"Don't worry, the prefect, the young man is very wise and will definitely keep his mouth shut. Others will remind him repeatedly!" Li Li's heart was shocked. He wanted to remind Chen Zhi that this papermaking method is also inherited. It is often improved by several generations before it can be achieved in the world. Simple imitation has no effect.

But when he heard Chen Zhi's words, he thought of his identity and knew that this new master probably had some secret recipes and wanted to take responsibility for this part.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He quickly expressed his attitude, raised his hand, and sweared to the sky.

The entire Li family lived on the land of the Chen family in Xia Pi. Whether it was a major land or a workshop, they were actually working hard for the Chen family. Not to mention that the clans, the elderly, the weak, the young and the disabled, were all in Xia Pi, and they could not escape the control. They did not dare to reveal their secrets in public or private matters.

What's more, in this era, we still pay great attention to commitments. We will try our best to complete the promises. Otherwise, if we lose our reputation, it will be difficult to move forward.

Not only famous scholars need fame, but common people also need to have fame.

Otherwise, Li Li's fifth uncle would not have kept the secret after leaving the south.

However, there are exceptions in everything, and there are many possibilities, and Li Li also knows this truth. He also understands that Chen Zhi now vaguely regards himself as the leader of the workshop. This is both trust and opportunity and responsibility. Once it is leaked, he will be the first to be affected.

So after he swore to the sky, he suggested: "Prince, you can actually place it in a ring to ensure the secret so that the secret recipe will not be leaked." Then he carefully explained it and explained the meaning clearly.

It turns out that there is nothing complicated. It just separates the craftsmen. Several people are responsible for one part of papermaking, and then they are not affiliated with each other, and each is only responsible for one part of their own. Then they separate these links, making it difficult for them to understand each other. Naturally, they cannot know the entire process of papermaking. It is an alternative method of confidentiality.

After all, the four people Chen Zhi first found were just to understand the papermaking process of this era and then compare it with what he was in his mind. When the work started, other craftsmen would also be summoned.

Craftsmen are different from ordinary people. Although there are differences in industries, people who can master craftsmanship have more advantages in terms of attitude, acceptance, and even execution.

But when there are too many people, it is easy to get mixed up. So when Chen Zhi heard Li Li's words, he knew that his method was at the cost of increasing work links, increasing manpower investment, reducing efficiency, and increasing the rate of errors, which was not worth taking.

"However, Li Li reminded me that this issue of confidentiality is indeed put on the agenda. After all, there are many things in the future that are beyond the limitations of the times. Considering that a stirrup was revealed in the previous life, nomads gained such a great advantage. At least in this life, before they gained an absolute advantage, some complex technical details should not be revealed."

As for those that are easy to imitate and can be seen through at a glance, there is no need to keep it secret, because craftsmen keep their mouths tight and cannot stop others' intelligence.

"The current papermaking technology is fine, it is just the next generation of technology and more in-depth methods, and will be gradually taken out in the future. However, the planned projects will require complex processes and mature processes, and also require the participation of the Mo family. Once more Mo people are absorbed in the future, their internal organization will be a hidden danger. This confidentiality measure must be more than half of the form, and the most secure thing is undoubtedly to sign the box."

If you want to keep it secret, Chen Zhi naturally has his own way, but having a sign and a copper plate is enough to achieve twice the result with half the effort and is safer. Of course, it is his first choice, and there is no need to leave the near and far.

"The fourth grid will be full soon. Just when these craftsmen become familiar with the process, the servants in Pengcheng should arrive. The Mohist who led the Mo family has almost rested. They are all together and can be used just in time."

Thinking of this, he accelerated the arrangements in these rooms and simply transformed them, connecting the yards of several surrounding rooms, making the space wider.

Then, he transferred the elite servants he had trained and sent to the hospital to guard them.

And these actions fell into the eyes of those who were interested.

Chen Zhi's movements are now the most concerned thing for the Dai County families. They were nervous because of the calculations of Wang Quan, the border army a few days ago, and did not know how Chen Zhi would deal with this matter, so they paid attention to his every move and analyzed their tendencies.

But the results obtained made several companies very confused.

"In the past two days, except for the official duties in the mansion, Chen has been in the newly sorted workshop in the north of the city."

The Zheng family is the most concerned family. They report Chen Zhi’s movements to their homes almost seven or eight times a day. Zheng Lin, who is best at managing, personally sorted it out and then handed it over to Zheng Taigong and others for review.

For only two consecutive days, Chen Zhi's movements were very confusing.

Zheng Lin frowned, looked at some information reported in his hand, and combined with the analysis of the craftsmen at home, wrote down his own opinions, then got up and left the room, went straight to where Zheng Taigong was, and handed over it.

"You said that judging from the items transported in the past few days, Chen Zhi is probably arranging papermaking? What did he do for making papermaking?" Zheng Taigong also frowned after reading Zheng Lin's analysis, "What did he do for papermaking? Do you want to raise money from a craftsman?"

In the territory of Xinhan, there are actually many industries funded by the government, all of which are used to prepare money and grain for local governments. Some of them also have the effect of stabilizing prices, but they will often be embezzled by the aristocratic families shortly after they are established, which means that the government will contribute money and efforts to the aristocratic families.

"This is not funded by the government," Zheng Lin shook his head and added: "Although there is no direct evidence, from the current situation, these workshops should have been established by Chen Zhi himself. There are some signs that the workshops are sorted out and rebuilt, and the land deeds are bought directly by Chen Zhi."

"He came to Dai County from afar and paid for the workshop?" Zheng Taigong frowned tighter and tighter. "He bought land outside the city and was building a manor. This is normal. No one who is an official does not buy land, but it is strange to buy workshops. After all, the county magistrate is a resigned official. After all, he bought land and can be settled. It is convenient to deal with it in the future. He kept the land when he left, and there are also inputs, but the workshop is different. It is not a local aristocratic family. What's the use of buying a workshop? This industry is not as good as land. If you don't take it away, it is a burden to stay."

People in the world value land equally. Even if they are officials from other places, they often buy some land and resettle some people.

There were some rules in the previous dynasty, which were to stop officials from buying land and prevent them from being involved in local interests. However, over time, some methods were used to avoid these, such as affiliation under the name of aristocratic families, or to buy them with other people in the family, or even to directly hang them in the name of their own slaves and servants. There are many different kinds of things and all kinds of things.

In the end, the court understood that since it was difficult to eliminate and forced the officials to hide the land in various ways, it would be better to abolish this rule and ask them to buy it. However, they had to register normally. In this way, some of the land rent would have to be paid. Otherwise, according to the original trend, they would not be able to get anything.

However, such a decision was itself a result of the joint influence of the aristocratic families and bureaucratic groups, and in the end it naturally strengthened the speed of land mergers. However, driven by interests, there was no general trend that could not be changed.

Chen Zhi was in such an environment and was naturally cheap and did not accumulate enough strength, he could not change the trend.

Zheng Lin nodded after hearing Zheng Taigong's paintings and said, "The move of Chen Taishou is very interesting. It is indeed necessary to carefully consider how much it involves, but the purpose of papermaking is still unknown."

"Chen Zhi has an idea. After he arrived, he first inspected the fort and asked the craftsmen that he built his own workshop now and had a great plan. Even if we can't figure it out, we have to write down the matter and hand it over to the General's Mansion, so that the people there will worry about it."

Zheng Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded to say yes.

At the same time, several other companies were analyzing similar matters. They also did not understand Chen Zhi's movements, but they also chose to wait and see.

Amidst the chaos, Chen Zhi's papermaking workshop finally started operation, and then he personally taught the papermaking process to this group of craftsmen.

What Chen Zhi wanted to make was not mulberry paper, but leather paper. There was a complete set of processes to make this kind of paper, which was made by combining the results of the sign and the experience of later generations.

Starting from selecting and cutting trees, after peeling off the bark, fermenting and degumming, peeling off the green skin, washing, slurrying, rinsing, removing residues, chopping, etc., until the final finishing and packaging, it is divided into eighteen steps. Each step is more exquisite than the mainstream papermaking method today. Combining all the links, it can naturally produce paper far beyond this era.

Under the influence of Chen Zhi's explanation and encouragement to learn tea, even ordinary craftsmen can quickly grasp the key points of the steps. Over the past year, Chen Zhi has rarely had the opportunity to encourage tea. On the one hand, his status in Luoyang is no longer necessary to show off his external objects to make others respect him. On the other hand, he is accumulating the subsequent plans.

As an auxiliary material for teaching technology, it is undoubtedly the most ideal, and it is precisely because of this that this is why there is such a name.

After Chen Zhi's explanation was completed, many craftsmen looked shocked. The eyes of Chen Zhi turned from simple fear to awe.

Among these craftsmen, there are actually only four people who have really come into contact with papermaking, but they also know that real papermaking is definitely not as detailed and perfect as Chen Zhi said.

And after awe, it is excitement.

Because, they mastered a new craft!
Chapter completed!
