Chapter 33: How to stop the rise of China

"One day, if such tracks are spread all over the land of the Qin Dynasty, and thousands of mountains and thousands of dangers, how can we stop the rise of China?"

Ying Zheng looked at the shocked craftsmen and said loudly.

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Everyone shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, the grass-roots are brave, I'm very curious about what force is driving it to run continuously?"

A brave craftsman could not hide his curiosity and bowed to Ying Zheng.

"Borrow the power and follow the trend."

Ying Zheng said casually, it was not that he didn't want to say it, but that he didn't understand it even after saying it.

Tell them that Blue Star has magnetic fields, gravity, aerodynamics, and dynamics, they will not understand them at all.

"Your Majesty, what kind of power is this, and what kind of power is it?"

Another craftsman asked a question.

"The forces and momentum that cannot be seen by the naked eye are everywhere and fill the world."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he spread his big hand, grabbed it into the air, and then said, "I have strength and power in my hand."

Seeing His Majesty say this, everyone also imitated His Majesty and grabbed him into the air.

But when I spread my palms, it was still empty, and everyone was still confused and confused.

"I have summoned you to come to promote the continued progress of Chinese civilization."

"I have a few drawings that require you to work together and make them."

"On the day of success, your great names will surely shine with them for thousands of years."

Ying Zheng's voice seemed to be filled with endless magic, shouting at the many craftsmen.

Soon, after Ying Zheng finished speaking, another group of eunuchs, each holding a roll of brocade cloth.

Walking to the high platform, they directly raised the brocade in their hands and slowly unfolded.

On the brocade, there are lifelike and distinctively structured utensils.

There are all kinds of farm tools, complex and exquisite textile machines, and various utensils of strange styles, which are jaw-dropping.

But the craftsmen below were as if they had obtained a treasure, looking at the exquisite drawings on the brocade, and intoxicated.

Ying Zheng smiled. The effect he wanted had been achieved, and the rest was up to them.

I have done everything I can.

Under the guidance of Gongshu Mo, Ying Zheng began to inspect the Armament House.

"Your Majesty, this is a workshop where you secretly develop white paper according to your Majesty's instructions."

Gongshumo pointed at the craftsmen who were working in an orderly manner and introduced to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng saw the busy craftsmen who had clear division of labor and walked slowly over.

Some people are carrying green bamboos to sink to the pond to rot the material.

Green bamboo that has been soaked in the pond for a long time will be taken away and washed with hammers, so that it will be peeled and peeled.

After being shelled and peeled, it will be sent to boiling heat to make pulp until it is broken down into material.

The boiled bamboo material will be poured into the stone mortar by the craftsman again and pounded into powder. Then, the craftsman will use a specially made paper tank supplemented by a fine bamboo curtain to filter the paper fibers in the powder.

Next to the paper trough, there are special craftsmen who scoop water and constantly rinse the powder on the bead curtain, washing away the impurities in it, leaving only the paper fibers.

It was not until the fine bead curtain was covered with a layer of white liquid pulp that the craftsman took the fine bead curtain to the press board that had been prepared and piled up layer after layer.

Only after the pulp on the press plate reaches a certain thickness will the craftsman use a very smooth and flat piece of wood to be pressed heavily.

Not only does it eliminate moisture in the pulp, it also completely shapes the pulp.

Finally, these shaped papers will be pasted on the outer wall of the lane compacted by the acreage bricks. After drying the residual heat of the flame in the lane, they will be carefully uncovered from the outer wall. They will be made of white paper in which the paper is completely formed.

Looking at the finished papers and then the craftsmen folded into a stack of white papers, Ying Zheng showed a gratified smile on his face.

Paper, ink, pen and inkstone are now available in the Qin Dynasty. Waiting for the technology of movable type printing and woodblock printing to be completely mature, the era when the powerful master the scriptures will be completely rewritten.

The era of universal knowledge will come.

Why is the scriptures extremely expensive? They can almost be said to be worthless.

It is because hand-copying is cumbersome, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to popularize on a large scale.

More importantly, these powerful people who have mastered knowledge will cherish it themselves and would rather ruin the knowledge at home than teach it to ordinary people.

"How many pieces of white paper can be produced in a day?"

Ying Zheng asked Gongshumo who had been waiting aside.

"Return to Your Majesty, about a thousand."

Gongshumo was quite proud in his heart. After all, in his opinion, it was not easy to spend 1,000 per day.

"I give you a year to promote it nationwide, and it must reach a daily output of 100,000."

Ying Zheng raised his sword eyebrows and said sternly.

Hundred thousand?

Gong Shumo's heart instantly fell to the bottom, and the pride just now disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Oh my God!

Is Your Majesty kidding?

But it doesn't look like...

"Your Majesty... the papermaking process is the top secret of the empire. Cultivating craftsmen and building workshops all require a lot of manpower, financial resources and time, a one-year period... 

Gong Shumo had a bitter face and was interrupted before he could finish his words.

“It’s too long for a year?”

Ying Zheng glanced over and said coldly.

"No... Your Majesty... It's too hasty for a year, and it's worth 100,000 yuan a day. I'm afraid I can't fulfill your high expectations."

Gongshu Mo simply took it aside and complained.

"In just one year, if I can't do it, I will find someone who can do it to take over you."

Ying Zheng didn't want to hear any reasons or excuses. For him, there were only so many reasons that could or could not be.

Papermaking skills are not difficult, you can do it as long as you know the steps.

It’s nothing more than a matter of practice making perfect. It’s understandable that I didn’t do it well at the beginning.

There are many bamboos in the southern border of the empire, and they are everywhere in the mountains.

artisan?

As long as you follow the steps, ordinary people can learn to do it.

How to keep it confidential, what does it have to do with yourself?

I have to worry about everything myself, and what do these civil and military ministers in the court do?

"Your Majesty, I must do my best to fulfill your trust."

There is no way, and when he was dismissed from office and tried his best to choose one. Gong Shumo had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose to fight for this old bone and try it.

Looking at Gong Shumo bent down, Ying Zheng's mouth raised slightly.

I have worked hard for the Qin Dynasty. Do you ministers want to do a comfortable job?

Is it possible?

From now on, let me work hard!

There are many young people who are unwilling to fight and dare to fight. In the future, the most talented thing that Daqin will lack in the future is talent.

In order for the Chinese nation to embark on the journey of the stars as soon as possible, I can only apologize to your dear friends.

"Let's go!"

"Take me to see how the saddle and stirrups and horseshoes are progressing."

When Ying Zheng came to Wukufang this time, he was most concerned about the saddle and horseshoe.

Once mass production is carried out on a large scale, the consumption of war horses in Daqin can be greatly alleviated.

Moreover, with the saddle and stirrup, the power of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry can greatly enhance its combat effectiveness.

What’s important is that cavalry training will no longer be as difficult as before.

With stirrups and saddles, ordinary people can become qualified cavalry after a little training.
