"What's the difference?" Wei Yan looked at the young man who was tinkering with the planks suspiciously.

"I don't know, I always feel that this world shouldn't be like this." The young man is Liu Yi, at this moment, he frowned and thought about the current situation, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and kept brushing the ink he had adjusted on the top of the rubbing board with a brush, and turned his head to look at Wei Yan: "Wen Chang has been very idle lately?" ”

"Well, I haven't had much to do lately." Wei Yan nodded, sat on the Hu bed and looked at Liu Yi and said, "It's better for you to stay here comfortably, and by the way, I'll give you some advice." ”

"You? Understand? Liu Yi chose a piece of paper and pressed it on the rubbing board, twisted it with a wooden stick, peeled off the paper, looked at the somewhat blurred handwriting, and frowned.

"That is, the one hundred and thirty-second floor in Nanyang, which one hasn't been there?" Wei Yanhe said with a smile.

"Can this be the same?" Liu Yi glanced at him with a dark face, frowned and thought, he knew very well what was the difference between himself and Lu Lingqi, and now he was struggling to make up for it, this rubbing board was the qualification he prepared for himself, but he didn't know if anyone could find out the mystery.

"How is it different?" Wei Yan shook his head and smiled?

"The ink is wrong, and the paper is too soft." Liu Yi frowned and looked at the paper in his hand.

"Hey, listen to me!" Wei Yan said with some annoyance.

Liu Yi ignored him, took out some powder from the room to remix the ink, thought about it, looked at Wei Yan and said, "You go and help me get some mulberry hemp." ”

"What for?" Wei Yan said speechlessly, Liu Yi has entered the state of work, and he can't listen to anything anymore.

"It works." Liu Yi just said two words, then turned around and continued to make ink.

"Hey, if you can marry the general's daughter, you still need these?" Wei Yan slapped Liu Yi and said.

"If this thing can be made, I am worthy of it, why do I need to look at people's faces?" Liu Yi shook his head and continued to grind the ink, adding some powder from time to time.

Wei Yan had no choice but to get up and go to help find Sangma.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a scribe standing outside the door.

"Are you ......" Wei Yan looked at the people who came, a little faced, there are not many scholars in this Nanyang land, he has seen most of them.

"In Xia Xu Shu." Xu Shu smiled and said.

"Oh......" Wei Yan nodded, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Shu: "Mr. Yuanzhi?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"Bo Yuan, came out to pick up guests!?" Wei Yan suddenly turned around and yelled at Liu Yi.

Xu Shu: "......"

Liu Yi: "......"

"Sir, please!" Wei Yan didn't care about this, and hurriedly let Xu Shu in.

Xu Shu looked at this quiet courtyard, it was quite elegant, and there was a feeling of relaxation, the courtyard was not big, but it gave people a feeling of emptiness, whether it was layout or furnishings, it didn't look like a craftsman's home, if it weren't for the tools in the courtyard and the sawdust all over the ground, it was a hermit's house, Xu Shu believed it.

Liu Yi in the courtyard naturally couldn't continue to do things, so he got up and saluted Xu Shu: "I've seen Mr. Yuanzhi." ”

The name of Xu Shu is not unfamiliar among scholars, and Nanyang's annexation to the imperial court was also concluded three years ago, and it was for this reason that Liu Yi came to Wancheng, how could he not know the name of Xu Shu.

"I've seen Mr. Yuanzhi." Liu Yi bowed slightly to Xu Shu.

"No need to be polite." Xu Shu looked at the wooden planks on the ground and asked with a smile, "What is this?" ”

"Rubbing." Liu Yi took a rubbing board and handed it to Xu Shu.

Looking at the protruding fonts on it, Xu Shu frowned, how can the words on it be reversed? If it was one or two, it might be a mistake, but all of them Xu Shu looked at Liu Yi with some puzzlement.

"Sir, please look." Liu Yi re-smeared a rubbing board with the newly made ink, then found a piece of paper and pressed it, rolled it with a wooden stick, and after the paper was peeled off, although the handwriting on it was a little blurry, it was probably still recognizable.

"If there is this thing, the content on the bamboo slips can be quickly rubbed out, and now the Marquis of Changling has created a academy in the world, but with a sense of perseverance, the books are limited after all, if there is this thing, it should make everyone a disciple of the academy have a book to read." Liu Yi smiled.

"This thing ......" Xu Shu stared, looked at Liu Yi, and then looked at the rubbing paper in his hand.

Liu Yi immediately explained: "Of course, at the moment, this paper is not enough to rubbing, and I am thinking about ways to improve it, and this ink also needs to be thicker, if it can be made, it can be realized." ”

"Bo Yuan is quite far-sighted!" Xu Shu looked at the words on the paper in his hand, sighed and nodded: "Some people have done rubbing, but they are all rubbing some stone carvings with silk cloth, but no one thinks like Bo Yuan, if this matter can be done, it will be a matter of great benefit to the world!" Bo Yuan is really a genius. ”

"Don't dare, I think about it occasionally, so I try it." Liu Yi shook his head.

"But since Bo Yuan can carve out these rubbings, he thinks he has some knowledge, why not step into the official career, but study this subtle way?" Xu Shu said curiously.

"Craftsmanship doesn't have to be small." Liu Yi shook his head and said solemnly: "Since Dong Zhongshu, Confucianism has been exalted, but what Confucianism says seems to be noble, but what is the benefit to the people?" Ordinary people have no chance of literacy, this craft can help them farm faster, can make the national strength stronger, that is, externally, weapons, armor which will use Confucianism? Hu Kou invaded, and talked about the learning of the sages and the morality of the world, and the other party may not be able to understand. ”

Xu Shu nodded, if you want to say that Confucianism is useless, it is impossible, it is all the life perception of the sages, Chen Mo has always ruled the country by law, but he has never said that Confucianism is useless, but what Liu Yi said is not entirely wrong, Confucianism can govern the country, but to strengthen the country, it is not possible to do it by Confucianism.

It is known as the exclusive respect for Confucianism, but since the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has also governed the country according to law.

Xu Shu looked at Liu Yi, what this person was thinking, there were some places that were quite similar to the lord.

Next, Xu Shu talked with Liu Yi about the current situation a lot, and to his surprise, although Liu Yi is not a talent, but in most things, he has his own unique opinions, such as the rejuvenation of the country, although Xu Shu does not particularly agree, but what Liu Yi said is not completely unreasonable, on the previous battlefield, Ma Ke has proved the power of craftsmen more than once.

After some talking, Xu Shu had a good impression of Liu Yi and had the heart to recommend it to Chen Mo, but this matter is not in a hurry, Liu Yi has a friendship with Lu Bu's daughter, it seems that he should promote this matter, and it can be regarded as completely pulling Liu Yi into his side.

"I heard that Bo Yuan is in love with the daughter of Wen Hou, but is there such a thing?" Xu Shu looked at Liu Yi and asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Liu Yi nodded, he did have a strange affection for Lu Lingqi.

"But with Boyuan's background, there is a huge difference between him and Wen Hou, and it is not unreasonable for Wen Hou to oppose this matter." Xu Shu said with a smile.

The famous craftsman family is still a craftsman, no matter how high your craftsmanship is, the door is far from Lu Bu, not to mention that once Lu Bu returns to the dynasty now, he will inevitably be ranked as the minister, and the status of Lu Bu's daughter is naturally different, just talking about Lu Bu himself, that family is also a family of Jiangmen, and he is from a background.

Liu Yi didn't want to wronged Lu Lingqi, at least he couldn't be too bad in terms of identity.

Liu Yi couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, this is a hard injury, and the gap between the two sides is like a chasm.

"I don't know if Bo Yuan is willing to enter the craftsman's house?" Xu Shu said with a smile: "Although there are many princes in the world, but those who are willing to support craftsmen to enter the court as officials, I am afraid that there is only one master in the world." ”

This is not a fool, although each court has a young mansion, but if you pay attention to it, I am afraid that only Chen Mo really attaches importance to craftsmen, and therefore, the craftsman mansion has gathered many famous craftsmen.

"I have long had this intention, but I hate to enter without a door." Liu Yi didn't know what Xu Shu meant, this was taking a fancy to himself.

"If you want to be worthy of the daughter of Wenhou, then go back to the court with me to see the lord, this thing will be of great use, he may not be able to help Bo Yuan get the official status in the future, as long as the lord can pay attention to it, I can ask the lord to protect the media for you." Xu Shu smiled.

"I wish to follow Mr." Liu Yi said overjoyed.

Xu Shu smiled and nodded, and the next thing was to persuade Lu Bu.

"Impossible!" The next day, Xu Shu came to visit him, and after explaining his intentions, Lu Bu reacted very much, and looked at Xu Shu with unkind eyes, he asked you to solve Liu Yi's problem What does this mean now? Do you want to solve me the other way around?

"Wen Hou Mo wants to be angry!" Xu Shu shook his head and said, "This person is not an ordinary craftsman. ”

"That's still a craftsman." Lu Bu said angrily.

"But this person dares to think what others dare not think, and not only through craftsmanship, but also very good knowledge, he will be able to get the lord and the prince to reuse, not to mention the marquis and the prime minister, but today's Ma Jun's position, the future may not be unobtainable, and when the time comes, it will also be regarded as the minister." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"What does he have to do?" Lu Bu did not believe.

"Only strong, not weak." Xu Shu nodded affirmatively, Liu Yi's craftsman talent is secondary, and the most important thing is that this person's ideas are wild, and he is not bound by secular etiquette, and the things he creates are also quite practical, others are not easy to say, but Xu Shu is sure that Chen Mo will definitely reuse this person.

Lu Bu is still unhappy, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a craftsman.

"Wen Hou doesn't have to worry, this time I return to the court, I am ready to bring Liu Yi back to the court, and then see how the lord breaks off." Xu Shu said with a smile, he couldn't convince Lu Bu, but if Chen Mo came forward, it shouldn't be difficult to convince Lu Bu.

"That's all there is to it." Lu Bu nodded depressedly, he didn't want to do something, and it was useless for Chen Mo to come forward, after all, this is his daughter's lifelong event, not to mention a Liu Yi, even if Chen Mo wants to marry his daughter, then he has to see what his daughter means, but the bad thing is that his daughter seems to like the craftsman very much, who is this reasonable?

"Wen Hou doesn't need to be angry, I think that although Liu Yi is not from a high background, he is indeed a person who can be trusted." Xu Shu smiled: "Besides, the daughter of Wenhou also has intentions, why bother to break up?" ”

"Well, let's wait until we get to Luoyang." Lu Bu nodded depressedly, Chen Mo looked at people, Lu Bu was still trustworthy.
