Chapter 78 Fishing·Pencil·Game...

The sky suddenly appeared, and the breeze was blowing.

Leonard was sitting by the lake fishing, and the clouds in the sky were scattered. He was wearing a single shirt, leisurely and quite contented.

Surrounded by large expanses of rushes.

He Shen came from the morning light. He saw that the fish over there seemed to be about to take the bait, so he stood beside Leonard, did not speak, but waited quietly.

A few minutes later, the sound of the water became louder and the fish took the bait. Leonard used his strength, but because he needed to use ingenuity, the way of exerting the strength was wrong, and the fishing rod almost fell out of his hand.

Then a hand came up firmly.

"I offended you, my lord." He Shen said.

Together, the two caught a big grass carp.

The grass carp fluttered with the breeze, and finally fell into the wooden barrel next to it.

"Haha, this is the joint efforts of the monarch and his ministers to catch big fish together." Leonard said.

He Shen also laughed.

They sat by the lake and talked about recent events with the morning breeze.

Then He Shen said: "How does the lord feel about Wei Zhongxian?"

Leonard said: "It's a usable person, just use it like you."

"Although we all have flaws." He Shen said, "But Wei Zhongxian...it's hard to say."

Leonard was curious: "I also heard that you, uh, like money very much, so after coming here, have you..."

He Shen said: "What are you greedy for here? Do you want me to be greedy for 100 gold coins? What can I do with 100 gold coins? What's even more frightening is that after taking 100 gold coins, the military training will not work. Isn't Fengxian going to fight with me?" Desperate."

Leonard: "Pfft."

Yes, sorry, my territory is so poor that you have no interest in being greedy for money.

"And there is nothing here. Even if I have money, I can't do anything. The bard's songs are not good. If I want to do something now, I have to make it myself." He Shen said.

Leonard: "Hahaha..." I wanted to laugh even more.

He threw the fishing rod into the lake without any bait, and just played games.

As the wind blew, he squinted his eyes to enjoy this moment, and then said: "I'm sorry, but since you can't enjoy these things, let's use the world to fool you."

He Shen couldn't help blinking.

"Is this the spirit of a king?" He Shen asked.

Leonard said with a smile: "It's because of your strength that you pretend to be powerful."

……

Cai Lun sent a letter, saying that he had officially started making paper, and it was progressing smoothly. He had already opened a paper factory in Mithril Town.

The reason why Caihou paper was not made before is that it is not very effective under the current conditions. After all, the problem of food and clothing has not been solved, and it is a bit too aggressive to rush for spiritual pursuit.

Now that the income of Little Thorn Castle has increased sharply, it is time to start pursuing spiritual and cultural pursuits.

After having paper, there is a pen. The quill pen here is really difficult to write, so Leonard pondered whether to make a fountain pen.

But he quickly gave up after some research, because the craftsmanship of the pen is very difficult. The tip of the pen is welded with iridium balls. This technology is quite cutting-edge, and the nib needs to be cut. possible.

Leonard changed his mind, he thought of a pencil.

It's been a while since I went to Mithril Town, so Leonard took Wei Zhongxian with him to make a special trip to Mithril Town, just in time for Cai Lun and Wei Zhongxian to get to know each other.

After the meeting, Leonard asked them to introduce each other, and then directly told Cai Lun about the pencil.

Cai Lun can actually make a brush, but the language here is still Latin, and it is always weird to write Latin letters with a brush.

"Lord, what kind of pencil are you talking about?" Cai Lun asked.

Leonard had already thought about it: "You know how to write with charcoal, right?"

"I know." Cai Lun said, "Writing with charcoal is cheap, but it will make your hands full of charcoal powder."

"The principle is similar, except that graphite is used." Leonard continued: "The graphite is molded into a thin strip, and then stuffed into the wood to make a small wooden stick. The shape is similar to that of a brush, and the tip is very It is hard and easy to write on. And in this way, when writing on paper, the hands will not be full of black powder."

Cai Lun understood the principle after a little thought: "What about the exposed graphite pen tip after writing?"

"Then use a knife to whittle the wood around to expose the new nib," Leonard said.

Cai Lun was thoughtful: "The idea is strange, but the graphite is soft."

"So just add something to it to harden the graphite. This needs to be researched by you," Leonard said.

Cai Lun nodded, "I understand."

Although he didn't understand all this at all, Wei Zhongxian still listened carefully. When he arrived in a new environment, he immediately picked up his spirit and absorbed everything around him.

Then Cai Lun reported to Leonard the recent situation in Mithril Town, and all the data were steadily rising.

"The official road is almost finished, and the speed of going back and forth will be faster in the future. The lord should have seen it."

"Yeah." Leonard nodded.

Cai Lun said: "I have another suggestion. The lord can build post stations along the way, and put horses in the post stations, so that the speed of sending letters back and forth will be faster."

"Stay station." Leonard nodded frequently: "How many miles to set up one?"

"Thirty miles." Cai Lun said, "Thirty miles of horses should be exhausted, so I just change one. This will ensure the speed and protect the horses."

Dahan always set up a station at [-] miles on the main traffic road, Cai Lun said according to the custom of the Dahan period.

In ancient times, it was these post stations that relied on sending letters, and letters were delivered one by one.At that time, sending letters was much more convenient than imagined, and it could be sent directly abroad.In case of an emergency, the speed can be very fast, and the fastest can reach a terrifying 800 miles a day, which is what is often said in film and television dramas, "eight hundred miles of urgent letters".

"Okay." Leonard said, "Then let's build a post station. First connect several of my towns with a post station, um... then let's connect those places in Baisha City." He turned his head and looked to the side Wei Zhongxian: "Then I will leave this matter to you. If you have any specific questions, you can ask Zhizhai or Bachelor Rutherford."

"Okay, my lord." Wei Zhongxian said.

This is the first official job he has received since coming here, and he will treat it well.

The people here are all top-notch people in the world, they are not the ones who live in poverty. The past glory is in the past, and he has to show his achievements for the lord to take a good look at.

……

Lights and shadows cool the night, and the night wind blows into the window.

There is light smoke curling from the incense burner.

Cai Lun and Wei Zhongxian were playing chess, and Leonard was watching.

The speed of the two players was similar at first, Wei Zhongxian gradually became faster and faster, while Cai Lun took it easy.

After more than a dozen moves back and forth, Wei Zhongxian seemed to have discovered his speed, so he began to slow down. Cai Lun still moved at the same speed. After a while, Wei Zhongxian was obviously slower than Cai Lun.

Leonard was not good at Go, and Wei Zhongxian played slowly, so he got bored after watching it for a while, so he stood up and walked to the side to watch the night outside.

With the development of Cai Lun, the night of Mithril Town gradually became brighter.Leonard thought.

Leonard's action awakened Wei Zhongxian who was thinking. He dropped a ball, and then Cai Lunyun dropped another ball lightly, as if without thinking.

Wei Zhongxian said: "You settle quickly."

"Yes." Cai Lun said.

"Some things you can get better." Wei Zhongxian said.

"But thinking too many steps is too tiring." Cai Lun said with a smile.

"You need to play chess like this," Wei Zhongxian said.

"It's just a casual game, after all, it's for relaxation." Cai Lun said, "I don't have such a strong sense of victory."

Wei Zhongxian said: "This way..." He had been optimistic for a while.

Cai Lun dropped another son and smiled: "Look, isn't it different from what you planned?"

Wei Zhongxian looked over: "It's indeed different."

"Well." Cai Lun said, "You have thought about a lot of steps before, but the situation is gradually changing. I only think about the next few steps, and I don't think too much. Anyway, it is impossible for people to fully grasp the timing, and it is almost enough. gone."

Wei Zhongxian was lost in thought, he was used to the feeling that everything was under his control.

Leonard suddenly probed: "Jingzhong, you have a simple Marxist materialism." It can be considered as a second to destroy the atmosphere.

Cai Lun: "Huh?"

Leonard: "Things are always in motion, a basic theory of Marxist materialism."

Leonard: "Well... I don't quite understand, but this sentence is very correct."

Wei Zhongxian became interested: "Then, my lord, what about the other basic theories?"

"Material determines consciousness." Leonard said, recalling the contents of the textbook.

"Material determines... Consciousness?" Cai Lun repeated.

"Well, the economic base determines the superstructure, and the economy, politics, and culture complement each other..." Leonard said: "Ah, in the past, it was Gongsun Sheng who preached, but today I will talk to you about Marxism." He rolled up Sleeves, came the interest.

"I would like to listen to the lord's teaching." Cai Lun said with a smile, and then he got up: "I will make tea first."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment: "Go."

"I lost." Cai Lun said, "I can't beat yours."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a while, only to realize that the other party really has no intention of winning.

The people here seem to be completely different from before.

Playing chess and talking and laughing without any grievances like this is a scene that can't even appear in old dreams.

……

That night, Leonard lectured them on various Marxist theories.

The next day, Leonard went to Cai Lun's paper factory for a walk. He was looking forward to Cai Lun making the first paper. Now that Leonard summoned Wei Zhongxian, he had no more Destiny Points at hand.He can't wait for more Destiny Points to be used in the lottery.

And Wei Zhongxian left Mithril Town, called Bachelor Rutherford, and started a field trip together.

If you want to build several post stations, you have to do some on-the-spot investigation first.

It can be seen that Wei Zhongxian is indeed very concerned about this job.
