Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

February and March are bound to be busy times.

Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and Guan Yu frequently attacked and raided bandit camps of all sizes within the territory.

In the case of sand table simulation, the comfort zone of the bandits in the four counties of Jingzhou can be said to be clearly visible.

After defeating the camp, the three generals imitated Jiangdong's method of conquering mountains and catching strong men, and trained the bandits to wear away their banditry before being incorporated into the team so that they could become new recruits.

The person who contributed the most in this process was Huang Zhong.

After seeing his achievements in the light curtain, the old general's mind became completely active: Why wait until Dingjun Mountain in a few years?

Hurry up and have your own song, there will definitely be a big battle next year at the latest!

Help the Lord fair Yizhou and even the world, and eventually conquer the foreign races! Now Huang Zhong regrets the wasted time in Jingzhou.

The old general's heart was already agitated by Zhang Fei's provocation: Martial Temple!

Huang Zhong's prediction of war was not without purpose.

In March, Zhou Gongjin, who was stationed in Jiangling City on the other side of the river, invited Liu Bei to come to Yixi.

But Liu Bei is not that stupid. Both the revelation of the light screen and Lu Su's previous warning made it clear to everyone:

Zhou Gongjin is really capable of capturing Liu Bei on the spot!

Moreover, Zhou Yu was still Sun Ce's Tuogu minister before his death. If he got anxious and directly attacked Liu Bei, what could Sun Quan say?

It was unwise to go to the banquet alone, so in the end the two parties chose Jiang Xin and Bian Zhou.

"Zhou Gongjin invited us to attack Yizhou together."

This is the news Liu Bei brought back.

"If a few years after the light curtain was revealed, Queen Sun invited us to attack Yizhou, it might be suspected of destroying Guo in a false way." Kong Ming shook his head:

"Then Zhou Gongjin's invitation this time is really with ulterior motives."

The generals judged the same way: "If we agree to this invitation, we will definitely die in Yizhou!"

I will never accept this invitation!

Yizhou, you still have to fight it yourself!

"I refused on the spot." Liu Bei recalled the brief meeting and frowned:

"Zhou Gongjin hid in the cabin the whole time and did not show anyone. He only sent someone from across the boat to shout. He may be terminally ill."

Everyone lamented that a generation of talents finally died on the bed, which was quite frustrating no matter how you looked at it.

"Even so, he still helped Sun Quan plot Yizhou!" When Zhang Fei talked about it, Zhou Yu also expressed regret:

"For such a loyal person, my uncle's family is really filled with smoke from the ancestral graves."

Everyone nodded: The light curtain said that Xiaoyaojin had not passed long, which was really impressive.

Zhou Gongjin worked hard to raise 100,000 soldiers for Jiangdong, but in exchange, he actually made Zhang Babai famous.

I don’t know what Zhou Gongjin would have thought when he saw such a scene in the underworld.

After the generals dispersed, it was customary for Zhuge Liang to give Liu Bei time to start a small cooking session.

"If you want to go to Yizhou, you must go through Yufu, and if you want to cross Yufu, you must first pass through Nanjun."

Kong Ming pointed on the map and pulled out a clear and easy-to-understand route.

"But now Zhou Gongjin has taken over Nanjun and will not leave, so..." Liu Bei murmured, and then he was overjoyed:

"Did the military advisor have an idea?"

Kong Ming smiled and nodded, and then he said without hesitation:

"I also asked my lord to write a letter and send it to Marquis Sun. In the letter, he said that the governor was ill and could no longer handle affairs. He was worried that Cao Jun would take advantage of Nanjun."

"The two said that Jiangling and the police are at loggerheads, and hope to take over Jiangling city defense as soon as possible."

"Three people said that they hope that the governor will concentrate on recovering from his injuries first. When Soochow invades Hefei to seize Shouchun and control the Huaihe River and force Xudu, we are willing to send troops to suppress Xiangfan in response."

Liu Bei understood immediately: "I'll write it right now!"

But then he asked doubtfully: "Will Marquis Sun believe it?"

Kong Ming smiled and said: "Sun Hou certainly doesn't believe in my lord."

"But Marquis Sun doesn't completely believe in the Governor."

…………

Kong Ming became even busier in April. Not only did he have to allocate materials and calculate taxes, but this year he was also responsible for using Tiangong Kaiwu's method of growing rice to teach fellow villagers how to farm well.

"Husband, what do you think of these papers?"

Huang Yueying held a stack of papers, all of different shapes and sizes, and held them over to show Zhuge Liang.

Under the shade of the trees at the edge of the field, Kong Ming built a shed here to work with Jiang Wan while taking care of the rice seeds in the field.

Although he could borrow it from others, Kong Ming was still worried.

The look on Jiang Wan's side next to Kong Ming could not be more sad than the death of her heart:

Not only is the comfortable office environment gone, but I have done more work in the past two months than I did in the past six months!

Seeing Huang Yueying carrying the new trial paper from the papermaking workshop, he also raised his head and was very curious.

During this period of time, the papermaking workshop has been producing a lot of new paper one after another. Although it has various shortcomings, overall paper is much more convenient than bamboo slips and wooden slips.

Kong Ming was also happy to take it and saw the paper on the top at a glance:

The thickness of the paper is uniform, the texture is fine and even has a little gloss. After rubbing it, it feels shiny but also has a bit of a scratchy feel.

"My wife's paper-making skills are superb!" Kong Ming praised.

Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word. , motioning Kong Ming to look below.

Kong Ming took away the piece of Zuo Bo paper and put it at the bottom of his koan under Jiang Wan's expectant gaze, obviously hiding it privately.

There is a piece of paper underneath that is whiter, softer and more flexible. Based on his first impression, Kong Ming made a conclusion: it is even better than Zuo Bo paper!

Papermaker Kong Ming also knew that he would visit the papermaking workshop every few days, so he understood immediately:

"Ma'am, have you found a replacement for Sangpi?"

Light Screen just said that the most important thing about Zuo Bo Zhi is mulberry bark. The rest of the formula needs to be tried slowly, but fortunately it is not very difficult.

Another problem is that the cost of mulberry is high and difficult to solve.

Mulberry trees can raise silkworms and mulberry bark can be used as medicine, which means that the cost of papermaking has doubled.

But fortunately, Madam seems to have solved the problem? Kong Ming looked at Huang Yueying expectantly.

"Husband, have you heard of the red mulberry tree?"

"Red mulberry?" Kong Ming walked for two steps: "But the walnut tree?"

"The fruit of the mulberry tree is dark purple, while the fruit of the walnut tree is red, and the leaves of the walnut tree can also be used to raise silkworms, but the silkworms raised on the walnut tree have poor silk, so there are walnut trees in the north of Jingzhou to eat their fruits."

"My husband is knowledgeable." Huang Yueying praised: "The bark of the walnut tree is used to make paper, and the price is only 30% of Zuo Bo's paper."

Thirty percent!

"That's not all!"

Huang Yueying took out another newly bound book from her sleeve, with "Six Tao" written in seal script on the cover.

Taking it over and flipping through two pages, Kong Ming nodded with satisfaction:

"Printing is really convenient!"

As long as you think about the printing technique mentioned by the light curtain, it is indeed not difficult. Kong Ming understood it that night.

It's like enlarging the seal in your hand dozens of times, and the fonts on it are also dozens of times larger. Wouldn't it be possible to print a page of text by just pressing the ink on the paper?

And printing can not only use paper, Kong Ming also thought of it.

It can be used for government decrees issued by the lord, account books commonly used by merchants, and even farming.

In this case, the heavenly creations in the light curtain should also be printed using printing.

"Madam, this move will benefit the common people!" Kong Ming spoke highly of it.

After the papermaking and printing techniques were perfected by Madam, wooden tablets and bamboo slips could be completely abandoned for carrying written documents.

The author has something to say in the next chapter.
