Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 134 Papermaking Success
In the end, the paper-making workshop recruited more than [-] people, which was the first step for their fledgling 'small workshop'.

Jiang Zhiyue has also lived in this Guhuai Village for several months, so the ones selected are naturally no major problems with their character after contact.

It is naturally impossible for such a large workshop to be built without disturbing other people.

Those who have mastered the papermaking technology don't pay attention to Jiang Zhiyue's workshop at all.

After all, they feel that the method of making paper is in their hands, and it is impossible for others to come up with it easily even if they try their best.

The ancient papermaking process was very complicated. Even though the methods written by Jiang Zhiyue had improved a lot, it still took more than three months to make the first batch of paper.

"I'll count to three, everyone work hard together!"

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Sun stood aside and said to the workers.

Jiang Zhiyue was standing on an unobstructed open space, witnessing this scene as well.

“Three, two, one, up!”

Around a large square wooden trough, there were several workers standing on each side. After shouting, they all worked together to lift up the wooden frame with mesh cloth in the wooden trough.

In addition to Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Sun and the workers who were lifting the wooden frame, there were other workers who were not doing any work standing around. Seeing their success, everyone cheered.

"It's done it's done!!!"

There was a lively atmosphere in the paper mill, and everyone hurriedly put the freshly fished paper on the shelf that had been prepared.

Everyone smiled and looked at Jiang Zhiyue, and said happily, "Little Boss, how do you see this?" Without his reminder, Jiang Zhiyue had already gone to the drying place to have a look.

She is very satisfied with the results these days.

When she is happy, the workers in the paper workshop are also happy.

why?
Because Jiang Zhiyue is happy and will give them bonuses!
Sure enough, Jiang Zhiyue waved his hand directly and said, "Good job, everyone will get an extra salary of [-] Wen this month."

The villagers who worked in the workshop were all smiling and thanked the little boss.

The paper taken out of the pulp water needs to be dried for several days, and a lot of new paper is continuously taken out during these days and continued to be dried.

Jiang Zhiyue was still dissatisfied, but she hadn't forgotten what her original intention of building the paper workshop was.

It is to make toilet paper that can be used every day!
However, with the immaturity of technology in this era, it is not easy to manufacture toilet paper for future generations.

After the paper-making workshop started, Jiang Zhiyue asked people from the General's Mansion to help find a few craftsmen who had researched it and sent them to Guhuai Village.

Jiang Zhiyue gave them some pointers based on what he remembered, and also took out a few sections of later generations toilet paper for them to look at.

It's just that more than three months have passed, and there is still no specific clue.

The products that came out of several tests were rough and inferior, and they couldn't even be molded.

Jiang Zhiyue simply bought another piece of land near the papermaking workshop and built several houses for them to study by themselves.

And a few days later, all the papers that were dried in the sun were finished successfully.

Workers in the workshop cut large sheets of paper and stacked them together.

Jiang Zhiyue took the rice paper bought from the bookstore in the town for comparison. The quality was almost the same, but their cost was lower. If they were sold in the bookstore, they would definitely sell better than rice paper of the same quality.

Jiang Zhiyue also discussed with Liang Wuxia and Liang Wuji brothers that Bielai Bookstore and a small bookstore under the name of the General's Mansion will be the only merchants that sell the paper they make.

The bookstore in the General's Mansion was Zhou Wei's dowry, but the business wasn't very good, so it didn't operate much.

The reason why Jiang Zhiyue chose not to come to the bookstore was naturally because she knew that the owner behind this bookstore was Ou Yangming.

If you are rich, you naturally have to bring your family to earn it together.

Yes, Jiang Zhiyue has classified Ouyang Ming as one of her own family members.For nearly four months, Ouyang Ming has also been in constant motion.

According to the memory in his dream, he has already subdued many credible capable subordinates, and quickly gathered a group of nearly a thousand subordinates.

Those people were hidden by Ouyang Ming in the depths of the mountains behind Guhuai Village.

It takes a lot of money to support so many people, so Ouyang Ming is very short of money.

No matter how busy he is, he will come to Jiang's house every once in a while, stay for two days before leaving.

This day was the day when the school in the town took a rest. In the evening, Jiang Yuchao came back with a few boys, his face a little heavy.

Looking at the few people whose faces were not quite right, Mrs. Jiang asked: "What's wrong, everyone is crying."

Jiang Yuchao answered, "When I came back from the town today, I saw the notice that the government started looking for someone again."

The old lady Jiang said indifferently: "If you are looking for someone, you can find someone. This famine has just passed, so it is normal to find a relative or friend."

Jiang Yuchao shook his head and said, "It's a notice from Prince Xun'an's son again."

"That has nothing to do with us.

Mrs. Jiang's words stopped abruptly. Isn't this Prince An's son Xiao Ming?!!!
After so long, they knew why Ouyang Ming didn't want to go back to Beijing with the officials who were looking for him, and they also knew that his family members were under house arrest in the capital.

Ouyang Ming is so busy every day now, the Jiang family automatically figured out that he must find a way to save his family.

Then if he was found back, he would also be under house arrest.

The Jiang family regards Ouyang Ming as their family, so naturally they don't want to see such a result happen.

Mr. Jiang suddenly asked: "Didn't everyone outside think that Xiao Ming was dead? Why did you find someone again?"

Jiang Yuchao also had no way to answer this question.

Saburo frowned, and asked worriedly: "Brother Ming also promised me to work with him after I pass the exam as a scholar, so if he is arrested and taken to the capital, will I not be able to follow him?"

Ouyang Ming said that when Sanlang was admitted to the scholar, he would be brought to train with him, it was said a few days ago.

Sanlang couldn't continue reading, and felt that it would be good for Li Wen and Li Da to work with Ouyang Ming.He has seen the skills of the two of them, and they are also first-class.

So Saburo asked Ouyang Ming if he could follow him.

Ouyang Ming didn't dare to agree, if San Lang became illiterate because he agreed, Jiang Zhiyue didn't know how to annoy him.

That's why Ouyang Ming said that only after he was admitted as a scholar can he be eligible to follow him.

Recently, Saburo has been working hard to study, just to get the recommendation of the teacher in the school before the college exam starts, so that he can have a chance to take the exam.

How could he have imagined that such an accident would happen.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't know about this, because Ouyang Ming hadn't been to Guhuai Village for a long time, and he didn't ask Li Da or Li Wen to pass her any news.

While everyone was silent, there was a knock on the door of the Jiang family.

Jiang Zhiyue seemed to have sensed it, and quickly stood up to open the door.
