Chapter 292: :papermaking

The sacrificial matter has come to an end, the construction of the city wall has also entered the stage of closing the net, and the planting task of the Ministry of Agriculture is gradually on track. It can be completed well without Chen Chao's special attention.
It just so happens that a certain system boss can also free up his hands to do another thing, that is, papermaking.
In addition, Chen Chao also intends to give the ministers of the Ministry of Agriculture, Construction and Animal Husbandry a new task.
That is all walks of life, standardized settings, in order to better help newcomers quickly enter a working state, there can also be a special standard to determine how much everything should be done.
After all, take the matter of farming, how to dig the wasteland, how to make it after dug, what kind of land is needed for wheat, what kind of paddy field is needed for rice, how deep the seeds should be buried, and how to plant seedlings Specific methods, usual maintenance, etc.
Word of mouth is not impossible. Now that there are few people, word of mouth is possible.
But after that, after doing it many times?
Will there be a problem of slack, or will there be a mistake once in word of mouth?
It’s not impossible to rely on feelings, but everyone’s feelings are different. Before the results are released, it is difficult to define who is right and who is wrong.
In general, Chen Chao still tends to publish several brochures on agriculture, animal husbandry, and the Ministry of Construction.
In this way, there is a standard, that is, after you have done it, you know how to do it well, and then everyone will always follow this standard.
Chen Chao didn't ask for a random operation and discovered something that could double the harvest.
Even if it is discovered, the results of the harvest will be at least a few months later, and it is difficult to trace the source.
He only requires that the status quo be maintained, and production should not be reduced due to some personal reasons.
Later, a dedicated research team will discover better possibilities a little bit.
Of course, he also supports personal research on this matter, but not now.
Chen Chao now has only one small requirement, that is, to maintain production first, so that everyone can eat everything.
The preparation of brochures for the three major industries is to set standards on the one hand, and to prepare for the development of adult technical classes on the other.
It’s also time to put two textbooks on Chinese and mathematics for ‘Tianyuan Primary School’. Otherwise, they would just use sand to teach them every day. If it weren’t for the low demand, the problem would not be serious.
Otherwise, after the ‘Tianyuan Primary School’ and the ‘Tianyuan Night School’ are on the right track, teaching texts based on sand alone will be too restrictive and cannot be expanded even if they want to expand.
As for other subjects, it can be a little later.
After the textbooks are online, the literacy rate of the entire tribe will also quickly increase.
Because Chen Chao understands that if he wants to quickly move from an agricultural society to an industrial society, it is not enough to rely on himself or bring a few people to work on researching and developing machines.
After these machines are released, there must be someone who can operate them, someone can think of ways to upgrade, and even a lot of people can develop new machines together.
And these, without exception, need to be learned? A large amount of (just....sensitive words) knowledge.
But these are all things to do. Before learning knowledge, you have to be literate.
The literacy rate of the Tianyuan tribe is terribly low now, except for the dozen kids and the management of various departments who know more words.
The people below, Chen Chao dare not say 100%, at least 80%. Even the newly built canteen posted what food to eat today or what to eat today.
In addition to textbooks, Chen Chao also discovered that there are still many areas in the tribe that need to use paper, such as the current'Tianyuan Monthly.'
The previous "Tianyuan Monthly" was mainly issued monthly, and occasionally it was issued separately in emergencies or major events.
Of course, the issue of the monthly report really has a lot to do with the production method.
At present, charcoal is mainly used for writing on wooden boards. Although it can also write, it is difficult to write very small and detailed with charcoal due to the limited materials.
If you write it too small, it will basically become a piece of paper, so you not only have to write bigger, but you have to write less.
Otherwise, the issuance of a monthly report will not remember much.
But there is no way if you don't get the monthly report. If you don't get it, a large part of the people in the tribe will not know the source and channel of accurate information.
After all, this kind of ‘official’ information is more convincing than the gossip.
Moreover, Chen Chao also intends to cultivate that the people of the Tianyuan tribe will become familiar with this way of obtaining information as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the tribe's population surge in the future.
The Tianyuan tribe is basically changing with each passing day. Chen Chao has already planned to upgrade the'Tianyuan Monthly Report' to the'Tianyuan Weekly Report', from posting a poster once every month to once a week.
Now that technical brochures and textbooks are going online, we need to start pounding paper.
After all, after the paper is mashed out, writing on the paper is much more comfortable and convenient than writing on a wooden board with charcoal every time.
In addition to books and publicity, the paper can also be used to paste windows.
Summer is okay now, opening a window and sleeping by the door have little to do.
But in winter, the trouble is big. But in winter, the whole house is dark, and the doors and windows are closed during the day, and there is no light at all. If it is not turned off, the cold wind will swish in.
So it’s okay if I don’t want to, but I think that paper is used everywhere in my life.
After deciding to fiddle with paper, Chen Chao began to study how to make paper. There are now ramie fields in the tribe. Basically, only the outer skin is used to make linen clothes.
The raw materials are very sufficient, so now that the paper is on the line, everything is ready, only the wind is owed~~
Ramie paper has three major characteristics, namely, thinness, toughness, and durability. Its effect is magical. It is a traditional economic and practical folk paper.
In the long years, it has contributed to people's production and life.
For example, you can use it to paste windows, which not only protects you from wind and cold, but is also very bright, not easy to rot in rain and not easy to break in wind.
If you use this kind of hemp paper to top the roof, the bones and muscles are also tough, constantly pulling, and water-absorbing powder, innocent and flat.
When writing accounts and writing, it won’t run off ink, is resistant to rubbing, is easy to keep, and is free from insects and has a long shelf life.
After querying (crossing out) and knowing the benefits of ramie paper, a certain system boss is simply too satisfied~~
After determining the direction, Chen Chao began to inquire (cross out) and think about papermaking methods and technologies.
He didn't inquire about how to make ramie paper (crossed out), but he found the process of making paper from bamboo. He planned to use this method to test it while modifying some more suitable processes.
The first step is to cut the bamboo floating pond: cut the tender bamboo, put it into the pond, and soak it for more than 100 days, and use natural microorganisms to decompose and wash away the green skin of the bamboo.
The second step is to cook the bamboo over the fire: Put the bamboo obtained above into a bucket and cook with lime for eight days and eight nights.
The third step, mortar: Take out the bamboo treated above, put it into a stone mortar, and tap it with a stone mortar until the bamboo is broken, which is like a muddy surface.
The fourth step, swing the material into the curtain: pour the broken bamboo material into the sink, and swing the material in the water with the bamboo curtain. The bamboo material becomes a thin layer attached to the bamboo curtain, and the rest of the water is from the sides of the bamboo curtain Flow down the trough
The fifth step is to cover the curtain and press the paper: then repeatedly pass the curtain to make the wet paper fall on the board, and it is a sheet of paper. In this way, repeat the steps of swaying and covering the curtain, so that the wet paper stacks up to thousands of sheets, and then add a wooden board to squeeze most of the water.
The sixth step, through-fire drying: the wet paper is raised one by one and dried. The equipment for baking paper is made up of adobe bricks to form an alley. Fire is built in the alley. After the temperature of the adobe bricks rises, the wet paper is pasted and dried one by one. After drying, lift up to get into paper.
After clarifying his thoughts, he went to the knitting department to find a batch of ramie waste, prepared to soak them first, and then look at the specific situation afterwards.
As for the lime, it can be slowed down and Qu and Linong can take the Ministry of Commerce and Foreign Affairs to do business while looking for limestone.
However, limestone must be launched as soon as possible. After all, it is the main raw material for paper-burning lime and cement. If the Ministry of Construction wants to move forward as fast as possible, cement is indispensable~
Even if you want to smelt iron later, this is indispensable.
While Chen Chao was thinking about how to make paper, the hunting team led by the leader Yuan encountered a team of nearly two hundred people.
Xian Lai looked at the golden axe in the hands of the leader Xian, and tried to squeeze a smile and asked, "The leader, why don't you save Brother Xianyu and the others?"
The leader Xian glanced at Xian Lai, and said lightly, "Hey, what are you in a hurry, wait for me to try it first, this tribe made a weapon."
After speaking, it was suitable for the people around him to give way to the side. He held the axe handle in both hands, raised it high, and slashed hard at the thick wood of an arm in front of him.
"Crack", the wood snapped.
