Chapter 401: Yang Ci's Ambition
Liu Xin smiled, it seems that Yang Biao is still a little anxious, and now he has made his conditions very clear, but Liu Xin is very curious, Yang Biao, or the Hongnong Yang family, wants to cooperate with him What kind of thing did he want, he actually offered such superior conditions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
According to the current situation of Liu Xin and Hongnong Yang's family, the strength comparison between the two sides is maintained at a balanced point, so the cooperation between the two sides is to pay attention to an equivalent exchange, after all, no one wants to suffer, and it is impossible to think about others for no reason.
So now that Yang Biao has opened such superior conditions, Liu Xin can't help but start thinking, what kind of conditions will Hongnong Yang's family put forward for himself?
Thinking of this, Liu Xin nodded with a smile, and then said to Yang Biao: "Brother Wen Xian, the conditions offered by your Hongnong Yang family make this king very satisfied, and this king also sees the sincerity of your Hongnong Yang family, so this king will tell you like this, Brother Wen Xian, as long as the cooperation content you propose does not involve power disputes in Luoyang City, or anything that hurts heaven and reason, this king is acceptable." ”
After listening to Liu Xin's answer, Yang Biao immediately nodded, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my father knows that you don't have the heart to participate in the power struggle in Luoyang City, so my father has long lost this idea, and the content that my father wants to cooperate with you is not a thing that hurts the heavens and reason, and it is a good thing to benefit the world's scholars." ”
When Liu Xin heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said with some surprise: "Oh, that king has to listen to it now." ”
Liu Xin said so, in fact, Liu Xin had guessed what Yang Biao's cooperation meant, after all, for this era, or for the scholars of all dynasties, the most important thing is not the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but the most important item in the inheritance of Chinese civilization - books.
The books of this era are basically made of processed bamboo pieces as raw materials, that is, bamboo slips, because the bamboo pieces will evaporate water during the processing process to form a drop of water droplets, so the bamboo slips are also called sweat green, that is, the famous Chinese patriotic poet Wen Tianxiang's poem "keep Dan heart according to sweat green".
Of course, the ancient Chinese books are not as mostly used as decorations like later generations, and they will be read from time to time, so the frequency of use is very high, but then again, Liu Xin has also seen the bamboo slips in Zhang Song's house, which are often large bundles and bundles, and the weight is extremely touching, and it is very difficult to read.
Of course, such as the Han royal family or the Hongnong Yang family, these high-grade families, naturally have a way to solve the problem of the weight of bamboo slips, that is, to use cloth brocade silk as the raw material for the production of books, but although the weight of this brocade book has been reduced a lot, but there are also many problems, that is, the price is extremely high, after all, the cloth brocade silk that can be used to write long speeches is not cheap, and it is more troublesome to preserve than bamboo slips, so the time limit for the use of brocade books is not as long as that of bamboo slips, so even if it is used as a scholarly door, And the Hongnong Yang family, which is not short of money, can only give priority to the supply of brocade books to Yang Ci, the core members of the family, as for Yang Biao, they can only share some brocade books with others, and the bottom members of the Yang family below can only continue to use bamboo slips.
As for the paper of the Han Dynasty, that is, Caihou paper, not to mention, because of the problem of production technology, Caihou paper is not in good condition, and basically has little effect, let alone make it into a book, that Caihou paper is not only difficult to write, but also can not afford to read it a few times will be damaged, so even the wealthy Hongnong Yang family only symbolically made the basic paper book at home, as a "uncle" like offering, basically no one will go to read.
However, it has been different recently, Liu Xin's rice paper sold at the auction in Chengdu has caused a sensation in the circle of Han scribes, and Hongnong Yang's family has also obtained a part of the rice paper, and has experimented with the writing effect and preservation effect of rice paper, which makes Hongnong Yang's family very happy, thinking that it is a necessary need for Han scribes.
And now, all the people of Xuan Paper are in Luoyang, which makes the Hongnong Yang family see an opportunity, an opportunity to make the Hongnong Yang family stronger!
Of course, Liu Xin didn't think of it so much now, and said directly to Yang Biao: "Brother Wen Xian, do you want those rice papers in the hands of this king?" ”
Liu Xin went straight to the point, which made Yang Biao look at Liu Xin a little speechlessly, as if he was complaining about why Liu Xin didn't say a few more words and then turned to the whole.
However, Yang Biao was relieved to see that Liu Xin directly picked out the matter, at least from Liu Xin's tone, Yang Biao knew that Liu Xin should not sweep away his self-cherishment and not take out the rice paper as a condition for cooperation.
Therefore, Yang Biao also said to Liu Xin very straightforwardly: "That's true, our Hongnong Yang family is hoping to get the right to use rice paper from your hands, and if you can, our Hongnong Yang family also hopes to get the exclusive right to use and sell rice paper. Although our Hongnong Yang family is mainly engaged in the study of literature, it also has a lot of ways in business, which is guaranteed to bring you a great income, and people all over the world will read your good things. ”
As soon as Liu Xin heard this, he instantly understood what Hongnong Yang's family was thinking, wouldn't that scholar want a copy this year?
And now if Liu Xin authorizes the right to use and sell rice paper to the Hongnong Yang family, then the Hongnong Yang family is equivalent to becoming the monopoly of the Han rice paper, so coupled with the original status of the Hongnong Yang family in the circle of Han scribes, then the Hongnong Yang family can really dominate the power of the Han scribes, and can also use this to make friends and attract some poor children to serve it, why not?
However, what surprised Liu Xin the most was that the Hongnong Yang family still had some eyes, and did not say some righteous and awe-inspiring words to morally "kidnap" himself, and asked him to share the production technology of rice paper.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the rice paper that Liu Xin is now taking out is already a product with mature technology and can be mass-produced. It should also be understood that the material of rice paper will not be very rare.
After all, we treat others as our own ... No, it should be said that it is an inference, like Hongnong Yang's family, should know the formula of Caihou paper, so it is not difficult to guess that the formula of rice paper should be similar.
It is true that after the Hongnong Yang family got the rice paper, they specially arranged for people to study the production method of the rice paper, especially the material analysis, and the Hongnong Yang family specially divided a piece of rice paper into more than ten parts, and handed it over to the papermaking craftsmen specially trained by the Hongnong Yang family (although the practicability of Caihou paper is not good, but the Hongnong Yang family still has a certain demand for Caihou paper, so the Hongnong Yang family also specially supported a group of papermaking craftsmen, and there is a special papermaking workshop) for identification.
However, because of the limitations of the times, the papermaking craftsmen did not figure out the production methods and raw materials of rice paper, to be precise, the more critical raw materials, so Hongnong Yang tried to make some "rice paper", but the result naturally ended in failure.
Therefore, Yang Biao will offer such good conditions today, and I only hope that Liu Xin can exclusively authorize the right to use and sell rice paper in Dahan to the Hongnong Yang family, so that the Hongnong Yang family can take advantage of this to achieve better development, and even have the opportunity to upgrade the Hongnong Yang family to the level of the Qufu Kong family!
That's right, the ultimate goal of the Hongnong Yang family is to keep pace with the Qufu Kong family, who is known as the Wensheng family!
That's right, the Hongnong Yang family is so ambitious, after all, there is no first, although the Qufu Confucian family has undoubtedly occupied the first place in the Chinese scribe family because of the existence of Confucius, and the family where the Yasheng Mencius is located behind him, and the family where the disciples of Confucius are are chasing the Qufu Confucian family, but unfortunately because these families have an inexplicable relationship with the Qufu Confucian family, they are all powerless about the status of the Qufu Confucian family, so they can only silently follow behind the Qufu Confucian family.
And the Hongnong Yang family is different, as an emerging family of scribes, the Hongnong Yang family to Yang Ci's generation, famous, has faintly compared with the Qufu Confucian family, in terms of learning, Yang Ci thinks that he is almost the same generation as the Qufu Confucian family, and even surpassed!
That's right, Yang Ci is so confident!
But then again, as a figure hundreds of years ago, Yang Ci still respects Confucius very much, and he also knows that he has also learned the knowledge left by Confucius, so Yang Ci has no intention of "bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors", and uses the "corpse" of the Confucian family in Qufu to ascend to the throne.
After all, as mentioned earlier, if you want to stand out in an industry or a circle, then the most convenient, fastest, and most effective way is to step on those who are more famous than yourself, have status, "people" on the top, of course, there is also a way is to "die peers", when those "peers" in front of you are not there for various reasons, then you will naturally become the leading brother in this "industry".
Yang Ci knew that it was impossible to expect the Qufu Confucian family to decline on its own, after all, the "status of the rivers and lakes" of the Qufu Confucian family was placed here, even if Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, Liu Bang and the Han Dynasty Qin, did not have any impact on the Qufu Confucian family, but also improved the social status of the Qufu Confucian family, and the emperors of all dynasties gave preferential treatment to the Qufu Confucian family, so Yang Ci thought that the Qufu Confucian family would not disappear in the long river of history, and Yang Ci also hoped that the Hongnong Yang family where he was located could be as continuous as the Qufu Confucian family!
It is true that the Qufu Confucian family has almost run through the entire Chinese civilization, and its incense has never been cut off, and with the importance that the rulers of the past dynasties attached importance to the Qufu Confucian family (in fact, every time the dynasty changed in ancient China, the rulers would basically go to the Qufu Confucian family to "endorse" in order to prove their orthodox status, and by the way, they would add some new titles to Confucius, some very long and powerful titles), the Qufu Confucian family can continue to be incense and praised.
Therefore, Yang Ci felt that it was impossible for him to wait for the day when the Qufu Confucian family "killed himself", and it was impossible for him to go to the Qufu Confucian family for a "literary comparison", so as to step on the "corpse" of the Qufu Confucian family and make the Hongnong Yang family the first place in the scribe family, but Yang Ci was unwilling to let the Hongnong Yang family remain unchanged under his own leadership, after all, Yang Ci felt that the Hongnong Yang family under his leadership was incomparably strong, especially in literature. Therefore, Yang Ci hopes that the Hongnong Yang family led by him can get the status it deserves.
So Yang Ci thought about it left and right, and kept thinking about this question, until Liu Xin's appearance, to be exact, when the rice paper in Liu Xin's hand appeared, Yang Ci finally realized that the answer to the question he had been seeking had appeared.
Why Confucius can go down in history and bless the Qufu Confucian family in later generations, first of all, it must be Confucius's profound knowledge, which Yang Ci is very sure, but Yang Ci believes that this is not the focus of Confucius to become a literary saint, and the real focus Yang Ci thinks that it is actually Confucius's "reputation" at that time!
Yang Ci believes that even if Confucius is a pedantic celestial, if he sticks to one place, writes and compiles books, he may only leave one or two "anonymous" works worth reading, but Confucius chose to travel around the world, promote his doctrine, and recruit apprentices, teaching without class, which is something that has never happened in any period, so Confucius, the "pioneer", undoubtedly became a popular man at that time, coupled with the correctness and dissemination of his doctrine, Confucius thus obtained his current status, and now has the current Qufu Confucian family, After all, Confucius turned his family education into Confucianism, which everyone in the world should learn!
And now, Yang Ci feels that he is already very good in terms of learning, and his reputation is okay, not to say that everyone knows it in Dahan, no one knows it, and it is also eight out of ten people who know themselves, so Yang Ci feels that he is short of a chance, an opportunity to really be able to make a name for himself, that is, an opportunity to turn the family study of the Hongnong Yang family into a "national study".
And now, rice paper has given itself that opportunity!
The reason why family study is called family study is because of the backward transportation and communication conditions of this era, which led to the fact that every scribe family could only work behind closed doors, and could not become the "national study" of the whole country like the family study of the Confucian family in Qufu.
The times create heroes, at that time, under all kinds of coincidences, to create a "saint" like Confucius, Yang Ci knew that he could not copy Confucius's "road to holiness", but Yang Ci can now use rice paper to get out of his own way!
Yang Ci has now come up with a way, as long as Liu Xin hands over the right to use and sell rice paper to himself, then he can make a light paper book, the content is naturally based on such classic books as the Four Books and Five Classics, but Yang Ci will also add the Hongnong Yang family's family study as a "private product", that is, the version after Yang Ci is annotated, and then push it to the Han by lowering the price appropriately, so that the Han people can learn their Hongnong Yang family's family study invisibly!
