Chapter 178 Papermaking(1/2)

This kind of thing is definitely not possible for a while.

After the craftsmanship improvement by Cai Lun, the regular servant at that time.

In the rest of the Han Dynasty, many places already had paper-making workshops.

It's just because the raw materials used and some processes are not complete enough.

The paper produced at this time was not yet capable of replacing cloth and bamboo slips.

The processing is difficult and the quantity produced is rare.

As a result, the price of paper is much more expensive.

And the quality of paper in this era is still a bit lacking.

There are high-quality papers, but they are just like the high-quality craftsmanship.

If you want to make paper like that, it will take a lot of effort.

Evenly divided into costs, it is something that ordinary people cannot afford to consume.

What Qin Yu wants to do now is to upgrade the entire set of methods that can quickly produce paper in the current productivity environment.

If you want to make paper, the choice of raw materials is very important.

In the past, Cai Hou used raw materials such as bark, hemp heads, rags, and fishing nets to make paper.

Paper is successfully produced after a series of processes such as rolling, pounding, frying, and baking.

However, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, papermaking technology continued to innovate.

At this stage, cloth and bamboo slips have been completely eliminated.

In addition to the original hemp and mulberry, the raw materials for papermaking have also expanded to include mulberry bark, rattan bark, etc.

It is naturally impossible for Qin Yu to know these things.

But he didn't know, and it didn't stop the craftsmen in the paper-making workshops from not knowing.

Besides, what Qin Yu needs now doesn't require him to find a professional craftsman.

As long as he copied Cai Lun's paper processing method and upgraded it using the system, there would naturally be no problems.

As for the glass…

He needs to think about this matter carefully.

If you have no choice but to find some very powerful experts in the handicraft industry to help him with research and development.

It is not necessary to be able to study the complete process of making glass.

Just research a semi-finished product.

By reducing the number of fragments required to upgrade this manufacturing process, Qin Yu can directly upgrade it.

After having such a plan in mind.

Qin Yu immediately returned to Jiyang County to look for Feng Ji and Lou Gui.

After hearing that Qin Yu needed the method of making Caihou paper.

Lou Gui agreed without hesitation.

The method of making Caihou paper is not a secret.

For aristocratic families like them, it is conducive to passing on family knowledge and monopolizing knowledge.

They are all very caring.

Although not every wealthy family has a papermaking workshop.

But back then, the craftsmanship of Caihou Paper was widely promoted to the world.

Naturally, they all included a copy.

It was just a matter of taking this production process from home and dedicating it to Qin Yu.

This kind of thing is not at all difficult.

However, after Lou Gui saw that Qin Yu was very interested in the craftsmanship of Caihou paper, he couldn't help but give advice.

"Sir, although the craftsmanship of Caihou Paper is wonderful, it not only makes the paper very slow, but also makes it difficult to preserve after it is made."

"Compared with those papers, it is not as convenient as silk writing and bamboo slips."

"But if sir, you want better paper, I know someone."

"The man's name is Zuo Bo, and he is from Donglai County. The Zuo Bo paper he made is excellent, easy to write on, and is sought after by many scholars."

"If you need it, sir, I can visit you personally and ask for paper for you."

Lou Gui can be regarded as risking his life.

Qin Yu saw Lou Gui asking for help. He smiled and waved his hands and said, "That's not necessary. Uncle Zi only needs to bring me Cai Hou's papermaking technology."

Seeing Qin Yu's firm attitude, Lou Gui said nothing more.

He went straight to take the order.

"Maybe sir, you just want to see what this paper-making technology is like?"

Lou Gui thought to himself.

He didn't think that Qin Yu really wanted to make Caihou paper by using the method of making Caihou paper.

If it were really done, it would be a blatantly thankless act.

It's really not necessary.

After that, Qin Yu went to look for Feng Ji again.

Let him post documents in Jiyang County to recruit skilled craftsmen from the private sector.

If you have talent, you will be rewarded.

Feng Ji also accepted the order and went.

After finally arranging everything.

Qin Yu felt a little free.

Jiyang County is close to Wancheng.

Nanyang County is also a county with a large population. There are nearly 10,000 households in Jiyang County alone.

This statistical data does not include the household registrations of those local powerful people in Jiyang County who are hiding in their names.

After Qin Yu took office.

All these people in Jiyang County are very obedient.

It didn't cause any trouble for him.

Qin Yu felt that this might have something to do with the things he had done in Luoyang, and the fact that he now held the title of saint, and was still the Marquis of Guannei named by Liu Hong.

But the greater relationship, he felt, was due to Feng Ji and Lou Gui.

The Feng family and the Lou family are indeed not ordinary aristocratic families in Nanyang County.

In a place like Jiyang County, they naturally have their family business.

Moreover, some of the officials in Jiyang County are members of the two aristocratic families.

Although it provided Qin Yu with great convenience.

But after roughly knowing the impact that a behemoth like the Aristocratic Family will have on a political power in the later period.

Qin Yu still feels that this approach is unsustainable.

Open the door to the world widely, give those children from poor families a space for advancement, and let everyone under your command live a good life.

This is what Qin Yu feels is the path to sustainable development in this era.



"Then Qin Yu wants to recruit skilled craftsmen? What is he planning to do?"

It took less than two days for Qin Yu's documents to be sent to Jiyang County.

The aristocratic families in Luoyang and the aristocratic families in Nanyang County have already heard the news.

Obviously, they couldn't understand Qin Yu's operation.

"Want a craftsman? Okay, then send him some. I want to see what Qin Yu wants to do."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The same order appears among different aristocratic families.

Among them, Yuan is naturally the leader.

Many people from the big families in Jingxiang have also started to think about it.

Afterwards, Jiyang County inevitably became lively.

In Wancheng, Prefect Chu Gong naturally received the news.
