Chapter 38 Papermaking, Speculation, and Thinking Again
With Liu Rong's persistence, the pain in his body became more and more obvious, and it seemed that he would have to take a medicinal bath tomorrow.
The prescription provided by Zhao Yun before, according to Zhao Yunzhi, can be stopped as long as the body is not painful, but now that the body is reflecting, this bath of rose petals cannot be washed.
After practicing for two hours, although it didn't make him feel like he was when he first practiced on the first two days, he was really sore.
Back in the front yard, the queen Li and Wang were already busy in the courtyard with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
"Your Majesty, the concubine will accompany you to bathe first, the water in the pot has just boiled, and it will take a while!" The queen ran to Liu Rong's front and said.
"Hmm!" Liu Rong bared his teeth as he walked, "Later, you ordered someone to grab some of the medicine on General Zhao's prescription, boil it, and from tomorrow, I will continue to bathe with this medicine!" ”
The queen frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, are you in pain again?" ”
Liu Rong nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will go out of the palace and ask Uncle Zilong what is going on!" ”
"Your Majesty should ask clearly, the dragon body is big, don't practice badly!" The queen was right now.
After bathing, Liu Rong returned to the courtyard, and saw that the pot was already boiling, and there were many things in the courtyard that were not there yesterday, such as smooth and flat stone slabs, which were placed on two high stools.
The coarse and smooth stone slab is the same length as the width of the slate.
There are also stone scrapers, etc., which should be much easier to use than square wooden blocks.
Considering that the emperor's body was unwell again, she ordered someone to move the chair and put it in a shady place in the courtyard, and Liu Rong sat on the chair.
Li Wang took the pastry tea and waited on his left and right.
Liu Rong commanded in a remote voice, "Let's see if the bamboo chips have been boiled thoroughly?" ”
A guard immediately grabbed a piece of bamboo scraps with his hand, broke it open and looked at it according to the emperor's appearance a few days ago, leaned over and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it should have been cooked thoroughly!" ”
Liu Rong nodded, this guard, who had made toilet paper with himself a few days ago, had learned how to distinguish it.
He said, "Then use the stone mill to grind again, first grind through the grinding side, and then I will see!" ”
As he spoke, he took a bite of pastry on his left and a sip of tea on his right.
It seems that everyone is blessed, but it is not.
It is already rare for an emperor to be able to guide production in the courtyard under the scorching sun, so he can't be allowed to starve!
Therefore, none of the guards or eunuchs and palace maids had any doubts, and as soon as Liu Rong's order came out, they immediately took action.
These people, all of whom have had an experience, are following the previous steps.
Liu Rong nodded, he was able to be selected into the palace as the emperor's close attendant, and none of them were stupid people, and they were basically able to carry out the process of refining according to the situation last time.
After a while, the first grinding was completed, and he had eaten and drunk enough, and a guard walked up to Liu Rong with a wooden barrel containing bamboo pulp and asked him to inspect it.
Liu Rong stretched out his hand and twisted it in the bucket, and said, "It should be almost the same time to grind again!" ”
Think about the toilet paper, even if it is made of soft poplar as the raw material, it also needs to be ground three times, and the writing paper is different, and it only takes two times to meet the requirements.
Everyone was familiar with the road and quickly completed the second refining.
The next step is filtration, where the bamboo pulp is placed on a stone slab and scraped flat with a spatula.
Later, the method of making toilet paper is completely different, if it is toilet paper, it will be completed at this time, but the writing paper has the final process, that is, after the bamboo pulp is slightly dry, it is rolled many times with a stone stone to require it to be dense.
At this time, the bamboo pulp has a lot of water, and it is not suitable to be crushed with stones, and it is necessary to wait for it to dry a little.
After looking at it, it was still early at this time, and it was estimated that it would be a little past noon, so Liu Rong decided to go out of the palace and ask Zhao Yun, he had been exercising for a long time, and he had passed the period of physical discomfort, so it stands to reason that this situation should not occur again, it is better to ask it earlier, in case he dies of training, how can it be?
When I come back in the evening, I guess I can use the pulp to crush it with a stone.
So he looked at the queen and said, "I want to leave the palace, and you guys are coming to accompany me?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to go!" The three of them spoke in unison.
"Alright, let's go with us!"
With Liu Rong's approval, the three of them were overjoyed, and the queen said, "Prepare the sedan chair, no, prepare the chariot!" ”
The eunuch guards in the courtyard took action again before they had time to rest, as the emperor's close attendants, this is their job.
As an emperor, although he does not often leave the palace with great fanfare, he still has a car, and it is extremely luxurious.
When he left the Heart Cultivation Palace, he was stunned by the carriage in front of him.
He couldn't imagine that the carriage could go so far.
Although it is made of wood, it is painted black and the body is carved with delicate patterns.
On both sides of the carriage there were windows made of wooden strips, which were made of silk silk as window paper, and it was estimated that they could be opened.
The roof is also wooden, like a smaller herringbone roof, carved like pieces of bricks, and the four corners seem to be upturned, like a miniature palace.
Well, Liu Rong admits that this is similar to the carriage that Qin Shi Huang saw on TV in his previous life when he went out to inspect, the only difference is that the specifications are smaller, and the chariot of Qin Shi Huang's foreign tour is pulled by eight horses, and there are only two horses in front of him.
At this time, the guards had already taken the stool and put it in front of him, Liu Rong took a deep breath and stepped on the chariot.
The front part of the chariot is a couch, and there are a few on the couch. The rear half has two rows of soft seats on each side.
The space, Liu Rong observed, and the space was larger than that of the SUV in the previous life.
She was followed by the queen, who sat on either side of the couch with Liu Rong.
Then came the Li Wang, and after getting on the chariot, he sat on the soft seats on both sides.
At this time, the door closed, and Wang Li shouted, "Get up!" ”
Just listen to the sound of the whip, and the chariot slowly starts!
Although the wooden wheels are a little bumpy on the road, Liu Rong guessed that his chariot is estimated to be the best in Shudi, and if it is relatively compared with his previous life, he is probably Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other levels! Maybe the specs are a little higher!
This is still the Shu Han Emperor in a remote corner.
If one day, he can hold all the land of Kyushu in his pocket, and it is estimated that he will be able to be like the first emperor and take eight horses.
Thinking of this, his heart rippled again!
Emperor's throne, his honor! Its glory!
In China's 2,000-year feudal history, the emperor is a kind of faith.
Just like himself, although he is weak, he is the emperor after all, and he will definitely have the glory he deserves.
And at this time, he also affirmed the fact that at this moment, even if Zhuge Liang wanted to steal his throne, he might not be able to succeed.
Because he is the emperor, and Liu Bei's prestige is still there, among the military generals of Shudi, there are also people who are loyal to Liu Bei.
Just like Sima Yi of Cao Wei at this moment, facing Emperor Cao Rui of Wei at this moment, he is still holding his tail and behaving a man.
The most fundamental reason is that the work of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi is not enough to make them raise their arms and shout, and they can abolish the emperor and stand on his own.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang's ambition at this moment, the Central Plains, must still be hoping that he can be more motivated!
Thinking of this, Liu Rong felt that although he still had to be careful and low-key, he would not feel the wind and rain in the city as when he first came, thinking about this palace and this Shu land, there were always Diao people who wanted to harm me, and they were worried all day long.
It seems that his thinking still needs to change a little more, he estimates that in recent years, as long as he does not hinder Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang will continue to support him.
