sjar Chapter 15 Papermaking
Chapter 15 Papermaking
Cai Lun, as the inventor of paper, invented a basic papermaking process that is still in use today. Most importantly, his invention of Cai Hou paper has had a profound influence on all types of paper in China. However, paper also developed rapidly from this time. Below, I found a video about papermaking. Those who want to study it can take a look!
By the way! I hope the common people of the Qin Dynasty and the Mohists can learn a lot from this.
Give your Majesty some relief!
Your Majesty, Qin Shi Huang, was very diligent, but in Qin times, most documents were written on bamboo slips. It is said that he had to read 120 catties of official documents every day. He also held absolute power and handled everything in detail, which led to him being overworked and eventually his body could not take it!
So you can all try your best! If His Majesty gets better, you'll all be better off! If you're better off, your lives will improve!
999 System: Host, this is PUA!
Lin Ke: Get lost! The wisdom of the people is boundless! This is about unleashing potential!
秦
The First Emperor never expected that there would be descendants who would like him; he thought that his reputation as a tyrant would be completely forgotten by posterity!
"Pass down the order: whoever produces paper will be rewarded!" A decree was sent from Xianyang to the whole country.
Chinese
Liu Che gritted his teeth. Wasn't Lin Ke being treated differently? This favoritism wasn't a one-off occurrence!
Liu Zhuzhu: I am your ancestor, how can I favor the First Emperor!
Lin Ke: ...Although I really want to say yes, this is really not a swear word?
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: I am also your ancestor!
General Judy (who led the Northern Expedition): Count me in!
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: Then we are your ancestors!
First Emperor: Why bother arguing with a child!
Lin Ke: Family, who would have thought? I'm surrounded by a bunch of ancestors!
Lin Ke had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright, my ancestors, let's start watching!"
A man carrying a machete came to a bamboo grove, then cut down a dozen or so tender bamboo stalks, peeled off their green outer skin, and pounded the bamboo to flatten them. He then soaked them in water and weighed them down with several stones...
Then, after three months, take it out, cut it into several small sections, pour lime into a water vat, submerge the bamboo, soak it for three months, and then take it out to dry in the sun...
The scene shifts, and the man lays the paper flat and unfolds it, letting it dry naturally until it becomes a sheet of paper.
999 System: Host, the development of each dynasty can be converted into the emperor's merit points. After upgrading, the world's development ranking will display each dynasty in mid-air. Hehe, roll it up! Oh, by the way, the points you receive can be converted into cash!
Lin Ke: No wonder you didn't tell me before you upgraded!!!
Lin Ke hurriedly exchanged the money for cash, and then bought several large packs of paper and toilet paper for her favorite historical figures!
Qin Shi Huang period
Ying Zheng was processing bamboo slips when a large bundle of paper and a small bundle of paper suddenly appeared on the table, seemingly containing a letter.
[Brother Zheng, this is Lin Ke! The large package contains paper for later generations, and the small package contains paper for use in the toilet! Also, out of my affection for you, I would like to remind you that the Qin Dynasty died after the Second Emperor because Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Huhai conspired to alter your decree, ordering the death of Fusu. They also feared that news of your death would leak out, so they put you and abalone together. I suggest you marinate them as well!]
In the end, many officials, princes, and princesses were killed by Huhai, and soon your entire clan will be wiped out!
These people don't need to be dealt with! But that brat Xu Fu must die! He lied to you!!! A few can be kept to research gunpowder for alchemy!!! It's incredibly powerful!
The First Emperor's face turned ashen, his eyes blazing with fury. The attendants in the hall trembled, managing to utter a few names with difficulty. From their emperor's tone, they knew these people were doomed.
"Summon Huhai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si to the palace."
As soon as Li Si and his entourage entered the palace, they saw the First Emperor's gloomy face. Before they could even pay their respects, they were captured by Meng Yi.
Hu Hai was the first to tremble, and asked in a trembling voice, "Father, did Hu Hai do something wrong?"
Zhao Gao seized the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, the Eighteenth Prince is still young. If you must punish someone, punish this servant instead."
Li Si was truly speechless. No, didn't you two notice that something was amiss?
Li Si glanced at the two large bags on the stage and wondered if they were related to Lin Ke. She came from the future, and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed by the Second Emperor. Could the fall of Qin be related to us?
The First Emperor calmly asked, "Li Si, have I been good to you?"
After much deliberation, Li Si said, "Your Majesty has shown me great favor by promoting me. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I wouldn't have been able to get here."
"Do you know what you will do in the future? Look at how you treat me!" The First Emperor glanced at the three men and threw the letter to Li Si.
Li Si read ten lines at a glance, as if someone had his throat choked. This... if the First Emperor were to die, he might do this for the sake of power! But he never imagined that the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed by his own hand!
Standardizing cart tracks, unifying writing, and standardizing weights and measures—these are Your Majesty's achievements, and I, Li Si, also contributed my share. Your Majesty and I have devoted much effort to this cause. How could this be the end of an era when the great edifice was about to collapse?
Li Si wept bitterly, clinging to the First Emperor's leg and wailing, "Your Majesty, our Great Qin Dynasty has vanished just like that! I deserve to die, Zhao Gao deserves to die, Hu Hai deserves to die!"
