Machi pulled Jiayi to the paper mill.

She showed Jiayi the paper she had made recently, spreading out one by one, and showing it in front of Jiayi.

The front one looks brighter, with a crisp and smooth tentacle, and a delicate texture. It is better than the paper that Jiayi has seen before. Even if it is not much worse than the rice paper that he has seen before.

Seeing Jiayi paying attention to this piece of paper, Machi introduced: "This is a paper that adds elves straw pulp, which has a very good effect and can even retain a small part of the magic power on it."

"Oh?" Jiayi was surprised. This was a big discovery. "Can you make a scroll?"

Markey shook his head helplessly: "No, although it can reside in magic, the magic that can reside is too weak to portray rune magic arrays. Even if the portrayal is successful, there is no power at all. However, we are conducting experiments and hope to make paper that can copy the scroll."

If you can really make the paper for scrolls, Jiayi can already see the money for this matter. You don’t have to be too high-end. You just need to be able to make the most ordinary scrolls, and then the profits will come.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if this paper is considered dawn.

Apart from the first piece of paper with the best quality, the remaining paper is much worse in quality that can be seen by the naked eye.

However, these papers have their own characteristics. Some are thinner, some are cheaper, and some are very soft. When it comes to the last few sheets of paper, the quality of these papers is obviously much worse. Even if they are folded, they can almost not stand. They are like napkins.

Jiayi was determined to ask them to produce more paper like this, which could be used as toilet paper. Now Jiayi also uses paper when going to the toilet, but it is the old-fashioned inferior paper, and the friction chrysanthemums hurt a little. But this is already pretty good. Originally, it could only be solved by using leaves.

But now he doesn't have to worry about not bringing paper. He can directly control the water flow to rinse and dry it, but he is not used to it.

Unfortunately, the production capacity of paper mills today cannot keep up, so it is really a waste to produce toilet paper.

However, one of them looks a little firmer, but the quality is still much worse than the paper in front. Jia Yi drips a few drops of water on this piece of paper, and the water droplets quickly penetrated into it.

"This paper has good water absorption, but some are too good. It is not very convenient for writing. It is easy to break if it is heavy. However, this paper is made of wood pulp, which is much cheaper than the white paper in front and has a much simpler process."

Machi looked at the paper that Jiayi picked up and introduced to him.

Jiayi used to make paper with bark, hemp, vine and other materials. It did not have much application for tree trunks, but in this case, it would be a bit wasteful. The straight trunk can of course be used as materials. It can be used for construction or home construction, but the branches are useless.

Moreover, they use fast-growing trees to make paper. The wood is not particularly hard and is not ideal as furniture or building materials. So Loriel and the others ground the wood part that has been peeled off the bark into wood pulp to make the current paper.

The same is true for those "toilet papers", made of wood pulp.

Jia Yi heard that the cost was low. When he looked at the paper in his hand, he felt a familiar feeling. He suddenly remembered that this paper is very similar to the paper used in newspapers. It should be called newsprint, and it is also made of wood pulp. It has good water absorption and the ink drys quickly. It is suitable for printing newspapers with large amounts of distribution.

There are magazines but no newspapers in the current market. Because parchment is mainly used, the cost is too high, and publishing magazines is a big loss. It is mainly supported by some large organizations to expand their influence, share knowledge, and is promoted by the highest parliamentary administrative force.

But if you want to print newspapers, it won’t work. Not to mention whether there is so much news, the cost can make people shocked and dispel this idea.

When Jia was attracted to this paper similar to newsprint, he became interested. If he could be better, the newspaper would have great potential.

However, the specific performance needs to be verified.

After visiting the paper mill, Jiayi took a few pieces of "newsprints" to Gwen.

Gwen once helped Jiayi and the others publish their "Collection of Plant Classifications of the Academy". Now it is used as a textbook for the college and has a relationship with a publisher, so Jiayi came to Gwen for help.

After hearing Jiayi's purpose, Gwen took the paper in Jiayi's hand and looked carefully: "This paper is indeed not as good as what you used to bring. Do you want to use this paper to print the so-called newspaper?"

Jia nodded: "Yes, the current publications are all academic. Of course, this is because parchment is too expensive, so it cannot be popularized. But now with new paper, it is different. The cost is greatly reduced. It can be not limited to academic knowledge. It can be published in some market news, novel news, poetry, novels, etc. You can also charge advertising fees in the future, and there must be great potential."

In fact, Jiayi didn't say anything about it. The most important thing about newspapers is a public opinion position. When the Internet did not appear, newspapers and other publications were the most important frontline for public opinion. Whoever can master the newspaper will have a considerable right to speak for public opinion.

Jiayi did not have the idea of ​​public opinion. With his current small body, he would be a bit ambitious when thinking about this, just like the author thinking about becoming the richest man, even if he was in the village, it would not be easy.

But this does not mean that Jiayi doesn't want to get a piece of the pie, at least get a share of the pie.

Although Gwen did not expect Jiayi to be so long, he also realized the benefits of newspapers. It is not like the current publications such as "The Witcher", "Electromagnetic", "Elements", and "Life". It is too professional and not friendly to ordinary people. The newspapers envisioned by Jiayi are targeted at ordinary people, and are very beneficial for the dissemination of knowledge and the spread of ideas in the world of wizards.

If it were hundreds of years ago, there was a tradition of self-confidence among mages and was not willing to communicate too much, even when the college was teaching students, there was a way to keep it.

However, since the rise of modern magic, especially after the vigorous promotion of the legendary wizards such as Magic Emperor Clay Isaac and Thunder Lord Iknomi Magnay, the current wizards are happy to see the promotion and dissemination of knowledge - except for a few old-fashioned people, these people are almost on the verge of elimination of the times.

Gwen told Jiayi: "If it is just used to verify the feasibility of this newspaper, you don't have to go to the printing company. They usually have printing tasks and it is impossible to squeeze out time to verify the printing of this newspaper with you, which will affect their business."

After Gwen said this, Jiayi also knew that he took it for granted. It would be best to ask someone to help him, and it would be better not to affect others. It would be a bit too much to ask others to stop work now. Even if they agree, it would be hard to guarantee that they would not complain behind their backs.

Seeing Jiayi's frustrated look, Gwen smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, there is no way."

Hearing this, Jiayi immediately stared at Gwen, wanting to see what good ideas she had.

"Once upon a time, the dean wanted to run a publication in the college, but it was not done later. However, he bought a magic printing machine. It was not big. He could print five or six thousand pieces of paper a day. You can borrow this for your experiments. At that time, thousands of gold coins were purchased, but later it was idle."

"That's great." Jiayi was overjoyed, but was a little confused, "Why didn't the college publication be established?"

The college has a large population, and there is also Beishui City nearby, and the literacy rate is also high. In theory, there are not many potential customers, so why did the magazine get rid of it?

"It's not a cost issue. Even publications like the four major magazines cannot make money. For example, we are limited to the college's small magazines, which are not as good as other professional magazines. The price is not cheap and cannot be sold much. Several colleges have the idea of ​​running magazines, but except for those who are backed by the Supreme Council, the rest of the family have not been completed. The cost is too high and the sales volume is small. Now even Mosache has the idea of ​​stopping its own publications. It is meaningless to maintain such a publication.

"If you can really get the newspaper in hand, the dean will definitely be happy."
