In fact, after the task was arranged, Liu Chan's days were not idle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Now it seems that there are a lot of people, but in fact, there are only a few who can take on big responsibilities, and now all kinds of things are piled up, and they are stretched.

But this world, this society, for Liu Chan is an era of waste waiting to be revived, and any road to build a modern scientific and technological society is not so easy to walk, especially in the initial stage, what Liu Chan has to do is to take a hundred years to achieve scientific and technological progress in his fleeting life.

In this way, I didn't come to this world in vain.

And if you want to achieve your goals, the Industrial Revolution is not really the key. Throughout the history of Europe, the beginning of its development did not lie in industry, but in the origins of civilized society.

Renaissance.

Overthrowing the ignorant theosophobia, establishing a scientific outlook on development, and awakening the will of the people are the root of civilization and progress.

In fact, on the land where the descendants of Yan and Huang live, there is also such a development opportunity, and this opportunity, in Liu Chan's view, is the period of a hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period.

At that time, the progress of society was amazing, and there were great strides in all aspects, from the economy and humanities to military science and technology. Ancient books such as "The Art of War" ensure that the people of this land will be proud of the world for a thousand years.

Truth be told, however, there are limits to this progress.

That is the extent of the spread of knowledge. All this knowledge is limited to the higher level, and the people at the bottom are still ignorant. In the ruler's view, this is a means of maintaining one's own rule, but in Liu Chan's view, this not only does not allow the ruling class to sit on its throne, but also hinders the progress of civilization.

Of course, this is only one aspect, and the other aspect, which seems insignificant, is in fact a huge obstacle to the spread of civilization.

That is the carrier of knowledge.

The term "Xuefu Five Chariots" means that the knowledge you have is recorded on bamboo slips to be able to fill five carriages. From another aspect, it also shows that in the case of only bamboo slips as a carrier of knowledge, reading and learning is definitely not a simple matter.

"The design of good white paper has to be on the agenda, so that knowledge can be spread, and it is also a great way to enhance my own reputation, so as to attract people from all over the world, which is the foundation of a strong country."

Liu Chan wrote these words word by word on the brocade in front of him, and then carefully took the brocade into his arms.

Although he didn't know the specific means of making white paper, after all, it was not within his professional scope, but he still had heard a little about the basic principles, and now, the materials that can make good white paper are actually everywhere around him.

That's bamboo.

Even if it's the bamboo slip in front of his desk, isn't the material used bamboo?

Since the raw materials are not a problem at all, the manufacturing method is the only obstacle in front of Liu Chan.

When he went out, he summoned Ding Xun, the old butler who would quickly appear from a corner whenever he needed it, and asked, "Uncle Ding, do you know that there is a workshop for making rough paper in this Wuyang realm?" ”

The old housekeeper didn't recall for long, and then he had a clear answer, as a qualified housekeeper, you must understand the surrounding environment faster than your master, after all, the identity of the housekeeper is actually the secretary at home.

"There are skilled hands in the craftsman's workshop in the east of the city, and when the old slave last made a purchase, he knew that the young master was particularly fond of paper, so he focused on understanding it. All the papers in the house during these days came from there. ”

"Oh?" Liu Chan was in a good mood when he heard this, there was a paper-making workshop in Wuyang City, which was much more convenient, "It's still early today, how about Uncle Ding accompany me on a trip?" ”

The old butler bowed and bowed his hand, "No." ”

It is said that when Wuyang was not yet the county of Qianwei, there was a county that thought that the workshops scattered everywhere in the city were too troublesome when purchasing, so they moved all the workshops to one place, and called that part of the city the craftsman's workshop.

However, there are also rumors that the county warden did this in order to facilitate the collection of taxes and money.

But for later generations, for whatever purpose, it was indeed a good thing, at least now Liu Chan was particularly pleased with it, preferring the theory that the county was a visionary Magi.

Most of the purchasing places in Wuyang City and even the surrounding villages, counties and cities are this craftsman's workshop, and the weather is sunny at this time, the time is just right, and when Liu Chan comes here, it is not overcrowded, but it is also in line with the artistic conception of the word busy.

Compared with other industries, papermaking is really a partial door, Cai Lun, who invented papermaking, was born in the late Han Dynasty, even now, it has not been long, thousands of years of habit of using bamboo slips has not changed, and the paper made is rough, except for writing, there is no other use, which is like the later generations there are wet wipes, toilet paper, facial paper and many types.

When Liu Chan walked into this remote and dark small workshop, he suddenly had a sense of déjà vu of a black-hearted workshop.

"Shopkeeper, here's a visitor!" The little worker at the door saw the figures of Liu Chan and the old housekeeper Ding Xun with sharp eyes, and ran in and shouted.

After a while, a rush of footsteps came from the inside out, and through the light penetrating from outside the house, Liu Chan clearly saw this person's outfit.

Although there is no brocade clothes, it is clean and spotless, and the beard on the face is cleaned quite cleanly, which is quite rare in this era, and the hair is square, showing a kind of uprightness.

In short, this person is a gentleman's portrait.

While Liu Chan was looking at the shopkeeper, the middle-aged man named Yu Dan was also looking at him.

He did recognize Ding Xun, the old housekeeper beside Liu Chan, the old man who had purchased a large amount of paper from him last time, and seemed to be the steward of the extraordinarily dressed young man in front of him.

He immediately bowed his hand, "I've seen my lord." ”

Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly returned the salute, and then asked: "I heard that Mr. is an expert in papermaking here, and he also knows a lot about paper, so I came to visit and discuss one or two." “

The shopkeeper Yu Dan didn't react, but when the old housekeeper Ding Xun heard it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the young master was really talented and could make achievements in any aspect.

"The villain is just a craftsman, how can he be with the adult, but if the adult is interested in the skill of the small artificial paper, the villain is willing to introduce one or two to the adult."

Yu Dan bowed his hand again, and his words did not leak, he has been a businessman for many years, and he has long learned how to deal with these pretentious children of the family.

Obviously, Liu Chan's words and deeds, coupled with his appearance and age, once again made him inexplicably beaten into the team of gentlemen.
