readx;?? In the following period, Zhang Jiashi tried to promote things like paper to the entire Liaodong County for use. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info than odd, small, say, net, first, hair

Chen Pingren, who works in the county guard's office, has long guessed that Zhang Jiashi invented paper not for his own use.

And they have long seen that the paper is indeed very convenient, in the case of the same weight, not to mention bamboo slips, even the best quality books and silks, can not be compared with paper in this regard.

And in terms of price, even the most ordinary book silk, that is, the variegated silk cloth of poor quality, can record relatively little content.

Especially in terms of writing speed, it is the same as the silk, far from the speed of carving bamboo slips with a carving knife. And the space it occupies is even more incomparable to the latter.

Of course, the paper produced now is not without its shortcomings. First of all, because of the factor of pen and ink, and the paper produced now has many impurities, such as the paper transcribed with a brush, once the handwriting is too small, it is often glued together and cannot be recognized at all.

Another problem, which can also be said to be quite typical, is in terms of writing, because of the current ink factor, sometimes, the ink that penetrates on the desktop often makes the content written behind also blend together and become unrecognizable.

Zhang Jiashi didn't think of a solution to the problem, that is, to transcribe on a skin with good absorption capacity.

However, no matter what, the current Zhang Jiashi has basically implemented the popularization of paper in official business.

What Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that Chen Ping would deduce from Zhang Jiashi's promotion of such things as paper that he was very likely to do in this regard.

One night, Chen Ping, Li Zuoche and others were still working in their own jobs, and in a small talk, Chen Ping picked up a piece of paper full of contents, looked at Li Zuoche, and said slowly: "Scribe Li, our General Zuo, I'm afraid it's not just for convenience and making money, so we will try our best to promote this thing." ”

Under the re-study of Chen Ping and Xiao He, Li Zuoche was appointed by Chen Ping as the scribe of General Zuo's Mansion.

This job seems to be incompatible with Li Zuoche's strengths. After all, at this time, the scribe is more of a petty official who makes written records.

The status of General Zuo's Mansion is far from being comparable to some small counties. is also an official position such as a scrivener, but Li Zuoche can also be regarded as a high-grade official, and some scribes under the county order can only be regarded as non-grade officials, and the two are not the same level at all.

Li Zuoche was not dissatisfied with this arrangement. On the contrary, in that meeting, he, who was also able to be arranged, had become one of the important members of the group of General Zuo Zhang Jiashi.

At this time, Li Zuoche, who heard Chen Ping's inquiry, slowly stared at the paper in front of him, which also had half of the text written, and said after a while: "Chen Sima, this kind of thing is very likely to be just the most effective means that General Zuo will do in the future. ”

After Chen Ping heard Li Zuoche's words, he nodded lightly: "This Ping also feels the same way, if General Zuo wants to make such a thing, I'm afraid it won't just be used in this aspect." It is very likely that what General Zuo wants to do is to make such paper basically completely replace bamboo slips and even books and silks. ”

After all, according to his understanding of Chen Ping, even if Zhang Jiashi had not communicated with the actual No. 2 person in General Zuo's Mansion about this matter, it was not surprising that Chen Ping could see the clues contained in it.

After pondering for a while, he said slowly: "Maybe Sima Chen missed a point, that is, based on Li's inference based on General Zuo's way of acting, General Zuo may have already had the means to make these papers become the popularization of Great Qin culture." ”

After Chen Ping heard this, he smiled slightly, and he looked at Li Zuoche: "This point...... Although we don't know exactly what the situation is, according to Ping's understanding of General Zuo, I'm afraid that this is only one of the aspects. ”

When Li Zuoche heard this, he smiled: "That's right, our General Zuo, if you don't Er'er, I'm afraid that you and I, as well as Mr. Xiao and other civil and military officials, will not continue to stay in this place." ”

After Chen Ping heard this, he stopped talking.

This is not to say that Chen Ping intends to refute Li Zuoche, but Chen Ping believes that such things are more in the category of blind guessing. If they really had this luck, they would naturally see what kind of impact such a thing would have on them, as well as the entire Great Qin Empire.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

If Zhang Jiashi knew Chen Ping's inference, he might have corrected the strength of the two again.

And what is Zhang Jiashi doing now?

In an official workshop that had been taken over by the Mo family, he worked with some craftsmen and disciples of the Mo family to carry out some mold production modifications.

These days, Zhang Jiashi is basically thinking about the production method of printing.

In the case of several experiments with the results of the copper movable type and the ceramic movable type. Zhang Jiashi did not use copper type, which seemed to be more stable at room temperature, but chose a pottery type mold that was much better than copper type, although there was a gap in quality.

It is not that the copper and metal movable type of later generations are useless, but in the current environment of Origan, it is basically impossible to carry out printing work in the work area where the environment is completely inferior to that of later generations.

The effect of thermal expansion and cold contraction can also be said to be very obvious in this regard.

Although there is no such situation in the appearance, but from the spacing of some printed handwriting, Zhang Jiashi can see these bronze raw materials, carved character molds, only with the difference in temperature, and the problem becomes more and more obvious.

According to a sentence muttered by Zhang Jiashi, you can know: "Fortunately, I am not doing copperplate printing, otherwise, this problem will be more serious." ”

......

According to Zhang Jiashi's thoughts, his most important priority seems to be to popularize the simplified Chinese characters and pinyin of later generations. But Bai Qi said a problem that Zhang Jiashi couldn't ignore.

That is, with the current literacy rate of the Great Qin Empire, he simply does not have enough teachers to forcibly implement simplified characters and pinyin.

Under the influence of this problem, Zhang Jiashi can only let things go slowly and gradually.

That is, he should cultivate a group of people with a certain level of education in the writing system of the Great Qin Empire.

Therefore, these pottery movable type modules in front of him are basically anti-carved with small seals.

Movable type printing, in fact, was not something impossible to do at this time. Like paper and gunpowder, China's four great inventions were able to be made in the Great Qin Empire. This point, to a large extent, is a "pioneering act" made by Zhang Jiashi who was stained with the light of the traverser.

However, even if you know how to do many things, you can only do them step by step.

The Great Qin Empire also had a so-called official language. However, just like the situation before the popularization of Mandarin in later generations, the degree of popularity of such an official language is also quite narrow.

At the very least, if it weren't for Zhang Jiashi's assistance from the Qingyu Spirit Book, it would have been impossible for him to understand those Guanzhong accents with heavy accents and obscure accents.

However, it is very simple to say that such a thing as language unification is carried out, but to really do it, without a certain number of personnel, corresponding policies and a considerable period of time, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

This point also has a certain influence on Bai Qi to let him continue to popularize the small seal script first. A qualified promoter must be able to read and write in order to be competent in such a situation.

Moreover, in terms of the current situation, Zhang Jiashi, who can probably only completely control the area around Liaodong County, wants to do this, and it doesn't make much sense.

Zhang Jiashi also did not think about relying on those personnel of the Jixia School Palace, plus some other schools in Liaodong County, to form a Liaodong School Palace and cultivate talents.

However, after thinking about it, he had to give up on this.

The spread of culture will not be able to receive more support in the war that is likely to be inevitable in the future. In a way, it's even more wasteful.

In this case, in order to achieve such a point, it is better to think about this aspect of the problem after Zhang Jiashi's strength has expanded, which is more in line with reality.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi can only produce movable type on a small scale and devote himself to the production of the first generation of books.

In this world, the first generation of books produced on paper were not many.

At Zhang Jiashi's request, only some agriculture, some Mohist techniques, and the current laws and regulations of Daqin could be printed.

The first two are more products of internal circulation. And those laws and regulations...... Zhang Jiashi also did not plan to sell it for money.

After all, in this case, Zhang Jiashi really couldn't believe that such a book could be sold for money.

It is inevitable that Zhang Jiashi will think so, after all, allowing other counties to use these laws and regulations in the form of books is no better than their original bamboo slips.

Therefore, it is not so much that Zhang Jiashi's books are intended to be sold for money, but rather that Zhang Jiashi let these books be introduced to the market.

Books are very difficult to promote now. But in many ways, as long as Zhang Jiashi succeeds one day, these books will gradually spread to every corner of the Great Qin Empire, and then gradually replace these bamboo slips that are extremely heavy, inconvenient to write, and even occupy a lot of space.

Printing on both sides of a single page can basically print the contents of a roll of dozens of pieces of bamboo.

In other words, one page can completely discard the shortcomings of bamboo slips.

It's just that the current printing technology is still difficult to do so much, the current ink, not as good as the ink of later generations, looking at a few tentative printed content, Zhang Jiashi found that these pottery movable type has become more and more in line with his expectations. However, those fonts that are still easy to stick together make Zhang Jiashi unable to accept them easily.

"Either enlarge the font a little bit more, or change the font directly, it's not entirely a matter of ink. Bai Qi named a factor that also affects the quality of printing.

Zhang Jiashi was silent, because a font like Xiao Seal was indeed unable to effectively miniaturize printing things before the printing technology came out in later generations.

However, Zhang Jiashi knows very well that those printing technologies in later generations cannot be done now.

Cylinder printing technology is indeed faster and simpler than typesetting movable type, but the cylinder printing technology of later generations is basically the product of electric machinery technology.

The steam revolution, the electric power industrial revolution, two cross-era progress, at this time, the former may be successful before Zhang Jiashi dies, but the latter, forget it......

In the end, Zhang Jiashi had to waste a little bit and adopted the method of continuing to enlarge the font, and once again asked these craftsmen to carve a batch of pottery movable type.

Zhang Jiashi favored pottery type, in addition to the temperature factor, the easier carving is also a reason.

A group of experienced craftsmen was able to carve the movable type of the corresponding specifications into a template size in less than half an hour.

In fact, the size of the trunk of these pottery movable types has been specified, and the size of the font needs to be revised again, so that a batch of movable types can be made again.

Zhang Jiashi saw that after being in charge of putting these clay molds in an earthen kiln for a period of time, he took them out and observed the overall situation, and felt that he had passed the test. These movable types are placed in the air for slow cooling.

And I don't know how long it has been, Zhang Jiashi saw today's fourth typesetting and printing.

Zhang Jiashi did not ask these craftsmen to carve a clay mold of a piece of content, but carved out the most complex characters in the small seal separately to observe the printing effect.

As a result, the results of a few days made Zhang Jiashi the most satisfied this time.

Because the small seal characters with more than three centimeters on the periphery of this font are finally not too obvious to bond the printing ink together.

Zhang Jiashi knew that these craftsmen had indeed done their best, and after instructing some other questions, he promised that these craftsmen would be rewarded when the first batch of books were printed and a certain pass rate was reached.

These rewards are more in terms of money or food. Zhang Jiashi didn't mind improving the status of the craftsman, but this practice was stopped by Bai Qi.

Under Bai Qi's explanation, Zhang Jiashi understood the reason why the status of these craftsmen in all dynasties in Chinese history was not high, or even quite low.

Because the craftsman is more effectively controlled, it can only make the status of the other party difficult to improve.

In fact, how many truly excellent monarchs can't see what the craftsmen bring to them?

Once their status is promoted, then ...... A lot of things have become hard to control.

It can be said that this is an unspoken rule that many people understand in their hearts.

Zhang Jiashi had to be silent after Bai Qi's explanation, because some things have not changed, which shows that in many ways, such a practice has its own reasons.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After solving the problems of printing, Zhang Jiashi began to lay out some things that he could do now.

After he returned to Dingxiang City, he ordered Chen Ping to recruit a group of carpenters.

Chen Ping didn't understand what Zhang Jiashi planned to do, but he knew very well that Zhang Jiashi would not do it for no reason, and two days later, Zhang Jiashi came to the outskirts of a forest about twenty kilometers east of Dingxiang City.

A group of about thirty carpenters was arranged in this place. This is also what Zhang Jiashi requires.

And those who were also arranged in this place were some people who were proficient in forestry at this time.

Zhang Jiashi, who came from later generations, naturally knew what sustainable development was, and he would not do it if he killed chickens and took eggs. These foresters are mainly engaged in filling in the deforested forests and planting new trees.

In Zhang Jiashi's plan, these people will only increase. Because a lot of places are going to be able to use these people.

And what is Zhang Jiashi going to do this time?

Very simply, he mainly made some office props from later generations.

Stools, chairs and more ergonomic desks were successively made by these carpenters, mainly at the request of Zhang Jiashi.

I tried it, although it was not as comfortable as those more humanized tables and chairs in later generations, but compared to the low table and coffee table that I have to sit on cross-legged now, it was completely different levels of feeling.

Under Zhang Jiashi's order, these tables and chairs must be produced in a certain quantity. Zhang Jiashi planned to let his mansion and his cronies and military officers try it first.

Of course, it wasn't without jokes.

It's like the kind of long stool that Zhang Jiashi intends to produce for future generations......

The result......

It was supposed to be a chair that could seat three adults, but after sitting on three guards in iron armor, the bench broke directly.

There's no way around it. It's not that the people of today are much stronger than the people of later generations, but the weight of the armor on their bodies is also very heavy.

Thinking of this link, Zhang Jiashi could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

For it was his intention that each army should have two stools, so that they would not all have to sit on the ground during the parade in the barracks.

Besides, compared to the chaos of sitting on the ground, sitting on a stool looks much neater.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi would not completely use such things for official business. He plans to produce a batch of furniture and earn some household money, it's as simple as that.

Of course, he didn't think that the profits of this thing would only get smaller and smaller. All he needs is the benefits of the first batch.

The difficulty of copying this thing is basically nothing, and it is announced that Zhang Jiashi has the possibility of making a lot of money in this regard, which is completely impossible.

It's just that Bai Qi was quite speechless after hearing the words that Zhang Jiashi was thinking in his heart.

And what is this phrase?

"It's okay, the crab is that big, as long as you can eat the first bite, it tastes the most delicious, isn't it?"

As Zhang Jiashi thought, a new furniture trend has emerged in Liaodong County.

And Chen Ping also thought that these things given to them by Zhang Jiashi were good.

There is one thing that Chen Ping is quite speechless, that is, Zhang Jiashi actually made a request to him to go to the salt sales team in Jizi North Korea and other places to install some vehicles selling furniture.

Well, can Chen Ping refuse such a thing?

With Chen Ping's acquiescence, Zheng Fu sent three teams of 30 people each, accompanied by three salt-selling teams, to Liaoxi County, Jizi Korea, and by sea to the hometown of Qi......

Of course, Qin Min was very reluctant to find a situation, that is, it was originally behind the salt selling fleet, followed by several small fishing boats. Of course, he knew what was on these fishing boats......
