Through some untraceable way, Zuo Bo made a technological innovation in the production of paper, and the news soon spread to Luoyang.

So immediately someone "went to the table" and "informed" Guo Peng of such a thing.

Guo Peng immediately told the Ministry of Finance about the matter, and asked Wang Cang to send someone to Qingzhou to talk to "Uncle Zuo" about the matter, to see if he could get more paper at a lower price.

If yes, then buy in large quantities, and the more you buy, the better.

The Great Wei Dynasty needed paper, the local government needed paper, and the grassroots officials also needed a lot of paper.

And the paper obtained can just make up for this part of the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall.

After the Ministry of Finance learned of the incident, Wang Cang attached great importance to this matter and immediately ordered capable officials of the Ministry of Finance to go to Qingzhou to learn about the matter.

After learning that this was indeed true, Wang Cang learned that the price of paper had dropped by about 20% compared with the past, and the number of purchases available was also more.

However, compared to the past, it is much cheaper, and the number of purchases has increased by a large margin.

Wang Cang was very happy and immediately informed Guo Peng, who was also very "happy", and immediately ordered the Ministry of Finance to increase the purchase of paper and use this part of the paper in the daily official affairs of the imperial court.

Then, according to the size of the local population, the local government is allocated official paper, which is used to record data, so as to gradually reduce the amount of bamboo slips used in terms of data and replace it with paper.

Do you have anything to say now?

The teaching needs of the Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall have finally been satisfied.

In order to curry favor with Guo, Wang Cang not only approved the budget of bamboo slips, but also specially approved a batch of "Zuo Bo paper" to go to Shouyangshan Lecture Hall for Shouyangshan Lecture Hall.

Guo, who knows the mystery well, is very happy about this.

He wanted to know what would happen to those who were eager for a monopoly when the quantity of Zuo Bo paper increased more and more in the near future, and the price became cheaper and cheaper, and the quantity changed qualitatively, and the world changed.

Government officials were hungry for more paper, for more convenient writing to help them, so Guo complied with their expectations, and even exceeded them.

How would they feel?

Can they realize that this kind of thing will have an impact on their monopoly?

Will you react immediately, or will you realize it after many years?

To be honest, the paper business is really not good.

This business is sensitive.

More than once, some people have tried to reach out to Qingzhou's paper industry.

I want to get the production method of paper, or explore the mystery of paper production, or even get the right to produce and sell paper, and want to get a piece of the pie.

Originally, Qingzhou's paper industry was not simple, and the water was very deep, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the warlords completely disrupted the original pattern, and the pool of water was emptied, and the eight kings in it were also exposed.

The damn ones are dead.

The latecomers are obviously not simple.

If it weren't for Guo Peng's big banner and tiger skin to tie up the papermaking business with Mi's, use Mi's as the backstage, and then do the backstage for Mi's himself, Zuo Bo's business is estimated to be really difficult to do.

Mi's identity is still quite useful, and it is simply an almighty white glove.

But Mi can bear for a while, can not bear a lifetime, as the use of paper is more and more extensive, the output is getting larger and larger, Mi will not be able to withstand this pressure.

That's why Guo Peng used such a more secretive and gentle way to release the paper little by little, intending to complete the paper revolution in a milder way rather than exploding in one go.

At the same time, he is also looking forward to what some people will think about such facts and what kind of things they will do.

The paper is released relatively slowly, each month is more productive than the previous month, and the price of each month will be slightly cheaper than the previous month's price.

The more paper you have, the better it will work, and the more affordable it will be.

Boiling a frog in warm water is not a good proposition, and Guo has no way to cover the pot with a lid, but Guo is very interested in how much the frog will endure before jumping out.

How far can they insist on compromise before it erupts?

Guo didn't know, so he had to do an experiment.

But once this experiment starts, it can't be over, and there's no going back.

Therefore, the day when paper books will be published in the world is not far off.

The real Armageddon is not far off.

What kind of wave the paper revolution and the printing revolution will set off is something that Guo cannot predict for the time being.

But the war must have been fierce.

It is impossible to take this part of the interests from those with vested interests without bloodshed.

This kind of thing is not a simple dinner.

Guo wants to gamble on the national fortunes of the Guo Wei Empire.

At the moment, Shouyang Mountain's martial arts hall is certain, it can be preserved and stable.

Anyway, the teaching needs of Shouyang Mountain Lecture Hall have been met, and the enrollment can be further deepened and accelerated.

At the same time, the content and method of teaching, as well as the instructors and the like, Guo has already begun to select.

He believed that it was imperative to train these 500 men to become the mainstay of the future army.

The combat effectiveness of the army must be maintained, and after the generals of the older generation have grown old and cannot continue to fight, there must be new people to replace them in time, so that there will not be the state of lack of succession as that of Shu Han and Wu State.

The most unreliable place of Jiangmen lies in the inheritance, that is, in the lack of succession, once there is no reliable descendant, it is equivalent to a country's military talent will be faulty, how terrible is that?

In the case of a seventy-year-old veteran being a pioneer, Guo will definitely not allow Wei to appear.

After these things were done, Guo happened to receive Yu Ban's request to transfer Zhang Fei away.

It said that Zhang Fei was too noisy, he just wanted to fight, he couldn't be idle at all, and if he didn't let him fight, he would toss people, but he was very old, and he couldn't clean it up according to common sense.

Yu Ban felt that he couldn't toss with Zhang Fei about this kind of thing, so he asked Guo Peng to help, and he helped him for the sake of Yu Ban's pitiful sake.

After reading Yu Ban's secret recital, Guo Peng felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhang Fei, when will you be able to settle down a little?

No, if he is settled, he will not be Zhang Fei.

The general's destructiveness seems to be directly proportional to the level of the noise.

Zhang Fei has always been very noisy and destructive, both to the Wei State and to foreign enemies.

It is precisely because he has never changed, from before the founding of the People's Republic of China to after the founding of the People's Republic of China, from a small soldier leader to a general of tens of thousands of people, he has always been like this.

That's why Guo Peng likes Zhang Fei so much.

It is a rare thing to have a subordinate who has not changed from beginning to end, so in many things, Guo Peng is relatively tolerant of Zhang Fei.

Forget it, then think about what to do for him.

Guo Peng thought about it again and again, thinking that the war in Liaodong was basically a finishing touch, and Yu Ban could easily complete it, and he didn't need Zhang Fei's super killer.

However, there are still four counties in Liangzhou that are not actually under the jurisdiction of the Wei Empire, which is considered an unfinished task.

Four counties in Hexi.

Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County.

After the initial elimination of Ma Teng and Han Sui's separatist forces, limited to logistical problems, Guo Peng did not continue to order Cao Ren's army to advance westward, but ordered Cao Ren to lead his army to garrison the local area, develop tuntian, accumulate grain, repair roads, and train cavalry.

After the other problems are solved, the preparation will officially enter the Hexi Corridor, take back the remaining four counties, and then officially prepare to enter the Western Regions.

Now that everything that should be cleaned up is almost cleaned up, and I have a little free up on my side, so I can arrange it.
