Section 365 A piece of white paper leaves Nanling (2)
If it were the paper invented by Cai Lun in history or earlier, it appeared in the Western Han Dynasty.
The papermaking process is very simple.
However, its writing performance is very poor, and it is even too hard to wipe the butt!
Otherwise, after the invention of paper, for nearly two hundred years, the literati and literati in Zhuxia would not still use bamboo slips as the main carrier of books.
It was not until the Five Barbarians Rebellion that the papermaking technology was moved south and there was a leap forward in the development of papermaking technology. The craftsmen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty took talents in the Zhushan Mountains in the south. Through continuous research and repeated verification, based on Cai Lun's papermaking technology, they invented a brand new process and finally created white paper with high writing performance.
So, the paper began to eliminate bamboo slips in an all-round way.
By the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the papermaking technology of Zhuxia took a step further, and various fine papers appeared.
Large-scale papermaking workshops have also been developed.
However, Zhang Yue’s conditions are not yet mature, and he is just the first time he is trying to make paper. He pursues success, so he uses relatively basic original papermaking technology.
It is approximately equivalent to papermaking technology in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The beating degree of bamboo pulp is not enough.
This is also a time when there is no way to go. The technology tree is never achieved overnight.
Even the current papermaking technology is actually a matter of promoting growth.
Fortunately, in this world of BC, no one would seriously care about these things.
The workers in this manor were either Zhang Yue’s own retainers or hired workers who had signed contracts with his retainers.
They are all honest, diligent and obedient.
I will not question or doubt the orders of the owner.
Just do it seriously.
After checking the pulp ball of bamboo pulp that had been pulp-shaped, Zhang Yue ordered: "Stop pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-pulp-
He called Tian He to his face and instructed: "You go to your sister-in-law's place to get some money, go to the nearby area to buy a pig and kill it, and reward the whole house tonight!"
As soon as this decision was made, the workers' enthusiasm for working increased several times.
Many of them may have never tasted meat several times in their lives...
However, Zhang Yue took the initiative and returned to the manor.
Now, the layout of the interior of this house has undergone great changes.
My sister-in-law is dedicated and wants to click on the silkworm raising technology tree at Zhang’s family.
Therefore, the backyard and wing room of this house were transformed into silkworm rooms that could be used for raising silkworms.
One by one, the custom-made silkworm raising bamboo curtains were piled in the yard, waiting to be installed into the silkworm room.
And inside and outside the courtyard, there were also figures of maids and servants.
They are all older women.
It was the biggest human trafficker and slave trader whom my sister-in-law asked Mrs. Luan, who bought it from the Shaofu Qingshen in Chang'an. Today, the largest human trafficker and slave trader is the Han Shaofu Yamen.
That year, General Li Guang, the Ershi, returned from attacking Dayuan and brought back tens of thousands of captured Dayuan women.
Then the Shaofuqing sold 20,000 of them to the literati, noble, landlord and commoners...
The rest were sent to the East-West weaving room, as a palace female worker, who specially weaved cloth for the Old Liu family.
Not only that, Yang Ke was cheating and confiscated hundreds of thousands of slaves.
These confiscated slaves were eventually accepted by the Shaofuqing and included in his own system.
Therefore, Han people usually go to Shaofu when they buy slaves and servants.
Because there you can find any kind of slave you need.
But most people go to Shaofuqing to buy slaves, and the price is relatively high.
But when the literati and nobles buy, they can get discounts.
For example, the total number of slaves bought by my sister-in-law Luan was about twenty, but it cost less than one hundred thousand yuan in total.
The average person is less than 5,000.
Although the ones bought were all older female slaves, because they were "Shi Zhong Zhang Zizhong's eldest sister-in-law", the officials in the Shaofu worked hard to choose skilled women in the east and west weaving rooms.
This is a good female slave that even if you have money, you can’t buy it!
Generally, only the top powerful people are qualified to be involved.
It can be said that each of these people is a human-shaped self-propelled money printing machine.
Therefore, although they are old and called slaves, they are actually not low in any family of nobles and nobles, and are treated even better.
In history, Huo Guang later had a similar female slave named Chen. Because he was good at weaving, he invented new looms and jacquard machines, which made Huo's gold make money every day.
Therefore, he was highly respected by the Huo Guang family. He not only regarded him as his family, but also won an official position for his husband Chen Baoguang.
After the fall of Huo, Chen was taken over by Zhang Anshi and brought home. He respected him as much as he could. With this person's guidance and teaching skills, Zhang Anshi became the first workshop owner before the BC. It is said that his family hired hundreds of workers and thousands of looms...
Zhang Anshi was so rich that even Emperor Xuan envied...
"Lord..." When the maids saw Zhang Yue, the male master, come back, they all saluted quickly, with a trepidation.
"You don't have to be polite..." Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I'm always not at home. Fortunately, you have taken care of your elder sister-in-law and are just about to be grateful..."
He waved his hand, and Li Miao immediately took the people and carried dozens of pieces of cloth out and distributed it to them as a reward.
People with skills, regardless of their status, are highly respected by Han people.
Not to mention that Zhang Yue is still a time traveler.
But everyone knelt down quickly and thanked Zhang Yue for his gratitude.
Looking at the cloth in my hand, I was so happy that I couldn't help myself.
Zhang Yue looked at them, thought a little, and said, "I have a loom, I wish to ask a skilled craftsman to make it. I wonder if anyone can recommend it?"
Zhang Yue must click on the cotton textile technology tree.
If you can click on it, even if you just copy the simple foot-pedal weaving machines in rural areas in later generations, you can make a lot of money.
Maybe wealth can lift Yuan Guanghan into a fight in minutes.
In this world of BC, there is no more profitable business than cloth.
Because nowadays, cloth is money, a hard currency comparable to gold.
In some areas, cloth is even better than gold!
The Han Dynasty listed gold, cloth and Wuzhu coins as currencies.
Since the Yuan Feng, most of the Han army's military expenditure was cashed out in cloth.
However, Zhang Yue has never had the opportunity to contact the skilled craftsmen of the people. Now when he meets these women who come from Shaofu, he naturally wants to ask them about the craftsmen who are famous in the people now.
Listening to Zhang Yue's question, one of the maids came out and said, "If the lord wants to be a skilled craftsman, I heard that Chang'an has a slow population and unparalleled skills. He is called the world's number one skilled craftsman. He made a "seven-wheel fan" and the officials of Chang'an all seek it to cool down..."
"Seven-wheeled fan?" Zhang Yue immediately stood up and asked, "Dong Ding is here today?"
He traced back to the miscellaneous notes of Xijing that he once recorded this kind of artifact.
Tell me, you may not believe it may be the first fan in history. Although it is not electric, it is also mechanically powered.
