It is said that Lu Ren has set up an academy...... Let's say it's an academy, but the actual situation is really a bit miserable. There are only three teachers, namely Zheng Xuan, Chen Gong, and Shi A, and the old man Zheng Xuan and Zheng are just a name. In other words, Mr. Zheng Xuanzheng is the honorary president of this college, and the only ones who really teach students are Chen Gong and Shi A.

But it's not a problem, Lu Ren has been playing in internal affairs for so many years, how can he not know that this kind of thing can't be done overnight? Although the current academy only has Chen Gong's Art of War Department and Shi A's Swordsmanship Department, when the corresponding conditions are mature one by one, Lu Ren will naturally add other departments one by one.

Last time, Lu Ren had already summoned a group of people like Ling Yuan, and these people were the first batch of students of the Academy's Art of War Department. And if these people want, they can also go to learn swordsmanship from Shi A; In turn, Shi A wanted to select some good seedlings, so Lu Ren helped Shi A post an enrollment advertisement in the small town of Yizhou, and Lu Ren didn't care how many he could call......

In a blink of an eye, it came to the middle of May of the eleventh year of Jian'an. Xiao Luqin was already full moon at this time, and Lu Ren and his family had finished this year's Dragon Boat Festival, so they had to hurry up and go to Jingzhou again. Lu Ren knew very well that with the next situation, this was likely to be his last trip to Jingzhou, at least in the past of swaggering on the surface. As soon as the time entered the period of Cao Cao's southern expedition, he could no longer come over like this.

The fleet stopped for a while when it passed through Wu County, and in addition to turning the goods, Lu Ren also went to visit Sun Quan, Wu Guomu and Sun Shangxiang. No way, we met officially last time, and now I can't say hello when I pass by. By the way, Lu Ren sent a few sets of the full volume of "Easy Sword Immortal Record" printed in Yizhou to Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang...... However, it must be made clear that this is not Lu Ren showing off, but Lu Ren is using this matter to advertise the book industry in Yizhou.

"Easy Sword Immortal Record" has spread widely in Yizhou, and there are often people here in Wu County who will tell this story in the teahouse restaurant, but because the story pirated by Lu Ren at the beginning was incomplete. If you make up again, many places have changed their taste. However, for Lu Ren, it is just the right time to sell the newly printed books to Wu Jun.

I won't talk about the rest, that's it anyway. Seeing that it was almost the same, Lu Ren boarded the ship and set sail for Jingzhou. After coming to Jingzhou, Lu Ren first dealt with some related chores, and then took some people straight to Liu Biao's mansion in Xiangyang City.

As soon as he arrived at Liu Biao's mansion, Lu Ren asked the doorman to go in to report, and the accompanying carriage and horse rushed into the courtyard through the side door. Seeing Liu Biao, Lu Ren said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou is not harmed!" Lu Rente came to visit! ”

Liu Biao's face kung fu for Lu Ren was still quite in place, and he greeted him with a smile: "Lu Servant is here." Liu Biao is very lucky! But I don't know what Lu Servant is doing here? ”

Lu Ren said: "It's not a secret, Lu Ren brought some things to invite Jingzhou to see." ”

Liu Biao was stunned, Lu Ren said that he was here to give gifts? Speaking of which, Lu Ren also sent a lot of things, but in addition to the wine, it was some paper, Liu Biao was a little numb, and said with a smile: "There is Lao Lu to shoot and bother.!" ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "What I sent this time is not wine and paper, but another thing that Lu Ren has newly made, I believe Jingzhou will be very interested, please follow me to the courtyard to have a look." ”

Liu Biaoxin said: "What is it?" This Lu Ren is really good at messing around! ”

I have the heart to go, but I can't pull it down after all. I had to come to the courtyard with Lu Ren. Look at Lu Ren in a carriage to open the box, take out a book and hand it to Liu Biao and say, "Please Liu Jingzhou to take a look." ”

Liu Biao Zaleng, there have been cases of paper binding books before, but because of the problems of paper, it is not practical. So it is not uncommon for Lu Ren to bind high-quality paper into a book at this time, and Liu Biao himself has thought about doing so. But when I looked at the title of the book, Liu Biao opened his mouth wide in shock:

"Jingsheng Anthology!? Lu Servant shot, this ......"

Lu Ren said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou, please take out a few more copies and take a look." ”

Liu Biao took out a few more copies according to his words, and was completely stunned.

Lu Ren first bowed to Liu Biaoshen and said, "Lu Rensu admires Jingzhou Wencai. Therefore, I had asked the eldest prince to copy the article written by Jingzhou and forward it to me. After a closer look, he felt that these articles should be circulated in the world, so he took the liberty of compiling these articles into a volume and printing them with the new method of "printing" created by Lu Ren. A total of 2,000 volumes. Because he had not received Liu Jingzhou's permission, he did not dare to spread it easily, so all of them were sent here by Jingzhou on its own. ”

This is half nonsense, and the other half is true, like the collection of Liu Biao's articles, it was indeed Lu Ren who asked Liu Qi to deliberately collect it, and then asked Mi Zhen to bring it back to Yizhou. Of course, Lu Ren did this to curry favor with Liu Biao, after all, whether he did something in Cao Cao or Sun Quan before, it was likely to anger Liu Biao, so if he didn't show it to Liu Biao this time and prove that he was just talking about business with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the trick would cause trouble. As for printing 2,000 copies of the "Jingsheng Anthology", it is not a matter at all for the current Yizhou printing workshop. Do you know how much "Easy Sword Immortal Record" was printed? 20,000 sets, and each set is five, for a total of 100,000 copies!

At this time, Liu Biao said dumbfoundedly: "Two thousand copies? Are you saying that these two thousand copies are all identical? ”

Lu Ren said: "Exactly." ”

Liu Biao's head was already dizzy at this time. At that time, how much labor and material resources did it take to copy 2,000 identical books? In fact, the popularization of printing in the real sense was a matter of the Song Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was not very good in this regard, let alone the late Han Dynasty.

As a great literati, Liu Biao doesn't know how many times he wanted to circulate his proud works, but he couldn't do so because of the lack of communication media. Now that Lu Ren suddenly gave him such a sudden, he was indescribably excited. Lu Ren slapped him a few words of ass just right, which made Liu Biao dizzy and dizzy. After a few words of self-humility, Liu Biao immediately expressed his willingness to pay Lu Ren with the corresponding labor, and Lu Ren smiled and said that only half of it would be accepted.

Lu Ren left Liu Biao's mansion with a smile, knowing that he had a drama to sing.

"According to Liu Biao's temper, he will definitely give away these two thousand books immediately, and at that time he was giving me a free advertisement. There are so many literati and writers in Jingzhou, who doesn't want to make their great deeds known? It's one of the fastest ways they can make a name for themselves. I believe that Liu Biao will tell me that these books were printed by me, and many people will come to me to place orders at that time......

"After all, now I am the sole master of the two technologies of high-quality paper and movable type printing, and the wealth is rolling! Even if someone steals the school, in my opinion, they may not be able to complete it without relevant technical prerequisites, and in the past few years, people in Jingxiang will also recognize my Lu family.

"Besides, my main purpose in printing is not to make money, but to expand the influence of culture, and indirectly improve the overall education level of the people, so that the children of poor families can afford to buy books later...... There's still a long way to go! ”

After making plans, Lu Ren returned to the village with three fully loaded carriages. Why is it full when it comes and full when it goes? The car was full of money and gifts from Liu Biao.

But as soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren remembered a conversation with Cai Yan when he was still in Yizhou before......

――――――――――――――――――――

"Wen Ji, has your body recovered now?"

Cai Yan almost gained weight after sitting for a full moon, and was breastfeeding Xiao Luqin at this time, when he heard him ask and looked up, "What do you say?" ”

Lu Ren looked at the lines of Cai Yan's body and smiled: "You used to be thin Yan, but now you have become a ring fat." ”

Cai Yan said angrily: "Why do you think I'm fat...... Alas, Yan Skinny Ring Fat? What is the language? ”

Lu Ren stretched out his hand and slapped himself, and said in his heart: "Too proud!" Huan Fei Yan thin is still a word that came out after the Tang and Song dynasties! ”

Of course, Cai Yan didn't know that Lu Ren beat himself because he leaked his mouth, and thought that he was making amends to himself, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you don't have to punish yourself like this." You must have asked me for something to help you with such a grin, right? ”

Lu Ren smiled and sat down beside Cai Yan, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lu Qin's little face and said, "Wen Ji, I really want to ask you to do me a big favor." ”

Cai Yan said: "Just say it." ”

Lu Ren asked, "Wen Ji, how many words do you think there are today?" ”

Cai Yan was stunned for a long time before he was stunned: "How many words are there?" Yoshiho, you're really stumped me this time...... Five thousand? Six thousand? ”

Lu Ren saw Cai Yan frozen like this, and the two beautiful eyebrows were almost twisted together, and he was afraid that she would be hurt and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, don't worry!" You've just recovered, so let's talk about it later! ”

Cai Yan came back to his senses, saw that Lu Qin in his arms did not suck the milk, and hurriedly straightened it up, turned his head and asked, "Yihao, what do you want to do?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I want to compile and print a dictionary!" ”

Cai Yan exclaimed: "Dictionary!? Yoshiho, you don't have a fever, do you? ”

Lu Ren shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm sober!" ”

Lu Ren actually has his plans. The dictionary can be said to be the first step in reading and recognizing, if you quote the pinyin and stroke search method in the modern dictionary, at least it can be regarded as the most basic literacy reading, so his next step is to get the dictionary out, so as to improve the cultural popularity of Yizhou.

After Cai Yan asked Lu Ren's thoughts, he poured cold water. This is not that Cai Yan does not want to support Lu Ren, but points out the shortcomings in Lu Ren's thinking. The first is that there were tens of thousands of Chinese characters at that time, and even if Lu Ren wanted to reduce it to 5,000 to 6,000 according to modern practices, it would not be so easy to collect them all. If you count the rare words, random words or something...... (To be continued.) )
