After Mo Chen withdrew those beauties, Jade Tiger opened the wooden box on the low table with excitement on his face. Baidu search search search search does not get lost
The wooden box is made of fine mahogany, and the overall shape is boxy, and there are not too many decorative lines, and its length is about a few feet. When the wooden box was opened, the treasure inside was revealed, which had excited the Emerald Tiger.
I saw that the layer inside was obviously uneven, and even had a little yellow paper.
Mo Chen looked at the paper in the wooden box, his eyes showing a look of disappointment.
According to the ancient law, it takes about 100 days to make good bamboo paper. It's been less than a month now, and it's a bit disappointing to be able to make this yellow paper, but it's also expected.
Seeing Mo Chen's disappointed eyes, Jade Tiger showed a mysterious smile on his face, and said, "General, look, this is the first batch of paper we have made according to the method passed down by the general. Although its texture is not good, it is much stronger than the traditional square flocculent. ”
Emerald Tiger said, pulling out the yellow piece of paper.
I saw that under the yellow straw paper, there was a slightly uneven piece of paper, but the rudimentary shape of the rice paper was already clearly visible. The Emerald Tiger kept moving, and in the blink of an eye, he took out four completely different pieces of paper.
By the end of the sheet, it was already quite a mature piece of paper. Although it still has a bit of pale yellow, it has generally affected its use. Its surface is smooth like fine brocade, and the concave and convex spots are almost impossible to find with the naked eye alone, and only when you touch it carefully can you feel a slight graininess.
Mo Chen showed a look of surprise on his face, picked it up from the low case, felt the toughness of the paper, and his heart became more and more shocked. See the latest chapter Baidu search soso
It's only been half a month, and Jade Tiger has been able to make such perfect paper!
Although it can't be compared with modern paper at all, this is the ancient pre-Qin era. In this era, it is quite perfect to be able to make paper that looks like this.
Mo Chen's face was full of surprise, and he asked, "This quality of paper is completely capable of being pushed into the market." But how much does it cost? ”
Jade Tiger said excitedly: "In order to rush the work as soon as possible, although I used some precious strange stones, the cost is still less than 100 of the bamboo slips, and the effect is far more than the bamboo slips." ”
Bamboo slips were already the most important writing tools in this era, and as for Jinjuan, it was a luxury that only princes could afford. But even so, the manufacturing process of bamboo slips is quite cumbersome, and it is too troublesome compared to paper. The most important thing is that bamboo slips are quite expensive to build and are not easy to keep and carry. Even if it is a bamboo slip that can't roll hundreds of words, it will weigh about a few catties.
Therefore, the ancients had the allusion of learning rich five cars, and the key reason was that the bamboo slips were too bulky. And if you want to carve on the bamboo slips, it is not an easy job.
And this difficulty will no longer exist in front of paper. The same weight of paper can hold more than 100 times the number of words of the same weight bamboo slips, and it is more convenient to carry. And compared with bamboo slips, the cost of paper is much cheaper, and it can be popularized.
As a shrewd businessman, Jade Tiger has fully seen the value of paper long after it was successfully manufactured. Looking at the latest chapter, Baidu search soso is precisely because he understands, he will be excited and difficult to control.
This so-called paper can definitely leave a heavy pen in history!
The Jade Tiger stroked the paper with an intoxicated face, as if he was caressing a peerless beauty, and his face was completely unconcealable with joy and intoxication.
Mo Chen looked at the intoxicated expression of the Jade Tiger, and didn't care about his rudeness, and laughed: "Tiger, you have done General Ben a great favor." ”
The value and role of paper, no one in this world knows better than Mo Chen.
He can fully foresee what kind of crazy chase it will cause when paper appears in the markets of various countries, and what considerable profits it will bring. Mo Chen knows better that the true value of paper is not how much wealth it can bring to itself in the short term, but its far-reaching impact on the world.
It will break the monopoly of the aristocracy on knowledge and greatly promote the spread of knowledge. And once paper and movable type printing are combined, the impact on this world will be subversive.
However, with his current strength, the printing technology is okay to use secretly, but it can't be put on the table. At least until he fully acquired the power of Korea, printing was not yet suitable for exposure.
Mo Chen pondered for a moment, and commanded with a solemn face: "Tiger, the manufacturing process of paper must be cautious, and there must not be the slightest mistake. Now that you've made perfect paper, it's time to expand your production and don't let it flow into the market for the time being. ”
The Jade Tiger smiled and said, "The tiger understands and will act prudently. As early as the beginning of the successful manufacture of paper, I had already instructed to go down and expand production secretly. However, it will take at least three months to prepare for it to be launched in various markets. ”
Mo Chen bowed slightly, with a gentle smile on his face.
Three months is not too long, but it is not too long.
During this period, I just made some corresponding arrangements to save unnecessary trouble in the future. After all, paper is too big, as long as you have a little knowledge, you can see its huge value. After the paper is listed, Xinzheng City is afraid that it will be lively.
Mo Chen pondered for a moment and ordered: "Since the paper has been made, it is time for the printing technique to start preparations." In addition, the secret workshop I asked you to build, how is it prepared now? ”
The jade tiger patted his chest, his round belly rippled with a wave of meat, and said with a smile: "I'm a tiger, and you don't worry, general." The workshop has already begun to prepare, and the materials that the general needs have also been collected.
In half a month at most, the workshop will be fully ready. It's just the things that the general needs, I'm afraid it will take some time to fully produce. ”
Mo Chen nodded, without words.
For this fantasy world, how much power gunpowder can produce in the future, Mo Chen himself can't say. As for the little things like stirrups, although they look inconspicuous, their effect on the military is quite huge.
The improvement of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry by the stirrup can be said to be an epoch-making product. It's just that this thing is too easy to imitate, and there is not the slightest secret to speak of. Dan stirrups are exposed to the eyes of the world, but I am afraid that it will not be long before it spreads all over the world.
And although gunpowder has great power, it is well known and easy to find a way to deal with it.
Therefore, the only way for stirrups and gunpowder to exert their greatest power is to hide them deeply for the time being, waiting for the moment when they can exert the most power!
Perhaps, this time will not be too long.
If he remembers correctly, at most next year or the year after, Daqin will launch a huge war against South Korea. In its original history, South Korea was almost wiped out after this war, and its already small territory once again lost nearly half.
As for now!
Mo Chen's eyes were slightly closed, and a faint smile appeared on his face, thinking about how to give Qin a big gift in this war.
Just as Mo Chen was pondering, the voice of the guard came from outside the main hall: "General Qiqi, there is someone outside the door who claims to be the giant of the Mo family, saying that he has something important and wants to ask to see the general." ”
Mo family giant!
Mo Chen came back to his senses, and his face showed surprise.
What is the Mo family giant asking to see him for?
Speaking of which, the Mo family is in this world, but it has a hanging power.
Not to mention the various messes of the Mo family, it is completely a perverted trap beast that can be explained by the fantasy version of Transformers. It's their so-called Flying Wooden Bird, if it can be mass-produced, it is really a fantasy version of the Air Force!
The Mo family giant visited, and it was a good opportunity.
Thinking about the air force brigade with gunpowder bombs, it really makes people's blood boil.
