"Before you accept the punishment, the grandson has something he wants to show you!" Saying that, Cao Shuang took out a book from his arms, and the word Spring and Autumn was written on the cover.

At first, Cao Cao thought it was just an ordinary pamphlet, and it might be the crime of some courtiers that Cao Shuang had collected. But when he saw the words Spring and Autumn on the cover of the book, he was shocked. Cao Cao picked up the book, flipped through the contents of the book, and then walked over to a pile of books. I saw Cao Cao holding a book in one hand and checking the contents on the bamboo slips with the other. After a long time, Cao Cao put down the book and asked, "This is a hand-copied copy?" ”

Cao Shuang shook his head and replied firmly, "This is printed, and it can be printed in large quantities." ”

"How?" Cao Cao was obviously shocked by Cao Shuang's words.

"Block printing." Cao Shuang danced and talked for more than half an hour before he explained the engraving printing clearly. In this half an hour, Cao Shuang answered all Cao Cao's questions.

Cao Cao looked at the printed book and fell into deep thought. He knew that once books could be produced in large quantities, it would definitely be a big shock to the family. He also knew that once it was implemented, it would inevitably exacerbate the conflict between the ruler and the family that had just settled.

The study, which was only for two people, became extremely silent. The sound of the two of them breathing can be heard clearly. After a long time, Cao Cao asked again, "Do you know the consequences of this matter?" ”

"The grandson knows the consequences, so he came to ask his grandfather." Cao Shuang said lightly, but his tone was full of firmness.

The index finger rhythmically tapped on the table, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth turned up slightly, and he stroked the beard under his chin, "Lone can help you promote this paper book, but there is one thing you must promise Lone." ”

"Dare to disobey!" Cao Shuang arched his hand, crisp and neat. As long as the paper book can be promoted, he can agree to any conditions. The promotion of paper books will not only bring huge economic income, but also play a great role in promoting cultural dissemination.

"The printing of books must be controlled by the imperial court, and the books you print must be reviewed by the imperial court before they can be put into circulation. And you must pay taxes to the imperial court, and you must follow the steps of the imperial court. Cao Cao took two sips of tea and opened the conditions.

It turned out that the imperial court had the right to speak about books, so that the ruler could control the world's readers from the source. You can read books, but they must be good for domination. Read well, read good books. Although Cao Cao didn't know the audit system of later generations, he also figured out the stakes, and Cao Shuang admired Cao Cao even more in his heart.

Cao Cao's conditions, Cao Shuang gladly accepted, and added a condition, that is, to help Cao Cao print his military book "Mengde's New Book".

Listening to Cao Shuang's increased conditions, Cao Cao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, but then he changed his face, threw the bamboo slip in his hand fiercely, and scolded loudly with his throat, "Is there still loneliness in your eyes, someone will drag Cao Shuang out and scold him for forty." If it weren't for the understanding that you are for the sake of the court, Gu would have taken your head a long time ago. Cao Cao's voice was so loud that he was afraid that the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would not hear it.

Cao Shuang, who was a little surprised, was relieved then. Zhang Song's matter has a great impact and is very bad, no matter what, you have to block the mouth of every day.

Then a tiger guard pulled Cao Shuang down, and at the execution office, the two executed tiger guards smiled and said, "Childe, how offended." ”

The chief guard of the prison smiled slightly, and nodded at Cao Shuang, which could be regarded as making amends.

I saw the two tiger guards pick up the wooden staff high, fall down fiercely, and hit Cao Shuang's buttocks, the whirring sound of breaking the wind makes people listen to a little sour. Cao Shuang lay on the blanket and screamed loudly. After the beating, the prison guard accepted the results of the two with a straight face, and took out a bag of things from his arms and pressed it on Cao Shuang's buttocks, and bright red blood flowed out of Cao Shuang's buttocks. Cao Shuang secretly shouted in his heart, 666, the road that you can't finish in this life is your routine.

Cao Shuang was dragged to the carriage by the tiger guard, and seeing Cao Shuang's bloody buttocks, Li Cong was a little overwhelmed, but he still drove the carriage back to Cao's mansion. The news of Cao Shuang's reprimanding soon reached the ears of some well-intentioned people, and the Zhang Song incident was slowly forgotten by people over time.

In the end, Cao Shuang alone bore all the blame, and was punished with forty rods, and then was confined to his home and not allowed to go out. Although the son was punished for messing around, this did not affect his father's promotion at all, and in the same month, Cao Zhen was promoted again for his military exploits and was richly rewarded by Cao Cao.

Cao Shuang was put into his bed, and as soon as the door was closed, Cao Shuang, who was still dying just now, sat on the bed vigorously at this moment.

"Childe, are you okay?" Li Cong looked at Cao Shuang incredulously, and his eyes glanced at Cao Shuang's ass from time to time.

"That's how you want me to be okay?" Cao Shuang found a sweat towel and wiped the blood on his hands, "You go find clean clothes, I'll change this." ”

After changing into new clothes, Cao Shuang leaned on the bed and looked through the things sent by Nameless. Nameless sent a few pieces of cowhide rolls, and Cao Shuang pieced together the cowhide according to the pattern on the bed. For Cao Shuang, who often plays puzzles, this can't stop him at all, and Nameless is very caring, and he has already marked the order on the cowhide.

After the patchwork was completed, the cowhide showed a map, and on one side of the map was written "Xishu topographic map" several big characters, which turned out to be a copy of the Xishu topographic map brought by Zhang Song. On the same day, Cao Shuang clashed with Zhang Song and his party, attracting the attention of everyone in the inn. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nameless and several night spies found it in Zhang Song's room, in order not to arouse Zhang Song's suspicion, Nameless and others copied the topographic map of Xishu on the cowhide on the spot.

Originally, Zhang Song had come to negotiate an alliance with Cao Cao, and the topographic map of Xishu was a greeting gift, but the matter was disturbed by the Assassins. Cao Shuang had to make a strategy to get rid of Zhang Song to resolve the internal crisis. How could Cao Shuang let Zhang Song go casually, so he arranged such a play. Cao Shuang asked Xu Nu to sew the cowhide together, and then store the cowhide, he knew that he might be able to use it when he entered Shu in the future.

Cao Shuang's mother, who went out to return home, learned that Cao Shuang was beaten bloody, and hurried to Cao Shuang's courtyard. Seeing that Cao Shuang was fine, Zhang's relieved heart. Then the housekeeper of Cao Mansion went to the Chinese medicine shop in the city to buy a lot of medicine for the treatment of stick wounds, which was requested by Cao Shuang, after all, he had to do a full set of plays. After Cao Zhen knew about this, his expression was very solemn, and then he ordered the whole house to keep silent, if anyone went out to talk nonsense, he would not be forgiven.
