Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: there is another chapter later

The time for the grand ceremony in Lucheng is set at the end of May, and the location is set at the "Hao Club". The students who have been trained by the two private school ancestors Confucius and Shaozhengmao for more than ten years are gathered like birds, and the battle is clouded for a while. Baidu search to force literature network (the best experience of reading novels without pop-up windows is in [novel])

On the side of Zhao Wuxi, the initiator, threw a large stone into the small pond, splashed countless water splashes and ripples, but ran away and continued to work on his own business. For the invitations of the Marquis of Lu and Sanhuan, he resigned on the grounds that he wanted to guard against raids by robbers, but only made an incredible request-to collect the recorded and written materials of this public "ceremony".

In fact, Wu Xie's real idea is that the so-called etiquette debate is not about who is knowledgeable, who is right and who is wrong, but a dispute over stocks. He didn't want to watch that stinky and long scene that seemed to be citing scriptures, but was actually drooling in empty vernacular. Although this era is full of martial spirit, if the quarrel breaks down, the scholars will still draw their swords and kill...

But if you want to see Jiao Di's martial arts, you might as well go to the thriving Taoqiu lavish place in Zigong!

However, among the officials in Sanyi, there are many people who want to see the lively people. Ran Qiu, a disciple of Confucius, is loyal to his duties and has been officially appointed as the brigade commander. , training with a brigade of spearmen, taking into account the defense of Yuncheng. When the news came, although Ran Qiu wanted to go, he didn't mention it in front of Wu Xie.

On the other hand, Kan Zhi and Gong Xichi were young and couldn't stand their loneliness, so they asked them a task without a shirt. Kan Zhi wanted to cooperate with Feng Rin, continue to befriend Lucheng literati and officials, and at the same time see all kinds of forces clearly. performance in this ceremony. As for Gong Xichi, he had to sit in the Haoshe and record the content and process of this "great ceremony" one by one, and Zhao Wuxi also had a rigid requirement.

"Remember, every word must be written on paper!"

...

It has been more than half a year since Lilinqiu hemp paper was first made, and after that, the craftsmen have been strictly controlled. There are also high walls outside the workshop, so that people can't see the secrets inside.

Under the treatment of food and clothing, the artisans who have been "eat" in the government have nothing to complain about being temporarily cut off from contact with the outside world and their families. As a result, Linqiu's papermaking skills have been continuously improved and simplified, and now it takes half a month as a cycle. Every time, more than a thousand sheets of hemp paper can be made, and naturally, the formula for pulping with grass and wood ash that Xiaogong Shuban accidentally discovered.

However, the limewater pulping formula, which was considered a "failure", was not abandoned. Zhao Wushi let the craftsmen continue to make it, and then sent the "inferior hemp paper" with low toughness to his own temple. Useful. At least go to the toilet later. There's no need to waste cloth anymore... As for toilet chips, I'm sorry, I really can't get used to it.

In the past six months, the Sanyi government office has followed a parallel model of hemp paper and bamboo slips. In addition to the limited materials for making hemp paper, there is still a long way to go to completely replace the flourishing bamboo slips. Historically, this process has gone through five hundred years, and Zhao Wuxi felt that it was under his own intervention. Perhaps it will be shortened to within a hundred years?

In the same way, the porcelain that has just acquired a certain scale only occupies a place in the gap between bronze and lacquer ware. If you want to continue to grow, you must be like the words inscribed on the soup plate: "Gou Rixin, daily new, daily new. ”, must be innovated.

Zhao Wuxi heard that his sister Ji Ying, who was far away in Xinjiang, seemed to be interested in making porcelain. Not to mention taking over the porcelain workshop in Chengxiang, she also made a lot of achievements. Even when Taoqiu was selling it, he pressed the head of Zhendi porcelain, which really made him look at it with admiration, and the porcelain craftsmen, in addition to being hit hard, also began to think about one-to-one competition.

It's even harder for paper to get ahead. The scholar-officials did not respect the new "gongshu paper" as much as Wu Tie imagined. First, like Gongxichi, they were accustomed to using bamboo slips, and secondly, the writing performance of the "gongshu paper" was not very good. So now the embarrassing thing has happened, but the inferior hemp paper with poor quality and low toughness is more popular. But it is not used for writing, so it is self-evident for the purpose of purchasing this item.

During that time, Gong Shuke was a little disappointed, but Ji Qiao, Gong Xichi and others increasingly believed that bamboo slips were irreplaceable.

However, Zhao Wuxi said a few words to them, which made them stunned for a while.

"The development momentum of all things is forward, but the creation of new things does not rise in a straight line. On the contrary, its growth and expansion must go through difficulties and twists and turns, and new things must overcome old things!"

After summarizing their lessons, they realized that hemp paper could not be produced in large quantities due to its limitations, and it was impossible to sell it at a high price in Lucheng, so Zhao Wuxi asked the papermaking workshop to produce new ones as soon as possible, and even more so. Excellent paper.

After several months of research and development, just a few days ago, the company reported that the new paper has been successfully trial-produced.

In ancient times, mulberry bark was woven into clothing, which is similar to hemp, but the cost is lower, because the mulberry tree does not need artificial cultivation, it can be seen everywhere on the mountain, and anyone can cut it down. Its bast is a good papermaking material and contains high fiber texture.

When Wu Xie went to inspect, he found that to use mulberry paper to make paper, it was first degummed in water, and then boiled with the grass ash that was accidentally discovered by the public transport class. The following procedure is the same as hemp paper, except that the green bark of the mulberry tree must be continuously peeled off. . In total, it takes more than 20 days to make, and the cost is lower than that of hemp paper, but the mulberry paper is much better than hemp paper.

The yellowed mulberry paper will not break even if it is gently torn from four directions. The toughness is greatly improved. There is no large-scale impregnation of the ink droplets on the paper. The surface of the paper can be the most basic smooth. Lots of crude fiber residues. And after many tests, he is fully capable of writing, and even Gong Xichi, who is biased towards bamboo slips, can't find any faults.

The bamboo slips are too narrow, and the writing on them is limited by the material, but on the mulberry paper, it is more free and bright, and the words left by Gong Xichi on it have a faint taste of calligraphy. He himself looked happy, and after a few attempts, he began to run to the paper factory every three days, and repeatedly asked Gongshuike for mulberry paper to use.

However, the dull and yellowed skin still made Zhao Wuxi very displeased. How could he see the color like this straw paper after using the perfect white paper in his previous life? So Wu Xie didn't praise the craftsmen like the first paper making last time, but put down a stack of new paper and said calmly:

"It's not bad, but this process is too cumbersome. It takes 20 days to make a thousand sheets of paper, which is inefficient and limited in raw materials. The trial production of mulberry paper has broadened the source of materials for papermaking, but I let you try trees. Bark does not mean that only bark can make high tenacity paper, you can also try other materials, such as bamboo, sandalwood, wheat straw, rice straw, etc..."

In addition, the product is made, but the dissemination is a big problem. Among the 60,000 people in Guangsanyi, 99% of the people do not need mulberry paper for the time being, and it is impossible to make profit by self-produced and self-sold.

As for external sales, the power of habit is powerful, coupled with the speed of information dissemination in this era, if there is no administrative force to enforce it, in another ten years, Lu people will not necessarily buy paper accounts. Therefore, Zhao Wuxi must find an opportunity to promote more, first let the upper class of Lu country know this new writing material, and then slowly promote it.

Therefore, taking advantage of this ceremony, he planned to provide more than 2,000 pieces of mulberry paper to Zongbo Office for free, hoping to take this opportunity to open up the situation.

This is the "strange request" that Zhao Wuxi made to Sanhuan, so the mulberry paper has become "the only designated writing material for the description of the Lucheng ceremony"...

...

At the end of May, the so-called "Great Ceremony" was officially held in Lucheng Haoshe.

Although it is about himself, in this unprecedented ceremony, the little Zongbo Confucius must go through the whole process, such as setting up the venue, such as the preparations for checking the records...

After going around the Haoshe, he said to several disciples who followed closely behind him: "When the first emperor, Bo Qin, was enfeoffed in the State of Lu, King Cheng and Duke Zhou gave him the six tribes of the Yin people, so the people of the State of Lu are like teachers. Most of them are the remnants of Yin and Shang. In order to worship the former kings of Yin and Shang, the various clans of Yin people jointly built the Haoshe, which has become a place for the Chinese people to gather and discuss and slander the blood alliance for hundreds of years. A few years ago, the Chinese were forced to stay here by Yanghu. After forming an alliance, his uncle Sun Zhi was killed here half a year ago, and now he is going to witness this ritual dispute again..."

Zilu had great confidence in Confucius, so he patted his chest and said, "Master is a scholar of Lu, who can speak of the rituals of Xia, but Qi is not enough for levies, and he can also speak of Yin's rituals, but Song is not enough. As for the rituals of Duke Zhou, Master It is even more profound, and I will definitely be able to speak that Shaozheng Mao speechless, and let Ji Shi correct the mistakes of the past!"

Confucius sighed: "If the right thing will be implemented, then that's fine...

Yu Yu and Wenzai, I am from Zhou, this ritual discussion, not only to fight for the name of Zhao justice, but also to revive the foundation of Zhou ritual under Lu Guo! "

After a while, the disciples gradually gathered, Yan Hui, Min Sun, Ran Yong, Ran Geng and other advanced students came one after another, and even Fan Chi, who had returned home, came to hear the news. They surrounded Confucius, as many as a dozen people, and those disciples who were enrolled were far behind, as many as a hundred people.

Confucius seemed extremely calm, but he was still a little nervous. After all, it was a matter of etiquette, the truth he pursued throughout his life, and his hard-won career. So he seemingly inadvertently walked over to the busy disciple Gong Xichi, pointed to the thing in his hand and said, "Zihua, is this the mulberry paper?"

"It's ~www.readwn.com~ Master, do you want to try it?"

It turned out that Gong Xichi was bringing a few assistants who had been sent to him by Zhao Wuxi, holding thick yellow mulberry paper and fine pine smoke ink and placing them on the desk of the writing official.

Confucius was very grateful for Zhao Wuxi's proposal of a great gift, because at that time, he was a little weak under the pressure of Ji's and his uncles, and Meng's support was not strong enough. Therefore, in the eyes of Confucius, it was Wu Xie who helped them. When it comes to etiquette, even though Shaozhengmao is known as erudite, how can he be a Confucian opponent? What's more, in this way, the Confucian thought can be widely publicized and let the people of the country know about it.

But Confucius, who is not very interested in new things, has doubts about the "paper" that Zhao Wuxi has repeatedly asked to use. They will be recorded by historians and writers, and then hidden in the treasury and passed on to future generations, but can paper carry such a heavy responsibility?

At this moment, he took over a stack of new papers presented by Gong Xichi, feeling a little worried. (To be continued.) WWW.GEILIWX.COM happy reading every day
