Chapter 82 The most advanced workshop of Dahan Technology

After the surrounding wall changed from an earth wall to a white wall, the NuoDa courtyard became very industrial.

The layout of general workshops in the greater Han dynasty is different. Yunlang deliberately divided the papermaking workshop into four workshops.

The first workshop specializes in crushing raw materials, the second department cooks those papermaking raw materials, and the third department needs to take care of the rams in the water to paste the raw materials, and is responsible for bleaching the pulp. The fourth workshop only It is a real paper-making workshop. More than twenty servants skillfully collect pulp from the sink, and then paste them on the wooden board.

The workshop works well, and the connection between each process is very smooth. The biggest advantage of the workshop's process is that it is simple and feasible. The servants here do not need to learn a full set of processes, as long as they can do the process they are doing. Moreover, as long as the time is long, they will do their own simple craft to the extreme.

This makes perfect sense, and this is how refined operations in later generations do.

In this workshop where there are more people than machines, Yun Lang must admit that the working people are not spectacular when they work hard, and they are also very beautiful.

On weekdays, these servants do not wear tops for their work. Their beautiful bodies are actually appreciated by Yun Lang.

Today is not the case, no matter how hot the day is, they must also wear their clothes neatly, and they ca n’t take off even if they die.

The trouble with assembly line operations is that once it starts running, it cannot be stopped. If a link stops, a lot of materials will be wasted.

Gillian came to inspect the paper-making workshop, not to see the white wall and those appliances. She was to see how the raw paper-making materials turned into white paper.

In all fairness, although Gillian is very rare in paper, she has no interest in how to make paper. She insists that any good things in the world should appear in front of her for the first time, as long as she enjoys good things Just bring pleasure, how can you understand how good things are produced.

Even if you want to open a paper-making workshop, the housekeeper of the family will go to Yunlang for consultation. If you open the house, the housework will be successful, and the housework will be broken.

Therefore, Yun Lang believes that it is Liu Che who really depends on the papermaking workshop. He has the habit of pursuing the root of the problem, and only he has the habit of controlling everything in the world.

Sure enough, after Gillian arrived, he was accompanied by Song Qiao and others to go to the chapel on the edge of Weishui. After a while, he heard Gillian's request to play mahjong.

The ladies who had long waited for Gillian to arrive immediately prepared to give Gillian money. Such an opportunity was rare.

Liu Che was wearing a royal blue spring shirt and stood at the upwind, but his attention was not on the beautiful maidservants who came with the ladies, but on the white wall of the paper workshop.

With his finger pointing at the white wall, Yun Lang immediately explained: "The white is lime water. The paper workshop uses lime to bleach the pulp. The remaining white ash is used to paint the white wall. It ’s for neatness and beauty. "

"Go and see!"

Liu Che moved, and immediately a group of people surrounded him and came to the first workshop. Liu Che looked at the wet pulp flowing down from the grinding disc and asked, "What's in there?"

"Bark, tree trunks, reeds, broken fishing nets, and more are stalks, these things are removed in the water after removing the unwanted things, and then come here to crush and become the first-grade raw materials for papermaking."

Liu Che nodded and looked up to see the trembling legs of the servants to Yun Lang: "Do all your servants work in their new clothes?"

Yun Lang smiled and said: "This is naturally not the case when these people work on weekdays. I heard that the nobles are coming, and naturally they should be dressed neatly so as not to be unsightly."

Liu Che waved his hand and said, "How do I do it on weekdays, what do I do now, how can I still work in thick clothes!"

Yun Lang shouted Pingzhe, and when ordered, Pingzhi went to another workshop.

Liu Che took out a sticky pulp from the stone trough and smelled it on his nose, frowning: "It smells."

Yun Lang said with a smile: "The pulp must be rinsed continuously before making paper to remove impurities and taste. After these pulps are boiled and then rinsed, the taste will be eliminated, but the papermaking process requires a lot of water."

Liu Che came to the side of the waterwheel and watched the rotating waterwheel continuously scoop up the water from the ditch, washed his hands in the clear water, and then watched the water pouring down the sink, whenever the craftsman put a bucket When the ground pulp is poured into another stone tank, it will open the main tank baffle, let the water wash the pulp, and finally take the pulp to the next workshop, nodding: "The idea is really clever."

Yun Lang Su invited Liu Che to visit the next cooking workshop and explained while walking: "The process of taking away the pulp with water is actually a cleaning process. When the pulp flows into the cooking workshop, the excess water will pass through the yarn. The net flowed away, leaving only the pulp. At this time, the craftsmen took the pulp into the cauldron for cooking.

The next workshop your majesty wants to see is dedicated to this matter. "

When he came to the cooking workshop, Liu Che couldn't help but smile. I saw the servants wearing shorts one by one, pouring baskets of paper pulp into the hot steaming pot with bare spine, and looked very diligent.

"Your Majesty, they are not busy, but they cannot stop. Once they stop, the pulp supplied by the previous process will pile up in the sink. Once the pulp water overflows from the top of the sink, a lot of material will be lost. This is not allowed."

Liu Che frowned: "So, as long as they start working, can't they stop?"

Yun Lang nodded and said, "Yeah, Weichen called this operation the assembly line. Once started, after the water flow came out of the mill, until the end of the papermaking, it turned into a piece of white paper on the wall. Continue until the first process does not continue to supply pulp. "

Liu Che was undecided, and seemed to be dissatisfied with Yun Lang's behavior of squeezing his servants.

He saw the servant took the steamy pulp from the big pot and poured it into another sink before leaving the workshop.

Papermaking is actually a process of thrashing and rinsing. It is very simple. A column of fragrant Kung Fu Liu Che has stood in front of a wooden board covered with paper. He personally peeled off a piece of paper from the wooden board, and saw the paper with his own eyes. Cut off the scraps in the corner, the whole visit process is considered to be over.

"Hundreds and ten artisans are busy in the morning, and they have produced such a little paper. It is not an empty talk to struggle with material resources."

Yun Lang looked at the emperor's face and said in a small voice: "In fact, there are already a lot of them. If these large sheets of paper are cut into paper suitable for writing, it will be enough to contain a million words."

As Yun Lang whispered, the dignified color on Liu Che's face slowly subsided, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "I am always used to comparing this thing with bamboo slips and wooden tablets."

Yun Lang smiled and said: "If there is anything you want to know about your majesty, Weichen must be able to know everything, and speak endlessly."

Liu Che ignored Yun Lang's flattering remarks and turned back to a sturdy man like a bear: "What I see and hear today cannot be leaked!"

The big man clenched his fist and said, "Hey!"

Liu Che came to the yard and looked around, pointing to a row of houses he hadn't entered: "What's there for?"

Yun Lang hesitated, and immediately said: "It is a laboratory place for a new process. The process has not yet been understood, and it continues in the experiment."

"What craft?"

"How to copy thousands of books and hundreds of thousands of words in one day ..."

"Is there such a craft?" Liu Che was amazed ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Papermaking is just that. After all, it was something that had existed before. As for how to copy thousands of books in a day, hundreds of thousands of words like this Things, if it does not consume huge manpower, he feels that only ghosts and gods can do it.

"You are not allowed? What do you mean?"

Just in front of the row of houses, Liu Che saw a puzzled plaque hanging on the door lintel.

Yun Lang shook his head and said: "Weichen doesn't know, it's a guy who has a deep study of words and pens and ink. He usually wants to go in when he wants to go in. He seems to be unwilling to let Weiwei Go in. "

Liu Che stopped and glanced at the busy five or six people in the room, frowning: "And there is someone you can't manage?"

Yun Lang accompanied the smile and said: "Talented people are always weird."

Liu Che listened to Yun Lang's commentary, laughed, raised his hand and slapped on Yun Lang's shoulder and said: "It is still necessary to kill when it is time to kill. Talented people who are not well-controlled are the troubles of the country. ! "
