Luo Yong looked at this method of making straw paper from a newspaper, and was sandwiched into his second-hand books. The title was "The Production and Rise and Fall of Earth Paper".

When Luo Yong was young, he was impressed by the paper, in addition to smelly soap, there was another thing, that is straw paper. The paper was yellow and rough, with a hardness to the touch, and was relatively thick. It could be bought for a dime. Luo Yong used the paper at home when he was young. Until later, the softer and whiter machine paper came out, and soon occupied the market.

Luo used this time to make paper. What he really wanted to do was this kind of straw paper. The reason why he said that before was just to be stupid.

Papermaking involves a lot of things. It would be great if everyone in those aristocratic families could treat this straw paper as a joke.

If they cannot regard this matter as a joke, they will be helpless. The method of making straw paper has been spread anyway anyway. I believe it won’t be long before. Driven by the wisdom of the masses, technology will be constantly improved, and various better papers will be made by ordinary people.

As the general trend is, this matter can no longer be stopped by the gentry members. For the sake of the present plan, I am afraid that I can do nothing except erase the Luo coffin board to vent my anger.

But if you really want to touch that coffin board, you have to consider his current influence...

At this time, people attack Luo Yong. Not to mention that Li Shiren could not agree, I am afraid that someone would stand up and speak for him in the entire Central Plains region. When it comes to speaking for justice, people at this time would really not be bad at all.

Luo used his actions over the years to win him the love of many people. First, there was the method of making soap that made all farmers remember his method of burning fire dung, and then brought a new atmosphere to the grassland people. Although it was nicknamed the coffin board, the people's love for him was unquestionable.

In addition, the attitude of the one above is also somewhat unpredictable. In this era, the power between the royal power and the aristocratic families was originally in a state of subtle balance.

Even if Li Shimin didn't like the coffin board, it would not affect his use of this as an excuse to deal with the gentry members after Luo Yong's accident. At that time, his army became famous and supported by the people, and those gentry members would probably not be able to support them. What's more, these gentry groups were not particularly united, and there were various interests and entanglements within.

It is precisely because of this general environment that Luo Yong dared to openly make paper this time and dug up the corners of the gentry.

"Selling straw paper! It's so good!" In mid-July, in Lishi County, some villagers carrying loads selling straw paper can often be seen in the streets and alleys of Lishi County.

The summer harvest was just over in June, and the crops that should be planted in the second half of the year have been planted now. It is the time for slack farming. In early July, Luo Sanlang from Naxipo Village failed to make paper, but instead made toilet paper. I heard that toilet paper is not difficult to make, the materials are just straw and lime.

Some of them were very active, so they went to Xipo Village to find Na Luo Sanlang to learn the method of making paper. After learning the craftsmanship, they went home to make paper and came to the city for sale. So soon, many families in Lishi County said goodbye to toilet paper and used toilet paper.

"How do you sell this straw paper?" In the alley, a family stood inside the courtyard wall and asked. The wall of his house was short, not half a person tall, and it did not hinder communication through a wall.

"One penny costs two kilograms." said the man carrying the load.

"Is it enough?" the man in the yard said, and walked a few more steps to the wall of the yard, and placed the broom in his hand by the wall.

"My husband just worry. My straw paper is thin and thin, and each pile weighs more than one pound. If you don't believe it, just weigh it." The man carrying the load also put down the load at this time. There were a basket on both ends of the load, and the straw paper was piled up layer by layer on the basket.

The farmer selling straw paper pulled out a few pieces of straw paper from the gap in the basket and handed it to the other party. The man in the yard took it over and looked at it, and asked again: "Can you harvest corn?"

"Then you have to let me see what your corn looks like in your house. If it is good, exchange a liter of corn for one pound." The straw seller is obviously not willing to harvest corn. The summer harvest has just ended, and there is a lot of new grain at home. Besides, the corn at this time is all from last year. If some people do not store it well, they may have worms.

"Okay, give me two pounds." The man inside the wall said, and took the pieces of straw paper in his hand into his clothes, then took out a penny and put it on the wall.

"Okay." The man who sold the straw paper agreed, happily took two piles of straw paper bundled with wheat straw from the load and handed it to the other party. Then he packed the penny and carried the load and continued to sell along the alley.

"Selling straw paper, straw paper."

"Oh, the straw paper seller, here."

"Okay."

"How do you sell straw paper?"

"Two stacks of one penny."

"I want ten cents, how much can you give?"

"My house has twelve piles of straw paper, and ten cents and twenty-five piles of straw paper."

"Show me what your straw paper looks like."

"OK."

“…”

“…”

About an hour later, the farmer sold out all the straw paper in the load, carrying a small bag of malt sugar and more than twenty copper coins in his arms, happily carrying the load out of the city with a load.

The village of his family is not far from Shi County. After leaving the city gate, you can walk along the county road. You can get home in about an hour and a half. When you go back now, you can still process the straw that you had soaked in the jar before dark. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be straw paper for sale in another two or three days.

They have these straws made of straw paper at home. When they were harvested in summer, they were piled up outside their yard. They were either used to burn fire or feed livestock in winter, but they didn't expect that they could earn a lot of money for him now.

After three or four days of busy life, the family could make a batch of straw paper, pick it up and sell it, and get more than twenty cents. He didn't even dare to think about this kind of good thing in the past.

The scorching sun above his head, but he didn't bother him at all. He walked quickly on the yellow mud road with his rough feet wearing shabby straw sandals, step by step steadily and fast.

His parents married in the same village. Last year, he just gave birth to a little nephew for him. The boy looked so greedy. When he saw other people's babies eating candy, he kept drooling. This time he took the bag of malt sugar back, and I don't know how happy he would be...

At this moment, in Xipo Village.

Luo Sanlang is teaching people to make straw paper. As for the professor's location, it is naturally the Luo family yard, and all the materials are provided by Luo Sanlang.

Luo Sanlang is responsible for teaching these people how to make straw paper, and these people are responsible for helping him make straw paper. It is true that tuition fees are not charged, but at least he has to earn some labor for himself, otherwise he will lose money no matter how he thinks, and it will take some time to teach people skills.

In fact, there is nothing particularly difficult about making straw paper. Some of them are skillful. After hearing the specific steps, they can tinker at home. However, most people are still not so smart and lack confidence in themselves. They can teach them here, so they come to learn it.

Luo is not picky about people this time. No matter whether it is a man, woman, old, old, tall, fat, thin, as long as he comes, he will teach you the same thing, but he only collects five people at most every time. If there is too much, he will queue up behind him.

That night, after dinner, the brothers and sisters tidied up the straw paper they made on the shelves.

"Brother, what's the use of making so much straw paper in our family? But do you want to sell it?" Si Niang tied a stack of straw paper neatly and asked.

"We don't sell straw paper in our house." Luo Yong replied while rubbing the straw in his hand softly, "These papers will be placed in the store for later use."

"Packing things?" Goro wondered: "What are you doing with things?"

"It's just wrap the things up first, and then sell them." Luo Yong scratched his chin. He thought that it was hard to explain it clearly with just one mouth, so he simply pulled out a piece of straw paper, took a few pieces of smelly soap from the shelf, used straw paper to pack the pieces of soap, and then tied them up with a piece of colorful hemp rope. After looking at it, it seemed that something was missing, so he said to Si Niang: "You can help me carve a seal of groceries from north and south tomorrow."

"I'll carve it now." Si Niang has been practicing carving a lot recently. The words "normal groceries" are familiar to her. If she doesn't seek quality, she can carve it out in just a few seconds.

With seals, there will naturally be ink paste. There is no cinnabar or other shop in his shop, but there are some dyes. I bought them last time to make soap.

Luo chose several colors, but in the end he chose the green color that is relatively cheap and has a relatively good-looking color. He took out some and mixed them with clean water, found a piece of wool felt cushion, cut a small piece with scissors, and placed it in the pottery bowl filled with dye, so that it could absorb enough of the mixed dye, so that it could be used as ink.

After a moment of unworthiness, a square green seal was printed on the outer packaging of the soap that had just been packaged: "North and South Groceries".

The texture of the earthy yellow straw paper is quite hard and is more suitable for packaging. A colorful twine is tied on the outside and a green stamp is finally placed on top. It looks not ugly, it has a bit of ancient charm, and it does not cost much money.

I won’t talk about the straw paper. Even if the Luo family doesn’t make it by themselves, they can buy two kilograms for a penny. This price is within the acceptance range of Luo Yong. If you buy more at one time, the price will be discounted.

The green dye used for stamping is also not expensive. As for those colorful twine lines, the wires are secondary lines that the King of Tuo was reclaimed. This wire cannot be spun with cloth due to uneven thickness or other reasons, and the price is relatively low. As for dyeing, the tank base material used in Xue Ji Bufang. The dye is relatively not so good. In addition, there is only the bottom of the tank, and there is less dye. If it is used to dye cloth, it will be difficult to dye evenly. It is suitable to dye these twine lines for Luo, and Luo is affordable, so Xue Weng and others can also get some money back.

Luo Yong puts these things in a grocery store, and not all goods have to be forcibly packaged. It mainly depends on the customer's wishes. After all, recently, jokes about his failure to make toilet paper have been widely circulated. Some people may have prejudice against straw paper.

The next day, two batches of soap were released in the Luo family yard. After Luo Yong and the merchants who came to pick up the soap, they ordered the goods and coins in person, and asked them: "Do you want to pack it?"

"There is still packaging?" the other party said.

"It's just a simple packaging to protect against dust." Luo Yong said, and took down a piece of soap that Shiniang and Wuro who were wearing last night and showed it to them.

"If you want it, you have to pack all these soaps for us." The packaging looks good. Although it is not luxurious, it looks a bit like that. The main reason is that there is a stick of groceries from north and south. You know, the soap produced by Luo Sanlang is much easier to sell than elsewhere.

"Okay." Luo Yong agreed readily, reached out and took a few stacks of straw paper from the shelves.

Si Niang reached out to take the stacks of straw papers, and instead of wrapping them directly, she folded the paper in half, then used a knife to make a piece of straw paper into two.

"How can such a small piece of paper be wrapped in a piece of soap?" One of the merchants felt a little funny when they saw that the little girl, who was about ten years old, knew how to calculate so carefully.
