Chapter 19 The exquisite heart is made like snow paper, and the slaves are lucky enough to perform thaumaturgy.
For someone with a delicate mind like Bi Gan, papermaking is actually quite simple. First, grind the fiber, wash it, filter it and press it again, and you're done.
Papermaking is just based on this step, making the paper delicate and soft, effortlessly.
Soon, the first batch of papers came out, and these papers were as white as snow and as light as silk.
He splashed ink and wrote down the secrets of papermaking on the paper: "Pulping, cooking, grinding, copying, drying..."
Jizi, who was hanging out with Bigan, was quite embarrassed. He was also someone who had seen papermaking.
Because of this, he also knew that papermaking was divided into many steps, so he expected that the first paper to be made should be dark yellow and rough, dyed with yellow tillers. The words written in papermaking were not counted.
Rough yellow paper especially suitable for writing.
This is also the task given to them by the King of Shang. Although it is rough, it is still very good for today. It is said that this kind of yellow paper is called Xue Tao paper, and it will take 1663 years from today to make this kind of Xue Tao paper.
The white paper given by the answering space, which is flawless and as light as cicada wings, is recorded in the book Papermaking Technique given by the answering space. It will take more than three thousand years to make it. In just five or six days, it takes less than three thousand years to make.
Did it come out? Directly spanning three thousand years?
Jizi watched Bigan write down the whole process of papermaking, and saw him complete the production of paper with his own eyes. As expected, the cost was extremely low, and there were many improvements over the original papermaking technology given to him by King Wucheng.
Bigan once again summarized the papermaking process in the simplest terms, trying to make Jizi understand it as quickly as possible.
"This papermaking thing is very simple. It only has four steps. First, soak the raw materials I wrote about, such as bamboo or wheat straw, or even some rags and fishnets, and boil them until they are degummed."
"The next step is to grind the cooked materials. The finer the materials are, the better the toughness of the paper will be. It's best to add some resin."
"The third step is to make paper, sieve out excess moisture from the material, and put the pulp into a container."
"The last step is to spread the slurry and dry it in the sun, then slowly peel it off and the white paper will be ready."
But Jizi was still shocked, not because it was too difficult for him to understand, but because it was too simple.
The materials used were all thrown on the ground and no one wanted them, and the papermaking tools were very simple to make. He even thought that even his stupid slaves could learn the entire manufacturing process.
"Congratulations to Uncle Wang for this great achievement. I'm afraid that Uncle Wang will have a place in the human race's holy temple in the future."
Jizi looked at Bigan with envy in his eyes.
Life is only a short hundred years, and it takes place in the blink of an eye.
Among those ministers in the imperial court who are loyal to the country, how many of them are not doing it for the sake of their reputation?
But now Bigan has really established a temple and said that he has been worshiped for thousands of years, and his reputation will last forever. It is even more certain that future generations will think of Bigan just by looking at the paper.
Looking back at myself, hey, I am so incompetent. Wait, I am also the one who witnessed the invention of papermaking. If I can gain some merit, wouldn’t it be...
Thinking of this, Jizi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Wang, I'm ready now and come with me to present this papermaking technique to your majesty!"
Bigan shook his head slightly and continued to write on other papers, perfecting the engineering and precautions for papermaking.
After a long time, he raised his head and handed a piece of white paper filled with words to Jizi, "No, I won't go. You can come in person."
"Brother Wang, this..."
Jizi was a little hesitant. Although he wanted merit and fame, he just wanted to hang around.
It occurred to me that Bigan was actually willing to give up the contribution of the skill to himself. Although everyone knew that Bigan was solely responsible for the papermaking process and he was the one who took the greatest credit, the mere donation of the skill was enough for the historians to make him famous in history.
"Brothers, why do you care about such a trivial matter? By the way, please give me a reward for your slaves." Bigan said with a smile.
In fact, many people don't know that in addition to being an important minister of the Shang royal family, Bigan also has another identity, that is, the largest slave owner of the Shang Dynasty. It is only because of the fact that the Shang prince dislikes slaves that he keeps a low profile.
But the slaves are always there. Although King Shang is not happy, Bigan is reluctant to dismiss such a huge number of slaves, because the role is still quite large. For example, the rapid progress of papermaking cannot be separated from the exhaustion of so many slaves.
Law.
But now that papermaking is successful, Bi Gan is destined to be famous in history. It is time to consider the king's likes and dislikes. Asking for rewards for slaves is the first step, not to mention that these slaves have also made great achievements.
Thinking of this section, Bigan said: "Brother Wang, go quickly, I still have something to do."
In fact, what Jizi saw was not really the first batch of paper, but the fifth batch after he made many improvements, and many interesting things were discovered during the production process.
I saw Bigan holding Shi Nie in his hand and pressing Shi Nie on a piece of white paper full of words.
Shi Nie is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: "Three hundred miles to the southwest is called the Mountain of Women's Bed. Its yang is made of red copper, and its yin is made of stone nirvana."
This stone nirvana is as black as ink and is considered a rarity in Chaoge. Bigan just got a batch out of curiosity.
When he was busy improving papermaking technology a few days ago, he discovered that this stone nirvana was extremely suitable for writing on paper, so he collected a lot of them.
Because there were too many, a servant dropped a piece of stone nirvana on the newly made paper, staining it all over the paper.
Bigan saw Shi Nie falling on the paper, and a big character faintly appeared, and he was deeply inspired.
The thing that carries the text can be a tortoise shell, a bamboo slip, a stone, or a newly made paper.
Then why can't things that write words have more forms? Maybe it can be written without using hands.
Jizi was surprised when he saw this object, because the light ink marks printed on the paper could actually vaguely see a large "Shang" character.
"Brother Wang, what is this..."
"I call this printing technology. It allows books to be copied without copying. You only need to press a button like mine to copy. However, it is still under research. Shi Nie does not seem to be very suitable for this technology. I will tell you about the success in the future.
Explain it." Bigan sighed.
"You have such a magical skill? Brother Wang is really a great minister of our Great Shang Zhongxing!" Jizi was dumbfounded and secretly frightened. If it is true as Brother Wang said, with the paper that can be easily made, and the ability to print out results at will
With hundreds or thousands of words of methods, wouldn’t that knowledge no longer be unique to noble ministers and even be spread throughout the world?!
He knew in his heart that King Shang had promoted the people and appointed slaves since he came to the throne. However, the slaves and people could not be reused. They could only do military work and could not be reused, so King Shang slowed down the matter.
, rarely mentioned again.
If there is such a technique, slaves and common people can also read and practice calligraphy. I am afraid that no one can shake the position of Brother Wang as the first minister of the Great Shang!
