Hou Ze led his tribe members to travel to various places to arrange learning for each ape.
"Dear craftsmen, these are the residents of Huaguo Mountain."
"I'll bring them here to give you a hand."
"If there's anything you need to do, just ask."
Although it is not stated explicitly, the craftsmen are not stupid either.
These apes are here to learn.
No one is hiding it, and they are teaching skills while working.
Since this time.
Everyone had a great time.
All kinds of mountain delicacies and spiritual fruits are available every day, and after a break from work, there is also Fairy Brew Monkey Wine.
Life is more prosperous than that of a king.
especially.
Huaguo Mountain is a truly blessed place.
There are many rare and rare treasures in the mountains, such as crystals and jade.
Close to the East China Sea.
The apes went into the sea to play in the water from time to time and also collected many pearls.
To the apes, these things are just strange gadgets.
It is even less beneficial to cultivation.
But in the eyes of humans, it is a real treasure.
The pearls that the apes used as toys were even better than those used in the palace.
The apes regard craftsmen as teachers, and they are eager to learn and ask questions.
When they found that craftsmen liked these shiny gadgets, they often used such things to please them.
The craftsmen also do not hide anything and teach everything they have learned.
Humans and ape masters and apprentices get along very harmoniously, and everyone is happy.
Chen Fan was also happy to see this happen.
After all, ordinary pearls and crystals are meaningless to them. The most important thing is to be able to exchange them for real technology and knowledge.
The foundation has been laid.
Now let’s look at everyone’s learning progress.
Everyone has no doubt that Huaguoshan will prosper.
This day.
The apes suddenly reported a news.
"Your Majesty, Aolai Kingdom has sent an envoy."
"He also brought a lot of things."
Chen Fan nodded.
He helped Aofeng eliminate the sea monsters, secure the throne, and promised protection.
What you get is not just the talents in the mountains.
One of them is various resources.
Aolaiguo prepared for a while and finally delivered the things.
The special envoy respectfully presented a gift list.
"Sir, this is what our king gives you."
"There are also some thoughts."
Chen Fan glanced briefly.
In addition to various resources, Aofeng also prepared some gold and silver jewelry.
However, this thing has no meaning at all to him.
But this special envoy looked a little familiar.
"I remember you seemed to be Aofeng's personal guard?"
The special envoy nodded quickly and smiled:
"Thanks to the immortal."
"After your Majesty ascends the throne, we will also follow him to become officials and nobles."
"The commander was even promoted to Minister of War."
Chen Fan nodded.
This group of personal guards desperately protect Aofeng, which is the power of Conglong.
This is also the treatment they deserve.
"Since you have come all the way to Huaguo Mountain."
"Yuan Yi, take him down to rest and entertain him well."
The apes immediately started moving and moved things into the warehouse.
Send the envoy away.
Chen Fan also recruited Master Ji and several chief craftsmen.
"I have some drawings here. See if you can make them."
In the past few days, Chen Fan has signed in several times.
Although I didn’t get any cultivation items, they were all really good things.
Technical drawings for papermaking, printing, etc.
Many of the resources he specifically asked Aofeng to send were prepared for this purpose.
The craftsmen gathered together quickly to study the drawings.
Master Ji was only interested in learning.
But I also know the importance.
"This is a job assigned to us by the King himself."
"If we can do it, we should do it as soon as possible. If we can't do it, we should also find ways to study it."
The craftsmen nodded.
During this time, they lived very well in Huaguo Mountain.
There is quite a feeling of being happy and reluctant to miss Shu.
Now that I have the opportunity, of course I have to work hard to show myself.
The craftsmen circulated the drawings to each other, but no one spoke for a long time.
"Will it work or not?"
Mr. Ji was a little anxious.
The craftsmen looked at me and I looked at you, and finally a leader stood up.
"Master Ji, it's not about whether it can be done or not."
"But we've never heard of such a thing."
"Pulpating grass and wood debris into wood pulp, and then scooping it up with gauze, what is this?"
"We have never heard of papermaking? What is paper?"
Now Sun Wukong has not left Fangcun Mountain.
It was still very early when paper was invented, so of course these people would never have heard of it.
Chen Fan opened his mouth to explain.
"Paper is something that can be used to write on."
"Can be used for writing, drawing, etc."
"You can think of it as silk cloth or sheepskin rolls, but it's more practical and cheaper."
Craftsmen are still thinking about how to make paper.
Ji Fuzi had already screamed.
"There is such a divine object? How is this possible?"
this era.
People cut wood or bamboo into wood chips to make bamboo slips.
Not only is it quite onerous, but it is also very difficult to write.
Silk cloth and parchment rolls were extremely expensive, and even the palace rarely used them.
Now I heard that there is a magical thing called paper.
It can also be used for writing.
Ji Fuzi was stunned immediately.
If paper is really so magical, it will be an important thing that changes the entire cultural world.
He held the papermaking drawings with trembling hands.
"Shangxian, are these drawings real?"
Chen Fan smiled and nodded.
"it is true."
"Not just papermaking, there was another printing technology that was also important."
Ji Fuzi quickly picked up another drawing and looked at it carefully.
Printing is relatively simple.
Craftsmen often carve things on stone, and Jifuzi also carved them on bamboo slips.
So I'm not unfamiliar with this.
However, he is still a little confused.
"Shangxian, although this printing technique is good, it is too troublesome."
"Every time you print an article, you have to make an engraving, which is far less convenient and faster than transcribing."
Chen Fan shook his head slightly.
"Block printing is really troublesome."
"But what I want to do is movable type printing."
As Chen Fan explains the manufacturing principles of movable type printing.
People were shocked again.
"It can still be like this!"
Ji Fuzi picked up a roll of bamboo slips, broke them into pieces and rearranged them.
Press them one by one on the ground.
Sure enough, a new sentence appeared!
"Huh? Why is this word backwards?"
One craftsman scratched his head in confusion.
Another person quickly said:
"Stupid, when we are engraving, can't we just engrave in reverse?"
That's right.
Reverse engraving, arrange printing, and add paper as a magical thing.
Jifuzi's eyes widened.
He quickly stood up and looked at Chen Fan with burning eyes.
"The Immortal Fruit deserves to be called a real immortal, and he actually invented such a magical thing."
"Please rest assured, I will personally supervise the research on paper and printing."
"It must be done as soon as possible."
Chen Fan nodded lightly.
Huaguoshan is already on the right track.
But they still used bamboo slips, and the number of books was far from enough.
With papermaking and printing, learning progress can be further improved.
not to mention.
Chen Fan also wanted to write poems and paintings to cultivate his sentiments.
He himself has a returning-to-nature level of painting skills.
It's a waste if you don't use it.
Cultivation is not just hard work. Relaxation is the righteous method.
