Three Kingdoms: I ran for my life all the way, but was forced to become the master of this world!

In the Jing Mountain outside Xiangyang City, Wei Yan, Liu Pan, Deng Ai, and Niu Jin were nervously training soldiers. Because they are located in a secluded place, many people do not know it. Therefore, in Xiangyang City, the prosperity of weekdays is not reduced in the slightest.

The Han Chamber of Commerce made commerce prosperous as never before, not only the trade between the north and the south, but also the Silk Road, which had been dormant for many years, was revived, and Xiangyang became a commercial center.

Pearl agate, gold and silver jewelry, iron farm tools, fine wine and food, grain and horses, everything can be bought in Xiangyang.

The only thing lacking is that there are too few war horses, and the horses traded in the market can be ridden or carry things, but they cannot go to the battlefield.

Xianbei, Xiongnu, Karasuma and other foreign races controlled the war horses very tightly. Xiliang also produced war horses, but the number was too small, and Ma Teng and Han Sui did not have any surplus.

Secondly, there are no weapons of good quality.

However, for weapons, Liu Jun has already managed to solve it himself.

After more than half a year of repeated practice, the blacksmiths finally mastered the technique of frying steel, and Liu Jun immediately gave them a drawing of a knife and asked them to build it.

Two days later, the sample was built and sent to Liu Jun.

"Liu Hu, come here

!" "Master, what are your orders?" "

Take a look at this knife!" Liu Jun handed the new knife to Liu Hu.

"Master, this knife is relatively light, but the blade is too narrow, I'm afraid it won't be useful!" Liu Hu shook his head after seeing it.

This knife is different from the swords used in this era.

Its blade is about six feet long, equivalent to about one meter two or three now, which is the same length as the chopping sword, but much narrower than the chopping sword, and it is also thin, the tip of the knife is double-edged, and the handle is about one foot long.

"Why not use it?" asked Liu Jun.

"Master, I'm afraid that when this touches other weapons, it will break at once. "

Ha..." Liu Jun smiled, "What the hell, try to find out." Liu

Jian took the knife in his hand and danced gently, and immediately shone with cold light, and the cold air was pressing.

"Liu Hu, attack me with all your might!"

"This...

"Do you want to disobey, or do you think I'm not your opponent?" "

Lord, you have to be careful!" Liu Hu was the commander of Liu Jun's personal soldiers promoted on the battlefield, and of course he knew how powerful the Lord Liu Jun was. After speaking, he drew his saber and slashed at Liu Jun.

Liu Jun looked at the knife cut by Liu Hu, and used the new knife in his hand to go up, only listening to the sound of "dang", and a truncated knife fell to the ground.

However, Liu Hu's new knife was intact, and what was broken was Liu Hu's heavy sabre!

"This..." Liu Hu's eyes widened, almost unable to speak.

This is like two people fighting, a very thin and weak, one is extremely strong, originally not comparable, but it is the one who is very strong that falls!

"You two come here!" Liu Jian ignored the stunned Liu Hu and called the two guards over.

Liu handed the new knife to one of the guards, and then ordered the other guard to slash hard at the other with his saber to make the guard parry with the new knife.

As a result, after three consecutive slashes, the heavy saber broke again.

Liu Jun called another guard, and now he changed it, using a new knife to cut and a saber to parry, but the second knife went down, and the saber was broken in two.

"Good knife, good knife!" At this time, Liu Hu had completely reacted, "Lord, where did this knife come from?" "

This is made by our craftsmen, what do you think now?

I have never seen such a good knife! It can cut like a knife, split like a sword, and stab like a gun!" "

The stir-frying technique, from iron to steel, makes the knife not only sharp, light, but also more tough. Although the whole technology is not complicated, it is an epoch-making significance for the development of steel.

Liu Jun had long thought of improving weapons, and even thought of introducing hot weapons directly, but found that the technology of this era was still too backward to be rushed.

Of course, the Han Dynasty was much ahead of its contemporaries, and the backwardness was just viewed from the eyes of later generations.

Previous weapons were bulky because they were lighter and not durable at all. Like those first-class or top-notch martial generals, weapons are often dozens of catties, hundreds of catties, and it takes a lot of strength to dance.

For ordinary soldiers, weapons that are too heavy are not in hand. But it is too light and easy to break. With the technology of frying steel, this problem is solved. The new knife designed by Liu Jun is somewhat similar to the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty, but the blade is shorter. But it is longer than the blade of this period, suitable for chopping, chopping, and stabping.

"Master, what is the name of this knife?" asked Liu Hu.

"Great

, if our soldiers all take the Han sword, then the weapons in the hands of other armies are like wooden sticks, how can they be the opponents of our Han army!" After

getting the real test, Liu Jun put Ma Zhong and Ma Liang in charge and stepped up to build the Han Dao. Of course, this technique, like winemaking, is a secret.

At the same time, Liu asked Ma Zhong to look for craftsmen in the Han prefectures who could make Caihou paper.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, paper has been invented. First Baqiao paper, now there is Caihou paper on the market.

It's just that the quality is so poor that I can barely write, and I don't keep it for long. Much of the intelligence of the Skynet Camp is brocade, but the price is too high. Occasionally some ordinary use Caihou paper, the person who sent the letter does not say that it has rained a little, even if it sweats, it will also affect the content. Therefore, Liu Jun feels that improving papermaking technology is already a very important matter.

Chinese papermaking advanced by leaps and bounds in the Tang Dynasty, but Liu knew that the process had not changed much, only the raw materials had changed, and the best quality was bamboo paper.

Bamboo paper is made of bamboo as raw material and pulped. Bamboo is relatively brittle and easy to break, so the requirements for pulping are higher. However, the craftsmen of papermaking in this era have tried pulping of various materials, and there should be no problem.

The second is degumming, that is, filtering impurities. The most critical thing in the rice paper, wallpaper, colored paper, etc. produced in the Tang Dynasty is the technology of degumming. Because then they discovered that it was possible to degum with lime.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was only degumming by physical methods before, and the Tang people found a way to degum chemically.

And lime, this era is already firing.

Craftsmen who can make paper finally found a few, and when Liu Jun proposed to use bamboo as raw materials, these people were stunned. They have been using cotton and linen, rags, etc., and bamboo is so brittle, how can it be used as raw materials?

But Liu Jun was not in a hurry, he paid them to try, let them try, and degummed them with lime.

When several craftsmen heard this, they were very happy, so they began to try it in a secret workshop in Xiangyang City.
