When people were in Qin, they changed the world by reading entries.

Chapter 147: Paper Comes Out, the Center of Change

"This is the paper that Junior Brother Bai Yuan said, it is really different, this softness is like cloth, and its white is like snow, it is really magical!"

The elders of the Heavenly Sect rubbed the exquisite paper in their hands, as if they were looking at some treasure.

Akamatsuko also nodded.

A single leaf can be turned into ten to thirty sheets of paper of varying thicknesses, each measuring one square meter.

It doesn't seem like much, but when they look up at the leaves above their heads, how many leaves can a giant tree that is 100 meters tall have?

Anyway, they are too numerous to count.

At this moment, they all had a feeling that they had been hit by the treasure house.

"Qingfuzi, you guard here first, let's try this paper first." "

After a short moment of slight excitement, Akamatsuko quickly calmed down.

Although Bai Yuan described this paper as far more convenient and useful than bamboo and cloth, they had never used it, and Bai Yuan described it as much as they used it once.

Akamatsuko and the others each took a piece of paper and hurriedly left.

Qingfuzi sighed, and then turned his gaze to the papermaking tree, he found that there were many leaves shaky, and his eyes did not dare to look away for a moment.

On the other side, Akamatsuko and the others went back to get a pen and tested how good this white paper was.

When they write, they feel a sense of writing on cloth, but there is something different.

The ink leaves incredibly smooth marks on the paper.

Chisongzi wrote Zhuangzi's "Getaway", and the more he wrote, the more excited he became.

"Good stuff! Good stuff indeed!"

Looking at the white paper that was already full of words, Akamatsuko sighed a few times.

Compared with bamboo Jane, this thing is not much lighter, and in terms of cost, it is far less than cloth.

After all, this thing is like a pie falling from the sky to Taoists, almost zero cost, and the quantity is also guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Chisongzi immediately took this white paper and went to find Bai Yuan.

And Bai Yuan, who was telling a story to Jimo Huaxue, couldn't help but have some doubts when he heard Chisongzi coming.

But when he saw Akamatsuko, he immediately understood what he meant.

"Senior Brother, it seems that you have already seen what paper is. "

"That's right, this thing is so easy to use, such a thin piece of white paper, but can write so many words, this is a priceless treasure!"

Akamatsuko specially showed Bai Yuan's "Getaway" written by him.

Bai Yuan nodded slightly.

His main concern was the quality of the paper.

Looking at this texture, it is better than the kind of machine-made white paper he used in later generations.

If someone has explored papermaking, there is absolutely no way to make such exquisite paper for hundreds of thousands of years.

In a sense, they have formed a monopoly on paper.

Then Bai Yuan began to ask about the amount of paper.

Akamatsuko told the scene he saw.

If you want to use one word to describe it, it is enough!

"Senior Brother, since there are so many pieces of white paper, then I think we can completely let the disciples replace the bamboo simple and use the white paper directly in the future. "

Bai Yuan immediately suggested.

He knew very well that this white paper was different from the other jade leaves on the papermaking tree, and it would grow many white leaves every month, which meant that they had a steady stream of paper to use.

In the case of a sufficient number, they do not need to seize and search at all, maybe they have to worry about whether too much accumulation will fill the Taoist warehouse.

Akamatsuko smiled and stroked her beard.

"I also have this intention, since Junior Brother you also think so, then I can rest assured." "

This tree is Bai Yuan's thing after all, so Akamatsuko wants to do something with these white papers, at least to inform Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan was unimpressed by this.

Compared to these insignificant things, he paid more attention to whether the paper tree could only make this kind of white paper for writing.

So he and Ning Yan spoke, and then followed Chisongzi to the place where the paper tree was.

At this time, the elders of the Heavenly Sect were discussing the matter of the blank paper here.

Around them, piles of white paper piled up, and from time to time a few white leaves would fall and turn into white paper.

Bai Yuan immediately noticed that these white papers were not all of a type.

There are also thinner, softer papers, which are not suitable for writing, but suitable for other things.

For example, wipe your mouth.

Obviously, this papermaking tree not only has the ability to make paper, but also produces paper that covers all aspects of life.

However, Akamatsuko and others did not think about this, and regarded all paper as tools for writing.

Bai Yuan saw Elder Jing Wanzi holding a piece of paper that he had broken and was a little annoyed there.

So Bai Yuan quickly explained to them that not all paper is used for writing.

Hearing his explanation, the expressions on the faces of Chisongzi and others were a little strange, such a good thing, actually used to wipe the mouth or something, is it a bit of a violent thing?

However, when they found that this paper was indeed not very good for writing, they accepted the status quo.

The next day, Tenzong, led by Akamatsuko, began to replace bamboo tablets with white paper.

Those Heavenly Sect disciples were confused when they got the white paper, but soon they fell in love with this light and easy-to-use writing instrument.

What is bamboo Jane? They're not familiar.

The work of replacing the bamboo simple with paper was very smooth, and in just a few days, no one in Tianzong used the heavy bamboo simplex.

However, there are also a large number of bamboo tablets stored in the heart fast, and those bamboo tablets are recorded by Taoist secrets and some texts left by the sages, because this thing contains a special artistic conception, so even if it is recorded with bamboo simple, they must be well preserved.

In addition to these things, other ordinary texts they had people copy a new one on white paper, bind it with a thin thread, and put it in the heart.

And since having this paper, the living standards of the disciples of the Heavenly Sect have risen a notch and become more refined.

This change naturally could not escape the eyes of the disciples of the Human Sect.

Such a huge change also quickly spread out, causing speculation from all forces.

Among the various news, many forces learned the news of the blank paper.

But like Akamatsuko and others before, they were all puzzled, paper can be used to write, isn't that funny?

Therefore, many forces have doubts about the authenticity of this news.

Some forces with long hands got samples of the paper mentioned in the intelligence, and they were immediately shocked by it.

Some smart people are keenly aware that this thing is likely to change this era directly.

And Taoists, who have mastered paper, may become the center of this change!

So the major forces that confirmed the authenticity of the news all wanted to intervene, and this thing must not be enjoyed exclusively by Taoists!

For a while, Taoism was put on the cusp.

Akamatsuko had anticipated this situation, so he made arrangements early and found a strong partner.
