Chapter Seventy-Nine: Flourish!
In the main hall, when Lu Bu took out a stack of white paper and a book of "Analects" printed by movable type printing, let Bing Yuan and Guoyuan, including Guan Ning and Wang Lie, who were indifferent, see that they were immediately not calm!
They hurriedly reached out and picked up the white paper that Lu Bu took out and the book of the Analects printed by movable type printing, which made them love it, as if it were a sacred object.
In particular, they were surprised to find that the handwriting in the book was very clear, and each word was the same size, not scribbled, and easy to understand, so that they only felt very pleasing to the eye when reading it!
The four of them flipped through the Analects, and found that there was not a single typo in the words inside, and the two identical words were still the same size, as if they had been copied, making them look like they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, was this transcribed by manpower?!
They couldn't believe what they were seeing!
If so, the man who copied this book is too divine! They really want to know that there are such God-men in the world right away.
"Wen Hou, this ......" Guan Ning, who was in an indifferent mood, was not indifferent at this time, and looked at Lu Bu, curious.
"Hahaha...... Mr. You'an, and all gentlemen, what do you think of this book and this paper? Seeing the appearance of Guan Ning and Wang Lie, who were indifferent, Lu Bu suddenly felt that there was a drama under his own account to recruit them.
"This is a divine book, a divine paper, which can be described as the first book in the world and the first paper in the world! I wonder who copied Wen Hou's book? Who improved this paper on the basis of Cai Hou paper? Wang Lie on the side was suddenly amazed, and he desperately wanted to know the origin of these two divine objects.
Although they were indifferent, they were scribes and people who loved to learn, and they were naturally excited and loved when they saw the neatly written book "Analects" and a large stack of white flowers.
"Hahaha...... According to Mr. Ji's words, this book and this paper will be called the first book in the world and the first paper in the world in the future! And sir, this book was not copied by anyone, but Ben Hou and some craftsmen under his account told them the principle of making movable type printing, let them study it, and then use movable type printing to print it; And these white flowers of paper are also made by the craftsmen under Ben Hou's account to improve Cai Hou's paper according to Ben Hou's words! In order to be able to subdue Guan Ning and Wang Lie and increase the chances, Lu Bu didn't mind being cheeky and putting gold on his face at this time.
Anyway, these things were only studied in later generations, and no one knew about them, and there was no trace of them, and no one would know that it was Lu Bu's shameless imitation!
"Wen Hou is really a god!" Hearing what Lu Bu said, all of a sudden, Bing Yuan, Guo Yuan, Guan Ning, and Wang Lie were surprised, and they were surprised that Lu Bu, who had a bad reputation in the eyes of the world, could not only be literary and martial, but now, he could also invent movable type printing and improve Caihou paper!
Doing what many people can't!
If those people who are above the top and look down on Lu Bu know that Lu Bu can do this, I wonder if they will feel ashamed? Then, want to commit suicide to apologize to him?
More importantly, now that Lu Bu has 'invented' movable type printing and improved Caihou paper, it can be said that it is the luck of these readers that they can be helped by movable type printing to print a book with neat handwriting but different contents like the Analects and to create improved Caihou paper, and let them flow!
However, they thought it was unlikely, after all, these two divine objects must be extremely expensive, and only a prince like Lu Bu who owned the land of the four counties could use such a thing!
"I don't know Wen Hou, how much do these two artifacts cost? Can it be mass-produced? Guan Ning, who didn't give up, couldn't help but ask Lu Bu hopefully.
"Haha...... Mr. You'an, these two are not a fetish, and the cost is not expensive! As long as there are enough materials and labor, Ben Hou can have as much as he wants! For Guan Ning's question, Lu Bu suddenly laughed.
As for the materials used to make paper, they are very ordinary, just some trees or bamboo, reeds and the like, which can be found everywhere in the mountains and wastelands, and they don't need money, just pay for manual collection.
As for compiling books, it is only necessary to have the craftsmen make the tools of movable type printing, and then take the paper used for printing, and then bind it into a book, which is ten times easier than making paper!
What Lu Bu said surprised Guan Ning and Bing Yuan even more, if this is the case, as long as Lu Bu makes a large number of blank papers and books, and then distributes them to the people under his rule, and lets the people under his rule use and study, then Lu Bu's four counties in Liaodong will not soon become a literary holy place like Yingchuan and Jingxiang!
Guan Ning and Bing Yuan knew that with Lu Bu's reputation, it was impossible for too many scribes to come and take refuge, so they had to find another way out.
Now, Lu Bu has improved Cai Hou's paper and made up books that can be mass-produced, isn't this Lu Bu's ambition?
After the people under Lu Bu's rule have enough books for them to study, and then send some people with a little knowledge to teach them in various counties and counties, I believe that it will not be long before a large number of people who can read and hyphenate will gush out for Lu Bu's use!
Although it is impossible for talents like Chen Gong and Li Ru to appear all at once, this is also a beginning!
What's more, these people who can read and hyphenate are more than enough to go to the counties and counties to be small officials who don't need much knowledge!
With these books and papers that can be mass-produced, it can also promote the sinicization of foreign races such as the Sanhan or Goguryeo people in the four counties of Lübu.
I believe that in a few years, these Sanhan people and Goguryeo people will be no different from Han people!
Their descendants can also start learning Chinese and Han Chinese from a young age!
If this is the case, Lu Bu's four counties in Liaodong should be prosperous, even if Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth dynasty of Hebei, and Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains to make the princes majestic, would not be able to help Lu Bu's power when the time comes! Not to mention those forces that are far weaker than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!
Lu Bu has a lot of talents to work for him and stabilize the rear for him, and when the time comes, Lu Bu will lead his brave infantry and navy, and maybe they may be wiped out by Lu Bu!
Thinking of this, Bing Yuan and Guo Yuan, who had already surrendered to Lu Bu, were excited, and they only felt that they were loyal to the object of their allegiance.
As for Guan Ning and Wang Lie, who are indifferent, if it weren't for the fact that they really didn't want to be officials, and they had to deal with all kinds of deceit around them after becoming officials, they even had an impulse now, that is, to surrender to Lu Bu and see how far Lu Bu could go!
But, it's impossible!
They really don't want to be officials, they only want to be a hermit in their lives, and they will take their own children and nephews, and by the way, they will accept a few qualified disciples to train them to become talents, if so, they will have a very happy life, and they can die without regrets!
