"The young master is back!" The porter shouted as usual.

"Uncle Li is good." Zhao Jie greeted the porter, followed by Xingyi behind him, and then the two walked straight to the backyard.

Zhao Jie changed his clothes as usual, visited his mother, and dined with his mother. When the father is not at home, as a child, he has to accompany his mother to eat every day, which is the unwritten family rule of respecting the mother formed by the Zhao family since the disaster in the lower palace.

In the summer and June of the seventeenth year of Jin Jinggong, the difficulty of the palace is difficult to mention the pain of the Zhao family, in this incident the Zhao family was punished several times, the only survivor of the entire Zhao family - Zhao Wu survived in the harsh environment under the protection of his mother, and succeeded the head of the family, his descendants have continued to the present, the current Zhao royal family is one of its descendants, in order to commemorate the mother's intermittent grace, and at the same time thank the mother's nurturing grace, the Zhao family has a tradition of respecting the mother, in the Zhao family, the mother occupies an important position.

At the dinner table, Zhao Jie and his mother sat opposite each other, the maids served the food one after another, and Xing Yi stood beside Zhao Jie.

"Jie'er, I heard that you advanced money from the account office today, I see that you are also older, and you have more things to buy, and from next month, your pocket money will increase to double the current amount." Mother spoke first.

"Thank you, mother." Zhao Jie said excitedly with a smile on his face.

"Jie'er, there's one more thing I want to remind you. You should know that we are members of the royal family, and most of the maids in the house are carefully selected women from good families, and you bought some young girls from outside this time, you must know that this kind of thing is not allowed, this time, I will help you force this matter down, and you will not buy girls from outside in the future. ”

"I know, thank you, mother, this is the last time, I will definitely not buy girls from outside in the future." Zhao Jie explained.

"I have already asked the housekeeper to arrange those girls you bought, and they will serve you exclusively in the future, at your disposal, by your own arrangement, after eating, you will go to Qingfeng Temple to arrange it.

After speaking, all the dishes were served, and Zhao Jie accompanied his mother to eat under Xingyi's service. After eating, he talked to his mother for a while, and then Zhao Jie said goodbye to his mother and came to Qingfeng Courtyard. ”

Qingfeng Courtyard is the place where the maid in Zhao Jie's courtyard lives, and his courtyard is only separated by a wall, connected by a small door in the middle, and originally only Xingyi lived there. Under the leadership of Xingyi, Zhao Jie came to Qingfeng Courtyard and gathered all the girls. He walked up the steps, he wanted to say something, but when he saw the skinny appearance of these girls, Zhao Jie was speechless, poverty made this group of girls suffer endless suffering, compared to these sufferings, everything in the world is not worth mentioning, so Zhao Jie pointed to Xingyi, and simply took care of the girls under the steps: "In the future, this girl will be your sister, and you will listen to her in the future." ”

"Whoa." The girls all replied, although their voices were uneven, but Zhao Jie heard a breath of hope from them......

After speaking, Zhao Jie said some words of encouragement to Xingyi, and left this Qingfeng Courtyard, which was full of women. The breath of hope made Zhao Jie feel something, Zhao Jie looked up at the sky, the night had quietly fallen, it was dark between heaven and earth, only a few stars in the sky were still shining, it seemed to want to illuminate everything, but how could the light cut through the darkness. Such a dark night is just like Zhao Jie's predicament at this time, the future is dark, only he is fighting alone, Zhao Jie can't help but ask himself: "Is my effort the star's immeasurable strength in the face of darkness, or the unremitting power of the sun to break through the darkness?" ”

*********************************************************************

It's a new day, most of the world's lives are as usual with Fan Sui continuing to work on his strategic ideas, Ashoka of India is still promoting his Buddhist policies, and Roman warriors are still fighting in war.

At noon, Zhao Jie carried a large bag of bark into the Prince's Mansion, and in the Prince's Mansion, Xingyi was still trying her best to teach all the girls the rules according to Zhao Jie's instructions. Fortunately, Zhao Jie can't use Xingyi recently, and Zhao Jie plans to start studying papermaking from today.

Papermaking is one of the four great inventions of China and an outstanding invention in the history of human civilization. Paper is easy to carry and has a wide range of materials, which has promoted the cultural development of China, Arabia, Europe and the whole world. History: In ancient times, people accidentally discovered that after a heavy rain, when the river receded, some things gathered on the abandoned branches on the bank of the river, and the things gathered on these branches were dried by the sun and removed, and they became words that could be written on them. This natural phenomenon inspired the wisdom of the ancients, who used the principles of nature to produce artificial paper after repeated research and pondering, but the quality of the paper they produced was not the same, and the quantity was not much, and the cost was high. Later, in 105 AD, when China was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a palace eunuch named Cai Lun summed up the experience of his predecessors in the Hanzhong region of Shaanxi Province and improved the papermaking technique, using tree bark, hemp heads, rags, old fishing nets and other raw materials to make paper. It greatly improves the production efficiency of paper quality, expands the source of raw materials for paper, reduces the cost of paper, and opens up the prospect of paper replacing bamboo silk. In the third to fourth centuries AD, paper has basically replaced silk and simplicity and has become the only writing material in China. In the 16th century, paper became popular throughout Europe, eventually replacing the traditional parchment and Egyptian papyrus, and since then paper has gradually spread to the world.

Zhao Jie's previous life, Zhao Zhaoyi, shuttled through the world's major battlefields, and powerful weapons made the infrastructure of the battlefield a ruin, and the paper mill was not spared, but modern life is inseparable from paper, so the people in some places returned to their old business and used the local method to make paper for use. Zhao Jie was also fortunate to see the process of local papermaking occasionally, and after watching it a few times, Zhao Zhaoyi had a profound impression of this process.

Zhao Zhaoyi, who crossed over to become Zhao Jie, did not forget these memories after the crossing, but for the sake of prudence, Zhao Jie decided to give it a try first, and Zhao Jie made a perfect plan and devoted himself to his work.

First of all, Zhao Jie asked several guards in the palace who were responsible for protecting him to wrap the small amount of hemp, rags, and bark they had bought into the lake and soak them for several days and nights. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jie asked his guards to chop up the raw materials with sharp things such as axes and swords, and put the scraps into the basket that had already been prepared, and continued to throw them into the river for washing. After washing, Zhao Jie asked the guards to put the clean ingredients into a small bucket and then moved them to the kitchen. In the kitchen, Zhao Jie asked the servants to bring the plant ashes, and then asked the servants to mix the water, plant ashes, and raw materials, and then put them on the stove for steaming. After steaming for several days and nights, Zhao Jie again instructed the servants to take down the small barrels, wash them again, and then put them in a stone mortar, and let people knock them with a stone mill until the bamboo was broken and looked like a mud surface. Then Zhao Jie asked the slave to pour the broken raw materials into the sink, add water and stir until it was uniform to form a pulp, and then let the maid use a leaky paper mold like a sieve to evenly scoop up the pulp. Finally, the pulp and paper molds are placed in the sun to dry. After a few days of drying, the maid carefully removed the formed paper, and the entire papermaking process was over.

When the maids handed the paper to Xingyi, and then Xingyi brought it to Zhao Jie, Zhao Jie was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several days. After the joy, Zhao Jie called the maid who uncovered the paper, and the maid in charge reported that the number of paper that could be written accounted for about half of the number of all the paper molded, and with nearly 100 pieces of paper in his hand, Zhao Jie understood that papermaking must go through the production of workshops, so that it is possible to improve technology and meet the requirements of mass production. But Zhao Jie didn't want to teach papermaking to others for profit, he wanted to open his own workshop, integrate the modern business philosophy of the previous life into it, and monopolize the papermaking industry from production to sales, in order to make money, build his own business empire, and provide financial support for his ideals.

*************************************************************

Time continued to move forward into the future at his speed, no matter how people kept it, he didn't care, and time took his steps, stepping into the spring of 267 BC, the 32nd year of King Zhao Huiwen. On the platform of the martial spirits, on the greenery, two warriors were fully armed, armed with swords, bows and arrows on their backs, and wearing armor, facing each other in the forest. The two in the forest are Zhao Jie and Zhao Jiansheng, the study of martial arts is nearing the end, Zhao Jiansheng in order to increase Zhao Jie's actual combat experience, and Zhao Jie fights every day, although Zhao Jie has done his best every time, but has not won once, Zhao Jie has been defeated repeatedly, repeatedly defeated, today Zhao Jie asked the master again and again.

Zhao Jiansheng and Zhao Jie both held their swords in both hands, stared at each other tightly, and took silent and cautious steps, as if at this moment in their eyes, only themselves and their opponents were left between heaven and earth, and suddenly the two of them shouted in unison, and at the same time ran towards each other with their swords, and waved their swords mercilessly. "Dang, dang, dang・・・・・・ the sound of the intersecting iron swords continued to remember, "Ahh・・・・・・h In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jian and Zhao Jiansheng have passed hundreds of moves, Zhao Jie's physical strength is gradually exhausted, and Zhao Jiansheng is also slightly tired. "Ahh Zhao Jie roared, exerted all the strength of his body, gathered it into the sword, and pushed out the sword suppressed by Zhao Jiansheng's sword. Zhao Jiansheng didn't expect Zhao Jie to use such a strong force. For a while, the sword was pushed away, and Zhao Jie took the opportunity of Zhao Jiansheng to return the sword, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and swung the sword cleanly, and the blade slashed at Zhao Jiansheng's neck, stopping near the neck. At this time, Zhao Jiansheng's sword was also swinging towards his waist, only a few seconds slower.

Zhao Jiansheng looked at Zhao Jie and said with satisfaction: "Master, I lost, apprentice, you won, your performance today is good." According to our agreement, you can now leave the school. I don't have anything to teach you in the future, and this is the end of your mentorship and apprenticeship. In the future, you must not forget to practice diligently, and I hope you can go to the next level. ”

"Thank you, Master, for your teachings."

"In addition, I would like to give you a few reminders and suggestions:

1. Now that you have defeated me, don't be complacent, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

Second, because Zhao is famous for its cavalry, the swordsmanship moves I taught you have been transformed by me and will be used on horses.

3. **The head of all families, perfect the moves, the martial arts I teach you will not affect your learning of the martial arts of other martial arts schools.

Fourth, in today's world, every general has his unique and handy weapon, you need to find a handy weapon suitable for you to fight on the battlefield in the future, for example, my ancestors used to be good at using iron spears, but my descendants and other descendants did not use them well, resulting in the loss of stunts, and I am good at using swords.

That's all I said, you have to keep it in mind. ”

"The apprentice understands, and the apprentice obeys the teacher's orders."
