The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"Perhaps it's Deng who is ignorant of his knowledge. There is no way to know the source." Deng Sheng shook his head, then looked at Yuan Wei.At the beginning, when he saw this stele, his expression was not very good, obviously he remembered something.

"Yuan Situ, do you know?" Deng Sheng asked.

"This is not what the sages said..." Yuan Kai took a deep breath, "This is what Liu Tao, the general of Habayashi Zhonglang, said."

"Heh..." Hearing this, Deng Sheng smiled knowingly when he remembered that Yuan Shao had left Liu Tao behind when the meeting was over.

"It seems that General Liu Zhonglang has some complaints about waiting for me?" Zhu Jun looked at Liu Tao beside him. The two just met on the road, so they came together.

"I didn't specifically point at someone..." Liu Tao shook his head, "Doctor Guanglu can't slander a subordinate like this."

"It's just that since this stele is standing here, General Liu Zhonglang cannot be separated from it," Zhu Jun reminded.

"If I was afraid, I wouldn't have said those words at first." Liu Tao shook his head. Anyone who could be disgusted with this inscription would not be a good official who is in charge of the people and cares about the country...

Chapter 218 Has Assassins

Since Liu Hong made such a stele, officials at all levels of the Sangong and Jiuqing had to see the stele before entering the hall.

Of course, for these old foxes, this little trick is nothing at all.Not to mention seeing it, even if they were asked to chant once before entering the hall, their faces would not change in any way.

This Liu Tao is very clear, and Liu Hong should be even more clear, but just to disgust them, they can do that.This is where Liu Tao feels the most.

But after the stele came out, Liu Tao was ordered by Liu Yuanqi to keep a low profile.In addition to the follow-up, no one really invited him to participate in literary meetings, or parties, and he was happy to be at leisure.

Time passed day by day, and it was halfway through December in a blink of an eye.The new papermaking workshop has been completed, but unlike other papermaking workshops, this workshop only produces toilet paper.The size of the workshop is three times the original size.

At the same time, the first real paper for writing has been produced.The color is similar to the color of baked bamboo slips, not so white, but the degree of saturation is high, the paper is soft and tough, it is qualified writing paper.

From the start of production to the completion, it only takes about a month. From the second batch, a batch can be produced every three days.

"How is it?" Liu Tao handed the bamboo paper to Cai Yan to try it out.

"Slightly better than Caihou paper, but the quality has not improved much." Cai Yan simply wrote a few words, and then replied.

"However, the official production of Caihou paper takes two to three months to complete. This one only takes one month. It is considered to be the worst batch of writing paper." Liu Tao said with a smile, "The key price is less than that of Caihou paper. eleven."

"So cheap?" This time it was Cai Yan who was frightened. About three sheets of Caihou paper are equivalent to one bamboo slip, which means that more than 30 sheets of this kind of paper are equivalent to the price of one bamboo slip.

"After proficiency, especially after mass production, the price can be further reduced. However, the appearance is not very good, and in the case of long-term storage, it is not much different from Caihou paper." Liu Tao played with a piece of paper. The thing is very unkneaded.

In terms of quality, it is slightly better than the ingot paper of later generations, but not much better.

The papermaking time of more than two months is directly compressed to one month, and there is no way to force too much.Fortunately, there are other papers that are being experimented at the same time, but in terms of cycle time, it will take more than a month to know the results one after another.

"This is already amazing!" Cai Yan suddenly realized that the paper in front of him was a bit noble.It's not that the quality has improved, but the meaning it represents has changed a lot.

The price is so cheap, as long as it can be mass-produced, then poor people in the world will have more opportunities to learn.

"Actually, it's nothing special at all..." Liu Tao caressed the paper, "As long as the books are still in the hands of the aristocratic family and it's hard for ordinary people to get them, then no matter how many papers there are, they will only be used by a few people."

The biggest advantage of cheap paper is that more people can afford it.What's the use if you can afford it and don't have a book to copy?Those who can't learn, still can't learn, this result hasn't changed in any way...

"How can you say that?" Cai Yan disagreed with this point of view, "Even if there are more underprivileged people who have the opportunity to read more books, there will be more talents in the world. For the big man, it is a good thing!"

"What you said is also..." Liu Tao smiled.

This was an era when there were no public schools, and most of the so-called academies were clan studies.For example, Yingchuan Academy, which is funded by the major clans of Yingchuan, is a place for the children of the clan to study, and ordinary poor scholars are not eligible to enter.

It is true that Guo Jia is from a poor family, but the Yingchuan Guo family is also a big family, and Guo Tu comes from the Yingchuan Guo family.Besides, there is no accurate evidence to prove that Guo Jia ever studied in Yingchuan Academy.

In the public school, that is to say, it is an imperial school, and the students are basically the children of officials, so it has nothing to do with poor families.Originally, there was a school of Hongdu School, and it developed well, so it might not be able to become a public college in the true sense, but now it is closed.

He also has a solution, but it offends the aristocratic family very much, and it will take more than ten or twenty years to get the reward... Wait, let Liu Hong do this kind of offending thing.

You can let Liu Hong be the first initiator, so that it won't look awkward if you are the second.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Liu Tao's expression constantly changing, Cai Yan couldn't help asking curiously.

"I just thought of a policy that benefits the country and the people." Liu Tao laughed, and added by the way: It's not good for the aristocratic family...

Cai Yan was very curious, but Liu Tao made a fool of himself and didn't say anything.Chatted a few words casually, diverted the topic away, and then signaled to go back. He planned to enter the palace while it was still early.

Cai Yan also realized that Liu Tao had other things to do, so he didn't bother him, and followed him back to Luoyang.

The car came out of the paper mill, and the craftsmen, mainly a few master craftsmen, all came out to see them off one after another.The production of paper this time proved that the improvement methods given by Liu Tao were really effective, which made Liu Tao gain their approval.

Of course, the most important thing is that after the official paper was made, they were allotted a lot of money.At this moment, they are already full of energy and plan to devote themselves to other experiments.

"The weather is starting to turn cold, do you have enough warm clothes?" On the way, Liu Tao asked casually.The house he rented has already built a kang in advance, so there is no need to worry about keeping warm in winter.

"Originally there were some furs, as well as velvet clothes and cotton clothes..." Cai Yan replied.

Luyi is a long robe made of woolen cloth. It has appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was also the dress of ancient emperors and scholar-bureaucrats.Perhaps it is because the materials are expensive and scarce, or it may be a symbolic problem, so it has not been fully popularized.

Cotton clothes are not clothes made of cotton cloth, but clothes filled with kapok wool.Since the production of kapok wool is not high, ordinary families cannot afford it.

"I recently built a kang in the house, which is a bit like an earth dragon, do you want to build one for you?" Liu Tao felt that this was not enough to keep warm, so he suggested, "Take it as a thank you for helping me treat my book. "

The earth dragon is mainly used for heating the palace, and there is one in the palace. The project is large and expensive, and it is not used by ordinary people.In contrast, the kang is more practical.

Originally, Cai Yan didn't want to accept Liu Tao's kindness in vain, the favor he owed would be difficult to repay.But since Liu Tao said it was thanks, he agreed.After all, in the winter, who would want to fight hard if it can be warm?

Just as he was talking, there was a scream from outside, and then the groom fell back and fell into the carriage with an arrow in his chest.

"Oops!" Liu Tao immediately added the 'Heavenly Armor' to himself and Cai Yan, and the success of using it also means that they have entered a state of war at this moment.

Of course, there can't be enemy troops around Luoyang, if there are, then they can only be - assassins!

Chapter 219

Who wants to kill me... No, no, actually, if you think about it carefully, you can think of many people.There are obviously other methods, but if you go directly to the killer, isn't it a bit of a foul?

No no no, not that.Strictly speaking, in political struggles, directly using assassins is also a means.If Jing Ke assassinates the King of Qin, if he succeeds, maybe the pattern of the world may change.

"There are assassins, be careful! By the way, can you drive a carriage?" Liu Tao regretted a little, why didn't he bring his guards when he came out.

"Hmm..." Cai Yan was also a little flustered, never expecting to encounter such a legendary thing.

Luoyang is the capital and the capital of the great Han Dynasty.However, in broad daylight, in the bright universe, there is actually an assassin appearing in broad daylight, which is really unimaginable.

There were also a few pedestrians on the road, but they had already left in a hurry.Not even a single person willing to help, Liu Tao really wanted to complain.After jumping off the carriage, he pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, which was his only equipment at present.

They are wearing ordinary robes, but they have a layer of 'Heavenly Armor' on the outside. The attack magic they can use is 'Magic Arrow' and 'Fire Arrow', but the latter is too conspicuous. Unless it can be silenced, it is best Don't use it casually.

The attack magic is still too little... Liu Tao is a little bit emotional, but fortunately, he has been training hard during the past six months.

"Immediately drive back to fetch the rescuers. I don't think it's that simple this time." Liu Tao said something, then turned over and got out of the car.
