When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 513 Maybe there will be no more Wei Bian Sanjue

The witches soon gathered.

As soon as they arrived, their eyes were attracted by a painting hanging on the screen.

Not to mention him, Xin Huo stood in front of the painting and looked at it for more than an hour. He still wasn't tired of it and was still marveling at it.

"Fahuo, what is this?"

Xin Huo's surname is Fa, so most people now call him Fa Huo.

When Xin Huo heard this, he just smiled and said, "A painting."

"Painting? Mural? Isn't that right? You shouldn't use silk to paint on a screen? But that thing is very expensive, and this one obviously doesn't look like the material of silk."

Someone reached out and wiped the material on the painting, rubbed his hands, and felt very surprised.

"Similar, but not." Xin Huo chuckled and pretended.

"Yes or no?" Many witches were thinking, "Is this the work of some wizard?"

"I recognize the seal above. It's Uncle Bei's private seal."

"What are the four sentences I wrote - Uncle Bei completed this in half a month. If you don't use xx, you can use x."

The blue water and white clouds are dyed with wheat light, and the first volume is used to paint the human world. "

"What is all this?"

"Isn't it written here that xx is silk?"

"Then what is x?"

The crowd started discussing.

"Fa Huo, please tell me." The first person to ask Xin Huo was full of doubts and could only ask Xin Huo for answers.

Although Xinqu didn't come, he definitely didn't believe that Xinqu didn't explain to him.

But Xin Huo shook his head slightly and said, "You two are so smart, can't you understand what the paper means?"

As soon as these words were said, these witches immediately reacted.

When Xinqu created characters, or when he explained how they created characters, he once systematically talked about what shapes and sounds should be used.

"The word that combines silk must be related to silk weaving."

"But why Yongshi?"

"The family name is the foundation of where we are. Could it be that the words on this piece of paper mean that this thing and silk come from the same origin?"

"Hey! That makes sense!"

"It's too thin. Obviously it can't be used to make clothes."

"What kind of clothes are you making? This thing can be inked, which means it can be used to write text. It is light and wide. How many words can it be used to write?"

Another witch beside him became excited: "Since it has the same origin as silk, how much does it cost? Is it cheap? As long as it is cheaper than silk and not more expensive than bamboo slips, then we won't use bamboo slips to write in the future!"

Fahuo glanced at this shaman, whose surname was Qingyang and whose single name was Xing.

It turned out to be a shaman from a subordinate tribe imported from the northeast with the Guzhu clan.

Later, the Guzhu clan was attacked by Xin Qu, and their tribe accepted Xin Qu's conditions and surrendered.

Therefore, the Qingyang family merged in.

This man is young and has a small tribe, but he is very studious and is definitely the most diligent guy among these witches.

Now that he has revealed the reason, you can still see how powerful he is even without him opening his mouth.

Of course, the more powerful one is Xin Qu.

The method of making characters really requires both form and meaning, as well as pronunciation and rhyme. At a glance, you can make guesses.

The word "paper" really represents the origin of paper.

"Dharma fire, what does little friend Qingyang say?"

When Xin Huo was asked again, he did not hide anything and said: "Qu once said that the manufacturing method of paper requires the use of a large amount of rags, so paper and silk are indeed from the same source.

But a further form.

As for the cost, it is slightly cheaper because it can be supplemented with a large amount of bamboo wood.

One-tenth of the cost of the bamboo slips. " "one tenth! "

Everyone on the scene gasped.

Directly save ten times!

"Who taught it?"

"Qu's research on it is now classified as secret. We don't plan to unblock it within twenty years. Don't pry at will."

After Xin Huo finished speaking, these people all rolled their eyes.

A secret that has not been revealed for twenty years!

That’s a pretty high level of confidentiality!

"Then this paper will be given priority to us?" Qingyangxing licked the corner of his mouth and looked at it expectantly.

"Yes." Xin Huo nodded, "But Qu also said that we need to add two directions: the Wenhan Museum and the Museum of Literature and History. At the same time, we will adjust the groups of the Museum of Literature and History and add new businesses."

"Okay, okay! As long as the paper tube is enough!" Qingyangxing rubbed his hands. This painting, text, and signature are simply proof of the performance of paper.

Even if it is only one-tenth of the bamboo slips, if it can be used on a large scale, it will presumably save a lot of consumption on the carrier of text.

So a big project like compiling history books can reduce a lot of costs, which is a perfect treasure.

Xin Huo coughed lightly, summoned them, and explained the usage directions of the Wenhan Pavilion and the Literature and History Pavilion.

Then he continued: "By the way, Qu said that he planned to use paper to compile books and old bamboo slips for us to continue to use. After that, these old bamboo slips need to be gradually transcribed into books and then sent to the future capital for storage.

When the productivity of paper and other products is stabilized, they will be offset and sold. Part of the money owed to you can be accepted on paper. What do you think? "

"Yes! Yes! If every piece of paper is of this quality, I will definitely welcome it with both hands!"

Qingyangxing was overjoyed, and many people around him hesitated. At this moment, Xin Qu walked in.

"Are you all here? Just in time to take a look at the book I just cut."

Xin Qu showed a book of about 16 pages. You could see traces of sewing and perforation on it. When he opened the book, he saw that only a few pages contained text, and the rest were mostly blank.

"Is the paper a little wrinkled?"

"For the convenience of writing, I folded the dotted lines and then ironed them flat." Xin Qu's explanation made everyone suddenly realize.

Irons are actually not a rare item, at least not among the nobility.

Because of Xinqu's requirements for aristocratic etiquette, everyone's clothes need to be taken care of.

Xinqu also made the iron himself, and then it became popular.

"Paper really has the same origin as silk!" The crowd was shocked.

"Why is it written from left to right? Shouldn't it be from top to bottom?"

People who are used to the way bamboo slips are made feel a headache when looking at the words transcribed in Xin Qu's book.

Several others pointed to the symbols above and asked, "What is this? Sentence reading?"

"This is called punctuation. I've improved it a bit." Xin Qu coughed slightly. In fact, it was what he had written seamlessly just now.

got used to.

When I was writing official documents before, I saw that the writing below was mixed, and I had a headache trying to learn how to read sentences.

But it's a pity that sentence reading is simply torture for this group of people who have just started writing articles, but if they don't write a reply to Xin Qu, they will directly scold them.

Are you kidding me? How many documents does he have to revise every day? Bamboo slips are very expensive, but when he reads them, there are no sentences to read, and he has to break up the sentences himself. Is this going to exhaust him to death?

He had already scolded someone several times, and Xin Qu was so angry that he directly demoted him to the first level of nobility. He only stopped after killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

But it is only limited to sentence reading. If you want to use punctuation marks, everyone will just be uncomfortable. After all, the bamboo slips are rolled vertically. Reading from left to right and rolling a little bit makes it easier to read and write.

But 16-karat paper books don’t have so many requirements.

The best choice is to write from left to right so as not to stain your sleeves with ink.

So I can start writing from left to right, and naturally I can completely figure out the punctuation marks.

It’s clear at a glance which paragraphs are dialogues and which sentences represent emotions!

After listening to the explanation, everyone expressed their understanding and said: "This time, it is easier to identify! It is indeed as rigorous as Uncle Bei, who created the characters."

"Okay, forget about the compliments. The key is that there are too many records that can be recorded in this book. The Qin Tian Jian must also give it to them so that they can draw star maps and study celestial phenomena." Xin Qu waved his hand.

"Wait! Qin Tian Jian also gives it?" Now it was the witches' turn to be surprised and hurriedly gathered around, "The celestial phenomena in Qin Tian Jian are fine for a while, so they should be given to our Museum of Literature and History."

"Yes! The Museum of Literature and History needs it. After all, there are too many things to write down! It's difficult to record with just bamboo slips!"
