Zhou Yujian raised his eyebrows slightly. "It's almost ready, but it's not everything."

"Oh?"

"There is still a long history left, I don't know if Gongda is willing to give in?"

Xun You's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he groaned for a while. "Aren't generals afraid of taboos when they use me for a long history? My Xun family is a member of the party, I am from my uncle Xun Youruo in Jizhou, Xun Wenruo is in Chang'an, Xun Zhongyu lives in seclusion in the township, but he refuses to go out. ”

Zhou Yu didn't say a word, just looked at Xun Yu quietly, with a warm smile on his face.

Xun You paused, and then said, "Actually...... I want to go to Yizhou. ”

"Then I can't let you go." Zhou Yu laughed and reached out to hold Xun Yu's arm. "After taking Jingzhou, I will take Yizhou, let you go, wouldn't it be a strong enemy for yourself? Xun Gongda, since you have been seen by me, accept your fate. I don't dare to wronged you for too long, as soon as the Jingzhou war is over, I will recommend you to General Sun. ”

Xun You also smiled and nodded. "Okay, then I'll be here for a few days. When I get tired of seeing each other, it's never too late for me to leave. ”

"It's a deal." Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to invite. "Xun Changshi, please."

"General, please."

Back in the city, Zhou Yu settled the soldiers and returned to the camp, and he led Yin Duan and the teenagers from the martial arts hall home. Someone had been arranged to come back to inform Cai Yan before, and Cai Yan had prepared a banquet and stood at the door to greet Yin Duan in person. When Wei Yan and the others saw Cai Yan, they immediately surrounded him, Mr. and Mr. kept shouting, happy like a bird, Cai Yan responded one by one, and said a few words to the other teenagers. When she saw Xun You, she was a little surprised, but her eyes only flashed, and then she returned to normal, and she saluted politely to welcome Xun You's arrival.

Because of Xun You's unexpected visit, Cai Yan made a little adjustment and sent someone to the county school to invite Hu Zhao. Xun You is grateful for Cai Yan's thoughtfulness. When he returned to Nanyang, he was relieved. When he returned to Wancheng, he was at ease. Seeing Hu Zhao again, he felt like he was back home.

It didn't take long for Hu Zhao to arrive, and as soon as he saw Xun You, he took Xun You's hand and said, "Gongda, you should have come a long time ago." Looking at the world, where can it be more stable than Nanyang now? It's good to come, it's good to come, just move your home too, and don't leave in the future. By the way, where is Zhongyu now, let him come to Nanyang too, we are going to make a big book now, and there is a shortage of manpower. ”

"What do you want to do?"

Hu Zhao was full of interest and pulled Xun You towards the west courtyard. "Mr. Cai, borrow your study."

Cai Yan smiled and nodded. "Sir for his own use. I still have guests here, so I won't greet you. ”

"It's okay, it's not my first time here."

Xun You was taken aback and looked at Hu Zhao suspiciously. "How often do you come to Mr. Cai's study?"

Hu Zhao walked forward, glanced back at Xun You, and laughed "sneer": "Look at you, you have also lived in Wancheng for a few months, why do you still have so many old ideas." Is Mr. Chua an ordinary woman? Her knowledge is so good that even many men with bearded eyebrows can't match it. She opened a lecture hall at home to teach adult women, and when we had any problems that we couldn't solve, we often came to her for advice. ”

Saying that, the two entered the west courtyard, in front of them was a very simple courtyard, there were a lot of cases in the corridors around, and a few young women were reading books, and they were not surprised to see Hu Zhao and Xun You coming in, but they just bowed Hu Zhao to give a salute.

Hu Zhao went to the hall, pointed to the bookshelves full of slips, and said with a smile: "See, these are the only ancient books collected by Cai Bojiao, there are nearly a thousand volumes, and they can be copied casually, but they can't be taken out of this courtyard." ”

Xun You was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word. On top of the spacious lecture hall, there are bookshelves on three walls, which are filled with simple slips made of green sacs, each of which is hung with bone picks, and the title of the book is written in a silk script, and the whole hall exudes a faint fragrance of ink.

Hu Zhao took Xun You to a small room next to him, the walls of the small room were also full of bookshelves, and there was a large bookcase in the middle, surrounded by bamboo mats and cushions. On the desk there were pen, ink, paper, inkstones, mortar knives, and some writing paper, on which the handwriting was messy, and it seemed to be a draft. Hu Zhao sat down on the desk, took a look at the probe, and pushed the papers in front of Xun You.

"What is this?" Xun You took the paper, but he couldn't understand it, and he almost didn't know any of the words on it.

"We copied the words on an ancient tablet, guess what?"

Xun You shook his head. He had read books, but he did not know ancient Chinese.

"The ancient book "Yi"." Hu Zhao said with a smile: "There are many differences from this "Yi", and it is still being interpreted, and when all of them are interpreted, it is estimated that half of everyone who studies "Yi" will hit the wall." Your Xun family has an easy number, and after Xun Ciming passed away, that is, Xun Zhongyu can be regarded as a seed of reading. Such a big event, he didn't come? ”

Xun You didn't say a word, he slowly put down the paper in his hand and was silent for a moment. "This is the big book you are talking about?"

"It's not. The big book I'm talking about is to check the Chu family in the historical records with the ancient monuments found, and if possible, maybe write a separate history of Chu. ”

Xun You was stunned. "General Zhou is about to march south, and Cai Bojiao is preparing to write history, can you afford to write such a big book at this time?"

"It's true that I'm a little nervous, but General Zhou is very supportive of our affairs, and he decided to allocate 500 gold a year as expenses for ten years."

"Five hundred gold is not enough, there are so many of you."

Hu Zhaoyang raised his hand. "The number of us is not particularly large, that is, seven or eight people, all of whom are scholars who want to do some learning, and they can ensure food and clothing, and they don't need too much expenses, and the main expenses are paper, pen and ink. Fortunately, the Nanyang paper mill is very smooth, and it will be cheaper and cheaper in the future. By the way, I heard that Jizhou has also opened a lot of paper mills, Gongda, did you propose it? ”

When he met Xun You, Hu Zhao's mood had always been very good, but when he talked about it, his face was clouded and he was very unhappy. "Jizhou people imitate Nanyang's carriage and Nanyang's paper mill, that's it, why do you send people to steal technology? In the past two months, eight out of ten paper mills have caught fine work and injured people, this is what Yuan Shao of the fourth world and the third prince did? ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xun You was also taken aback. He knew that Yuan Shao built a paper mill in Jizhou, but the quality of the paper produced in Jizhou was not as good as Nanyang paper, and the cost was also high, and the price could not be reduced. Because it was Yuan Shao's subordinates who opened the paper mill, Yuan Shao forced all counties in Jizhou to use Jizhou paper, which caused a lot of opposition, and some counties used Jizhou paper when writing official documents to Yuan Shao, and Nanyang paper when writing other official documents, and the business of the paper mill has not been very good. Now he actually came to Nanyang to steal technology?

Seeing that Xun Yu didn't seem to be a fake, Hu Zhao didn't ask again, but sneered twice. "Hehe, in my opinion, the head of the Yuan family in Ruyang will have to return to the Yuan Highway sooner or later."

Xun You's heart was inexplicably cold, and then he was faintly happy.
