Chapter 6 Papermaking

Swallow House.

Guest room.

Lord Wang, the squire of the military department, stood in front of Yue'er and said, "Where did your young lady go yesterday?" This person was wearing a black robe, with a burly figure, a rich face, a few wisps of white between his temples, a murderous aura between his eyebrows, his eyes were full of oppression, and he spoke in a high-minded tone.

Yue'er said in a trembling voice: "If you go back to the adult, the slave and maid don't know." ”

Wang Shilang snorted coldly and said, "You don't know, someone saw you and Yin Ruiji leave the Swallow Tower together, would you know?"

Yue'er knelt down with a plop and stammered: "Slave, slave doesn't dare to say ......"

Wang Shilang pulled out his sword with a "choking" sound, put it on her neck, and said: "Do you think that with Yin Ruiji's protection, Wang will not kill you? If you don't say it, believe it or not, Wang will let your's head fall to the ground now." If you are obedient, you will naturally benefit from it. ”

Yue'er was frightened and said, "Yes, yes." Miss went to Ruifeng Tea House yesterday. ”

Wang Shilang said: "What are you doing in Ruifeng Teahouse?"

Yue'er said: "Go to meet Yang Gongzi, the owner of the teahouse." ”

"Choking".

The sword is unsheathed.

Wang Shilang said angrily: "This woman really doesn't know what to do, she doesn't accept Wang's gift money, but goes to meet the owner of a teahouse, Wang wants to see who this surname Yang is?"

He threw down a silver ticket and said, "You monitor Yin Ruiji's every move for me, and if there is a situation to report to me, if you do it well, your benefits are indispensable." ”

Yue'er said: "Yue'er knows. ”

Night.

Three figures climbed over the courtyard wall, their bodies light and vigorous, and they landed in the courtyard like raccoon cats, heading straight for the main house.

One of them punctured the window paper and put a bamboo pipe inside.

A puff of smoke blew into the house.

"Let's go. ”

The three of them looked at each other, each took out the potion and sprinkled it on the face towel, covered his face, picked the latch of the door, rushed into the house, and stepped in front of the bed in two steps.

One of the people lifted the quilt and exclaimed, "Not good!"

Inside the quilt was a long pillow, not what they had imagined it to be.

"Who are you?" Yang Ming jumped down from the roof beam, blocking the door, looking at them with cold eyes.

"Hands-on. ”

The three of them glanced at each other and immediately shot at Yang Ming. One of them took out a short axe from behind his waist and threw it with a flick, and the short axe was like a turntable, whistling towards Yang Ming's chest.

The other two bandits drew a sword and a sword, and rushed towards Yang Ming from the left and right.

Yang Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a long sword appeared in his hand. The sword reached forward and plunged into the middle of the axe, and with a swing of his hand, the axe slashed through an arc of paper, slashing at the bandit coming from the right side, and plunging into his chest.

"Poof. ”

The sound of entering the flesh sounded.

The man fell to the ground with a "bang".

The bandit on the left is holding a sharp-edged knife with a cold glow on the tip of the knife.

He slashed at Yang Ming's neck.

Yang Ming leaned forward with his left hand, and there was already a short blade in his hand, holding the scimitar, and there was a "dang" sound.

With a swing of the long sword in his right hand, it circled the bandit's neck.

When the axe-wielding robber saw his two companions killed in the blink of an eye, he was terrified and threw himself at the window.

"I want to run. ”

The flick of the short sword in Yang Ming's left hand pierced the person's neck like a flying knife.

These three bandits can only be regarded as ordinary masters, and they are not vulnerable in front of him at all.

Although the bandits were killed, Yang Ming frowned and said puzzledly: "Since I came to this world, I haven't taken the initiative to provoke anyone, who is going to be my enemy?"

After pondering for a moment, I couldn't figure it out.

Since you can't figure it out, let others help you think about it.

Yang Ming put away the bodies of the three and threw them at the gate of Dali Temple.

Soon, the people of Dali Temple showed the body outside the door.

"Where did the corpse come from?" said Yu Chi Zhenjin.

"Back to my lord, the corpses of these three clubs were thrown at the door. A subordinate said.

"Is this a provocation to the Division?" said Yu Chi Zhenjin angrily.

"Check it out for me. ”

"Yes. ”

Dali Temple is always in charge of the world's laws, and they have always been the only ones who have bullied others, but now they are being bullied to the head, how can they bear it? Moreover, Chi Zhenjin, who is in charge of Dali Temple, is not a broad-minded person.

At this time, Yang Ming had already returned home, thinking to himself, although I don't know who is going to deal with me, it's okay to make some trouble for him.

The Soldier's Mansion.

Wang Shilang said: "Haven't you heard from them yet?"

One of his henchmen said: "My lord, since the three of them left last night, there has been no news, I'm afraid there was some accident." In addition, the subordinates heard some rumors today, and the people from Dali Temple were checking who was in the city. It seems like...... They seem to be checking the three of Ah Hu. ”

Wang Shilang slapped the table and scolded angrily: "How could they provoke the three fools of Dali Temple." ”

The squire of the military department is the second-in-command of the military department, from the third-rank official position.

Dali Siqing is a third-grade official, and he is in charge of a qiē trial and punishment, even if the secretary of the military department sees Wei Chi Zhenjin, he has to admit it, not to mention that he is the squire of the military department.

The subordinate asked, "What about ...... Do you still want to arrest Yang Ming from Ruifeng Teahouse?"

Wang Shilang said: "Slow down for a while, count him lucky, and wait for the limelight to pass before you do it." ”

"Yes. ”

Qingxin Tea House.

Wonjin's heart was uneasy.

When he woke up this morning, he found that a layer of fine scales had grown on the skin of his arm, and the scales were dark green, which was very terrifying.

"How so, could it be that I have a rare terminal illness. Yuan Zhen looked through the medical books at home, but he couldn't find any cases with similar symptoms.

"Young owner, Yang Ming came to visit. "The descendants of the Yuan Mansion came to report.

Yuan Zhen said impatiently: "Let him go." I am not feeling well today and refuse to see guests. ”

"Yes, young owner. ”

After a while, the next person came to report again.

"Young owner, someone sent a letter for you. ”

Yuan Zhen staggered the door and said, "Give me the letter." ”

"Yes. ”

The servant handed the letter through the crack in the door.

Closing the door, Yuan Zhen opened the letter, and after reading it, his face couldn't help but change.

……

"It seems that Yuan Zhen has been poisoned by Huo Yi's Gu, and now most of them are beginning to mutate, otherwise he would not have turned away from the guests. On the way back, Yang Ming was thinking in his heart, everything was in his expectation. At the beginning, Huo Yi pretended to be a tea merchant from Dongtu to learn the method of roasting Peacock Tongue Tea, but he didn't have a good heart, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, what he wanted was not the method of roasting Peacock Tongue Tea, but the channel of offering tea to Ouchi, and only by mastering this channel could they implement their own conspiracy.

On the day he met Wonjin, Huo Yi poisoned his tea and started the plan.

Not long after arriving home, a eunuch from the palace came to the door and said in a sharp voice: "At the mouth of the queen's mother, Yang Ming was summoned to the palace for an audience." ”

"The grass people obey the order, and the father-in-law leads the way. Yang Ming quietly stuffed a silver ingot.

The eunuch weighed it in his hand and said with a smile: "Young Master Yang is polite, come with the Sprinkle family." ”

After a pillar of incense, the two came to the outside of the East Palace.

The eunuch said: "The queen mother is inside, Yang Gongzi please." ”

"Father-in-law Xie. ”

Yang Ming thanked him, tidied up his clothes and walked into the hall, and said, "Yang Ming, a grass people, has seen Empress Wu. ”

"No need to be polite, get up. ”

Wu Zetian sat in the hall in a phoenix suit, waved his hand, asked the palace maids on both sides to retreat, and then said, "Do you know what the palace called you here today?"

Although there is a slight difference in the tone of the two voices, if you listen carefully, you can still hear that the vocal lines of the two voices are exactly the same.

Yang Ming said: "The grass people don't know. ”

"You don't know?" Wu Zetian asked rhetorically, and said, "Raise your head and let me see." ”

"Yes. ”

Yang Ming raised his head and looked at Wu Zetian.

Lines of sight intersect.

Wu Zetian said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Yang Ming couldn't help but be excellent in poetry and strategy, and he was also a talent." ”

Yang Ming said: "The queen praised it falsely. ”

"With your intelligence, you must have guessed that it was Hongu who spoke to you at the Korean Lady's Mansion yesterday. "Wu Zetian is also a human spirit, and after returning to the palace, after thinking about it, there are some clues.

Yang Ming hurriedly said: "The grass people did have some doubts at that time, but they didn't dare to make up their minds yet. However, what the grass people say is sincere, and there is no false flattery. ”

Wu Zetian said: "You don't have to worry, the truth and falsehood can still be heard in this palace." Otherwise, this palace will not summon you to the palace today. ”

Yang Ming said: "The mother is wise. ”

Wu Zetian said: "At the beginning of this dynasty, the Hanlin Academy was established to serve talented and learned people. Yang Qing's poems are the best in the world, how about this palace recruit you into the Hanlin Academy?"

Yang Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "This ...... In fact, what grass people are best at is not poetry and strategy, but some novel tools. If the mother wants to reward an official and a half-job, it is better to arrange for a job in the Ministry of Labor. ”

Hanlin Academy is the place where the most talented people in the world gather, and he knows how much level Yang Ming has. Although he has three hundred Tang poems in his stomach, he has been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, and sooner or later he will show his feet. However, in the Ministry of Industry, he can completely take out several advanced technologies that he has brought, and it will not be a problem to suppress these ancient people.

Wu Zetian said: "Ministry of Industry, what can you do when you go to the Ministry of Industry?"

Yang Ming pondered for a while, and said: "The grass people have loved to observe and study all kinds of utensils since they were children, and when they practiced calligraphy, the rice paper and hard yellow paper I use now have many shortcomings in the process, and it took several years to improve it and make a kind of white paper." This kind of white paper is more delicate and strong than the current hard yellow paper, and the material is simple, saving several times the cost. ”

Huaxia is the earliest country of Ming papermaking, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty Cai Lun knew Cai Hou paper, at that time the paper was very rough, the raw materials were mostly hemp and silk wool. Since then, each dynasty has studied the art of papermaking, and the craft of papermaking has advanced in each dynasty. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, rice paper was produced, the Sui Dynasty used dyed yellow paper, and the Tang Dynasty used hard yellow paper. After that, it continued to progress, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, papermaking technology has been very mature, and white paper appeared.

Under the conditions of the Tang Dynasty, it was not much difficult to make a blank piece of paper.

Wu Zetian said: "Is this true?"

Yang Ming said: "The grass people will never dare to joke about this kind of thing, at most half a month, Yang will definitely be able to make a blank paper, otherwise, the grass people will come to see it." After a pause, he said: "What Niangniang lacks most now is merit, if it is made of white paper, it will be a political cause that can benefit future generations, benefit the country and the people, and leave a name in history." ”

The last sentence immediately moved Wu Zetian, made her make up her mind, and said: "Okay, I will appoint you as the papermaking supervisor of the Ministry of Industry, and the official position is the same as that of the Ministry of Industry, and you will be fully responsible for papermaking." ”
