While the Heng family and his son were devoting themselves wholeheartedly to the manufacture of foot-operated threshing machines, Cui Weng's family was trying to produce sealed ink bottles by the Sanchuan River in the north of Lishi County.
Luo Sanlang ordered a batch of small porcelain vases from them earlier.
Although only a few twenty were successfully fitted with lids, those twenty were sold for a high price of two hundred cents each.
Cui Weng and his sons all believe that as long as they can master the technology of making sealed ink bottles, their pottery making business will definitely be prosperous in the future, just like Heng's Car Making Shop and Yin's Car Making Shop in Lishi County.
His wheel moves like that.
But in this era where there is no mechanized production and everything has to be done by hand, it is not that easy to smoothly produce large quantities of bottles with good sealing properties.
Originally, they wanted to make porcelain bottles and porcelain lids, but it was not feasible.
The failure rate was too high.
Not one or two out of a hundred could be successfully matched.
The manpower consumed in the process of finding a match was also huge.
Then they thought of a wooden lid, but it was not easy to use a knife to carve a smooth spiral pattern on the inside of a small ink bottle lid that could fit the bottle.
Cui Weng and his son pondered this problem for a long time, but in the end they were still at a loss.
In the end, there was no other way.
The old man took some of the successful or failed porcelain bottles they had made recently and went to Luo Yong, hoping that Luo Yong could give him some suggestions.
After all, he was the first to come up with this kind of bottle, and in Cui In the opinion of Weng and others, there is no smarter person in Lishi County than Luo Sanlang.
As expected, Luo Yong did not disappoint Cui Weng.
He proposed an idea to Cui Weng.
That is, the lid of the porcelain bottle can be made shallower, not as deep, and the edge of the lid is slightly buckled inward.
There is no need to make a tight fit between the lid and the bottle.
Just put a layer of eucommia gum on the inside of the lid, and the lid When tightened, the mouth of the bottle will be firmly fastened to the Eucommia gum cushion.
In this way, it not only achieves a sealing effect, but also saves the amount of Eucommia gum.
After Cui Weng learned about this method, he felt like he had found a treasure.
He thanked Luo Yong again and again, bought some Eucommia gum from him, and went home happily.
The method of sealing bottle caps that Luo Yong told him is actually the method used in later generations of glass can bottles.
It is very simple, practical and very common, but not everyone has observed it carefully.
Luo Yong also finished the first batch of After thinking about it again and again, I finally remembered that there is this method.
When they built the cement workshop before, the earthen kilns for burning cement were all built under the guidance of Cui Weng.
He even personally participated in the firing of the first few batches of cement.
Because of his participation, Luo Weng They avoided many detours.
This time Luo Yong came up with this method, and the other party happened to come to him again to learn from him, so Luo Yong told him all the methods he could think of without reservation.
After Cui Weng returned home, he made the inkpot according to Luo Yong's instructions, and he succeeded quickly.
The diameter of the ink bottle cap is about the same as a copper coin.
Now they don’t use Eucommia gum to make the entire bottle cap.
Instead, they only lay a thin layer of Eucommia gum gasket inside the bottle cap.
This not only saves glue. , the sealing performance is also very good, because of the barrier of Eucommia gum, when the bottle cap is closed, even if the ink bottle falls over, the ink will not directly stick to the wooden cap, so there is no need to worry about ink penetration, and finally the The entire bottle cap was stained black.
From the original entire Eucommia gum bottle cap to only a piece of rubber pad inside the bottle cap, the consumption of Eucommia gum has been saved more than ten times.
The ink bottles produced by Cui Ji Pottery Factory only cost 30 cents each.
There were many people placing orders at that time, and a large part of them were purchased by the gentleman who lived in the Xu family guest house.
They wanted to buy some ink bottles. , match the case with the feather bamboo pen you made, and send it to your family and friends far away.
Along with these things were sent out the arithmetic methods they learned from Luo Yong.
Taiyuan City is relatively close to Shixian County and was affected earlier, but the biggest reaction was from Chang'an City.
It was not because of the big impact of the newly made feather bamboo pens and ink bottles.
What really shocked them was the simplified geometric arithmetic.

In the eyes of many people, compared with this extremely simple arithmetic method that even a newly enlightened child can easily pick up, those pens and inks are all inconspicuous side effects.
Not worthy of attention at all.
But there are also some people with a keen sense of smell who have already smelled the coming storm from all the big and small events.
"I'm afraid the world is about to change."
In a spring-filled courtyard, an old man sighed.
"Why did Aweng say this?"
asked a young junior in a moon-white robe across from him.
"Do you still remember how much time you spent just holding a pen and practicing calligraphy when you were enlightened?"
the old man asked him.
"He is fashionable and young, and he is naughty and fun.
It took a lot of effort for you, sir."
The young man said with a smile.
"If I haven't practiced for several months, I won't be able to write anything legible."
Recalling the scene of his grandson practicing calligraphy when he was a child, the old man had a slight smile on his face.
"That's right."
The young man nodded.
"The quill bamboo pen that has been circulating in Chang'an City recently is very convenient.
Women and children can write just by picking it up."
The old man added.
"Then they must learn to read first."
The young man was somewhat disapproving.
"If you don't know how to read now, if you write more and read more, you will be able to recognize it in the future."
The old man shook his head and asked his grandson: "Do you still remember how much a piece of paper cost when you first started learning calligraphy?"
"I haven't calculated it carefully.
Every time the servants go out to buy paper with a lot of money, it usually doesn't take long to come back."
The young man replied.
"Then do you know how many pieces of hemp paper you can buy on the street now for a penny?"
As he said this, the old man sighed again. "" The young man was silent.
First there was hemp paper and then there was a feather bamboo pen.
If people want to read and learn calligraphy now, the cost of learning is really much lower than before.
Since the imperial examination system was implemented in the previous dynasty, countless gentry children have passed the imperial examination and entered the court.
At present, the imperial examination system basically only provides another channel for the children of the gentry to become officials.
At this time, the imperial examination system did not adopt a nameless system.
The test scores were closely related to the candidate's usual reputation and family background.
Moreover, it was difficult for the poor to have the opportunity to study, so they had no way to compete.
There are some dilapidated families or emerging families that are competing for official positions with several mainstream big families through the imperial examination.
However, they basically can't compete.
The so-called low-class families have no noble families, and the high-class families have no poor families.
In an absolute society, In the context of power and politics, it is extremely difficult for a child from a poor family to stand out.
Moreover, the so-called poor families at this time do not refer to ordinary ordinary people, but some small families that are not looked down upon by the big families.
With a background like Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin, sorry, they are not even considered poor families at all. superior.
However, now, this absolute monopoly will soon be broken, and many people don't know it yet.
In the past, what kind of background did a person need to have access to pens, inks, paper and inkstones?
Now because of Narasaburo, the threshold has suddenly been lowered to such a low level.
In the future, the number of literate people in this society will definitely be lowered.

More and more people came, and the seemingly insurmountable gap was almost filled with just a few clicks.
No one in Xipo Village would know about the conversation between the grandfather and grandson in Chang'an City.
Everyone still has to go to class and farm.
They are very busy all day long, but few people have time to spare.
Sit down and think about this.
After the beginning of spring, everything was very busy.
The business in the cement workshop was soaring day by day.
Luo Yong's disciples were as busy as spinning tops, and Luo Yong often had to run there with him.
The gentlemen who lived in Xu's guest house were quite free.
Bai Yimao and the others even rode horses outside for a walk every day.
On this day, after Bai Yimao and the others ran around wildly outside, they returned to the Xu family guest house and saw Uncle Bai having a lively chat with Na Luo Siniang.
They immediately felt a little scared.
"How come I have just come back now and have been playing around all day long, unlike Si Niang, who is imitating me."
Uncle Bai scolded them as soon as he saw these people.
"It's good to go out and relax when you're tired from studying."
Luo Siniang said with a smile.
Luo Yong said this often, but it was the first time that Siniang said this. "" Bai Yimao had a serious expression on his face, always feeling as if something bad was about to happen.
"I feel envious when I see them riding horses.
I want to ride them too."
Sure enough, Luo Siniang said immediately.
"What's the problem?
I'll let them teach you."
Uncle Bai said cheerfully.
If it were an ordinary woman, Uncle Bai would definitely not be able to say this.
Who is Luo Siniang?
She is very athletic, and with her image, people will not think about the relationship between men and women for a while.
"It's true."
Luo Siniang's eyes sparkled.
It seems that the math problems these days have been done in vain.
It is very useful to get online with Uncle Bai.
This strategy is very common.
"Of course."
Uncle Bai gave his nephew a warning look.
This boy dared to mess him up again this time.
""Bai Yimao and the others didn't dare to resist.
The pigtail was still holding on to Uncle Bai, for fear that he would say something to the elders in Chang'an City.
"Hehe."
Luo Siniang smiled.
After all the hard work, the hard work has finally paid off. gd1806102:
