News came back from Yecheng that Tongque Terrace had been built. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Cao Cao took a group of people to Yecheng, Jia Xu stayed in Xuchang on the grounds of physical discomfort, Xun Yu did not go with him for the same reason, obviously the matter of the fifth-class title has made the gap between Xun Yu and Cao Cao bigger. Originally, Cao Shuang could go, but Cao Shuang met someone and stayed in Xuchang on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Sitting in the carriage, Cao Cao saw that Jia Xu and Cao Shuang were both staying in Xuchang on the grounds that they were unwell, threw the notebook aside, and said with a smile, "I've been with Jia Xu for a long time, and I've become so cunning." Continuing to flip through the notebook, seeing that Xun Yu was also staying in Xuchang on the grounds of physical discomfort, Cao Cao's face was blue and very gloomy, "Wen Ruo, can't we really go back?" ”

"Childe, this is the address that Jia Wangongzi said." In front of a private house in Xuchang, Li Cong helped Cao Shuang get out of the carriage.

Cao Shuang stood at the door of the house, his mouth full of admiration, "It's good to be rich, just this idle house is so luxurious." Li Cong listened to Cao Shuang's words, covered his mouth and only smiled, there are several houses like Jia Wan in the city. Compared with Jia Xu, who is cautious everywhere, Jia Wan is not a little worse than his old man, especially after doing a blank paper business.

"Call the door!" Cao Shuang straightened his clothes and told Li Cong to knock on the door.

"Squeak-" The door opened a crack and a head poked out of it, "Who are you looking for?" "This person is the housekeeper that Jia Wan stayed here to take care of, only in his twenties, very young.

After following Cao Shuang for a long time, Li Cong was also very polite, "This is our son-in-law, who has an appointment with your master Jia Wan and came to meet Mr. Lu Ling." ”

The housekeeper walked out from behind the door and saluted Cao Shuang, "I don't know if the son is Cao Shuang and Cao Gongzi?" ”

Cao Shuang smiled and was noncommittal.

The housekeeper opened all the doors and invited Cao Shuang in, "The villain is the housekeeper Jia Yu, my master has already ordered that you will come over." ”

As Jia Yu walked all the way, this was a big mansion with three entrances and three exits. The flowers and plants in the yard are well trimmed, and everything is in order, which shows that Jia Yu can sit as a housekeeper at a young age, which is no accident.

In the lobby of the house, Cao Shuang saw a young man sitting on a seat very casually, holding a carpenter's tool in his hand, pounding a piece of wood. The young man has a dignified appearance, clear eyebrows, but his left hand is missing his index finger, and this person is Lu Ling, who Jia Wan brought back from Jiangdong. Jia Wan is full of praise for this Lu Ling, and they have all stepped out of the flowers, what a miracle, what a reincarnation of Lu Ban. Cao Shuang once told Jia Wan that he wanted to find some skilled craftsmen, so Jia Wan introduced Lu Ling to Cao Shuang. This is also the reason why Cao Shuang did not go to Yecheng Tongquetai and stayed in Xuchang, which is related to Cao Shuang's plan to promote the progress of human civilization (in fact, to make a fortune).

The wood in Lu Ling's hand has become a wooden bird at this moment, put the wooden bird's on the table, Lu Ling inserted something similar to a key into the wooden bird's stomach and turned around a few times, the wooden bird's stomach made a creaking sound, and the wooden bird jumped up on the table. Jia Yu's face was very calm, obviously commonplace. Cao Shuang and Li Cong were different, and they were both very surprised. Li Cong dragged Cao Shuang, "Childe, this can't be witchcraft." Cao Shuang smiled, he was surprised not because he thought it was witchcraft, but because he admired that someone knew how to drive the power of a gear to drive the wooden bird to act.

"When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name." Cao Shuang walked into the lobby and interrupted Lu Ling.

Lu Ling put away the wooden bird and saluted towards Cao Shuang, "Presumably you are Cao Shuang and Cao Gongzi, right?" ”

"You're welcome, sir." Cao Shuang stepped forward to help Lu Ling, and found a seat to sit down.

"Sir, see if it's possible for me to make this thing." Cao Shuang didn't say too many polite words, but handed Lu Ling what he had written straightforwardly.

As a result, Cao Shuang's paper saw that the writing and pen on it were different, but they were coordinated. This is Zhong Xuan's Xiaokai taught to Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang did not disappoint Zhong Xuan, and he also achieved a little success by practicing hard day and night, and when he went to Chang'an a few days ago, Zhong Xuan praised him.

Lu Ling looked at the content on the paper, his face changed impermanently, and his fingers kept pinching. What really attracted Lu Ling was not Cao Shuang's words, but the content on the paper, Cao Shuang pondered hard last night and sorted out some of the contents of engraving and printing, in order to get out of engraving and printing, and mass produce books, so as to promote the progress of human civilization and make a lot of money. Before the invention of printing, books were copied by hand, which was time-consuming and laborious, which greatly limited the dissemination of cultural knowledge. It is precisely because of the lack of books that the family has the right to speak, and if the books are produced in large quantities, it will be a big impact on the family.

"Childe came up with all this?" Lu Ling's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her eyes were filled with admiration.

Cao Shuang smiled slightly and picked up a jade seal, "I also got inspiration from this seal." ”

"If you believe Lu Ling, ten days later, you can let Gongzi see this book printed by engraving." Lu Ling put down the paper in his hand and knelt down towards Cao Shuang, his face was full of longing, Cao Shuang's engraving printing had successfully aroused Lu Ling's curiosity.

"This is naturally good, ten days later, I will come to see your results." Cao Shuang got up and left, Jia Yu hurriedly went to send it, but Lu Ling didn't get up and picked up the engraving and printing that Cao Shuang copied to watch carefully.

Walking to the gate, Cao Shuang arched his hand towards Jia Yu, and Jia Yu knelt down in fright. Cao Shuang helped Jia Yu up, "Lu Ling needs anything these days, please buy it for him, and I'll ask someone to send you money later." ”

Jia Wan saluted to Cao Shuang, "Childe is polite, my master has already ordered it, Childe can rest assured." ”

Yecheng, because of Cao Zhi's outstanding literary talent, many people came here. Cao Zhi's residence was full of people, including many court officials. Cao Zhi is also a good drinker and hospitable, drunk every day, compared to Cao Pilai, Cao Zhi is now the hottest candidate for heir.

At the Tongquetai banquet, in the military attache competition, Cao Zhang performed very well and was rewarded by Cao Cao, who bluntly said that he wanted to be a general who galloped on the battlefield. Civil officials presented poems at the banquet, mostly to praise Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was also very useful. Cao Pi and Cao Zhi also wrote articles, Cao Pi's articles are very simple and decent, and they are much worse than Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi's article was gorgeous, and his writing impressed everyone, and Cao Cao praised Cao Zhi in public. Some officials and the public patted Cao Zhi's ass, Cao Zhi did not have any expression on his face, and everyone silently remembered it in their hearts.

After the banquet, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi met for three days to hunt together in the woods north of Yecheng City, and Cao Zhi gladly accepted.
