Zhao Feng has long had the idea of improving paper.

After all, although there is Cai Lun paper now, this kind of paper is not very easy to use.

It's just that Zhao Feng doesn't understand how to improve and what papermaking raw materials to use.

So I just told the paper mill about my general understanding of paper raw materials.

For example, in papermaking, the pulp made from which trees are added, or the pulp made from bamboo is added.

Then let them slowly experiment with their own proportions.

Because Zhao Feng only knows that the raw materials for papermaking are generally trees, but what tree is the most suitable, Zhao Feng does not know.

In addition, Zhao Feng has heard that bamboo paper is also a very good paper.

As for whether there are other better raw materials, Zhao Feng doesn't understand.

There may be, but it is a so-called trade secret and will not be revealed.

But it is also clear that this knowledge can be widely disseminated.

Although improving the paper, Zhao Feng invested a lot of money.

But Zhao Feng's purpose is not just to improve the paper.

After all, although there is paper now, in terms of application, it has not been developed much.

To put it simply, even if it costs a lot of money to improve the paper, it may not be able to obtain the corresponding benefits quickly.

However, Zhao Feng did not plan to rely on improving papermaking to obtain benefits.

Zhao Feng wanted to improve papermaking because he wanted to make paper suitable for printing.

At that time, Zhao Feng will be able to directly get out the movable type printing.

Compared with the modulation printing technology that appeared in the Tang Dynasty and the movable type printing technology that appeared in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Feng advanced this by almost a thousand years.

And engraving printing, over to movable type printing, there is no technical obstacle at all, it is just an idea.

This will play a great role in promoting the development of culture.

After looking at the paper, Zhao Feng smiled: "Very good!" ”

"All the workers in the paper mill are rewarded."

"In addition, literate carvers and carpenters were immediately assembled to set up a printing department."

Tian Feng was puzzled: "Set up a printing department?" ”

"Does the lord have any ideas?"

Zhao Feng thought for a while, how to explain it roughly.

Then I saw the official seal on the case, and my heart moved.

Then he directly picked up the official seal and gestured to Tian Feng: "If we let a literate carver carpenter carve out all the Chinese characters, like the official seal." ”

"When we need to use it, we can directly typeset and print it."

"Yuan Hao thought of something!"

Zhao Feng directly skipped engraving printing and upgraded to movable type printing, so many processes are also exempted.

And it seems to be more convenient to explain.

In order to make Tian Feng understand the concept of printing more intuitively.

Zhao Feng picked up three volumes of the "Warring States Policy" on the desk and said: "If, each volume represents a Chinese character seal. ”

"These three volumes represent the three seals of 'war', 'country' and 'policy', and after we arrange them, they are printed directly on the paper."

"It only takes a moment of effort, and the entire Warring States Policy will be directly printed."

"In addition, the Warring States Policy is divided into 12 strategies, 33 volumes, a total of 497 articles, and there are 497 volumes of bamboo slips."

"If it is all printed on paper, then the entire "Warring States Policy" may only be a few hundred pages."

"It's a great convenience for us to read and collect."

"For example, these more than 400 volumes of the Warring States Policy, when I need to read a certain volume, I still need to find it one volume at a time."

"But when we print it on paper, we just turn the page and we can turn to the approximate position."

Tian Feng pondered for a long time: "Feng probably knows what the situation is. ”

"If it is really as the lord said, then this thing should become an important weapon of the country!"

"I'm afraid that Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others will covet this technology."

"In addition, this thing also seriously threatens the status of the family and the powerful."

"The lord needs to be strictly protected!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he groaned.

What Tian Feng said, Zhao Feng understood.

But Zhao Feng believes that movable type printing does not seem to have too high technical content.

As long as the printing workers reveal a little, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others can quickly plagiarize the past.

Therefore, Zhao Feng intuitively set up a printing department.

Compared with movable type printing, Zhao Feng feels that it may be relatively difficult to plagiarize and manufacture improved paper technology.

However, considering the printing ink, it seems that it needs to be mixed slowly.

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Then according to Yuan Hao's meaning, this printing department will not be established separately for the time being." ”

"Attach him directly to the name of the paper mill, and this department is also established near the paper mill, so that the surrounding soldiers are strictly guarded."

Tian Feng waved at Zhao Feng: "No! ”

"Feng, let's arrange it."

With that, he turned around and exited the chamber.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

In these three months.

After Yuan Shu was defeated by Yuan Shao, the army led by Ji Ling, although it broke through Liu Biao's defensive line, finally chose to retreat.

In addition, the war between Huang Zu and Sun Ce also subsided.

In the entire Han Dynasty, except for Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were still at war, the rest of the princes entered a period of recuperation.

All grain taxes have also been collected in various localities.

Because of the addition of the three counties of Youzhou and the three counties of Qingzhou, Zhao Feng's total tax was more than 2.6 million stones.

The tax is not much, mainly because the population of Youzhou is small, and Jinan County and Qi County in Qingzhou are not very large.

Of the 40,000 newly recruited soldiers, Zhao Feng handed them over to Wang Ling for training.

The lieutenants of the King of Hejian, the King of Qinghe, and the King of Anping, after assisting Wang Ling in training for a month, led 4,000 soldiers respectively and returned to the capitals of each prince.

Among them, 1,000 people, Zhao Feng temporarily detained them in the name of bringing new soldiers.

Of course, Zhao Feng will not put back these thousand soldiers.

At the beginning, Zhao Feng was only going to put back 3,000 people.

It's just that this time there are 10,000 more recruits, so there is no need to care about the extra 3,000 people.

Of course, the main thing is that Zhao Feng surrendered the three thousand Black Mountain troops in the plain, and let these royal garrisons scatter and absorb, mixing a large amount of sand.

Then those young soldiers were drawn out.

Those who stayed behind were either relatively old in the Montenegrin Army, or they were already relatively old.

Now these slightly younger soldiers, mixed with the previous five thousand new integration troops, have a scale of 8,000 people, stationed in the Yuan clan.

At the beginning in Bohai County, some of the captured Montenegrin soldiers were also sent to various places to guard and replace those soldiers who had been discharged.

These retired soldiers were all arranged by Zhao Feng to go to various counties in Qingzhou.

A small part of them were arranged to enter the county seat to become county soldiers, and some of them were to serve as Tuntian soldiers in Qingzhou.

On the side of the Tuntian soldiers, Zhao Feng had already had relevant plans, and he had implemented them before.

So there is no difficulty.
