Chapter 75 Production of Paper

Chapter 75 After the pulp flows out, the workers in the production workshop turned on the switch on the bamboo tube and started to let the pulp flow on the prepared wooden screen, and then rinse it with water to allow the pulp to evenly cover the yarn net.

After they are all filled, they will be placed on the shelf next to them and dried for a while. In the entire workshop, more than 200 people do such things, and they can produce more than 200 large pieces of paper at one time.

Qin Huaidao stood there and looked at it. Basically, they could produce about 6 large pieces in one minute. These workers produced 1,200 pieces in one minute, about 7,000 pieces in an hour. But if they worked continuously for a day, they would only produce about 100,000 pieces!

"It's still too slow!" Qin Huaidao stood there and spoke.

The official of the Ministry of Works was staring at the paper that was already drying. This was not the last process. The last process was to push the racks into the greenhouse behind to dry. If it was dried naturally, I don’t know when I would have to wait.

"It's paper, this is paper!" The official from the Ministry of Works was very excited.

He had seen the papers brought by Qin Huaidao. Although they had not been dried yet, they could be seen that they were exactly the same and were very white.

"Liu Qiyun, this one has not been completely dried yet. After the entire car frame is filled, 200 pieces will be delivered to the greenhouse!" Qin Huaidao walked over with his hands behind his back and said to the official of the Ministry of Works.

"Duke Hu, please accept a bow from the subordinates!" The official stood there solemnly, bowing deeply at Qin Huaidao.

"No need to do this, please get up!" Qin Huaidao smiled and pulled Liu Qiyun up.

"Duke Hu, you don't know how difficult it is for poor children to study. I'm not hiding the story of Duke Hu. Before he was fifteen years old, he had never written a piece of rice paper on the paper. He was placed in it.

After leaving it for a whole year, I copied an article I thought was OK and sent it to my husband's house for his advice!

Duke Hu, in the future, the poor families in the world will not be useless. I represent the poor families. Thank you Duke Hu!" Liu Qiyun wanted to bow again, but he was still held back by Qin Huaidao.

"No need to do this. I am also sharing the worries of Your Majesty. I hope there are more and more scholars in the world!" Qin Huaidao grabbed him and said.

"Yes, Duke Hu is righteous!" the official said again.

"Okay, you can stare at this place. I want to go to other places to see!" Qin Huaidao said while patting his shoulder.

"Yes, please don't worry, Duke Guo!" Liu Qiyun nodded and said with his fists.

Qin Huaidao went to other workshops to watch, but he still felt that it was too slow and needed to increase the number of workers.

In fact, it is no longer slow now. 100,000 large pieces of paper are produced a day, which is equivalent to 2 million pieces of rice paper. This speed is quite amazing!

However, Qin Huaidao considered that he needed to print books later, this little paper was really not enough.

The reason why Qin Huaidao did not recruit so many people before was that he was still uncertain. Whether such a production process was possible now seems to be no problem, just add production workshops and workers.

Qin Huaidao turned around with his hands behind his back, and Li Chongyi and the others rode over.

"Hurry, Boping, huh!" They rushed in and shouted at Qin Huaidai, and immediately discovered that the workers were starting to give birth now!

"Already giving birth?" Fang Yizhi ran to the workers quickly and watched them work.

"Yes, it will take time from production to paper production, so I will arrange production first. When His Majesty comes, you will be able to see the finished paper appear!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said to the few of them.

"By the way, come with me quickly. Your Majesty is coming. We need to wait at the door!" Li Chongyi pulled Qin Huai and said, while pulling Fang Yizhi with one hand. Fang Yizhi is now attracted by the paper.

"Let's go, it's not easy for you to see. We will be watching this factory in the future!" Zhang Shenzheng also pulled Fang Yi and said.

"It's really paper, it's really paper. Have you seen it?" Fang Yizhi said to them excitedly.

"We are not blind, Your Majesty is coming!" Li Chongyi said to Fang Yizhi angrily.

Like his father, Fang Yizhi also looks like a weak scholar, but he really loves books as if he is alive. Now that he sees the paper coming out, how can he not be excited?

The other people were not so excited. They were all military generals and were all troublesome when they saw the book. They knew the effect of these papers after they came out, but they were not as excited as Fang Yizhi!

Qin Huaidao and his friends had just arrived at the gate of the paper mill, and His Majesty's carriage and a large number of civil servants and military generals came.

"I have seen Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao and others stood there, bowed to Your Majesty and said.

"Hahaha, Qin Huaidao, I have been looking forward to this news!" His Majesty opened the curtain very happily.

The eunuchs and guards next to him immediately surrounded him and helped His Majesty down.

"Your Majesty, the paper mill is already producing now, but the paper has not been fully produced yet. Just wait for Your Majesty and the ministers to come and send it to the greenhouse. In a quarter of an hour, you will be able to see the paper!" Qin Huaidao stood there and bowed to His Majesty and said.

The other ministers immediately got off the horse, especially Yuchi Jingde and others. Seeing the gate so clean and the gatehouse built, they couldn't help but nod. They had never been here since the paper mill!

"Let's go, my dear friends, let's go in and see what these kids have made the paper mill!" His Majesty said happily, and at the same time, he took Qin Huaidao's hand and walked forward.

"Your Majesty, I'd better follow you!" Qin Huaidao said a little embarrassedly.

He didn't expect that His Majesty would hold his hand.

"It's okay, let's go. If I see something I don't understand, I will ask you!" His Majesty pulled Qin Huaidao's hand and walked inside without letting go.

When they got inside, they found that it was very neat and blue bricks were laid on the surface. The key was that the houses were designed very beautifully.

There are blue brick houses with corridors underneath, and in the gaps in the distance, there are still a large number of workers working. Your Majesty doesn’t know what they are doing specifically?

"What are they doing?" His Majesty asked, pointing to the workers in the distance.

"Take the pulp out of the big pit and pass through the bamboo tubes. Your Majesty, look, there are all bamboo tubes there, connected to the workshop, and the workers start production in the workshop!" Qin Huaidao explained to His Majesty.

His Majesty nodded and found that the designs of many houses here looked very beautiful, but now he is still on paper.

When he arrived at the production workshop of the paper mill, His Majesty saw the workers holding a bamboo tube in their hands.

After the sieve was put down, they turned on the switch and let the pulp flow down. When it was almost done, they turned off the switch, then swayed the sieve in the water, laying the pulp flat. After they were done, they took it out and put it on the next rack, which was very fast.

"Are these machines designed by Boping?" Zhang Liang, Duke of Xunguo, asked Qin Huaidao in shock when he saw a large number of devices in the production workshop.

"Yes!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"Ingenious, really exquisite. Boping's attainment in studying things is not comparable to ordinary people!" His Majesty couldn't help but exclaim, and then went to the shelves and looked at the layers of white paper still in the basket.

"Isn't it possible yet?" His Majesty pointed at the baskets and looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"It's not enough, I still need to dry it. In fact, it's okay to put it outside to dry or dry it naturally, but it's so slow. After a car is filled, it will be sent to the back greenhouse to dry for about a quarter of an hour.

Your Majesty, there are still 20 pieces in this car, and it will probably take a while!" Qin Huaidao stood there and explained to His Majesty.

"Well, okay, okay!" His Majesty nodded in admiration.

And those civil officials all circled around the workers. They all saw that these were papers. Some of them had used Qin Huaidao's paper and already knew that this was done!

"Boping, your ability is probably unmatched by anyone in the Tang Dynasty. It is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to have talents like you!" The prince stood behind and said with a smile.

"I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Qin Huaidao immediately turned around and bowed to the Crown Prince.

"No need to be polite!" the prince waved his hand and looked at the workers.

"Sir, those car frames are already full. Are you going to send them to the greenhouse?" Liu Qiyun arrived next to Qin Huaidao and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Send it, has the greenhouse burned?" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"It's burned, it's been burning for a while!" Liu Qiyun replied.

"Then send it in!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

Soon, a worker who was responsible for pushing the carts pushed the carts and sent them to the greenhouse behind.

Your Majesty and the others are still watching the production of paper with great enthusiasm. Some ministers have already gone outside to see the pulp.

Especially those civil officials from aristocratic families, they were very attentive about how they produced it. They wanted to know how to produce paper by relying on those weeds and trees?

"Boping, let's go and accompany me outside to see!" His Majesty spoke and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Your Majesty, the weather is a little hot!" Qin Huaidao said quickly.

"I can't stand this little heat, I'm not that delicate!" His Majesty pointed at Qin Huai with his finger, and said with a smile.

Qin Huaidao also laughed, but he had not noticed Li Zhi yet.

Logically speaking, Cheng Chusi and the others could not notify Li Zhi!
