I made a fortune teaching live broadcast in ancient times

There is a saying in Dashang: After the winter festival, it will be a whole year.

This means that after the winter solstice passes, the following days will be the end of the year.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the family began to prepare for the New Year.

The same is true for the Chen family, but this has little to do with the statement, because the preparations for the new year's goods are the responsibility of the family's mistresses and lords, and the men in charge basically don't care about them, unless they are unmarried, but unmarried also have their parents to buy.

While Chen Mumu and Xiao Wang's four were busy buying new year's goods, Chen Chen was still leisurely continuing to teach the children in the village to go to school.

And in addition to teaching, he is doing research that has always been important to him.

It was stated before that when he was looking for someone to make desks and stools for students, he went to the carpenter's house and found one thing, that is, there are so many trees in their place, basically all over the mountains and plains, and carpenters do most of the woodwork. All of these trees are used.

This tree is called eucalyptus, that's not important, the important thing is that eucalyptus can be used to make paper!

Why does the statement know? It is because he watched a certain anchor make paper out of moso bamboo in a video in his previous life, and the paper he made was very good.

So after watching this video, he was very curious and went to check the information, and found that there are actually many things that can be made into paper, and one of them is a tree called eucalyptus.

And the cost of making paper with eucalyptus is much lower than that of moso bamboo. For example, if the same acre of land is planted with moso bamboo, the harvest is one ton, so planting eucalyptus will cost at least four tons.

And one ton of moso bamboo can only produce [-] to [-] pulps, but think about how much can be produced from four tons of eucalyptus.

Therefore, in his previous life, he carefully studied how eucalyptus trees made paper, and he remembered every step clearly in his mind from the beginning to the end.

Therefore, after he found eucalyptus at the carpenter, he asked the carpenter for a lot of discarded eucalyptus shavings and eucalyptus sawdust.

After getting home, Chen's mother thought he was coming back to light the fire, and joked that he knew about the Gu family.

In the end, I didn’t know it was not the case. Instead, I boiled the shavings and sawdust in a large pot. After cooking for more than an hour, I soaked them in a large water tank like pickles. Not only Chen’s mother was curious, but the whole family Up to Chen's father and down to the little boys are very curious.

But the statement only said that it was kept secret for the time being, and he also asked anyone in the family not to touch his water tank. He only said that he was still researching. If the research was successful, then their Chen family would have a handicraft that could be passed down.

Father Chen was shocked when he heard that he was able to pass on the craftsmanship to his descendants. He didn't need to state what he was talking about, but he sternly told his sons and grandsons, even throwing away the idea of ​​being neither deaf, dumb, nor a family man. Now, give Xiao and Xiao Wang an order to tell them not to mention this matter outside, and they are not allowed to mention it at their natal home. Anyone who speaks about this will be Chen's sinner. For such a headed daughter-in-law, when the time comes, she will just give up and go back to her mother's house.

When the family member Chen's father said this, even Chen's mother didn't refute it, and immediately it was Xiao Shi and Xiao Wang who were trembling with each other.

Therefore, the two of them were always three meters away from the vat at home, and every time Chen was handling his vat, they either left home or stayed in their own rooms.

Even Xiao Shi who was very curious couldn't bear to inquire about what the statement was doing.

Today, Chen's mother took Xiao Wang's family and other aunts from the family to the county to buy new year's goods, and they were the only big men in the family.

Statement and Jiangong came back from school at the ancestral hall at noon. The big men and the little boys didn't know how to serve the food. Fortunately, Mother Chen and the others knew what the father and son were like, so they cooked the food in the morning and left it in the pot. It can be eaten directly if it is hot.

In fact, the statement is okay, he can eat and knows how to do it, but...he can't make it by himself.

When he lived alone in his previous life, he was tired of eating takeaways, so he wanted to cook some home-cooked dishes by himself. After carefully studying some menus, he found it very simple, so he bought kitchen utensils and dishes and came back.

The result...every time it is either fried or fried.

He was puzzled. After frying the vegetables again, the smoke in the house attracted the attention of the neighbors. They thought it was a fire. They even called 119 when they were afraid. But when 119 came, they found out that he was just cooking. .

Afterwards, when 119 left, he cryptically advised him not to cook by himself in the future.

Since then, the statement has completely given up on cooking by itself.

Cough~cough, it's a bit far away, let's go back to the present.

A few big men took a few little boys to eat lunch, and after feeding the little brothers, the eldest brother and the second cleaned up the kitchen and washed dishes, and Chen's father took the little brothers and the little boys to take a nap.

Chen Chen started his paper-making business. Today, his paper must be made so that his little butt will not be scratched by bamboo strips.

Yep, the biggest reason he makes paper is to...fuck your ass.

In fact, the Chen family is fine, because Chen's father loves his daughter-in-law, the bamboo strips for their buttocks are hand-made into palm-length bamboo strips, and he also wipes the lint on them very smooth, not at all Row to the little ass.

Moreover, the bamboo strips of the Chen family are used once and then thrown away, and they are remade when they are gone.

This makes the statement acceptable, but one time, the statement went to the family as a guest, and when he wanted to go to the bathroom, he found that this thing in their family was used repeatedly, and he was so disgusted that he couldn't eat for the day.

Since then, he has vowed to invent the roll paper to draw out the paper, and then he will use one and throw one away.

Mrs. Chen opened the lid of the water tank, and the wood pulp in the water tank has been washed and bleached almost, and the foam floating on the surface of the water tank is less than the previous few times. After this filtration, it is basically ready for production.

Pour out the sewage on it, then pour in clean water again, then add the minerals he prepared before, and stir vigorously with a wooden stick. After stirring for about half an hour, the report’s arm is already sore and limp. There is really no way , He went to call the two brothers to help.

The boss and the second child stirred each other for half an hour, and finally the slurry inside was completely viscous. Because there were no chemicals to bleach, the color was not very white, but it was very similar to the color of the original pulp paper used before.

But no matter what color it is, as long as it can be used, it's for kicking, not for writing.

After that, I poured the sticky carpenter onto the spacious plank that had been prepared, and spread it all out, because it was used to open the butt, and the statement was not spread very thin, because I was afraid that it would not be done well for the first time, and the paper would be too fragile. Yes, if you accidentally break it, it will be bad if you get it in your hands.

So you can spread it thicker for the first time, and then adjust the thickness slowly later.

The weather is fine today and the sun is shining. He stated that he should put the boards in the sun to dry, and after the water was removed, he would put them under the eaves to dry slowly.

The weather looks like it won't rain for a while, and the wooden boards won't have any problems when they are drying in the sun, and there won't be any birds to peck them in this winter, so I don't care about the statement for the time being.

But the statement is not worried, the eldest brother Chen and the second brother are worried, they have heard from the third brother that this thing can be passed on, so they must be careful, so the two sat in the yard, weaving bamboo baskets while Stare at the pulp on the board.

Seeing that the persuasion did not work, the statement followed them, turned around and entered the house by himself, and continued his great writing career.

Speaking of which, he discovered a big strange thing about the Great Shang Dynasty.

That is to say, big merchants, whether they are civil and military officials or ordinary people, all worship elegant scholars very much.

And what is Ascot?

As the name suggests: a person with rich talents and noble character.

"Poetry" says: "Yin Shi's skin is sensitive." "The fashionista is handsome, the Yashiboda, and the nobles are not easy to distinguish, and the scholars live in seclusion and speak out." "

"Old Tang Book·Biography of Zhao Jing, Wei Lun, etc." also has: "Prime Minister Zhao distinguishes judges, seeks to be a refined scholar, and traps Lu Zhi by fighting for power.

There is also "Shisou·Runyuzhong": "As far as Zhong Ruoding is concerned in the state of Jin, his talent and love are full of Kou Zhongmin. He was not a prime minister at that time, but he was actually a refined scholar in the early Song Dynasty."

There is also Lu Xun's "Three Leisure Collections: Hong Kong's Christmas Congratulations": "Christmas this year is particularly lively, and literati and refined scholars will impromptuly wave their pens at the Taoyuan Collection to express the quintessence of China."

Therefore, there are several kinds of refined scholars, such as refined scholars of literati, refined scholars of high scholars, refined scholars of poets and so on.

But in Dashang, in the few days since the statement came, I have heard of several refined scholars.

One of the most famous refined scholars was named Li Mingchen, who had been a scholar in Dashang for 21 years. When he took the Juren examination again, his examination paper was snatched by a candidate with a background.

But at that time, his family was poor, and it was useless to sue, and he was very sad and angry, so he was also disappointed with the court.

But he is not a person who mourns and blames himself. Although he has lost the desire to repay, he has other thoughts.

After that, he traveled around the country as a scholar, and he often went in and out of the brothel Chu Pavilion. Every time he left, he would leave poems for the oiran inside to sing them by name.

After that, he retreated for three years and wrote a geographical travelogue based on his personal experience.

As soon as this book came out, it became popular all over the country, and it was sung in brothels and Chu halls.

In this way, people from all over the world have heard that there is such a talented person.

After that, he wrote a lot of stories about talented scholars and beauties one after another, which were very popular with those boudoir sons and daughters and scholars.

Later, he was lucky enough to run into Emperor Rongzhen, the father of the Emperor at that time and now His Majesty, but Li Mingchen did not know Emperor Rongzhen, and only regarded Emperor Rongzhen as a friend who could talk to him, and Emperor Rongzhen also concealed his identity.

In this way, the two of them were drinking together, talking about the world, the ancients and the present, and after drinking, they even talked about the government at that time.

Seeing that Li Mingchen was a talented person, Emperor Rongzhen decided to solicit him, and deliberately asked a few questions related to the current situation. He answered them very well, and even put forward some feasible suggestions.

Emperor Rongzhen was overjoyed and felt that Li Mingchen was a man of great talent. Later, he revealed his identity and wanted to invite Li Mingchen to be an official.

But Li Mingchen refused, saying that he only wants to visit the mountains and rivers in his life, and not be far from being contaminated by vulgar things.

Emperor Rongzhen was not angry at his refusal, he only sighed that Li Mingchen was a gentleman.

As far as the refusal of the official was spread, coupled with the words of Emperor Rongzhen, Li Mingchen's reputation ranged from centenarians to three-year-old children.

After that, Emperor Rongzhen even married his beloved Huang Shaojun, who is now His Majesty's compatriot younger brother, to Li Mingchen. Li Mingchen also lived up to the emperor's love.

Afterwards, these students and scholars all regarded Li Mingchen as an idol, and many people began to imitate him as an elegant scholar.

There are many successes among them, but there are also many failures.

The author has something to say: Let me tell you something, the archiver is already empty, so I have to wait until I code a few more chapters and the archives come out, and then wait a little bit (づ￣3￣)づ╭? ~ thanks
