Increasing the Clan's Influence, Paper Making Technique!
Assistant Minister Chang's position was very empty.
Tidas did not have to do anything.
It could be said that it was good to slack off for a while, and it would always be good to slack off.
After work, Tidas returned to the Ye residence and began his baby-making career.
He wanted to obtain the system reward by increasing the number of children.
Tidas said that it was purely for the rewards. After obtaining the rewards, he would be able to settle down in Great Qin.
He definitely had no selfish motives.
It was not because he was too happy to think about his home.
"Beauty, I'm here."
Tidas made a lascivious declaration and pushed open the beauty's door.
The red candle flickered.
The dim candlelight illuminated the room.
The beauty sat on the bed, her hands stirring the handkerchief, her face shy.
She called out coquettishly," Husband."
The red candle flickered.
Spring nights are short.
Another night passed.
The red candle burned out.
Tidas was like this almost every night.
"If this continues, even a cow won't be able to hold on.”
Tidas held his waist and felt that he needed to nourish it.
The cup was soaked with wolfberries.
The Yin and Yang nourishing soup could not be lacking.
After Tidas's hard work, his hard work finally bore fruit.
Tidas looked at the four concubines in front of him with satisfaction.
These people were already pregnant.
"It's no wonder I worked overtime every night. My hard work finally paid off.”
"Now, we just need to wait for the child to be born.”
Tidas thought to himself.
As long as the child was born, he could receive the system reward.
I wonder what kind of reward I can get?
Tidas was looking forward to it.
Although the products of the system were not all of the best quality, they were treasures to the ancient people.
For example, the world map, binoculars, and other items that the system had rewarded as newbies.
These items were common to modern people.
However, for the ancient people who had never seen these items before, they could be considered peerless treasures.
For example, a world map might not be of much use to modern people, but it could broaden the horizons of ancient people.
In ancient times, where transportation was not convenient, it would take several days and months to cross a province. Therefore, the vision of the ancients was not as broad as that of modern people. Perhaps they did not even know that other than Great Qin, the Xiongnu, the Yue, and the surrounding countries, there were other races and countries.
A detailed world map opened the eyes of the ancients, allowing them to clearly understand the entire world.
This was also the reason why Ying Zheng valued the world map so much.
As for the binoculars, as long as Ying Zheng and the others could use them in military affairs, they would be able to detect the enemy's situation and win the battle from thousands of miles away.
It could be said to be a military weapon.
"It will still take several months to give birth to a child. We can't waste this time.”
"If you want to obtain the system reward, you have to increase your children and expand your family's influence.”
It took time to give birth to children.
Tidas began to ponder how to use modern knowledge and this information gap to expand the family's influence.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the bamboo slips on the table, and an idea suddenly flashed in Tidas's mind.
"I got it! Why did I only remember now!"
"Paper Making Technique!"
Paper was involved in all aspects of modern life, such as books, paper cups, cardboard boxes, toilet paper, cardboard, and so on.
Modern civilization was almost inseparable from paper.
In this era, Tidas felt that the most inconvenient thing was not having paper.
Cloth was needed to wipe hands and snot, and cloth handkerchief had to be used many times. To go to the toilet, one needed to use a "toilet token", which was a smooth treated wooden or bamboo strip.
Tidas felt very uncomfortable.
But it was impossible for the Qin Dynasty to have paper.
After all, paper making was only developed during the Western Han Dynasty.
Cai Lun, the creator of the paper-making technique, had probably not been born yet.
Because there was no paper, the Qin Dynasty still used bamboo slips and wooden slips to carve words.
This was very inconvenient for Tidas.
The raw materials for making paper were tree bark, hemp, plant ash, and other items.
These items could be easily found even in this era.
Making paper was relatively easy and simple.
If paper was developed, it would probably be a revolution of the times, bringing a series of changes to the people of the Qin Dynasty. He no longer needed to write on bamboo slips or wooden slips, he no longer needed to use a handkerchief to wipe the dirt, and he no longer needed to use a toilet token to go to the toilet.
This was no doubt a huge revolution like the steam era entering the electrical era, which would bring great convenience to the people of the Qin Dynasty.
Moreover, if Tidas could make a paper, he would be able to expand the influence of the family!
"It's decided to be you, Paper Making Art!”
After Tidas decided to make paper, he began to make arrangements.
Buying raw materials for paper making.
Buy slaves and craftsmen.
In the purchase of raw materials, he chose the bark of the tree instead of hemp.
This was because the bark contained far more protein, sawdust, and pectins than hemp.
It can greatly increase the output of paper.
The disadvantage was that it was more difficult to remove the glue and make the pulp.
He chose plant ash water instead of lime water.
Plant ash water has a relatively high degree of basicity, which can improve the quality of paper pulp.
Other than buying raw materials to make paper, he also needed some auxiliary tools.
Material separation tool.
Beating tool.
It was a tool for filtering impurities and undecomposed fiber bundles.
Fishing paper utensils, bamboo mats.
While Tidas instructed the servants to buy raw materials, he also asked them to buy slave craftsmen.
Soon, dozens of slave craftsmen appeared in front of Tidas.
These slave craftsmen were dressed in coarse linen clothes. They lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads to offend Tidas.
"Master, according to your orders, the craftsmen have been bought.”
"These people include carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, bricklayers, bamboo craftsmen, and shavers.”
The servant pointed at the group of people and introduced them.
Tidas nodded and said,"Do you know why I came to find you?"”
"What does Milord want us to do? I'm a carpenter, and I'm good at carving all kinds of wooden furniture. No matter what kind of wooden furniture you want to make, I can complete it.”
The older craftsman said respectfully.
"The furniture?"
Tidas shook his head.
"I didn't buy you to make furniture, stone tools, or bamboo mats.”
"I want you to make paper."
The craftsmen widened their eyes in confusion.
Paper?
What was that?
The people of the Qin Dynasty had never come into contact with paper and had never seen paper before. Naturally, they did not know what paper was.
Their hearts were filled with anxiety and unease.
He didn't know how to make paper, he didn't know how to make it, he had never made it before.
What should he do?
The older craftsman said hesitantly,""Sir, we have never made paper before. A clever housewife cannot make bricks without rice.”
"Yes, sir. We have forged iron, chopped wood, and woven bamboo mats, but we have never made paper.”
The other craftsmen chimed in.
Tidas glanced at the uneasy crowd.
"I'll tell you how to do it."
"Just follow the steps I've told you.”
