Xun Yu's mansion was all the attendants arranged by the state pastor's mansion, and when they came to the gate of the mansion, the guards at the door saw that Liu Chan was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Liu Chan asked, "Is Ling Jun in the mansion, did you leave the mansion yesterday?" ”

The guard replied, "Ling Jun hasn't gotten up yet, and yesterday afternoon, he let us accompany him for a walk around Jiangling, and it seems that he is in a good mood." ”

"That's good!" Liu Chan nodded: "You go in to report, just say that I have something to ask to see Ling Jun!" ”

The guard was puzzled: "Isn't it okay for Childe to go in directly, why do you need to report it?" ”

Liu Chan explained: "He is not his father's courtier, he just settled in Jingzhou, what is it to enter without passing the word? You usually treat him as a surveillance, not as a surveillance, but as if he were a master, with respect. If Lingjun asks me about the purpose of my visit, he will say that Zhuge has not come back from Xiangyang, and I want to ask him for advice! ”

"No!" The guards took the order and entered the mansion.

In the past, when Xun Yu was under Cao Cao, he dealt with government affairs every day and worked very hard, which can be described as one meal and three spit out. Now in Jingzhou, it is rare to be idle, although Xun Yu has woken up at this moment, he has not yet gotten up, lying on the couch, holding a roll of bamboo slips and reading carefully.

Xun Yu's illness is a heart disease, to put it bluntly, he can't get along with himself, as long as Xun Yu is willing to live and not torture himself, it is difficult to die.

As early as the three days in Xiangyang, Zhang Zhongjing prescribed a prescription for Xun Yu to regulate his body, and now although Xun Yu's body has not fully recovered, his complexion has become a lot ruddy, and he can get out of bed and walk around.

The guard came to the door and said through the door: "Is the gentleman up, the son has something to ask to see!" ”

"What's the matter with him?" Xun Yu frowned.

The guard explained: "Zhuge Junshi is Gongzi's teacher, because the military teacher is still in Xiangyang, so Gongzi has no one to teach knowledge during this time, Gongzi is here to ask Mr. Xiang some questions." ”

"Hmph......" Xun Yu put down the bamboo slip and couldn't help but chuckle: "It's really clever, ask me to learn?" Won't I become his teacher after a long time? ”

Xun Yu is such a character, he easily saw through Liu Chan's intentions, and of course he refused directly: "I haven't gotten up yet, you let him leave!" ”

When the guards heard this, they hurriedly went out of the house to inform Liu Chan.

Lin Xiao sighed when he heard this, and said, "He made it clear that he didn't want to see the young master, it seems that the young master's plan is about to fail!" ”

"I thought it wouldn't be that simple! Wait! Liu Chan shook his head, took the food box from Lin Xiao's hand and handed it to the guard: "This is the breakfast I brought, Ling Jun shouldn't have used breakfast yet, you send it to Ling Jun, just say that I will wait until noon to eat!" ”

The guard came to Xun Yu's door with a food box and said, "Ling Jun, Gongzi brought some food for Ling Jun." ”

"Bring it in!" Xun Yu did not refuse the food, now that he is in Jingzhou, he is a person who eats and lives in other people, and refusing this bit of food is contrived.

Only then did the guard push open the door, put the food box in front of the collapse, and said, "Ling Jun, Gongzi said that he would wait outside the mansion until noon for dinner, I don't know when Ling Jun plans to see him." ”

Xun Yu waved his hand and said, "I'll see you when I want to see you, you go out!" ”

The guard saw that Xun Yu was holding a bamboo in his hand, he was not sleeping at all, and it was clear that he didn't want to see Liu Chan, so he forced his anger out of the room, and came to the door to tell Liu Chan: "Childe, that guy didn't sleep at all, but was studying, he made it clear that he didn't want to see Childe, you better go back, why suffer this crime!" ”

"I'll be back at noon!" Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "You go and go busy with your own business!" ”

"No!"

However, until noon, Xun Yu still did not agree to see Liu Chan, until finally Liu Chan was hungry in his belly, so he left.

Three days have passed, and during these three days, Liu Chan still went to visit Xun Yu every day, but Xun Yu did not give Liu Chan the slightest chance at all, and in the three days, Liu Chan did not even see Xun Yu's face.

At noon on the fourth day, Lin Xiao and Zhao Yun accompanied Liu Chan on the way back to the house, Zhao Yun said: "The lord has visited the thatched house three times, and he still asked the military division to go out of the mountain, and now the young master went to study with him for four consecutive days, but he directly closed the door, it seems that he is determined not to serve the young master, and the young master will not go in the future." ”

"Well......" hit a wall several times, Liu Chan also understood that his thoughts were a little too simple, his mind couldn't hide from Xun Yu at all, since Xun Yu knew his thoughts, I think that no matter how long he insisted, how to show sincerity, Xun Yu would not see him.

I have to find a way to meet Xun Yu.

"Take me to the paper mill!" After Liu Chan stopped on the road for a long time, he finally thought of a way to meet Xun Yu.

"Paper mill?"

Although they didn't understand Liu Chan's purpose, the two still took Liu Chan to the paper mill in the city.

Papermaking technology has existed since ancient times, China is the first country in the world to raise silkworms and weave silk, people draw silk and weave silk from silkworm cocoons, and the remaining evil cocoons, disease cocoons, etc. are used to make silk cotton by bleaching method. After the bleaching is completed, there will be some residues left on the mat. When the number of bleaching is too much, the residue on the mat will accumulate into a layer of fiber flakes, which can be peeled off after drying and can be used for writing, which is the origin of papermaking.

Later, Cai Lun improved the papermaking technique, using tree bark, fishing nets and other raw materials to process through many steps to obtain paper.

Today, papermaking technology is quite pure.

It's a pity that if today's chaos occurs, although the process of papermaking is basically mature, the output is low and the cost is high, which leads to people engaged in this profession not making ends meet and making it difficult to make a living, so there are some less.

The real popularization of paper was a hundred years later, to the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a white jade as jade rice paper.

However, Jiangling is the seat of Jingzhou, and although there are few paper mills, they also exist.

The two took Liu Chan to the paper mill.

Because papermaking is inseparable from water, the paper mill is not in Gangneung City, but by the river outside Gangneung City.

I saw that by the river, there were many low wooden stakes nailed, and ropes were tied to the stakes, and the bark was tied to the ropes, which were soaked in water, and the trees needed to be soaked in water for a long time, and some even needed a year and a half.

I don't know how long I soaked these, and there was a faint smell of wood on the riverbank.

On the riverbank, there is also a clear division of labor, and a total of four groups of people are busy.

The first group is to collect raw materials, workers carry firewood knives, go to the mountains to collect tree bark, come back, put it in water to soak.

The second group of people was responsible for steaming, and a straw hut without walls was built on the shore, and several large cauldrons were set up in the shed, and the soaked bark was put into the pot to steam, and the workers kept adding firewood to the bottom of the pot, and the steam filled the straw shed.

The third group is responsible for hammering mortars, putting the boiled bark into stone mortars and hammering them.

The last group of people is responsible for swinging the material into the curtain, putting the hammered fibers into the water, taking the paper with the bamboo curtain, and drying the paper.
