Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 23 Papermaking and printing fried steel
After Li Shimin arranged for Duan Zhixuan and Qiu Xinggong to send a team to Longhu Mountain to find the genius doctor Sun Simiao, Li Shimin did not wait for Li Cha to come out, but the couple went into the inner hall together to find Li Cha.

"Third brother, what kind of place is Fang Wai? Is it really that much stronger than Datang?" Li Shimin still couldn't hold back, and asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"Fang Wai, how should I put it? According to the current development process of Datang, it may reach that level after another 1000 years of development. Second brother, don't think about it. Your army can't get there, and the army there can't get there Don’t worry if you can’t beat Datang, no matter how powerful it is there, it won’t affect Datang.”

As soon as Li Shimin asked this sentence, Li Cha knew what he meant. It was nothing more than two points. First, Li Shimin had a characteristic in his bones. into the palace.The second is that he is afraid that the powerful Fang Wai will affect his rule over Datang.

"Hey, the second brother has no other ideas, he just wants to go and have a look. Do you think the second brother can go?" Li Shimin laughed.

"Yes, you can go. When there is thunder, you can find a hillside, hold your cold iron spear, and look for the thunderbolt. If you survive the catastrophe, you can just lie on the bed for more than ten years."

"Of course, I don't know if I come back or not, unless you were also struck by lightning in Fangwai. Don't think about going to find Lei yourself in Fangwai, and take the initiative to send yourself back. After going to Fangwai, what do you think of Datang? I have no memory at all, everything started with a newborn child." Li Cha glanced at Li Shimin and said.

Li Cha really didn't want to talk to Li Shimin about the future generations. The degree of perfection of medical care, cultural education, and strategic equipment in the future generations is beyond Li Shimin's life. How can he tell Li Shimin about this.

It is no wonder that Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who is determined to be the number one emperor in the ages and determined to make the Tang Dynasty the most powerful country in the world, has no fighting spirit when he tells the truth.

"Hey, forget it, the second brother doesn't have your physique, it's no wonder he survived being struck by lightning." Li Shimin said with a sneer.

"Second brother, don't think about those useless things. Looking at the history of China for more than four thousand years, no one has been there except me, or even if they have gone, no one has come back. Otherwise, our Great Tang will not This is what it looks like now," Li Cha said.

"Second brother, let me continue what I said just now. I have already given you the "San Zi Jing" and "Di Zi Gui" for children's enlightenment education, as well as chalk and blackboard. I will ask the soldiers in the village to deliver them when I go back. Those things are very easy to make. , As for how and when to use this thing, I don't care, you can arrange it."

"As for the Chinese pinyin, it's not the time to come up with it. If it's just a simple reform of enlightenment education, whether it's the Guanlong Group or the Shandong gentry, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs will strongly support it, but if you promote literacy and reading for all now, That will really shake their foothold, and it will not be so easy. We need to boil the frogs in warm water, step by step."

"There is also the Quyuanli. Now is the time for farming. You should arrange it as soon as possible. The manpower and material resources saved can reclaim a few acres of wasteland and produce a few more grains. The samples have been sent to you. As for how to promote it, I don’t need me to teach you. You can discuss things with your capable people and strangers. Now I will talk to you about papermaking and printing.”

"Let's talk about printing first. Now Datang uses block printing. Engraving is time-consuming, labor-intensive and materials-intensive. It is not easy to correct typos. It is also inconvenient to store a large number of book plates. Moth-eaten, wet, and dry will damage the books after a long time. The engravings cause damage. When a book is saturated, these engravings are useless and can only be shelved. Right?" Li Cha asked.

"Yes, this is the case now. It is very troublesome to print a book. Many books written by great Confucians are waiting for typesetting. Several old scholars are fighting to the death for whose book to print." Li Shimin replied.

"Haven't you ever thought of monogramming? Cut the entire board into small boards the size of a character, and engrave a character on each board. When printing, use individual characters directly and arrange them into sentences. How good it is. Commonly used characters are all Prepare a few or dozens of them for repeated use in the same edition. When encountering uncommonly used characters, if you don’t prepare them in advance, you can use them as you make them. Is this all right? Store them after use and save the movable type They are sorted by rhyme and placed in wooden grids, and marked with paper strips, so that they can be stored for easy selection when they are used later.”

"Great, clever, it's so much more convenient. Those old scholars don't have to fight for who's book to be printed and who's not to be printed, hahaha. As long as there are craftsmen, it's just time to print as many books as possible. Question." Li Shimin shouted excitedly.

"I know I'm brilliant, so you don't need to boast. As far as I know, wood, lead, clay, and copper are all fine. You can let your skilled craftsmen to study it. It will save them all day when they have nothing to do, and they will know how to build palaces." Don't repair your Daming Palace, this Taiji Palace is very good, save some manpower, material and financial resources and do more serious work. The method and principles are left to you, and I don't care about the rest." Li Cha said to Li Shimin.

"Let me talk to you again about papermaking. Now we mainly use mulberry bark and rattan bark to make paper. The process is troublesome, and the price of paper is more expensive than cloth. You can ask your people to try bamboo hemp, sandalwood bark, wheat straw, and rice. Rods and other raw materials. I prefer bamboo and hemp. The production process can be summed up as chopping hemp, removing its green, sauce its ashes, boiling with fire, washing with water, copying with curtains, and brushing with green. I will go back and explain the specific process Write it out for you in detail, find someone to send it to you, and find someone to experiment. When the time comes to actually make bamboo paper, you will know the benefits of it."

Li Cha briefly talked about the improvement of papermaking. The quality of Datang's paper is not bad, and it is really expensive.This is why children from poor families have no books to read.

"Also, Datang's current steelmaking technology is too backward, and steel can only be made into steel after a hundred refinements. The common people basically use pig iron. I will write you a detailed method of frying steel later. Three people can produce refined steel for hundreds of times a day. Then you give me a map of Datang, I will mark out where there is iron, and you find someone to dig. Don’t ask me how I know, Fang Wai’s territory is exactly the same as that of Datang.” Li Cha said to Li Shimin .

"Third brother, what you said is true? The three of them can produce a hundred catties of refined steel a day? The Royal Ordnance Department of Steelmaking does not exceed four thousand catties a year. This is the maximum output of nearly five hundred skilled craftsmen. If it is true , then I will no longer worry about the weapons in the army, and my Modao team can expand again. Hahaha." Li Shimin laughed when he heard this, as if he saw the scene of the Tang army fighting for world hegemony.

"Stop, I don't give you the method of frying steel for you to use for foreign aggression. First, it meets the daily needs of the people of the Tang Dynasty. What you make of the rest is your business. I don't want to worry about it, but You must never start a war lightly, especially if you take the initiative to initiate a war of aggression." Li Cha gave Li Shimin a blank stare.Said with a serious face.

"Third brother, this statement is wrong. As the saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart must be different. Chen Tang, the great general of the Han Dynasty, also said that those who commit crimes against a strong Han will be punished even if they are far away. I also have such a saying in the Tang Dynasty. Domineering, I know that the third brother hates war very much now, but how can we allow others to snore on the side of the couch, only when we scare the foreigners can we truly develop our country with peace of mind." Li Shimin said.

"Second brother, listen to me. I'm not letting you fight. I also have the ideal of expanding the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but not now. After the people live in peace, we will train special soldiers to fight. It's not that we don't let these things go unnoticed. Any civilians with military training go to the front line, our ordinary people really can’t support a large-scale war. I hope you understand what I mean.”

Li Shimin had already planned for Li Cha's fury, but he didn't expect Li Cha to say such a word to him calmly.

If people of later generations heard the conversation of these two brothers, they would be shocked, because they couldn’t figure out why Li Cha knew everything. People of later generations only learn their own professional field. few.In fact, it may be God's will in the dark, and Li Cha was specially sent by God to learn this knowledge for future generations.

The 21st century is a society with the rapid development of the Internet and high technology. The industrial space is suppressed very little, the labor costs are high, the land is expensive, the machines are expensive, and the products are naturally expensive, which doubles the cost of living for ordinary people. .

Li Cha, a good man in China who started his career with high technology, can't see these things. Instead, he gave up the high-profit high-tech industry and built an industrial base for people's livelihood with tens of billions of funds, covering almost all the basic supplies related to people's livelihood. .Li Cha is also very close to the people, and likes to communicate with workers and technicians.Also naturally learned how to make these things.

In addition to papermaking, printing, steel frying, salt making, alkali making, alcohol, food processing, gunpowder, cement, concrete, etc., Li Cha knows everything.It's just that he didn't meet the corresponding trigger conditions, and Li Cha didn't think of taking out these techniques for a while.

Seeing that Li Shimin was seriously considering what he said just now, Li Cha didn't bother him.After a long time, Li Shimin said: "Perhaps what the third brother said is right, our Tang Dynasty really can't start a war lightly now, but if there are foreign enemies who dare to invade our land of the Tang Dynasty, I will not be relentless, and I will not seek their troubles It’s not bad, if they dare to come to trouble me, then they are courting their own death.”

"Hehe." Li Cha laughed, and didn't dwell on this issue any longer. "Second brother, sort out what I just said, and I will hand over everything to you, so you can arrange for people to implement it quickly, so that the officials in the court can calm down, and don't always think about fighting. Do more for the people Facts." Li Cha said immediately.

"Third brother, what kind of magical place is Fangwai? The printing, papermaking, and steelmaking you mentioned to the second brother just now are so much more advanced than the Tang Dynasty. There is also the issue of education for the common people. Walking in front of Datang. It is much stronger than ours. If you have learned anything else, talk to your second brother. Just for a while, if what you just said is realized, Datang’s national strength will become Double improvement." Li Shimin said with a sigh, obviously a little hit.

"Second brother, you can't imagine Fang Wai's miraculousness. The people there can go to the sky, enter the sea, and go to the ocean. It doesn't matter if you don't talk about it. As for the things in my mind, there are too many. I can't finish it all at once. .Second brother, it is impossible for a person to become fat in one bite, and it is impossible for Datang to become the top of the world in one day. What I said just now is enough for you to work for a long time."

"Our current task is to let the people of our Tang Dynasty not worry about food and clothing, read and write, and when the people no longer worry about food and clothing, and have the energy to study other things, our Tang Dynasty will naturally have many things to improve national strength. There are many things in my mind that I cannot accomplish alone, and only when Datang's overall strength has improved to a certain level can they truly realize their role." Li Cha said with emotion.

"Second brother, don't think about it, I just want to take good care of my seedlings first. After two years, the seedlings will spread to the whole Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will have no worries about eating and drinking. I will be a teacher in peace, Teach students what is in my mind, not only reading and literacy, but also a lot of other knowledge, including military training."

"Second brother, it is not feasible to govern the country only by Confucianism. Scholars, farmers, businessmen are the real foundation of the country, and of course there must be a strong army in charge. So, from now on, you need to prepare a big school for me. It exists alone. It is a comprehensive school that can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people."

"You send all the other princes except the prince, and the bastards of the officials who are so unpopular at home, to Shiqiao Village. In the past two years, I will teach them some basic things during the slack time of the farm. , They will be the first batch of students in our school. I will help you push Datang to an unprecedented height." Li Cha vowed.

　Printing, paper making, and steel frying, let's just take it as it is, Lao Yu doesn't want to write an explanatory text.A [-]-word chapter, please recommend.
