Chapter 286: Lao Yang, Lao Wang and Lao Huang

Delicious and inexpensive building, third floor.
This time, there were only four people who came to share the cake, in addition to Liu Hanshao, there were Yang Biao, Wang Yun and Huang Wan. When the cake was distributed last time, Wang Yun and Huang Wan were not in Beijing, and this time they called Yang Biao again because Liu Hanshao felt that Lao Yang should play a greater role.
There is a printing workshop under the "Dahan Monthly", in addition to printing the "Dahan Monthly", it also prints books, although the craftsmen usually work overtime and are very busy, but due to the scale restrictions, the printed monthly books have always been in short supply. And this time the cake is divided into this piece, regardless of how much money is made, being able to master advanced papermaking, ink, and printing technology is absolutely attractive to the families of the Han Dynasty.
The so-called Kansai is a general, Kanto is a minister, and the three in front of him, Yang Biao's hometown Huayin, Wang Yun's hometown Taiyuan, and Huang Wan's hometown Jiangxia, none of them are from Kanto. Although I dare not say that mastering these advanced technologies may change the political pattern of the entire Han Dynasty, mastering these technologies will definitely make one's family stand in a prominent position.
Therefore, Liu Hanshao believes that as long as he has a carrot in his hand, these three old men will not fail to follow him.
"Lao Yang, Lao Wang, Lao Huang, what my brother said just now has been very clear, we can only encourage rich people to spend more money in order to make the poor make more money, so we have to slowly change many of the previous rules. For example, Wujue is not allowed to sit in a big carriage, and businessmen are not allowed to wear silk, these rules are meaningless, but they still make people unable to spend their money, so they are in a hurry. β
Yang Biao hadn't swallowed a mouthful of squirrel fish, and after listening to Liu Hanshao's words, he hurriedly poured a little wine and wanted to speak, but Wang Yun took the lead.
"Your Majesty, if you want to collect the wealth of a wealthy family and nourish the people, it is really a feat of goodwill for the public world. It's not that the old minister doesn't know your mind, but the etiquette system is the foundation of stabilizing the world, once it is destroyed, there is no respect for the lower than the top, no respect for the lowly, the etiquette is chaotic, and the law is lacking, and there will be a big disaster in the future, endangering the society. β
I don't know if it's because I drank a little wine, or because I took other people's hands short, the hot old man Wang Yun actually changed his temperament in the past, and persuaded Liu Han to come less.
Yang Biao was robbed of the conversation just now, and he was unhappy, so he didn't wait for Liu Hanshao to flicker, so he went back first.
"According to the old minister, Premier Wang is worried and too cautious. The change of rules that His Majesty said is not completely disregarding etiquette and law, but just to make it easier for the wealthy to go out and dress better. Even if they were allowed to ride in a four-wheeled carriage and wear good silk fabrics, who would dare to risk the condemnation of the world, overstep the system, and override the system? β
Liu Hanshao saw that there was help, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, what Lao Yang said is right." Even if they are allowed to wear silk casually, they can't wear court clothes and uniforms casually! Whoever dares to pretend to be an official or a general, then our court will definitely have to clean him up! β
Huang Wan just nodded, and said in his heart, I'll take a look, I won't speak. But he didn't want to speak, so Liu Hanshao just talked to him.
"Lao Huang, this time I handed over the printing house to your family to take care of it, because my brother heard that there is a man named Huang Chengyan in your family, and he has a lot of research on the art of organs, and my brother also wants to see if he can improve the printing technique, so that we can print books more conveniently and quickly."
Huang Wan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Huang Chengyan is a famous man in Jingzhou, and he should be the brother of the old minister, but since the great-ancestor Xianggong, my Huang family has many side branches in Nanyang, Chuyang, and Lingling. Huang Chengyan is the Huang family of Chuyang, and he has lived in Xiangyang for a long time, so the old minister only knows the name of this brother, but he has no chance to visit. β
Liu Hanshao said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if you haven't met, anyway, you can't write two yellow characters in one stroke, you invite him to come back, you old brothers will meet each other, don't you know each other." β
Speaking of this, Liu Hanshao seemed to have just remembered, and suddenly said: "By the way, brother also heard that there is a person in your old Huang family named Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, is a brave warrior, just this time you invited Huang Chengyan to Beijing, so let him escort him, how about it?" β
Huang Wan asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, who did you listen to?" This Huang Zhong, the old minister really doesn't know! β
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, you have a name and a surname, you can ask more when you go back, ask me!"
"Yes, after the old minister returned, he wrote to his home and ordered someone to inquire."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Do you think my brother really likes Huang Chengyan? Even Huang Zhong is not indispensable. If my brother bluntly said that he wanted to find a yellow-haired girl, I was afraid that you would be afraid!
It is said that many of Zhuge Liang's inventions were actually completed with the help of his wife, and his wife was Huang Yueying, the daughter of Huang Chengyan's family. Of course, Liu Hanshao didn't have the intention of booking a daughter-in-law for Zhuge Liang, but just thought that if that was said to be true, then Huang Yueying was probably also a little demon, and he was still an invention genius. Thinking about it again, Huang Yueying's invention is influenced by family factors, and it is difficult for Huang Chengyan to really bring surprises.
"Lao Yang, brother thinks that after spring ploughing, we have to hold another trade fair."
"Do you want to open a cement plant again?"
"More than that. They also sell clocks, horse-drawn carriages, glass, clothes, shoes, and bags. Anyway, it is a new thing that we have in Luoyang, which can be vigorously promoted to the surrounding area and develop secondary agents. In addition, we can also promote the office life mode of our Beijing Division, and the state and county governments will concentrate their offices and residential areas, which will be convenient for work, management and protection. As for the concentrated residential areas, you can first raise funds from local officials, and then build residential buildings, which can also boost cement sales and provide more job opportunities for workers. β
Yang Biao asked a little confused: "Your Majesty, what is fundraising?" β
Liu Hanshao's head was black, and he said in his heart, you have let your brother peel off the skin, haven't you realized it yet?
"Raising funds means that the officials will pay for it themselves, and the state and county governments will plan, design, and build residential buildings in a unified manner, and then distribute them to the officials to live in."
After listening to Liu Hanshao's explanation, Lao Yang, Lao Wang, and Lao Huang really collectively had black lines in their heads, and said in their hearts, Your Majesty, you are addicted to peeling skin. But no one is embarrassed to object, especially Yang Biao, this time he got papermaking, and the attraction is not comparable to the dividends of selling cement.
Although since Cai Lun improved the papermaking technology, the use of paper has become more and more extensive, and then gradually improved later, especially at that time, Donglai left style papermaking is better, the thickness of the paper is uniform, the texture is fine, and the color is bright. However, it is expensive and has a small production.
In the early years in the mountains of Beibi, Liu Hanshao and they also used Zuo's paper, and later a research team began to study, according to Liu Hanshao's words, no matter what raw material it is, even if it is a handful of wild grass, as long as the plant fiber is extracted, it can be made into paper. Now, as the pulping process becomes more and more mature, the output of paper has also increased, and some research groups have begun to study rolling nets and plan to make paper machines.
In addition, there is also a saying that if the Yuan family belonged to the first family at that time, then the Yang family must be the second family, but the problem is that the feeling of being the second family is always weird. Therefore, Yang Biao secretly wanted to fight, and work harder, so that he could compete with Yuan Benchu for a long time. Being able to master advanced papermaking techniques makes reading no longer difficult and expensive, the Yang family will inevitably be able to recruit a wide range of protΓ©gΓ©s, and there may not be no chance to surpass the Yuan family in the future.
Therefore, at the moment, let alone asking Yang Biao to support the construction of the building, even if Liu Hanshao asked him to go back and demolish his family's Xiaobiye, I am afraid he will not hesitate at all.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Lao Wang, believe it or not, the two of us, five hundred years ago, were actually one family."
Liu Hanshao looked full of emotion, reminiscing about the past, and it didn't look like a joke, but the topic turned too fast, and the old man's head was a little twisted.
Your surname is Liu, how can you be the same as the surname Wang? Could it be ...... Wang Yun is a descendant of Wang Mang, and he is related to the old Liu family?
It is said that Wang Yun was transferred to the imperial palace to become the prime minister, which surprised everyone, including Wang Yun himself. For this result, Yang Biao was happy in his heart, because Wang Yun was too strong, and he always liked to quarrel with His Majesty when he had nothing to do. If you annoy Your Majesty because of this, and catch the Prime Minister's Mansion to clean it up, wouldn't it be unlucky to follow him?
Now the left and right phases of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Huang Wan's foundation is no longer Luoyang, he is upright and easy-going, Xun Yu is young and promising, and he is willing to work hard to do practical things, so Yang Biao is very satisfied with his two helpers. However, for Wang Yun to become the prime minister of the imperial government, he was both apprehensive and incomprehensible.
It is said that among the three mansions, the imperial palace is the closest to His Majesty, not only under the jurisdiction of Yanyun Tuan and Sohu, but even the three divisions and three offices are all there, which can be understood as the prime minister's mansion and the military government are working, and the imperial government is specially supervising the work.
However, why is it Wang Yun, does Your Majesty like to find someone to quarrel with if you have nothing to do?
Everyone else regards Wang Yun as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but Wang Yun still can't find where his position is. But this time to have a small meeting and share the sweetness, His Majesty did not leave himself behind, and handed over the ink manufacturing factory to his own family to take care of, and now he even patted his shoulder and said that he is a family.
Wang Yun is just hot-tempered, not ignorant of what to do, so he is very moved at the moment, but he is still confused...... Your Majesty drank too much, right? Or maybe you just have a crush on my daughter? But I don't have a daughter, so I always want to take in a righteous girl......
The old man had his own thoughts, but he heard Liu Hanshao say again: "Old Wang, this time hundreds of thousands of people in Taihang will move to the north. This is a very important event, which not only tests the coordination and organization ability of various localities and ministries, but also concerns the prestige and face of the imperial court! We can't let people abandon their homes and businesses to follow us, only to end up on a difficult road of no return, right? If that's the case, who will dare to believe in our court in the future, and who will dare to believe in the emperor? β
I only heard Liu Hanshao shout again: "Old Wang, ......"
Wang Yun hurriedly responded: "The minister is here!" β
"You go to Taiyuan!"
