Nanshan is also known as Zhongnan Mountain, a high mountain in the north of the Qinling Mountains, the northern foot of Nanshan is a grassland of wide forests, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, the trees are densely hidden many wild animals, the ordinary wild boars, bison, goats, hares, sika deer are not attractive, jackals, tigers, leopards, black bears, wild boars are a little challenging, cross the Qinling Mountains in the southern foothills, you can also meet herds of rhinoceros and elephants, there are many wild animals that are countless, come here to graze and also hunt by the way.

"This year's snow is more and more urgent than in previous years, and the weather here is warm and humid and easier to survive the winter than on the grassland, so the winter grass stored in the farm should also be spared." Gan led the horse to graze beside the South Mountain, and the young children of the village led the hunting dog to hunt in the mountain.

His eldest son, Gan Yanlu, was sixteen years old, and according to the rules of the Xiongnu, he was already an adult who had started a family, and he lived separately from his father early in Nanzhuang, and the horse he was holding was his own personal property.

"Daddy, it's snowing so hard this year, and it's a difficult winter for the Huns, I don't know how many cattle and sheep will freeze to death this year."

Father Gan glared at him: "Don't mention the past again, we will be authentic Han people in the future!" ”

"But after all, we are Huns, we grew up under the blue sky and white clouds since we were children, we look up to worship the immortal sky, and it is the prairie that raises us."

Father Gan's eyes suddenly burst into a violent red light: "Do you remember how your grandma was killed?" I will never forget that night for the rest of my life, the elite under the account of King Luhou attacked our tribe, the men were killed and the women were reduced to slaves, the despicable guy wanted to insult your grandma but was bitten off half of her ear, the embarrassed and angry King Luhou made a killer, we couldn't stop the elite army of King Luhou, only desperately ran non-stop, how many people died along the way, do you remember? Until we were lucky enough to cross the Gobi and escape into the border counties of the Han region, we were captured by the Han army. ”

Gan Yanlu lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, only more than 50 people from their tribe of more than 800 people escaped, if it weren't for the fact that some women were rescued at the beginning, the rest of them probably didn't even have thirty people, only he and his eldest sister escaped alive among the five brothers and sisters, and the younger brothers and sisters were either killed or taken away as slaves, maybe there would be no chance to meet again in this life.

"Don't mention the Xiongnu again, remember that we will be Han people in the future, even if the Han people say that we are Huns, it doesn't matter, don't you like the daughter of the Zheng family? As a father, you will propose marriage to the Zheng family, and when you have the next generation, no one will say that you are a Huns, and that your descendants are Huns. ”

Father Gan has made up his mind to integrate into this thriving empire, and he no longer wants to mention the sadness of the Xiongnu's homeland, if he needs to take up arms against the Huns one day, he believes that he will raise his butcher's knife against his former kindred, because he has broken with those indifferent kinds!

This heavy snow is just a small trouble for the huge Chang'an City, the traffic and the timely warning of the imperial court will resolve the danger to the lowest point, for the farms outside the city is not so simple, Neishi County continues to send reports that the houses in the counties were crushed and stoned to death, and I don't know what the three princes and nine kings are busy.

Cao Shi's recent leisure, the "Treatise on the Death of Qin" set the cause of the fall of the Qin Empire, but did not make any comments on the lessons of the demise, under the question of the prince Liu Che, Yun said lightly: "The pre-Qin historians did not say it, and the ministers yearned for it." ”

Liu Che hurriedly shook his face angrily to scare him, but was pushed back by Cao Shi's words: "The minister heard that Wang Zang studied under the world-famous Qin Confucian Shen Peigong, and the Confucian students all over the world took Wang Zang as the Confucian teacher to be an official in the imperial court, and the former minister inadvertently offended the prince and young master, and the guide Wang Zang was dismissed from the official position and returned to his hometown, cutting off the road to the promotion of many Confucian students, and the Confucian students in the world hated the ministers to the bone, and the "Treatise on the Death of Qin" was still attacked by the Confucian scholars. ”

The young prince was dumbfounded, the imperial technique taught by the Son of Heaven had never been a discipline in the ideological field, and he didn't understand anything like a sinner with a mixed reputation in history, so he was stunned for a long time and gave up.

After a few months, the papermaker presented the new paper, with the latest development of coating technology, the material used is Cao Shi from the Hou State brought back kaolin powder, from the coal mountain dug out of the coal gangue is the raw material of this kaolin, because the coal gangue is the associated ore of coal, so the reserves are very amazing, this kaolin digging out can not be used directly, there is rarely a small amount of carbon in it dark color, must be fully burned into calcined kaolin to achieve the effect of white talcum powder.

As early as when Coal Mountain 6 continued to appear, Cao Shi asked Uncle Chen, who was guarding Hou Guo, to convey an order that all the coal gangue dug out in Hou Guo should be mixed with coal as fuel, and the burned coal stone was ground into powder with stone to be calcined kaolin powder, which was used as a filler and whitening agent for coating, and the effect was very good.

The coated paper offered by the papermakers is as white as snow, the coating of kaolin powder is combined with the base paper to improve the surface strength, and has a better acceptance of ink, the coating surface feels very smooth and bright, even if the bamboo paper with poor quality can also be coated to improve the strength and finish, the fly in the ointment is that the artificial coating is uneven, how much will make the surface uneven, and some paper will also have local powder drops.

Although there are such and such shortcomings, but the resulting product is still unexpectedly excellent, Cao Shi encouraged a few words, instructed: "I will let Lu Buxian help you design an iron hand crumble, the coated paper while the heat is not dissipated, change to the roller to roll a few times, the uneven surface is compacted, you can make a more perfect paper!" You are doing a good job, each apprentice is rewarded with a thousand dollars, the craftsman is worth three thousand dollars, and each of you is five thousand dollars. ”

The craftsmen left happily, and Fan Qiguang walked in again and whispered a few words, put down a letter and retreated.

Holding the letter and looking at it at a glance, he suddenly said in surprise: "What? Zhang Wuhou said that I don't want to give money to the land by the Wei River, as long as I hand over the paper-making recipe? ”

Cao Shi almost crooked his mouth, Zhang Wuhou Dou was very interesting, looking at the broad prospects of the paper industry, he would rather give up hundreds of millions of dollars of land to get the papermaking recipe, and he was thinking about making a big sum of money to earn back the cost of investment.

"The prince must not agree!"

"Why can't you say yes?"

Fan Qiguang was stunned for a moment: "Because this is the exclusive enjoyment created by the prince's hard work, it is forced to dedicate it to the Son of Heaven, who else can force the prince to take out this party?" ”

Cao Shi shook his head and disagreed, there is no patent guarantee that it can be taxed for fifty years in these years, and the leakage of a technology must be passed on to ten, and ten to hundreds until the world knows the mystery.

At first glance, it seems that if it is not leaked out, the Pingyang Hou Mansion can enjoy the dividends of papermaking alone, but this is definitely not the case.

The ancients were not stupid but very smart, even if the vision was narrow, it did not affect the normal education of intelligence, the benefits of papermaking but anyone with a normal mind will appear, just say that this lower cost and easier to carry is enough to impress more people, many children who originally did not have the opportunity to acquire knowledge can buy cheap paper to read and write, the importance of the Han family is self-evident.

Noting the convenience of papermaking, some people will do everything possible to seek a way to transfer technology in the Hou Mansion, coerce and induce, ask the Son of Heaven to give it, or buy the Hou Mansion family to steal secretly, no matter which one of them is used on the Hou Mansion, it will make the Pingyang Hou Mansion unpeaceful, and from then on, the people in the Hou Mansion will be panicked, and the originally stable and honest servants will also have different hearts, so it is better to throw the hot potato out.

And people are self-interested impulses, brothers in order to point the family property quarrel and break the head of the big people, not to mention the papermaking such a promising emerging industry, after all, people travel thousands of miles to seek wealth, not to give the way to live is not to give the way to live, the light is to hurt the peace of the nobles of Chang'an, the heavy is to turn the face into an enemy but the gains outweigh the losses.

The difference between the Han family and Yidi lies in the high level of civilization, the Han people have a variety of ways to inherit civilization such as writing, books, paintings, etc., and papermaking technology makes the spread of civilization faster and wider.

Cao Shi explained: "Papermaking is too important for the Han family, even if I have the heart to cherish the broom, he will gradually open up the papermaking technology to the people, and the papermaking technology is not a military secret, even if it can't be imitated, you can ask the Son of Heaven to transfer a few papermaking craftsmen from Shaofu, and at that time it will still not be able to keep the recipe." ”

Fan It was widely frightened by the harm of the rules and regulations, and his face was blue, papermaking is different from the anti-rust iron technology mastered by Houfu, the imitation iron furnace, kettle, and iron pot on the market are flooded, the structure of the iron furnace is so simple, it can be made by pouring with delicate clay molds, and the refractory technology is not a particularly rare thing, in addition to the unique anti-rust technology of Houfu can not be imitated, and papermaking is very different, the shape and structure of the paper alone cannot be imitated, such an important technology is not disclosed, It will only leave a bad impression on the world as greedy and selfish.

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Fan Qiguang made the right choice and reluctantly agreed to hand over the papermaking technology in exchange for 500 hectares of fertile land on the edge of the Wei River.

Cao Shi muttered: "You can change it, but you must not be cheap This Zhang Wuhou, a few days ago, you can move the things you arranged, I heard that the recent snow disaster in Guanzhong has also affected several villages on the edge of the Wei River, you go to check the situation and how the loss is, and strive to give Zhang Wuhou a great gift." ”
