In early summer, the spring breeze refused to leave on the banks of the Qishui River. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The expansion of the royal city of Chaoge has been completed, since Wei Guo moved back to the old capital, the development speed of this ancient capital is better than a year, since Wei Zheng took charge of the country, the ancient city of Chaoge has never been threatened by any kind, no war is the basis of prosperity.

Chaoge City from the forgotten ancient capital to today's prosperity and reputation all over the world is the most true portrayal of the defense of the country from weak to strong, and the former first city in the world Liang is gradually dimming, in the long run, Chaoge replaced Liang City to become the world's first capital is just a problem in the world.

Although the king of a country does those things that are not what the monarch should do in the eyes of the ministers, Wei Zheng did not abandon the dynasty because of this, and he didn't just care about stirring up strange things and didn't ask about political affairs, so it was not easy for the courtiers to say anything, even if they were admonished, there had to be a reason for not, maybe this was Wei Zheng's personal habit.

The courtiers did not understand, but they did not stop it, nor did they ask.

It is true that after the high-profile kingship of Mengmen in the land of Taihang, the Qin State wanted to provoke the war between the Wei State and the Qi State in the end, but it did not succeed, Wei Zheng not only took Zhang Yi back to the Wei Kingdom, so that this immortal talent became the new Guiguzi, but also had a good result, and at the same time curbed the imminent war of Wei Qi through diplomatic relations.

The current Seven Heroes Warring States, Chu State tossed miserably enough, King Chu Huai just wanted to continue to toss Chu State's national strength and did not allow it, although Qi State is now the first strong, but it lacks a piece of Qin State's courage, dare not seize the world, but did not steal an inch of land from neighbors and be complacent, such as recovering the land of Huaisi, King Qi Xuan was happy for a while, Qi State learned the lesson of the Wei State on all sides, and there was bad water in the stomach but it was also secretly dry.

The Central Plains returned to tranquility again, but the war never really stopped in the whole world, the war stopped here, and new chaos broke out in another place.

Now the defense of the country has stopped, but Zhao Guo, who has been out of the matter for more than ten years, is finally restless, and Zhao Yong, the male lord, has also revealed his ambition and ambition for the first time, and when Wei Guo is king, Zhao Yong and Wei Zheng reached a consensus, Wei Guo supports Zhao to destroy Zhongshan Kingdom, not only that, but also recognizes Zhao Yong's annexation of Zhongshan Kingdom in the future.

With the support of Weiguo, a powerful country in the Central Plains, and the fact that Qin is attacking Yiyang at this moment, there will be no trouble for Qin to take the opportunity to raise troops in the western border of Zhao State for the time being, so Zhao Yong finally made up his mind to start preparing the army and attacking Zhongshan State.

Zhongshan is in the hinterland of Zhao State, creeping in the north of Zhao State, and has always formed a trend of Mount Tai to the top of Zhao State, and it is a country established by foreigners, Zhao Yong no longer thinks about how to destroy Zhongshan State at all times, and removes the biggest hidden danger of Zhao State.

Today's lord of Zhao is one of the few monarchs who can be valued by Wei Zheng, it can be seen that his majesty, Zhao Yong knows that the destruction of Zhongshan is not a day's work, and the same is true in history, after Zhao Wuling King ordered a comprehensive Hu Fu cavalry shooting, he immediately started the journey of five expeditions to Zhongshan State, and successively used troops against Zhongshan State on a large scale five times before finally completely uprooting this henchman.

It can be seen that it is not easy to destroy other countries.

After Zhao and Wei Guo formed an alliance with each other, both sides were fulfilling their covenants, and Wei Guo sent a team of 300 capable cavalry instructors to help Zhao Guoxing Hu Fu cavalry and form Zhao cavalry; And Zhao also carried out the transportation of horses as a strategic resource to the country in accordance with the covenant.

Wei Guo and Zhao Guo can now be regarded as a "honeymoon period", and there is a great deal of sincere cooperation and a win-win situation.

And the Yan Kingdom in the north can't help but talk about it at this moment.

It is true that after King Yan Zhao took charge of the country and broke Yan, he used Su Qin as the prime minister, so Yan Kingdom immediately began to go to the old and the new, and King Yan Zhao adopted Su Qin's suggestion and began to expand northward, and Yan Kingdom gradually appeared in the middle of the atmosphere.

I have to say that King Yan Zhao is also a monarch of the country, not to be a Ming lord, Yan Zhi's daughter buys bones, hangs himself and asks for loneliness, shares weal and woe with the people, and has won the trust of the people of Yan State, which can be described as the people's desire, Yan people also have no regrets to follow King Yan Zhao to sell their lives, and unite to slowly encroach on the north, King Yan Zhao personally commanded the troops to attack Donghu, Shanrong and other foreign tribes in the north, on the one hand, it is to expand the territory, on the other hand, King Yan Zhao is also a live target for the Yan army to take foreigners as sparring partners, and the real enemy of the Yan army is the Qi Zhiji attack in the south.

The Warring States Period competed for hegemony in the world, different from the Spring and Autumn Period, the seven male princes of today, even the weakest one can chase the foreign race, that is, the country of the remnant Yan, and the foreign race is also an unambiguous master, so strong is not unreasonable, since the Spring and Autumn Period is the conquest is endless, hundreds of years of internal turmoil have made the Chinese family plant a belligerent heart, because the belligerent are all dead, and none of the big countries left behind is not a belligerent country.

It is foreseeable that with the rise of Zhao and Yan, the Rongdi foreign clan in the northern part of the world will soon usher in a period of darkness.

These two warring states urgently need to strengthen themselves, so as not to avoid national annihilation in the future, and those entrenched in the Central Plains are all tigers and wolves, which are not easy to provoke, or even can't be provoked, but they want to be strong, except to go north to the Rongdi foreign tribe to nourish themselves, and the Yan State Zhao has no choice but to be strong.

In the final analysis, the Seven Heroes and Warring States are all strong bullies, and if the strong can't beat them, then they will fight the weak.

Zhao State, Yan State, and Qin State were all fighting, but Wei Guo did not go to join in the fun, after the battle of Yangshan, after swallowing the land of Jinan, he began to recuperate with the people and accumulate national strength.

Now Wei Guo is called the king, which also indicates that it is no longer the small country that survived in the cracks among the great powers, Wei Zheng of course has to consider the future layout strategy, and now the lord of Wei Guo is excellent in the eyes of the people of the world, it is true, but martial arts alone is not enough, Wei Guo still needs civil governance, once the country is getting bigger and bigger, the population is increasing, which means that more talents are needed to help Wei Zheng take charge of the huge empire.

And it is time for paper to be a powerful tool, rather than seeking talents, it is better to cultivate talents yourself, in the final analysis, more readers are needed.

When Zhao, Qin, Yan, Zhongshan, and Korea were at war, Wei Zheng began to invent paper in the palace, and this invention that was enough to affect the process of human civilization was born more than 100 years in advance.

During this time, Wei Zheng ordered a large pool to be dug in the palace of the capital, and the lime was poured into the pool, so it became alkaline lime water, which is an indispensable material in the papermaking process.

Wei Zheng ordered a team of armor soldiers to go to the forest to cut down a large amount of bamboo and transport it back to the palace, and the palace guards cut the bamboo back into neat bamboo bundles according to the instructions of the monarch, and then entered the very important process of papermaking, which is also the longest time-consuming part of the entire papermaking process.

That is to put the bamboo bundle into lime water to bleach, this bleaching is a hundred days, and this link is the process of treating the raw materials with alkaline solution.

The reason why Wei Zheng knows the art of papermaking well is also thanks to an ancient book he read in his previous life, that is, the famous "Heavenly Creation", this ancient science and technology encyclopedia, it introduces in detail how the ancients used limited tools and knowledge to carry out papermaking technology.

The reason why it is necessary to bleaching bamboo for 100 days is because there are substances harmful to papermaking in the plant fibers of bamboo, that is, pectin and lignin, which is not conducive to the refinement of fibers, and the presence of lignin will greatly reduce the strength and life of the paper, and it is easy to oxidize to form pigments, so it is impossible to make white paper.

This 100-day bleaching process is an effective way to remove impurities such as pectin and lignin from plant fibers with lye.

Wei Zheng in his previous life was surprised when he read "Heavenly Creation", how did the ancients who did not have a microscope know that these impurities were harmful to papermaking? The papermaking process introduced in "Heavenly Creation", that is, the method of removing impurities from plant fibers, is almost consistent with modern science.

Wei Zheng in the previous life studied deeply, and the ancients found that the papermaking process of removing impurities was not groundless, but historical. You must know that the Chinese people have an ancient craft that has been passed down for more than 4,000 years, that is, to make silk, and the ancient silk reeling process is to boil silkworm cocoons to remove sericin, so that purer silk fibers can be obtained for silk production.

Perhaps it is this silk reeling technique that has been passed down for more than 4,000 years that inspired the ancients, and papermaking also requires the removal of pectin from plant fibers. After Wei Zheng in the previous life thought of the ancient silk reeling skills, a more interesting and curious question came, how did the Chinese ancestors four thousand years ago know that sericin must be removed?
