Three Kingdoms: Faint King, starting from forcing Dong Zhuo to offer his granddaughter

"You are my right-hand man. I will leave this important matter to you."

Liu Bian said calmly.

Yuan Shao glanced at his father Yuan Feng, although the latter gave him a hint of refusal, Yuan Shao still agreed.

"The minister leads the order!"

As a concubine, his status in the Yuan family is not high, and he has always been looked down upon.

now,

Yuan Shu can accept the emperor's attention, why can't he?

This is clearly biased.

Everyone was very surprised. His Majesty established the academy clearly to suppress the aristocratic family, so why did he reuse the two young men of the Yuan family one after another!

What confuses them even more is, why does His Majesty want so much bamboo?

Then,

Liu Bian also talked about several materials, and handed them over to the Yang family and the Wei family to purchase.

These materials are naturally used for papermaking.

After leaving court,

All the big families are discussing what happened today.

"Brother, what medicine do you think is sold in His Majesty's gourd?"

The Yuan family, a whole family gathered together.

However, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu went to work separately.

"Your Majesty founded a school, and we donated books to him but he didn't want it. It's really puzzling."

"How many people can he teach with just those books in the palace?"

"Nine times out of ten, he will follow in the footsteps of Hongdumen."

Yuan Kui couldn't understand it.

As a big family, they have their own system for cultivating talents.Therefore, it is clear how important books are to talents.

Without extensive reading and knowledge accumulation, as well as the guidance of famous teachers, it is difficult for a smart person to become a talent.

Although the imperial court has such celebrities as Cai Yong, Ma Riyun, and Chen Ji.

but no books,

That's why it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Is there any other way for Your Majesty to obtain a large number of books?" Yuan Ji interrupted suddenly.

Hearing this, Yuan Xu suddenly sneered,

"Your Majesty asked Ben Chu to collect bamboo from the south. Could it be that he wants to make a large number of bamboo slips?"

He found the idea ridiculous.

Even if a large number of bamboo slips are produced, transcribing books is a very difficult job.

If this is what His Majesty thinks of, then by the time the preparations are done, the day lily will be cold.

What Imperial College will definitely become a joke by then.

However, Yuan Feng frowned all the time,

"Don't underestimate Your Majesty!"

"Dong Zhuo was so powerful at the beginning because he thought His Majesty was a brat, so what now."

"The Xiongnu underestimated His Majesty and almost wiped out their clan!"

"Although His Majesty is young, he is extremely intelligent. I always feel that he has found a way to produce a large number of books."

For the family, this is not good news.

Once the imperial court mastered a large amount of knowledge reserves and the method of cultivating poor students, the power of the aristocratic family would definitely be greatly weakened.

If there is no way to batch export disciples and old officials, then they cannot be called aristocratic families.

"Brother, should we discuss it with Yang Wangwei and his family?"

Yuan Kai also became worried, "If His Majesty is really allowed to establish the academy, within five years, the status of the aristocratic family will plummet!"

The emperor's running of a school has violated the common interests of the aristocratic families.

Therefore,

They want to bring in several other great families.

"It is necessary!"

Yuan Feng said with certainty, "Have you noticed that after the dynasty was dispersed, besides Cai Yong and Tang Mao, His Majesty left one person behind."

Yuan Kai and the others suddenly came to their senses: "Uncle Zuo?"

Yuan Feng nodded, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes, "That's right, it's Uncle Zuo!"

In the court, he was an old man with a kind face, and even a bit of kindness.

But he is also the head of the Yuan family, and he never lacks in cruelty when facing people who threaten the interests of the family.

"I understand."

Yuan Xu nodded, he understood what his uncle meant.

After leaving Yuan's house, Yuan Kui went to Yang's house in person.

At this time, in the palace.

Liu Bian led Cai Yong, Tang Mao and Zuo Bo to the imperial study.

Before crossing, Liu Bian had never heard of Uncle Zuo.

After time travel, he inherited the memory of the main body, and he knew that Dahan had such a paper-making talent.

He improved on the basis of Caihou paper, and used mulberry bark as raw material to produce paper with uniform thickness, fine texture and bright color.

It is called "Zuo Bo Paper".

What the royal family uses now is the Zuobo paper he invented.

However, although the paper he invented is much better than Caihou paper, it is still too expensive to be popularized.

Only the royal family and nobles can afford it.

But it is undeniable that he is a talent in papermaking.

"Your Majesty, you have just been in court, why don't you want the books donated by the family?"

"To start a school, you need a lot of books to support it. Otherwise, if you recruit students, but you can't give them learning conditions, it's tantamount to doing nothing."

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Cai Yong couldn't help complaining.

Although Tang Mao didn't speak, he had the same thoughts as Cai Yong.

Liu Bian smiled slightly, "Cai Qing, don't worry, I'll show you something good."

Liu Bian took out a piece of wood and showed it to them.

"Look, what is this?"

The three hurried forward,

I saw a word engraved on the wood, but it was not a word.

"It's written in big characters upside down!"

Cai Yong quickly recognized it.

"what about this?"

Liu Bian then took out another piece of wood that was also engraved with words.

"Chinese characters written in reverse."

With the experience just now, Cai Yong recognized it at a glance.

Liu Bian then took out several wooden blocks, and he also recognized them at a glance.

He is no stranger to reverse words.

Because when the first emperor asked him to compile the Xiping Stone Classics, he used the rubbing method.The words rubbed from the stele are reversed.

Putting down all the wooden blocks, Liu Bian took out a piece of Zuo Bo paper,

Cai Yong immediately reacted,

"Your Majesty intends to print books?

However, the cost is too high.

The price of paper alone is not cheap.

And engraving the book version is also very time-consuming.

Just one book of "The Analects of Confucius" may take more than half a year. "

He felt that His Majesty's approach was hasty.

Chapter 97 Movable Type and Improved Papermaking

The technique of rubbing is not very clever, on the contrary it is more troublesome than copying by hand.

Cai Yong and others spent several years compiling the "Xiping Stone Classic".

Therefore, he felt that the emperor's method would not work.

However, Liu Bian ignored his rebuttal, reversed the word "big", painted ink on it, and pressed it lightly with paper.

Immediately printed a correct "big" character.

"How about it, my writing is okay."
