Chapter 265 Paper Mill
Lu Songlichao and Lu Songyun and Lu Songyun, who had never spoken, looked at them.
"The second thing is that I want to build a papermaking shop, and I need your help from my elder brother, sister, and brother."
Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Songyun were both stunned. Unexpectedly, there was something else about them in it?
"Second sister, this papermaking technique is the secret of the four masters, you-"
Lu Songli raised her hand, she knew what he meant, and papermaking was monopolized by the four masters.
Dali is very similar to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties she knew before. At this time, bamboo slips and silk had withdrawn from the stage of history, and paper officially became the main writing material.
Thanks to the further improvement of papermaking technology, the Dali Dynasty's paper application range was wider and its output was greatly improved.
The more famous paper products nowadays include hemp paper, Zuobo paper, silver gloss paper, etc., which are mastered by the four major families in Dali.
Among them, hemp paper is of moderate price, which is popular among the public and is most widely used.
Lu Songli decided to run a school, first, because she felt it was very necessary, and second, she felt it was very possible.
Many of the talents nowadays come from nobles, and it is difficult for poor families to produce noble children. Such talents are actually very constrained.
The gentry class monopolized the spread of books and curbed the number of talents in poor families.
Children from aristocratic families gain knowledge through a lot of reading, improve their talents, and become officials. Knowledge resources have become an insurmountable gap between the aristocratic families and poor children.
The second is the monopoly of papermaking technology. Paper is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it. Reading and literacy is only affordable by wealthy families, and ordinary people are not qualified at all.
There is a reason why these two aspects are difficult for poor families to have noble children.
Lu Songli knew that if you want to start a school, books were essential, and in addition, you had to pay the price of paper. Otherwise, the people would not be able to afford to go to school.
Since she knew that exile was inevitable, she had already begun to collect books consciously, but at this moment she still didn't have enough books, which was not as large as the number of books collected by those big families. Then collect them slowly.
As for paper prices, it’s easy. They just need to set up a paper mill by themselves.
And she also has a killer weapon - printing.
Woodblock printing was invented in the Tang Dynasty and movable type printing was invented in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Dali did not have printing.
Wait for the right time before using it.
"I can get the prescription, but you need to keep experimenting." Lu Songli said to Lu Mingzhi.
When Lu Mingzhi heard this, his eyes widened. It was amazing that my sister, you can get this secret recipe for papermaking.
This is not a difficult task for Lu Songli. She has also learned in-depth knowledge of the four great inventions in China and has learned about their development process.
"Okay, leave this to me! I'll test it!" He happened to be interested.
"Brother and sister, you are responsible for managing this papermaking workshop. As for who you are in charge of which, you can discuss it, can you do it?"
Lu Zhiyuan and his wife looked at each other and agreed.
Lu Songyun hesitated. She was worried that she would not do well, and she also expressed her concerns.
Lu Desheng glanced at her, "If you don't know anything, just learn. As long as you can't learn, learn to death!"
At a glance, you can tell that the little daughter was deliberately pulling out a few brothers and sisters, but the eldest daughter refused to try it. How could the little daughter pull her?
Lu Songyun was gently patted by her husband on the shoulder before she responded, "That's OK, I'll give it a try."
After the matter was finished, Lu Songli picked up the tea and took a sip.
When Lu Desheng knew that his daughter had something to say, he let the other children part and let them think about the papermaking workshop.
Sister-in-law Tian stood up a little crampedly. She glanced at Lu Songli a few times, and she was a little reluctant to speak. In the past few days, she felt emotional and was really too cold to her younger sister.
Lu Zhiyuan stepped forward and pulled her away, "Let's go."
Tian nodded softly.
Lu Zhiyuan sighed in his heart. He knew why his wife was like this.
At first, my wife didn't understand why her father was willing to give up on the censor and put him out of Chang'an to Houcheng, a place where birds do not shit, to be a small county magistrate. She valued her parents so much,
I have ideas in my mind.
He knew that his wife was just an ordinary woman and she liked a stable life. Because of her parents' decision, she was filled with resistance to foreseeable difficulties and uneasiness about the unknown, and it was inevitable that she had emotions.
Who knew that his father was promoted not long after he took office.
My mother said that the credit was planned by my younger sister for her father.
Now my sister has taken them equally. Who doesn’t know that the papermaking workshop has been done well and has a bright future.
Lu Zhiyuan sighed in his heart. There must be a reason for his parents to decide to leave Chang'an, but they just couldn't understand it. Moreover, no matter what decisions his parents and younger sister made, they did not hurt them, nor did they let them go.
Suffering and suffering.
He thought that in the future they would be obedient and would do as they told their parents and their younger sister if they didn't understand their decisions and actions.
"Your sister-in-law--"
"Dad, I won't talk about this anymore." Lu Songli didn't care much about her sister-in-law's little emotion.
They are her elder brother and sister-in-law, and they still need to pull out what they should pull out. It is not her heart, the great Virgin Mary or something, but as leaders, they have to pay attention to their methods.
As the saying goes, buy a pig and look at the circle. Followers and those who plan to follow, before deciding to follow you, they will observe how the leader treats his relatives and subordinates. If the leader is too harsh and mean, it is not good.
reputation.
Lu Desheng was so satisfied with his little daughter that he couldn't be satisfied anymore.
"Dad, your son-in-law has sent a message to you to capture Heifeng Village in the southeast of Houcheng. Are you happy to hear this news?"
"So fast?" His son-in-law still seems to have some advantages.
"Yes, they are escorting people over at the moment. Dad, you have to ask someone to free up the county jail."
Lu Desheng nodded, "How is the harvest?"
Lu Songli smiled and said, "I heard it's good."
"That's fine. In this way, after the property found by the bandits is settled, 20% will be distributed to the son-in-law and their son-in-law as a reward. The remaining 80% will be charged to the county government treasury."
