In October of the second year of Jian'an, it was the commander of the festival to restore Chang'an, Li Dao, and then the generals were in civil strife, Lu Bu killed the horses, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng, etc., and chased the horses to the right to help the wind, and the Guanzhong was in chaos. It was Xun Nai who made Jia Xu lead the army to pacify Guanzhong, and went north to Feng Yiya County, Zuo, to defeat Liang Xing, who refused to obey his fate, and beheaded him.

In mid-November, Lü Bu defeated Ma Teng twice at Weishui and Wuyueshan, and Ma Teng fled west to Liangzhou, and Lü Bu also followed the trail. By the end of November, Guanzhong had finally been completely pacified, and it was Xun who planned to return to the court.

Shi Xun had previously signed You Yin as the left Feng Yi, Wei Duan as Jing Zhaoyin, and Su Ze as the right Fufeng, in addition to visiting local clans and Confucian celebrities, and serving as the county commander and chief, which is the proper meaning of the title. He left Sima Yi, Zhang Ji, and Wei Dan by his side, and planned to take them back to Xuchang and recommend them directly to Cao Cao.

Sima Yi still wanted to leave and return to Hanoi, but was left behind by Shi Xunqiang - just kidding, it's already out, do you still want to escape?

In his busy time, Shixun finally had the opportunity to let Wei Dan lead him to visit the craftsman who could make paper. Before that, Wei Dan first offered two catties of good paper, and Shi Xun took out one to take a look, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In his original thought, no matter how good the quality of the paper in these years is, how good can it be? But look at the hemp paper in his hand, one foot four long, eight inches wide, slightly larger than the ordinary plate, the color is slightly yellow, the fibers are faintly visible, but the texture is quite soft and symmetrical. took Wei Danjin's self-made new ink, picked up the pen and wrote a few words, and almost regained the feeling of practicing calligraphy with cheap students in the previous life.

I didn't expect that the papermaking technology in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was so ...... However, it is sad to think about it, that is, nearly two thousand years later, in fact, the progress of craftsmanship has been extremely limited, and it is not as fast as the exhibition in the ten to twenty years of the twentieth century.

Immediately, he picked up this piece of paper with two fingers and asked Wei Dan: "What is the price?" Wei Dan replied: "Fifty dollars a catty." "It's Xun pinching his fingers and doing some mental arithmetic—this algorithm is something he learned after he wore it in this life—oh, it's almost a dollar a piece, and the cost has to go down.

immediately asked Wei Dan to lead him to the papermaking workshop. It turned out that the place was not far from Chang'an, in the theater pavilion east of Xinfeng, more than 100 miles. The two of them hurried and arrived in only half a day. There is a large family surnamed Qian in the territory of the Xiting, and the family background is not high, but three generations of business, the family is rich, recruited craftsmen, and opened such a small workshop.

Wei Dan is a regular customer of the Qian family's workshop. He was very familiar with the head of the Qian family, and as soon as he announced, a fat guy ran out to greet him, saying: "Villain Qian Ba, please meet the waiter." "It's Xun Xin who said that it's money and baht (a unit of weight, but the most common money in this year is called five baht). How greedy your father must be to give his son such a name!

The identities of the two are as different as a world of difference, so Shixun is not polite to Qian Ba, and the horsewhip is gently shaken: "I want to see the Ru Paper Workshop, you can lead me there." Qian Ba was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he was full of wonder, if you want to say that this waiter likes to use paper. That's easy to do, I donate seven or eight catties every year, and I can afford to waste it, if the court wants to use paper, it is a good deal with rolling money. But Wei Dan often comes to buy paper, and there are many Confucian scholars who love to use paper nearby.

So he turned his head to look at Wei Dan. Wei Dan glared at him, which means: You don't care what Shangguan's intentions are, if he wants to see, can you stop it? Lead the way.

Qian Baht had no choice but to lead Shi Xun and Wei Dan to the paper mill. Yeshun knows the general process of papermaking, which is to mash hemp or other raw materials and rot them. Add lime, and I don't know how to do it, so I make it into pulp, and then use a mold to bleach the pulp into paper. But it makes sense. He couldn't find a papermaker for many years, and when he had nothing to do, he picked up some old linen cloth in his yard to experiment, but the woman named "Failed" never conceived a "successful" child......

Qian Ba led Shixun to visit the papermaking workshop, while giving a brief introduction to the process, it turned out that the raw materials such as hemp rope and linen cloth should be soaked and chopped, and then soaked in lime water and then steamed, and then washed, pounded into mud, added water to make a slurry, and finally used the bamboo mold to copy, dry and form, before and after, a total of 11 processes.

The more he looked at it, the happier he became, and after seeing that he was led into the main hall by Qian Baht and served wine, he opened his mouth and asked: "How many craftsmen are used in this workshop, and how much paper can be produced?" When Qian Baht heard this, he was slightly happy in his heart—it seems that this lord was indeed ordered by the imperial court to purchase in large quantities—and hurriedly replied: "In the villain's workshop, there are twenty-one craftsmen, and the monthly output of hemp paper is 250 catties and more than 10 catties of paper. As he spoke, he ordered someone to take samples of several kinds of paper and give them to Shixun.

The hemp paper of the Qian family is divided into upper, middle and lower grades: the top grade sells for fifty yuan, which is the same kind as the one that Wei Dan dedicated to Shixun; The price of the medium product is 30 yuan, the softness is not enough, and it is more difficult to write and use; The price of the next product is fifteen yuan, and it can basically only be used as inferior wrapping paper. In addition, there is a piece of paper, which is made of the skin of the tree, and it is said that the person who explained it is the famous Cai Lun, which is characterized by the color of white, not as yellowish as hemp paper, and is sold for 100 yuan per catty.

Of course, these are the original prices, the money baht said, a purchase of more than 100 catties, can be discounted.

It was Xunxin who said that the output was really low, so he asked casually: "Are there many paper users in Guanzhong?" Why don't you call in no more men and increase your production? Qian Baht bowed as well: "The villain's current production is enough to supply the sergeants and the common people, if the court wants to buy, you must first pay the goods, the villain's capital is low, if there is no input, you can't increase the production." ”

It's Xunxin who said that money comes first, and you think beautifully! After taking a sip of the sour village moromi, he said to Qian Baht with a kind expression: "The imperial court will buy a large number of them, and the opportunity for your wealth has come!" Although, here is far away from Xudu, if you add the freight, I am afraid that it will cost more than 200 yuan per catty, which is too expensive. Why don't you move the workshop to the vicinity of Xudu, what do you want? ”

Qian Ba was shocked when he heard this, knelt down and kowtowed: "The villain's homeland is difficult to leave, and he really doesn't want to move away." Besides, now that the service has swept away the evil spirits, and the bottom is settled, the villain is feeling the kindness of the servant, and wants to live a few good lives, how can he relocate? Please forgive me. ”

Shi Xun originally planned to spend more time persuading him, but after thinking about it, I am a dignified 2,000 stones, and I have soldiers and horses in my hands, and I am only facing a rich man in the countryside, so why should I be too polite to him? At the moment, he sneered: "You have two ways to go, one is to sell the workshop to me at a discount and move to Xudu, and the other is to move to Xuxia with your family." Where to go, choose for yourself! After saying this, he glanced at Wei Dan next to him: "This matter will be handed over to the middle general, don't lose my hope." "Get up and go.

Wei Dan is very happy, he originally planned to go to Xuchang with Shixun to work, and now he can move the papermaking workshop over, so he doesn't have to worry about using paper in the future - paper is a thing, although there are not many people who love to use it, but once it is used, it is really easy to become addicted, and he is used to writing on paper, and then he writes on bamboo and wood, and it feels completely different, especially jerky.

Wei Zhongjiang was also a capable official at that time, not a corrupt Confucian who could just read dead books and write calligraphy, after Xun left, he even bluffed and deceived, bargained, and finally spent only 13,000 yuan, and took the entire papermaking workshop away with the pot. Qian Ba was reluctant to workshop, but he didn't dare to offend Shixun, and he was reluctant to leave his hometown, anyway, he still had a lot of industry in the theater, not only this papermaking, so he hesitated again and again, and was forced to agree.

If he refuses to agree, it is estimated that Wei Dan will invite the county soldiers to force him to comply.

After Wei Dan finished dedicating the twenty-one paper-making craftsmen, as well as some of the tools that must be used and easy to relocate, to Shixun for free, thinking that although the Wei family is not very rich, this little capital can still be afforded.

Shi Xun was overjoyed and praised repeatedly: "General Zhong is sensitive, I have it!" "The heart says that I am taking a bribe? It seems that he has been a human being in two lives, but this is the first time he has taken a bribe - the money given by Cao Cao and the money sent by Liu Biao before, of course, can't be counted!

At the end of this year, Shi Xun led Xiahou Yuan's department and Jia Xu's department to return to Xuchang in triumph. Immediately, Jia Xu was appointed as the ruling Jinwu, guarding the imperial capital, worshiping Shangshu Cheng Yu as Henan Yin, and governing the scholar Yu Shi Wei as the Hongnong County Guard-poor Baba Duan Xuan was still not dead with a sigh of relief, so he had to be carried back to raise Xu Durong.

Yesun brought back a few talents, Sima Yi entered the Sikong Mansion for Peng, Zhang Ji and Wei Dan were willing to stay as guests for the time being, and they could make up for the long shortage when there was an order in Jin. Lu Su was promoted to the imperial history of the secretary because of his merits, and Wu recommended him as the order of Yanling - Yanling is in the north of Xudu, which is a big county in Jinei.

It was Xun Yuan who was the official of Guanzhong, and the three county guards were all recognized by the imperial court, and the county magistrates and commanders only replaced two of them—Shi Xun estimated that Cao Cao was trying to show his own existence, not that he was dissatisfied with his appointment. Cao Cao selected two subordinate officials from the Sikong Mansion to take up their posts in Guanzhong, and the two of them were not dismissed, but were recruited into the Sikong Mansion as Peng, and there was a change of general.

It was Xun who slandered Cao Cao, but after thinking about it carefully, I had to admit that Cao Cao was really right. Almost all of the posts in Guanzhong that he signed were locals (at most Linjun), and with locals as local officials, it was inevitable that the influence of the imperial court would be weakened over time.

Feel free to mix with it, these people are recommended and selected by me, and by my grace, they will be natural party reserves in the future, whether they are placed in the place or summoned in the capital, they can also enhance my own strength and speech. Shi Xun didn't have any ambitions, and he didn't really want to form a gang - if he wanted to do this under Cao Cao's nose, did he think he didn't live long enough? However, officialdom is like this, and implicit influence must be pursued, otherwise he will be gradually marginalized and eventually kicked out of the inner circle. Do you think that everyone can be like Jia Wenhe, and if you deliberately don't form a party, you can always be a high-ranking official, and you have to ride a horse?

It was Xun who was a half-nerd in his previous life, and he has seen a lot in the troubled times in this life, and he has been mixed in officialdom for a long time, but he is no longer naïve.
