I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 10

Coming from modern times, as a member of Zhuxia, even if you are not familiar with it, you will have related concepts about papermaking.

According to historical records, papermaking was invented in the Western Han Dynasty and improved in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There is another saying that the appearance of paper was earlier than the Western Han Dynasty. The reason is that Zhu Xia had long been able to raise silkworms. Since silkworms were drawn from silkworm cocoons to weave silk, the remaining bad cocoons and diseased cocoons were used to make silk floss.After the wadding is finished, there will be some residual wadding left on the strip mat.If the number of wadding is increased, the residual wadding on the bamboo mat will accumulate into a layer of fibrous sheets, which can be peeled off after drying and can be used for writing.There are not many by-products of this kind of floating flocculation, and ancient books call it he (tí) or square flocculation.

The technology of making silk has existed before the Spring and Autumn Period, and Lao Zhi’s family is quite good at it. Zhiyao himself didn’t know that there would be paper-like things when weaving silk. When I happened to check the workshop, I was very surprised.

Now that Lao Zhi’s family already has the relevant technology of wadding, Zhiyao’s production of paper can save a lot of research steps, and the rest is to choose the materials used to make paper, order the craftsmen to conduct experiments again and again, and choose the cheapest material to make paper. Just make paper.

"Do people nowadays write more with pens or cut with knives?" Zhiyao didn't pay special attention.

Bamboo slips carry the most characters, both written and engraved. When engraving, the strokes are not necessarily the same as the habit of writing with a pen.

So, there is ink at present, but compared with the ink before I used to write on paper, both are ink but the quality is different.

Another point is that bamboo slices actually have their own textures. Sometimes lettering needs to avoid some textures, which makes some glyphs a bit weird.

But then again, the font of the big seal is just like that, whether you think it looks beautiful or difficult to write, the bamboo slips are used to carry it. In the era of writing on paper, people will naturally study new fonts.

Because there is no need for too much research, Zhiyao stayed in the paper mill for two days before leaving.

follow-up?Zhiyao waited for the craftsman to report the materials, the ratio of various materials, and the result after floating the cotton wool.

The tradition of Laozhi’s family is weaving, and he has accumulated a lot of relevant knowledge. Zhiyao knows that if he wants to be the heir, he must learn relevant knowledge, and wonders whether he can improve the spinning wheel after receiving the teaching.

"I've read a novel, which introduced the history of the improvement of the spinning wheel in detail. The peak of the feudal era seems to be the three-spindle spinning wheel?" Zhiyao was very distressed that she didn't learn the relevant knowledge before she didn't have a soul wear.

Modern people have access to a lot of information, and there are not too many inventions and creations that they know, but ninety-nine out of ten things are too difficult for people who don't understand to make them from scratch...or they can't be made at all.

Zhiyao is very thankful that she is a big family with soul transmigration, and has many people who can be called upon, and they themselves have the corresponding skills.

Could it be that the soul was worn on the slave?He is not qualified to talk to nobles at all, so he should feel lucky that he didn't get killed if he dared to beep.

Ordinary Li and Shu can support themselves first, and then they don't have the resources, and they can't have the opportunity to communicate with the nobles, let alone get investment.

Soul transmigrated to a small noble family?Do you think any noble family has so many craftsmen, especially craftsmen in every industry?Unless the ability of the traverser is ridiculously high, not only must he understand the technology himself, but also teach others, train a group of assistants, reproduce various tools, and then he has the basis for inventing and manufacturing.He only has concepts, without mature technology and craftsmen who provide orders, so it is useless to become a little noble in soul wear.

Later, Zhiyao went to study coal again.

"Pounding coal into powder requires fineness." Zhiyao began to order people around again.

What does he want to do?Get briquettes.

The tools that were made before are just suitable for use. It is nothing more than crushing the coal lumps first, and then using the tools to pound them into powder.

The people who do these jobs are slaves, they only wear a pair of pants, and their mouths and noses are covered with cloth hoods.

Tinker with coal!It will definitely make the whole body black, and the sweat will be a streak on the upper body.

Zhiyao was inspecting the yellow mud, and also ordered the slaves to smash the yellow mud into powder.

"80.00% coal plus 20.00% yellow mud, then poured water to mix, and then it is the impression."

Do you know what Zhiyao did beforehand to engage in briquettes?He racked his brains to make a mold for making briquettes!

Because it has been used for a long time, Zhiyao provided ideas and methods, and the craftsman made a bronze coal printing mold with the method of casting.

In fact, it is also possible to use wood as a mold, but it lacks a lot of tools. It is actually more difficult to make molds from wood than from bronze.

Zhiyao made briquette because he remembered that its combustion temperature is higher. If high-quality briquette can be produced, coupled with a suitable iron smelting furnace, it may not be impossible to liquefy iron.

If iron can be liquefied, Zhiyao dares to research steel!

Once Lao Zhijia has the ability to produce steel?Zhiyao dared to single out all the countries with the strength of the old Zhi family!
Seems like something is wrong?Zhiyao looked at the warriors guarding her around, and then recalled the observations along the way to "Luoyi" with a "brigade".

Since Zhiying’s generation, the old Zhi’s family’s private army’s combat effectiveness is actually the same. The national war can bully the armies of most countries. "But it can't be beaten.

Civil strife broke out repeatedly in the state of Jin, and the Zhi family had never participated in it, which meant that they had no history of fighting with other families.

In the past, the Que family was the most powerful in the state of Jin, and then the Que family fell under the siege of the Luan family and other families.

Judging from the current situation, the Wei family is the one that can fight the most in the state of Jin. What is more terrible is that the Wei family has risen for a shorter time, and the number of private troops of the family is far less than that of the other high-ranking families.

It is amazing that the Zhao family was reestablished after its collapse. They have only three generations from Zhao Wu to Zhao Yang, and they have surpassed several old Qing families in the number of private troops they own, only slightly less than the Fan family. Some.

Of course, if the Zhi family and the Zhongxing family are still both the Xun family, that is, the two families merge into one family, no matter in terms of fiefdom and population, including the number of private troops owned, not only will it be the family with the largest number in Jin, but the entire "Oriental World" No family can compare.

"I can't just focus on 'inventing' and creating, but I should seize a force!" Zhiyao knows this very well, and the worst thing is that it can't be done!
The old Zhijia is now in power, no matter it is Zhishen or whoever, they are only acting on behalf of the rights granted by Zhili, and they have no power of their own at all.

So, even if Zhiyao can master a private army and train them to be extremely elite, as long as Zhiyao gives an order, no matter how much Zhiyao buys people's hearts, believe it or not, this private army will still obey Zhiyao. How about the scheduling?
That is a continuation of etiquette, that is, the ownership of the so-called "name" and "vessel".

Knowing that point, Zhiyao calmed herself down, thinking: "How is the matter between the Zhao family and Handan Zhao going? How far have the Fan family and Zhongxing family intervened?"

Zhiyao heard that Zhao Yang let Zhao Wu go, and she decided that since the Zhao family had her eye on Handan Zhao, the matter would not be over like that, and there must be a follow-up!
