The Three Kingdoms

In terms of talent and learning, Cai Yong is definitely above him. In terms of fame, Sheng Xian is at most well-known in Jiangdong, but Cai Yong is a world-renowned Confucian, which cannot be compared, and Cai Yong's character is worthy of his respect .

Moreover, Cai Yong can succeed Jiangdong Academy's sacrificial wine, then Jiangdong Academy will not be limited to the development of Jiangdong, and will definitely be famous all over the world. This is the reaction brought by a person's reputation. He Shengxian asked himself that he does not have such a big influence .

"Sheng Jijiu, you will always be Jiangdong Academy's first Jijiu, and this will be engraved in the history of Jiangdong Academy." Sun Quan was touched by Sheng Xian's generosity, which saved him a lot of verbal effort.

"Hahaha, son, with your words, I will be satisfied." If Sheng Xian didn't feel a little lost in his heart, it would be impossible, as if the food he planted was suddenly picked by someone when it was ripe. .

"A gentleman never ends up violating benevolence. Mistakes must follow. Disruption must follow..."

"What is the difference between those who do nothing and those who cannot..."

The unused sound of reading resounded through the academy. While listening to the sound of reading, the three of them walked into a spacious wing room. There were more than a dozen desks in the wing room. This is the teacher's office. It is time for class, and there is nothing here .

The top one was Sheng Xian's desk, and the three of them sat on the floor facing the desk.

"Sheng Jijiu, Quan wants to know about the current situation of Jiangdong Academy." After Sun Quan sat down on his knees, he was a little embarrassed and said apologetically, "I have had too many things to do in the past six months, so I have neglected the Academy."

"Young Master, there are 310 students and [-] teachers in our academy. Xian never thought that Jiangdong Academy would have what it is today." Sheng Xian sighed slightly, but also satisfied.

In Sun Quan's eyes, this scale was naturally insufficient, and it was worse than a modern elementary school. However, in this era, the imperial court's imperial school had come to an end, and the scale of dozens of people in an ordinary private school Confucian school was not bad.

Jiangdong Academy can have hundreds of students, and in the future it will be able to produce hundreds of scholars. The Han Dynasty is not the 21st century. In that era, everyone is a scholar, but in this era, one out of ten people who can read is considered good. .

"Zhongmou, most of Jiangdong Academy's students are poor students!" Xu Shu sat next to him, flipped through the information recorded in the academy's student roster, and said in a low voice with his eyes moving.

"Jiangdong Academy was newly built after all, and it is not well-known. The disciples of ordinary aristocratic families have schools run by their families, so naturally they look down on Jiangdong Academy."

Sun Quan didn't think so, he smiled slightly, his eyes burst into a scorching light, and said: "But it won't take long, Jiangdong Academy will become the most famous, most famous, and best-qualified academy in Jiangdong, but the disciples of these aristocratic families will probably compete to be the first Come later."

"Just relying on the teacher's reputation is not enough!" Xu Shu's eyes lit up, looked at Sun Quan, and said, "Zhong Mou, you are so confident in what you said, you must still have a trump card hidden."

"Hey, Yuan Zhi, you really understand me." Sun Quan smiled, stood up, and said, "You all come with me, I'll take you to see something nice."

Jiangdong Academy is built on a small mountain with beautiful scenery. There is a big house on the back mountain of the academy. This house is not small, almost half the size of the academy. When the academy was first established, it was built together. This is the rule of Sun Quan. No one from the academy is allowed to approach, even Sheng Xian doesn't know what is going on in this house.

"My lord, what is this?" Sun Quan pushed the door open, and the three of them walked in. After a look, they found that there seemed to be another cave inside, and there were hundreds of people busy going back and forth in front of them. Sheng Xian was a little confused when he saw it.

"This is actually a big workshop. Half of the place is used for paper making. It specializes in the development and manufacture of Caihou paper. It can be regarded as providing paper for Jiangdong Academy in the future. The other half of the place is used to study my trump card." Sun Quan smiled and introduced. road.

At this time, two people came out of it, one was about fifty years old, and the other was a tall middle-aged man.

"My lord, you are here." The middle-aged man was Luo Zhong, an outstanding craftsman in Wu County, who had been invited here by Sun Quan half a year ago.

"Young master, I haven't seen you for several months. I thought you forgot about us." The old man has no real name, his surname is Han, and his name is Han Laogen. He knows how to make paper, and his grandfather and father both made paper. Cai Houzhi's research is very deep, and Sun Quan found him from Danyang.

In the Western Han Dynasty, paper did appear, but the cost was very high, the texture was rough, the quantity was small, and it was not popularized. It was not until the Yuanxing period of the Eastern Han Dynasty that a man named Cai Lun improved the situation by using bark, hemp, Common raw materials such as rags and fishing nets are used to make paper. This kind of paper is low in cost and high in quality, which makes paper gradually popularized. However, relatively speaking, paper is still a rare product, because in this feudal era, the knowledge The spread is too narrow, and there are not many people who know how to make Caihou paper.

"I, Sun Quan, have forgotten who, and I don't dare to forget you two great heroes." Sun Quan patted the shoulders of the two, and said, "Is it possible?"

"Young master, I have followed your instructions to improve the paper-making workshop and produce it in an assembly line. Now our paper output has increased significantly, and we have accumulated several warehouses, which are enough to supply the academy and the general's mansion," Han Laogen said. .

"Very good, but the supply needs to be larger. There is no end to anything. Caihou can research Caihou paper, which proves that the papermaking technology can still improve. You should grasp three aspects to research, the least cost, The fastest speed, the best quality, understand?" Sun Quan said with a smile on his face.

"This subordinate understands." Han Laogen was greatly encouraged and nodded.

Sun Quan continued to ask: "Luo Zhong, how about you, how is the progress, you should know that your research is what I care most about."

"My lord, please follow me." Luo Zhong said with his eyes brightened.

The east side of the house is a little different from the paper-making workshop on the west side. It is also a workshop, but it is much quieter, with only a few dozen people busy, and printing plates are lined up one by one.

"This is?"

"It really is a killer weapon, it is a big killer!"

Sheng Xian and Xu Shu were a little shocked when they saw it, and there was an indescribable excitement in their hearts.

With their wisdom and eyesight, looking at the usefulness of this printing plate, they naturally understand it, and they dare not think that if printing plates can be used to replace manual plagiarism, then... this will be a storm.

"Young master, this is the most suitable printing plate that I made after a long time of research with them according to the blueprint you provided." Luo Zhong was a little excited, and explained: "We used to use wood and some metals. I tried it, but the effect was not good, either it was useless after one use, or the printing was not clear, and finally I used this kind of clay to make the living printing plate you mentioned, which can be used repeatedly.”

"How about the printing effect? ​​Is there a finished product?" Sun Quan squinted his eyes, watching the characters made of clay glue. After being hardened by firing pottery, they can be printed after typesetting.

He can only remember a general idea of ​​movable type printing, and he can’t remember many details. He is not very clear about the raw materials, but he has to say that human wisdom is endless. As long as you give him a direction, you can give him An oppressive force is bound to burst into surprises.

"Have!"

Luo Zhong took a book from a deputy next to him, and said, "This is a sample of the latest printed book, the Analects. It was bound yesterday, and it is very clear!"

"Take a look, both of you. How about this book?" Sun Quan smelled a strong scent of ink, looked at it carefully, was very satisfied, and handed it to the two people around him.

"The font is very neat, very neat, very clear, better than what we copy by hand, good, great, that is to say, printing can be used instead of hand copying in the future, so there will not be so few folk books. "

Sheng Xian was very satisfied, he laughed and said: "This is a great artifact of the Academy."

There are a lot of students in the academy, and there are only eleven teachers to teach Analects, Mencius, and universities. There is no time for copying. Nowadays, there are not enough students in the academy to hold a single book.

"Zhongmou, how did you come up with the idea of ​​movable type printing? It's too great for scholars." Xu Shu's eyes were serious. His eyes not only saw the function of movable type printing, but also saw the effect of movable type printing For the scholars in the whole world, it is a big change.

How to read without books?

If movable type printing can replace hand copying, it means that if you want to repeat a book in the future, you don’t need to copy it hard, and people who have more books will have more talents.

"This movable type printing technique, coupled with Cai Zhonglang's family's collection of books, and Cai Zhonglang's reputation, can it push Jiangdong Academy to the altar!" Sun Quan asked with narrowed eyes.

"of course can."

Sheng Xian and Xu Shu's eyes brightened, and they became more and more confident about the future of Jiangdong Academy.

"Luo Zhong, from now on, you will start printing. Tomorrow I will have someone bring over the sample books. From now on, the papermaking workshop next to you will supply you with all your strength, and print as many as you have."

Sun Quan said firmly.

"No!" Luo Zhong nodded.
