The more he said, the more excited he became: "Silk, hemp, bamboo and wood are cheap and easy to obtain!" ”

"Bamboo is cut down and revived, and there are a lot of useless bamboo slips that can be used directly."

"Just peel the skin of the wood, and it will grow again tomorrow."

"Silk is more expensive, but it can be filled with rags."

"Hemp is even more desirable everywhere, and there are a large number of linen clothes and hemp shoes in the treasury of this monarch's mansion, all of which can be dismantled and used!"

In the first sixteen years of this life, everything Ying Chengcheng did was only for one purpose.

Alive!

In the next three years, although Ying Cheng Chan also took out catapults and other objects, Ying Cheng Chan's impact on the world was only partial and may be repaired by historical inertia.

However, today, Ying Chengcheng finally broke the golden rope and tore off the jade lock, breaking the cage of cowardice and conservatism.

He began to try to have a profound impact on this era!

But Cao Mao and Qi Ai were completely unaware of the impact of Ying Chengcheng's words.

The two looked at each other, then looked at Ying Cheng's hair and eyebrows in unison.

Qi Ai asked tentatively: "Chang'an Jun intends to dig out the materials for writing from the medicinal materials?" ”

The more Qi Ai listened, the more he felt that the method that Ying Chengcheng said was like a prescription recorded in the "Book of Days".

If the hair and eyebrows start to curl for no reason, you can boil the hemp shoes in water to form a flocculent, dry them slightly and apply them to the affected area for treatment.

The only difference between this strategy is that more materials have been tried.

However, Ying Chengcheng is a noble feudal monarch after all, and he doesn't want to use stinky bahem shoes to cook medicine, but it is reasonable to want to explore a new prescription!

Cao Mao said directly: "Chang Anjun's hair is indeed slightly curly. ”

"As the saying goes: If a person gets nymphs and shaved eyebrows for no reason, he is sick. It is to boil the hemp shoes (hemp shoes) with paper, that is, to stop. ”

"Chang'anjun doesn't need to work hard to mobilize the people, and he can make good medicine for Chang'anjun today!"

Ying Cheng's face suddenly turned black to the bottom of the pot: "Benjun's hair and eyebrows are very good!" ”

"Benjun doesn't have to boil medicinal materials."

Ying Chengcheng asked rhetorically: "Since you all know the method of boiling paper, why haven't you ever thought of using this technique to make things that can be written?" ”

Qi Ai said with a smile: "The humble position once served as the official order of the Chuan (沤麻) in Yongcheng. ”

"Although I have never boiled hemp shoes, I have boiled a lot of hemp."

"During this period, some craftsmen will accidentally let the hemp paper be dried."

"But what you end up with is a messy and sparse piece of twine, and I don't know how to write it."

Ying Chengcheng asked instead of being angry: "Have you ever handled hemp?" ”

The art of hemp has been practiced for hundreds of years.

And Ying Chengcheng clearly remembers that his history teacher in his previous life once said that the art of pulp is born from the art of hemp!

In the early days of papermaking, the two were exactly the same!

Ying Chengcheng only has a general understanding of the art of soaking hemp, but if Qi Ai has personally operated the soaking of hemp, is there still any need to worry about this part of the work of soaking pulp?

Qi Ai hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Back to Chang'anjun, I have been in charge of the Ma Guanfang for about five years. ”

"Although I have not personally participated in the crafting, I know the art of making hemp, and I will not dare to deceive you!"

Ying Cheng laughed heartily: "In this way, Benjun is more at ease." ”

"Come on, sit down and talk!"

As he spoke, the servants had set up their tents and lit a blazing fire.

Ying Chengcheng invited Qi Ai and Cao Mao into the tent and sat closer.

Seeing Ying Cheng take out two persimmons from the food box, Qi Ai and Cao Mao subconsciously reached out to take them.

Then they saw Ying Cheng Chan holding a persimmon in his left and right hands, and took a big bite on the other!

Qi Ai: [_?]

Cao Mao: ()〈))

Ying Chengcheng didn't seem to see it, and asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the two, if this gentleman puts these two persimmons together, will they be connected?" ”

As he spoke, Ying Chengcheng touched the unbitten side of the two persimmons with each other.

Cao Mao looked at Ying Chengcheng speechlessly: "How can they be connected!" ”

Ying Cheng turned the persimmon, touched the bitten side in two, and asked with a smile: "What about now?" ”

Under the action of pectin and sugar, the two persimmons obviously showed sticking.

Although the adhesive force does not bring the two persimmons together, the flesh of the two persimmons is visibly close to the naked eye.

Qi Ai immediately gave his hand: "It's connected!" ”

Cao Mao stared blankly at the juice that was still entangled even though it had been separated a little.

After a few breaths, Cao Mao asked urgently: "You think Ma is so persimmon?" ”

Ying Cheng smiled and bowed his head: "Not bad! ”

After receiving Ying Chengcheng's affirmation, Cao Mao's breathing became a little shorter: "There is no adhesion between the hemp and the hemp because they seem to have been broken, but in fact they are still intact like this persimmon." ”

"But if the hemp can be broken, the juice in the hemp may be able to help form adhesions between the hemp and the hemp."

"And with this adhesion, hemp and hemp may be linked to each other, or even fit seamlessly, forming a more dense warp and weft thread than silk!"

Ying Chengcheng's smile became brighter and brighter: "Although it is not hit, it is not far away!" ”

"However, persimmons are persimmons, hemp is hemp, and wood is wood, so they can't be mixed up."

"What is inside the persimmon is juice, and what is inside the numb and wood may not be juice, but another thing that cannot be detected by the naked eye!"

"And what we're going to do is to hammer the numb or wood hard and hammer out this thing inside them!"

The fibers are held together because the cellulose molecule contains hydrophilic hydroxide groups.

It was difficult for Ying Chengcheng to explain such an in-depth principle to Cao Mao and Qi Ai.

He can only give the simplest instructions.

Hammer!

Hammer the cellulose shell wrapped in the hydroxide group to release the hydroxide group!

His eyes stared at the persimmon in Ying Cheng's hand, and Cao Mao's voice changed from lazy to fanatical: "You can give it a try!" ”

"If persimmons can be glued together, why can't hemp be glued together!"

Qi Ai's eyes were speechless as he looked at Cao Mao and Ying Chengcheng.

Why do you associate hemp from persimmons?

Qi Ai tried his best to refute tactfully: "When the hemp is soaked, we will also use a wooden paddle to beat the hemp. ”

"But after the beating, the hemp is still not sticky."

"Humble as ......"

However, before Qi Ai's words were finished, Ying Chengcheng and Cao Mao spoke in unison: "It's not enough!" ”

Ying Chengcheng looked at Cao Mao with appreciation.

Cao Mao was not polite either, and continued: "The strength is not enough! ”

"The purpose of patting hemp is just to let the hemp spread out, but it can't break the hemp material, so you can't use too much force."

"It's not heavy strength, and some of it will be slapped on the water."

"How can this completely smash the hemp material?"

"If there really is something in the hemp, then you can't put the hemp in the water, and you have to hammer it out with heavier force!"

Ying Chengcheng immediately corrected: "If there is no water at all, it may be difficult for the things in the hemp to survive." ”

"I think it can be divided into three groups of verification."

"One group completely puts hemp into the water for thrashing."

"One group soaked the hemp and then took it out and put it in the scoop and beat it."

"The last group goes straight into the scoop and beats."

"In the end, the three groups were compared to observe the results!"

There seemed to be a lightning bolt in Cao Mao's brain.

Group control?

It's not a matter of pondering, but of trying all possible paths.

How much time does this save?

How many phenomena can be found that the mind alone cannot even imagine?

Cao Mao slapped his thigh and laughed heartily: "Cai! ”

"Since we can't be sure, let's divide them into three groups and compare them!"

"Big Draw!"

"Chang'an Jun is worthy of being a master craftsman, but he knows more about craftsmanship than those mediocre people in the court!"

"Being able to follow Chang'an Jun to study craftsmanship, Cao is really fortunate to have three lives!"

Ying Chengcheng smiled: "This gentleman wants to divide more than three groups. ”

"As Benjun said, silk, hemp, bamboo and other things that are easy to get cheap should be tried."

"Maybe hemp can't do what Benjun wants, but what about Muzhu?"

Cao Mao nodded frantically: "What the king said is very true!" ”

"It's the same wood, and it has its own characteristics."

"Maybe this wood is available, but other wood is not."

"This needs to be verified one by one!"

Qi Ai's heart trembled when he listened.

How many types of wood and bamboo are there in Daqin?

How much would it cost to test them all?

Qi Ai thought that Ying Cheng Chan would dispel Cao Mao's crazy idea, but what Qi Ai didn't expect was that Ying Cheng Chan was far more crazy than Cao Mao!

Ying Chengcheng actually agreed and said: "This is very good! ”

"It's like a medicinal herb."

"Similar herbs may be a poison and an antidote."

"But we also have to take into account that there may also be compatibility between the various materials."

"So we not only need to verify each material, but also combine various materials in a compatible way!"

Cao Mao became more and more excited and wanted to continue to add.

However, Qi Ai couldn't hold back any longer.

If we continue to talk like this, the power of the whole country will not be able to satisfy your fantasies!

Qi Ai immediately hit Cao Mao with his arm, and hurriedly smiled: "Your Majesty, if you do this, the cost is not small!" ”

"I think it's better to verify it slowly!"

In a word, Cao Mao calmed down.

The exhaustive approach is indeed the best means of trial and error and accumulation of experience.

But, it's expensive!

Cao Mao said helplessly: "Your Excellency, you will try your best to study, try less, and save some money and food for your lord as much as possible." ”

However, Ying Chengcheng asked with a smile: "Who is Benjun?" ”

Qi Ai was slightly stunned, and tentatively arched his hand: "You are naturally the Great Qin Chang'an Jun." ”

Ying Chengyun said lightly: "This monarch is the Great Qin Chang'an Jun, and he is the person with the most extensive food today!" ”

"Looking at the world, since the five kings, this king is the richest!"

"And now you are trying to persuade you to change your mind with such trivial things as money?"

If you are poor, you will strike accurately, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower!

Benjun is so rich, but you let Benjun pick and search for time for money?

You're not helping Benjun save money, you're wasting Benjun's life!

Ying Chengyun smiled softly and asked, "Isn't Master Qi humiliating Benjun?" ”

Qi Ai's pupil earthquake.

I've thought you've refuted me with all sorts of reasons.

But I never expected that you would take money to humiliate me!

Qi Ai didn't refute anymore, and suddenly gave up his hand: "What the king said is very true!" ”

"Only by doing what the king and Master Cao said, can we make what the king needs as soon as possible!"

Ying Cheng bowed slightly: "Not bad." ”

"Fast, it's more important than thrift!"

Glancing at Zhang Xun who rushed over, Ying Chengcheng commanded in a deep voice: "This place is the address of the workshop chosen by Benjun for papermaking. ”

"Build a workshop as soon as possible, dig the pond as soon as possible, search for materials as soon as possible, and start manufacturing as soon as possible!"

Qi Ai hurriedly said: "But this weather ......"

Without waiting for Qi Ai to finish speaking, Ying Chengcheng said directly: "The weather is cold, then burn the fire to keep warm." ”

"If you need materials, you can extract them from the treasury of this monarch's mansion."

"As soon as you are in demand, you can speak directly to the housekeeper of this monarch's mansion!"

"There is only one need for this gentleman, fast!"

"This is a major event related to the future of Great Qin."

Ying Chengyun looked at Cao Mao and Qi Ai with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"If this thing can be completed quickly, this gentleman will not hesitate to give the king and ask for a knighthood for the two of you!"

The soles of Cao Mao's feet seemed to have an electric current drilled into them.

If you do this well, can you change your title?

Can a lowly craftsman like me have a knighthood?

And Qi Ai realized through these words how much Ying Chengcheng attached importance to this matter.

I realized that the people who are concerned about this matter are probably far more than Ying Cheng, but also Ying Zheng!

Abundant funds, valued by superiors, related to the country, and rich rewards.

So what else is there to say?

Qi Ai and Cao Mao all threw up their hands together: "Only! ”

Ying Cheng smiled on his face: "During the time of building the workshop, the two masters should not be idle. ”

"Please also ask the two of you to create a few more small objects for Benjun."
