Daqin: Playing Martial Saint at the beginning

Chapter 0114: Lake Pen and Cai Lun Paper, Epoch-Making Inventions!!!

Since ancient book deeds, most of them are compiled with bamboo simple, and those who use it are called paper.

Expensive, simple, and inconvenient.

The so-called writing is dipped in ink with bamboo sticks, or ink pens, and the line and the book deed.

Bamboo skewers are cut from bamboo, while ink pens are glued to bamboo sticks, which is called ink pens.

Qin Shiyou Meng Tian, replaced the bamboo stick with a hollow bamboo pipe, and used lime water to remove grease, and then ‘Naying in the tube’, known as ‘lake pen’.

Since then, the prototype of the brush pen has been laid for later generations, and it has been called “pen ancestor” by later generations. ”

As for the paper, it is the bark, hemp head and cloth of Cai Lun during the Western Han Dynasty.

Fish nets are used as raw materials, pounded into pulp, and then the film is taken and the water is removed.

Just dry, it can become rough yellow paper, which is called ‘Cai Lun paper’ in the world.

Although Cai Lun paper and Tangshi bamboo paper and Ming Shi Xuan paper cannot be compared, it also eliminates the problem of heavy bamboo and expensive cloth.

The car bamboo simplicity of Chang’an Capital Mansion was replaced by ‘Cai Lun paper’, I am afraid that only one book in later generations is thick.

Using ‘Cai Lun paper’ and ‘lake pen’ to handle political affairs is twice the result with half the effort, and there is no harm in everything.

Moreover, this is only a small matter, and the most tedious papermaking takes only three days.

Among them, 400 and a half days are still because the pulp needs to be dried.

If it is urgently needed, it can be baked for a short time to increase the speed at least twice.

Although the paper was urgently needed now, Guan Yu only ordered Crimson Qing to bake a few pieces of yellow paper, and the rest only needed to be dried and put in after drying.

“This… What a treasure! Is it really made from those raw materials just now? ”

“Scarlet, give me two more pieces of paper.”

“General Guan, you know what a great invention this is! I feel like I just want to kneel in front of you now! If my master is still alive, I am afraid that I can die on the spot with excitement when I see this paper! When the old pedants of the Jixia Academy Palace see this paper, they will definitely write a special book and appreciate this object! ”

“As for leaving a name for future generations, it’s even easier!”

“……”

Huangqing, who personally participated in the papermaking, changed from helplessness at the beginning to shock, and now he is holding the paper and muttering to himself.

After Guan Yu opened his mouth to ask her for paper, he put the paper in his heart as if holding a treasure, and excitedly stated to Guan Yu.

After Guan Yu listened, his brows furrowed.

What examples are these girls given!

However, Huang Qing’s words also made him notice one thing.

“Your master is Zou Yan?”

“It’s the family teacher, I was adopted by the family teacher, I have been studying art for ten years, and I can’t get half of the family teacher’s learning, and I know that I am inferior to all the senior brothers, so I came to join General Guan!”

“Since you learned from Zou Yan, this brush will be given to you, and after a while, I will get you some better paper.”

After Guan Yu’s inquiry, he finalized Chuangqing’s identity, so he gave the first brush he made to Chuangqing, which can also be regarded as a gift for Chuangqing.

Zou Yannai died four years ago, but he completely retired from the court of the Yan Kingdom ten years ago, and even the King of Yan did not know Zou Yan’s whereabouts, and the princes and nobles of various countries were nowhere to be found.

Jixia Xuegong only knew that when Zou Yan had just left the Yan Kingdom, he had a debate with the sons at that time, and then there was no news at all.

For such pioneers, Guan Yu has always had a respect in his heart, and it is precisely because of people like Laozi, Confucius, Mozi, and Zou Yan that Chinese culture is so brilliant.

Huang Lao doctrine was valued by the early Han Dynasty, Confucianism was valued by Liu Xiaozhu, Legalism lasted for two thousand years in later generations, and as for the Mo family, miscellaneous family, and yin-yang family, they also appeared in later generations, but they were not valued by the rulers and their reputation was not obvious.

However, the Yin-Yang family has also indirectly promoted the study of the stars, such as the Yuanshi armillary sphere and the Ming Shi Hun Tianjian, which can be seen as the continuation of the Yin-Yang family.

Zou Yan disappeared for ten years, but there are disciples like Huangqing, it is very likely that Zou Yan was adopted during his travels, and this fate alone is worthy of Guan Yu’s pen.

Although the gift is light, the friendship is deep.

It’s just that his kindness is different in Huangqing’s eyes.

“Brush? General Guan, you have also improved the ink pen! Just at a glance, you can see that it is extremely good. ”

Scarlet exclaimed, took the brush, and then put down the paper in his arms with great distress and wrote with the brush.

With this wave, her tears of excitement almost fell.

“The literati are prosperous, the literati are prosperous!”

The previous ink pen is not only easy to remove hair, inconvenient to write, but more importantly, easy to break ink and split ends.

Often writing a sentence needs to be dipped in ink and corrected several times, and finally wrote a very beautiful word, on the bifurcated hair, is a drop of ink falling, or, where there should be ink, suddenly broken, need to be dipped in ink again.

But now, the brush made by Guan Yu can easily write a column of characters without altering it.

Moreover, after changing the control of the force, you can also control the amount of ink to make the words beautiful.

For her disciple of the Yin-Yang family, she really saw the prosperous era of the literati!

Even if she was used to seeing the surprise brought by Guan Yu, she thought that she would definitely be numb this time, but now, she was shocked again!

Crimson Qing really couldn’t imagine how Guan Yu, as a martial general, could come up with these two treasures!

For Chuangqing’s shock, Guan Yu was also unimpressed, after all, this was a relatively common thing for him.

He picked up another brush again, asked for new paper, and directly drew a lot of images according to his impressions.

There are saddles and stirrups, there are curved plows, and there are blast furnaces that are needed to make steel.

The Warring States, and even the early Han Dynasty, did not have a saddle, and with stirrups was also a unilateral stirrup, which was not convenient for riding and shooting at all.

The so-called pants were invented by King Zhao Wuling’s ‘Hufu riding and shooting’, without a saddle and double stirrups, cavalry fights, can only clamp the horse’s belly, and is not suitable for collision.

Even if it is harassment, it is a few arrows shot from a distance.

Therefore, the cavalry at this time, when riding horses, only ordinary horse harness, can not fix the figure, although it is also powerful, but compared with the situation of the heavy cavalry in the Tang Dynasty that broke up when it rushed to kill the infantry, it was much worse.

The reason why Baima Yicong is weaker than the elite school swordsman is because he is good at riding and shooting, and he is strong against foreign races, and the killing of infantry is much weaker, unable to form an absolute crush.

The meaning of cavalry lies in pursuit, interception, blockade and encirclement.

For example, Hou Huo, the champion of the Heavenly Prodigy, went to sickness and conquered the Xiongnu, but also rarely clashed head-on with the Xiongnu, but like opening navigation, always went around the rear of the Xiongnu, burned and looted, and set fire to the Xiongnu’s hometown, causing the Xiongnu to have no food and defeat without a fight.

After all, the grassland is not better than farming, the grain stored at one time is half a year’s food, if it is destroyed, there is no way to farm, you can only hunt by luck.

Satisfying oneself is simple, but satisfying an ethnic group is difficult.

The appearance of saddles and double stirrups can greatly improve the combat ability of cavalry!
