Chapter 642: The plan has been frustrated
You Heng Zai Luoyang quickly established his prestige, especially in Luoyang, and had a terrifying reputation.
All the gentlemen who were caught by You Heng would immediately disperse as soon as they saw You Heng on the street. The people were amazed, so You Heng had a nickname "Clean Street Tiger", which made all the gentlemen shudder.
After you Heng has achieved such great results, he is not proud of this, and he has played his strengths in Luoyang Ling's position more realistically. You Heng began to start with various files, sorted out many mistakes, and made real achievements, so that the big bosses in the DPRK and China had a better opinion of him.
Chen Gong and the others really didn't expect that You Heng, who was full of feces in the past, would be able to make such a big achievement, and he could be called the most capable one among the previous Luoyang Orders. They admired Liu Yu's vision even more, You Heng, who was a little nervous before, was actually able to be used by Liu Yu in the best position.
And Liu Yu is now in a workshop of the "Dark Department", and he is waiting for the results of the work of the "Dark Department".
Liu Yu began to plan how to deal with the situation of the wealthy family's monopoly of talents, and the best way is to spread knowledge. One of the most important is books. Liu Yu has a lot of books in his own collection, and he used to take them out for craftsmen to imitate when he was studying in Bingzhou. But the cost is too high. To make bamboo slips, it takes three years of growth before it can be cut, and after cutting, it must be made into bamboo strips, and then dehydrated and refueled to ensure that it can be stored for a long time, and then written on the bamboo slips, which can become a book. At the same time, in many places in the north, the production of bamboo is not high, and most of the bamboo slips have to be transported from the south. Together, the cost is simply too high. The average family can't afford to buy a lot of books. Because the books are all copied, there are many people who hide the books and slips for their own use, and even Pang Tong, Chen Gong and others have been cheeky to copy books from literati who have a collection of books before. As a result, knowledge is monopolized, and most of the people are quite ignorant.
In addition to most of the generals under Liu Yu's command, most of the Wenchen were from families, as long as a few of them climbed up from the cold door. Chen Gong, Fu Zhu, and Tian Feng are all from big families, and Huang Zhong's Huang family is from a wealthy family in Nanyang.
When You Heng was on his patrol, one of the pieces of information he brought back was that the people under Liu Yu's rule didn't know much about the imperial decrees. It can be seen how withering knowledge is.
The monopoly of knowledge by the family can be said to be a good thing or a bad thing for a powerful ruler.
If the people are not educated, then they will not know that they have suffered a loss, and with other messy fools, the people just choose to obey with hard work. This is what every feudal ruler wants to see.
But the disadvantage is that the family is getting stronger and stronger, and finally the emperor is emptied, and then there are ministers to suppress the king, then the emperor's rule will come to an end, and finally change the dynasty. Cao Wei's replacement by the Sima family is the best example.
What Liu Yu has to do now is to solve this problem, and he is now arranging for the "dark department" craftsmen to improve papermaking techniques. Paper has always existed in the Han Dynasty, and the most famous is the Cai Lun paper made by the great eunuch Cai Lun's improved papermaking technique. However, this Cai Lun paper is very inconvenient to write, and it is not as easy to use as a book. Liu Yu didn't know anything about papermaking at all, and if he knew that he was going back to ancient times, he would have memorized all the knowledge he needed on Baidu.
It's just that Liu Yu believes that after the brainstorming of many craftsmen and a large amount of money, it is very easy to make paper that can be written.
Liu Yu is now looking forward to the workshop of the "dark part" to make the paper he wants. Liu Yu has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in this workshop, and has improved the papermaking technique, and now it is time to produce results.
Li Gui was busy commanding, and he was busy for a whole day, but the final result was that Liu Yu was disappointed.
Failed to make paper! Although the paper that comes out can be formed, it can't write at all, and it is not even as good as Cai Lun paper.
"Did it fail?" Liu Yu took the baked paper, obviously disappointed.
"Damn it!" The entire workshop knelt down for Liu Yu, and His Majesty's disappointment was the biggest blow to them.
Liu Yu waved and said, "Get up." ”
Li Gui led everyone to stand up.
Liu Yu said: "I know that it is very difficult for you to make paper that can be written. But I tell you that the usefulness of this paper is a matter for generations to come. This is not something that happens overnight, and I hope that you will continue to work hard to make a satisfying paper. ”
"Obey your orders!" Li Gui took the lead and said.
Full of hope but disappointed to the end, Liu Yu didn't have any extra thoughts to stay here, and left the workshop directly with Li Gui.
"Zhong Yun, I don't want the affairs of this workshop to be known by people outside." Liu Yu admonished.
Papermaking is so important to Liu Yu that it is so important that he can't exchange his life for a heavy treasure. If someone else finds out, I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable to Liu Yu's plan.
"The minister has arranged for heavy troops to defend outside the workshop, and the open and dark posts are no longer arranged. The craftsmen in the workshop are all old men in the shadows, and the foundation is clear. The minister will search everyone who enters and leaves the workshop, and all the production materials are kept by the minister. Li Gui assured.
Liu Yu nodded when he heard it, Li Gui was able to attach importance to this matter, proving that he was not wrong, there were also several loopholes in what Li Gui said just now, Liu Yu advised: "You should also pay attention to the purchase of raw materials, and the procurement of materials for testing should not make others suspicious." Moreover, the amount of material used in each test should be clearly recorded, so that problems can be better found. ”
"I understand." Liu Yu said so carefully, Li Gui knew the importance of the matter.
After the explanation, Liu Yu asked Li Gui to go down, Liu Yu stayed in the workshop all day, and he was really tired.
Liu Yu returned to his dormitory, and then lay down on the bed, thinking about every part of the workshop in his mind, and he wondered what was wrong.
Liu Yu is not a top talent in this area, and he has not thought of the problem after thinking about it for a long time.
"This kind of high-tech thing really needs professional talents to solve." Liu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Since there is no way to quickly make suitable paper, Liu Yu can only take his time.
After figuring this out, Liu Yu fell into a deep sleep.
