Shanglin Yuan is more than 300 miles long, but the military camp of the period gate is in the palace of Shanglin Yuan, which is not too far from Chang'an City.

The military camp of the period gate is heavily guarded, and the two arrow towers at the camp gate stand tall, giving people a feeling of being discouraged from afar.

"This is an important place in the military camp, and idlers are not allowed to approach!" Huo Guang led a few people to the front of the barracks on horseback, but someone on the arrow tower soon shouted loudly, and Huo Guang felt that several arrows were already aimed at him.

However, these periods of the gate army are not enough to release arrows casually, the Western Han Dynasty is still a relatively legal society anyway, it is impossible to kill people indiscriminately, and there is no difference between riding a horse in this era and driving a luxury car in later generations.

"This official is here on the order of His Majesty, this is His Majesty's Tiger Talisman. Hurry up and let your servants shoot to see this officer! Huo Guang sat on the horse, took out the tiger talisman from his arms and raised it and said.

"Please wait, sir!" Soon a voice answered from above the arrow tower.

In the Western Han Dynasty, servant shooting was still a relatively general official position, and it did not refer to a specific position. In the Western Han Dynasty, the servant shot is the meaning of the supervisor, and the period of the door servant shot refers to the director of the period gate army. However, although the period gate army is the emperor's pro-army, the current establishment is not high, and the highest period gate servant is only ranked more than a thousand stones.

Soon the camp was wide open, and then a group of cavalry poured out of the camp gate and stopped their horses in front of Huo Guang. There were only a dozen cavalry members in this group, and the first one was wearing leather armor, which should be the shooting of the servants of the period.

"In the next issue, the doorman shoots Zhang Mu, please show the tiger talisman." The leader arched his hand on the horse and said, and at the same time, he also took out half a bronze tiger talisman from his arms.

The tiger talisman is a special talisman, and the period gate army is the tiger talisman of the period gate army, the half of the tiger talisman held by Huo Guang can only mobilize the period gate army, and the other half of the tiger talisman in the shooter of the period can only be consistent with the tiger talisman in Huo Guang's hand. And on the back of each tiger talisman is engraved with an inscription, indicating the scope of action of the tiger talisman.

Huo Guang urged him to take a few steps immediately, and then handed out the tiger talisman in his hand. Zhang Mu took the tiger talisman and put the two pieces of tiger together, and sure enough, Huo Guang saw that the two halves of the tiger talisman were perfectly put together, and he couldn't even see any traces of the connection, it seemed that this was a whole.

In this way, it is naturally confirmed, and Huo Guang also has to sigh at the level of the Han people's metal production technology. In this era when there are no precision instruments, it is very good to be able to do this to such an extent.

"Adults, please!" Zhang Mu returned Huo Guang's half of the tiger talisman, then made way of the road, led towards the barracks, and invited Huo Guang to enter.

"Hmm." Huo Guang put away the tiger talisman, didn't say anything, and took a few people who came to ride into the camp gate first. However, as soon as he passed the gate, Huo Guang stopped his horse. It is forbidden to ride a horse in the barracks, this rule already existed in the Western Han Dynasty, and Huo Guang didn't want to violate the military regulations as soon as he came.

"Zhang Mu, on the orders of His Majesty, order all 1,000 men and horses to hand over to the official, and order these 1,000 men and horses to camp outside the Sanjue Temple, and the rest of the things will be ordered by the official." Huo Guang instructed Zhang Mu in the tent of the period gate army, because what Huo Guang was going to do was very secret, and it was impossible for the thousand-period gate army to continue to be in the barracks, so Huo Guang asked these people to find another place to set up camp.

There are dozens of palace views in the forest garden in the forest garden, among which the thirty-six gardens, the twelve palaces, and the thirty-five views all have different uses, and the view is mainly a place for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to play, such as the horse view, the fish and bird view, the white deer view, etc. And this Sanjue Guan is a relatively special place, here is not a place for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to play, but a place for monarchs and ministers to drink.

However, this drinking is also a very particular place, strictly speaking, it should be a place for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and important ministers to taste wine. Because there is a saying in ancient times, 'The courtiers serve the king's banquet, and the three lords are rude." It means that the emperor gives a banquet, and the courtiers can only drink three glasses of wine, and if they have more, it becomes a booze, which is rudeness. This Sanjue View is actually a place for wine tasting, and it is also a place for treasured good wines.

The reason why Huo Guang chose this place is that there are few people going here, and this place is located in the northwest of Chang'an City, and the terrain is slightly higher than Chang'an City. Through these observations, Huo Guang found that the northwest wind really blows in Chang'an.

To create a scene of Chang'an Weiyang, Huo Guang actually couldn't arrange Kong Ming lanterns in Chang'an City, because it would be too easy to attract the attention of others, and it would be completely meaningless to make everyone know about it when the time came. And outside Chang'an City, then the terrain and wind direction are the primary factors that must be considered, and the Sanjue View is the best place selected by Huo Guang.

The efficiency of the army was very high, and in less than a quarter of an hour a thousand men and horses were assembled. Then Huo Guang took the thousand people to find an open space near the Sanjueguan and stationed them, and Huo Guang ordered the whole battalion to be on guard, and no one was allowed to approach this temporary military camp.

"This official is Chang'an Ling Huo Guang, and now he is doing a confidential matter at the behest of His Majesty, and everything that happens from now on must not be leaked, even your parents, wives and children are not allowed, otherwise not only you, but even your family will get into trouble because of this. But you don't have to worry, as long as you do what Your Majesty ordered, it will be a great achievement, and this official will definitely ask for credit for you in front of Your Majesty. In short, you should remember one thing, no matter what the official asks you to do during this time, you don't ask why, just do what you are told! After setting up camp, Huo Guang gathered the thousand-phase gate army and began to mobilize and lecture, of course, the focus is to control the mouths of these people. Huo Guang also knew how to combine grace and power, even to make these soldiers realize the seriousness of the matter, and not forget to promise some benefits.

"No!" The 1,000 soldiers of the period gate shouted in unison, the biggest advantage of these people is their loyalty to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because at the beginning of the establishment of the army of the period gate, it is the loyalty of these people that is focused on cultivating, as long as Huo Guang pulls out the banner of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, these soldiers are as energetic as chicken blood.

This is the first time that Huo Guang has faced so many soldiers for his own command, although this is not on the battlefield, but Huo Guang was also shocked by this roar, and instantly felt a sense of power. No wonder no matter what dynasty, only those who hold the power of the military have the real right to speak.

Huo Guang calmed down, and then continued: "The whole army obeys the order, from now on, this official wants you to cut down a hundred trees and five hundred bamboos in the Shanglin Garden, and you are only allowed to eat after you are done!" ”

Under the puzzled gaze of the thousand-phase gate army, Huo Guang gave the first order. But before these people came back to their senses, Huo Guang untied the sword at his waist and continued to shout: "Zhen Youcai." “

"The subordinates are here." Zhen Youcai bowed down and responded.

"This official is going to enter the palace to meet His Majesty at this moment, I will order you to supervise this place, if there is a passive slacking person, you will use this sword given by the general to the hussar general to kill him, this matter cannot be mistaken!" Huo Guang handed the sword to Zhen Youcai with both hands, of course he didn't really want to see Emperor Wu of Han, just to make these soldiers feel that this was really an order from Emperor Wu of Han.

And this sword that Wei Qing gave to Huo Quai's illness is known to many soldiers, and when they see that this is really the sword that the two military gods of the Han Dynasty used to have, they believe Huo Guang's words even more, although they feel that this order is still a little inexplicable, but there is indeed a trace of tension invisibly.

Of course, this is exactly what Huo Guang wants, because ten days of papermaking is not enough, and it takes half a month for the next batch of paper to be manufactured in the normal process, even if Huo Guang manufactures according to the minimum standard, ten days is very tense, not to mention the process of manufacturing Kong Ming lanterns.

Felling wood is used to make paper, while cutting bamboo is used to make the skeleton of Kong Ming lanterns. Now Huo Guang handed over the matter here to Zhen Youcai, and he himself went back to draw the process of making paper, and some necessary facilities, such as the slurry pond or something, also needed him to draw drawings, and then build them in this temporary barracks.

Time is tight, and the only good thing is that none of this is technical. As long as there is someone to guide you, there is no situation where you can't do it.

In the afternoon of the same day, Huo Guang returned to Chang'an City and went to the county government first. Huo Guang didn't care about the situation of the county government, but first asked the county Cheng Zhang Ji to find a few craftsmen with experience in making linen, because this kind of people in this era can barely be regarded as a group of people who know the papermaking process. Although Huo Guang knew the general process of papermaking in later generations, he would definitely not be able to rely on him alone, so he also needed these skilled workers to help. Fortunately, these people only participated in the paper-making process when they went to Sanjueguan, and they didn't know what the paper was made for, so it didn't have much impact on the secrecy of the whole thing.

Huo Guang spent the whole day busy, and he didn't have time to rest at night, although he thought that the process of making paper was very simple, but when Huo Guang started drawing, he found that it was not as easy as he imagined, but fortunately, it took a whole night, and a few drawings that could barely be understood were still drawn.

As soon as the gate of Chang'an City opened, Huo Guang took a dozen or so hemp workers to Shanglin Yuan. As soon as he entered the Sanjueguan camp, Huo Guang saw that a pile of wood and bamboo had been piled up in a corner of the camp, which was really easy for these soldiers to do coolies.

Huo Guang didn't talk nonsense, it can be said that he was racing against time to gather the soldiers and start a new task arrangement. This time, the main thing was to build the facilities necessary for making paper, such as bubble tanks and pulp pounding tanks, in the camp. In the end, these facilities were built thanks to the dozen or so hemp workers.

Because many of the procedures for making hemp are similar to those for papermaking, and hemp making also needs to be soaked first, so to build these facilities, these workers can still come in handy, plus Huo Guang's drawings, a simple papermaking facility was completed in half a day.

Then the trunk is peeled and soaked, because Huo Guang in order to shorten the time of papermaking and improve the toughness of the paper, only the bark is used, the bark fiber content is between 60% and 83%, and the fiber is very long, so the paper made is extremely tough, this paper is the most suitable for making Kong Ming lanterns.

With Huo Guang's drawings and the cooperation of the hemp workers, the entire barracks was like a large paper mill, and the work began in full swing that evening. It is worth mentioning that when those hemp workers understood Huo Guang's intentions and methods, they praised Huo Guang's method for creating a precedent. One of them, Lu Shu, also bluntly said that this paper-making method is a considerable way to make money.

Lu Shu's words made Huo Guang's heart move, although he didn't know how to make any glass, but in this era, it is indeed a good way to make money by promoting low-priced, convenient and applicable paper.
