Everyone is attacking me

Not to mention that Emperor Yuanqing was troubled by inexplicable guilt. With the news that the queen was pregnant, the queen finally fulfilled the surprise they wanted to give Emperor Yuanqing and produced toilet paper.

Using paper to go to the toilet, especially the paper with writing on it, was a very luxurious thing for the people of the Wei Dynasty and was not recognized by the mainstream. Using writing paper to go to the toilet was satirized and criticized by the literati at that time, and the story has been passed down to this day.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, although paper was made to wrap food, tea, herbs and even lanterns, there was no special paper created for toilet use.

It is still popular among the upper-class nobles to use silk cloth, and moreover, going to the toilet is called changing clothes, and after going to the toilet, it is natural to change clothes. For those with a little money and status, the maids and servants have already prepared to freshen up, aromatherapy and other things to greet them outside.

Ordinary people are more casual, finer ones, such as toilet slips made of bamboo and wood, or old clothes that have been replaced. If you find it troublesome, you can use leaves, grass leaves, or even tiles and soil blocks.

According to the queens, ordinary toilet paper is not difficult to manufacture, but because there is no demand for the upper layer that can be manufactured, this item is ignored.

In fact, the toilet paper queens researched it a month ago, but the first batch produced was very rough, and they were very dissatisfied, so they continued to study, and now they finally produced something that satisfied them.

It has to be said that Emperor Yuan and Qing were really pleasantly surprised when they saw the white and soft paper. This kind of paper cannot be used for writing, and it is okay to use it for toileting.

"And this kind." The queen took out another stack from the side. This stack was obviously much worse than the one held by Emperor Yuan and Qing. Not to mention the yellow paper, it was very rough just by looking at it.

"The cost of white toilet paper is relatively high, and the cost of this yellow rough straw paper is much lower than that of white paper, so it can be promoted among the people."

[Hurry up and popularize toilet paper, I feel guilty every time I use silk. 】

Emperor Yuan and Qing touched the rough yellow papyrus paper. Although it was not as soft and delicate as white paper, it was enough to wipe the dirt. At least it was much better than toilet tiles. In addition to the low cost, it should be popularized among the people soon. .

This kind of invention, which is closely related to people's daily life and improves people's lives, is small but worthwhile.

"Don't look at the low price of this kind of thing, but once it develops, people all over the country will use it, and it is a consumable, unlike soap, which can be used for a long time if you save a piece. Toilet paper is used every day, and it can be used for a long time. One less piece of paper, besides, we also plan to research paper towels, napkins, etc., which may not be a lot of income."

The queen took out another wooden box and demonstrated to Emperor Yuan and Qing what drawing paper is: "However, this kind of paper is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cost is not low. We plan to sell it in Fuchun." The implication is that Going to go the high end route.

[Without a machine, manual stacking of paper is too strenuous, and it took me a long time to get this box out. 】

Emperor Yuan Qing nodded, and then happily took the box of tissue paper.

Queen:  …

So when the second issue of Yun Xiang Clothes and Hua Xiang Rong was published, in addition to the Empress Dowager's food column and Liang Ping's pregnancy and baby column, a section describing toilet paper was added. The so-called beauty was squeezed into a small one Space, and old water in new bottles, it is still a matter of perfume.

Speaking of perfume, after more than a month of fermentation and brewing, the problem of long-lasting fragrance has finally been solved.

People have loved incense since ancient times, and there are various kinds of incense, such as powdered incense powder and incense pills, etc.

In Dazhou, because the folks love flowers, toilet water made from flowers is very popular, but no one has developed from toilet water to perfume.

The Queen and the others did not mean to ban traditional incense, but to promote perfume as a new way of fragrance, which is equivalent to adding an extra dish.

As far as the Queen is concerned, it is a great sense of accomplishment to personally mix the scents that have left a deep impression on her.

Half a month ago, she concocted a men's perfume and gave it to Emperor Yuanqing. Emperor Yuanqing took it and smelled it. I have to say that the smell is really good. At the first smell, there is a feeling of purity and coolness. After a while, I could smell the smell of Ahmad incense, and at the same time, it was cold, and there was a feeling of tranquility and gentleness.

Emperor Yuan and Qing liked the smell very much, so he asked Aunt Li to put it away and replace the original incense.

Regarding toilet paper, when Emperor Yuan Qing returned, he recruited the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and asked him to send craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to the Construction Department to learn the technology of making toilet paper, expand production, and make a fortune before the technology spread.

He does not intend to monopolize such small-scale inventions that benefit the people as soap and toilet paper, nor can he monopolize them. Wei does not have the sense of copyright that the queen said, and the only thing he has is books.

Because of the emergence of movable type printing, private bookstores gradually prospered, and the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty clearly stipulated that the publication of books must be reviewed by the Secretary of the Ministry, and can only be published after approval, otherwise it is a banned book, and no bookstore is allowed to print. Reach an agreement to undertake engraving and printing, and other bookstores are not allowed to carry out pirated printing. Once discovered, they will be severely punished.

This law appeared less than 20 years ago. It was established by Emperor Yingzong, and its source must fall on the Empress Dowager Zhaoci.

Because the poems she "wrote" were numerous and sought after by others, the Sujia Bookstore compiled and published the poems she "wrote" since she was a child, but within a few years, with the spread of movable type printing technology, Gradually, pirated versions appeared, and after Yingzong welcomed her into the palace, he issued this law.

At that time, movable type printing was not as prosperous as it is now, so the source of book piracy was cut off in this way.

Regarding the issue of copyright protection for inventions, Emperor Yuan Qing also discussed it with a group of traversers, but it is still difficult to implement it for now.

The Great Wei followed the previous dynasties, and still governed the country with Confucianism, respecting scholars, farmers, businessmen, and strict hierarchy. Although craftsmen ranked ahead of merchants, they were inseparable from merchants.

The emperor can focus on other schools of thought, but most of them are Legalism and Taoism. For example, Wei Taizu was a Taoist at first, but later he stayed away from Taoism because he suffered from taking elixir. But counting the kings after the Spring and Autumn Period, there are few or no ones who are biased towards Mohism.

As an emperor, although the Yuan and Qing emperors had no extreme prejudice against hundreds of schools including the Mohist school, he had to admit that if the Mohist school appeared among the people and promoted the theory of "choosing the son of heaven", he would immediately suppress it, even though he now knew that the Mohist school would be in the future. Ideas have become mainstream in disguise.

But since it is "ancient times" now, and he is the emperor of Wei, naturally he will not be happy to have a group of people clamoring for minzhu and gongchan.

Furthermore, these inventions and creations are actually provided by the traversers, the copyrights belong to them, and there are no patents or non-patents, and things like soap and toilet paper are easily imitated by folk research.

Therefore, after the final discussion, the traversers proposed to give rich monetary rewards to craftsmen involved in the manufacture of soap, toilet paper, etc., and to set up an award related to inventions and creations, not to give official positions, but to give monetary rewards, and wait for the establishment of the Dawei newspaper in the future In short, anyone who provides effective results can be commended.

Emperor Yuan Qing thought about it and finally agreed.

Although the Queen and the others know some advanced knowledge, except for Shao Yan and Liang Ping'an, they stay at the theoretical stage, and they also know simple things such as soap and toilet paper. After the road was repaired, Xia Chan and Song Jie enthusiastically proposed to manufacture bicycle tricycles. Emperor Yuan Qing was also attracted by their description of bicycle tricycles, but unfortunately, no one would.

The queen only rode it when she was in school, and then she went from bus to subway to driving, and she had long forgotten the feeling of riding a bicycle, but she used to ride an exercise bike in the gym.

Song Jie needless to say, what kind of bicycle he rides, he can't drive a row of cars in his garage. Of course, don't expect him to build cars.

Both Xia Chan and Liang Ping'an came from a good family background. Since they were young, their parents would pick them up by car, and they only rode a few times for fun.

And Shaoyan, the only one who can be counted on, has ridden before the end of the day and can do simple repairs by himself. However, the ten years of the end of the day, earthquakes, typhoons, etc., plus the five-year ice age, the ground has long been uneven, and it is very cold. It is better to walk than to ride a bicycle in the sky. Later, Rexia settled down in five years, and found some from the ruins as a means of transportation, but you have to ask him how to make rubber tires and how to install the brake shaft properly. He doesn’t know. .

In addition to this point, there are many more, such as how to make acid and alkali, Xia Chan only did it in a safe laboratory, and all the materials were prepared in advance, you let her make three acids and two bases, you can try it Try, but she can't guarantee the price of this attempt.

No one knows when the next time traveler will appear and what kind of knowledge it will bring, so the time travelers all feel that instead of waiting for the time traveler to appear, it is better to gather everyone's ingenuity. People who have researched in this area may not be able to persist in their research due to various reasons, and this research and invention award is naturally used to attract and motivate these people.

Travelers spread the general idea, let everyone brainstorm, maybe there will be a breakthrough.

Based on this, Emperor Yuan and Qing agreed.

He agrees with the words of the traversers that technology is the primary productive force, but this item must be based on the preservation and transmission of the imperial power of the great Wei. He can't let the great Wei die in his hands, so what face does he have to see Your ancestors.

Although the Mohism has disappeared since the Qin Dynasty, who knows if there are any descendants among the people? If they only concentrate on scientific research, he can tolerate it, and even recruit them for reuse.

So for craftsmen, it can only do so.

It has to be said that the effect of this kind of monetary reward is still great. After the craftsmen who participated in the construction of soap cement toilet paper received the bonus, they were unanimously envied by the craftsmen of other departments. Gengyuan was responsible for researching those crops more attentively. , because the Yuan and Qing emperors promised that the research on crops is also counted among them.

In the same way, those who participated in the research of fire guns and bird guns were also rewarded and became more active.

Stimulated, the craftsmen of the construction department made persistent efforts and even produced flat glass.

Of course, this item is thanks to An Wang, or his shopping mall, because it provides a real object as a template.
