Chapter 179 Three kinds of paper, getting to know Cai Yong(1/2)
Zhang Mancheng had already given Qin Yu a copy of the information he collected about Chu Gong.
This was of course Zhang Jiao's signal behind his back.
Qin Yu was not surprised by this either.
It was precisely because of Qin Yu's understanding of Chu Gong that he told Chu Gong this.
Although the power of the aristocratic families in this era is far from irresistible.
But at this time, there seemed to be signs of this happening.
It is really difficult for children from poor families to get ahead.
The monopoly of knowledge and the monopoly of human connections have become the nourishment for the family to continue to develop and become a behemoth.
It is naturally impossible for ordinary people to change this kind of thing.
But if someone can really break the family's knowledge monopoly.
It's hard to say what the final result will be.
As a prefect, Chu Gong naturally understood the twists and turns much more thoroughly than Qin Yu.
If Qin Yu could really get the kind of paper he mentioned.
The things behind that made Chu Gong feel a little numb when he thought about it.
"Is this really possible?" Chu Gong thought for a long time, but in the end he still didn't dare to believe it directly, so he asked again.
Qin Yu nodded and said: "This is natural, but for me, the most difficult thing now is not papermaking, but the missing classics."
"If there is paper but no classics to record, then there is nothing we can do."
Chu Gong didn't hesitate much and said: "This is easy. Xiaozhi, just go and study the art of papermaking. If the kind of paper you mentioned comes out in the future, I can give you the letters I have collected over the years. Wait for you
Can you copy it?"
When Qin Yu heard this, he immediately stood up, bowed to Chu Gong, and said: "In this way, I will thank the prefect for your great kindness on behalf of everyone under my rule!"
Chu Gong accepted Qin Yu's gift calmly, with a smile on his fat face, and said: "There is no need to be too polite to be filial. I still need you to take care of this matter. I guess if there really is the kind of paper you mentioned,
Even if I don't have to come, there will still be many famous people in the world who will come here."
After saying that, Chu Gong's face turned slightly solemn and said, "But have you already thought about this matter?"
"Do you know what it would mean to the aristocratic family if we had that kind of paper?"
Qin Yu smiled and said: "I understand this. Please rest assured, Prefect, I don't care about those people."
Although Chu Gong didn't know where Qin Yu got such confidence.
But thinking about Qin Yu's previous experience and the resources at his disposal, this kind of thing is not just empty talk.
"That's good. Just go ahead and do the papermaking. I will provide you with some future classics."
"But there's one more thing you need to be careful about."
"This time, the craftsmen you recruit must be carefully screened."
Qin Yu responded.
After a few more chats, Chu Gong said goodbye and left.
Look at the back of the prefect turning around and leaving.
Qin Yu was thoughtful.
In fact, Chu Gong didn't need to give him any advice. He knew very well that there would definitely be many spies among the craftsmen this time.
He has done so many things, if those powerful families don't do something behind his back.
Then it is impossible for them to be powerful people from aristocratic families.
Qin Yu will definitely not underestimate the smart people of this era.
But that's all.
No matter how smart those smart people are, it is absolutely impossible for them to know that they are systematic.
And this system of his also gave Qin Yu enough confidence in selecting others.
According to the judgment of the system.
As long as those craftsmen are sincerely recruited by Qin Yu, they will naturally become Qin Yu's subordinates under the judgment of the system.
If you want to change the entries for them, there will be no obstacles from the system.
to the opposite.
If those craftsmen were sent by powerful families from the beginning and came with different intentions.
They were never the ones Qin Yu could change his entries from the beginning.
At that time, Qin Yu only needs to observe their respective entries.
Naturally, their identities can be seen clearly at a glance.
After sending Chu Gong away.
Qin Yu then began to upgrade his papermaking skills.
This papermaking technique is exactly the same as that of Caihou Zhi that Lou Gui brought back before.
really.
With Cai Houzhi's papermaking method, if Qin Yu wants to upgrade his entries, it will be much easier.
Only one green fragment is needed.
He will be able to upgrade the [ordinary papermaking technology] in front of him into [excellent papermaking technology].
Qin Yu chose to upgrade without hesitation.
As a golden light shone, many densely packed small characters appeared on the silk book in front of them that recorded the art of papermaking.
Qin Yu took the upgraded papermaking technique in his hand and browsed it roughly.
Then he discovered that in the upgraded papermaking technology.
There are three different types of paper depending on the raw materials used.
One of them is rattan paper, the raw material of which is very common in this era.
They are those wild vines that grow wildly in the wild.
The other is bamboo paper, and the other is rice paper made from sandalwood bark.
Three different types of paper, each with its own advantages.
Among them, rattan paper and bamboo paper can be widely used as paper for transcribing classics and documents.
As for rice paper, of course it’s awesome.
This is truly high-end product.
The materials and workmanship required to produce high-quality rice paper all need to be extremely refined.
But this kind of rice paper definitely has an irresistible attraction for those literati.
Qin Yu suddenly became excited when he saw the method of making rice paper.
In my mind, I immediately thought of a person.
Cai Yong!
This is the top calligraphy master in this era.
If there is such a thing as rice paper, if you want to get acquainted with it, the chance of success will be much greater.
And Cai Yong is not only good at calligraphy.
His knowledge is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If a master like Cai Yong could be brought to him.
Many of the difficult things that Qin Yu thought about in the past will probably be solved!
He doesn't need to know about other people.
But Cai Yong still knew it very well.
Hold back and ask why.
Anyway, Qin Yu knew that based on the current time, Cai Yong should still be fleeing in Wu.
This old man must be sorted out!
Qin Yu chuckled.
Then he followed Feng Ji to screen the craftsmen who were recruited because of their paperwork.
He has a keen eye for observing people at the right time and a dual grasp of Qin Yu’s entries.
soon.
