No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 1032 Be Yourself First
"Second brother..." Sun Shangxiang also figured it out, but she couldn't accept it anymore.

Ou Mengmeng shook her head at her. Although there was no one here, there was someone outside the door. After Ou Mengmeng came, she no longer believed that there were any confidants around her. She didn't trust anyone except Sun Shangxiang! So she would never speak nonsense, let alone let her daughter speak nonsense. Don't be impulsive on other people's territory.

When talking about why Sun Quan did this, she still used the time point to explain the historical events. Sun Yi was a military general, and he had a very smart and beautiful wife. At such a young age, he could take over the position of Danyang governor, which can prove how much Mrs. Wu loved him; and Sun Kuang was the youngest, the most favored of the Sun family, and the title was passed directly to him, bypassing the second and third sons. What's more, he was Cao Cao's nephew-in-law, so it was not impossible for Mrs. Wu and Cao Cao to help Sun Kuang rise.

Therefore, the time of Mrs. Wu's death is very interesting. There is also controversy about the year of Mrs. Wu's death in history. One says it was 202 AD, and the other says it was 207 AD.

Whether it is 202 or 207, it can be better explained as Sun Quan's work. If it is 202 AD, then Sun Yi and Sun Kuang both died after Madam Wu. It can be explained that Sun Quan finally waited until his mother died, so he could remove the brothers who made him feel uneasy one by one.

Now, Ou Mengmeng is in the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", where it is arranged that Mrs. Wu died in 207 AD, after Sun Kuang's death. At this time, the meaning is different, this is a game between mother and son. Sun Quan had no son at that time, while Sun Yi and Sun Kuang both had sons. Sun Yi and Sun Kuang each had their own strengths, so it is not impossible for Mrs. Wu to depose and enthrone.

Regardless of which one it is, Ou Mengmeng doesn't think Sun Quan is innocent. According to the beneficiary's guilt rate, these people died, and whoever benefited in the end was the murderer. Even if he didn't explicitly instigate these things, he couldn't be separated from these things.

"Fourth brother..." Sun Shangxiang saw her mother shaking her head, and realized that she had guessed too much, and it was a bit difficult for her to speak.

Sun Kuang had a good temper and was the most favored one in the family. When his father died, his eldest brother could have inherited his father's title of Marquis of Wucheng, but he gave the title to his fourth brother and went out to fight and gain military merit. Later, his merits were so great that he was directly granted the title of successor. But before that, the Sun family was nominally the Marquis of Wucheng in Wujun, and that was the fourth master Sun Kuang. This is why Cao Cao later chose Sun Kuang as his nephew's son-in-law, a young man who had been the Marquis of Wucheng for many years and had his own aura and elegant temperament.

She hadn't thought about Sun Yi's death yet. She only thought that Sun Kuang's death was quite strange. Thinking back, there was nothing she didn't understand. I believe that her aunt also understood it at the time, so when she asked for immortals and medicine, she was not without the intention of seeking death. And when her mother kept her by her aunt's side to take care of her illness, it also showed that they didn't want her to think too much at the time.

"Okay, go to sleep!" Ou Mengmeng didn't want to say anything more. Although there were only the two of them here, she didn't want anyone to hear anything. She patted her gently. She believed that with Sun Shangxiang's wisdom, she should know what she wanted to say. She had told her before that she should not believe anything Sun Quan said to her. Now that only Sun Lang was alive, Sun Shangxiang should not help her brother to cause trouble again.

Sun Shangxiang bowed silently to her mother and walked out.

The maid at the door also bowed to Sun Shangxiang, and waited until she left before entering the bedroom to keep watch for the governor.

Sun Shangxiang was still young after all, so in the next few days, she went out early and came back late, pretending to be busy. The main reason was that she had not yet calmed down. She did not dare to tell her fifth brother what she thought, and could only bear it silently. It was also easier to understand what her mother said, why the second brother said not to believe anything, but to make him believe that she and the fifth brother respected him. Now Sun Shangxiang would not think about Xu at all. Xu was nothing. If she couldn't even save Sun Kuang's life, what was she, a daughter? Why compete with Xu? It's better to be obedient and prove your ability.

Ou Mengmeng thinks Sun Shangxiang is still young and can't stand such a thing. Ou Mengmeng thinks it's good to be afraid, and she won't be willful in the future.

She had no comfort, no time! There was a new development in the printing workshop. Like Xiao Jiangshi thought, using cast iron and lost wax methods to make prints, then the ink and printing methods had to be changed. This workshop could not let people learn, so the workshop returned to the mountain of the medical school. This was considered a technical secret in the inner city.

However, Ou Mengmeng thinks this is something that can be learned at a glance, and the key is still in the ink and mechanical transmission mode. For example, the guy is very smart, he used a magnet as a fixed plate, and when the iron seal is arranged and placed on the fixed plate, the natural suction can play a stabilizing role.

Ou Mengmeng thought this method was good, but there should be a better way. Encouraging them to continue, she concentrated on thinking about the method of printing and transferring paper. She thought of a way to have a person at the side, feeding the paper one by one, and putting a soft pad on top, feeding the paper manually, and pressing the soft pad?
But this is a bit useless and cannot achieve the purpose of improving efficiency and reducing labor intensity. If this is the case, it is better to put one person on top to feed paper and print at the same time. The efficiency is a little slower, but it will get faster and faster with proficiency. If one person is not enough, you can put two. One feeds paper, the other prints and sweeps, and rolls oil on the print.

She actually felt that the biggest problem with using iron to make a seal was that iron did not absorb ink, and it had to be heated with oil every time it was used. But the benefits were also obvious. Xiao Jiang asked someone to write the seal mold, using the lost wax method. After printing, she had someone polish it, and the font was particularly beautiful. It was like the copper movable type in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which was beautiful. As for the issue of hiring more people, it was not a problem now. Anyway, there were not too many orphans and widows in the war, and the streets were full of people who needed to eat, so it was okay to increase job opportunities.

But immediately, she knew how to solve the problem. She thought of the modern automatic inking official seal. In fact, it is to add a printing bed with ink on the seal. So, the soft pad for pressing becomes a printing bed with ink, which solves the problem of automatic inking.

Ideas are just ideas. To turn them into productive forces requires constant experimentation. So she stayed in the workshop for several days in a row. Even Sun Quan came to watch them mixing new inks, how to make the printing bed lock the ink, and how to distribute it evenly. All of these required constant experimentation.

They also experimented with how to make the ink more fragrant and waterproof. Sun Quan no longer thought that his mother's work was simple. Instead, he felt that it was too difficult. When he saw his mother talking to the young man playing with the mechanism, he felt that he could not understand.

But after seeing their trial print, he said nothing. Now he knew why the old lady said that mimeographing was temporary. The words were so beautiful when this one was printed. He couldn't imagine how amazing people would be when the book was actually made. He looked at the words, which might be made of iron molds, and each word seemed to have iron bones.

Ou Mengmeng didn't care about them. She concentrated on studying her printing assembly line. Fortunately, there was a machine man. She was responsible for coming up with ideas, and he was responsible for implementing them. This way of working is really great.

I'm in charge of the official seal, it's so annoying. I have to answer the phone when I get home. Do you have to let me go home to stamp the official seal?
