Chapter 10: Not for the owner will eventually become empty
Coming from modern times, and being a member of Zhuxia, even if you are not familiar with it, you will have relevant concepts about papermaking.
According to historical records, papermaking was invented in the Western Han Dynasty and improved in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
There is another theory that paper appeared earlier than the Western Han Dynasty. The reason is that Zhu Xia had already raised silkworms. Since silkworm cocoons were used to spin silk, the remaining bad cocoons, diseased cocoons, etc. were used to make silk floss using the method of bleaching.
After the process is completed, there will be some residual wadding left on the bamboo mat. The more times the wadding is bleached, the residual wadding on the bamboo mat will accumulate into a layer of fiber sheets, which can be peeled off after drying and can be used for writing. The number of by-products of this bleaching wadding
There are not many, and ancient books call it Heyan (tí) or Fangxu.
The technology of making silk existed before the Spring and Autumn Period, and Lao Zhijia was quite good at it. Zhiyao herself did not know that paper-like things would appear when weaving silk, so she accidentally went to check out the workshop and was completely surprised when she saw it.
Since Lao Zhijia already has relevant flocculent bleaching technology, Zhiyao can save a lot of research steps in making paper. The only thing left is to choose the materials used to make paper, and order the craftsmen to conduct repeated experiments and choose the cheapest materials.
Just making paper.
"People nowadays basically don't have the habit of writing with a pen. They record things with a carving knife..." Zhiyao was equally surprised when she discovered this.
Bamboo slips carry the most text. Because the text is carved on it, the strokes and writing habits are different.
So, there is ink now, but compared to the ink before I was used to writing on paper, both are inks but the quality is different.
Another point is that bamboo pieces actually have their own textures. Sometimes when engraving, you need to avoid some textures, causing some glyphs to become a bit strange.
But then again, the seal font is just like that. Whether you think it looks beautiful or is difficult to write, the bamboo slips used to carry it are bamboo slips. When the era of writing on paper comes, people will naturally study new fonts.
Since there was no need for too much research, Zhiyao stayed at the papermaking workshop for two days and then left.
The follow-up? Zhiyao waited for the craftsman to report on the materials, the proportions of various materials, and the results after bleaching.
The tradition of Lao Zhi's family is weaving, and they have accumulated a lot of relevant knowledge. Zhiyao knew that if he wanted to be the heir, he would have to learn relevant knowledge, and wondered whether he could improve the spinning wheel after receiving instruction.
"I have read a novel that details the history of the improvement of spinning wheels. The peak of the feudal era seems to be the three-spindle pedal spinning wheel?" Zhiyao was very distressed that she had not learned the relevant knowledge before she lost her soul.
Modern people are exposed to a lot of information, and they don't know much about inventions and creations. But if people who don't understand it are allowed to create things from scratch, 99% of them are too difficult... or they can't be made at all.
Zhiyao was very lucky that she had traveled to a big family with many people at her disposal, and they also had the corresponding skills.
What if the soul traveled to the slave? He has no qualifications to talk to the nobles at all. He should feel lucky that he didn't get killed.
Ordinary common people had to first support themselves, but then they had no resources and no chance to communicate with the nobles, let alone get investment.
The soul travels to a small noble family? Do you think that any noble family has so many craftsmen, especially craftsmen in every industry? Unless the time traveler's ability is ridiculously high, he not only needs to understand the technology himself, but also teaches others.
, training a group of assistants and reproducing various tools can be regarded as a foundation for invention and manufacturing. With only concepts, without mature technology and craftsmen who can provide help, it is actually useless to become a small noble.
Zhiyao later went on to engage in coal research.
"Pounding coal into powder requires finesse." Zhiyao began to order people again.
What does he want to do? Make briquettes.
The tools I made before can be used just right. It is nothing more than crushing the coal first and then using the tools to pound it into powder.
The people who do these jobs are slaves. They only wear a pair of underpants and their mouths and noses are covered with cloth.
Tinkering with coal will definitely make your whole body dark. If you sweat too much, you will have stripes on your upper body.
Zhiyao was inspecting the yellow mud, and also ordered the slaves to pound the yellow mud into powder.
"Eighty percent coal and 20 percent yellow mud, then water to mix, and then the impression is made."
Do you know what Zhiyao did in advance to make briquettes? He racked his brains to make the mold for making briquettes!
Because of long-term use, Zhiyao provided ideas and methods, and the craftsmen used the ink-making method to create bronze coal-printing molds.
In fact, it is possible to use wood as a mold, but due to the lack of many tools, making molds from wood is actually more difficult than using bronze.
Zhiyao started working on briquettes because he remembered that its combustion temperature is higher. If high-quality briquettes can be produced, coupled with a suitable iron-smelting furnace, it may not be impossible to liquefy iron.
If she could liquefy iron, Zhiyao would dare to research steel!
Once the Lao Zhi family has the ability to produce steel? Zhiyao will dare to challenge all countries with the strength of the Lao Zhi family!
Something seems to be wrong? Zhiyao looked at the surrounding warriors who were guarding him, and then recalled his observations along the way to "Luoyi" with a "brigade".
Starting from Zhiying's generation, the combat effectiveness of the family's private army is actually just that. In national war, it can bully the armies of most countries. When encountering the elite Chu army, it will be a 50-50 fight. When encountering Chu's "left and right"
"It can't be beaten.
Civil strife broke out repeatedly in the Jin Kingdom, and the Zhi family had not actually participated in it, which meant that they had no history of war with other families.
In the past, the most powerful people in Jin were the Que family, but then the Que family fell under the siege of the Luan family and other families.
Judging from the current situation, the most powerful one in the Jin Kingdom is the Wei family. What's more terrible is that the Wei family's rise was relatively short, and the number of the family's private army is far less than that of the other high-ranking families.
What's amazing is that the Zhao family was reestablished after being destroyed. They only lasted three generations from Zhao Wu to Zhao Yang. Their number of private armies suddenly surpassed that of several established Qing clans, and was only slightly less than that of the Fan family.
Some.
Of course, if the Zhi family and the Zhonghang family were both Xun families, that is, the two families merged into one family, no matter in terms of fiefdom and population, including the number of private armies they owned, not only would they be the largest family in Jin, but also the entire "Eastern World".
No family can compare.
"I can't just focus on 'invention' and creation alone. In fact, I should seize a force!" Zhiyao knows this very well, and it is fatal that he cannot do it!
The old Zhi family is now in charge of Zhisheng. No matter whether it is Zhishen or whoever it is, they are only acting on behalf of the rights given by Zhisheng, and they have no power of their own at all.
Therefore, even if Zhiyao can control a private army and train them to become extremely elite, as long as Zhishuo gives an order, no matter how much Zhiyao tries to win people's hearts, believe it or not, this private army will still obey Zhishuo.
Shuang's scheduling?
That is a continuation of etiquette, which is the ownership of the so-called "name" and "vessel".
Knowing this, Zhiyao calmed herself down and thought: "How is the situation between the Zhao family and Handan Zhao going? How far have the Fan family and the Zhongxing family interfered?"
When Zhiyao heard that Zhao Yang had let Zhao Wu go, he believed that since the Zhao family was eyeing Handan Zhao, the matter would not be over and there would definitely be a follow-up!
