Chapter 119 The Village Chief Returns

    

re. Even with Isabella, you absolutely would not be allowed to stay in M country.It seems that Huo Qingchi's words triggered something in Jiashi Ran, as she had indeed calmed down." Huo Qingzhi, do y...What's the most profitable

Of course it's printing money!

However, this idea is very bold and ambitious. It would take some time to implement.

However, now we can enter the preparation stage!

In the new design workshop, people are huddled in small groups, studying something intently.

Du Jing saw Yang Lin and immediately came over to greet him.

"Lin Di, we've researched a new kind of paper. I call this new paper 'ripe paper,' come and have a look!"

Du Jing excitedly pulled Yang Lin aside to look at that kind of new paper.

Yang Lin was also taken aback when he saw it.

Before this, the paper they had improved was similar to "shengxuan" in rice paper. But Du Jing and his team actually made paper similar to "shuxuan" based on shengxuan!

"Lin Di, look at this kind of paper. It's sturdier, smoother, and doesn't absorb ink easily or show through. It's perfect for the printing technique you mentioned!"

Yang Lin looked carefully, the more he looked the more surprised he became.

"Yes, this is exactly the paper I need!"

Yang Lin let out a long sigh.

Before the invention of printing, all books in the Dàqián dynasty had to be copied by hand. This not only made them incredibly expensive but also limited the use of small print because the paper at the time absorbed ink very well. Even if someone had invented printing, it wouldn't have been possible to print small characters due to this issue.

And now this kind of "experienced paper" is just right for printing with the printing press, especially suitable for printing books!

Great, very good!

Yang Lin nodded and said, "I have another suggestion for you. You could combine the methods of making raw paper and cooked paper to create a semi-cooked paper."

"Semi-cooked paper has both the characteristic of being easy to absorb ink and suitable for writing, and it strengthens the flexibility of the paper. In this way, we now have three new kinds of paper."

Du Jing's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes!"

He suddenly slapped his forehead: "How could I have not thought of that! Lin, you're a genius!"

Du Jing excitedly shook Yang Lin's shoulders.

Yang Lin smiled wryly. He wasn't a genius, just stating the theories of Sheng Xuan and Shu Xuan from his past life.

"Jing Ge, the reason I came to find you this time is because there's an important matter that needs your help. I need you to research a new type of paper. This paper has to be sturdier and whiter than regular paper! Most importantly, it needs to have watermarks!"

"Watermark What's that"

Du Jing was puzzled.

This kind of paper looks normal under regular light. But when you look at it in the sunlight or a bright place, you can see patterns or markings hidden within the paper that are not easily noticeable.

"Huh"

Du Jing was astonished again.

"This... this can't be possible, right"

Paper is just paper. How could there possibly be patterns in paper

Of course.

Yang Lin spoke, picking up the three pieces of paper in front of him. He first took the middle one and tore a round hole in it. Then, he placed the two complete papers, one in front of the other, with the one with the round hole sandwiched in between. Finally, he held the stacked papers towards the sunlight.

Du Jing was stunned.

Through the sunlight, he clearly saw the circular mark! But on the surface of the paper, there was nothing unusual.

"I see!"

Du Jing suddenly realized.

"Yang Lin shook his head. "Jing ge, you mustn't be restricted by this method. Besides this, you can use oil to smear the markings, or use some whiter and brighter materials as the middle layer."

In short, just use your imagination and you'll achieve the desired effect!

Du Jing frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked in puzzlement, "This kind of watermarked paper you're talking about is indeed magical, but what use is it"

He could be certain that even if such watermark paper could be produced, the cost would be at least several times that of ordinary paper! But what purpose would it serve

He couldn't have imagined it.

Yang Lin smiled: "The effect can't be said for now, I can only tell you that if this kind of paper can be made, it will be another invention that subverts the times!"

"Okay," Du Jian nodded, then pondered for a moment before saying, "With these ideas you've provided, it wouldn't be difficult to create this kind of paper. A few days should be enough."

"So fast"

Yang Lin was also taken aback.

He hadn't planned on bringing out the banknotes just yet. He had only intended for Du Jing to study them first. When everything was ready, it would naturally fall into place.

If the watermark paper is created in advance, then other aspects also need to be prepared in advance!

There are still many things to study, such as printing, ink, gunpowder, soap, glass, shipbuilding, and real water mills...

These haven't been brought up yet.

If we continue at this rate, it will be far too slow!

"Jing Ge, you need to expand the scale even further!"

Yang Lin stated resolutely.

Du Jing was startled again: "Expand it further This is enough, isn't it"

He used to be alone, then Yang Lin sent him five people, and now there are over twenty people in the design studio!

In Du Jing's view, it was just a matter of designing some things, and there were already enough people on hand.

"No, not even close!"

Yang Lin undoubtedly shook his head.

"Jing Ge, you must always remember that technology is always the strongest productivity! No matter how much you invest in improving technology, it will never be too much!"

"Xiao Jiu, remember this."

"Hmm."

Xiao Jiu immediately took out his notebook.

Yang Lin looked up, contemplating for a moment before speaking slowly:

"The Design Studio Phase III plan: The first phase, which is now, will recruit another thirty talented individuals with technical skills or rich imaginations in the field of invention and creation."

Meanwhile, to the east of our new house, we're adding a new building for the Design Studio, which will be called the Design Institute! At that time, the Design Studio will also officially be renamed the Design Institute.

"The Design Institute requires that the main building occupy at least twenty acres, with a four-story design, three floors above ground and one floor below ground, with at least twenty rooms on each floor!"

"To construct warehouses, secret rooms, basements, study rooms, libraries, and laboratories in the courtyard."

"The courtyard walls and outer structures imitate our new house, with moats dug and security measures added."

"Notify the construction team that they can start leveling the land and laying the foundation this afternoon. I will finish the detailed drawings tonight and send them tomorrow."

In the second phase, after relocating to the new design institute, the number of personnel at the design institute increased to 200! The second phase is expected to be completed within the year.

"The third stage is when the design institute expands to over 500 people and establishes a sound talent selection method. This allows for the creation of a Design Academy to attract the most talented individuals from across the land!"

After Yang Lin finished speaking, both Du Jing and Xiao Jiu who were listening, stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

After a long pause, Du Jing swallowed hard and gave Yang Lin a thumbs up.

"Wow! Compared to bragging, I'm completely outmatched!" Du Jing bowed slightly.

Yang Lin just smiled.

Isn't that bragging It won't be long before everyone understands.

"By the way, how's the paper mill doing How much paper have you made"

Xia Jiu hurriedly said, "Now the paper mill produces about 10,000 sheets of new paper per day. Yesterday, 20,000 sheets of paper were transported to Yang's Trading Company in town."

Just then, a surprised voice came from outside the door: it was Bao Wei's bodyguard, Kong Liang.

"Master, the village head is back!"

Yang Lin was also startled upon hearing this.ing....But the most important thing is still steelmaking!In the afternoon, after finishing his other tasks, Yang Lin arrived at the courtyard where the iron-making workshop was located."Lin Di is here...
