It is not difficult to make paper, but it is difficult to make it well.

Although Zhenguan Nian no longer uses Caihou paper, but the tribute paper is too expensive, basically except for the level of Gonghou and Wumen Qiwang, the rest of the small landlord families will never waste money on paper.

Accumulating articles is the normal state of the current poor scholars, and even if they are bamboo slips and wooden slips, they have to borrow them from the solid people in the state capital.

There are countless people who have tried to reduce the cost of papermaking, not to mention the five doors and seven hopes, and all the blood of Confucius has never thought of improving the production process of paper.

However, it is of no avail.

Because the difficulty in making paper is not the technique, but the material. The large barrel used to cook plant fibers needs to be placed in an iron pot, and the manufacturing process of the iron pot made the blacksmiths of the early Tang Dynasty say: What is this special thing?

Then there are the working hours, there is no hydraulic forging hammer, and if you only rely on manpower to beat the plant fibers, not to mention logs, even bamboo, you have to knock for a few days. Then the alkalinity of the alkaline slurry is not enough, and the softening time is at least three days. Moreover, the selected grass ash has not been screened, and the yield rate is uneven.

And Zhang De didn't go to the Hetao just to get along with the sheep, in addition to the hemp, there were also alkali artemisia seeds growing on many saline-alkali lands in the Hetao.

After this thing is put for a thousand years, it must be a treasure, and when it is put in the year, it is a weed that even sheep are too lazy to gnaw.

But this weed is a sacred object, a raw material for making good alkaline soil, and before the industrialization of food, it belonged to the perfect partner of the people in the north to improve the taste of pasta.

Now, it's a powerful tool in the papermaking process.

Therefore, after having a hydraulic forging hammer, an iron pot, and high-quality alkaline soil, before making soap for the Datang macho men to pick up, the high-quality white paper suddenly thickened at the moment of need.

"Why do you still make paper?"

Kong Saijiu's eyes were very sad and angry, his hand was tightly clutching the small piece of paper, and then Yu Shinan next to him drank tea calmly, and Tang Jian looked at Zhang De with a kind face.

There was no way, Li Jing didn't care about his life and death, and he was still playing tricks in the Turkic sweat tent at that time. As a result, the entire Tang Army, Zhang Gongjin alone persuaded Li Jing not to do it first, and his own people.

As a result, Pharmacist Li said that auspicious people have their own natural appearance, and the mad Tang army with a roar killed him. The subtext of Jiren's own heavenly appearance is: life and death have life, and wealth is in heaven......

So whether Tang Jian is in Hebei or Guanzhong, he will say when he meets people: Pharmacist Li's mother has a very good time!

Anyway, the two families don't get along with each other anymore, so much care.

"Kong sacrifice wine, don't worry if I can make paper."

Zhang De smiled.

"Say, what do you want?"

Kong Yingda was very sad and angry, the young man in front of him was definitely a scum, but ...... But why can't you control your hands and hold the small pieces of paper tightly?

It's all to blame Lu Deming, show him what great merits!

"This is a sharp weapon for promoting culture and education, not owned by me, or even owned by the Holy Teacher."

Lao Zhang sent out a tall hat, but Lao Kong didn't take it, no way, his ancestors were so awesome.

"Speak human words!"

Old man Lu couldn't bear it anymore and glared at him.

Kong Yingda's eyes were horizontal: What do you mean? The old man's ancestor is the most holy teacher, isn't it human words?

"This is a grand event, I don't know how many gentlemen, do you think so?"

"Yes, it is indeed a cultural and educational event."

Zhang De nodded, and then said: "Why don't you go to the court and make the Holy Ancestor the king?" ”

Kong Yingda frowned, a little confused what this was for.

Lu Deming was slightly stunned, then stroked his beard and pondered for a while and said, "The kid is really cunning, this is a merit for Your Majesty." ”

Smart man, no wonder it is the first cannon of Datang. Lao Zhang admired it very much, he could think of this trick, but he only relied on his previous experience when he was messing with the leader, and Lu Deming was the real brain.

The emperor gave Kong Sheng the title of king, and he always had to say something. The prosperity of culture and education is the best reason. Then with this name, the emperor put gold on his face, and after hundreds of years and thousands of years, he may not know that he Li Shimin's ravine turtle must have it. But I don't know if Kong Sheng's is definitely not. Then others asked, when did Kong Sheng become the king, and when he inquired, oh, it turned out to be Li Dong.

And after Li Dong finished pasting the gold, he could logically buy the Shuren Hanmen, and at the same time dig the foot of the wall to Wumen Qiwang, and it is reasonable and legal, how perfect.

As for why Lao Zhang didn't look for Wumen Qiwang, but for the Kong family and the southern scholars, it was because Haimao would need the endorsement of these southeastern families in the future. And these families have a political halo on their heads in order to be invincible.

If you insult me, you insult Kong Sheng, you can look at it.

How scientific, how reasonable......

Kong Saijiu also understood, and then the more he looked at Zhang De, the more unpleasant he became: "The way of the merchants, Xiao Daoer." ”

"What Confucius said is very true, this is a small way, and the gentleman does not do it. However, I am a villain, and the villain is profitable. ”

With a smile, Zhang De said to Kong Sai Jiu again, "There is another trivial matter, which must also be helped by Kong Sai Jiu." ”

"What's the matter?"

Lao Kong wanted to kill him.

"In the future, Guozijian, give me a name, and I won't go to study for a while......"

The implication is that Lao Tzu can just go to your university and get a graduation certificate, what do you think?

"You!"

Kong Saijiu was furious, how could he ...... such a thing as stealing chickens and touching dogs? Forget it, trifle.

"Thank you for the wine."

Lao Zhang smoothly mixed up with the diploma, and occasionally went to Guozijian to paddle, and it was good to meet people who said who was Lao Tzu's classmate, are you afraid? Just ask if you're afraid!

"Da Lang, what is the name of this blank paper?"

"After Kong Sheng is crowned king, I will make a decision, don't worry."

Zhang De said, and said, "In half a month, a batch of papers will come out, and a few gentlemen will take some back first." It would also be good to hold a cultural meeting at that time. ”

Several old men were all eye-catching, there is no doubt that at least in the short term, this is a weapon of coercion. When the time comes, a vote of literati and ink writers, the kind with a unique identity, just sit down at the master's house and stuff a knife of blank paper, and then say: Brother can write hard, not enough!

The Psalms remain, and that is Mobao. After waiting for another half a year, the white paper was only sixty or seventy at once, and the forced grid hit the ground directly without grade.

You have to grab the headlines when you make big news.

"Da Lang has a heart."

Tang Jian looked at him with a smile, and then said, "Recently, you and Zhang Liang, I don't know what will happen next?" ”

"It's a trivial matter, it's too late for Gong Yan to thank me. As for Your Majesty, when the anger is gone, it will be over. ”

"You're free-spirited."

Tang Jian pointed at Zhang De.

Zhang De is calm: "Now that the price of rice has fallen again and again, it can be seen that the harvest in various places is excellent, the people are rich, and they are naturally stable." Your Majesty is naturally a little less worried, between me and the Duke of Yanguo, it is nothing more than a battle between the nobles and nobles, a small matter of small things, if Your Majesty is too concerned, how can there be such a great rule? ”

As soon as the words fell, someone came from outside.

"Tang Gong, the young secretary of Dali Temple ordered the man from Liangfeng County to ask questions."

A group of old men looked at each other, and then looked at Zhang De with an embarrassed face, all of them with a look of self-righteousness.

Damn, do you want to slap your face so quickly? How can there be such a thing!
