"You can come out, do you want me to go in and please? Believe it or not, I set this kennel on fire. After laughing, Luo Tong realized that he had not dealt with the culprit who did not have a little environmental awareness!

"Don't order, don't order!" An angry old voice came from inside.

The women laughed

There was a bang, the door opened, and an old man in dirty and ragged clothes walked out, this person was unusually thin, his white hair was dirty and messy, exuding the unpleasant smell of mildew and rot, and his face was blue and swollen.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Liwan, Yao Chi, Changle, and Jin Fengwei all subconsciously took a step back.

Luo Tong didn't react, when he was a killer in the past, he drilled through the manure pits and sewers, and sometimes he stayed for days in order to wait for the target to appear! It smells fine.

"Grass people Shi Zhiguo thank you General Luo!" The old man called himself Shi Zhiguo, knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed a few times with a face of piety, and looked like he was living for the rest of his life.

"Coward!" Zheng Liwan said disdainfully.

Shi Zhiguo said with a straight face: "The girl is wrong, there are three out of sixty grass people, and death is a matter of one or two years, but the grass people can't die and don't dare to die now." ”

Everyone was secretly amazed that this old man was so eloquent that he didn't look like his clothes at all!

"Get up!" Luo Tong didn't like others kneeling in front of him, and he didn't kneel at this time. As a son of man, he only kneels to heaven and earth and his parents, and he only needs to bow when he meets the emperor. Even standing salutes are not prevalent here. Regardless of the size of the position, as long as there is a seat in the court. However, when talking to the emperor, the courtiers need to stand up and answer as a sign of respect.

Shi Zhiguo stood up, but bowed to the end again, and said, "Grass people Shi Zhiguo thank you General Luo for saving his life!" ”

Luo Tong cried and laughed: "Aren't you grateful?" ”

Shi Zhiguo explained: "Just now I thanked General Luo for saving three generations of grass people; Now is the time to thank the general for saving his life. ”

"So, your hard work is more important than yourself? The hard work of the three generations you said is also the real reason why you can't die and dare not die, right? Luo Tong said suddenly.

Shi Zhiguo nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

The words "scientific madman" flashed through Luo Tong's mind, and his heart moved, and then he asked sharply: "Don't you know that the wastewater produced by this paper production is no more poisonous, and today it is only discharged into the ditch where the irrigation seedlings are located, but if it is discharged into the domestic water for human drinking, you will be responsible for human life?" ”

Shi Zhiguo's frank face suddenly turned pale, and he looked palpitating, and he was also afraid for a while, he opened his mouth tremblingly, and couldn't say a word.

"Fortunately, there are no fatalities now, and the loss is not small, but it is finally within the scope of what can be handled. Looking at your appearance, you can't pay for these losses, so that's it! Tear down the workshop and stop harming people. Luo Tong was very curious about Shi Zhiguo's "three generations of hard work", and judging from his actions, it must be related to papermaking, so he planned to use both grace and power to understand his research results.

Shi Zhiguo was grateful, and knelt down again: "The grass people know that their time is running out, and they just want to fulfill the wishes of their grandfather and father before they die, so everything is convenient, and they don't know that it will cause such a result." The general is benevolent, and the grass people are toothless and unforgettable. ”

All the women were in awe, and they all put away their contempt!

Luo Tong personally helped Shi Zhiguo up and respectfully saluted Shi Zhiguo!

"This, this...... How to make it, how can grass people afford it! Shi Zhiguo was at a loss, and he wanted to help Luo Tong but was afraid of soiling the other party's expensive clothes.

Luo Tong bowed three times solemnly and said loudly: "Who said that you can't afford it!" You can afford it. ”

"Mr. Shi's family of three generations of truth-seeking and pragmatic, this perfect craftsman spirit, is the soul of a country and a nation to inherit, it is with your skilled craftsmen from generation to generation of dilapidated innovation, we have ended the life of drinking blood, living in a house, wearing clothes...... I know you're making paper, or you're improving papermaking, I don't care how far you've got. In the future, how about I support your workshop, support your deputy, support your apprentice, support you with all expenses, and do my best to help you improve your research? ”

Shi Zhiguo seemed to have hit the pie that fell from the sky, and said with a blank face: "There is such a good thing? ”

"I didn't lie to you, but I have one condition!"

Shi Zhiguo said without hesitation: "I heard what General Luo just said that the villagers said, I know that the general is a good person, and I will agree to the general on any conditions." ”

"Live well, use your limited life, continue to improve your research, and leave the things you do to your assistants and apprentices in the future; How to do it, you just have to explain it to others. ”

Shi Zhiguo looked excited, two lines of turbid tears slipped down his eyes, and said angrily: "The third generation of the Shi family is a madman who is avoided in the eyes of tens of millions of people!" The general is the first person to recognize our historian, and I thank the general on behalf of my ancestors! He bowed and said, "Thanks to the general's attention, the remnants of the grass people will be handed over to the general!" ”

Luo Tong helped him up again and said: "It's not a secret, I'm here today for papermaking craftsmen, your historians have been addicted to papermaking for three generations, and you must know very well, can you show me your results?" ”

"Whoa!" Shi Zhiguo didn't say a word, and with a strange emotion, he hurriedly entered the house, took out a large stack of paper, and said, "General, please look, this is the best I have ever made!" ”

Luo Tong stretched out his hand to take it, handed it to Zheng Liwan and Changle respectively, and held it in his hand to look at it.

Paper is light and soft in the hand, in addition to the unsightly color, on the other advantages of paper, is that even hard yellow paper can not be compared. Not to mention bamboo paper.

Luo Tong tried to fold it in half, constantly; Fold again, and it continues, and it has been dealt with countless times in a row, until it can no longer be folded......

"What paper! It's all about twisting and turning. ”

It is not strange that paper is folded in later generations, and in later generations, paper can be folded as much as you want, you want to make airplanes and make airplanes, and you want to be frogs and frogs. But this is the Tang Dynasty, where it is impossible to fold except for rice paper and some precious paper. The most widely circulated paper on the market is bamboo paper, hard yellow paper, bamboo paper is popular in well-off homes, this kind of paper is as hard as a biscuit, it breaks when it is broken, and can only be used for writing. Hard yellow paper is popular in the upper class, Li Shimin, Luo Tong and some high-ranking officials and nobles practice calligraphy, mostly use this kind of paper. The last process of this hard yellow paper is waxing, as soon as the paper is folded, the wax will fall off and wrinkle, and the paper surface will no longer be neat.

Only high-grade paper at the level of rice paper has the possibility of folding, but what Shi Zhiguo handed over turned out to be like a paper in later generations, which can be folded at will! If nothing else, this feature alone surpasses all other papers on the market.

glanced at the two women with an inquiring gaze, and from their eyes, Luo Tong saw a message, shocked!

Who would have thought that such paper would come out of this dilapidated thatched hut, and the producer didn't even have an assistant.

Zheng Liwan and Princess Changle praised in unison, "I didn't expect Mr. Shi to have such a clever technique." ”

Shi Zhiguo looked for prestige, and immediately stood on the spot, even if he focused on research all his life, at this time, Zheng Liwan and Changle were shocked by their peerless elegance! After a while, he came to his senses and said, "The grass people have lost their temper!" ”

Then he recalled: "My ancestral home is Jiangnan, and the papermaking technique was inherited from my father, and my father learned from my ancestors. Since childhood, Caomin has learned papermaking from his father, and this learning is 30 years. For 30 years, I have been devoting my mind to making paper all the time, even if I close my eyes, I can make paper. When I was perfect, my father didn't let me make paper, he said that even if I practiced papermaking technology to the peak, it would be like that. If you want to get ahead, you need to improve your papermaking technology! He taught me for 30 years, so that I was proficient in technology, and he said that only by thoroughly understanding the technology can practice make perfect, and invent new papermaking techniques from it. He also said that the ancestors also gave him that way. My father passed away, and I made a living from the workshop, and my life was greedy, but my family could get by! ”

Later, the workshop was destroyed in the war, and the family also died in the war. When they were old and their strength was gone, they were driven out. Speaking of this, his face became hideous: "I'm not reconciled, I'm not willing to be so fruitless, I'm left with an old man in the historian's family, I can't and dare not live up to the expectations of my ancestors, and I must successfully improve this papermaking method that has been handed down." So I set up a workshop here, researching and selling paper for a living, but I didn't expect that the village had built a new canal, and unfortunately it was my fault that sewage was used for irrigation, which caused such harm to the villagers, and if I had built a workshop downstream, it would not have been like this. His face was full of unwillingness and self-blame.

Everyone couldn't cry or laugh, this matter was making a fuss, and the culprit was actually the new project for the benefit of the people that was built this year.
