Heroes of Silver Moon

The next day, the yard where Simon produced cheap paper was protected by the royal guards.

Under the watchful eyes of these soldiers, a gorgeous platinum carriage slowly drove into the courtyard.

Clifford got out of the carriage and saw Simon beside the crown prince at a glance, which made the corners of his mouth twitch.

Ma De, if you don't come to class when school starts, it turns out that you came here.

"His Royal Highness, Sir Ilsa", Clifford obviously knew them, and greeted the two crown princes as soon as they got out of the car.

"Master Clifford," the two quickly replied.

"Yo, teacher, it's you!" Simon said with emotion, pretending to be stupid.

There are two high-level alchemists in the Silvermoon Kingdom, and Clifford is the only one who serves the royal family, so it is only natural for Clifford to come here.

"Hmph," Clifford stretched out his hand directly in front of Simon.

"Um, this is", Clifford's action made Simon a little confused.

Clifford said with disgust: "School starts on June 1st, but you didn't come, I paid the tuition for you!"

"Ah!", Simon was embarrassed, he was busy making paper here, and even forgot about the start of school.

Seeing the embarrassing situation, Sir Ilsa hurried out to smooth things over: "Hehe, Master Clifford, there is no rush, please come here because we have a big project here."

After telling Clifford the whole situation, Clifford also had a pained expression on his face.

cheap paper? Does this thing really exist?

With a dubious attitude, Clifford visited the paper-making workshop created by Simon.

"Wori", after visiting the process of making cheap paper, Clifford looked at Simon, and his eyes became hot immediately.

Using wood as raw material, using lime water to separate the impurities in the wood, and then repeatedly cooking, bleaching, and decomposing with lime water, the raw material of pulp can be produced.

How did my student come up with this idea!

"How about it, Master Clifford, can you optimize the production process so that every piece of paper produced has the same quality and thickness?" Sir Ilsa asked anxiously.

Clifford nodded directly: "No problem, the papermaking process is perfect. Improve the filter screen used for papermaking and add some herbal raw materials to the pulp tank, and the problem should be solved."

Hearing what Clifford said, both the Crown Prince and Sir Ilsa breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that it can be resolved, the Royal Chamber of Commerce will be able to expand production.

In the next few days, Clifford made a more standard papermaking filter, so that no matter which worker is using the filter to make paper, the thickness of the paper will be roughly the same!

And in order to solve the problem of different quality, Clifford deliberately added some common herbal raw materials in the pulp tank, so that the pulp concentration in the pulp tank is more dispersed and more even.

In this way, the quality of each paper is basically maintained at the average value.

After Clifford's improvement, the workers did use a new round of pulp to produce cheap paper with more stable quality and thickness.

After the crown prince confirmed that there was no problem, he hurried to the palace and reported the situation to the old king.

The old king was also very grand, and with a wave of his hand, he poured all the resources of the Royal Chamber of Commerce on Simon's side.

With the permission of the old king, Sir Ilsa raised a budget of 5,000 gold coins from the Royal Chamber of Commerce that day.

He spent 20 gold coins to buy the originally rented yard, and spent another 100 gold coins to directly buy the one-acre land around the yard.

Under Simon's guidance, the Royal Chamber of Commerce tore down the original yard and rebuilt a large yard directly on this acre of land.

After the wall was built, Simon asked the Royal Chamber of Commerce to divide the courtyard into three parts.

The first part is the cooking and steaming workshop, which covers half of the entire yard. There are two hundred kilns neatly arranged here, as well as several clear water pools, which are used to cook wood into pulp.

The second part is the papermaking workshop, which covers a quarter of the entire yard. There are pulp ponds arranged here, and there is a wooden table next to each pulp pond.

After the pulp is made in the cooking workshop, the cooking workers will carry the pulp here, and then the papermakers will pour it into the pulp tank for papermaking.

The paper-making workers stacked the paper film on the wooden table layer by layer with neat and smooth wooden boards, and squeezed out the excess water.

The third part is the paper-drying workshop. Every time the paper-making workers make a hundred sheets of paper, the paper-drying workers will carry the paper here for air-drying.

After the paper is dried, these drying workers also check whether the paper is intact.

If the paper is damaged, they will put the damaged paper in the room responsible for the defective products, and then the Royal Chamber of Commerce will make them into toilet paper for toilet use.

If the paper is intact, the workers will use ropes to bundle them into stacks, and then hand them over to the Royal Chamber of Commerce for sale.

Assembly line operation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Each worker is only responsible for his own work, which not only ensures that the workers can get started as soon as possible, but also prevents someone from leaking the complete technology.

This kind of papermaking technology on Blue Star is very simple, as long as you have seen the complete process, it will be copied out soon.

Therefore, Simon has a strong sense of confidentiality. Even the first dozen or so workers, Simon did not let them see the complete process.

Now apart from Simon, the only people who know the whole process are the crown prince, Sir Ilsa, and Simon's teacher Clifford.

Simon knew that as long as this kind of paper starts to be sold, the forces that are jealous of the profits will definitely try their best to steal the technology, and they will definitely succeed.

Although the workers carried out separation operations, and although there were Royal Guards guarding the courtyard, there was no way to stop those "wishful people" with these two measures alone!

But Simon doesn't need it, and has been sticking to this papermaking technology.

As long as the profits shared in the past few years are enough for him to learn alchemy, then he will naturally copy other technologies on Blue Star.

In other words, as long as this technology can be monopolized for three years, Simon will be satisfied.

The Royal Chamber of Commerce rushed to work and recruited workers while building the yard. It took a full month to turn Simon's idea into reality.

In September, the whole paper-making workshop was fully prepared, so it officially started to produce cheap paper in large quantities.

Looking at the house in the center of the paper-making workshop, Simon and Clifford breathed a sigh of relief at the same time as the workshop officially started.

During this month, Simon was responsible for the specific planning, and Clifford was responsible for the modification and implementation. Not only did they have to work overtime to catch up, but they also had to deal with various emergencies, which exhausted them.
