"Needless to say, Yiwen and Zishi are honest and sincere, and it is estimated that they will have to guard this Nanxiang County in the past two years."

Feng Yong looked at Li Qiu and Huang Chong, "This can be regarded as the foundation of our brothers, so we have to be optimistic." ”

Li Qiu and Huang Chong glanced at each other and said in unison, "Obey my brother's orders." ”

"Faith and sincerity don't have to be hot, Yiwen and Zishi, I once said that this Nanxiang County, even if you lie down, you can get credit. Seeing that this Nanxiang is now the second largest county in Hanzhong, as far as I know, the performance of the two of you will definitely be the first this year. ”

The most important appraisal system in the Han Dynasty was the Shangji system, also known as performance appraisal.

The chief executive of the district shall submit a document to the higher authorities on a regular basis to report on the state of local governance. At the end of the year, the county magistrate compiled the county's household registration, cultivated fields, money valleys, and prison conditions into a book, and reported them to the imperial court through various channels.

The imperial court used this to evaluate the performance of the local administrators.

"Next year, Nanxiang will only get bigger and bigger, and even Nanzheng will have to succumb to the upper hand at that time. So what you have to worry about is how to manage this Nanxiang well. ”

Li Qiu nodded and said, "What my brother said is extremely true. I remember when I first came to Nanxiang, there were few people, and there was nothing to do for a month. But now, the county government is becoming more and more complicated, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that by next year, Nanxiang will become an upper county with a population of tens of thousands. ”

The pastures are gradually moving from Nanzheng to Nanxiang, coupled with the development of woolen cloth for grain, the number of merchants from Jincheng has also begun to increase.

Nanxiang has begun to appear in simple restaurants, as well as a place for people to settle down, that is, inns.

The workshop plus the ranch, as well as the Zhang family and the Li family who came to Nanxiang to reclaim the wasteland, plus some people arranged by the Hanzhong government, now the population of Nanxiang has exceeded 10,000, plus the people who come and go, it is not difficult to double it next year.

"That's what you two have to worry about. If you do it well, it will definitely be another great achievement next year, so stay in Nanxiang with peace of mind. ”

In less than the year of the weak crown, he was in charge of a county, and in the future, it may be the most important county in Hanzhong, and even in the Han Dynasty, it is also famous, who dares to say that Li Qiu and Huang Chong are not promising young talents?

"The rest are Wenxuan Wei Ran and the three of me," Feng Yong smiled, "The prime minister moved me to the post of captain of the Yizhou Diannong School, in my opinion, it may not mean that after the level of Nanzhong, let me go and see the farming of Nanzhong." ”

I took the drawings of the spinning wheel loom early, and asked if it could be improved into woven linen, in the eyes of others, maybe the prime minister of the Han Dynasty just wanted to use it around Jincheng.

But Feng Yong knew that Zhuge Old Demon used soldiers in Nanzhong, which was mighty; After the level, he will also teach the Nanzhong Yi people to cultivate textiles, which is En.

Therefore, Feng Yong's improved loom spinning wheel, Zhuge Lao Demon may not be used in Nanzhong.

The lieutenant of the Diannong School in Qianyi Prefecture not only rewarded Feng Yong's merits, but also had an excuse to let Feng Yong go to Nanzhong, catching a toad and soaking in urine, nothing more.

There is no need to say the rest of the words, Li Yi naturally understands.

Follow your brother, and there will always be credit.

"So I don't have much time to stay in Nanxiang for the three of them!"

Feng Yong sighed, "Sanniang has already sent a letter, saying that Zhang Junhou's family is willing to plant all the land they have opened up into mulberry hemp, which is the last major event in Nanxiang this year." Everyone worked together to get this done. ”

Everyone didn't understand what was going on, but Li Yi's eyes lit up, "What does my brother mean, is that the paper has already been made?" ”

Feng Yongyong planned to use mulberry hemp to make paper, and Li Yi and the others naturally knew about it. It's just that paper was still a precious thing at this time, and they only knew that Cai Hou paper was made from tree bark and other things, so how to make it, but they didn't know anything.

Therefore, they have no bottom in their hearts about the papermaking method proposed by Feng Yong.

"I made it a few days ago. But Jiang Angel never left, so I can't take it out. ”

Jiang Wan also asked what the grass huts by the river were for, and after learning that they were papermaking, he just praised Feng Yong's good intentions for education, but he didn't know that new papermaking techniques were being tested there.

Because in his mind, since Feng Yong opened such a school, it would definitely cost a lot of paper and ink at that time, so it was natural to open a small papermaking workshop.

After all, after Cai Hou improved the papermaking process, the imperial court also vigorously promoted this method to the world, so it is not surprising that Feng Yong can find a craftsman who can make paper.

Saying that, Feng Yong smiled again, "But after listening to the words from Master Feng, the paper produced is unexpectedly good." I sent off Angel Jiang today, and I just went over to see what the paper looked like. ”

"That's great."

Feng Yong talked about the Southern Expedition, and both inside and outside his words indicated that after Zhao Guang and Wang Xun left, the rest of them would be separated in a few months, and the atmosphere couldn't help but be a little dull.

Now when I heard the news, I washed away the heavy atmosphere of these two points.

"Let's go."

Feng Yongyi reined in the horse's head and shouted "drive", only to see the handsome horse neigh, raise his front hooves, and sprint forward.

"Master Feng, how's it going?"

Feng Yong took the lead in riding a horse to the paper workshop, and as soon as he got off the horse, he asked.

The people in the paper workshop saw a group of people riding horses from a distance, and reported to Craftsman Feng early, and he hurried out to greet him, who had been busy inside.

Hearing Feng Yong's question, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "I've seen Feng Langjun." ”

"You don't have to be so polite, tell me, how about the paper?"

"Back to Feng Langjun, I have dried some paper and come out, just waiting for Feng Langjun to come and see."

Saying that, Feng Craftsman couldn't hide the joy on his face, "According to Feng Langjun's method, using that mulberry skin and hemp silk, the paper obtained is really much tougher than before, and it looks durable." ”

"It's good to be durable, it's good to be durable!"

Feng Yong smiled again and again, "Take it out and let me take a look." ”

The new papermaking method Feng Yong still wanted to exchange something with Zhuge Old Demon, so when Jiang Wan was there, he had never seen the newly made paper, so he was afraid that Jiang Wan would see it and get to the bottom of it.

"Yes."

Craftsman Feng turned around and entered the workshop, and soon came out again, holding a stack of papers in his hand.

"I'll see."

Feng Yong took a sheet, only to see that the surface of the paper was slightly yellow, and some plant fibers could be seen on it, pinched and touched it with two fingers, it was a little thick, and then shook it, sure enough, as Feng Jianggong said, the toughness of the paper was much better than before.

Thick, soft and tough, and even because of the process, the plant fibers on it make the paper a little uneven, and the toilet paper specially used for the toilet in later generations has the same effect, it is really the treasure of the toilet!

Feng Tu Turtle was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and he would never have to hit a stone with an egg in the future!

There seemed to be a commotion in his ears, and someone was calling out to him.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Feng Yong came to his senses, suppressed his excitement, and raised his head, only to see Li Yi standing beside him, his hand holding the paper was obviously trembling.

"Brother, this paper ...... What a rare thing! My brother has never seen such a good paper! ”

Li Qiu and Huang Chong also looked at themselves with fiery eyes.

Yang Wan's expression was very different from the three of them, I saw a sacred look on his face, holding a paper in his hand, as if holding a peerless treasure, muttering to himself, and he didn't know what he was saying.

This is a person who truly admires knowledge, Feng Yong sighed in his heart.

It's just that his last action made Feng Tujiao almost stare out of his eyes.

I saw him suddenly tear off a corner of the paper, put it in his mouth and chew it......

No way!

"That can't be eaten!"

Feng Yong hurriedly spoke.

"Huh?"

Yang Wan looked at Feng Yong blankly, and there was still the remains of paper at the corner of his mouth, "There is a smell ......"

Of course, it smells, you can smell it without eating, it is the smell of mulberry trees, but it is also good this way, it can prevent insects.

It may be that Feng Yong's shouting woke him up, only to see him scratching his head a little innocently, "Brother can't help it, the younger brother has admired Hanli for a long time, and knows that this paper is a precious thing, and it is difficult to ......help himself for a while."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Just look at this paper, and don't put it in your mouth at the end. Wei Ran wants to learn Han etiquette in the future, and there are many opportunities. This papermaking is afraid that it is difficult to switch and switch, as long as it is made, it will be much easier in the future. ”

Yang Wan has always admired Han culture, and Feng Yong also knows it. Otherwise, after arriving in Hanzhong, he would not have learned from the Han people to help him take the word "Wei Ran".

Feng Gonggong watched Yang Qian tear the paper and put it in his mouth, his face showed a distressed look, and his eyes were angry, how much effort he had to make it, and it was ruined like this.

I saw that he wanted to open his mouth several times to say a few words, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Li Yi didn't care about this little thing, only to see him turn around and shout at the subordinates who came over, "Spread out, protect here, don't let people get close to half a step!" ”

"No!"

The tribes thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly dispersed nervously, surrounding the place as if they were facing a great enemy.

Feeling a bit of a big fuss, Feng Yong said, "Wen Xuan doesn't need to be like this, right?" It's just paper. ”

"It's because of the paper! Paper, brother! ”

Li Yi shook the paper in his hand, lowered his voice, blushed and had a thick neck, and almost roared, "It's that Zuobo paper, I'm afraid it can't compare to this paper." ”

"Not really, right?" Feng Yong was puzzled, "I once heard Guan Ji say that Zuo Bo paper has uniform thickness and fine texture, which is the best in the world. ”

"I look at this paper, it's not smooth, how can it compare to that Zuobo paper?"

Feng Yong said, and also learned from Li Yi to shake the paper, the voice was not crisp, but a little dull, indicating that the paper was indeed thick.

"What about the uniform thickness of the paper? The younger brother is fortunate to have seen the world's first Zuobo paper, which is indeed fine in texture, and the paper surface is smoother than this paper. ”

"But it is too scarce, that is, its process is said to be more difficult and complicated, the selection of materials is extremely picky, and it can not be made two or three times a year, that is, it was only for Luoyang that year, so it seems that Zuo Bo paper is precious."

"But the paper made by my brother is very different, although it is a little rougher, but it is thick and flexible, not easy to damage, and mulberry hemp can be taken everywhere, it can be made in less than two months, these are much stronger than the Zuobo paper."

Li Yi said, stroking the paper in his hand lovingly, and even pulling hard, "Look, what a good paper?" It can't be torn off, just by virtue of this, then Zuo Bo paper can't be compared! ”

"Brother, it's gone, let's send it!"

Li Yi saw that Feng Yong still looked indifferent, he only felt that his breath was blocked in his chest, and he said with some anger, "This is a great achievement, a great achievement!" ”

Well? Well!

Feng Tu Turtle didn't care about other things, but as soon as he heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, "This paper...... How did it come to fruition? I'm still thinking about selling it for money. ”

Originally, I wanted to exchange it with Zhuge Old Demon, but Guan Ji was more capable, and she had already obtained the mulberry branch from Huang Yueying, and had even started cuttings in Fengzhuang, so this papermaking technique could be used by herself.

How precious paper is, and if you sell it for money, it is also a lot of income.

"How much can this paper sell for?"

As soon as Li Yigang finished saying this, he snorted again, feeling that he had been led crooked by the brother in front of him.

"Of course, this paper can be sold for a lot of money, but brother, it is first and foremost a great credit. As long as the court gets this paper, aren't you afraid that the world's scholars will return to their hearts? ”

Li Yi swallowed his saliva and continued, "Now that the Great Han is in danger, if you get the treasure of this scholar, doesn't it mean that the Great Han is still destined to return?" ”

"Let me think, let me think."

Feng Yong felt that he couldn't keep up with Li Yi's thinking.

Improvements in papermaking were, of course, have an impact on the dissemination of knowledge.

But in Feng Yong's view, this is long-term, silent, and not obvious all at once.

It's just that why does Li Yi think that if he takes out this paper, he can buy people's hearts in a big way?

Could it be that I underestimated the influence of paper on readers in this era?

"What Wen Xuan mean, let's give this paper up?"

Feng Yong asked tentatively.

"Offer it," Li Yi nodded affirmatively, "It must not be kept, and it is impossible for the imperial court to let this method remain in our hands, it is better to take the initiative to offer it, and then the imperial court will have nothing to do with us whether it is made or not, but we can make paper with peace of mind." ”

"Then dedicate it."

Feng Yong nodded, he didn't skimp on this little thing, but he always felt that something was wrong subconsciously.

Listening to Li Yi's words and expression, this thing is obviously something similar to a nuclear bomb, and it was put in the hands of Zhuge Old Demon, afraid that it would blow up Shuzhong to the bottom?

When the time comes...... Clever words make Feng Langjun ruthless, and he is ruthless, but he is afraid that he will be stabbed by the Shuzhong family again.

"Brother is really decisive!"

Li Yi said with great admiration.

If this kind of craft is only in your own hands, you don't know how much food you can bring to yourself? It is not an exaggeration to say that gold and silver are inadequate.

If it is a handicraft, it will not be easy to eat and wear for generations.

But the elder brother only listened to his own words, and he believed his words like this, which made him both moved and admired.

But he didn't know that Feng Tu Turtle took this paper in his hand, and his first thought was not something precious, not an heirloom treasure, but to use it to wipe his ass!

If this idea is known to Li Yi and others, I am afraid that most of the people present will vomit blood and die.
