Chapter 61 Jinan Battle Report
If someone showed such an expression in front of him, Zuo Bo would have driven him away, but the person in front of him was Tao Ying with a prominent identity. Zuo Bo endured the unhappiness in his heart and did not attack.
"I wonder what the governor of County Tao has, so I hope I will give you advice?"
Zuo Bo also wanted to know Tao Ying's idea, which was completely different from his attitude of being "shocked" when he first met at the door.
"Ziyi is too simple and backward. To be honest, you have no future if you do this!"
Tao Ying didn't keep it a secret and said his impressions bluntly.
"Wenheng, go get some food."
Back in the living room with Zuo Bo, it was almost dark, and it was time to spend dinner. Tao Ying had not seen anyone else in Zuo Bo's family show up for a long time. He knew it was difficult to get the food from Zuo Bo's family, so he sent Yan Liang to the army to get food.
"Mr. Zuo, I have a new method of making paper. If a craftsman is enough, I can produce four feet of rice paper ten pieces a day, which is only one thousand pieces. The paper is white and soft, soaked and protected ink, with delicate fibers and toughness. I wonder if Mr. Zuo is willing to do things for my pottery?"
Tao Ying's words fell, Zuo Bo suddenly stood up, grabbed Tao Ying's arm, and his eyes suddenly turned red without blinking for a moment.
"Are you saying true?"
Zuo Bo no longer cared about his incompetence. He stared at Tao Ying, just trying to confirm whether Tao Ying was talking nonsense and making fun of him.
Of course, Zuo Bo wanted to know if Tao Ying's method of making paper is true. Zuo Bo was not relieved about Tao Ying's recruitment.
"Is there really a method of making paper as the county magistrate said in the world?"
It is not a big mistake for Zuo Bo to suspect that it has been nearly a hundred years since the emergence of "Cai Hou Paper". Although the paper technology has been constantly improved, there has not been much breakthrough. Otherwise, the writing tools would not have remained on bamboo slips and silk.
"My method of making paper is bamboo, so this kind of paper is also called 'bamboo paper'."
Zuo Bo's reaction was naturally as Tao Ying expected. He was not angry at his loss at all. Instead, he felt more relieved and happy. This is the manifestation of "technical control".
"This paper can be said to be light paintings that are not gray, light and thick, thick and light, poetry has the atmosphere of mist and clouds, and calligraphy has the posture of dragon and tiger."
Tao Ying further tempted Zuo Bo to let him understand the difference between "Zuo Bo paper" and bamboo paper.
"Of course, as for papermaking, the most core process is nothing more than pulping."
Tao Ying casually pointed the core of papermaking, which made Zuo Bo put away his suspicion and contempt for Tao Ying. If he could propose the core of papermaking, it would naturally be targetless.
"That's right!"
Zuo Bo muttered to himself.
"Uh... the villain is rude!"
After finding that he was almost close to Tao Ying's body, Zuo Bo, who was shocked, immediately let go of Tao Ying's arm, took a step back, bowed to apologize to Tao Ying, and showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"No obstacle, I can understand Ziyi's mood!"
Seeing that Tao Ying was not angry, his eyes were warm and there was a smile on his face, Zuo Bo felt much more at ease.
"I dare to ask the governor of County Master Tao, where is the master of this 'bamboo paper' craft?"
Zuo Bo never believed that Tao Ying was engaged in paper research, otherwise he would not have been condescending to surrender to him.
"I accidentally obtained this new papermaking technique from a silly man, and I was fortunate to witness the new paper. Unfortunately, this person's life span has ended and he has risen to heaven!"
In order to justify the truth, the "prophet" Tao Ying had to make up a myth for Zuo Bo.
"If Ziyi is willing to do things for Tao Ying, I am willing to teach Ziyi the new method of making paper and establish a paper workshop in Taishan County with thousands of people simultaneously produced, which is managed by Ziyi."
Zuo Bo was stunned, and then his heart was surging, and his blood was surging. He immediately took his head and bowed.
"Zuo Bo has met his lord!"
No way to worship, in the hearts of craftsmen, any technology is used to pass on the family. Tao Ying is willing to pass on the papermaking technique that changed the times to an outsider, so naturally, Tao Ying should be relieved.
"There should be a son and a great cause is expected!"
Zuo Bo recognized the master, Tao Ying sighed with a sigh of relief, and the joy on his face was unconcealed.
For Tao Ying, it is easy to obtain a thousand troops, and it is easy to obtain a strategy, and it is also easy to obtain a military general. Only "the craftsman of a great country" like Zuo Bo and Pu Yuan is the most rare.
"Haha, my brother's 'root digging plan' has taken another solid step!"
To solve the gentry once and for all, the powerful monopoly on talents, and prevent new clans from appearing in the future, Tao must start with education, and paper plays a key role.
"Ziyi, I don't have much time, so I will teach you the manufacturing process of bamboo paper to you now."
Zuo Bo recognized the master, Tao Ying did what he said, and now he gave full teachings of the new papermaking process in later generations.
From chopping bamboo, cutting green, copying, to pounding materials in the pulping process, picking up materials, breaking materials; from slurry in the papermaking process entering the trough, stirring the wooden rake, removing the coarse tendons, pressing and removing water, baking and grinding the edges of the paper, all the processes are clearly explained.
Zuo Bo was originally a master of papermaking. Tao Ying finished talking about the craftsmanship of bamboo paper. After a little thought, he instantly integrated it. Even the problems he encountered in the process of making "Zuo Bo Paper" were solved.
"Disciple Zuo Bo, thank you lord!"
Resisting the inner excitement, Zuo Bo was convinced again, and kneeled respectfully and gave a disciple ceremony to Tao Ying.
"When it comes to knowing etiquette, we must be the ancients!"
This time Tao Ying was not artificial and accepted Zuo Bo's bowing calmly. This is respect for both sides and the ancients' respect for knowledge and teacher. There is no distinction between class and noble and humbleness.
Tao Ying helped Zuo Bo up and taught Zuo Bo the characteristics of assembly line operations in later generations, which not only increased the output but also prevented the leakage of technology.
"Ziyi, it takes time to make bamboo paper. During this period, don't give up on improving Caihou's paper. In the future, this paper will be named after Ziyi's name, "Zuobo Paper"."
"At the same time, in addition to these two papers, a softer paper is mainly used to replace toilet chips, which is also very important."
As a modern person, Tao Ying was suffering from toilet funds and naturally had to try every means to improve living conditions. Otherwise, what's the point of conquering the world?

"No!"
Zuo Bo was immediately overjoyed when he heard that the paper he improved was not only not abandoned by Tao Ying, but also named it after him. Zuo Bo was immediately overjoyed. This was a famous thing that has been passed down through the ages.
"Isn't the so-called pursuit of a person to glorify his ancestors and be famous in history!"
When Tao Ying proposed to produce the third type of paper, which was just used to replace toilet chips, Zuo Bo's eyes looked at Tao Ying in an instant.
“Incredible!”
Although Zuo Bo felt that Tao Ying was a bit incredible in luxury, he had to admire Tao Ying's life pattern.
"Lord, the Jinan war report is here!"
Tao Ying and Zuo Bogang had aroused their conversation, and Yan Liang, who came hurriedly with food, mentioned the situation of the war in Jinan.
"How?"
Tao Ying was always thinking about Ji Ling’s battle situation and finally waited for news.
"Great Victory!"
In fact, looking at Yan Liang's expression, Tao Ying had vaguely guessed the result of the battle, but he was still a little worried. This was Ji Ling's real first battle after all, and he didn't know what the casualties were.
"Go back!"
With Ji Ling's news, Tao Ying couldn't stay anymore and hurriedly told Zuo Bo.
"Ziyi, tomorrow you will go to Mu County, Taishan County with a Qu Xuanjia Army to find Yin Li, the magistrate of Mou County, and tell Yin Zilu what I asked, and let him cooperate with you. When the Qingzhou affairs are in progress, I will return to Mu County immediately to witness the achievements of Ziyi."
Tao Ying hurriedly left Zuo Bo's house with a stack of "Zuo Bo paper" and went straight to the county government.
...
Zuo Bo stood at the gate, looking at the street where Tao Ying was no longer visible, and his heart was in a state of great excitement and could not be relieved for a long time.
"Is there really anyone who is born to know this in this world?"
Zuo Bo was stunned for a moment, hurried back to the house, took out a piece of Zuo Bo paper, wrote down the bamboo paper manufacturing technology taught by Tao Ying and the method of building related facilities, and looked at it repeatedly for a long time.
"It's all here!"
