Li Zhen came to the trough and saw Wang Wei taking his eleven-year-old eldest son Da Dan and ten-year-old second son Erdan to step on the material.

Wang Ju's second sister-in-law is at home with children, and there are two daughters and a son behind her, and the fatal second sister-in-law has a big belly.

Even Li Zhen was a little dumbfounded, how many children do you want to have? It's not a big family, some big families also have a lot of children, Guan Jian is not a wife alone, and there are children born by concubines.

Li Zhen can't be in a hurry.

However, Wang Wei is the second uncle of his brother-in-law, so he had to take care of it, so he said: "Second uncle, you let the big and the second egg come down, they are still young, and it is the time to study." ”

"Da Lang, it's okay, I'll let them read too, and let them know a few words with Xiao Nianzi and them in the time."

Xiao Nianzi they are a few teenagers brought by Wang Ju from Wangjiazhai, Wang Ju let the sword profits out, let the village invite a private school professor, and then put some books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and the children in the village have a place to study.

In ancient times, you also had to be literate, just like Wang Wei was illiterate, and when he came to Hangzhou, Li Zhen couldn't take care of it if he wanted to, so he had to let him take the lead and take everyone to do rough work.

However, they have only studied for one year in the year of the king, and in that environment, how many words can they read?

Li Zhen frowned, there are private schools on the other side of the mountain, don't look at this is a mountainous area, but Hangzhou has education, in addition to state and county schools, private schools are everywhere, and when Li Zhen arrived in Hangzhou, he felt the backwardness of Yanzhou's education.

But the age of the big egg and the second egg is a bit fucked, it's not small to say it's small, it's not big to say it's big, Wang Wei has to work, his wife is pregnant again, and she goes to school on the other side of the mountain, who will pick her up?

He thought for a while and said, "That's it, the affairs are busy in the first half of the year, you let the big and the second egg come to the city, I will buy a small house in Fuyang, and then I will let them go to the private school." ”

"Da Lang, then what's so embarrassing?"

"It doesn't matter, Wang Ju is my brother-in-law, you are Wang Ju's second uncle, that is, my second uncle."

After Li Zhen finished speaking, he went to the other side.

That's the home of a few papermakers.

I invited several papermakers, who are also more famous papersmiths in Yuezhou, Hangzhou, and provided high salaries, the highest one has a salary of 500 yuan a year, and the less one has 300 yuan a year. Hangzhou is rich and has high prices, but this annual salary is amazing. And there is also a promise, that is, once it is officially put into production, it will take out 5% of the deed shares to be distributed to these papermakers.

This is technology shares, otherwise with that sky-high liquidated damages, it may not be able to tie people, and even the law can be broken in this era, let alone the contract.

Don't underestimate this five percent, if it is managed properly, it is also a lot of income, plus a high salary, then people can stay, and technology can be kept without leakage.

As for ordinary workers, that is not a big problem, Wang Ju only pointed out a few key steps, but after the improvement of these papermakers, clinker paper has become more than 40 steps, raw paper has also become nearly 30 steps, as long as the various links are disassembled, these workers do not know why.

Several papermakers are discussing.

Wang Ju just gave the main steps, but there are still details. These details also need to be taken care of.

Seeing Li Zhen coming, they all stood up and said politely, "I've seen Da Lang." ”

"What are you discussing?"

"Da Lang came at the right time, we are discussing one thing, the biggest disadvantage of the new paper is toughness."

There are several factors to the quality of paper.

The first element is that the ink absorption capacity is moderate, and the ink can not be soaked or astringent, which can be convenient for writing, printing and painting.

The second is color, now the most color of paper is yellow, followed by white, as well as gray, Chu, pink, vermilion, grass green, blue...... The most famous is the letterhead made by Xue Tao, a famous prostitute in the Tang Dynasty, with ten colors such as crimson, pink, and bright yellow, but this doesn't matter, the most important thing is that the color should be bright and bright, not look shabby.

The third is resilience.

Of course, good paper should also be resistant to aging, not easy to change color, less moth-eaten, and because it cannot be called 100% pulp now, there will be fibers floating on the paper, which is what the literati call the texture, and the texture of good paper should also give people a beautiful feeling.

But these are all secondary.

No matter how bamboo paper is improved, the toughness is definitely not as good as hemp paper, or even rattan paper, unless Wang Ju has the ability to advance the papermaking process by a thousand years at once.

So a few papermakers wanted to add some rattan and hemp skins to the new paper.

White rattan paper has appeared in the Song Dynasty rattan paper, which can be added to clinker bamboo paper. Wang Ju also gave it a nice name, jade button paper. In fact, the jade button paper in later generations is raw paper......

Hemp can be added to raw paper, which is the gold paper named by Wang Ju.

Theoretically possible.

For example, at the peak, the main raw materials of rice paper were sandalwood bark and straw, but a small amount of bark, mulberry bark, bamboo and hemp were also added. Even some famous hemp paper in the Song Dynasty also added ingredients such as tree bark, mulberry bark and dragon beard grass.

Why is paper expensive, one is that these fibers are coarse, although the toughness has, so the paper is thick, and secondly, the cost of raw materials is high, like hemp can only be used hemp skin, hemp poles are useless, rattan can only be used rattan bark, think about how low the efficiency of carrying and cultivating green rattan is, how much rattan skin can be taken from a pound of green rattan.

However, adding a small amount of rattan and hemp skin will not increase the cost much.

The toughness of this link is improved, and the biggest disadvantage of bamboo paper disappears.

But in practice, there will be many new processes, and if the process is not perfect, then one plus one is not equal to two, and maybe it will be less than one.

Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "Yes, but I must see the mature new paper this year, and it must be able to sell next year, even if it will slowly improve in the future." ”

"Dalang, don't worry."

Li Zhen talked for a while, then went back and asked Wang Wei, "Do you have any letter to bring back?" ”

"Da Niu, is he okay?"

"Fortunately, a letter from Yanzhou said that Zhang Gong went to Weizhou to serve as a Weizhou judge."

"Zhang Gong has been promoted?"

"He is a world-famous Confucian, and promotion is inevitable. I heard some students in Hangzhou talking about Zhang Gong. ”

"Where's the big cow?"

"He asked Cheng Gong to go back to Yanzhou Prefecture to study for a while, and planned to participate in the Autumn Festival this year."

"So fast? He was still young. ”

"It's not small, I believe that this level of Qiu Yu will not be too difficult for him."

"Then you tell him, if you win, you must go to the ancestral grave, I am far away here, don't leave the ancestral grave deserted."

…………

The Li family put Li Zhen in Hangzhou, which is actually a kind of training. Previously, it was mainly research, although it cost a lot of money, but the management difficulty was not too high, just for Li Zhen to temper, and in the past two years, he could deal with local officials and lay the foundation for the official production in the future.

The Li family is like this, and so is the Zhu family.

In the same year that Qin Zhixian had a good friend, Cai Zhixian made it difficult for the salt workshop, but the problem was not big, so Zhu Huan asked Zhu Jun to deal with it, which was also a kind of training.

Zhu Jun arrived in Huayin, and then sent someone to invite some deeds with background, and asked them to send a steward over, I put pressure on you not to give face, but the big guys put pressure together, do you give this face?

There is another way, to make trouble to Huazhou Prefecture, to Jingzhao Mansion, to find the transfer envoy Xue Xiang, and to find He Tan, the Zhiyongxing Army.

Everyone is dead and the net is broken, fine salt bought more than 30,000 salt bills last year, is Xue Xiang in a hurry? And He Tan is an upright old minister. But that is not beautiful in the end, and it is best to solve it within Huayin.

At this time, the little lang of the Lu family sent someone to send an invitation, saying that he had set up a house in Huayin and wanted to invite Zhu Jun to be a guest.

If Wang Ju is here, he will not pay attention to it, and now the income of fine salt only brought to the imperial court will be nearly 200,000 guan a year, although it is not much compared to the income of nearly 10 million guan in the entire Song Dynasty, but it cannot be regarded as a small amount. The combined profit of its production and sales is almost more than 300,000 yuan, which is only pure profit, and the gross profit is even more amazing. This chain of interests is that the governor of Huazhou is not easy to move, why should he give face to this Lu family man?

If he doesn't know each other again, Wang Ju has the means to make that Lu Zhixian and Cai Zhixian immediately return to their hometowns.

But Zhu Jun is not Wang Ju.

He also knew that behind Cai Zhixian's troubles was Qin Zhixian, and behind Qin Zhixian was this Lu family man, but the nerdy spirit had not completely changed, so he went.

Let's see what the Lu family has to say.

He also wondered, the Lu family is in Xia, and Kou Zhunnai is the same township, why did he come to Huayin to buy a house?

It's a strange head, at this time, when you come to Huayin to set up a house, it is menacing, can there be any good things?
