Li Zhen came to the material trough and saw Wang Wei taking his eleven-year-old son Dadan and his ten-year-old second son Erdan, who was stepping on the material.

Wang Ju's second sister-in-law is at home to take care of the children, and there are two daughters and one son behind her. The fatal second sister-in-law has a bigger belly again.

Even Li Zhen was a little stunned. How many children do you want to have? It’s not a wealthy family, but some wealthy families also have many children. It’s not a wife’s life alone, but also a child born to a concubine.

Li Zhen can't be anxious.

However, Wang Wei is his brother-in-law's second uncle, so he had to take care of him, so he said, "Second uncle, let the big and second union come down. They are still young, just when they are studying."

"Dalang, it's okay, I'll let them study too, and take the time to let them know a few words with Xiao Nianzi and others."

Xiao Nianzi and the others were the teenagers brought by Wang Ju from Wangjia Village. Wang Ju gave up the profit of swords and asked the village to hire a private school professor, and then put in some books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, so that the children in the village had a place to learn.

In ancient times, I had to read, just like Wang Wei was illiterate. When he came to Hangzhou, Li Zhen couldn't take care of him, so he had to let him lead everyone to do rough work.

However, Wang Nian and his team only studied for a year, and in that environment, how many words can they recognize?

Li Zhen frowned. There was a private school on the other side of the mountain. Although it was a mountainous area, Hangzhou's education was developed. In addition to the prefecture and county schools, private schools were everywhere. Only when Li Zhen arrived in Hangzhou did he feel the backwardness of Yanzhou's education.

However, Dadan Erdan is a bit fucked. He said he was young, but he was not young, but he was not young. Wang Wei wanted to work, and his wife was pregnant again. He went to school in the other side of the mountain. Who would pick him up?

He thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, the affairs have been cleared in the first half of the year. You ask Dadan Erdan to come to the city. I will set up a small house in Fuyang, and then I will let them go to a private school."

"Dalang, why are you so embarrassed?"

"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 again.

That was the residence of several papermakers.

Several papermakers were hired, and they were also more famous papermakers in Yuezhou, Hangzhou. They also provided high salaries, with the highest salaries of 500 trump cards a year, while the lowest salaries were 300 trump cards a year. Hangzhou is rich and the prices are high, but this annual salary is amazing. There is also a promise that once it is officially put into production, five percent of the contract shares will be distributed to these papermakers.

This is technology investment, otherwise the sky-high liquidated damages may not be able to tie up people. In this era, even the law can be destroyed, so don’t mention contracts.

Don’t underestimate this 5% of the money. If it is managed properly, it will be a considerable income. With a high salary, then people can stay and keep their skills without leaking secrets.

As for ordinary workers, that problem is not big. Wang Ju only pointed out a few key steps, but after improvements from these papermakers, clinker paper has become more than 40 steps, and raw paper has also become nearly thirty steps. As long as each link is removed, these workers don’t know why.

Several papermakers are discussing.

Wang Ju just gave the main steps, but there were details. These details must also be paid attention to.

When they saw Li Zhen coming, they stood up and said politely: "I have met Dalang."

"What are you discussing?"

"Dalang is coming just right, we are discussing one thing. The biggest disadvantage of Xinpao is its resilience."

There are several major factors in the quality of paper.

The first element is that the ink absorption ability is moderate, and the ink cannot be bleached or astringent, which is convenient for writing, printing and painting.

The second is color. Now the most common colors of paper are yellow, followed by white, and there are gray, turquoise, pink, vermilion, grass green, and beautiful blue... The most famous one is the letter paper made by Xue Tao, a famous prostitute of the Tang Dynasty. It has ten colors such as deep red, pink, and bright yellow, but this doesn't matter. The most important thing is that the colors must be bright and bright, and do not look worn out.

The third is resilience.

Of course, good paper must also be resistant to aging, not easy to discolor, and less insect-eaten. And because it cannot be called 100% pulp now, fibers will float on the paper, which is what literati call texture, and good paper textures should also give people a beautiful feeling.

But these are secondary.

No matter how much bamboo paper is improved, it will definitely not be as tough as hemp paper, or even as rattan paper, unless Wang Ju has the ability to advance the papermaking process a thousand years at once.

So several papermakers wanted to add some vine and erotic skin to the new paper.

White vine paper has appeared in the Song Dynasty vine paper, and it can be added to clinker bamboo paper. Wang Ju also gave it a nice name, jade buckle paper. In fact, the jade buckle paper in later generations was raw material paper...

You can add erectus to raw paper, which is the golden paper named by Wang Ju.

It is theoretically feasible.

For example, at its peak, the main raw materials were green sandalwood bark and straw, but a small amount of mulberry bark, mulberry bark, bamboo and hemp were added. Even some famous hemp papers in the Song Dynasty also added bauble bark, mulberry bark and dragon beard grass and other ingredients.

Why is paper expensive? First, these fibers are thick, although they have toughness, so the paper is thick. Secondly, the raw material cost is high. For example, hemp can only be used with hemp. For hemp rods, they can only be used with vines. Think about how low the efficiency is to carry green vines, and how much vines can be taken with a pound of green vines.

However, adding a small amount of vine and ermacao will not increase much.

With the improvement of toughness, the biggest disadvantage of bamboo paper will disappear.

But in practice, many new processes will be produced, and the process is not perfect. Then one plus one does not equal two, and maybe even less than one.

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

"Dalang, don't worry."

Li Zhen said for a while, then went back and asked Wang Wei: "Do you have any letters to bring back?"

"Is he okay with the big bull?"

"Fortunately, Yanzhou wrote a letter saying that Mr. Zhang went to Weizhou to serve as the Weizhou verdict."

"Mr. Zhang has been promoted?"

"He is a famous scholar in the world, and promotion is inevitable. I have heard students discussing Mr. Zhang in Hangzhou."

"Where is the big bull?"

"He asked Mr. Cheng to go back to Yanzhou Prefecture to study for a while and plans to participate in the autumn examination this year."

"So fast? He's still young."

"It's not too small. I believe that Qiuwei's level will not be too difficult for him."

"Then tell him that if you are defeated, be sure to go to the ancestral grave. I am far away here, so don't waste the ancestral grave."

…………

The Li family’s placement of Li Zhen in Hangzhou was actually a kind of training. It was mainly about research and development. Although it cost a lot of money, the management difficulty was not very high, which was just for Li Zhen to train. Moreover, in the past two years, we can deal with local officials well and lay the foundation for the future formal production.

This is true for the Li family and the Zhu family.

The same year that Qin Magistrate Qin made trouble for the salt workshop, but the problem was not big, so Zhu Huan asked Zhu Jun to go down to deal with it, which was also a kind of training.

Zhu Jun arrived in Huayin and sent someone to invite some background stocks to send their supervisors. If I put pressure on you, you can give face, but everyone will put pressure on you. Will you give face?

There is another way to go to Huazhou Prefecture, Jingzhao Prefecture, find Xue Xiang, and find He Tan, the zhi Yongxing Army.

Everyone was dead and broke the fire. Xiaoyan bought more than 30,000 yuan of salt last year. Is Xue Xiang anxious? Moreover, He Tan is a straightforward old minister. But that would not be beautiful in the end, and it would be best to solve it within Huayin.

At this moment, the young man from 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 visit.

If Wang Ju were here, he would not even understand it. Now the income from fine salt to the court will only bring nearly 200,000 yuan a year. Although it is not much compared to the income of nearly 10 million yuan in the entire Song Dynasty salt administration, it cannot be considered 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 interest is that the prefect of Huazhou is not easy to move. Why should I give face to the Lv family?

If Wang Ju no longer knows the truth, he will have the means to make the county magistrate Lu and Cai return home immediately.

But Zhu Jun is not Wang Ju.

He also knew that behind Cai County's difficulties was Qin County, and behind Qin County, the Lv family's Dalang was the one who had not completely changed his nerd's anger.

Let’s see what the Lu family Dalang wants to say.

He was still wondering, the Lu family was in Xiaqi and Kou Zhun was a fellow villager, so why did he come to Huayin to build a house?
