Volume 2: Qingzhou Zhipeng Section 42: Mid-Autumn Festival Moon

"Face Saint"

Both Zhang Jin and Pang Tong himself were obviously stunned by Cai Ji's decision. Especially Pang Tong, when he thought of seeing the Son of Heaven at the end of the year, he didn't know what to do. Perhaps the Son of Heaven is just a child who occupies the dragon throne in the eyes of many princes, but in the eyes of the scholars of Jingzhou, the Son of Heaven is still a sacred and inviolable existence. So even if Cai Ji ordered to go out now, Pang Tong would not frown. But...... See the Son of Heaven......

"My lord, I can't take on this great responsibility." Pang Tong excused himself.

"It's just that it's just holding a plate behind the house, and it's not a big responsibility. Speaking of which, when the government received the edict from the Son of Heaven, it was surprised for a while. But thinking that the Son of Heaven is also a human being, Shiyuan doesn't have to be too nervous. Cai Ji waved his hand and persuaded him. Of course, what she said was not entirely to appease Pang Tong. It should be known that the edict of the Han Emperor was delivered to Huang County three days ago. Counting from his fingers, this edict should have been written on Liu Xie's departure from Luoyang, or on the way to Xuchang. For Liu Xie to be so anxious to meet, Cai Ji himself was indeed somewhat surprised. But it can't be said that Liu Xie's move was abrupt, after all, he sent 500 cavalry to rescue the driver before, and it was understandable for the Son of Heaven to meet him after he escaped. It's just that Cai Ji always feels that this matter is not simple. Bringing Pang Tong is somewhat of a body.

At this time, Pang Tong didn't know the deep meaning of Cai Ji's arrangement, but he still stubbornly excused himself and said, "Please take back your order." The face of the instrument is not suitable for the face saint. ”

Cai Ji saw Pang Tong's entangled appearance, and knew that this was a hurdle for him, and only by crossing this hurdle could Pang Tong really stand alone, rather than being a shadow strategist for others. In addition, Pang Tong is still young and inexperienced, and the people and things he could contact before were limited to Jing and Yangzhou. This made Pang Tong's strategic vision too narrow, and he had no actual combat experience in tactics. Therefore, in Cai Ji's view, Pang Tong's current task is not to rush to offer advice or continue to study, but to broaden his horizons and accumulate experience. When it comes to broadening your horizons, what better place to do it than Xu Du at this moment? The Son of Heaven, Cao Cao, Xun's uncle and nephew, Xiahou, and many heroes and celebrities gathered here. There is no doubt that going south this time will be a rare experience for Pang Tong.

With this thought, Cai Ji said to Pang Tong earnestly, "Shi Yuan is seven feet five inches long, with good facial features, and elegant and elegant, how can he not face a saint with such an appearance?" ”

"Shi Yuan, Cai Fujun is right, you are a hundred times better than those flashy people. How can I not face the saint? Zhang Jin on the side also echoed.

Cai Ji couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Zhang Jin helping to persuade Pang Tong, "Zhang Langjun seems to be very familiar with Shiyuan?" ”

"Don't hide it from the prince, when I was studying in Jingzhou in my early years, I worshiped under the Pound De Gongmen." Zhang Jin replied.

Cai Ji listened to Zhang Jin's explanation, and then thought of the inextricable relationship between Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Pang Tong, Zhuge and others in history, and had to admit that the world of the Eastern Han Dynasty people was really not ordinarily small. However, sighing and sighing, persuading Pang Tong to let go of his psychological baggage is the top priority. So, Cai Ji followed Zhang Jin's words and persuaded Pang Tong, "Shiyuan, even Zhang Langjun said so. Thou hast something to worry about. ”

Seeing this, Pang Tong and Zhang Jin were optimistic, and thought that it would be hypocritical to continue to shirk. So he immediately gritted his teeth and agreed, "Oh." After the reunification, they will strictly practice etiquette and righteousness, and they will never lose the face of the lord. ”

"This Mansion Shiyuan will definitely be able to make a good impression in front of the Son of Heaven this time." After Cai Ji encouraged Pang Tongfan, he looked up at the full moon in the night sky, and then invited the two, "The hour is not early. Let's go with the house to worship the moon. ”

Although they went to worship the moon together, it was Cai Ji, Lily of the Valley and other young women who really presided over and participated in the ceremony. As for the men present, they just stood by and watched. As the lily of the valley announced the "sacrifice to the moon", Cai Ji, who was the main sacrifice, immediately stepped forward and knelt in front of the incense case, and the deacon ordered Hu Jiu to help him put incense, toast, read the blessing, burn the blessing, and divide the gloss.

As the so-called sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and shy flowers, although the people present did not know that there was an allusion to the "sable cicada worshipping the moon" in the era they lived in. But at this moment, I saw a group of young girls with bright eyes and bright teeth worshipping under the moon, and everyone secretly admired their flower and moon appearance in their hearts. Of course, because of Cai Ji's identity, no one dares to say such frivolous words.

Let's say that after Cai Ji finished the moon sacrifice, he got up and walked to the front of the strips behind him. And the lily of the valley, who had been prepared for a long time, slumped a white line on top of the strip. Seeing this, everyone on the side stepped forward to watch curiously. Because this step is not within the scope of the moon festival.

"Cai Fujun, isn't this paper?" Xu Yue stroked the smooth Bai Lian and exclaimed.

"The Gang River has good eyesight. This is indeed paper, the Huangxian cotton paper made by Ma Ju and Ling Huyong, famous craftsmen in Donglai. Cai Ji nodded happily.

Sailuban and Linghu Yong on the side listened to Cai Ji commending him as a famous craftsman in public, and immediately puffed up their chests proudly. They can't get such honor, such respect, anywhere else. Only Cai Ji, only Donglai County, will regard craftsmen from poor backgrounds as talents. There is a way to think of the source of drinking water, and when Sailuban accepted the appreciative eyes of everyone, he did not forget to humbly and frankly say, "The prince of the house has won the award." The reason why we were able to make such white cotton paper was all due to the guidance of the king. ”

"Oh? Cai Fujun still knows how to make paper? Zhang Jin asked curiously.

"It's a pity that the paper we use is too crude to be used for copywriting. Therefore, the craftsmen used the bark of mulberry trees, the bark of the tree and hay as materials to make paper. I never thought that it would work very well after trying it. Cai Ji said casually.

Don't look at Cai Ji's words lightly at this time. But in fact, the process of making cotton paper is quite complicated. You need to cut the bark into the same length, bundle it and bury it in water for a week, wait until the impurities and epidermis on the bark are soaked thoroughly, and then put it on the large iron pot with lime, and use mud to paste the iron pot around it tightly so that it can not leak. After steaming for three or four days, wash off the lime after a cool pot, dry it and alkali, and reload it into a large iron pot for a second steaming for about a week. After extinguishing the fire, these raw materials are placed in the river, stepped on, washed and washed so that they do not leave any impurities, and then they are pounded into mud with a stone cone and placed in the utensils and trampled on with their feet. The process of making pulp from hay is the same as above. Then put the two raw materials into the half-cylinder in two times according to a certain proportion and procedure, and step on it with both feet into a "paste", which is the pulp. The pulp is mixed in the clear water of the pit, and finally according to the original papermaking process of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it can be made into this snow-white cotton paper in front of you.

The above methods of processing pulp are mainly based on what Cai Ji saw and heard when he visited handmade paper zuΓ² in his later generations, and was perfected by Tong GuΓ² Sailuban and others. Therefore, Sailuban and others very much agree with Cai Ji's concealment of the method of making paper zuΓ², because cotton paper has become another Donglai fist product after folding fans, maza, and shochu. Of course, Cai Ji also took a lot of patent fees.

In order to show the good texture of the cotton paper, Cai Ji wrote on the cotton paper in public, "The sky will be tonight and the moon, and it will be washed over and over again." The summer retreats and the sky is clear, and the autumn is clear. The stars make brilliance, and the wind dews and crystalline. can change the world, it is Yujing. ”

This song by Liu Yuxi's "Playing with the Moon on the Fifteenth Night of August" has beautiful rhetoric and is very appropriate for the occasion. Although Cai Ji's calligraphy is weak, with the delicate white cotton paper, he can still see the praise of everyone around him. As for Xu Yue, he couldn't put it down, picked up the cotton paper and looked at it carefully, "It's not melted, it's not melted at all." It's really ingenious."

"If Gonghe likes cotton paper, the government can order a craftsman to send the paper to the house for books." Cai Ji generously promised.

"That's embarrassing. It's too expensive to write a book with a ruler. Xu Yue reluctantly put the paper back on the table. In his opinion, since this cotton paper is as delicate as the pixels and as white as the pixels, it will naturally not be cheaper than plain. It's okay to write some important copywriting on cotton paper like this, but it would be too extravagant to write a book.

"Paper is paper, plain is plain. If you don't write a book on paper, do you still use it to tailor clothes? Cai Ji smiled and asked rhetorically, then immediately put his hands on his sleeves and said loudly, "Gonghe don't want to resign." The reason why we want to improve paper is to make books thinner and lighter, so that more people can read them. ”

More people read the book, and Cai Ji's declaration undoubtedly shook many people present. And it means different things to different people. Just as Xu Yue felt that Cai Ji's intoxication at a young age was very remarkable. In the eyes of Han scholars such as Guo Jia and Pang Tong, more people can read the book, which means that more people will challenge the status of the family. It is important to know that the privileges held by the family have been fighting against the imperial power for thousands of years, in addition to the large amount of land and resources that the family holds, it is also related to the accumulation of the family's thick knowledge. Imagine the era when even the Analects could be placed on half a shelf, and without a solid family background, how could you read a lot of books. But when the Analects became a thin pamphlet, everything changed. People can transport books farther away, they can borrow from each other, and they can no longer spend a lot of money on a single book. More importantly, there will be more people who have mastered knowledge, and more talents will be produced in the poor.

Cai Ji, who came from later generations, certainly knows better than Guo Jia and others what kind of impact the massive application of paper will have on this era. And improving the paper is only the first step, Cai Ji is planning to let Sailuban and others further develop movable type printing. In this way, although it is not up to the kind of Cheng DΓΉ that later generations used to sell waste paper after reading books, at least advanced systems such as the imperial examination system, libraries, and so on can become a reality. At that time, cultural governance and martial arts, two-pronged, Cai Ji will not believe that he will not be able to shake the wheel of history.

And just when everyone was thinking about the small piece of cotton paper in front of them, Ling Hujiu, who was quite bored on the side, suddenly interjected, "Lord, can you put the sky lantern without skipping words."

Linghu Yongjian's granddaughter was so big and small in front of a group of celebrities, and hurriedly glared at her, "presumptuous"

But Cai Ji didn't care about it. I saw her head turned around and said, "I almost forgot that there was such a thing." Ah Jiu go and get the sky lantern. ”

After hearing what Cai Ji said, Linghu Jiu naughtily stuck out his tongue at his grandfather, and then happily took out a cylindrical white lantern. Everyone looked at it, and the lantern was made of bamboo grate, and the surface was pasted with the cotton paper used for writing just now. It doesn't look exquisite, but in view of the use of so much cotton paper, it still makes Xu Yue and the others frown, and sigh in their hearts - waste.

However, Ling Hu Jiu completely ignored the strange eyes of the people around him, and happily held the lantern and beckoned to Lily of the Valley, "Sister Lily of the Valley, help light the lamp." ”

Although Lily of the Valley is not as taboo-free as Linghu Jiu, she is a child after all. After hesitating for a moment, she ran forward and lit the tarpaulin on the top stand of the lantern with a fire breaker. Seeing that the gentle firelight brought a trace of vitality to the lantern, and Ling Hu Jiu suddenly put his hand down after seeing the lampshade gradually swelling, and suddenly the lantern rose in front of everyone like a bright moon.

"Fly...... It's flying," Zhang Jin exclaimed, pointing to the lantern floating into the sky.

But just when everyone was attracted by this sky lantern, Pang Tong muttered in a low voice, "Kong Ming Lantern ......"

Cai Ji, who was sharp-eared, heard Pang Tong mention Zhuge Liang, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Shiyuan has seen this lamp before?" ”

"When I was in Jingzhou, my friend Zhuge Kongming also made this lamp. Therefore, we all call it Kong Ming lantern. Pang Tong replied.

"Zhuge Kongming, is he also a disciple of Lumen?" Cai Ji asked knowingly.

"Yes. Kong Ming is my junior brother, the same age as Fu Jun, eight feet long, good for "Liang's Father's Yin", with the talent of Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Pang Tong tried his best to recommend Cai Ji's friend. However, because he himself is only eighteen years old, he is not famous and has not shown the corresponding talent. More importantly, in the eyes of everyone, Pang Tong "has the talent of Guan Zhong and Le Yi" on the premise of Cai Ji, who has a "female middle school pipe", which is somewhat of an axe. Therefore, there are really few people who take Pang Tong's words seriously.

Cai Ji from later generations is of course very clear that Zhuge Liang does have the "talent of Guan Zhong". Although Zhuge Liang is only sixteen years old now, most of them have not accumulated Cheng DΓΉ who writes Longzhong, but there are talents who are not reserved, and that is a fool. Cai Ji at this moment hurriedly asked Pang Tong, "Where is Senior Brother Ru now?" ”

"Kong Ming is still studying in Jingzhou." When Pang Tong said this, he hurriedly added, "I can repair a letter and invite him to come to Donglai." ”

"If that's the case, then it's really a blessing for the house." Cai Ji pressed the excitement in his heart. And just when Cai Ji was thinking about how to rely on Pang Tong's relationship to recruit Zhuge Liang, and even Xu Shu, Liao Li and other Jingzhou celebrities, the corner of her eyes suddenly skimmed to a small building on the west side of the courtyard, and a burly figure was looking this way. Although the distance between the small building and the courtyard was so far that he couldn't see the faces of the people upstairs, Cai Ji still guessed the identity of the other party without thinking. Because at this moment, there is only one person who will be upstairs, and that is Zhang Liao, who has been captured for more than two months.
