Liu Yong said goodbye to Cao Cao. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "I'll go too!" Cai Wenji didn't wait for Liu Yong's consent, and then came out. Liu Yong had to smile bitterly.

"Can Brother Liu really complete it in two months?" Cai Wenji was worried.

Liu Yong immediately rushed to the printing house yesterday, passed Cao Cao's warrant to the steward, and asked all the craftsmen to immediately put down their work and fully cooperate with him. After a while, skilled carpenters and blacksmiths urgently deployed from the city also arrived, and Liu Yong assigned tasks one by one.

The blacksmith fired and forged several pieces slightly larger than the book, flat in the middle, and framed iron plates on all sides for backup; The carpenters took out the carved plates from stock, popped straight lines with ink along the middle of each row and column, sawed them along the ink lines with a thin wire saw, divided them into words one by one, and arranged them in a box in alphabetical order, which is called movable type. At this time, the engraving was large and sparsely spaced, which was easy for a skilled carpenter. When printing a book, put rosin and wax on the iron plate and roast it with a fire. Then the original book is densely lined with movable type in the iron frame, and the full iron frame is a edition, and then a flat plate is used to press on top of the arranged movable type, and the words are flattened, and a movable type version is arranged. It is the same as engraving, as long as the surface of the character is coated with ink, it can be printed. After a page is printed, the iron plate is baked over a fire, and the rosin or wax melts. The typesetter dismantles the movable type and can continue to use it in typesetting.

In order to improve efficiency, Liu Yong ordered several iron plates to be prepared, and organized several groups of craftsmen to work at the same time, printing and typesetting at the same time, using them alternately, and printing extremely fast. When encountering a word that is not there or the word is not enough, someone immediately carves it, and it is very fast.

However, within 50 days, Liu Yong completed the printing of two volumes, "Cao Mengde's Annotation on Sun Tzu's Soldier's Book" and "Mengde's New Book". Cao Cao took it in his hand and looked at the pages of his proud work that condensed his hard work on the paper, and he was in a happy mood, and he had more and more intention to recruit Liu Yong.

But Liu Yong was also like Guan Yu to himself, so Cao Cao asked Guo Jia for advice. Guo Jiadao: "Liu Yong is not a Chinese, he is unfamiliar with the people and land, and he is alone, the prime minister can be allowed to be a high-ranking official, and choose a good woman among his sons and nephews to match him as his wife, Liu Yong will be grateful and serve the prime minister." ”

Cao Cao said sadly: "It's a pity that there are no women of the same age in the Benxiang clan, and Liu Yong is from the Western Regions, and his views are very different from those of the world, so it is difficult for ordinary women to enter his eyes." Cai Yan is the only beloved daughter of my mentor and friend, beautiful and intelligent, virtuous and erudite, and she has already planned to find an opportunity to marry Liu Yong. hateful Liu Yong made his own assertion and wanted to marry Diao Chan, this matter is known from top to bottom, how can Cao let Cai Yan be a concubine, and he is ashamed of his kindness. ”

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I thought that the prime minister might as well protect Liu Yong and Diao Chan." ”

Cao Cao was stunned and said, "What does Feng Xiao mean?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "There is a cloud in the Book of Songs, 'What is it like to marry a wife?' Tell your parents; What is it like to marry a wife? The two of them are fatherless, motherless, and have no other relatives, how can they do the 'six rites' and become relatives? If the prime minister uses this to show grace to Liu Yong, Liu Yong will tie the grass title ring to repay the prime minister's kindness. ”

Cao Cao hesitated and said: "It's just that Diao Chan is Wang Yunyi's daughter, and she was once Dong Zhuo and Lu Buji's concubines, and it is very inappropriate to say that she is married." ”

Guo Jia persuaded: "Prime Minister, those who achieve great things do not live in small sections. If the prime minister gets Liu Yong's help, he will be like a tiger with wings, pacify the four seas, and dominate the world, just around the corner. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, made up his mind, took the case, and said loudly: "Okay! The prime minister said this family business for Liu Yong. He also instructed: "Come and spread Liu Yong." ”

Cao Cao didn't know that Liu Yong was holding a letter at this time, and his heart was mixed. Today, Liu Yong received a letter from his family brought by Da Qiaotuo. The letter said that he had received Liu Yong's letter, but he was afraid that Dong Yun would not be able to bear it, so he did not let her know. Although the letter expressed understanding of Liu Yong's reason for wanting to marry Diao Chan, he still bluntly pointed out that Liu Yong was not thoughtful, and the method he did was even more inappropriate: first, Liu Yong first had a white head appointment with Dong Yun, how could he not believe it; the second is that although Diao Chan is pitiful and respectable, it is only suitable to be a concubine rather than a wife; The third is that the words of Jiangnan have spread all over the world, and he has promised to marry him, and he can't marry anyone else. In the end, Da Qiao wrote that Liu Yong saved her whole family and protected her innocence, and in this life she will not marry Liu Yong, she does not care about her name, and she is willing to wait for Liu Yong to return.

After reading it, Liu Yong was moved and sad at the same time. Dong Yun has shared hardships with herself, and she has the grace to save her life; Diao Chan has worked hard all his life, and he needs the comfort and care of a considerate man like himself; Da Qiao is gentle and kind, empathetic, and now the fake has come true, these three women keep turning in Liu Yong's mind, sweet and troublesome, how to choose between themselves? At this time, the news came with him, and Cao Cao sent an order to summon Liu Yong into the mansion to discuss matters.

Liu Yong hurriedly came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Cao Cao and asked, "The Prime Minister urgently summoned Liu Yong, but did Yuan Shao from Hebei send troops?" ”

"Definitely." Cao Cao said with a smile on his face, "I heard that Chongru wants to marry Diao Chan as his wife, but no one is in charge. This prime minister is willing to protect the media for Diao Chan, and Yucheng will do this to urge you to get married as soon as possible and become husband and wife? ”

Liu Yong was surprised and delighted, but unfortunately it was not the right time, and he sighed in his heart. Suddenly thought that this action was not like Cao Cao's style, and his brain teaser turned quickly, and he guessed Cao Cao's true intentions. Liu Yong said: "Liu Yong Xie Cheng is kind." It's just that I can't marry a wife yet. ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Liu Yong had no choice but to make it up: "Prime Minister, Liu Yong is a person from the Western Regions, and the marriage ceremony he performs is very different from that of the Central Plains. ”

"What's the difference?"

"First, both men and women need to be at least 18 years old to get married."

Cao Cao said strangely: "If Chongru is not already twenty-four, then Diao Chan has also passed the twentieth decade, why not?" ”

Liu Yong's heart was empty, and he reluctantly replied: "It's not about this, but Liu Yong must have had a family affair before, but the woman is only seventeen years old." ”

Cao Cao was even more strange and asked, "Since Chongru has already set a family affair, how can he marry Diao Chan as his wife again?" ”

It turns out that China has always practiced a strict monogamous and polygamous concubine system, and it is not allowed to have more than two wives, even if it is the emperor, there can only be one wife - the queen, and others such as Donggong Niangniang and Xigong Niangniang are still concubines to put it bluntly, but they are concubines with higher status. There is a world of difference between wives and concubines in status, and concubines cannot be counted as legal spouses. After the death of the wife, she can enter the clan tablet, and the children born are called "grandsons", and the sons can inherit the title; After the death of the concubine, she cannot be included in the clan tablet, and the children born to her are called "concubines" and cannot inherit the title. In addition, the concubine is mostly decided by the husband's personal likes and dislikes, which is a personal behavior that is not recognized by the family, and the husband's family will not agree with the concubine's family, so the husband's family does not recognize the concubine's family as a relative. "The Biography of Gu Liang" says "don't be a concubine as a wife", that is, a concubine is not qualified to be a wife, and in the Tang Dynasty, if a concubine is a wife, it is even a crime.

Liu Yong said nonsense: "Prime Minister, Liu Yong believes in ****** religion in the Western Regions. The doctrine of the Qur'an allows a man to marry four wives, although there are strict requirements. ”

Cao Cao was familiar with all kinds of classics, but he had never heard of any ****** teachings, but thinking that most of the foreign races in the Western Regions had not been civilized, it was no wonder that he didn't know etiquette and righteousness, so he just asked curiously, "What are the requirements?" He didn't know that this ****** religion was only available hundreds of years later.

Liu Yong breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "First, age, both men and women must be at least eighteen years old; the second is to be happy with each other, that is, both men and women must be willing; Third, the husband must treat each wife equally, with the same clothing, food, housing, transportation, and use, and must not favor any one party. If you like one of the wives and want to buy her a gift, then you have to buy the same gift for the other three wives, otherwise you are breaking the law. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "This is interesting, but you can't pet one room." Then he asked, "Is there a door?" ”

Liu Yong replied resolutely: "No." Although this time is far less than the strict hierarchy of the door valve in the two Jin Dynasty, the folk also have the custom of "good and low do not marry", which is also Liu Yong has always hated, so he resolutely denied it.

Cao Cao was speechless, and said for a long time: "Chongru will go back for the time being, and this matter will be discussed later." ”

Liu Yong leaned over to say goodbye, and secretly wondered in his heart, did my words touch Cao Cao, how did he react like this. Don't...... Could it be that he thought of Cao Chong's biological mother, Mrs. Huan?

Liu Yong's expectation was good, Cao Cao thought of Mrs. Huan. Among Cao Cao's many sons, his favorite is Cao Chong, but unfortunately it is impossible for Cao Chong to establish a successor or a long, not to mention that there is such a strong opposition from secular forces. Cao Cao's generation of heroes would never take such a trivial matter to heart, so he made up his mind in an instant, first put aside the matter of subduing Liu Yong, and focused on tackling the feathers.

However, Cao Cao did several things one after another, but he was quite bored. First of all, seeing that Guan Yu likes to wear a green brocade robe, he asked the best tailor to make a brand new green brocade robe with the best green brocade and give it to Guan Yu. However, Guan Yu put the new brocade robe given by Cao Cao under the old robe, and said that the old robe was given by his brother Liu Bei, and he did not dare to like the new and forget the old. Later, Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu was thin and thin on a yellow fat horse, so he gave Guan Yu the red rabbit horse that Lu Bu had ridden before. Guan Yu was indifferent to the previous rewards, but he was overjoyed to accept the horse, kneeling down and thanking him. Cao Cao asked the reason, Guan Yu replied: This horse travels a thousand a day, and eight hundred at night, and if the whereabouts of his brother are found in the future, even if he is thousands of miles away, he can be seen in one day with this horse.

Cao Cao was indignant and asked, "Yun Chang, how is this treating you?" ”

Guan Yu knelt on the ground and said affectionately: "The prime minister treats Guan Yu as kind as a mountain. ”

"Why is Yun Chang so unforgettable for that Liu Bei?"

"Prime Minister, it's not that Guan Yu doesn't repay his kindness, but he is just forming a righteous alliance with Uncle Huang and Yide Taoyuan, and swearing to live and die together. The eldest husband has a daughter's promise, how can he break his word and get fat. Guan Yu had to keep the prime minister's great grace in mind in order to repay later. ”

"The kindness of the self-questioning Yun Chang is far beyond Liu Bei's reach. The court is the court of the people, not the court of a certain Cao, Yun Changzhong serves the country, why should he be so stubborn? ”

Yun Chang bowed down and bowed again: "Prime Minister, Guan Yu is deeply favored by the emperor's uncle, has deep brotherhood, shares life and death, and does not dare to contradict each other for life." The prime minister treats him deeply, how dare Guan Yu forget it. Prime Minister, but please rest assured, Guan Yu is by no means ungrateful, even if I want to visit the imperial uncle in the future, I will repay the Prime Minister's kindness first. ”

Cao Cao praised: "Yun Chang is loyal and faithful, does not forget his roots, and is really a righteous man in the world." This matter will not be mentioned again, and Yun Chang will take it easy. ”

The more Guan Yu did not return to obedience, the more Cao Cao liked it, and the more he wanted to keep him. Cao Cao summoned his advisers to discuss: "Gu Zeng recruited Guan Yu and Liu Yong with the strategy of Wenyuan and Fengxiao, but with little success. Gentlemen, do you have any good strategies to keep Guan Yu and Liu Yong for Lonely? ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and look at each other. After a long time, Xun Yu said: "Prime Minister, there is a way to fall down." ”

"Wen Ruo, what's the clever plan to come quickly?"

"Prime Minister, Yun Chang knows how to repay his kindness, even if he wants to leave, he will do his best to repay the Prime Minister's great kindness first. As long as the prime minister does not have a chance with Guan Yu and has nowhere to repay his kindness, then he will not be able to leave Xu Du, and he will not be able to leave the prime minister. ”

Cao Cao was depressed for a while, this is also called an idea? If you don't give Guan Yu a chance to repay your kindness, it's not to keep it, what's the good about it, and it's not to keep a pet, so he asked: "Do you have any high opinions, gentlemen?" Everyone was silent, and Cao Cao said helplessly: "Okay." If Yun's strengths are like this for the time being, how will Liu Yong deal with it? ”

Guo Jia saw that the others were silent, so he had to stand up and say: "Liu Yong is different from Guan Yu, just wait a while, the prime minister will marry Liu Yong, and marry Na Diao Chan and Dong Yun as his wives." Liu Yong is grateful for the prime minister's great kindness and will be submissive to the prime minister. ”

Before Cao Cao could speak, Xun Yu said first: "How can there be a gift for a person to marry a second wife." Feng Xiao's words, isn't it trapping the prime minister in injustice? ”

Cheng Yu also said: "I am a country of etiquette and righteousness, and Liu Yongzong is a person from outside the territory, who not only serves here, but also needs to follow the etiquette of the Han Dynasty." ”

The left and right discussed and disagreed with Guo Jia's words. Guo Jia said angrily: "Guo has no good plan, and the princes think it is inappropriate, so they come up with a plan to solve the prime minister's worries." And they were all speechless.

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and then said: "Liu Yong is also a person who will repay his kindness, so how about acting according to Yun Chang's plan?" ”

Everyone was at a loss, so they had to nod their heads and say yes.
