Chapter 17 Putting the blame on

But Wang Hua is now focusing on papermaking...

In fact, since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a complete set of papermaking processes, such as cutting hemp, washing, soaking ash, steaming, pounding, pulping, making paper, drying paper, and uncovering paper. But it was mainly the formula and the perfection of production equipment.

For example, at this time, starch paste is used as a glue sizing agent, which also has the effect of filling and reducing the bottom of the fiber sinking tank, but the effect is far less than that of the paper medicine made of plant dip liquid in the Song Dynasty. This paper medicine is the juice extracted from star fruit vines and hollyshocks. The star fruit vine is not the vine of the Lingnan fruit tree star fruit, but a tree plant, but refers to another kind of fruit vine - the vine juice of kiwi. There are many wild kiwis in Funiu Mountain, and there are also Tianling Mountain, but very few.

Wang Hua didn't need too much, so Dafeng asked Lu Ergou and Niu Defu to the mountains to find a group to come back.

The history of bamboo paper appearing in China was in the Tang Dynasty, but Wang Hua had not seen it at this time. It was probably after the maturity of the woodblock printing technology, the thinner the paper, the better, and the bamboo paper technology appeared. The history of bamboo paper in Europe was a thousand years later. But until the Song Dynasty, it was not mature. There is another reason behind this, because the craft was immature, paper is the original color of raw materials, and bamboo paper did not solve the shortcomings of brittleness.

The brittleness of the back is related to the bamboo fiber factor. It not only requires technology, but also water source.

But after the Yuan and Ming dynasties, starting from Fujian, clinker production and natural bleaching were used, and bamboo paper began to officially start to go on stage. In addition to retaining the burning alkali to soak the water, lime and other pulp were also used to boil paper. In fact, this seemingly simple procedure, the quality of the paper has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Wang Hua doesn’t care about the technology produced in that era. However, the most advanced technology allowed by the current conditions is of course the most cost-effective method, and it is just a little adopted.

Fortunately, there was only one piece of the fields in his family close to a stream. The water quality of this stream originated from the mountain. There should be no problem with the water quality. Then he took Wan Dahai and Zhang Sanlong to prepare. First, he dug a pit to ferment the material by the stream. This must be completed in advance because the fermentation time is very long and takes dozens of days. There are also a pit to burn ash alkali and a water mill for pulping. This water mill is also easy to solve. Now, most of the pounding rice is used, and it is enough to make a little transformation. There are also the stove cage when steaming, the stacking kang when baking paper, and the fine bamboo plastering paper.

This is not too difficult.

It was completed in a few days, and then Wang Hua built a few simple thatched huts on it, waiting for the bamboo to be fermented and started making. Anyway, there are many idle people in the family now, and in addition to Lu Ergou and the others, there are also several boatmen, who are bored, and just let them find something to do.

After doing these, Wang Hua tried to start making the second thing, a brush.

At this time, Wang Yi brought some useful news.

Lu San Monkey, like Wang Yi in his early years, liked to gambling. Because he had some relatives with the Wang Shen family, he was scolded by Wang Shen. But Lu San Monkey was not a troublesome lamp. He whispered to Wang Shen on the spot. He also said that Wang Shen had no use, and he beat a child so hard that he dared not fight back.

Wang Hua was so happy that he was looking for an opportunity when the opportunity came to his door.

He called Zhang Sanlong aside and muttered a few words.

Zhang Sanlong asked in confusion: "Alang, this is a bad thing."

Wang Hua heard it and really wanted to be a good person. After a long time, he said, "It depends on who he is like a bad person who has been taught repeatedly. No matter how much he advises, it is useless. Should the government use the law to punish him?"

When Zhang Sanlong heard that it seemed to make sense, he ran back to Luoyang and looked for his friends to take the medicine for sweating.

That is, things like the Viagra are not as effective as the legendary Viagra, but they will also make the sleeping people sleep a little deeper. This was when Wang Hua and Lu Ergou were having sex with each other, Lu Ergou expressed regret for the mistake in disappointment, saying that they brought the sweat medicine that night, and Wang Hua would not catch them.

Wang Hua was curious when he heard this. So he asked a few questions and asked them to use the samples for experiments.

The results of the experiment are not very good, but they really work hard at the right time.

A few days later, Zhang Sanlong came back from Luoyang, and it was already early September.

The weather gradually cooled down.

Wang Hua once again became the center of discussion in Qingshangou, because under Wang Yi's investigation, he finally chose a porcelain kiln. The owner of this family's name was Huang. The porcelain originally burned was of poor quality and had a strange temper. Like Wang Hua, he offended many people inexplicably and was deliberately suppressed by some people. So his business plummeted and he finally chose to sell it.

The Wang family was not interested in his craftsmanship, but because the reason for the sale of this porcelain kiln was relatively simple. So Wang Yi came back and talked to Wang Hua. Of course, Wang Hua allowed to appreciate and allow him. He was not interested in the current cave cave. No matter what the current craftsmanship of the porcelain kiln is, all of them must be demolished and improved, especially the cave cave, which must be rebuilt, no matter what porcelain he burns out.

But the two companies were entangled in the final price.

The Huang family insisted on asking for three million yuan, which was a bit too high.

After listening to it, Wang Hua slammed it down. Could it be that someone in the middle is a little suspicious? But no matter what the reason is, Wang Hua decisively asked Wang Yi to stop the negotiations. We have some money now, but we can't spend it like this, and there are still many places to use it.

This incident spread, and everyone knows that the Wang family boy really posted this time. No matter what, he didn't have the courage to buy the porcelain kiln without millions of money.

Just as people were talking about this topic, Wang Hua brought Zhang Sanlong and Li Hong and others to the vicinity of Wang Shen’s house at the third update on the first day of September.

The Wang Shen family and the Wang Yi family did not live in the same village. He lived in Luzhaigou, not far from Qingshangou, which was slightly smaller than Qingshangou, but very close to the old kiln of the Wang family. With Wang Shen's words, he would keep an account, which was also the reason why Wang Yi asked him to be the butler at that time.

Since Wang Shen took over the porcelain kiln, the Wang family has been built many times and has now become unremarkable. Like the painter Wang, the large tiled house that has three in and three out is a little smaller in area. However, because there are more than a dozen servants living there, it is more full of vitality.

That night, the sky was also in a state of drizzle, and he couldn't see his five fingers.

Wang Hua asked Lu Ergou and the others to wait in the woods outside the village, and took Zhang Sanlong to touch the bottom of Wang Shen's yard wall. The courtyard wall was very tall, but Zhang Sanlong was born as a gangster. To put it bluntly, he was a thief. He took out a hook from his arms and threw it on the wall. The two of them crawled into the yard along the rope. They tiptoed to the room where Wang Shen lived, and snatched a small hole in the window paper, and Zhang Sanlong blew the smoke inside.

After a while, he heard the snoring inside, Zhang Sanlong pried open the door bolt with a knife. It was estimated that they also pried out that night that Wang Hua lived in Luoyang. The two of them covered their nostrils with wet towels and touched them. First, they had to find the account book.

If Wang Shen made the account, the account book could not be placed on the porcelain kiln. He was good at this, so such important things would be placed in his home and would inevitably be placed in his own room. After a while, he felt a "safe" and there were several locks on the box.

Zhang Sanlong prepared the lock-opening tool from his arms and fumbled through the lockhole to open the box. Wang Hua hugged and monitored Wang Shen's movements on the bed. At this time, Wang Shen hugged a woman, whether it was his wife or a concubine who was familiar with her. He didn't know whether the smoke brought by Zhang Sanlong had the effect, or whether they were familiar with each other, they were very dead. Anyway, the two of them have not been awakened by Wang Hua and the others.

After a while, Zhang Sanlong opened the lock.

Wang Hua was quite nervous at this time. Although his idea was what he thought, he had never done such a thing in his two lives. In order to prevent it, Wang Hua even found a black cloth to cover his head. Once Wang Shen woke up, he would pluck his legs away.

Seeing Zhang Sanlong open the box, Wang Hua reached in and touched it with the faint light outside. Without disappointing him, he touched several books, took them out, and opened the books under the window. He saw the numbers inside. Wang Hua made a gesture and succeeded. But before it was over, he touched some property from the box and left with Zhang Sanlong.

This is the beginning.

The two ran quickly into the woods, and Lu Ergou lit the torch, Li Hong, Xiang Chi, and Wang Hua himself took out paper and pen, and copied the account book immediately. However, Wang Hua was the fastest. In order to save time, he found a goose feather, stained with ink, and used cursive script. In this way, at the fourth update, he barely copied a part. But this was enough.

Wang Hua put the copied account book and asked Zhang Sanlong to climb over the courtyard wall again and send it back into the box. But Wang Hua was still very nervous. Once someone discovered it, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

The weather tonight has finally helped a lot, because it is drizzling and the weather is cool, which is also the best time to sleep.

After a while, Zhang Sanlong came back safely after seeing a few barkings of dogs. Wang Huacai breathed a sigh of relief.

Things are not over yet.

Wang Hua asked Li Hong and the others to go back first, and brought Zhang Sanlong, who was the most active, to Lu Sanhouzi's house again. He wrapped the bag of property captured from the box in cloth, and threw it into Lu Sanhouzi's house from the window.

Wang Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
