Chapter 111 It's so hard! Ask for a monthly ticket
Leader Tongtian put down the mobile phone in his hand.
A smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.
"This Xu Ji... I would say he is brave... but he tells me everything..."
"I would say he is timid..."
"All the people can do such a thing as He Bo!"
"Interesting! Interesting!" the saint commented.
It's really interesting, isn't it?
But the leader of Tongtian doesn’t want to interfere!
Everything is Xu Ji's free will.
Let nature take its course, and nature will take its course.
Doing it forcefully is not beautiful!
On this issue, Master Tongtian and Taishang have the same view.
For mortals, excessive interference is harmful to them.
Mortals have their own free will and can make choices.
It doesn't matter if I'm wrong.
The mistakes of this generation will become lessons for the next generation.
From this, it is endless and endless.
Although it is said that Xu Ji is in the lower realm with the saint body and magic power of the Tongtian leader.
But doesn’t Heavenly Dao have any objections?
Then he walked to the bed, picked up the "Historical Records" that he had not finished yesterday, and continued reading.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Iron Horse Glacier, come to mind from the words.
……………………
July in Shashuihe is full of vitality.
There are more and more new waterwheels on both sides of the river embankment.
It is updated almost every three days on the river bank.
Last year's old waterwheels have been phased out.
But after it was eliminated, it was not wasted.
People can reuse parts of old waterwheels and use them in new waterwheels.
Other scraps are not wasted.
Or as fuel, or as spare parts for repairing equipment.
In an era of extremely low productivity, even in a mythical world, one must be diligent and thrifty and make effective use of all resources.
On this day, Xu Ji just finished his three-day lecture.
Then a homework was assigned to the children.
Um……
It's the famous chicken and rabbit problem.
Then he got up, rode on the buffalo, and came to the pond that Meng Bai had built in the valley near Taojia Village.
Xu Ji looked at the pieces of bark soaking in the dug ponds.
Then he asked Meng Bai who was here: "Isn't it still possible?"
Meng Bai bowed deeply and apologized: "Tianzun, my disciple is stupid and failed to fulfill Tianzun's instructions. I am guilty! I am guilty!"
"I beg the Heavenly Lord to punish me!"
Xu Ji looked at the bark soaked in the pool water.
They have been soaking for more than half a month.
But it's still the same as it was.
It did not become soft as the information he found on the Internet said.
If the bark cannot be softened by soaking, how can it be pulped?
How to make paper if you can't make pulp?
Could it be...
Is it because the bark of trees in this mythical world is particularly hard?
While building the waterwheel, Xu Ji discovered that in this mythical world, trees grew extremely tall.
Giant trees in deep mountains are usually tens of meters high.
It takes four or five people to hug the tree trunk.
The bark of the tree is as hard as iron, and it is naturally impossible for the people of Shashui today to have such things as iron tools and steel axes.
They only have a few bronze vessels in their hands.
In this way, hundreds of villages on both sides of Shashui River were searched, as well as the surrounding mountains and plains with a radius of hundreds of miles.
Only a few thousand pieces were collected.
Only then did Xu Ji realize that in the human world, copper mines are difficult to smelt.
If you don't have Taoist and magical powers, you can smelt it with real fire.
So he could only put incense copper into the crucible.
It takes one ingot of incense copper to smelt dozens of kilograms of bronze.
Forged bronze wares also require a certain proportion of fragrant copper.
To make it take shape!
Otherwise, with mortal strength, it would be impossible to shape the bronze!
And even with a bronze ax cast in this way, it would be difficult to chop down those huge trees.
It takes several people taking turns to cut down, and it takes more than half a month to chop down several axes to cut down a tree.
After Xu Ji learned about this, he taught the people to make bronze saws.
This greatly increased the efficiency of logging and increased the speed of waterwheel manufacturing on both sides of the Shashui River.
nature……
If the bark of the tree is as hard as iron, it may be difficult to soften it with water.
Or I think too simply and am too superstitious about modern technology!
Thinking like this, Xu Ji comforted Meng Bai: "It has nothing to do with you..."
"Maybe I remembered it wrong!"
"Dig another pond tomorrow... put some fragrant copper into the pond and see the effect!..."
"Yes!" Meng Bai immediately received the decree and took people to dig the pond.
Then, divert water from the channel into the pool.
Several ingots of incense copper were put into the pool - nowadays, because He Bo basically does not need such things as incense copper.
As long as Li Shisan has basic incense, he can meet his daily needs of making clouds and rain.
With the Hebo sacrifices and incense in each village, it became more and more prosperous.
Now Li Shisan can even spare some energy to allocate his mana to adjust the flow rate of relevant water bodies according to the needs of each village.
A little faster here, a little slower there.
To He Bo, it was just a matter of magic.
The entire Shashui River is under his control.
Therefore, even if the fragrant copper is condensed at the normal speed.
The people of Shashui River also suddenly had a lot of fragrant copper.
This led to an increase in the number of folk bronzes.
There were even people starting to plow the fields with bronze vessels.
This was almost unimaginable in the past!
Five days later, Xu Ji came here again to inspect.
However……
The result was just a little better.
The bark of the tree soaked in the pool is a little softer, but only a little softer.
I want to pound it into wood pulp and then make paper pulp.
The manpower and material resources required may not be what the people of Shashuihe can afford now.
Even if it were made, I'm afraid no one would be able to use it.
Xu Ji could just reach out and crush all the bark.
Even if his mount only needs to step on it a few times, it will be the same.
But the problem is...
Relying on Taoism and magical powers is not an option after all.
People must rely on themselves.
Or let the people master Taoism and magical powers!
if not……
Xu Ji knew that he would inevitably fall into the cycle of the past.
Meng Bai was so ashamed that he confessed repeatedly and even wanted to punish himself.
Xu Ji quickly comforted him that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Perhaps the bark of these trees is not suitable..." Xu Ji said to him: "I think that there must be a kind of relatively soft bark that grows in large quantities in this world and can be found everywhere!"
"Take people to ask and search everywhere..."
"Try planting trees..."
“You can always find it!”
At this time, a retainer following Meng Bai seemed to have thought of something, but he did not dare to speak, so he hesitated to speak.
Xu Ji knew it as soon as he saw it, so he asked him, "Do you know?"
The man replied: "The villain heard a legend told by an old man when he was a child..."
"Huh?" Xu Ji asked, "Please come closer and talk!"
The man was overjoyed when he heard the words. He came before the Heavenly Lord and bowed his head and said: "I am from Ba country. When I was young, I was in my hometown. I heard the old man in my hometown say..."
"In ancient times, there was a mythical beast called the Iron-Eating Beast, which fed on iron bamboo in the mountains and rode with Chi You..."
"The Holy Emperor defeated Chi You, but when he was chasing a deer, he was almost injured by an iron-eating beast, so he hated him!"
"He issued a decree and used his magical power to turn all the iron bamboos in the world into green bamboos..."
"The leaves of the green bamboo are made soft and tasteless, and the body of the green bamboo is brittle and useless..."
"I can only make silk and bamboo musical instruments..."
"From now on, the iron-eating beasts can no longer absorb the energy of Geng metal from the iron bamboo..."
"As a result, the iron-eating beast clan gradually declined and had no choice but to retreat to the mountains and even be injured by tigers and leopards!"
Xu Ji was overjoyed when he heard this.
He knows about the iron-eating beast, Gungun.
Does this mythical world also exist?
Moreover, it seems that this iron-eating beast was very majestic in the past.
But because I helped someone I shouldn’t have helped.
Therefore, people cut off the source of food, and changed from a mythical beast that eats iron to a cute creature that eats bamboo.
but……
The rolling disaster is Xu Ji’s happiness!
and……
Making paper from bamboo?
Totally feasible! Totally feasible!
Dangjia asked: "What is your name? If what you said is true, I will remember your merits, and everyone in the world will be grateful to you in the future!"
Hearing this, the man immediately bowed: "My surname is Xu, my humble name is Shuanglu... I really don't dare to insult the ears of the Heavenly Lord!"
"What an insult!" Xu Ji personally stepped forward to help him up and said, "Do you know that if what you said is true, you will have made great contributions to the world!"
Paper is a powerful tool to break the monopoly of knowledge.
Even in this mythical world, Xu Ji believes that it will work wonders!
How many immortals are there in the sky, and how many monks are there underground?
Xu Ji didn't know, but Xu Ji understood that their number must be far less than ordinary mortals.
When Xu Shuanglu heard this, he immediately said: "How dare you lie in front of Tianzun..."
"When I was little, I saw the adults in my family cutting bamboo from the mountains and making bamboo flutes!"
