The shoes Zhao Zhiwei was wearing were almost worn out, making it even harder for them to make any sound.

After apologizing, Zhao Zhiwei asked curiously, "Why did the village head come into the storeroom?"

Lu Qiqi pointed to the inkstone on the desk and said, "I'll try writing on this bamboo paper."

"I see," Zhao Zhiwei said, inexplicably excited. "Please wait a moment, I'll go get the bamboo paper right away."

Zhao Zhiwei took out bamboo paper from the storeroom, handed it to Lu Qiqi, and then recorded it in the ledger.

While Zhao Zhiwei was in the storeroom, Lu Qiqi put a few drops of water in the inkstone and started grinding ink with the ink stick.

The clear water was slowly stained with black until it blended together and became indistinguishable from the other, at which point Lu Qiqi placed the ink stick down.

Holding a brush, he wrote six large characters on bamboo paper.

The paper mill in Tianxin Village.

After writing these six characters, Lu Qiqi put down her pen.

The smoothness of this writing is in no way inferior to that of Xuan paper.

She was very satisfied with the result.

The cost of making bamboo paper is much lower than that of Xuan paper, and the process is not as complicated.

Therefore, mass production is not a problem.

Paper consumption has always been high, and thinking about this, Lu Qiqi felt that what she was doing was hardly papermaking!

It's clearly a money printing shop!

"Tianxin Village Paper Mill?" Zhao Zhiwei read the words on the paper aloud with curiosity.

Lu Qiqi chuckled, "Yes, the paper mill in Tianxin Village!"

"From now on, I will make the paper mill in Tianxin Village famous, so that the whole of the Great Jin Dynasty will know that this village is rich in bamboo!"

Hearing Lu Qiqi's lofty ambitions, Zhao Zhiwei was deeply moved, and his once dormant heart suddenly began to pound, as if it were an epic event.

With this bamboo paper, poor scholars will no longer have to worry about not having enough paper to write their articles!

Then Zhao Zhiwei saw Lu Qiqi smile slyly and say, "And the most important step in this matter is to teach you, a scholar, how to do business!"
