Planting a Tech Tree in Three Kingdoms

Nan Xing asked Steward Tang to make a Zhuangzi for them based on the ID card in the mansion, indicating that they were paper makers, and then took these people directly to the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, and first cleaned up a place in the Zhuangzi for the workers to live in. and life.

Bamboo has been felled before, and what needs to be done now is the next step.

"With this sign, each of you can receive ten chicken eggs every two weeks, and you can get an extra salary at the end of each month." Nan Xing said to the crowd kneeling in the yard, holding up the sign marked "Manufacturing Department".

When Zhang Gui was Nan Xing's housekeeper, he gave Nan Xing the key to the warehouse in the backyard.The money is not too much in his eyes, but Nan Xing is already very satisfied.

She intends to feed the workers first and then talk about loyalty.

Sure enough, the people below couldn't believe it, and started talking about it.Nan Xing stopped Butler Tang who was about to scold him, and waited for them to finish their discussion.

Finally, the servants pushed out an older man who called himself Ping Bo and was an old man in the house.

"Little master, do you have any conditions for saying this?"

It sounds like an old man, and I don't feel that I will take advantage of it at all.

"First of all, it's because the work is a bit hard." Nan Xing paused after speaking, watching everyone's reactions, everyone didn't relax much, obviously because they didn't believe that hard work required extra money.What's more, most of them signed the deeds of selling themselves, and there was no wages at all.

"Secondly, it is because what you are going to do in the future is a job that needs to be kept secret. How does father treat leakers? I don't think I need to say more."

"I just hope that everyone under my command can willingly keep it secret."

After Nan Xing finished explaining, he turned around and left regardless of the reaction of the rest of the people.The people left behind looked at each other in blank dismay.

Leave the rest to Butler Tang!

……

"May I ask you, what is 'quiet'?" Xun Shuang taught Nan Xingdao that day.

Nan Xing sat at the last seat, holding "Book of Changes" in his hand.Seriously said, "No Jing."

"Why?"

"Students heard a story. When three people saw the flags, one said, 'The flags are moving.' The other said, 'No, it's not the flags moving, but the wind is moving.' The last person said with a smile, 'No The flag moves, not the wind, but your heart.'"

"Since we are alive, we must be trapped by foreign objects. When we see the 'flag', our hearts will not be calm."

Xun Shuang knew that this story must have been made up by Nan Xing on the spot, so he didn't expose it. Instead, he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Is the third person also Wujing?"

"It's not quiet to judge people's hearts----" Nan Xing said.

Since she had copied "Spring and Autumn" n times, Xun Shuang began to cultivate her ability of thinking and thinking. These metaphysical problems forced her to memorize all the philosophical stories and public cases of later generations.

Obviously, Xun Shuang is very satisfied with her "philosophical" stories.

"Forgive me, future philosophers. You should be able to understand the pain of being proctored one-on-one by the teacher and having to defend on the spot!" Nan Xing murmured in his heart.

Having said that, Nan Xing still learned a lot of thoughts of this era from Xun Shuang.

"The Master said: 'Those who know the way of change know what God does.'" Xun Shuang started the debate mode, "Those who keep the center and calm are like a towering tower. Those who observe other people's minds and do not move their hearts are quiet."

"Students are taught."

During the break, Steward Tang approached Nan Xing to convey Zhang Gui's order.

"Let me go to Biezhuang? Then what about the usual class?" Nan Xing was surprised when he heard this, it was not in line with common sense.What she agreed with Zhang Gui is that she manages remotely and does not need to go to other villages in person.

"My lady will also go to another mansion." Tang Butler secretly revealed Zhang's whereabouts.During the two years of getting along day and night, Nan Xing used some tricks again. Butler Tang had already obeyed her secretly, and would always do things for her that were inconvenient for her to come forward.

"okay, I get it."

Nan Xing was thinking about something on the table with water on his face, and Zhang Gui's sudden arrangement might be because of something wrong with the court.If it was an event that could be recorded in history, she should know about it.

It's just that it's the year of the emperor, and Nan Xing is not sure how many years it is under the year of the Christian era.

"The first year of Yongkang...is 167 AD!" Nan Xing tapped on the table, unable to remember what happened in this year.

Until saying goodbye to Xun Shuang, Nan Xing didn't remember what serious things would happen, forcing Zhang Gui to change his address.

"...Looks like I'm going to write a timeline." Sitting in the carriage, Nan Xing knocked his head angrily.

After two years of development, Nanxing's paper factory in Biezhuang has been operating very well.Now the entire Zhang family is using soft paper, and Zhang Gui even used a new type of bamboo paper to please the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager. Not only did they escape the party chaos, but they also received a lot of rewards.

Zhang Gui generously handed over all the money to Nan Xing, letting her figure it out.

After this incident, Nan Xing took the opportunity to open a shop in Luoyang, selling bamboo paper in a fixed amount, and made a fortune.Everyone in the city of Luoyang wanted a share of what was offered to the Holy Majesty.

It can be said that Nan Xing is very rich now.

"Huh... Emperor Hanheng passed away in the first year of Yongkang."

No wonder Zhang Gui is in a hurry to move, the chaos of the party will recur next year.Luoyang City will be in chaos for a while.

It must be said that Zhang Gui's political vision was able to detect the imminent danger so early.

After Nan Xing confirmed Zhang Gui's motive, he didn't stop writing, but wrote down all the major historical events that he could remember clearly in English and Arabic numerals.

In the middle of the night, the lights in Nanxing House were on all night.

The next day, Nan Xing went directly to Zhang Gui who was on vacation at home.In the past two years, because of Nan Xing's obedience and her invention is indeed beneficial to him, Zhang Gui has become more able to listen to Nan Xing's words.

Moreover, after his observation, Nan Xing's ideas were not taught by others, but were really given by God, and Zhang Gui was more satisfied with her.

"What's the important thing Ah Xing wants today?" Nan Xing usually doesn't take the initiative to find Zhang Gui, and every time he comes, he always has something to discuss.

"The chaos is coming, we may have to prepare early."

No nonsense, Nan Xing directly posed the problem.Zhang Gui was obedient and immediately waved away the servants in the house.

"Looking at the sky last night, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe." Nan Xing put on a posture of a magic stick. Anyway, people now believe in this, so it doesn't matter if you use it.

"That one, I'm afraid it won't be long. Once the emperor and the courtiers, I don't know what will happen in the future!" Nan Xing pointed to the sky and said calmly.

"My father knows, why don't I let you go to another village."

"Father, I'm not saying whether I know it or not. It's just... we're probably going to set up our own intelligence agency."

"Do you want to cultivate meticulous work?"

"Well, and it's not one city and one place. There should be one in the territory of the Han Dynasty, as long as there is an ordinary shop in one city, and you can ask for local information." Just started, so the requirements don't need to be too high.

"How to ensure the transmission of information?" Zhang Gui has a lot of people in his hands, and he is now concerned about the issue of news.

"You can use pigeons, you know I've been raising pigeons in Biezhuang! Just use that. If the information is safe..." Nan Xing took out the method he thought up last night.

After unfolding the paper in your hand, if a modern person is here, he will definitely be able to recognize the dots and lines on it immediately.That is clearly Morse code.

"The changes of these dots and lines are used to represent numbers such as first, second and third, and then compare these numbers with the "Analects of Confucius" to find out the words expressed." Nan Xing felt that he had a good method.

Zhang Gui didn't quite agree.

"The slips are quite expensive, and it is not easy to promote them."

Nan Xing tapped the paper in her hand. She didn't expect that the problem was not with money and people, but with difficulties in keeping secrets.

She has no way to change the fact that books are expensive for the time being.She knew the technology of movable type printing, but this would definitely affect the foundation of the gentry's livelihood.The technology couldn't have been "invented" if she didn't have a county of her own.

Rubbing the hem of his clothes, Nan Xing pondered silently.

Zhang Gui didn't urge him, and continued to read his book quietly.Regardless of whether Nan Xing has a way to keep it secret, he is planning to set up an information network.Employing people is much safer than pigeons. He is not short of money and doesn't care how much it costs.

While Zhang Gui was thinking about it, Nan Xing had a new idea.

"I can 'invent' a new method, and I guarantee that none of my own people can't understand it." Nan Xing picked up a pen and re-wrote on the Morse code.

Pinyin is simply an artifact of literacy. Chinese is a pictographic character, which cannot be directly understood by phonetics. But in the future, people will find a way to recognize characters through spelling.

Pinyin is not difficult, it is easy to learn and has a wide range of uses.

Nan Xing told Zhang Gui his method, and Zhang Gui tried to learn it for a quarter of an hour, and he was able to read it smoothly.

"Well, that's a good idea. I'll teach you the people who went ahead. I'll teach them first, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Zhang Gui said naturally. As usual, Nan Xing came up with ideas and was excluded from management. outside.

"Yeah." Nan Xing accepted the arrangement calmly without any emotion.No one knows what she is thinking.

The next day, Nan Xing saw the servant who was assigned to study in his yard.There are 30 students in total. Nan Xing converted his study into a classroom and started teaching in small classes.

Nan Xing took out the posture of tutoring the younger sisters of the small class in the previous life, broke them apart and taught them, and finally let these future intelligence station leaders learn pinyin.

"Your messages are all in one-line contact, and you won't see the upper line. I hope that you have the same requirements for your subordinates." Nan Xing gave serious instructions when finishing today's class.

"The villain understands." The elected leader quickly responded, "But the villain still has doubts... Please ask the young master to clarify."

"please say."

"If there is a one-way connection, how do we know what the people above want to know?" The people Zhang Gui sent are all veterans of meticulous work. They understand the complexity of information. If they don't know what they want, those collected things can bury people. .

Nan Xing took out the paper with patterns that Zhang Gui had prepared a long time ago, and distributed it to the elaborators, and introduced, "If you see this imprint in your letters, it is from the master's family."

This seal is well-made, using rare technology, and the printed graphics have a certain degree of particularity. This seal is the only one held by Zhang Gui in the world.

The secret agents nodded one after another, expressing that they had remembered.Nan Xing took the paper and walked to the oil lamp to burn it, and class was over.

In the future, these secret agents will open small shops in various cities, listen to news and develop offline, and become an important part of the Zhang family's intelligence network.

Butler Tang knelt quietly on the second seat, maintaining his usual silent character, and looked down at Nan Xing.

And Nan Xing is playing with a seal, and the cold light hits it, and those who are interested will find that the pattern of this seal is the same as the one in Zhang Gui's hand---

The same.
