"I have read the Three Kingdoms briefly. Some of the stories in this book are based on this book, but they are not the same." His Majesty Li Er said: "Qi Lin must have been inspired by this book. He has been easily understood and has a lot of fun!"

Xu Hui said, "Your Majesty, is this considered to be a lack of business? Is it promoted him to an official position today, because of this painting, right?"

His Majesty Li Er laughed, stroked Xu Hui's slippery little hand, and said, "Qi Lin made great contributions to his advice today. If you take multiple measures, I will promote him to the third level of reward. Well, this kid is still fooling me and almost cheated on two levels of official ranks."

Xu Hui was confused and looked at Li Er with her bright eyes, a little confused and confused, but she looked even more innocent and cute.

Looking at the cute appearance of her beloved concubine, the faint fragrance of osmanthus floated into her nose, His Majesty Li Er smirked twice.

But as Little Vinzi was still in the hall, he had to press the evil fire, hug his beloved concubine in his arms, gently squeezed the soft flesh on her waist and hips, and then put it on her face.

Although it was on holiday, Xu Qilin didn't sleep in, but just got up a little later than when he was at work.

Morning exercises that were unmoved were already part of Xu Qilin's life. Since he competed with Xue Zonggui, he has practiced harder.

Although he had Brother Xiaolong, Xu Qilin was limited by his physical fitness in terms of strength and speed. Winning was a big regret, but he felt a little ashamed of losing Brother Xiaolong's reputation.

Moreover, even if Xu Qilin does not want to establish himself with martial arts, he is the only way to live a long-term life in this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine.

Speaking of exercise, Xu Qilin's equipment and methods can be said to be the most scientific of this era. Of course, it would not be like the ancients who just threw stones and locks.

What are squats, rope jumping, push-ups... Xu Qilin is quite familiar with the strong muscles required for fighting or fighting.

After finishing the morning exercise, I had finished washing and breakfast, Xu Qilin left the mansion and went to the papermaking experimental site outside the city.

When I entered the experimental site, I saw a row of huge water tanks. This thing was called an urn in ancient times. Yes, this is the reaction vessel that Xu Qilin wanted to make a kelp.

"This jar - this jar is so big!" Xu Qilin circled around the water tank and thought to himself: Sima Gang smashed the water tank of this size, so it's okay for a child to swim in it.

The official from the Ministry of Works sent to assist was Zhang Cheng, who was only eighth-rank. He was very young, but his attitude was very respectful and seemed to have a good spirit of learning.

For example, Zhang Cheng carried paper and pen and ink in a porcelain bottle with him, Xu Qilin's instructions and experimental steps one by one, and he still knew how to ask if he didn't understand.

There is such a person next to Xu Qilin, who has a sense of vanity as a leader from later generations inspected, and someone next to him holds a small notebook to record.

Well, hum! Xu Qilin stood up and walked to the pile of crumbs. The grass, hemp, bamboo, wood, reeds and other materials have been chopped and ground, and the processing is fine.

Zhang Cheng explained: "In order to make the paper specifications are almost the same, the officials have compared the materials in proportion, and they are all one portion."

Xu Qilin nodded and praised: "Very good, Brother Zhang has put his heart into practice."

As he said that, he pretended to twist the material, tried the fineness, and then put it under his nose and smelled it, wanting to put it in his mouth to taste it--well, now this expert looks are enough.

Take out a piece of paper from your sleeve, Xu Qilin handed it to Zhang Cheng, and said, "Follow this ratio and steps, start making hot alkali!"

Zhang Cheng took the paper and read it. The above is written in detail. As long as you read, you have never done it before, so it is easy to do it as you follow it.

After responding, Zhang Cheng invited the craftsmen to drain the feed and add water, and carry out chemical reactions in the large tank.

Xu Qilin quickly reminded loudly: "Don't move too much, protect your face and hands, be careful not to let the reaction liquid splash, especially the eyes!"

The corrosiveness of hulin is not comparable to soda ash and quicklime. These craftsmen definitely don’t know the first time they come into contact with it. This will cause a production safety accident. Not to mention that they can’t afford it, Xu Qilin couldn’t bear it even if he hurts people.

Zhang Cheng also repeated loudly, reminding the craftsmen to be careful in their work.

Soda ash and quicklime react in water to form a hot alkali solution, and the lower layer precipitation is calcium carbonate.

Adding a large amount of calcium carbonate to papermaking can ensure the strength and whiteness of the paper, and can also adjust the ink absorption, and have good hiding power and optical properties.

Perhaps the process of sulfur bleaching can be eliminated? Xu Qilin sat in the shade and pondered the process of papermaking, thinking about how to reduce costs and improve production efficiency.

At this time, Zhang Cheng came over, took the paper and pen, and humbly asked Xu Qilin for advice.

Xu Qilin didn't care whether he could understand it or not. After a rough talk, he changed the topic and asked Zhang Cheng to find a carving engraver and a carpenter. There were no longer used or damaged carvings in the warehouse of the Ministry of Works, and they also brought them together.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly asked his men to do it without any delay.

In fact, Zhang Cheng also understood that if papermaking is successful, it would be a great achievement. This was something that Your Majesty personally told him. If he had done it, as long as Xu Qilin helped him with a few good words, it would be no problem to get promoted.

What Xu Qilin thought of was to saw the ready-made carved plate into single characters, then trim and polish it, and to unify the size and level, and then become a movable type model.

As for the missing characters, the fastest and simplest way to separate the carved and plated versions and form a wooden movable type mold.

Xu Qilin thought that the carved plate could be preserved for a long time, and the same wood type of wood should be fine.

Moreover, as long as the government participates, produces lead type molds and establishes a royal printing company, it is not difficult.

The efficiency of the Ministry of Works is still good, which is also related to His Majesty Li Er's attention. The engraving craftsmen were quickly summoned and started working according to Xu Qilin's instructions.

The carpenters create wheel type frames according to the drawings drawn by Xu Qilin, which are two large wooden wheels, which are divided into several grids, and arrange the wooden movable characters in the grid according to the rhyme. When typesetting, people sit between the two wheels, turn the wheel to use the characters to make people, and the wheel to get the characters, saving time and effort.

Zhang Cheng didn't quite understand what he was going to do. Anyway, just follow Xu Qilin's command. Success is awesome, but failure is not his responsibility.

After having a simple working meal at noon, Xu Qilin directed the craftsmen to steam paper pulp in the afternoon. The next steps include washing materials, sieve, sifting, sifting materials, drying, snishing paper, squeezing, and baking paper.

Obviously, this paper cannot be made today. But Xu Qilin is also familiar with all the processes and tools of ancient handmade papermaking, and has the idea of ​​improvement.

For example, bleaching, which is the ancient bleaching method, usually requires direct sunlight exposure, which is the professional photolysis method. It takes two or three months to make the pulp white.
