Chapter 90 Good Omen
"These are the best new papers... read the latest and most complete novels," said Mr. Li.
Bamboo is taken early, so it can only take tender bamboos in spring, and there are tender bamboos in summer, but they are not as tender bamboos in spring, unless the craftsmanship keeps up.
It’s good to make it out now, so where can we talk about craftsmanship keep up?
But it will take a long time to dry it.
Therefore, it was not until July that the new paper was delivered to Yanzhou City.
Wang Ju looked at five new papers.
There are two types of clinker paper, three types of raw paper. One is pure bamboo paper, and the other is bamboo paper made of a small amount of vine peel. Perhaps the whiteness is not as clean as the former, but its toughness is very good.
A type of raw material paper is also pure bamboo paper. Wang Ju first wrote on it with a pen, then pulled it with his hands and said, "No, it needs to be improved."
It can be used, but the toughness is still a bit poor.
There is also a kind of raw material paper with luster skin mixed in it. This is of good quality, but it is a bit thick.
The last one has the best quality, with rattan skin, luster skin, and other materials inside, and is very thin, but the process is more complicated. Although it is thin, the cost is a little higher than the second raw material paper.
“How much does it cost?”
"The lowest cost is the raw material paper you said that it cannot be used, which is between one tenth and one fifteenth of the same paper."
"I don't need to consider this for the time being, and I will gradually improve it in the future. Let's talk about the other four types."
"The second is this clinker paper, which is about one-seven or eighth of the same paper, and the second is this linen paper, which is about one-six or seventh of the same paper, followed by the last one-six or sixth of the same paper, and the last one-sixth of the same paper, which is about one-third or fourths of the same paper."
The cost is cheaper than the materials.
Think about it, how much hemp and vine skin can be harvested in a mu of land, not to mention that planting has to be costly.
But bamboo is different. There are countless bamboo mountains in the mountainous areas west of Hangzhou, and there is no need for planting costs. When tender bamboo comes up, the mountaineer can sell it for money. At most, the price is about the same as a spring bamboo shoot. Moreover, it is not just a skin, and the whole bamboo can be used after being cut off and the tail is removed. Moreover, the rivers are dense, and the transportation cost is also very low.
But there is no large-scale production, no one dares to say what the cost is.
However, Zhu Huan said again: "It's really cheap."
Once this cost is pushed out, what impact will this kind of paper have? He is a businessman, can he not know? The Song Dynasty was so big and there were so many scholars, how much paper would he have to use in a year?
Not only him, but the other eight other mentors who participated in bamboo paper were also gasping for excitement.
If Wang Ju hadn't been too young, someone would probably be able to lie on the ground and shout: "Wang Ju, you are our recreational parents."
Moreover, both of them had a plan in their minds. Once it was put into production, they might as well move their homes to Hangzhou. Hangzhou is good, so they can avoid suffering from staying in the border area.
"How about those three poems?"
"Xiao Su wrote a poem, Zhang Dun wrote a poem, that is, that is..." Zhu Huan said hesitantly.
"Take it for me to see."
Zhu Huan handed it to Wang Ju. Wang Ju looked at it and frowned. It seemed that the two of them had made great contributions to fifty gold, but they did not work hard, and wrote poems and essays perfunctorily. Even Zhu Huan could see that the poems and essays were written very carelessly.
However, Wang Ju thought about it and said happily: "It's okay, I guarantee that they will regret it after a while. I beg you to rewrite the poems."
Don’t the two of them want to make do with it? Then they will print them on the bamboo paper and then spread them to various states to study, ensuring that students and professors will scold them. Even such poems and essays are so embarrassed to print them on the bamboo paper and spread them everywhere?
How could Zhang Dun and Xiao Su be in a hurry at that time?
"What's wrong with Duke Wen?"
"He didn't agree."
It has nothing to do with money. The Wen family is also a big family, with enough money, and Zhu Huan sent people to pay 500 gold.
This is still the strange psychology of the scholars and officials, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce!
Just like Jiangdongli in the Tang Dynasty, how many people survived with its appearance, but that person knew the inventor?
"It's okay, you send someone to Duke Wen to tell you that once the bamboo paper is put into production, the workshop is willing to take out 10,000 yuan worth of bamboo paper every year and donate it to the Zhouxue County students in various poor prefectures and counties."
Someone immediately changed his face.
"Let me ask, did the officials make things difficult for you when you sold jade salt?"
"No one else makes things difficult for Cialke Cai."
"Why, the reason is simple. Every time you sell a stone of jade salt, you have to earn nearly two stale money for the court. Will the court make it difficult for officials to make things difficult for you? Only with a family can you have a country, and only with a country can you have a family. Think about the wars in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. You cannot donate all your property to the court. This kind of selflessness is almost rare for anyone to do, but you cannot ignore the country and try your best to pretend to this small house. That will not last long. Even Gao Shiqing from the Gao family is a suitable candidate."
"Besides, it is obvious that it is 10,000 guan, but this is the market price. I believe that the cost price in your hands will not exceed 5,000 guan. But then what do the ministers in the court view you? What do those beneficiary scholars think of you? What do the literati in the world view you? This is making money for conscientiousness, and the more you earn, the more you feel at ease!"
"Xiao Lang received the teachings," the few people bowed down.
"In addition, take out all these kinds of papers and give them free raw paper to various bookstores, especially Beijing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Chengdu, Ezhou, Quanzhou, Luoyang, Daming, Jiangning, Tanzhou, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou."
These are all megacities of the Song Dynasty. Needless to say, the capital city was gradually moving towards one million. Some of the other cities exceeded 500,000, and some were also moving towards 500,000. And most of them were areas with good economic conditions and developed education and printing industries.
Anyway, start running in the second half of the year.
"As for clinker paper, it is distributed to the state and major academies, and is mainly based on these cities."
Unlike donating, it is doing good deeds, and it is advertising, so the choice of location is exactly the opposite.
The main reason is the limitations of this era, such as the neglect of publicity. But as long as Wang Ju points come out and draws details, these people will do better.
For example, Wang Ju will not express his opinion on pricing, so Zhu Huan and the others will decide.
Mr. Meng said, "This is a good omen."
"What sign?"
"The bamboo paper comes out, I believe Xiaolang's thoughts have been settled."
Wang Ju nodded, don’t underestimate these kinds of bamboo papers. It is mainly based on Wang Ju’s idea, adding countless processes, and then combining these processes, procedures, materials, and materials through thousands of combinations, and then developing the results. The investment in the past two years alone has reached nearly 20,000 jin.
And we will continue to improve research and development in the future. Of course, bamboo paper will get better and better at that time.
At least in paper research and development, this is an epoch-making big move.
But can it be put into production immediately? It can also be considered a matter in Wang Ju's mind.
"The bamboo paper is completed and the autumn examination is about to be held. I think it is a good omen."
Meng Yuanwai is very interesting. His little pepper also went to Wangjia Village and had some ideas about Wang Ju.
But in the end, Zhu Huan proposed to the Li family for Wang Ju.
The Meng family must have had nothing to do with that time, but as Wang Ju became more and more outstanding, the Meng family regretted it to death, so they often pulled Zhu Huan and asked Zhu Huan to invite him to drink.
Although he was talking auspicious words at this time, Meng Yuanwai felt depressed. A cooked super fat duck watched it fly away.
"The future can be estimated, but not determined," Wang Ju said with a smile: "Maybe I can lose even the autumn examination."
This is a humble word, and you can't take it seriously. In fact, what Wang Ju thinks is, Cheng Kan has already expressed his opinion that he will not make things difficult for him. Can I fall down in a test? But Wang Ju dare not say anything about the Jie Yuan in Cheng Kan's heart.
On July 25th, the autumn examination in Yanzhou begins.
It was a bit early, but this date didn't matter to Wang Ju, although Cheng Kan was kind-hearted.
However, this examination is an extremely important level for Wang Ju. Can a carp jump over the dragon gate? This is the first leap!
ps: Thank you Xi Shufeng for 588, book friend 130307230848780 for 100 starting point coins
I made a big flip yesterday, and many book friends expressed concern, which moved me very much. In fact, it doesn't matter. I said more and told the editor that a brush to brush members may have been a taboo, haha, so I only gave a rubbish push this week, and the effect of the big flip was not very good. Otherwise, what I prepared yesterday was a crazier explosion. But this is also good. I have been typing for several years. I have always thanked everyone. I have said many times that you are not only my brothers and sisters, but also my parents of food and clothing. Since this is the case, I will update more public versions, just to repay everyone's support. I made a big flip this week, and there will be one every week in the future. Of course, it is impossible to have as many as yesterday. Thank you again for your collection, clicks, various tickets and rewards.
Chapter completed!
