After several days of experiments of forgetting to eat and sleep, the results were unexpectedly good. The real top-quality bamboo paper sheets were even, white in color, and as bright as jade, just like a beautiful woman with no threads, and she could not find any flaws on her body, full of the supreme temptation of vision and visual perception.

Xu You closed his eyes and gently stroked the paper with his fingers. After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and slapped, "It's done!"

Fang Kang, who had been staring at Xu You's expression, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He adjusted the ratio of children's urine and bamboo pulp day and night. The whole room was filled with a faint fishy smell, but it was not enough if it was too much or less. He bumped around the wall like a headless fly, but he could never find the way out. Until the day before yesterday, he accidentally kicked the remaining half of the barrel of Jingxi into the pulp pool. He barely copied paper and dried it in a heart that he did not waste resources. Who would have thought that he would achieve the most successful experiment so far.

"Please give me a name!"

Every new paper is made of, and a loud and pleasant name is given. Xu You thought for a while and said, "It's called... Yuanbai Paper!"

"Okay, Yuanbai, Yuanbai paper." Fang Kang was excited and his body was trembling gently when he spoke. Compared with the improvements made by Hepai on the basis of Yanxi paper, Yuanbai paper is completely a brand new paper product, unprecedented and unprecedented. Although he did not read, he also clearly understood that the two words Fang Kang would definitely leave a light but not dissipated mark on the history books.

This is an unattainable opportunity for many scholars to seek, but he met a very lowly paper maker. It was all thanks to Xu You. Fang Kang knelt down, his forehead touched the ground, and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Xu You smiled and helped him up, saying, "I should thank you. Without you, there would be no Yuanbai Paper. In the future, all those who cannot read books or buy paper will thank you for all your efforts today. This is a good thing with immeasurable merit."

Fang Kangle couldn't stop talking. He Ru could hear what Xu You said and said, "Qilang, the bamboo used in this Yuanbai paper must be transported from Fuchun County. After such a complicated process, the price is too low..."

He was worried that the selling price was lower than the cost and did a business that could not make money. Xu You smiled and said, "Although I don't want to be a profitable business, I don't want to be a saint. The current price of Yuanbai Paper cannot be lower than that of Yuhe Dazhi. First make enough money from the aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen, and then it is possible to rely on large-scale production to reduce the cost of single paper. By then, it will be time to fight a small profit but quick turnover, and it will be time to fight a price war!"

"Price war?"

"Yes, if we want paper products to become something that ordinary people can afford, we must pull all paper mills into the water, either lower the price together or be kicked out. It can be imagined how much resistance and slander we will be, and even pressure from all sides of the government and the opposition is no less than a war!"

Xu You said calmly, saying, "However, the paper shop has made enough money over the years. It's time for them to give back to the people!"

The successful development of Yuanbai Paper is still a top secret within Jingyuan. Except for a few people, no one knows that Xu You did not plan to open Yuanbai Paper in Sajinfang. When the new paper workshop at the foot of Mingyu Mountain is completed, there will be enough venues and skilled workers. Then he will negotiate with the Zhu family of Fuchun to buy bamboo, and everything will be ready. Then he can ride the wind and sway 90,000 miles to promote the paper revolution in the entire Jiangdong and even the north.

This is a great ideal and a arduous mission. It may take three to five years to finally realize it, and unexpected situations may occur, which will take longer to take time, but as long as you start doing it, there will always be a day of success.

Xu You didn't have to be the ribbon cutter after the building was completed. He just digs a shovel of soil and becomes the founder of the start of construction.

Time passes quickly, and the gold yard is still making money every day. Although Liu Yu has lost many territory in Yangzhou and the support of some large paper yards, Luo Baiheng and his huge commercial network have been sold from Hepa paper to Jiangzhou and Guangzhou during this period. Remote people such as Ningzhou and Yuezhou are also actively expanding the market. The demand is so large that it is not comparable to Yangzhou. Therefore, daily sales have not decreased but increased. Five thousand pieces of paper a day are often taken out before they are dried.

On the other hand, since Xu You gave the advanced technology of Sajinfang to Luo Baiheng and others for free, the output of the entire Yangzhou Paper Industry also rose at a staggering rate. The increase in total output did not reduce the price of paper products. This result was as expected by Xu You, mainly because of the insufficient production capacity before and the market development was far from enough. Many potential small customers in the 22 states of Jiangdong did not convert into real paying users. Now that the production capacity has increased, these people don’t buy much each time, but they can’t stand the huge amount. The speed of consuming paper is greater than the current production capacity, and the supply and demand relationship has not changed fundamentally, so the price of paper cannot be reduced for the time being.

This is a good phenomenon. The sales volume of paper mills is large, and the unit price remains unabated. The profit is astronomical. This can encourage them to continue to expand paper mills wildly and further increase production capacity. Until the supply exceeds demand, the average price of paper products will gradually decrease. This is also part of Xu You's plan. It is too difficult to change the entire industry by relying on him alone. Therefore, he is selfless and teaches Luo Baiheng and his papermaking technology. The purpose is to allow businessmen who pursue interests to follow the economic laws to contribute to Xu You's ideal building.

With money, and it is a huge wealth that makes people's heart beat faster. Xu You did not have a large-scale construction, no wealth, nor did he spend money or use it in a luxurious manner. He always thought about Liu Yu's real intention of hoarding rice and grain. Finally, he decided to follow up. He also secretly let the Lufrost and the Winter Solstice purchase a large amount of rice and grain from surrounding counties and other counties, some stored in Jingyuan and some stored in the new paper workshop in Mingyu Mountain. For this reason, a granary was specially built. Another part, which was also the largest part, was transported to a secret place in Mingyu Mountain to store it. It was the place where Guo's calligraphy and painting jewelry was protected from moisture and moisture, and it was best to store grain.

Xu You noticed something vaguely, but it was too illusory and didn't look at it very real. It was like doing financial speculation in later generations. Sometimes he didn't understand the intention of the big dealer, but he could follow the big dealer to build a rat warehouse and eat it. He said that in case, stocking up some food is not a bad thing. If it really rains heavily, it would not cost much money.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts push the mill, but in the face of the ghost weather that does not rain in March, even if Xu You, who counts money and cramps, is helpless. He relies on the weather to make a living, and only God can eat. Once drought and flood are a disaster, it will be a tragedy of starvation for thousands of miles. At the end of March, there is still no drop of rain. The weather has warmed up and everything is back to spring. The dryness of early spring is full of soil. The most important thing is that the national water conservancy project in this era is very lagging behind. Although Qiantang is watery, it is mainly concentrated in several large rivers. There is not enough canals, dams, ponds, water gates and other facilities, orange steaks, wheels, overturns and other tools.

The difficulty of obtaining water cannot play a big role in irrigating farmland on a large scale. There was a little panic in the market, starting from the tenants and refugees who lost land, then to free people who had land but lacked farm tools, and then the small landlords who could only rely on land to collect rents. The spread was extremely slow, but at least it had begun to affect the social stability of Qiantang. Many Helu parents asked to see Luhui, reflecting the panic of the people. Luhui was greedy for money, but not fools, and dared not neglect such major matters, so they quickly wrote a document to the county government. Gu Yun was in a mess at this time. He was not facing the drought in Qiantang County, but the entire Wu County.

As the location of the county and prefecture capital, Wu County has all basic water conservancy facilities ranked first in Yangzhou. The drought situation at this time can still be dealt with, but other counties are like Qiantang, unable to deal with such a situation alone. In the final analysis, the government needs to arrange it uniformly. If the drought situation breaks out, how to provide relief to the victims and comfort the local area will become the top priority at the moment.

However, due to the geographical environment of Yangzhou, such disasters rarely occur. There is no experience from top to bottom. Most officials are lazy and still have a lucky mentality. They hope that it will rain the next day, turn a blind eye to the government orders arranged by the county magistrate, or deal with things hastily, especially the people's emotions are not properly adjusted. As time goes by, more and more uneasiness accumulates and expands, becoming invisible to the naked eye. I don't know when a little spark can explode.

"Xiaolang, there are two villages outside the city fighting for water sources. At least two people died and dozens of people were injured. Lu Hui personally took the yamen to arrest him, which almost caused chaos in the people. If Du Sansheng’s old Taoist Zhou Quan had a prestige and had timely suppressed the villagers, he might have caused a big trouble!"

As April begins, there is already a boiling summer heat wave, and God still has no sign of a rainfall. Many shallow rivers have dried up. Even the Biyou River next to the Jinfang has gone from rushing to a trickle. Xu You ordered the suspension of the operation of the paper shop. When it is a problem for people and animals to eat water, it is undoubtedly a matter of anger and resentment from heaven. He would rather not make this money than lose his conscience.

On the eighth day of the April 1st, the birth of Buddha Shakyamuni, which is called the so-called Buddha Bathing Festival. As the most grand festival of every year in Buddhism, Dade Temple, which has not been moving for a long time, has made great efforts to open the mountain gate, spread Buddhism, attract believers, and compete with the Taoist Taoist Tianshi. Therefore, at the end of March, all the renovation projects of Dade Temple were completed, and from the inside out, there was no trace of its predecessor, the Taoist Tianshi Yuanyang Jinglu.

The entire project consumes a huge amount. According to rumors from outside, it is 50 million yuan, and all the palaces and pavilions are ingenious. Just as the main hall is thirteen rooms wide, two rows of columns, 55 feet of beams, and a full wooden structure. It makes full use of column nets, scrolls, and generation and other construction techniques to achieve the unity of strength and beauty. Opposite to the main hall, it is also the center of Dade Temple. A five-story tower is built, which is a flat square, with wooden brake columns that run through the upper and lower. The outer edges of the column are made of multi-layer wooden tower body, a gold and copper bottle on the top of the column and several layers of exposed plates to form the tower brake. The column columns of each layer of tower body are equipped with railings, and a paving layer composed of brackets and beams, supporting the eaves. A horizontal sleeping beam is placed on the tower eaves rafters, and an upper eaves column is erected on the beams. This is repeated to the top of the tower.

The wood used is the best trees such as fir, willow, nan, camphor, etc. in various places. The craftsmen used also gathered famous masters from Jinling and Yangzhou. From mountain gates to windows, they can be compared with palaces. When they walk inside, they feel solemn and dare not look directly at them.
