"Father, this is it. This kind of paper can replace bamboo slips to record text!"
Zhao Chen returned to the yard from the hut with a thick stack of rice paper in his hand.
This kind of rice paper is slightly yellowish and is homemade according to the [Papermaking Technique] given by the system.
"Instead of the bamboo tube? Come on, grind it!"
Zu Long picked up the thin rice paper and shouted impatiently
He pacified the six countries and unified currency, writing, and measurement.
Everything else is easy to talk about, and Guizhou leaders can use it every day.
But even with this writing, there were not many literate people in Da Qin, so it was difficult to unify it!
He has to handle hundreds of kilograms of government affairs every day! It’s not that things are busy, but the bamboo slips are too heavy!
A bamboo slip can't record much at all! Sometimes just to record one thing, the bamboo slips can fill a car!
"Okay! Okay! This paper is really good! I wrote so many words and only used less than half of it! It is also very convenient to carry!
Chen'er, how much does this paper cost? Is it difficult to create? "
Zulong couldn't wait and wrote an article on paper that he didn't know what to say.
As a sports student in Zhao Chen's previous life, his educational level was originally very limited.
Although it has been more than ten years since I came to this era, I have been staying in the mountains
It’s normal to not recognize the Xiaozhuan script written by Zulong!
"The cost? It's very cheap! Just this stack, only one or two copper plates! It's just that it's quite troublesome to make!
There are many processes! But as long as there are enough people, it won’t be a big problem! "
Zhao Chen thought for a moment and said, the raw material for papermaking is bamboo pulp, isn't it found all over the mountains and plains?
Now that we have the materials and the manpower, aren't the Hundreds of Jinyiwei free labor?
So Zhao Chen really hasn’t calculated the cost, it’s pretty cheap anyway!
Even though it is troublesome to make, folding paper was a trial batch made four years ago when Zhao Chen first acquired this skill!
Because there was no need for paper to write or draw in the deep mountains and forests, so I never made paper again!
"Okay, okay! Once you return to the palace, I will send you some help!"
Zu Long carefully put away the stack of rice paper on the table and handed it to Meng Yi. This was much better than the bamboo slips!
Now that we have this low-cost, easy-to-carry rice paper, the progress of unified writing will be much faster!
"Wait a minute, Dad! You said you would send me some manpower? You didn't want me to be in charge of making paper, right?"
Zhao Chen's eyes widened, right? I won’t be able to separate myself!
We need to promote grain, we need to raise vegetables in greenhouses, and now we need to make paper! ! !
"That's right! Chen'er, those who are capable should work harder! Besides, only you know these techniques. If you don't come, who will? That's it!
By the way, what did you call me just now? Dad? Why not call me Father? "
Zu Long stood up, patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder and said
Now he is more and more satisfied with his son, who has disappeared for ten years!
The level of satisfaction even exceeds that of Fusu who only knows how to read Confucian dead books!
"Can't you call me daddy? Isn't this the same as my father?"
Zhao Chen looked at Zu Long with a puzzled look on his face. He felt that calling him dad was closer than calling him emperor!
"Okay, okay, it's okay! Just be happy, Chen'er! Call me Father or Dad, it's up to you!"
Zu Long smiled, not worrying about what Zhao Chen should call him! It’s just a title anyway!
"Yeah, that's right, Dad! Although this rice paper is cheap and more convenient than bamboo slips, it has a fatal flaw!"
"Oh? What's the shortcoming? Look at everything about this rice paper, it's better than that heavy bamboo slip!"
Bang~
"Dad, look! This rice paper is afraid of water! Don't touch water, otherwise it will become mushy!"
Zhao Chen crumpled the piece of paper that Zu Long had written before and threw it into the water tank.
I saw the paper ball melting into the water at an extremely fast speed!
Zhao Chen had a hunch that Da Qin would replace the bamboo slips in a very short time!
Therefore, it is still necessary to inform Zulong about the shortcomings of paper!
"Yeah! I will pay attention!"
Zulong nodded. Compared with the bamboo slips, this shortcoming is not a shortcoming at all!
...
Bang~
Just as a few people were discussing the beauty of rice paper, there was a clear sound of metal collision next to them.
Everyone looked up following the sound and saw Wang Ben holding a broken sword!
"Wang Ben, what are you doing! Why did your sword break?"
Zulong looked at Wang Ben's appearance and couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, it's like this..."
It turns out that Wang Ben, as a military general, was not interested in rice paper.
While everyone was discussing, he stopped to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes!
After he had eaten, he found the short knife used to cut potatoes.
The material seems to be good, not only is it extremely sharp, but it doesn’t seem to be made of bronze.
So I came up with the idea of cutting with my own sword and dagger, and everyone saw the result!
Wang Ben's bronze sword is broken! As for Zhao Chen's dagger, nothing happened! Not even a gap!
"Are you telling the truth?"
Zulong's eyelids twitched. Although Wang Ben's bronze sword was not as good as his own Tai'a sword.
But it’s also a really good sword! The material used is fine bronze! indestructible!
Now he was cut off by this little dagger?
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true!"
Wang Ben presented his broken sword hands to Zulong and said with a look of pain on his face.
I am also free, so what are I going to do with my chops?
A good sword was ruined like this!
"Chen'er, what kind of material is your sword made of? Can it actually cut off Wang Ben's sword?"
Zulong did not pick up Wang Ben's broken sword, but pulled up the dagger from the ground.
"Tungsten steel!"
Zhao Chen's dagger was given to him by the system upon signing in, and it belongs to future generations of military daggers!
"Tungsten steel? Where did you get it? How many more of these knives are there?"
Zulong stroked the dagger in his hand, what a good knife!
"Dad, I got this tungsten steel by chance in the mountains a few years ago! It's just a small piece, the only one in the world!"
Zhao Chen looked at Zulong and said, this is a reward from the system, he doesn't know how to forge it!
If Zu Long entrusts him with the task of forging swords again, it would be great fun!
"Hey~ What a pity! Chen'er, do you think that compared to my Tai'a sword or this short sword, which one is stronger?"
Zu Long sighed, the knife is a good knife, but it's a pity that there is only one!
"Well, I don't know either! It should be Tai'a Sword!"
Zhao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, that was Tai Ajian! The legendary sword!
"Then try it! Wang Ben, take this short knife!"
Zulong handed the dagger to Wang Ben, and he pulled out the Tai'a sword from his waist, preparing to strike with it.
"Hey, daddy! Why don't you try Jin Yiwei's Xiuchun Dao! This kind of material is also incorporated into Xiuchun Dao, and its strength is weaker than this short sword!
But Xiu Chun Dao is long! This dagger is so small and your Tai'a sword is so big. If you miss the mark, it would be terrible if you chop Master Wang's hand off! "
Zhao Chen saw Zulong holding the Tai'a Sword in both hands and hurriedly hugged him
He didn't care whether Wang Ben's hand would be chopped off, this was the legendary Tai'a Sword!
What he cares about is his dagger! If it gets cut off again, he won't have anywhere to cry!
