Chapter 298

"Bai tan?"

Xu Ke was confused and didn't understand the relationship between Chongzhou's rich Bai Tan and her preference for Chongzhou.

"Well, don't underestimate this Bai tan." Jiang Pengji smiled and showed a soft color. "At first, my goal was not Chongzhou. But because of this Bai Tan, I changed my mind. If my father was named Chongzhou shepherd, many plans can start."

Jiang Pengji wants to interrupt today's knowledge inheritance system. The first problem is not facing the criticism of noble families, but the carrier of books.

Bamboo slips are bulky and expensive, so ordinary people can't support a scholar even if a few people work in a family for a lifetime.

Although bamboo paper is good, it also has some disadvantages.

The annual output of paper mills is limited. In addition to the scarcity of materials, it is necessary to control the output. Another reason is the limited raw materials.

Hejian county is densely forested, but there are few bamboo forests. The quality of bamboo will also affect the quality of bamboo paper.

In terms of transportation in ancient times, if you want to save costs as much as possible, you need to make materials locally.

Therefore, most of the bamboo paper produced by the paper mill is sold to aristocrats of various families, and the other part is for their own use, which has never been expanded.

Jiang Pengji's ambition is not limited to this. The output of bamboo paper can not meet her needs. Naturally, she has to find another way.

Bai Tan is the wood that Jiang Pengji searched all kinds of wood and found the closest to the green sandalwood tree.

The audience in the live studio said that they used rice paper in ancient times, and one of the raw materials of rice paper is green sandalwood.

"Bai Tan is hard and dense, with strong toughness and wear resistance. It can make solid and durable farm tools, furniture and axles. Its stem skin and branch skin are more useful..." Jiang Pengji whispered and wrote a word on the table with her fingers.

Paper!

Xu Ke's mind understood that his eyes seemed to brighten several times, "seriously?"

Jiang Pengji nodded.

The technology of making bamboo paper in papermaking workshop seems to be mature. Even if you change a raw material, you can make new paper after testing for a period of time.

Cheap raw materials and mature technical support mean that the cost of new paper will be much lower, at least cheaper than now.

Xu Ke rubbed his hands excitedly. At the thought of bamboo paper, he could buy a lot at a low price. His heart and liver were trembling, "... But if Chongzhou accidentally fell into the hands of others... At that time, it's not enough to plan..."

Jiang Pengji said, "so we need to talk to our father about this, try our best to find a way to operate, and win Chongzhou openly."

According to the current situation, there is no difficulty in winning Chongzhou. I'm afraid there will be an accident on the way.

"This matter really needs to be discussed with the master."

Xu Ke took a few deep breaths and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Born in a civilian family, no one knows better than him how difficult it is to read and write.

If his master were not a good man and pity Xu Ke's talent, according to his family situation, there would be no possibility of reading at all.

If the man in front of him can really accomplish such a feat, he Xu Ke is willing to be an ox and a horse for this man all his life.

"Another thing." Jiang Pengji lowered her eyelids and got up. She took out the black and cyan box from a bookcase. There were several stacks of paper in it. It was drawn by Jiang Pengji herself. She unfolded it and put it in front of Xu Ke. "Look at this, what do you think?"

Xu Ke didn't know why. He looked at it carefully. He was a little confused and didn't understand his meaning.

However, the audience in the live studio understood.

Paper is not enough. Manual copying is too energy-consuming, so printing is essential.

[librarian]: anchor, do you want to do printing privately? Movable type printing or block printing?

[old driver Lianmeng]: it must be movable type printing, but block printing is better than movable type printing in some cases.

【 Lord of electric shock 】: I'm disappointed. I also want to see the anchor make a printing press. I didn't expect it was printing.

[aunt dining in the canteen]: Gee, a tall building rises from the ground. The anchor is only one person, no matter how powerful, and the world's science and technology is just that virtue. According to @ shock Lord, you should complain about why the anchor doesn't build a space aircraft carrier.

Paper and printing, these two things Jiang Pengji thought about long ago.

There is a workshop for making bamboo paper, and the technology is ready-made, so she only needs to consider how to save costs and choose appropriate raw materials.

As for printing?

Hehe, she only knows the printing press.

That thing belongs to a super old antique in her world. It's something living in history books. Where does Jiang Pengji know the parts, machinery and structure inside? Besides, even if she knows, the current material technology in the world does not support her manufacturing.

There is no way to get the printing press. Naturally, we can only retreat to the second place and choose a more stupid way.

Carve the words needed in the book in advance, and then typeset and print the font.

One or two books can't see anything, but if thousands of copies are printed, the efficiency is naturally different.

Xu Ke put down the drawing paper in a confused way, "Lang Jun, this..."

Jiang Pengji took out her private seal, printed it on the paper with a bang, and then raised her eyebrows at Xu Ke.

"Don't you understand?"

Xu Ke's brain flashed an aura and hurriedly picked up the drawing paper. The whole person was excited and didn't know how to react.

"It's not that simple. It's too early to get excited." Jiang Pengji shook her head and said, "at first I wanted to use clay as the font, but firing wastes time. I have to explore the composition of clay to avoid deformation of handwriting... If firing, I have to get a kiln..."

Xu Ke thought and said, "then look for other materials, copper, iron and wood..."

Using copper and iron as raw materials to make fonts costs a lot of materials. Wood is good, but it also has the trouble of deformation, moisture and moth.

Jiang Pengji lowered her eyelids and said, "Bai Tan is actually very good. It is not easy to produce insects. The texture is fine and the deformation will not be too severe. If you choose a dry place, the storage time should be longer... However, you still have to try to know the effect."

The key is that wood is cheap and carving will be easier.

Xu Ke nodded solemnly.

If these two things are done, without saying the empty words of immortality, they can at least benefit countless students eager to study.

Merit lies in the present and benefit in the future.

"Put it away. When we really stand firm, take it step by step."

Jiang Pengji got up and patted Xu Ke on the shoulder.

Liu she and other assessors need to review the examination papers in the heavily guarded place. He is the main assessor, supplemented by other assessors, score all the examination papers sealed with names, list [excellent], [medium] and [inferior] respectively, and then comprehensively calculate the scores of other items.

There are more than 100 scholars in total, so the work is not cumbersome.
