Chapter 237: The day when the grand meeting is held, when the name of the paper is spread all over the world!
Return home.
Qin Luoheng did not go to Xianyang again.
There is not much going on in the Doctor's Academy, and the function given to them by the court is to read books.
So the past days were very leisurely.
At home, Bo Shu and Zhao Tan were weaving, Guan E was still taking care of the seeds, and Qin Luoheng also rarely took a break, instead of reading, he chatted with the girls.
He moved the deck chair to the backyard and watched relaxedly while basking in the sun.
Qin Luoheng rubbed his eyebrows when he saw that a large vegetable had sprouted. He was really having a headache with this thing now. It was neither popular nor popular, and he couldn't sell it at all.
He asked: "E, did the seeds Wu Rui send over say what kind of vegetables they were?"
Guan E said:
"said."
"There are winter melons, cucumbers, vegetables..."
Guan E was very familiar with these and answered easily. As she spoke, she pointed to the corresponding vegetable seedlings to Qin Luoheng.
Finished.
Guan E pointed to several other plants.
Said: "Master Wu heard that his beloved loved yellow flowers, so he also found some flower seeds with yellow cores, such as this yellow-flowered Artemisia annua, and this..."
Hear the words.
Qin Luoheng's mouth twitched.
When did he like yellow flowers?
They were clearly a few yellow chrysanthemums left in the courtyard. He dried them in the sun and used them to make tea. As a result, Wu Rui misunderstood and thought he liked yellow flowers, so he reciprocated by giving himself some seeds with yellow cores.
He couldn't laugh or cry.
He has no interest in flowers!
but.
He is still very interested in winter melons and cucumbers. At least, the food can be improved. Now he eats radishes and cabbages all the time. He is really tired of eating them. However, the winter melons and cucumbers native to the south are different from those of later generations. They are all hairy melons. There are some outside
A layer of white frost.
Chatted for a while.
Qin Luoheng then looked at Guan E.
Guan E didn't wear any pink or pink, and was wearing an unadorned white linen dress. For some reason, Guan E's figure has improved dramatically in the past few months. Her figure, which was originally a bit thin, now has rounded lines. Even if it is hidden under the wide linen clothes, she still looks slim.
It looks very exquisite and attractive.
Seeing Qin Luoheng staring at her intently, Guan E couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. Two wisps of blush appeared on her gorgeous oval cheeks, and her twin auspicious eyes also revealed a shy smile. The affection was so strong that it felt like a spring breeze.
Bo Shu, Zhao Tan and Guan E have different personalities.
Bo Shu is elegant and generous, Zhao Tan has a heroic spirit, and Guan E is very gentle. The three women have different personalities, but they get along exceptionally well.
Don't fight or grab.
This made Qin Luoheng couldn't help but praise him.
Cuckoo!
The sound of boiling water resounded in the courtyard.
Guan E heard the sound and hurriedly went to the kitchen. After a while, she came to Qin Luoheng with a bowl of hot soup. She carefully placed her hands on the eucalyptus board aside. Qin Luoheng reached out and took it.
He didn't say anything in words, but expressed his gratitude in actions.
Their fingers touched lightly.
Guan E looked up at him, her eyes were very bright. The two met every day, and they were already very familiar with each other. However, compared to Bo Shu and Zhao Tan, Qin Luoheng was not really close to Guan E, just a little bit.
The physical contact made his eyes look a little strange.
Qin Luoheng looked at Guan E.
Guan'e's delicate and snow-white neck suddenly turned pink, and her pale face added a bit of shame.
Qin Luoheng's heart felt hot.
He put the hot soup back on the eucalyptus board and took Guan E to the bedroom. Guan E's face turned completely red with shame and she murmured in a low voice, but she couldn't hear what she said clearly.
...
For several days in a row, Qin Luoheng stayed at home and had a full meal of Wenrouxiang.
These days.
Da and An sold all the cabbages and radishes in the field.
The selling price is not high.
It can even be said that you are making money at a loss.
However, Qin Luoheng didn't care about this. His focus was now on making paper. He soaked the bark of the trees by the river. The bark had already been soaked. After selling the cabbage and radish, he began to make paper.
.
He actually can't make paper.
I only know a rough process.
Everything depends on exploration.
The house in Yuexian is completely different now.
After a lot of hard work, I finally got a decent piece of paper, but the paper was a bit scratchy, yellow all over, and not smooth at all. It even cut my hands when I touched it.
Qin Luoheng spread the paper on the table, took out his pen and ink, dabbed some ink, and wrote a word on it. However, as soon as he dabbed the ink, the ink quickly spread out and instantly stained a large area. It could not be used at all.
write.
Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:
"no."
"This paper is too rough to be used."
"Next time, the hemp bark and tree bark should be made thinner, as well as the bamboo curtains for making paper. The current paper cannot be used for writing at all. Even if you use it to wipe your butt, it will feel irritated.
scratch."
"What other problems did you find?"
Qin Luoheng looked at Da Hean.
Da hesitated for a while and then said: "Parents, this paper can only be cut one by one, not piled together. If piled together, it will easily stick to each other. Otherwise, it will not only be difficult to tear it apart, but even it will be really torn apart."
If it breaks, it will break directly."
Qin Luoheng hesitated for a moment.
He immediately said:
"This is easy to solve."
"Use some slime as a barrier between papers."
"It shouldn't be difficult to find this thing. The cheapest one is sunflower sprouts. There is a lot of this kind of mucus in sunflower sprouts. You can try it next time. If it doesn't work, try something else."
An hesitated and said:
"Parents, I feel like this piece of paper is useless."
"And there are too many processes. First, we soak them in water for several months, then soak them in plant ash, and then in spring, we also need to use sunflower liquid. It costs a lot of money here. We grow cabbage and radishes.
I’ve lost a lot of money, and if I mess with this thing again, I’m afraid I’ll lose even more.”
"Parents, please forget about it."
"And don't we use bamboo slips for writing? This 'paper' thing will break if you tear it lightly. It's not fireproof or moisture-proof. The process is cumbersome. It doesn't look like it can be worked out."
Qin Luoheng said:
"What do you know?"
"It's just that it hasn't been manufactured yet. When it is manufactured and the process is clear, will it still be so complicated? There are indeed bamboo slips for writing, but the cost of bamboo slips is too high, and most people can't afford them."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You should know very well how difficult it is for beginners to learn Braille."
"If there is paper, although the cost is also high, a piece of paper can write much more things than a bamboo slip. The world always praises people who have "five carts of knowledge", but how much knowledge can five carts have? Put it on a bamboo slip.
There are five cars on it, and it may only amount to a few hundred pages on paper."
"Paper does have all kinds of problems."
"But compared to the bamboo slips, it is undoubtedly much better."
"Keep doing it!"
"When will the paper be made so that the ink won't run off when writing? When will it be finished? What you are doing now is a great thing that benefits the people of the world. If it succeeds, I will personally ask you for credit. By then you may be able to restore your household registration.
.”
Hear the words.
Da and An were startled.
But they didn't expect that Qin Luoheng still cared about them, and he really wanted them to restore their household registration.
Da's eyes suddenly turned red.
Nodding and saying:
"Thank you, parents."
"I will definitely make paper to repay the parents for their trust."
Qin Luoheng shook his head.
said:
"I don't need your repayment."
"You are indeed ministers, but you are only ministers, not prisoners. Although I don't know why you became ministers, but ministers cannot restore your household registration. I was demoted to a prisoner, but you were then
If you never leave, how can I ignore you?"
"Just try it boldly."
"Even if the cost is too high, I will bear it."
"When the paper is made, you can use it to learn. Then you will know how convenient paper is."
Finished.
Qin Luoheng went to sort out the papermaking process.
He wanted to record down all the problems discovered during the papermaking process. There was no room for carelessness in papermaking. This was a very far-reaching relationship.
and.
He has an idea.
In August, Da Qin will hold a grand gathering of scholars.
In terms of knowledge alone, not many people in Da Qin are good at it. Most of those who are really good at it have been promoted to the court, and they don't bother to participate.
Daqin is the organizer, so there must be something outstanding.
And paper is undoubtedly a good way.
so.
That's why he was so interested in papermaking.
Moreover, papermaking has indeed brought more benefits than disadvantages to Daqin. The current cost of teaching in Daqin is too high, so high that ordinary officials and families cannot afford it. If there is paper, the cost of teaching in Daqin will undoubtedly be reduced a lot. Although it is still very high, but
It will drop quite a bit relatively.
Reducing the cost of teaching is an urgent matter for Daqin.
Half a month later.
After various attempts, he finally succeeded in making the paper.
To say it was successful is not entirely true.
It can only be said that the ink won't run off easily when I write it down.
Looking at the clear horizontal line on the paper, Da and An also looked excited.
In the past half month, they had not had a good sleep. They were thinking about how to improve papermaking. They tried various methods, but the results failed again and again. They really almost collapsed. Fortunately, they succeeded in the end.
.
Da said excitedly:
"Parents, it's successful."
"We really succeeded in making paper!"
Said.
Qin Luoheng smiled and nodded.
He has been very tired for the past half month and has basically stayed here, getting up all day long to make various attempts. Now that he can see that the paper can be written normally, he is relieved.
but.
He didn't show too much excitement.
He spread the yellow paper from the same batch on the table one by one, picked up the brush and wrote a few words on it one by one, making sure that there was no ink leakage. This time he finally relaxed.
He smiled and said:
"Yes, it finally worked."
"I have worked hard for so long, and finally I have gained something. But don't be complacent. Now follow the process this time, continue to make paper, and turn all the remaining pulp into paper. Now everything is ready, all you need is the east wind."
"When the grand meeting is held in August, it will be the day when paper becomes famous all over the world."
"Your status as a subordinate has come to an end."
Da and An looked at each other, knelt down and said gratefully: "Thank you, parents, for your contribution. I am grateful."
"You deserve this." Qin Luoheng laughed, and then teased: "But if you want to restore your household registration, it will take at least two months. In these two months, don't be lazy for me."
