Chapter 2 Toilet chips?toilet paper!Someone wants to rob my house

After Huo Zhongru finished going to the toilet, he took his family and a few servants and moved to the new home together.

In the Han Dynasty, slaves were men and maidservants were women.

However, they are generally called slaves, and no one will worry too much about this.

It's a pity that the servants brought back by Huo Zhongru are all men.You can work, but you can't cough, that's not the point.The point is, after moving to a new home, you still have to use bamboo to wipe your ass when you go to the toilet.

no way.

That's the way it is in this era.

and!

Not only in the Han Dynasty, but also in the following dynasties, there are records of bamboo slices in the history books.For example, Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, personally cut the toilet chip, and even rubbed the toilet chip on his face to detect whether there are small thorns on the toilet chip.

be honest!

Life in ancient times was not good, it was very hard.

and so!
Huo Guang made up his mind that his path of toilet paper would never be broken just because he moved to a new house.

late at night.

A few servants were tired and fell asleep because of heavy work due to moving.However, Huo Zhongru, who is the owner of the house, and the original owner's mother kept chatting, obviously because they were excited to move into a new home and couldn't sleep.

The two were chatting, and suddenly they quarreled again.

In the cursing, it seems to be mentioning something like an illegitimate child.

Many people think that the status of women in ancient times was low at home, and that wives did not dare to talk back to their husbands.

actually not!

The wife that Ming Media is marrying is the official wife, so she is also the head of the family, and her status is not low.Those who are inferior are concubines, domestic prostitutes, etc., and there was even a saying in ancient times that concubines were inferior to prostitutes.

and so.

It is impossible for a concubine to kill a wife in the novel.

This is like you would buy a pet dog for thousands of dollars, and kill the wife you got back with a gift of 30 yuan?
Certainly not.

After all, there was no such good thing as personal insurance in ancient times.

In addition, regular wives are usually married back from the same family, offending the wife is equivalent to offending the wife's natal line.Under normal circumstances, the wife has a great say.

Huo Guang didn't know how long the original owner's parents had been arguing at night, anyway, he fell asleep very early.

the days after.

It's mundane again, dry and rather boring.

Simply!
He started his own handmade toilet paper directly.

People, born in this world, are to live better.So toilet paper must be produced, otherwise, every time I go to the toilet, I have to use bamboo chips, which is really terrible.

In order to have someone to help him with work, he also argued hard, and got a slave from Huo Zhongru to help him, and named him "Bu San".If there are slaves in the future, he is going to take another "no four", hehe.

With the help of slaves, Huo Guang's toilet paper production plan also began to brew.First of all, let Busan cut down trees, bamboo and grass, bundle them back and put them in the pond for soaking.

Bamboo and trees need to be soaked for at least three months, while grass materials need to be soaked for a shorter time.

enough time.

Take it out and wash it, take off the green shell and bark, and let the material soften.

Finally, put it into the pot for repeated steaming, take it out and rinse it in a clear water pond, and then continue steaming, and so on, so that the fibers can be completely decomposed.

The next step is to put it into a stone mortar and pound it into a muddy surface. After smashing it, put it in water to become a fiber suspension, and pour it into the tools prepared in advance.Filter the pulp with a thin bamboo curtain, and the fibers will stay on the bamboo curtain to form a paper film.

The next step is to put the paper film on a clean and flat board, squeeze it with a heavy object to drain the moisture in the paper, and finally dry it through fire.

This is how the first generation of toilet paper was created.

of course.

When paper was produced in the Western Han Dynasty, its significance is far more than toilet paper.But the problem is that now Huo Guang only wants to use it as toilet paper.

"Woooo, finally I can wipe my ass without bamboo pieces." Huo Guang sighed.

Thinking of the taste of wiping his ass with bamboo slices before, he couldn't help feeling sorry for himself.

Traveling back to ancient times is really too miserable.

of course.

The first-generation toilet paper produced here must be incomparable to the softness of the real toilet paper in the future. It is too rough.

But no matter what.

It is always better than bamboo chips. Without further ado, he asked people to throw away the bamboo chips in the toilet and put the first-generation toilet paper in.

night.

Huo Zhongru, a small official in Pingyang County, is back.

As an adult man, after dinner, the first thing to do is to go to the toilet.

quickly!

Huo Zhongru's voice came from the latrine: "Guang'er, where is the toilet chip, where did you throw it?"

"Why do you want that thing? Didn't I put toilet paper in it!" Huo Guang replied.

"Toilet paper? This is what you said to get a few days ago? What the hell, how can this be useful with bamboo chips!" Huo Zhongru complained.

After Huo Guang heard it, he originally wanted to say, don't use it.

But on second thought.

One more thing is worse than one less thing, and one more thing is worse than one less thing, so let’s not talk about it.

this era.

It's only natural for me to beat my son. Who cares about your family?
Soon.

Huo Zhongru walked out of the toilet happily, and then said: "This toilet paper is quite useful. Guanger, make more, I will take some to the governor of Hedong tomorrow!"

Hey?
Didn't I just complain that there is no bamboo chip to use!

Are you thinking of being a favor now?

Ha ha
"No, that's all. It took me more than three months to produce this." Huo Guang said directly.

Hearing this, Huo Zhongru lost the idea of ​​giving gifts as a favor, and even complained: "Guang'er, this kind of tricks and tricks are really useless. A man should learn the six arts, it is the right way!"

Six arts!

It is divided into Wuli, Liule, Wushe, Wuyu, Liushu, and Jiushu.

pity.

These things gradually disappeared with the emergence of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty.

Huo Guang couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the old man's words, and said, "Okay, when will I find someone to teach me? I also want to learn the six arts, but I can't let me learn the six arts without a teacher, right?"

Upon hearing this.

Huo Zhongru coughed hastily, and then said: "Ahem, well, I have a lot of business today, and I am a little sleepy as a father. Let's talk tomorrow."

In the Han Dynasty, gentlemen learned the six arts, but not everyone could learn them, they were only accessible to the upper class in society.

Huo Zhongru is just a lowly Pingyang official!

In the early years, he worked in Pingyang Mansion as a errand.

So he has been in touch with the Six Arts, but it's just a touch!
Let him talk eloquently and pretend to be okay!

teach?
I really don't have that ability!
As for asking someone to teach, how can a small official in Pingyang have the qualifications to ask for it.The court of the Han Dynasty was a system of three lords and nine ministers, and all knowledge was held by the aristocratic families. Ordinary people did not have this opportunity to get in touch.

Huo Guang watched his father walk into the room, he couldn't help but shook his head, and sighed: "I don't want my father to become a dragon in this life, I still have to rely on myself!"

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The weather is getting colder.

Huo Guang is still making toilet paper with Bu San. The previous generation of toilet paper was too rough. He is trying to improve the softness.

But on this day.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers from the imperial court came to the Huo family's new residence. Every soldier was full of murderous aura, as if they had just experienced a bloody fight on the battlefield.

"What are you doing at my house?"

Although Huo Guang was a little nervous, he still had the courage to ask when he saw the soldiers and horses barging in.

He finished asking.

The group of soldiers suddenly divided into two sides and stood apart. The young man standing in the middle stood in the middle, looked at Huo Guang, and asked, "You said this is your house?"

"Yes, my family!" Huo Guang was a little puzzled, not knowing what the young man in front of him wanted to say.

But he understands a little bit.

People don't fight with officials, it's not that they shouldn't, but they can't.The so-called scholar meets soldier, there is no reason to explain it, but I still understand this truth.So now, it is best not to provoke the officers and soldiers of these imperial courts.

This time!

I saw the young man opposite said slowly: "I said, this is my home!"
