words on the paper: unity.

【instant noodles. 】

"There's still some loose ink."

Li Jiang observed the paper carefully and waited for the ink on the paper to dry before picking it up and showing it to the ministers.

The ministers were a little shocked when they looked at the paper in Li Jiang's hand and the two words on it.

Impossible, impossible, how could the leaves turn into silk cloth?

Li Si couldn't believe it, and still gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, this may be Li Jiang's evil words to deceive the public. Don't be deceived by her, this may be silk cloth!"

"How could the leaves turn into something like this!"

Li Jiang ignored Li Si who was jumping up and down and walked to the ministers.

"Master Wang Wan, look at this paper. Is it good?"

Wang Wan stretched out her hand and touched it carefully. She was shocked. It felt completely different from silk cloth!

He looked surprised and his eyes were shining: "As thin as cicada wings!"

Li Jiang walked up to Feng Quji and Feng Jie: "Two adults, this is not some kind of silk cloth, is it?"

The two ministers had already invested in the company, although they really couldn't stand Li Jiang's habits.

But the two of them had always been advocating, and they had never attacked Li Jiang with too strong words.

The two of them stretched out their hands and touched the dry ink stains emphatically, feeling both shocked.

From this moment on, the two of them agreed with Ying Zheng's words. Li Jiang was indeed very talented.

"It's as light as a feather and as thin as a cicada's wing. The ink dries quickly and doesn't smudge, which is really rare."

Feng Quji already liked painting, but now that this paper appeared, how could he not like it?

"Master Zhao."

Li Jiang naturally did not forget Zhao Gao, who was always happy to praise him.

"Master Zhao, look at the paper made from leaves by me, an illiterate person who is not as knowledgeable as you."

Li Jiang walked up to Zhao Gao and kept showing this piece of paper: "Look, isn't this just a fantasy?"
