One thousand one hundred and sixty-four Zuo Bo offers paper
After May of the sixth year of Yande, the official academic guidance of Wei began to be reorganized, and Taixue finally became the highest institution of learning in the true sense of the word.
The widely recognized Doctor of the Five Classics brought his own teaching assistants to Taixue, bringing real scripture education to Taixue.
The children of the scholars returned to Taixue and gathered together with the children of the Hanmen and the children of Li Shu to participate in the study in Taixue.
This was one of the trophies that Guo Peng obtained after winning the Five Classics War.
The large-class education model implemented in Taixue has also been consolidated, although it is not as complete class-based education as the children of the training camp, but the large-class education is also quite good.
The differences within the Pentateuch have been put to an end and will not change again, and all students can choose to study a sutra that interests them, and at the same time participate in other practical education within Taixue.
The doctors in Taixue were also asked to really teach something useful, and not to hide all the good things from teaching, in that case, the emperor would be unhappy if he knew.
This is also one of the goals of the compromise previously agreed between the two sides.
To say that the previous Taixue could only cultivate the talents of a county, now, Taixue may be able to cultivate the talents of a county.
If there are some more talented people, it is not impossible to cultivate talents from a state or even the central government.
Taixue's teaching resources and teacher level have made a qualitative leap.
In short, Taixue has entered the normal operation, returned to the status of the real highest university, and further expanded the number of enrollments, from 3,000 to 6,000, and it seems that there is still the possibility of further expansion.
And at this stall, Guo Peng received a "special" notebook.
On this recital is Qingzhou Thorn Shi Mi Zhu.
Mi Zhu played, saying that Zuo Bo, a master craftsman specializing in papermaking in Qingzhou, had developed a perfect technology that could make paper on a large scale and in large quantities, and could make a large amount of paper at a very low cost, and he was willing to dedicate this technology to His Majesty the Emperor to express his gratitude and loyalty to the Wei Empire.
Guo Peng was "overjoyed" when he heard this, and immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to send someone to Qingzhou to investigate the truth of the matter, and then come back to report it to him.
This matter has attracted the attention of some people.
However, at that time, the scholars' main focus was on academic reorganization, and the reaction to this news was not enthusiastic.
The scholars who had the advantage of family law nervously dredged the relationship between the officials of the Ministry of Rites, thinking of taking advantage of the next filial piety.
The scholars who did not have the advantage of family law were not willing to lose the opportunity to be officials, so they quickly begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother to find a relationship everywhere and tried to change their court.
Those nine family laws have been abandoned by most students.
Except for some die-hards who refuse to accept this reality and still have to hold on to their own family laws and wait for the opportunity to rise again, most people still have ideas.
Originally, there were those who practiced these five family methods at the same time, which was a blessing in misfortune, but those who did not practice these five family methods at the same time were relatively problematic.
It's one thing to change your home, it's another thing to learn again.
But they're also much better than those who have been exiled to the frontier and never returned, and have completely lost their qualifications to be officials.
After all, there is still some hope, as long as there is no trouble, the emperor will not cancel their household registration.
In the sequence of their concerns, the most important thing is the future career, and the others can stand aside for the time being.
Then, at the end of June, officials from the Ministry of Industry came to Luoyang with Zuo Bo and his papermaking technology.
In front of Guo Peng, Guo Peng "showed" his papermaking process, Guo Peng was "overjoyed", and gathered important courtiers in the court to watch his papermaking process and the results brought by the process.
Seeing such a spectacular paper production line, the courtiers were amazed.
Then Zuo Bo knelt in front of Guo Peng in public and asked for this paper-making skill to be dedicated to the imperial court to help the imperial court better handle official business.
"The Chen family has lived in Qingzhou for generations, unfortunately suffered the disaster of the Yellow Turban, the clan was killed, the family property was destroyed, thanks to His Majesty sweeping the Yellow Turban, the Chen family has a day of revival, now the minister is willing to dedicate the papermaking technology to His Majesty, may I Wei prosper!"
Look at what is said.
It's beautiful.
Seeing the inexplicable expressions of many ministers, Guo Penglong's face was happy.
"This move, greatly improve the difficulty of my dynasty to use paper, bamboo slips are too heavy, inportable, paper is light, but expensive, this Northern Expedition, only the military department will use 170,000 pieces of paper, it can be seen that I need a huge amount of paper, Zuo Bo's move, benefit the country and the people, I am very relieved, non-knighthood can not be rewarded!"
Guo Peng named Zuo Bo a third-class earl on the spot, sealed him in his hometown, and gave 300 households to the food estate.
Then he appointed Zuo Bo as a member of the papermaking department of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of papermaking, and there was only one thing that needed to be done - faster, better and more papermaking.
Before the ministers could react, Guo Peng had already smoothly incorporated the paper industry into the official business, and also gave Zuo Bo a knighthood and an official position, so that he was responsible for making a larger amount of paper.
Uncle Zuo was overjoyed, saying that he still had a large amount of paper inventory in Qingzhou, and he was willing to "dedicate" it to the imperial court and "dedicate" it to His Majesty the Emperor to thank His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness.
Guo Peng laughed and agreed.
This big drama ended smoothly and smoothly.
This drama started with Guo Peng's juvenile project, when he was young, he began to write scripts and find actors, and then began to direct, and when he was middle-aged, he began post-production and preparation for release, until he became the emperor, this drama was finally released perfectly, and finally ended.
It's been about the same for 30 years.
After thirty years of hard work, this paper has finally gained a firm foothold, and in the reality that some people want to oppose but don't know how to oppose it, it has completely replaced the bamboo slips.
At noon on the same day, Guo Peng held a banquet in the Huanglong Palace, and invited Uncle Zuo and ten papermakers who came to the capital with Uncle Zuo, and gave them generous rewards.
In the afternoon, Guo Peng issued a holy decree to the cabinet, so that the cabinet monk Shangtai docked, and made this holy decree public.
The content is also very simple, that is, from now on, the status of bamboo slips in the official correspondence between the DPRK and China will be abolished, and the paper will be completely changed, and strive to be lighter, more portable and less costly.
The move was first welcomed by the Ministry of Finance.
Wang Cang, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, congratulated Guo Peng, saying that this paper-making method can save the imperial court a lot of expenses for purchasing paper and manufacturing bamboo slips every year, and the official expenditure of the imperial court can be greatly reduced and turned into a financial surplus.
Then this matter quickly spread throughout the imperial court, the whole Luoyang, and spread to the world.
This is the end of the history of using bamboo script to record events, and the era of using paper has arrived.
Many people have just woken up from a dream and realized the significance of this matter.
All in all, because of the breakthrough in paper technology, the cost of papermaking has become extremely low, and bamboo slips have no competitiveness in the face of paper that is so cheap and particularly comfortable to use, and it has been decisively eliminated.
The departments responsible for the manufacture of bamboo slips in the DPRK and Central China were all closed, and then completely merged into the paper department, accepted the leadership of Zuo Bo, and began to learn papermaking in an all-round way.
Since then, the cost of writing has been greatly reduced, and the retention rate of written works will be greatly increased.
Some people see such a future and have some worries, fearing that the emergence and popularization of paper will reduce the cost of literacy learning, make more people literate, and thus reduce the competitiveness of readers.
But most people don't see such a future.
They only saw the convenience and cheapness of paper, and the writing was very comfortable, far exceeding the experience of using bamboo slips, so they naturally abandoned bamboo slips.
Of course, it is not without people who are very resentful of the improvement of paper technology.
Those who had been engaged in the manufacture of bamboo slips were very resentful of this.
But it was useless, under the tide of history, they could not influence the decision-making of the imperial court at all.
This part of the income and the scholars and Haoqiang families controlled behind it must cut off this part of the income and eat the bitter fruit.
At the beginning of June of the sixth year of Yande, in order to express his joy at getting papermaking, Guo Peng decided to personally lead his ministers to worship the Luoyang Confucian Temple.
He wanted to present paper to the sages of the past who were enshrined in the Temple of Literature, telling them that a new cultural carrier had appeared on the stage of history and became the protagonist of history.
