Chapter 50: Interview

Qin Nuo floated before his eyes, Qin Nuo didn't realize it, he was still talking with Huo Youchan.
"So Wang Ye has helped Pidongying so much these days?" Huo Youchan asked.
"Now that it has been promised, naturally it should be done." Qin Nuo nodded. The case of possession of weapons was so fast that Mengluo's contribution was indispensable, and Qin Nuo's request was that Qin Nuo helped Pidongying survive the difficulties.
Because of the rebellion against Qin Jian, Pidongying was included in the court's blacklist. However, not all of Qin Jian's dead parties were in the camp.One of the deputy commanders was more intelligent. After seeing the bad situation, he quickly changed his position and went to the Prime Minister's House to seek information. He then restrained his subordinates and did not participate in the rebellion and went to help Qin Jian.
This move finally prevented Pidongying from completely disappearing from the Beijing Five Guards. But it is also impossible to restore the court's determination to significantly weaken Pidongying. The sergeants involved in the rebellion were beheaded or exiled, and the remaining centrists were disbanded, sent to other troops, or sent to the border to join the trapping squad. The Pidong battalion was reduced from 80,000 elite soldiers to less than 20,000 in one fell swoop, and almost all middle-level officers were replaced.
Soldiers transferred from Pidongying are often difficult to find a good place. Although they did not openly participate in the rebellion, the Guo family has been operating in Pidongying for a long time. As a rebel Yu Dang, everyone can avoid it.
Of course, Mengluo also knew that Qin Nuo didn't have that much power to save the entire Pidong camp, so he only asked Qin Nuo to do his best.
According to the practice of the royal family of the Da Zhou Dynasty, the prince of the royal family was not closed, but in the suburbs of Beijing, there will also be vast manor houses and 3,000 private soldiers.
Nowadays, there is a strong wind of martial arts in the field. In practice, many of Wang's personal soldiers are far more than three thousand, let alone an ambitious person like Qin Jian.
What Qin Nuo can do is to take advantage of the expansion of Wangfu ’s own soldiers, transfer one of the soldiers in Pidongying to his Majesty, and say hello to several people in the camp of God. The soldiers and horses are properly placed.
"Isn't Wang afraid that this move will attract criticism? After all, Pidongying is a rebel party."
"Whatever it is, I defended myself before. I didn't sit at home. The pot came from the sky." Qin Nuo shrugged. He understood it. Even if he evaded his retreat, he would not allow him in this world. Instead, he would be more aggressive, at least to gain the power to protect himself.
After being laughed at by Qin Nuo, Huo Youchan asked with a frown after she laughed: "The arrogant soldiers of Pidongying are so afraid that Wang Ye is difficult to restrain."
"Let Mengluo take it first and take over halfway. I don't expect how loyal they will be. I just want to see what the king should do on time and do his job properly." Qin Nuo shrugged.
He investigated carefully afterwards. Before the plundering and killing in the hot spring palace, all were Qin Jian's personal soldiers. Pidongying was one of the five guards of the Forbidden Army. The top elite soldiers in Da Zhou had fairly strict military discipline. Before, the face of such a gangster was exposed.
Huo Youchan laughed: "If they are smart, they should be able to realize that there is no way out except to adhere to the Lord."
"Just this Mengluo, does the Lord really want to save his life? This man once publicly killed the clan, a man of temperament and insecurity."
Qin Nuo touched his nose: "I'm wondering about this too." In fact, he didn't have much hope for keeping Meng Luo's life, although he did his best to deal with it in Tianchou for him. The family sold the apartment, reported it dead, and changed its name, but they couldn't hide it.
From the inner court to the Ministry of Defense, several forces chose to turn a blind eye. Maybe Mengluo is just a small person, they can't get into their eyes, as long as he looks good on his face, he won't bother to investigate. Of course, it is more likely that they didn't have any time to care about this little thing, and now the eyes of the up and down field are on Qin Cong's physical condition.
The scenery is beautiful, and the family is like flowers. However, the two are not talking about each other, and they are talking about North Korea and China.
"Apart from these disappointments, I managed to go out today to meet you. I brought you a gift." Qin Nuo turned the topic and took out a small brocade box from her arms.
Huo Youchan opened her eyes with anticipation.
There is a constant exchange between the two. Qin Nuo often makes some strange and strange things as gifts for Huo Yousil. Sometimes it is a delicate jewelry designed by himself. Sometimes it is a newly made spice in the laboratory. Sometimes it is a palace. Special novelties. And this time, there are several paintings.
Huo Youchan was really surprised. She came in contact with these days and discovered that Qin Nuo was not a fool in the legend, but she was true without learning. In her opinion, it should be difficult to survive in the palace of Qin Nuo when he was a teenager. In order to protect himself, he deliberately pretended to be stupid, and therefore could not study his studies well. It was a pity.
But what's going on with this picture?
The strokes are not the gongbi descriptions that are popular today, they are just simple black lines, but they are unexpectedly vivid and cute. In the picture is a girl in a long dress, the size of a slap, and a chubby appearance.
The first picture is a girl holding a scroll and sitting at the window, the second picture is walking in the woods to fold flowers, the peach blossoms of the human face form a bright contrast, and the third picture is eating snacks at the table.
From the hair dress, Huo Youchan recognized herself at a glance. The paintings are scenes where the two people met several times.
"You have never seen this kind of painting in your silk." Huo Youzhen couldn't help but amazed.
"Do you like it?" Qin Nuo asked proudly. The four paintings in front of me are in the style of cartoons of later generations, of course, beyond the imagination of this era. Qin Nuo's hobby in the past life was painting, which was considered to be reluctant.
"I like it, it looks good. Although it is different from everyone else's work, it is really very interesting. You silk can't describe it." Huo Youzhen looked at it again and again, and finally looked up, curious, "Where did Wang Ye learn from Whose kind of painting do you learn from? As a world-renowned master, you never heard of this style. "
"The genius of the king, God conferred it." Qin Nuo proudly said.
Huo Youchan gave him a glance, and looked at the details in the painting more and more. The more he looked, the more he rejoiced. He could describe so meticulously. The man must be deeply affectionate to himself, and he could not be moved more.
After looking at it for a while, she noticed that the strokes of the drawing seemed to be drawn with coarse paint, but it was unexpectedly sharp.
She reached out, stroked and identified, and asked, "This is not an ordinary paintbrush, is it painted with charcoal?"
Really smart. Qin Nuo nodded briskly, "It was the charcoal pencil I ordered the craftsmen to make before, using wood as the material, and the tundish with a carbon core."
"Charcoal is fragile and not easy to color. How can it be so thick?"
"The graphite and other materials are added, powdered, mixed and stirred according to a certain ratio, and then pressed with an iron pipe to form a fine core. After that, the bread is covered with bamboo dumplings and then rounded ..." Qin Nuo briefly introduced the simplicity The process of making a pencil.
In this era, Qin Nuo has a big headache with the use of writing brushes, and his own words are crooked like earthworms, of course, the original owner is also about the same level.
So he specifically asked the carpenter to make this ancient version, imitating the pencils of previous lives. It was also after many experiments that the precise ratio was mastered. Although handmade products, after all, are not as good as industrial products made by later machine tools, daily writing and painting are enough. At least drawing cartoons is fine.
When the power is so cool! One thought can direct hundreds of people to turn around for you.
Huo Youchan had long been expected to be interested, so Qin Nuo brought a few with him this time. Taking it out while talking.
Huo Youchan took it, looked at it for a while, and suddenly said, "This thing can be done!"
Qin Nuo disagreed. "It's too expensive to make it universal."
The low price of pencils in later generations is because of mass production. If anything needs to be made by hand, the cost of labor and material is converted into a cost, which is not a small number.
Huo Youchan immediately said: "The prince just said that the thing that consumes the most manpower is the bamboo quilt cover on the periphery. If this is improved, the outer cover is a reusable wooden cover, which should greatly reduce costs.
Qin Nuo was surprised. The woman in front of her could think of the concept of automatic pen from pencil. not simple!
Thinking of the mechanical pencil that can be used for refills in elementary school, Qin Nuo was filled with emotion.
"Even the bamboo quilt cover can't be used. It can be directly wrapped in cotton cloth. Poor students can use it in the future." As he said, Huo Yousil's eyes were bright.
Qin Nuo reminded politely: "Even if the cost of the pen is minimized, it needs to be written on white paper to be clear."
Huo Youzhan was discouraged and almost forgot this. Compared with ordinary brushes, pencils are easy to carry, convenient to write, and low in cost, but their handwriting is also relatively faint, so it must be written on extremely white paper.
The paper industry in this era has been quite developed, but most of them are yellowed rough paper. Pure white paper is still expensive, and ordinary students can't afford daily practice. Because of the strong coloring of the brush, the writing is still popular even on rough paper.
To reduce the price of high-quality white paper, the paper bleaching process must be produced on a large scale. This requires multiple technologies to complete. Therefore, the advancement of productivity cannot be achieved overnight. It must be improved in all aspects.
Although it could not be as popular as expected, Huo Youchan took some pencils back with interest.
It wasn't early, and the two parted and parted.
Watching Huo Youchan go away, Qin Nuo also stepped down slowly.
Ping retired from the attendant, he walked alone in the woods. At dusk, the sky was getting darker, and I don't know where a cloud came from, which blocked the sky.
The drizzle of rain drifted down and crackled on the leaves. Standing on the edge of Taiye Lake, looking at the drizzle and misty lake, the mood was clear.
It's been a year since we came to this era.
Qin Nuo really feels lucky that in this era, he can also find a fiancee who shares his interests.
Fang Yuan was whispering, "Who?"
Qin Nuo turned around, and in the forest path, a figure in a gray shirt stood silently.
"Don't be surprised. It's my owner. I want to ask the son to go for a while."
As the comer said, he raised the Douyi high, revealing a handsome and profound face, and the gray-blue eyes were awesome.
It was the driver named Lan Er last time. He should be Pei's close guard.
Bae Hyun wants to see himself?
Qin Nuo slightly hesitated, and nodded, "Lead the way."
