"The subordinate examiner's office order Zhang Han, I have seen Shaofu." Zhang Han was tall and burly, with a square face and long beard, and saluted to the new Shaofu in front of him.

He sighed in his heart. Three years ago, Zhang Han had dealt with Zhao Tuo and went to the other party's mansion to bring back Quyuan Plow.

At that time, Zhao Tuo was still a young man less than twenty years old, and he already had the title of middle change, with great military achievements, and he also made a sharp weapon of the country such as Quyuan plow, which made Zhang Han very admired.

"Young Hero!" This is Zhang Han's evaluation of Zhao Tuo at that time. But he didn't expect that only three years have passed, and the former Zhao Zhong has been promoted five levels in a row, becoming a high-ranking chief, and even the emperor and princess, and now he is in the position of Jiuqing and has become his top boss.

"This kind of upgrade speed is really rare in the world. It's a pity that I, Zhang Han, didn't have the opportunity to follow the eldest to the battlefield, otherwise the title would definitely be upgraded. Although he has become a subordinate of the chief now, this is not a battlefield, even if he wants to make meritorious contributions, where should he go? Zhang Han sighed faintly in his heart, looked at the young man in front of him, and became more and more respectful.

"Exam room order, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have a good beard." Zhao Tuo laughed.

At this moment, he had already sent six Shaofu Cheng out to do things, and only he and Zhang Han were left in the house, so he looked kind and looked like an acquaintance.

"Shaofu has an overreputation. Shaofu's meritorious deeds in the past few years are what really make Zhang Han admire. Zhang Han also squeezed out a smile on his face.

This Zhao Shaofu not only did not put on a big leader's show, but also praised the beard he had deliberately grown in recent years, showing the meaning of closeness, which flattered Zhang Han.

After some greetings, Zhao Tuo no longer delayed and went straight to the point. He said: "I used to dedicate the plough to the present, and I have had dealings with the examination office, and I know that you are a capable person with outstanding ability. Today, I want to make something, so I will hand it over to the examination office to be in charge, how about it? Zhang Han saw that Zhao Tuo was close to him, and said that he had outstanding ability, even if he had a calm personality, he was overjoyed.

Now I heard Zhao Tuo say that he wanted him to make a thing out, so he would refuse, and he would be ordered on the spot.

"Whatever the Shaofu wants to make, just tell it. Zhang Han must work hard to complete the task! Zhang Han's voice was full of confidence.

He is the commander of the examination room, who is in charge of the work of craftsmen, and he is confident that the utensils made by craftsmen in the world are mostly known.

Even if it is something as unique as Qu Yuanli, as long as Zhao Tuo says it, he can figure it out by following the name.

However, the next moment, the name of the thing that came out of Zhao Tuo's mouth made him stunned.

"I want to make paper." Zhao Tuo's face was full of anticipation.

"Paper?" Zhang Han looked confused and at a loss. He racked his brains, and he didn't expect what Zhao Shaofu said

What is "paper"? Zhang Han asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Shaofu, what is paper?" Zhao Tuo smiled: "Paper is a good thing." It is as thin as silk, cheaper than simple, and can be written on top of paper with a pen. A thin piece of paper, the number of words written in it is worth ten bamboo slips! ”

"Is there such a miraculous thing in the world?" Zhang Han looked stunned, he didn't doubt the truth of Zhao Tuo's words, he was dignified, and he wouldn't come to tease him.

It's just that no matter how Zhang Han imagines it, it's hard to come up with this

"Light and thin as silk, cheap is better than simple" paper, what does it look like?

"When I go to the palace, I often see the slips being reviewed today. Today's diligent government, a day to review the slips hundreds of catties, that number of slips, day after day to correct, must be very depletion of the body, after a long time, I am afraid that it will hurt the body. ”

"So I remembered something called 'paper' that I had seen on the fragment of the male loser."

"If I can make paper and write all the words on paper in the future, it will be much easier to deal with political affairs today." Zhao Tuo said with emotion.

"It turned out to be something recorded on the fragment of the Gong's Lost Son, no wonder the subordinates had never heard of it. Shaofu is a descendant of the public loser, and he once made a giant cannon according to the fragments, and now if he wants to make paper, there must be no problem. Zhang Han suddenly realized that he no longer doubted.

Zhao Tuo's identity as the descendant of the male loser has long been known to everyone, and many people secretly guess that in addition to the giant cannon and the Quyuan plow, he must have mastered many secret techniques of the male loser.

Now throw another magic one

"Paper" may surprise you, but after thinking about it, you will take it for granted. People have a teacher!

Saying that, Zhang Han sighed again: "Shaofu always keeps Jinshang in his heart, no wonder he can be trusted by Jinshang." Zhao Tuo smiled slightly.

Yes, he made paper for the sake of the emperor's body. At most, there is one more purpose for the benefit of the people of the world.

Anyway, it's definitely not for him Zhao Tuo to go to the toilet. In Zhao Tuo's heart, there is only the emperor and the world.

Seeing that Zhang Han understood at this moment, Zhao Tuo asked him to take pen and ink and write down the main points on the slip. Regarding the matter of papermaking, Zhao Tuo actually knows a little about it.

At most, he has seen a little bit of some history in his previous life, and he understands some general processes, but the specific operation is not very clear.

However, it is enough to have a general direction, Shaofu, as one of the nine kings, is in charge of the emperor's inner treasury, and there are many people under his command.

There is money, there are people. There are a lot of resources for Zhao Tuo to squander the experiment. He only needs to point out a direction and a general line of thought.

Zhang Han, an old craftsman, will take his subordinates to do everything they can for him.

"Soak the bark, hemp, rags and other materials first, or try steaming...... Pound them and beat them into pulp...... Mix the pulp with water, scoop it up, and make it into a thin sheet of wet paper...... Then leave it to dry or tumble dry. ”

"Because what is left behind by the male loser is a fragment, and there may be some gaps in the middle, you try to get it, complete the process in the middle, and make a finished product first." Zhao Tuo said the general process of papermaking that he knew in one breath, and as for whether he was wrong, he actually didn't know very well.

If there is a mistake, blame the bastard author for making it up online and misleading him. However, there should be no problem in the general direction.

The so-called practice brings true knowledge, and when Zhang Han himself takes the craftsman to study it, go through the process, and get some finished products out, he will naturally make improvements.

After Zhang Han wrote down all the points that Zhao Tuo said, he said to Zhao Tuo: "Shaofu rest assured, I will not disappoint Shaofu in this papermaking matter!" Zhao Tuo bowed his head and said with words: "Shaorong does things, I am at ease." ”

"Later, I will send someone to tell Bai Gongcheng that the matter of casting farm tools by the soldiers of the world will be handed over to others to be responsible. All you have to do is make the paper, and when you get it out, you're done. In the future, if you are happy because of the paper, you will be indispensable. Hearing that there was merit to be taken, Zhang Han's face suddenly turned rosy.

He said in a deep voice: "Thank you Shaofu, Zhang Handing will live up to his mission!" Looking at Zhang Han's serious look, Zhao Tuo smiled.

Once the papermaking is successful, Zhang Han will owe Zhao Tuo a big favor. In addition, Zhang Han himself is Zhao Tuo's subordinate, and when he takes Zhang Han as a confidant and becomes a real person, it will be simpler.

Let you do things for me, and let you be grateful to me. It's a good feeling. Of course, what is even more enjoyable is that when the paper is made, it will bring great changes to the world.

"Get the hemp paper out first, and when they have some experience, they can try to make better writing paper such as bamboo paper, and change this era step by step." Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of expectation.

Especially thinking of the autumn seven years ago, some of the pain he experienced in Zhao Di, and his desire for paper became stronger and stronger.

It's been seven years of waiting! …… Papermaking is a long-term project, and I can't rush it for a while.

Zhao Tuo selected the executor of this matter, and after arranging the project, he left it alone for the time being, and left everything to Zhang Han to deal with.

He made another round in the Shaofu organization, and after getting familiar with his own territory, he saw that it was not early, so he prepared to go home.

However, Zhao Tuo had just returned to his mansion and stepped out of the car. He thought of what he heard at the court meeting today, about General Li You's transfer to the lieutenant of Shudi.

"Shu is remote, and I am going to fight the Dian Kingdom in Yunnan, Brother Li is going, I'm afraid I won't be able to see each other for many years, he is my old leader after all, I should go to see him off." And Captain Tingwei helped me deal with those doctors before, and I should personally come to the door to thank them, otherwise it will be rude. Zhao Tuo muttered in his heart, called his cronies, and wrote a letter of worship with his own hand, asking him to send it to the Li Mansion.

"Let's just say that I'm going to visit Ting Wei and Zuo Shu tomorrow!"
