Chapter 488 Cao Cao: Why did the kraft paper we promised turn into jelly? [Requesting monthly tickets]
“The plot of Journey to the West has begun, I don’t know what will be different this time.”
In the study, Li Yu pinched a grape and put it into his mouth, and started reading. He picked up "Journey to the West" in his hands.
Little Shimin on the side was eating the fried chicken and hamburgers bought by Yuwen Chengdu. He picked up his Coke cup and took a sip of ice-cold Feizhai Happy Water:
“What a pity. , I didn’t make it in time to see my royal brother off. I hope he will have a smooth journey.”
Yuwen Chengdu glanced at the little guy:
"Are you stupid? Xuanzang's journey was to overcome nine or eighty-one difficulties. If he wanted to go smoothly, he would have to go all over again. "
Li Shimin: "..."
You are the first person to say that I am stupid, very good, I will remember you, big man!
The little guy wanted to retort, but after all, cannibals have a short mouth, so he took a big bite of the Double Chicken Burger and forgave Yuwen Chengdu for his rude words.
With nothing to do, Li Shimin looked through the bag of salt sent by Liu Xie:
"It's so exquisite. When we occupy the salt pond, we will start producing official salt of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yu said:
“There are a bunch of salt lakes on the plateau. Remember to take them down when the time comes. By the way, we can completely subdue Tibet and don’t feed another white-eyed wolf.”
“Mr. Don’t worry, Brother Qin has already said that Tubo will be completely wiped out.”
After speaking, Li Shimin sat in front of the computer and began to check the minerals and other resources near Taiyuan to prepare for the next occupation of Taiyuan.
Yu Wen Chengdu was holding a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and carefully studying the plot inside.
Now that the imperial court has risen strongly, it has taken over all of Sili, all of Bingzhou, most of Xiliang, as well as Hanzhong County, the gateway to Sichuan, and Nanyang County, the north gate of Jingzhou.
Yuwen Chengdu read all the information on Yuan Shao, Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Sun Ce and others, fearing that there would not be many battles to fight after going there.
Equally worried is Zhao Yun, who is on his way to Jingxing in the Three Kingdoms world:
"I don't know the specific situation of the emperor and the others now. I'm really afraid that the battle will be over when we get there, and I won't be able to come back."
Ma Chao, who was controlling the drone to take pictures at the side, said:
"Brother Yun, don't worry. Even if the Water Margin says that there is no war in the Yue world, you can still go to the Sui and Tang world to show off your skills and teach that Luo Cheng a lesson."
Zhao Yun smiled, picked up the telescope, and Observing the mountain in the distance, he said:
"I may not be able to defeat Luo Cheng. His settings in "The Legend of Xing Tang" are very high. Even Li Yuanba cannot survive three moves in his hands."
Zhang Xiu held the surveying and mapping instruments and continuously measured distance, height difference and other data to prepare for the next map drawing.
He recalled the "Water Margin" and "The Complete Story of Yue Shuo" he had read, and said with certainty:
"The two books together spanned at least forty years. The war is definitely not over yet, and even if Liao and Jin are destroyed, there will still be rising grassland people... Genghis Khan, the genius of the generation, sounds quite bluffing. I hope General Zilong can kill him and give vent to us Han people. . ”
“Don’t worry, if there is a chance, Yun will never hold back!”
There are sick people in the car, and there is also the task of drawing a map, so everyone can’t walk fast! .
Every few dozen miles, they would get together, collect the photos, videos and data they had compiled, draw them on a map, and mark all the nearby peaks, mountain trails, etc.
When more of these maps are drawn, combined with those drawn by other generals, the whole picture of the great rivers and mountains will gradually be pieced together, and the Han Dynasty will have a map of the whole country in a substantial sense.
Hao Zhao pulled out the route map drawn by Gao Shun from his tablet and said:
"According to the current progress, we can reach the location of Shouyang County in the real world tomorrow. General Gao said there It’s a small town now, with dozens of families. When tomorrow comes, we can take a day off to compile the map.”
Ma Chao agreed:
"You are good at defense, I listen to you."
The four generals, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are all good at offense. Although Zhang Xiu has the title of the Spear King of the North in the original work, when he was stationed in Wancheng, he relied entirely on Jia Xu Help with management.
There is only one person, Hao Zhao, who possesses the Holy Body of Innate Defense. He is responsible for all the camping and resting along the way.
While the group was on their way, Sun Facai and Liu Xie were in a daze looking at the mountain-like coarse salt.
All the salt sent by the Hedong Family has been produced, and water has been released into the salt fields, but it will take a long time to dry it into salt grains.
In winter, the temperature is low and it is difficult to dry salt. Unlike spring and summer, water evaporates quickly and the salt fields will dry out quickly. Then you can just drive the forklift to collect the salt.
In order to increase production, Sun Facai asked Du Ji to hold a meeting with the wealthy families in Hedong with a whole bag of refined salt.
As long as they send the salt stored at home to the salt factory, they will be able to obtain Dahan official salt at a ratio of five to one in the future.
In other words, if you send five hundred kilograms of coarse salt, you can get one hundred packs of clean and white refined salt in the future.
Sun Facai originally had the mentality of poking a pole if there were dates but no dates. Unexpectedly, the aristocratic family went crazy when they saw the whole package of refined salt, and they transported all the coarse salt they had accumulated to the salt factory without stopping. , for fear that His Majesty and Dean Sun would regret it.
"Damn, what a loss!"
Sun Facai didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic. If he had known, he would have said ten to one.
Liu Xiecheng asked the guard on the side who was responsible for recording:
"How many kilograms?"
"According to the new weights and measures promulgated by His Majesty, it is already half a million kilograms. There are still many more on the way, and the total amount will probably reach 600,000 to 700,000 jins.”
One pound in the Han Dynasty was about 240 grams, and at the end of the Han Dynasty it dropped to about 200 grams.
In order to unify the measurement values, Liu Xie confirmed the weight of a pack of salt as a standard kilogram, which is the same as the real world of 500 grams per kilogram.
The reason why table salt is used as the standard is because this kind of bagged salt will enter thousands of households in the future. Other aristocratic families cannot imitate it and can only accept the standards set by the imperial court.
During the implementation process, there will naturally be people who argue that the ancestral law cannot be abolished to stop it, but Jia Xu has formulated a series of measures to ensure that the new weights and measures can be promoted.
In addition to the weight, the length of a foot is also determined to be 33.33 centimeters. In the future, there will be no big or small rulers. Measurements will be completely standardized. Ten millimeters are one centimeter, ten centimeters are one minute, ten centimeters are one cent, and ten inches are one foot. Ten feet and one foot, everything is based on this standard.
In addition, unified standards for volume, area, speed, time, etc. will gradually begin to be promoted in the Guanzhong Plain.
Wait until the people in the Guanzhong Plain accepted the new weights and measures, and then spread them to all parts of the country.
Sun Facai calculated the necessary packaging bags and said to Liu Xie:
"I will take people to install the wind turbine. You go to the real world and ask your master to prepare a hundred 10,000 salt packaging bags, and another 100,000 woven bags for salt. Don’t forget to print some Dahan Official Salt trademarks on them.” Something else?”
Sun Facai lit a cigarette and took a sip melancholy:
“Ask him to get me a better mattress. This bed is really uncomfortable to sleep on. It’s worse than my chicken. It’s so hard that I’m so scared.”
I’ve been away from home for more than ten days, and I miss my sister and my two sweet-smelling concubines.
Damn it, let alone the decadent feudal life, go to the edge of the salt pond and work blindly, it's really crazy... Sun Facai finished mumbling, flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and led the people to assemble the wind power. The generator went.
These generators are all lying on the ground beside the salt pond. When they are assembled, Zhang Daoling will be asked to come over and help put them up.
A pile of crawler cranes from XCMG and SANY are placed on top of a Zhang Daoling, which is simply an indispensable help for heavy equipment.
Liu Xie hurriedly came to the real world and conveyed the required number of packaging bags to Li Yu.
When Li Shimin saw his brother coming, he quickly shared the burgers, fried chicken, fries and other things Yuwen Chengdu bought.
Finally caught the opportunity to take advantage of a big player, but he couldn’t let his brother miss it.
Li Yu contacted the packaging manufacturer and placed an order for salt packaging bags and woven bags.
The boss there was frightened by the huge order. He called specifically to confirm that there was no extra zero, and then offered to give Li Yu a discount.
Liu Xie took a bite of a rattan pepper chicken drumstick and said to Li Yu:
"Sir, besides salt, what other equipment can Hedong County install?"
< br>"Iron can be smelted, but this involves mining coal... Let's first transfer coal from Chang'an, make iron ingots and send them to Chang'an Industrial Zone for fine processing."
Now that Hedong has just been recovered, It is not suitable for steel processing, and the quality of workers does not meet the standards of Chang'an Industrial Zone. You can do rough processing first, and then set up a steel plant after the quality of workers improves.
Liu Xie wrote them down one by one and planned to let Du Ji make iron in Hedong and take over the iron mines of the family.
After eating and drinking, he came to the warehouse. Li Yu moved a new mattress from the corner and asked Liu Xie to drive the electric fifth wheel back to Sun Facai to enjoy it.
After fiddling with these, Li Yu looked at the time, came to the door of the warehouse, and met Wang Shengli, who had made an appointment to go up the mountain together. Zhao Yun's family is coming. In addition to Zhao Yun and Zhao Xue, there are also three members of Zhao Feng's family. It would be a bit conspicuous if they all live in a B&B, and the rooms in the B&B are not suitable for a family to live.
Li Yu thought for a while and simply asked Wang Shengli to rent a yard on the mountain.
After the people in Shitou Village moved away, the village on the mountain was abandoned. Although Wu Song built a small villa, he has not moved in yet.
It’s too late to build a house now, but it’s still okay to rent a yard.
Today, Li Yu went to the mountains to look at the houses and choose a better one. He would clean it up briefly and prepare all the furniture and appliances so that Zhao Yun's family would not have no place to live.
After settling in, Professor Zhou helped the family register for residence. Diao Chan, who was at home during the summer vacation, gave Zhao Yun's nephew tutoring lessons. When the summer vacation was over, he happened to go to Shitouzhai Primary School down the mountain to study.
Wang Shengli placed the battery cart at the entrance of the warehouse and decided to walk up:
"When it comes to the courtyard above, the best one is probably Xiao Ju's house. Xiao Ju's father-in-law specially built a new house in order to prepare for his son's marriage. As a result, within half a year, the relocation project came to our place. In the end, it was still here The wedding was held in Shitouzhai New Village at the foot of the mountain. "
Li Yu didn't expect that Sister-in-law Xiaoju would do something like this:
"Then I'll pay more for the rent."
" Xiaoju and her father-in-law said that you can stay as long as you want. If there is a person in the house who is popular, he will not charge for it. "
Li Yu did not agree:
"Do whatever you want, don't let them suffer."
The group came to the mountain, and Li Yu saw the conspicuous new house of Xiaoju's house, which was made of red bricks and had two attics above. You can climb up and have a distant view.
Wang Shengli took out the key and opened the courtyard door. The grass inside was as tall as a person. Li Shimin, who was following him, was so frightened that he hid behind Yuwen Chengdu for fear of a snake emerging from the grass.
Yuwen Chengdu was not afraid at all. When he saw a sickle hanging behind the door, he grabbed it and started mowing the grass, finally clearing a way.
Walking into the yard, Li Yu saw that the house was equipped with a full set of sliding windows, a typical rural new Chinese style.
Wang Shengli opened the door, and the musty smell in the room hit his nose:
"Let the smell go away first, and then go in and clean it up tomorrow."
Li Yu took out a mask from his pocket and put it on , went in, opened all the windows, and took a look at the layout inside.
The house is very new, the wiring has been laid, and the number of furniture and appliances is zero, all of which need to be purchased again.
After turning around and locking the door, Li Yu and Yuwen Chengdu began to clean the yard.
Wang Shengli said:
"Bring a pot of herbicide over tomorrow and spray it around the house. Bugs like to burrow into the grass. Without grass, there will be fewer bugs."
Li Yuji After coming down, I plan to start from tomorrow. When I am not busy, I will come up and clean up for a while, just like exercising.
As for the yard, after the weeds are cleared, harden it with concrete directly. This is the best way to eliminate weeds, otherwise the weeds will grow wildly everywhere and cannot be cleared away at all.
After confirming to rent this house, Li Yu transferred 5,000 yuan to Wang Shengli:
"Uncle Wang, give this money to Xiaoju and her father-in-law. Let's rent it for one year first, and then decide whether to renew the contract after one year."
In one year, Zhao Feng's family should have completely adapted to the real world. Life, if they want to move to the city when the time comes, just give them a house or go somewhere else. There is no need to stay here all the time.
Wang Shengli collected the money, everyone locked the courtyard door and went down the mountain together.
After Wang Shengli rode away on the battery car, Li Shimin asked in confusion:
"Sir, Aunt Xiaoju is at the B&B. Why not give her the money instead of asking the village chief to forward it to her? ?”
Li Yu said:
“This house was built day and night by the old couple. Now that we are leasing it, we naturally have to contact them... Although the money may eventually fall into the hands of Sister-in-law Xiaoju, but the old couple The couple giving her money has a different effect than us giving it to her."
Li Shimin always thinks about his love affairs:
"It feels so complicated, I hope Sister Wuguo. The relationship with my parents won’t be so complicated.”
With nothing to do, Li Yu drove down the mountain to buy herbicides. He also bought about ten kilograms of pig skins and planned to clean them up and cook some pigs. Skin jelly.
It's too hot now and I have no appetite for anything else, but the cold skin jelly is more appetizing.
Buy the pig skin, soak it for a while, then blanch it in a pot for about ten minutes, take it out, scrape off the stubble and grease on the pig skin, leaving only the gelatinous part.
Then clean it, put it in clean water and simmer it over low heat.
The same scene was also staged in Chenliu County in the Three Kingdoms world.
Cao Cao, who replied to the letter saying that he wanted to return to Jinan, is now squatting next to a large pot, looking at the paste cooking in it and asking:
"How long?"
"My lord, it has been a day and a night. All the cowhide has been completely boiled into a paste. But can this thing really be made into paper?"
Boss Cao's The mentality is very good:
"Let it dry first and try it. Anyway, these are all cattle that died of illness. If it doesn't work, just treat it as a joke."
The officials who were lighting the fire stopped. Turn off the fire in the stove, put the paste in the pot into a wooden bucket, and plan to let it dry before spreading it on the bamboo curtain to try it.
Cao Cao went to see how the fish scales and swim bladders were being cooked. Whether he could make that kind of white and beautiful paper would depend on this attempt.
Now he doesn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and the counties in Yanzhou are not dealing with each other. Lao Cao tried to mediate, but with little effect.
Yesterday, someone told Zhang Miao that the imperial army was about to attack, hinting that the young boy would join forces with him. As soon as Zhang Miao heard this, he immediately planned to lead his troops to meet the heavenly army and send Ah I was so angry that I didn't even eat dinner.
Since Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao turned against each other, the relationship between Cao Cao and Zhang Miao has also become subtle.
I guess Zhang Miao has already noticed that the two young men of his have unique skills and are unwilling to succumb to others.
But Chenliu is Zhang Miao's territory, and no one else can get involved.
When the simmered cowhide was no longer so hot, the two scribes brought bamboo curtains and prepared to try to make smooth and strong kraft paper.
But when they scooped up the paste from the pot and poured it on the bamboo curtain, the scene they imagined turning into paper did not appear. Instead, it all leaked out.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said in a strict manner:
"Is it the bamboo curtain that is wrong? Try changing the mat."
Soon, a mat made of reeds was brought over, and a spoonful of paste was poured on it. After a while, it really solidified.
Boss Cao had surprise on his face:
“Look, look, has it turned into paper?”
Everyone tried it, but they couldn’t lift it up at all. Look, It tastes like half-melted pine gum.
Cao Ang, who was on the sidelines, finally saw some tricks:
"Father, this thing is not paper at all. We have been deceived."
Everyone thought that Cao Cao would be angry or scold Lu Bu, but unexpectedly he just raised his head and laughed for a while:< br>
"A mere kid with a yellow mouth can fool us around. Fengxian has so many talented people!"
After saying that, he pinched the solidified paste and put it in his mouth, planning to You will gain wisdom after every experience, remember this lesson, but the result was not as expected, this thing tastes pretty good.
He brought a bowl and filled half of it with paste.
It was cold now, and the paste in the bowl solidified quickly.
Cao Cao scratched it a few times with the knife he carried with him, picked up a piece and tasted it. He felt that the taste was indeed good, but it had no taste.
He thought for a while and ordered to his eldest son:
"Ang'er, bring some vinegar. This thing seems to be food..."
He hasn't finished yet. He raised his head and laughed again:
"I have been working hard for a few days, thinking I could make a paper that would make friends with aristocratic families, but in the end I made a pot of food... interesting, really interesting!"
Cao Ang brought the vinegar and Cao Cao added it to the bowl. Some, I took a bite with chopsticks, and my eyes suddenly lit up:
"This thing is quite delicious, Ang'er, give your mother a bowl quickly! In addition, give it to Wenze, Mancheng, Zhongkang and others Give some to everyone and tell them that this thing is so beautiful that you must try it!” It has something to do with Lutide. I have been playing for a year and my physical fitness has plummeted. I am going to stop next week. I will only try Chinese medicine... I will temporarily update it today. Sorry, brothers.
