Three Kingdoms

Pingyang City has now become a very large construction site.

The city wall needs to be repaired, the fields need to be cultivated, the canals need to be dredged, the tools need to be made, and the soldiers need to be trained. A long list of things is almost overwhelming, and Fei Qian, Jia Qu and Ding Liu are overwhelmed.

Fei Qian gritted his teeth and threw aside the wooden slips he had just approved. He rubbed his forearms that were swollen and sore from holding these heavy pieces of wood for a long time. He turned his head and asked, "Liang Dao, are there no paper craftsmen yet?" ?”

This year!

There is paper, but the output is not very high, and for ordinary people, wood can be reused. When it is no longer needed, you can cut it with a knife and you can write again, so most people They were still accustomed to using wood and bamboo to record things, so the market for paper has always been among the upper class, that is, the gentry.

Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary grassroots scribes mostly use wood.

Just like now, the people visiting Fei Qian, Jia Qu, and Ding Liu are piles of wooden slips...

Jia Qu subconsciously pressed the bifurcated brush at the corner of his mouth, and then wrote something on the wooden slip in his hand while saying: "There are two of them, but originally they were all small workers, and some processes not understand well."

Um……

Fei Qian looked at Jia Qu's habitual movements and felt a little bitter in his mouth...

The ink of the Han Dynasty was not inherited from later generations, and no chemical preparations were added, so it was relatively thick and thick, and therefore easier to solidify. Sometimes after being stained with ink, if you did not write immediately, the tip of the pen would dry up.

So in order to write smoothly, some people like to use a pen to wash the water dishes, while some people - such as Jia Qu - like to use saliva to dissolve it directly...

However, for people in the Han Dynasty, eating some ink was nothing. No, this was still a refined thing, and most people couldn't eat it even if they wanted to.

Fei Qian didn't notice that Jia Qu was already a bit like "Uncle Snake" with a "big black mouth". He turned his head and asked Ding Liu, "Meng Lian, what do you think? Can you help me find two craftsmen from other places?"

Because high-end paper is relatively rare, and paper craftsmen who know how to use some bleaching techniques are treasured figures in each family and will not be easily available. Therefore, among the craftsmen Wei compensated were two former paper-making apprentices. And that craftsman unknowingly changed his affiliation and became one of the other Wei clan's subordinates...

Wei Liu smiled bitterly and said: "Shijun, I can only say that we try to communicate with each other... If it were other carpenters and blacksmiths, it would be easier to talk, but this type of craftsman..."

Fei Qian nodded, he also knew this.

If we compare the situation of later generations, the average carpenter of this era is like the person who passed the Level 4 examination in the gutter in later generations. After all, people in farm families sometimes go to the mountains to cut a piece of wood and play with it. Therefore, There are relatively many; then, due to the limitation of materials, the number of blacksmiths is smaller, and they are considered to be those who have passed the Level 6 exam; and those who are technologically innovative, such as paper craftsmen, are basically equivalent to those who have passed the Level 8 exam. Already...

Fei Qian sighed slightly, these days!

While they were talking, several little girls tremblingly brought tea soup and served it to Fei Qian and the others one by one.

The Wei family also sent some maids and maids, as well as some rough-and-tumble aunts. Fei Qian looked at the older and unmarried ones, and asked Jia Qu to arrange betrothals, leaving only these younger ones... …

It's not that Fei Qian is good at Luoli, but the older ones are only in their teens and the younger ones are only seven or eight years old. If they were separated, those Han Dynasty natives would really kill people.

oops……

There is another luoli over there in Jingxiang...

By the way, it’s really not possible to hire more craftsmen from Jingxiang?

In the courtyard of Lao Taishan, there seem to be a lot of great craftsmen hiding...

But it’s not easy to go back now, so we can’t leave for now!

While Fei Qian was thinking about it, suddenly a soldier came to the hall and reported: "Cui Zongzong has arrived five miles outside the city!"

Cui Hou arrived?

well!

The three people in the hall were all beaming with joy...

At this stage, no matter who you are, as long as you are a civilian, you can share a lot of work! It was suddenly reduced from 33% to 25%. No, Fei Qian came back occasionally. In fact, most of the work was done by Jia Qu and Wei Liu, so having one more person would greatly reduce the workload...

happy.

So the three of them went to the city gate to greet him with smiles.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Cui Hou, he also met another person-Chang Huai and Chang Zishun.

Fei Qian was stunned for a moment and then remembered that it was the Chang family member he met near Wen County at that time!

"Brother Chang is here too? What a great joy!" Fei Qian stepped forward and bowed his hands.

Chang Huai Chang Zishun took a few steps forward and prostrated himself on the ground: "I don't dare to be a gift to you! Wen County Chang Huai Chang Zishun has met Mr. Fei Shi!" It was like this one moment and the other moment. Just a few months ago, Fei Qian was just a small figure with some rumors, but now he has become a county governor, holding military and political power...

Cui Hou on the side also stepped forward to salute.

Fei Qian smiled, helped the two of them up, and invited them to go to the government office together.

The first thing to be renovated and renovated in Pingyang County was the Pingyang government office where Fei Qian now lives.

There was no way around this. The hierarchy in the Han Dynasty was still very strict. If Fei Qian's place was not tidied up first, no one else would dare to tidy up the house without authorization, so Fei Qian simply asked people to tidy up a few more houses in the government office. Come out and let Jia Qu, Wei Liu, Ma Yue and others live together.

Anyway, there are no family members now, and most of these people will slowly move out in the later period, after Pingyang City is sorted out.

It can be said that Pingyang City lacks everything and needs everything now. This is one of the reasons why Fei Qian transferred Cui Hou to Pingyang.

When everyone sat down in the government office hall, they had just asked the maid to bring the newly brewed tea soup, and they had not even taken a few sips when they heard a long emergency call coming from outside the government office!

Fei Qian stood up and saw a soldier galloping towards him. He knelt down in front of the hall, held up a long knot with both hands, and declared: "Report! The angel has arrived thirty miles outside the city! Please hurry up and greet me." !”

Fei Qian hurried forward, took the stick, and looked it up and down. The bamboo handle was smooth and less than two meters long. He made a three-layer stick with yak tail, both in terms of shape and specifications. Look, they are indeed the scepters of messengers!

The angel is here?

Yesterday, I took a look at some pirated novel website and found that it can be automatically blocked. Qi# clicked these two words... What Qi@idian couldn't do, the pirated website did it... When I closed the web page, it even prompted that there were two downloads unfinished, asking if I want to continue...)

You have all said before about distributing pirated copies, but...

It is said that people who publish pirated copies will be reported...

This is really...

Moreover, the anti-theft stamps are issued in the middle of the night and then revised. To be honest, the author of the article had to get up in the middle of the night to do the anti-theft stamps himself...

Suddenly I felt inexplicably bitter...

Why……

Because selling IP is more profitable now...

Or better yet [beep...] money...
