Shi Yiwen certainly didn't know what others thought. Besides, he became busy as soon as he returned to the capital.

I have to go to the bookstore to print the book first. Although the book "The Water Pressing Well" has been written long ago, some patterns still need to be added.

After working hard for a day and drawing out the patterns that need to be added, Shi Yiwen came to the bookstore and watched the workers shaking the lithographic printing machine to print the pages. As the printer rotated, the pages were printed one by one, and the ink marks on the slightly yellowed paper were very clear.

A faint ink fragrance permeates the printing workshop. The reason why lithographic printing is very popular in modern China is not only because it is similar to traditional printing and is easy to make plates, but more importantly, as a type of lithographic printing, it can directly use cheap domestic ink, and it also corrodes stone slabs for extremely long life and can be printed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times.

Such advantages have made lithographic machines popular in China. As for the replacement of lithographic printing, it will have to wait until after liberation, with the development of metallurgy and chemical industries.

"This is really clear..."

Looking at the printed booklet, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but sigh.

"Young Master, if our ink is mixed with 20% of the water, the handwriting will not be as light as it is now, and it can reduce the cost."

As the shopkeeper of "Qizhi Bookstore", Sun Fengshan once again put forward his suggestions on costs.

"Shopkeeper Sun, this is not what the business does. Even if you add 20% of the water, how much can you save? Just 15,000 copies of the "Water Pressure Well Method", how much can you save? Is it a hundred taels? Or how much?"

Shaking his head, Shi Yiwen looked at Sun Fengshan and said.

"If you want to reduce costs, you can find a way to produce paper and ink. You don't have to cut corners. By the way, how is the paper I mentioned to you last time now?"

After changing the topic, Shi Yiwen asked another thing.

"Boss, I was looking for you, please move upstairs."

When he arrived at the upper compartment, Sun Fengshan took out a piece of yellowed paper and said.

"Boss, look, this is the mulberry paper that our paper shop has tried to make with your instructions."

After taking the light yellow paper, Shi Yiwen felt its feel. The paper was tough and shiny, and the sound was crisp. It seemed that it was not much different from the paper money papers of later generations, but it was thicker.

"Owner, it took two months to make this paper. In fact, it is not rare to use incense to make paper. It is more common in the south. The incense to make the paper has a very good ink-receiving property. It is not oozing with the ink marks of writing. It is more delicate and softer than ordinary mulberry paper, and the paper is more delicate and uniform, flat and smooth. However, now, cotton has been added. After linen, it is tougher and harder..."

Looking at the boss, Sun Fengshan tried to say.

"But I really don't know why the boss spares no effort to make this paper?"

Faced with Sun Fengshan's confusion, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"Sign up the silver notes!"

With a slight smile, Shi Yiwen picked it up again and looked at it in front of the light and could see the watermark between the paper. Watermark technology is not a new technology. Now many paper shops will add watermarks to the corners of the paper to indicate the "brand".

Sure enough, just as mentioned in the information - the biggest feature of Sanya Paper is that its watermark is very clear. The so-called "Sanya Paper" exclusive in Japan is actually Chinese velvet paper, and the scented fragrance in Japan called "Sanya Wood" is just one of the raw materials for mulberry paper. In this era, this should be the best "bill paper" that can be found.

"With it, we can print out fake silver notes."

Contains cotton, linen paper, ink,... These are all means to ensure that silver bills are counterfeit. Of course, it would be even better if there is gravure or even anti-counterfeiting and color-changing ink.

Of course, all this is for the future. After all, the use of silver notes is not widely used now, and it is mainly for one person to use, but occasionally some people use it. But you must prepare for anything in advance.

Thinking of the silver notes, Shi Yiwen naturally thought of his partner. He hadn't seen him for a while and didn't know what he was busy with.

But after thinking about it, Shi Yiwen could guess that he would definitely not be more comfortable than himself. After all, there was a "strong prime minister" there. Thinking of that "strong prime minister", Shi Yiwen frowned slightly.

Zhang Juzheng!

Now I have really caught his eye. It seems that contact with him in the future is inevitable, but under what circumstances will he meet him?

I am offering books and molds.

Logically speaking, at this time, Zhang Juzheng should summon him.

Could it be that he is waiting for him to pay his respects?

Wouldn't it be too reckless if I came to see him like this?

Do you need to ask Ma Ziqiang first? In contrast, among these parents, it seems that Ma Ziqiang owes him favor. As for Lu Diaoyang... where is he in Guangxi?

Just as Shi Yiwen was thinking about not going to see Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng's sedan returned to the gate of Zhang's mansion in Wusha Hutong. It was dark now. The four lanterns hanging under the eaves of the gate were lit with soft light. As soon as Zhang Juzheng got out of the sedan chair, the servants hurried forward to report the report.

"Master, Marshal Qi has arrived."

"Oh, where is he? Why didn't someone send me a notification?"

"It was the officials who told them not to disturb the assistants."

While the voice was heard, Qi Jiguang had already strode out of the doorman and bowed and greeted. As usual, Qi Jiguang, the general of Ji Town, came to Zhang's mansion to pay homage to Zhang Juzheng as soon as he returned to the capital. Although the assistant was not in the mansion, he was still waiting at the doorman and specifically told him not to disturb Zhang Juzheng. While explaining, Qi Jiguang bowed and greeted as soon as he saw him.

"See the assistant."

When Zhang Juzheng saw Qi Jiguang, he knew that he must have not eaten yet and the gatekeeper would not prepare food for the guests. He smiled and asked the servants to prepare meals, and then said to Qi Jiguang.

"Yuan Jing, how long have you been?"

"It's just one hour."

Qi Jiguang said respectfully.

"When Xiaguan was looking for it a few days ago, he hunted a tiger. This thing is the best to nourish his body. Xiaguan thought that he would inevitably hurt his body when he worked hard all day long. He brought it to Jiaguan to nourish his body."

Every two or three months, Qi Jiguang would seek excuses to visit Zhang Juzheng in Beijing. The relationship between the two can be said to be very close. Every time Qi Jiguang came over, he would bring some wild game and specialties. Zhang Juzheng had already become accustomed to this, so he naturally did not refuse.

"That's you, you're talking about me all day long. This time you come to Beijing, let's stay here for a few days."
