"Hey, Shaoning, I still want to make another type of paper machine. Hey hey, don't go! Come and take a look! "
Li Zexuan suddenly thought of toilet paper. Now that the paper machine had been made, he only needed to add a scraper to it to make toilet paper. Therefore, he wanted to ask Yan Shaoning to make a toilet paper machine. Who knew that this guy would turn around and leave before he finished listening. Li Zexuan quickly pulled him back.
"Pfft, it's easy for you to say that. We worked tirelessly for so many days to make a paper machine, and you want to do something new? If you're so good, then do it. Don't call me, I have to go back and rest!"
Yan Shaoning spat in exasperation.
"Cough cough, Shaoning, listen to me first. This paper machine doesn't need to be troublesome. Its general structure is similar to the paper machine you made before. It's just that its dryer is more special. It's a dryer with a large diameter. On the other side of the dryer, there's a scraper to remove the wrinkles from the paper. "
Li Zexuan pulled Yan Shaoning and explained.
Yan Shaoning was puzzled. "If you do it this way, won't the paper be soft and fluffy? How do you write on this kind of paper?"
Faubert thought for a while and nodded in agreement. "Yes, young master, the paper you make can't be used at all!"
Li Zexuan immediately retorted. "Who said it can't be used? This kind of paper is soft and fluffy. Wouldn't it be extremely comfortable to use it to wipe your butt in the toilet?"
Yan Shaoning's face was full of black lines. He was really speechless towards Li Zexuan.
"Don't you have toilet paper chips to use in the toilet? Why do you have to do this? "
Li Zexuan stomped his feet. "Damn, the toilet paper is so hard. How do you use it? How can it be more comfortable than this soft paper? "
This was the most unacceptable thing for Li Zexuan after he transmigrated. He could live without a computer or a phone, but he couldn't live without toilet paper! Why the f * ck do you want me to use bamboo to wipe my butt?
"Then what do you usually use in the toilet, young master?"
Faubert couldn't help but ask.
"Cough cough, I asked someone to make the rice paper soft before using it. But this is really troublesome!"
Li Zexuan said after thinking for a while.
Faubert and Yan Shaoning suddenly felt a toothache. They really wanted to beat him up.
"What a waste! You … you … you brat, you're simply a refined scum! "
Yan Shaoning couldn't help but point at Li Zexuan's nose and scold.
Li Zexuan rubbed his nose and felt very helpless. Isn't it just wiping your ass with a piece of paper? It's so normal. Is there a need for that?
In the end, Yan Shaoning agreed to Li Zexuan's request. There was no other reason other than Li Zexuan saying that this thing could also make a lot of money.
…
After reducing the cost of paper, Li Zexuan let out a sigh of relief. As long as paper could be mass-produced, many of his later plans could be carried out smoothly.
Well, the most important thing was that the toilet paper problem was solved. He could finally see the most commonly used industrial product in ancient times. This made him feel a little closer.
After leaving the room, Li Zexuan went to the back hall. He wanted to see how Ma Zhou and the others were progressing.
When he pushed the door open and entered, he saw that there was an earth-shattering change inside. Dozens of tables were arranged in the hall. Each table was piled with all kinds of information. Then, dozens of middle-aged scholars were bent over the tables, carefully checking and recording. These must be the scholars sent by Li Tai and Li Chengqian.
Li Zexuan's arrival didn't cause any waves. Perhaps in these people's eyes, Li Zexuan wasn't as important as the documents in their hands!
"Lord Jue, you're here?"
Ma Zhou quietly came up to greet him. Li Zexuan nodded and also said softly, "Yes, Brother Ma, let's talk somewhere else."
Everyone here was busy with their own things. Li Zexuan really didn't have the heart to break the silence.
When they came to the next room, the two of them sat down. Li Zexuan asked, "Brother Ma, how is the compilation of the dictionary going?"
Ma Zhou cupped his hands and answered, "Lord Jue, His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Wei attached great importance to this matter. They sent a total of twelve scholars. A few days ago, the compilation of the dictionary was fully launched. Currently, it is steadily being carried out."
"Brother Ma, did these scholars deliberately make things difficult for you? Were they arrogant and rude? "
Ma Zhou looked a little embarrassed. He hesitated and said, "They didn't make things difficult. The compilation of the dictionary is more important than anything else. Presumably, Crown Prince and King of Wei have already told them. However, most of these scholars are knowledgeable people. They are more or less arrogant. I can understand. "
Li Zexuan frowned slightly. He had deliberately emphasized to Li Chengqian and Li Tai that the main person in charge of the compilation of the dictionary was Ma Zhou. He didn't expect that when it came to the final moment, those people would secretly look down on Ma Zhou.
"Brother Ma, who has been rude to you before? Tell me. I will tell Crown Prince and King of Wei. "
Li Zexuan had always attached great importance to Ma Zhou. Now, how could he sit by and do nothing?
Ma Zhou quickly waved his hand and said, "Lord Jue, there is no need to do this. Ma Zhou is just a commoner. Those scholars belong to the Rank Six Imperial Residence or the Eastern Palace. It is natural for me to be looked down on. However, I should be the one to fight back. Ma Zhou believes that with his talent and knowledge, I will definitely be able to make these scholars look down on me! "
Ma Zhou's meaning was clear. He would get back the face he lost in the future.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Brother Ma is so bold. Just based on this point, those scholars can't compare to Brother Ma!"
"Lord Jue, you flatter me!"
"Haha, that's good. If Brother Ma needs help in the future, just let me know. Oh, the workshop has finished the papermaking machine today. Our paper cost has been greatly reduced. Brother Ma, you can start the newspaper and the copying of ancient books. "
The most basic and most important technology of Qiqu Culture had been prepared. The copying of ancient books for sale and the publishing of newspapers had been completed. There were no more obstacles.
"Yes, Lord Jue is right. I have heard about the trial production of the papermaking machine today. I am also preparing for it. A few days ago, I have selected ten ancient books from the King of Wei's residence. We can start printing them. In less than five days, we can print four to five hundred books and sell them at Qiqu Culture Bookstore. "
Ma Zhou spoke slowly as if everything was under his control.
Li Zexuan nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's great. Brother Ma, it seems that we will be able to let all the scholars in Tang be able to read books soon."
Ma Zhou said happily, "That is true. Every time I think about participating in the cause of universal education, I am very excited. Now that I think about it, joining the workshop was probably the best decision I have made in my life. Oh, by the way, according to Lord Jue's previous suggestion, I have made a new edition of the newspaper. Lord Jue, do you think it is suitable? "
