Xi Yu doesn’t know how long the political situation in the Sili area can last.

The return of the Emperor of Han Dynasty to the east is an inevitable result.

After the locust plague, there was almost no harvest in the entire Guanzhong area.

Disaster victims are everywhere in Chang'an, and desolate bones are exposed in the wild. Under such a scene, Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, is naturally no longer suitable for living.

What's more, Liu Xie still has a sense of belonging to Luoyang after all.

The officials of the Han Dynasty naturally thought a lot about their old capital, Luoyang.

After talking with Cao Cao that day.

The whole late autumn passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye the north wind began to rise.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has entered.

In a few months, the tone of Yanzhou has been set like Xiyu.

Xi Zhicai was responsible for the construction of Chidao without any delay.

The entire Chidao in Yanzhou is rising from the ground amid crazy construction.

With the newly built Chidao, the entire Yanzhou looks more attractive to the people than before.

"Success!"

"Success!"

In the actor's house, when Xi Yuzheng and Xi Zhicai were sitting opposite each other in front of the desk and warming themselves by the fire, Dian Wei hurried in from outside and excitedly walked in.

This guy's tone was extremely exciting, and Xi Yu understood more or less just by hearing his voice.

Xi Zhicai next to him was a little confused, and subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu.

"Ayu, what is Dianwei shouting?"

"It's time for papermaking to succeed!"

During this period, Xi Yu has been asking Dian Wei to help keep an eye on how to improve papermaking.

He informed Ma San and other craftsmen of the entire papermaking process.

Now Dian Wei has come back to report the news. As expected, papermaking has been successful!

With the foundation of papermaking, the success of the improved papermaking was not beyond Xi Yu's expectations.

However, this period also took several months of effort.

"Papermaking?"

Xi Zhicai naturally knows the art of papermaking. Someone has made this thing a long time ago.

However, the papermaking technique that my brother talked about must be different from the previous ones.

There were some doubts in my mind, but Dianwei had already entered the back hall.

"Sir, Ma San and the others have already made the paper according to your idea!"

For things like paper, Dian Wei doesn't know how important its role is.

But paper is expensive in Luoyang, and paper is something only the upper class can use.

Now, he is watching the people of Ma San build it out of some cotton and linen waste, which naturally makes Dian Wei a little happy.

"Brother, let's go and see together?"

Xi Yu glanced at Xi Zhicai, and then invited him to come with him to look at the paper made by Ma San and others.

Hearing what Xi Yu said, Xi Zhi nodded decisively.

Paper!

This is good stuff.

The three of them left the mansion and soon arrived at the papermaking workshop in Juancheng.

After arriving, Xi Yu discovered that not only did he know the news, but Cao Cao, Xun Yu and many others also followed him.

This is papermaking!

Cao Cao was naturally very concerned about it. Ever since he knew that Xi Yu had asked Ma San and others to tinker with papermaking, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful.

Xun Yu and others beside them are naturally very concerned about paper.

If, as Xi Yu said, paper can be mass-produced.

Then he won't have to face those bamboo slips all day long.

Even with a large amount of paper, Yanzhou can even do business with other states in the Han Dynasty.

Those wealthy families also love paper very much.

If this item can be exchanged for gold, silver, or even food, it will be of great benefit to the entire Yanzhou.

A crowd gathered outside the workshop in Juancheng.

At this moment, the people headed by Ma San quickly followed.

"I've seen my lord, I've seen Mr. Fengyi, I've seen Mr. Wenruo, I've seen..."

The people in front of him were all important figures to craftsmen like Ma San. After saluting everyone, Cao Cao quickly followed suit.

"Ma San, I heard you made paper!"

Cao Cao was a little excited, and even couldn't wait to see the paper.

Xi Yu also patted Ma San on the shoulder.

“Well done!”

"It's all the credit of Mr. Fengyi, we dare not take the credit!"

Ma San responded quickly.

What kind of papermaking skills do ordinary craftsmen like them know!

If Mr. Xi Yuxi hadn't told them the process of making paper, they would never have imagined how paper could be made.

Ma San still has a very clear understanding of himself and others.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the paper, he did not dare to delay at all.

It was windy outside, and Ma San led Cao Cao and others into the workshop.

Soon a craftsman came over holding a stack of white paper.

"Paper, really paper!"

With just one glance, Cao Cao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

He has seen paper before, and the thing in front of him is as thin as cicada wings and as thin as silk.

It looks like just paper.

However, the paper in front of him was whiter than the ones he kept at home, so much so that people couldn't take their eyes away from it just by looking at it.

Cao Cao was a little happy.

Xun Yu next to him was already holding the paper in his hand, and he couldn't put it down. The counselors behind him all had the same expression.

Xi Yu reached out and touched the paper in front of him.

It feels good. Although it is still far from the blank paper of later generations, it is already considered good that Ma San and others can follow the procedures to this step.

You know, although he knows what the paper is made of.

But the specific process is not very clear.

Ma San and others can create a blank sheet of paper, and their contribution cannot be ignored.

"Brother, these craftsmen should be rewarded!"

Xi Yu said something to Cao Cao, and when the latter heard this, he didn't hesitate at all.

Cao Cao looked at Ma San and others: "You all have made great contributions. I will keep it in mind and reward you later!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, the expressions of all the craftsmen became obviously excited.

You know, in this era, the status of craftsmen is actually not much different from that of ordinary people.

Whatever the states and counties ask these craftsmen to do is actually equivalent to working for nothing, and the pay is hardly very high.

However, these craftsmen are also talents that cannot be ignored.

The local government also has a protective effect on these people.

In troubled times, most of these craftsmen rarely face danger to their lives.

There are pros and cons!

"I wonder how much this thing costs?"

Xun Yu looked at the paper in his hand, and after a long time he asked the most critical question.
