Zhaocheng, because the city is the country, can also be called Zhaogongguo. With Zhaocheng as the center, countless fertile fields belong to Zhaogongguo. The most important point is that Zhaogongguo is tax-free and only needs to pay tribute to the emperor. .
The area of Zhaocheng during the Luo Kingdom was not very large, at least not compared to Luoyang. After Luoling rebuilt Zhaocheng, the area of Zhaocheng was also not very large. It was still far inferior to Chang'an. The main reason is that there are no majestic and gorgeous palaces with thousands of buildings in Zhaocheng.
Among the palaces in Zhaocheng, the largest palace is the ancestral temple of the ancestors of the Luo Kingdom. The biggest difference between the ancestral temple of the Luo Kingdom and the royal family and the princes and kings who are qualified to establish the ancestral temple.
That is, the temple not only enshrines one's direct ancestors, the ancestral temple of the Luo Kingdom includes all direct descendants. For example, the Luo Yan who entered the Chu Kingdom is not only included in the sacrifices of the Xiang family, but also in the Luo State. Among the family's sacrifices.
Another area in the inner city that occupies a large area is the storage room. Finally, it is the residence where the direct descendants of the Luo family live and where the rotating daredevils live.
The outer city of Zhaocheng is very large, and the east side is the main residential area for the residents of the city. More than half of the Dukes in the entire Zhao Kingdom live here.
To the south is the Zhuzi Temple and other places of cultural diplomacy. Usually large-scale sacrifices are held in Nancheng District, not in the inner city. After all, there are too many people and it is not appropriate for them all to enter the narrow inner city.
There are much fewer residential areas here, mainly people close to the Luo family and people who came to Zhaocheng to take refuge. Some people from the Xiang family live here.
The residential area in the north is also not big, more like a school building. The Luo Academy is built here. It is very large. After all, it not only teaches them to study, but also teaches them how to dance with guns, stick, and ride and shoot. It's an academy, more like a training ground. Even a blacksmith shop is available. An arsenal capable of producing armor is built here.
There are also all kinds of Luo's research here, and the same is true for papermaking, and it also occupies a huge open space.
After getting paper by chance for the first time, Lowe became curious about this new material that could be used to write on, and thought it was a very valuable item.
But research is a very expensive thing. After the world gradually became peaceful and the family's financial resources began to recover, Luo started research on papermaking.
This kind of boring research lasted for decades. At the beginning, there was no clue, and even the glue could not be removed. Later, some not very good paper was obtained, but the cost was high and there was no promotion value. Lowe became richer and richer, and at the same time opened several experimental sites, and finally the papermaking technology was completely broken through.
And it is an all-round breakthrough in materials, technology, and processes!
[How great this is, a piece of pure white paper. Civilization will prosper because of it, and wisdom will be opened because of it. This is an eternal monument in your family history. Thousands of years later, the deeds of princes and generals will be revealed. It will be hidden in the vast sea of history, but the great achievements of papermaking will last forever. You have obtained 4000 luck points, and you have obtained a mysterious-level prop, which will be refreshed for you in the next update of the system. 】
Even Ji Zhao, who was sleeping, was briefly awakened. Unexpectedly, papermaking was invented. Among the four great inventions in the past life, the other three were not on the same level as papermaking. Papermaking can truly enhance civilization. Something fundamental.
Without high-quality and cheap paper, there would be no explosion of civilization. This is unquestionable.
"The world is getting faster and faster. Is the world going to find a new anchor point?"
Ji Zhao felt the world that was slightly rioting due to the emergence of papermaking technology, had some guesses in his mind, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
As long as the blessing of the ancestors is still there, even without the artifact, Ji Zhao still believes that his descendants can handle everything, and family inheritance should not be a problem.
The master craftsman responsible for making paper rushed into the inner city with excitement on his face. After inspection, he walked into the palace and reported the news to Luo Ling. After seeing Luo Ling, he bowed deeply and said excitedly: "Master of the house. , the best paper has been created, it is definitely a divine thing that no one has ever seen before in this life!"
When Luo Ling heard this, his usually calm face showed the slightest hint of emotion, and he immediately said: "Let's go, take me to have a look."
A large number of people followed Luo Ling. Luo Ling looked at the snow-white object in front of him and gently placed his hand on the piece of paper, which was not extremely smooth. It was as thin as a cicada's wing. He gently lifted the paper. , as light as nothing!
The rational divinity forcibly suppressed the excitement, and Luo Ling whispered: "Bring me a pen and ink!"
"Bring me pen and ink!"
"Bring me pen and ink!"
The great craftsman shouted loudly, and in just a dozen breaths, the pen and ink came into Luo Ling's hands. Luo Ling dipped it in thick ink, then picked up the pen and wrote on the paper. Everyone looked at it with burning eyes.
The handwriting is not blurry!
It stays firmly on the paper!
Everyone knows and understands what this means, but at this time, no one cheers, because this is such a great achievement, and everyone knows that this will change the world.
Luo Ling slowly put down the pen, and the four characters "Zhu Xia Luo Shi" were written in pitch black ink on the white paper. Luo Ling slightly raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he was looking at the sky above the unknown how high, King Su. Just looking at this place.
Luo Ling raised his hands high, and then crossed them. Everyone around him crossed their hands upon seeing this, and then lowered their heads. Luo Ling said loudly: "King Su is with us!"
After releasing his somewhat agitated mood, Luo Ling turned around and looked at everyone, and said loudly: "This year's tribute to Zhu Xia Zi, just use these papers. This is the most precious gift from Luo to the Han Dynasty, which will make the whole world Everyone sings Luo's name, so that everyone knows 'Luo Zhi', just like it was thousands of years ago."
"As you command!"
Everyone bowed and bowed, the etiquette was ancient and sacred, like the ancient wild feeling that always lingered around Luo Shi.
…
Luo Ling left here, and Luo Jiu, who was responsible for the family business, asked the master craftsman: "The quality of this paper should be better, and the cost can be lower, right?"
The master craftsman immediately said: "That's natural, the technology is not particularly mature now, and the main advantage of some materials is that they are cheap.
If other materials are used, the paper produced will definitely be different. I even think that a lot of craftsmanship can be added to the paper. This needs to be discussed with those in the family who study ink science. "
Luo Jiu heard this and said with satisfaction: "Since the quality of this paper can be better, then don't relax, keep experimenting with new materials and improve its technology.
After that, I will report to the head of the family and allocate a large area of land inside and outside Zhaocheng to build a papermaking workshop. After presenting it as a tribute to the emperor, the family's business group will soon start selling these precious treasures all over the world. The paper can bring The profits to come will be huge and it will be a significant supplement to the family's income source. "
The commercial value of paper is obvious, especially in today's world. Emperor Liu Heng obviously wants to create a prosperous civilization, just like the hymns of the past and the beautiful Chu Ci of the Chu State. He wants to bring Han Fu To carry it forward, Luo Jing is one of the best.
Moreover, Taixue had just been established and it was when the annotation of classics was popular. Compared with bamboo slips and paper, they were not at the same level in terms of simplicity. Moreover, Luo could also take out some books from the storage room by himself, such as Bang Certain historical books of the Zhou Dynasty will definitely cause people to rush to copy them, opening the door to the sales of paper.
The Luo family is not the kind of family that is ashamed to talk about profit. On the contrary, the Luo family attaches great importance to the development of business, and even elevates the importance of business to the country to be second only to agriculture.
If the country is a big river, agriculture is the river course and the foundation of everything, and commerce is the driving force that makes the river flow. Without the flow of commerce, the country is just a pool of stagnant water.
However, although Lo's makes money, it is not like many profiteers. After all, it is not difficult for Lo's to make money.
Especially for selling things like paper, making money is secondary. The key is that through this method, Luo Shi can increase his reputation. This is what Luo Shi cares about most, giving himself a golden body layer by layer.
As for whether the emperor would be afraid, that was not Luo's consideration. The worst he could do was hide in Zhaocheng and wait for the demise of his dynasty.
If the emperor is looking for trouble, then we have to see if the Luo family's millennium reputation, combined with the power of brave warriors and friends and relatives, can shake the imperial power.
Under Luo Ling's order, Luo quickly began to prepare a batch of better quality paper for the envoys to carry as tribute to Chang'an to pay tribute to the emperor.
After all, the tribute to the emperor should be special, which also shows Luo's respect for the emperor. As the saying goes, everyone carries the sedan chair and gives each other face, and the world becomes harmonious.
As the date gets closer, all the vassal kings, princes and governors in the world have begun to prepare tributes to the emperor. Especially the sinners exiled in Lingnan are working hard to express themselves, hoping that the emperor can see their Change your past and return to the Central Plains.
Even if I can't return to Chang'an, I still hope to leave the barbaric land of Lingnan.
Under such circumstances, the Zhaocheng delegation of several hundred people embarked on the road to Chang'an carrying the paper.

In the world of the 11th century AD, countless major events occurred, the rise and fall of dynasties, the birth and demise of princes and generals. Emperor Wen of Han, one of the greatest monarchs in ancient my country, was trying his best to display his outstanding talents, but all of them Everything in the world is far inferior to the birth of paper. This treasure that started world civilization appeared on the land of Zhuxia. This is something that all Chinese people should be proud of. I am especially proud because it was my ancestors who created it. . ——"My Papermaking Ancestor"
