PS: I made a mistake before, the total number of households in the protagonist Sanyi is close to more than 8,000, and the total population is about 60,000

……

Maybe he was a little excited when he saw the paper for the first time, Zhao Wuxian was careless today, and he became a clown, and in the interval of this thought, he frowned slightly, which frightened everyone around him.

The lord never seemed to be angry or angry, but his subordinates regarded him as a milk tiger and did not dare to touch his whiskers. In the past two years, through various things, Junwei has unconsciously accumulated as high as Mount Tai.

But Wuxian quickly came to his senses, and he regained his usual grace and smiled: "The first time I make a finished product, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, but I am anxious." Blame me for this, I can't blame the public for losing, please get up quickly! ”

Gong Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to the chief again.

But Gong Xichi took the opportunity to say: "Si Kou, I heard Zigong say that a gentleman's mistake is like an eclipse of the sun and the moon, if a mistake is made, people can see it, and if the mistake is corrected, everyone will still look up to it." This hemp paper doesn't seem to be suitable for writing, so it's better to use bamboo slips......"

Zhao Wuxian was a little unhappy now: "The hemp paper is made for the first time, it is inevitable that there will be flaws, and it can be improved next time, why suddenly give up?" ”

Gong Xichi still needs to be persuaded, but at this moment, the little Gong Yi class suddenly came over, pulled the corner of Gong Yike's clothes, saluted Zhao Wuxian, and said innocently: "Si Kou, the kid also made some paper, can you try it?" ”

Wuxian was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then his eyes lit up: "The paper you made?" ”

It turned out that because of Zhao Wuxian's good tolerance, the public loss class held classes in Jiqiao's mathematics classroom during the day, and he could enter and exit the craftsman workshop at will during the break. Paper mills are no exception. A few days ago, he was learning from the craftsmen. I also made a pool of pulp like a joke, and continued to do it step by step with the help of the craftsman. Today, the finished product was actually produced.

However, the public loses the gram only when this is the son is playing at home, they lose a family, and when they are young, they play with the wood and stone ruler line, and when they are at home, they don't know how much they have done with bows and arrows, small crossbows, and small chariots, so they are not at ease.

At this moment, he himself was forgiven by Si Kou, but who expected that his son would take the initiative to get involved, and hurriedly pushed the public loss class away, explaining: "Si Kou." It's just a dog's nonsense, and it can't be ......."

Zhao Wuxian was interested, and asked the public loss class to take a look at the hemp paper he made, and Ji Qiao also agreed, although the public loss class looked wooden, but when teaching him mathematics, he could see it and know ten!

When the little male lost class to offer a treasure and sent a half-foot-wide and one-foot-long miniature version of hemp paper, including Gongxi Chi, everyone was surprised.

Look. In addition to being smaller in size, it is actually comparable to the previous hemp paper, and the paper is even tighter.

Looking at Xiao Gong's serious expression, Zhao Wuxian tilted his head and asked, "How long did it take him to make it?" ”

It is difficult to ride a tiger now. I could only bite the bullet and say: "Yu Sikou, this son has been watching the paper mill for half a month, giving hands to the craftsmen. By the time the villain found out, he had already steamed the broken linen into the kettle. It's too late to stop. The villain can only let him mess around, and this process is no different. If the result is not good, please forgive him for his recklessness. ”

"If it is feasible, it is meritorious, if it is not possible, it is just a trial failure, after all, this papermaking method is to cross the river by feeling the stones, it is inevitable to take some detours, what is the crime?"

However, in the eyes of everyone, this is a child's plaything after all, which can only prove that the public losing class has a talent for skills, but Zhao Wuxian, who knows who the public losing class is, has some expectations.

So on the table in front of Gong Xichi, there were two kinds of writing materials on the left and right, he was a little helpless, but he could only pick up the pen, it seemed that he had to completely prove the failure of this thing called "paper", so that Si Kou could change his mind.

This time, he had a bottom on the hemp paper in his heart, so he first put pen to paper on the bamboo slips, so as to make a comparison afterwards.

The pen in his hand is still a good rabbit pen, unlike the "Meng Tian invention brush" that people usually think, this thing actually has been in ancient times, to the Yin and Zhou dynasties to mature, with the popularity of bamboo slips, silk silk and improvement. Confucian scholars generally carried a complete set of writing instruments, including brushes, copper chips, bamboo pieces, and small bamboo tubes. Copper cutting is used to scrape bamboo chips, and small bamboo tubes should be used to store ink, pigments and other things.

The most important thing is naturally the brush, the rabbit hair is wrapped around the periphery of the pen barrel, wrapped tightly with hemp silk, and then painted and glued firmly. The pen is made of bamboo, wrapped in hemp silk, painted with lacquer juice, the pen is pointed and straight, it is a good tool for copying bamboo and wood slips, and it is also a favorite of Gongxi Chi.

"Zilu uses the sword as a tool, Zihui uses the Se as a tool, Zigong uses the tongue as a tool, and I use the pen as a tool!" He once said.

As for the ink, there are graphite from natural ore and black ink from charcoal. The best nature is pine smoke ink, which is made of ash burned from pine wood, and then mixed with lacquer and glue, and its quality is far better than graphite. However, the ink of this period was not made into ingots, but only into small round pieces, which could not be ground directly by hand, but had to be ground by pressing with a grinding stone.

Fang Cai's graphite added too much water, and this time the little gong lost class personally grinded pine smoke ink for Gongxi Chi, which was a little richer.

With the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes were divided and went their own way, and the text inherited from the Zhou seal gradually reflected the local color.

The character of Gongxi Chi is Lu Seal, and he is also recognized as the best among Zhao Wuxian's officials, and he is usually found when promulgating official documents. His glyphs are beautiful and bright, his style of writing is cautious, and his writing is calm and calm, but in Zhao Wuxian's view, the narrow bamboo pieces limit his play.

However, after Gongxi Chi finished writing and reading it, he felt good about himself.

This is a sprinkling "poem. When he was in Zhongdu, the simple workshop with the turbulent streams outside the city was his favorite place to go.

He clapped his hands and praised: "Zihua is a good character, worthy of being a disciple of Confucius, try it on that hemp paper again." ”

Gongxi Chi made a promise, thinking that he had just written "Qi Ao", what should he write this time? But he didn't want to think about it soon, this paper that was twice the size was made by the public losing class half-playing and half-making, and the result must be the same as Fang Cai, or even worse. Write a random word yourself and you're done.

I saw that his sharp pen slowly dragged into the ink, and dipped the ink slightly again until it was half full. The pen turned to the jute paper, and everyone around them suddenly held their breath......

Gong Xi stood shoulder to shoulder. The pen into the paper is like a knife into the bone, and the wrist slightly moves the paper with more swarthy verticals!

Including Gong Xichi, everyone was stunned, but Zhao Wuxian smiled.

There is no ink dot dissolving and condensing into a ball, but a very delicate horizontal!

Gongxi Chi didn't believe it, and pulled down another one.

This thick ink hammer is like the eyebrows raised by a man with thick eyebrows!

It's still a normal stroke, as long as the ink doesn't stay on purpose. It won't melt on the yellow paper!

Gong Xichi stopped, because he didn't want to write anything on the paper, and after a few moments, his wrist moved again. At first it was difficult and slow, but slowly, his gestures faltered but then mellowed.

When a whole article of "Daya. King Wen jumped on the paper Gongxi sweated on his forehead and his wrist trembled a little since he started writing. I've never had such an experience before.

It's much faster and easier to write than on bamboo slips!

A group of people stood over to watch, and the jute paper was already covered with Lu seal fonts, the first few words. What an ugly word......

But after that, the strokes gradually got used to this new material, and some changes were made, and they were written later. In terms of roundness and beauty, it is comparable to the bamboo slips.

After Gongxi Chi was stunned for a while, he respectfully apologized to Zhao Wuxian: "It's red." This hemp paper is indeed almost the same as the average quality of silk silk. But ......"

He wanted to speak and stopped, but Wu Xian knew what he wanted to say, because the most primitive jute paper was only slightly advantageous compared to bamboo slips, so Gong Xichi probably felt that this thing was not enough to completely replace the slips!

But the fact that hemp paper can be used for writing has been proven, and everyone is overjoyed, and Wuxian beckoned the little male to come over.

"Little boy, what is the difference between the way you make this paper and what your father did?"

The public loss class is still that ignorant, and he doesn't know that he has made a great contribution.

"My father didn't let the boy add lime when he was cooking, so I used the ashes from the stove pit......"

"I see!" Gong Yike patted his head when he heard this, and suddenly realized.

There are not many lime mines in Sanyi, and the supply is a little tight, how can he let his son play around and waste it? Therefore, the public loss class used plant ash to make pulp, but it was the right bet by mistake!

Many scientific inventions from ancient times to the present are the product of the combination of necessity and chance, the accumulation of science and technology and correct thinking are the inevitable premises, and all kinds of unintentional actions during experiments are the driving force for successful creation......

However, this kind of accident is placed on Xiao Luban, maybe it is also inevitable?

In short, Zhao Wuxian seemed to see the god of fate smiling at him, and the public loss class not only made a qualified hemp paper by mistake, but also redeemed the clown that Zhao Wuxian made a mistake for a while.

The correct recipe for writing paper has been found, and Zhao Wuxian has also a matter of concern.

He said to Gong Xichi, who was still looking down and reminiscing about many things today: "Zihua, your suggestion must not be ignored, so that a small bamboo slip workshop can be built in a place where there is more bamboo and wood, and parallel it before the paper process matures." ”

Gongxi Chi was overjoyed and bowed and thanked him.

After today's events, Zhao Wuxian also realized that it is not an overnight thing for paper to replace existing writing materials, but it can become a strong competitor to bamboo slips, wooden slips, and silk until it becomes the only writing material!

"The right recipe has been found, and when the craftsman is proficient in the papermaking process, he can improve his technique, expand the material, and improve the quality of the paper."

When he slowly explores the direct use of plant fibers to make paper, he will probably be able to make the blank paper he once told Le Lingzi! And that temporary bamboo slip workshop can also be transformed into a sentinel for bamboo picking, killing two birds with one stone.

The shirtless also allowed Ji Qiao to give a great credit to the craftsmen involved in papermaking, and rewarded them with a certain amount of money and corn to increase their enthusiasm.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, so he turned back to the father and son who went out of the workshop to say goodbye, and the workers and craftsmen, "This paper ......."

He pointed to the public losing class and said with a smile: "Your father and son have made great contributions, so they will be named the public losing paper!" ”

Historically, later generations had Caihou paper and Zuobo paper were famous all over the world, but because of the appearance of Zhao Wuxian, the ancestors of paper in this era became "public paper"!

Perhaps, this is just the beginning, and in the next few decades, there may be more and more novel artifacts in the name of "Gongyi, Luban", until they become a torrent that changes the times......

……

Zhao Wuxian had just left the craftsman's workshop and returned to the Liqiuyi Temple, and before he had time to drink a sip of water, Kan Zhi, a young man he had brought with him as an assistant, hurriedly walked inside, and said this and this in his ear.

It's the latest news about Confucius! It is also an unexpected news that is reasonable and unexpected! (To be continued......)
