The paper in this is the paper made by Zhengliang's papermaking method. Of course, after the Ming Dynasty craftsmen came, they added some techniques they knew. Since the main raw material was bamboo, Zhengliang called it "bamboo paper".

The method of making paper is as follows. Cut the tender bamboo into five to seven feet apart, select the land and open a pond, and irrigate it. In order to prevent the pond water from drying up, use a bamboo guide tube to lure the water in. Soak it for 100 days, take out the bamboo and then beat it with a wooden stick. Finally, wash off the thick shell and green skin. At this time, the bamboo ramen is like ramie, then mix it with lime and mix it into ru liquid, put it in a bucket and cook for eight days and eight nights.

After cooking, stop heating for a day. Uncover the bucket and take out the bamboo hemp. Put it in a clean pond to rinse it. The bottom and surroundings of the floating pond should be made with wooden boards to prevent contamination of mud. After washing the bamboo hemp, soak it with wood ash water, then put it in the pot and spread it flat, and lay straw ash about an inch thick. After boiling, move the bamboo hemp into another bucket and continue to rinse it with wood ash water. After cooling the wood ash water, boil it and then rinse it. In this way, after more than ten days, the bamboo hemp will naturally rot and smell. Take it out and put it in the mortar and pound it into a mud, pour it into the papermaking tank.

The papermaking tank is like a square bucket, and the size of the papermaking curtain is determined by the size of the paper. Place clean water in the papermaking tank, and the water surface is about three inches higher than the bamboo pulp. Add paper and medicine juice, so that the paper made will be very white when dry. The papermaking curtain is made of extremely finely scraped bamboo wire, and there is a wooden frame to support it when it is unfolded. Hold the papermaking curtain in both hands and put it in the water, swaying the bamboo pulp and let it enter the papermaking curtain. The thickness of the paper can be controlled by human methods. Master: light is thin, and heavy is thick. Lift the papermaking curtain, and the water will pour back the papermaking tank from the curtain eye; then flip the curtain net and let the paper fall on the wooden board.

Thousands of sheets are stacked. When the number is enough, press a wooden board, tie a rope and insert it into a stick, twist it tightly, press the moisture dry by using a method similar to squeezing wine, and then lift the paper one by one with small copper tweezers to dry it. When baking paper, first build two walls with earth bricks to form a clamping lane, and use bricks to cover the fire channel at the bottom. The bricks covered in the clamping lane leave a space for every few bricks. The fire burns from the furnace entrance at the end of the lane, and the hot air leaks out from the gaps in the blank bricks to fill the entire clamping lane. When the bricks on the outer wall of the clamping lane are heated, the wet paper is posted one by one to dry, and then peeled down and put it into a stack. In this way, the bamboo paper is made.

At present, the paper in the territory is completely self-sufficient, and Zhengliang even took these papers to a house opened by Zhengliang and several wives and concubines and Taijiu Ling. The teaching progress of various Luoshi institutions has also accelerated a lot due to the free provision of paper, which has greatly accelerated the promotion of Mandarin and Simplified Chinese characters.

Just when the residence of the Luo family lord was in a warm and joyful mood, an important assessment was being held in the city of Shifu Temple.

"Is the information true?" asked Dong Shang, a young man in his twenties.

"The information is true. A few times ago, the Luo family suddenly launched a long-planned strategy in the righteousness of avenging his father-in-law Matsuura Yoshinobu, and within a few times, Imanli, Uematsuura, Shisa, and Goto were destroyed one after another, and even the Omura family was driven out of the west coast of Omura Bay. Including the Hado family's territory in Matsuura County, which was forced to retreat to Iki Island, the Luo family now controls the entire Matsuura County and part of the Kishima County. According to rumors, during the conflict between the head of the Luo family and the Omura family, he rushed into the Omura family's formation alone, and killed Watanabe Jun Tsuna and Miyahara Jun Fang, among the seven warriors of the Omura family, and cut off Fujisaki Jun Kinha, and seriously injured Omura Jun Tsuna, which was extremely brave," Odai Masahiro reported.

"When did this family appear and why did it rise recently?" Shao Yan Dongshang asked in confusion.

Everyone in the meeting hall shook their heads and didn't know. Obviously, they all knew nothing about the situation of the Luo family.

"Your Highness, no matter how the Luo family is in the following situation, according to the current situation, it has already threatened our family and must be completely controlled or even killed," Lai Zhou of the horse court asserted.

"How to exhaust it? How to kill it?" Shao Yan Dongshang asked.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have a plan to drive away wolf and swallow tigers," Lai Zhou of the horse court said immediately.

"Um?"

"Your Highness, you can force the Takazaoji family to rehabilitate the Luo family. At that time, these two families will definitely fight each other, and our family can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Hmph!" As soon as he heard Lai Zhou mentioning the Longzhao Temple family in the horse farm, Shaoyao Dongshang snorted coldly. As his strength continued to increase, the Longzhao Temple family did not take him seriously. He had already become very afraid of the Longzhao Temple family.

"But, the Takasaji family may not be willing to obey the orders," said Yokoyo Shimae on the side.

"Yes, the Takasaji family has not been as powerful as facing each other alone."

"What about the Luo family? You can't launch an attack on it rashly, right?"

"Haha, let someone use the righteousness of the king of the country to come to see His Highness. If the other party is willing to come, just find an excuse to put him under house arrest as a hostage. If he does not follow, Dayi will naturally stand on his own side."

"Okay, let's follow this plan." Shao Yan Dongshang decided finally...
