Chapter Twenty-Seven: Papermaking Begins
The doubts in his heart were solved, and Zhang Yuan no longer worried so much.
Before, I was just not sure which side of the surveillance force was, but now I have the answer, and I have confidence in my heart.
So, Zhang Yuan withdrew the smile on his face, sat back on his recliner directly, and said slowly.
"Sir, you can go back on an errand.
I did have a new idea, but I didn't implement it right now.
If there is a finished product, it is estimated that it will not arouse the concern of the prince, this thing is just a gadget. ”
Ji Fu had a skeptical expression on his face, and he almost didn't write the words "Ghost Believes You" on his face.
"What you say is true? Is it a new weapon, or a tool that can be used in farming? ”
Just now Zhang Yuan said that it would be a finished product and also said a gadget, and Ji Fu subconsciously thought that it would be an artifact in the end, but in fact it was still a technique.
Zhang Yuan made paper in the future, and he was not afraid of being stolen and snatched away, as long as the technique was in his own hands, it was enough.
"No, sir, don't worry, please go back.
There are no rooms in Zhangfu for you to live in, and it is not early in the morning, so you should hurry back to Chang'an as soon as possible. ”
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he didn't look at Ji Fu, and Xiong Da Xiong Er, who was standing outside the door, also came in handy at this moment.
The two of them stared at Jifu with two beads of eyes on their waists, as if Jifu was going to carry Jifu out if he didn't leave now.
After Liu Che ascended the throne and Tian Wei gained power, Jifu has not suffered this kind of anger.
But looking at Xiong Da Xiong's grinning and fierce appearance, and then looking at Zhang Yuan, who was sitting on the recliner with his eyes slightly closed and smiling, Ji Fu secretly weighed it in his heart and affirmed the idea that the hero would not suffer the loss in front of him.
"What the old man knows and feels today, he will definitely report it to the prince in full when he goes back."
After saying that, Ji Fu turned and left.
Zhang Yuan didn't open his eyes until this time, looking at Ji Fu's departing back, revealing a bright smile.
Regarding papermaking, Zhang Yuan had already figured out how to deal with it yesterday.
At present, with his small size, if a large amount of paper is published, this technique will definitely not be able to be preserved.
Liu Che will not easily go down to fight with his courtiers for these things, he knows that no matter how far the people below will carry forward the papermaking skills, the reputation and money earned will become him in the end, Liu Che can also be said to be a real benefit to the Han.
But the other candidates who are rooted in the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, those ministers who are superficially gentle but deep down in the court, they will not be polite to Zhang Yuan.
When Zhang Yuan and Tian Wei cut off the connection, they will know that there is no background behind this little young master, and the only brother is just a Guan Neihou, and he can't be seen in the eyes of these people at present.
After confirming this, these nobles will pounce on Zhang Yuan and plunder the papermaking technique and various interests.
Will Liu Che stop it then?
Zhang Yuan felt that it would not, if these nobles could fight to the death for papermaking, Liu Che was optimistic.
The internal friction between the Han lords and nobles is a great thing for the country and the ruler, of course, as long as the foundation of the country is not shaken.
So Zhang Yuan plans to find another backer, and this backer must be able to wrestle with Tian Wei, and even be able to gain the upper hand.
At the moment, there are no more than five people on the list for Zhang Yuan to choose from, but there is one that is the most suitable.
Wei Qing's future wife, who is now the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, Pingyang.
"Lao Zhao, let Zongxing go to Chang'an, go to the servant Wei Qing, and let him come to Zhang's Mansion as soon as possible."
Lao Zhao nodded, and immediately went down to ask Zongxing.
Why didn't Zhang Yuan go to Chang'an by himself, in fact, there was also a layer of intention.
At present, the focus of the entire Chang'an is on Wei Qing alone, and Wei Qing can bring the eyes of those people to Zhang Mansion when he comes to Zhangfu.
When cooperating with Princess Pingyang in the future, everyone will also remember who matched, although there are some suspicions of using Wei Qing, but Zhang Yuan feels that Wei Qing should not mind doing it himself.
Yesterday, Zhang Yuan had already asked the people in the house to go to Lantian Mountain to cut down the newly grown young bamboos.
In the open space in the northwest corner of Zhang's mansion, a lot of tender bamboos have been accumulated, and Zhang Yuan has people cut them into two-meter-long bamboo tubes and bundle them.
All day today, the tenants of the family have peeled off the green skin of the bamboo tube on the open space, leaving only the white bamboo tube.
Ji Fu didn't pay attention when he came, or he didn't care where the other people in the Zhang Mansion went.
Peeling the green skin will not cause too much noise, and the Jifu who only stays in the living room also eliminates the possibility of seeing and hearing some clues.
Not long after Lao Zhao left, Zhang Yuan got up and ran to the open space behind.
"Master, this batch of bamboos has been peeled off, what do you think we will do next?"
Seeing Zhang Yuan coming, Erdan hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Zhang Yuan saw that the situation at the scene was not bad, so he ordered.
"I moved some large stone piers back in the back mountain, and smashed all these white bamboo tubes with green skin peeled.
If the part of the bamboo can't be broken, take a hammer to hammer it, tie up the rotten pieces of bamboo strips, and open up a clear water pond to soak it. ”
Erdan nodded, turned around and began to shout.
"Fugui, you take some people to dig a pond and come out, and I will take people to move the stone pier."
Fugui shouted with a loud laugh.
"Okay."
Everyone scattered and started working in full swing.
In ancient times, the people were good, they needed few things, and as long as they gave them a little something, they were willing to give everything for you.
What Zhang Yuan took out and gave them only some insignificant property and rights could make so many people follow Zhang Yuan with all their hearts.
If you want to drive everyone away at this time, in the end, no one will want to go.
Because after leaving Zhang's mansion, they will return to the environment full of exploitation, and they may not even be able to eat at that time.
Time passed quietly little by little, and the people taken away by Erdan had already moved back the stone piers, and Fugui was still leading people to build a pond.
It is easy to repair the pond, but the clear water pond is a little more troublesome.
Numerous pebbles had to be laid under the pond so that the mud would not muddy the colour of the pond.
As for whether the water will seep down, Zhang Yuan doesn't care at all, he has already introduced a stream into Zhang's mansion, and he is afraid of any water infiltration.
When it was almost dark, the rich pond was also repaired, and Erdan led the people to tie up the broken bamboo strips into bundles one by one.
"The head of the house, just put it in the pond?"
Erdan was not at ease and came to ask Zhang Yuan, and when he saw Zhang Yuan nodding, he called everyone to place the bundled bamboo strips in the clear water pond.
