Chapter 21 Papermaking Achievements (I)
The size of this village can only be regarded as medium, but this is only on the land of Bingzhou, in fact, looking at the construction of their houses, it is roughly estimated that the population that can accommodate is about 100 households, and the total population is estimated to be less than 500 people based on the average of four people per household.
And for these villagers, although it is located near the county seat of Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, it is obvious that there are still very few places where a big man like Lu Bu and his party are riding a high-headed horse, and at first glance, it is still a great figure for them, let alone looking at the target, it is still their village.
A large group of frolicking children took the lead in running over, they were undoubtedly the most curious about new things, and they were even more afraid of tigers in newborn calves, so at this time, there was no fear in the first feeling, and they even flocked over one by one, shouting excitedly and looking at Lu Bu and others.
The immature voice, the youthful face, and the curious and pure gaze all made Lu Bu and the others unbearable to hurt them, that is, Dian Wei, who looked fierce and vicious on the battlefield, and his eyes were soft at the moment, which made Lu Bu not expect, but thinking about it, it was time to think about the major events of his life for Dian Wei, he can be regarded as an "older youth" now, and he is almost the oldest unmarried man in Lu Bu's army, of course, this is all later.
was blocked by these children, Lu Bu was not annoyed, let everyone stop first, but stood in place and let these children mess around, but he didn't do anything, but he scared the villagers half to death, where can this kind of person be provoked, these children are too nonsense, but they are naturally reluctant to let their children suffer from unjustified disasters. So after the first one rushed out to bring his children back, and Lu Bu and the others did not make any further moves, more and more parents of the villagers immediately ran out one by one to pull their children or simply hugged them back, and in the process, they didn't even dare to take a second look at Lu Bu and his party.
Lu Bu was amused in his heart, but he didn't seem to care about what happened just now, just in the curious and awe-inspiring eyes of the people in the village, he led the group to start again, and continued to march into the depths of the village.
to this place at this time. Lu Bucai took the initiative to stop. And Jia Xu, Chen Gong and the others naturally stopped behind him, but except for Jia Xu, who still remained calm, Chen Gong and the others all looked at the building in front of them with a look of surprise.
There is nothing nice about the house itself, first of all, it is surrounded by heavy guards. If you haven't been in contact with war or military affairs, it may be difficult for you to find out. After all, the guards around the house were specially camouflaged. It's like the people in this village, this house has been stored for so long and there are many suspicious places, but it has not attracted their attention. However, they saw at a glance that this was not ordinary.
Not to mention the well-hidden figures on the surrounding big trees, it is the people who seem to be ordinary villagers around, looking at their eyes and movements, you can know that it is not simple.
It's just that this doubt can only be hidden in his stomach first, and Lu Bu didn't say a word, he didn't plan to explain to them at all, he just got off his horse and walked to the front of the house.
Those guards in the dark didn't even cast a vigilant gaze, obviously they should know Lu Bu and know his identity, so they didn't stop it.
At this time, Jia Xu, Chen Gong and others also dismounted, and as Lu Bu walked inside, this mysterious place finally gradually revealed its secrets to them.
The courtyard outside is not big, but it is full of things, and what makes everyone curious is that in addition to some strange things, there are some papers that they are not unfamiliar with, and the light is the feeling at first glance, that is, this paper is very comfortable, not only the eye color, but also the brilliance reflected in the sun's light, the smoothness of the surface is beyond doubt, but I don't know how to write on it.
But this is already a glance at Chen Gong and several people, and they are amazed.
They don't feel strange to paper, after all, this was created by the people as early as the Western Han Dynasty, and then there was Cai Lun's improvement, but the defects are still obvious, many times they would rather use cloth than paper, but the paper here gives them a different feeling, and in fact, the paper that Lu Bu took out when he made personnel arrangements last time has been remembered by many people, and at the same time, he is also curious, looking at this now, it seems that the quality is better than the last time.
It's just that Lu Bu turned a blind eye to the things in this courtyard, and still didn't say much, and continued to move forward, so everyone could only shut up and continue to suppress the doubts in their hearts and follow in.
When the group walked through the outer courtyard, as soon as they entered the house, a hot air rushed to their faces, almost instantly making their foreheads sweat, but after the initial discomfort, they gradually got used to it, although the environment was not good, but it was not so bad that people could not stand it.
And at this time, they have the energy to see the scene inside.
The transpiring mist filled the entire space, which had a certain impact on their vision, but they could still see the figures inside, these people were wearing coarse linen shirts, and they were also sweating profusely, and their movements did not stop, and they did not stop when they were not blacksmiths striking iron, carpenters cutting wood, these craftsmen seemed very silent when they were doing things, not only did they not make any sound in their mouths, but they also did not make any movement in their hands.
And everyone only vaguely saw that there seemed to be a large object inside, and they couldn't see the specific structure clearly, and they naturally didn't feel familiar with this kind of thing, but they just felt that what the craftsmen did revolved around this big object.
Looking at the craftsmen who were going back and forth, all working with tools they didn't know, an idea immediately popped up in everyone's hearts: this is a workshop!
It's just that none of them can say why it is, but they vaguely feel that it should have something to do with the paper outside.
At this moment, one of the middle-aged men with fat heads and big ears mixed with those craftsmen squeezed out of the busy crowd, and as soon as he saw Lu Bu, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and said with low eyebrows: "Wen Hou, you are here, why don't you notify me in advance." ”
Lu Bu glanced at him, and saw that his clothes were also soaked with sweat, especially on his brain, which looked oily and shiny, which was slightly disgusting, but Lu Bu naturally would not be so superficial, he knew that this person was doing things for himself, and he was very dedicated, and he did have some ability, for such a person Lu Bu never hesitated to show his gentle attitude, so he smiled at the person and said, "Zixuan, thank you for your hard work." ”
"No hard work, no hard work...... The obese middle-aged man hurriedly shook his head like a rattle to show his resoluteness, but with that fat head, it made people feel a little funny.
And at this time, the other craftsmen also noticed Lu Bu here, and turned around one after another, saluting him respectfully, obviously knowing his identity, and it would not be the first time they met.
This scene made Chen Gong and the others even more confused...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
