Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Ma Su's concierge has resigned. The original concierge came back before the Spring Festival and said that he had brought his parents and his wife to live in Gong'an County.

"Thanks to Liu Jingzhou's blessing, my humble wife gave birth to a fat boy."

The original concierge's face was dark, but when he said this, his face was filled with joy.

Although it sounds strange to Ma Su, it is quite good to be able to share a red egg with good taste.

After finishing the red egg in a small mouth, he looked up and saw Mr. Kong Ming smiling at him.

Ma Su blushed. It was really out of style to eat while walking.

Kong Ming smiled and waved over to assign Ma Su a new job.

"Chopping firewood?" Ma Su was confused and aggrieved.

"It's not just about cutting firewood." Kong Ming explained patiently: "I will give you ten strong men to accompany you. We will cut down the vegetation around Gong'an County. Cut down thirty kilograms of each type according to category. I will have a lot of use in transporting it to the county."

What good can this do? During the Spring Festival, the county government wants to stew pork for a banquet for the village elders?

Ma Su, full of doubts, took the order and left.

Behind the public security county house, Sun Qian called for the craftsmen again.

Because Kong Ming has now officially moved his office to the side hall, other public buildings are temporarily unavailable. Liu Bei waved his hand: Now that we know the formula, we can also make paper!

After Kong Ming calculated the cost and selling price of Zuo Bo Paper in detail for Liu Bei, everyone present was moved.

A roll of Zuo Bo's leather paper is almost the same as a bolt of silk, worth 1,200 yuan.

But the cost is just adding mulberry bark as a raw material in the process of making hemp paper, which sells for 180 yen.

The selling price has increased more than ten times, which is really...

"Why would I, Lao Zhang, be a butcher if he had such means?" This was Zhang Fei's sigh.

Sun Qian couldn't help but smile when he thought of General Zhang's words:

After traveling with his lord for ten years, Sun Qian felt like he was in a dream with the foundation of Jingzhou. Now, the blessing from heaven has made Sun Qian firm on his long-held idea:

The Lord is truly a hero of the Han Dynasty!

"What is this doing?"

Sun Qian turned around and looked at him, saluted and said, "Mr. Liu just came back?"

"My lord has just moved to Jingzhou this year, so he will celebrate the Spring Festival." Liu Yan smiled and said, "Gongyou, we have known each other for ten years. You can call me Wei Shuo as many times as you like."

Seeing that the craftsmen were leveling the ground in the backyard, and hammers were placed next to the low houses, which were about to be demolished and rebuilt, Liu Yan was very curious:

"My lord, do you want to rebuild this place and use it as a governance center?"

"No." Sun Qian shook his head and said, "My lord, seeing that there is a lot of open space here, plans to make paper here."

"Papermaking?" Liu Yan raised his head and thought: "What is it used for?"

"Sell for money."

If he didn't understand, he didn't want to think about it. Liu Yan changed his mind and asked, "Where's my lord? I brought back a few jars of the good wine from Zhang's family in Jiangdong. My lord will definitely like it!"

"My lord has gone to find the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing." Sun Qian said honestly.

"Zhang Zhongjing?" Liu Yan was confused: "A miracle doctor?"

"Miracle doctor!" Sun Qian nodded, very sure.

Liu Yan rubbed the back of his head. I have only been away from Gongan County for three months. Why does it seem like three years have passed?

At night at Zhuge's house, after dinner, they asked the servants to take Zhuge Qiao and Zhuge Guo to play as usual. Kong Ming and Huang Yueying talked about themselves around the heater.

"My lord has talked with me. In a few days, the county will set up a craftsmanship department, which will still be under my control. I want to recruit you as a craftsmanship officer."

Kong Ming smiled and said: "Don't you feel bad that Zuo Bo paper is too expensive? Our first step is to make this Zuo Bo paper."

"Where did my lord buy the secret recipe?" Huang Yueying asked curiously.

"It's a long story." Kong Ming thought for a while and took the bamboo tube that he never left, extracted the last few volumes of the light curtain copied inside, and told Huang Yueying in detail one by one. Understand the ins and outs.

Yesterday, before my lord left, he had a private discussion with Kong Ming. In view of the importance that later generations placed on technology and craftsmen, a craftsmanship department was first established in Gong'an County. The first thing he did was to restore the printing technology mentioned by Zuo Bo Paper and Light Curtain. .

The Ministry of Medicine and Industry is also in the process of making preparations, and Zhang Zhongjing is the only one who can claim that everything is ready. The successive deaths of important officials of the Shu Han Dynasty as mentioned by Guangmu cast a haze in Liu Bei's heart.

Huang Yueying's eyes sparkled when she heard the mysterious things, but when she heard Kong Ming's confession that he might have died on the march due to overwork and illness at the age of fifty-four, she secretly shed tears again.

"My husband is like this, how can I live alone?"

Kong Ming sighed and hugged Yueying into his arms: "We will never be like this."

So she said Wen Yan to comfort her for a while. Huang Yueying temporarily revealed the matter and quickly understood:

"Then the curved plow and round cart from last month are also..."

"That's right."

"That's it!" Huang Yueying suddenly realized, and a smile broke out on her face again:

"But husband, it's better not to set up the Ministry of Industry and Skills in the county government. Let me show you something."

Huang Yueying stood up and pulled Kong Ming through the hall and to a small room in the backyard.

Lighting the copper lamp lightly, Kong Ming saw the scene in front of him: on the table was a round car only the size of a palm, which was placed in a groove cut out of a log. The round car was also connected by cranks and other components. There are the same small stone grinders, mortars and other things.

Before Kong Ming could figure it out, Huang Yueying picked up the half bucket of water next to her and carefully poured the water into the log trench.

The water drove the round cart to rotate in circles, the round cart drove the wooden handle, and the wooden handle drove the stone mill and mortar.

An all-rounder like Kong Ming is no stranger to craftsmanship. After looking around twice, he understood the advantages:

"No need for any human power?"

"More than that..." Kong Ming murmured: "If the round cart is expanded five times, and the millstone and mortar are also expanded to five times the size, only three of them can meet the needs of the entire Public Security County, and we can order them one by one. For a fee, even if you only charge 70% of the market price... No, no, no, if you only charge 50%, all the public security counties in Guizhou can come here to process grain!"

"No, no, no, what if we only charge 12% or even nothing?" Kong Ming anxiously walked around the room. He could feel that there seemed to be a gap in the door in his mind, and the charming golden light was revealed in the gap.

Huang Yueying could understand her husband's impatience, so she thought together:

"If we charge only 10% to 20%, wouldn't the pressure on widows and widowers in the county be greatly reduced?"

"A widower can easily make a living..." Kong Ming thought along the way: "The workload has been greatly reduced."

"If there is something like a round cart in the fields that can be used for farming with water..."

"The head of Guizhou will not have to work all year round." Huang Yueying seemed to understand: "If you have enough food and clothing, and know etiquette, the era of great rule will be around the corner."

But soon Huang Yueying poured cold water on it: "How much wood is needed to spread all over Kyushu? How many craftsmen are needed?"

"Furthermore, the water power is endless, and the joints of the round car are strained very quickly. As my husband said, it expands five times in size... No, it doesn't need to be five times, even three times. The wooden parts at the joints may only be able to support half a day."

"All of this costs a lot of money, and the round cart can only be used in places with strong currents. How many places in Kyushu can meet these requirements?"
