Qin asked

Four years later, Mo Dou was nine years old and Ying Zheng was 12 years old.

Mo Dou has been squatting by the stove for a long time, although four years is not enough for him to grow up, but at least he is no longer a little bean, and at this moment he is staring at the color of the flame without blinking, as a way to to adjust the flame temperature.

"My lord, you can rest for a while, there is an umbrella here."

Mo Dou shook his head: "It's okay, I'll just wait here, but you should go and rest first."

Umbrella has also been squatting with Mo Dou for a long time, and he has changed a lot. It seems that because of the replenishment of nutrients, he looks different every day. Tired, but the umbrella is not very difficult.

Shan shook his head to reject Mo Dou's kindness, how could a servant rest before his master?

The two, one tall and the other short, are like two blacksmith brothers standing still by the stove in the summer, but probably no one would have guessed that the little man is actually the master.

After waiting for half an hour, they felt that the time was almost up. They carefully stuffed the wood into it, and then took out the coal to gradually lower the temperature. When they saw the flame from orange to bright red, they gradually Extinguished the flame, pulled out the contents - a cloud of transparent and slightly green solution appeared in front of the two of them.

Become!

Mo Dou was overjoyed in his heart, but he was more careful with his hands. He took out the concave mold that had been prepared, cut a section of the solution that was about to condense with scissors, and placed it in it. Time to completely cool and condense.

"Young master, is this done?"

It was the first time for Shan to see Mo Dou perform this operation, and he was looking forward to it.

Mo Dou nodded reservedly, but he didn't hold back, he burst out laughing again, and stopped holding it, and even started talking nonsense because he gave up the treatment.

"Yes. It worked! Glass, I finally made it! No, glass is so useful, I have to write a book 'A Hundred Ways of Using Glass'!"

It's really not easy, God knows how much energy Mo Dou spent on this glass.

Making glass requires a temperature above 1000 degrees, while the temperature of the flame is above 600 degrees when burning wood, and the temperature of the flame is above 1000 degrees only when burning coal.For this reason, Mo Dou spent a day comparing ancient and modern maps on Baidu to find out where there are coal mines in Xianyang, and it took more than a year to find them.

Not to mention that there are also limestone, quartz stone, and trona that need to be found one by one.

If it wasn't for Ying Zheng's unconditional Mo Dou behind the scenes, Mo Dou didn't even collect all the materials, and there were countless gossips during the period. Mo Dou is not afraid of these, success or failure has its own posterity, and he is confident that if someone knows about the history after 2000 His presence and evaluation are absolutely positive.

What Mo Dou was worried about was Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng acted as if he had never heard what others said. It was always Mo Dou who bit people and asked for money.

Countless manpower and material resources were spent in it. If it weren't for Ying Zheng's unconditional support behind Mo Dou, Mo Dou wouldn't even be able to try the experiment.

Now that the glass has finally been made, even if Mo Dou has Baidu's technical support, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Mo Dou was gearing up, wishing he could get out of the telescope and the greenhouse in the next second, and he didn't control his strength until he saw the umbrella standing beside him in a daze.

"Shan, you have worked hard these days, I will allow you to take a few days off and have a good rest."

Although Umbrella glanced curiously at the slightly abnormal ink fountain, she still retreated obediently.

Mo Dou wiped the sweat off his face, only to find that his body was covered with sweat and sticky, so he hurried to take a bath, and during this process, Mo Dou could laugh from time to time, if others saw it, he would definitely You will feel that Mo Dou is a psychopath.

It took Mo Dou a long time to suppress his excitement, and after making sure that he would not suddenly laugh out nervously, he went back to the house to do serious things.

Take two books and two stacks of paper from the shelf.Open the last page of one of the books, record the recipe of the glass raw material just now, and then check it from head to toe to make sure there are no mistakes before closing the book.

These two books are used to record the process of ink fountain making paper and glass respectively.

After making the most basic Caihou paper, Mo Dou transported a large amount of bamboo from the south according to the historical development process, and finally made bamboo paper.

Although Zuobo paper is also famous in later generations, the raw material of Zuobo paper is mainly mulberry, and the main producing area of ​​mulberry is Shandong, so Zuobo made paper in Shandong.Because the raw materials and craftsmanship of Zuobo paper are more complicated than bamboo paper, it is not conducive to the development of paper consumption at that time, and it has only become a small variety of Chinese handmade paper in later generations. (Note 1)

The method of making bamboo paper is clearly stated in "Song Yingxing·Tiangong Kaiwu·Finishing", which even mentions the recycling of waste paper. It is more convenient to make ink fountain than Caihou paper.

Mo Dou looked at the finished product in front of him, thinking about when to give it to Ying Zheng. You must know that Mo Dou was eager to make these two things for their own purposes and purposes.

Now Ying Zheng is 12 years old. According to historical records, he will be the King of Qin next year.

And after Qin State ascended the throne in Yingzheng, all the forces were ready to move, and they all wanted to take advantage of the young king to do some big things: the Jinyang rebellion, the rebellion of Chang'an Lord, the Allied Forces of the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin State, and even God deliberately made things difficult for Yingzheng. Severe drought-locust plague-severe drought-locust plague-severe drought-locust plague has three rounds of natural disasters for six consecutive years, not to mention the outbreak of plague.

Listed one by one, Mo Dou was terrified, so he gritted his teeth and made sure to get the glass out first.

In any case, it is true that glass can be exchanged for money and food, and it can also be used as a treasure to sow discord during a war.

As for paper, Mo Dou was prepared to be used by Ying Zheng to attract talents.

The young emperor of 13 years, ghost knows how the historical Yingzheng defeated Lu Buwei. In Mo Dou's eyes, even the later Kangxi is not as good as his own Yingzheng.

You must know that although Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, five years younger than Yingzheng, he has always been educated by the royal family, and Yingzheng had been a hostage for eight years before!

Besides, to be honest, Oboi might not be as powerful as Lu Buwei. You must know that Lu Buwei single-handedly manages the military factories in Qin State and has the highest decision-making power.

All in all, in Mo Dou's eyes, Ying Zheng is the best, so he stepped on it and held back!

So first give this glass plate to Ying Zheng... He owes Ying Zheng too much money, so pay it back first...

The promotion of paper involves too much, so we still have to figure it out gradually.
