Chapter 45: The Family's Scheme
"What? A book made of paper? Old man Cai Yong won't do such a boring thing no matter how idle he is, right? It's not a few months after a few months to copy so many books on Cai Hou paper, but the only one who can write books on Cai Hou paper is Cai Yong's old man, this guy's calligraphy is elegant and exquisite, the pen and ink are thick and not transparent to the back of the paper, but unfortunately it is stubborn. After listening to what the servant sent back by Yuan Yin said, Yuan Kui sighed and said. At that time, the material of Caihou paper was relatively rough, because the fiber of the bark hemp head was relatively rough, and the paper made was easier to penetrate ink, and the writing was often pen through the paper, and it was not easy to preserve, until later the papermaking technology was transmitted to Jiangnan, and bamboo and other things were added to the raw materials, and the paper was widely used for copying books and storing words.
According to Young Master Yin, although the volumes of books he saw were made of paper, the paper was very different from Cai Hou's paper, and dozens of books were signed "Shangshu", there was a lot of doubt about this matter, and the fonts on it were all in Mr. Bo's flying white font, as if printed on paper. Mr. Bo didn't think he had so much leisure to copy so many copies of the "Book of Shang", right? The servant continued.
Although Cai Yong's official position has always been low and he has no faction, his reputation in the world and his reputation among Dongguan students is that the Yuan family is such a wealthy family and has to pay attention to it. Yuan Yin was sent to Taiyuan to observe and observe Lu Bu, a rising star of martial arts, and secondly, because Yuan Kui wanted to find out why Cai Yong went to Bingzhou safely. Bingzhou is desolate, surrounded by different races, and there are no literati, Cai Yong is willing to go, there must be a reason. Yuan Yin has been visiting Cai Yong's mansion, although there is Cai Yan's reason, Yuan Kui's advice also accounts for a large proportion, and sure enough, it didn't take a few days to find out the suspicion.
Yuan Kui paced, thinking, his brows furrowed from time to time, and he couldn't understand it after thinking for a long time.
"You wait first, I'll write a letter to Yanping." Yuan Kui couldn't think of an answer, so he had to revise another book for Yuan Yin to pay more attention to.
Because he had been thinking about paper-related issues for a long time, Yuan Kui unnaturally took out a piece of Caihou paper and wrote. Although Yuan Kui's calligraphy is not as good as Cai Yong, it is not bad, the ink only passes through the paper a little, Yuan Kui blew on the paper, took his own big seal and went to the card. "Huh?" Yuan Kui's mind flashed with inspiration, and he ...... Didn't our predecessors have the idea of printing books? Engrave the article on the seal...... It's just that the paper is rough, and it's not very clear, and if the Caihou paper can be smoothed a little, it is not impossible to print the book.
"I see!" Yuan Kui shouted, startling the servants waiting outside the study, a little unclear.
"Lu Bu must have made new paper over there! No wonder Cai Yong Lao'er would rather offend Dong Zhuo than go north, if there is really new paper, then Lao Er will go straight to it if he doesn't want to...... Not good, not good! The status of the family in this world is going to be unstable! "If you want to say that the leader of the family, that is all born with a seven-trick exquisite heart, not to mention intelligence, strategy is also the best choice, relying on a little clue basically to restore most of the facts, "Four Worlds and Three Princes" must have their uniqueness.
With this idea, Yuan Kui could still sit still, and ran out of the house in a hurry. Even the domestic servant who was waiting for the message didn't have time to say hello, after all, the domestic servant had a low status, and Yuan Kui didn't care about it in his heart.
The Huang family, the Dong family (not the Dong Zhuo family), the Fu family, the Xun family...... Even the Yang family, who is right in name and deeply connected in private, Yuan Kui also made a trip. Other wealthy families from all over the world, Yuan Kui also chose a reliable message.
That night, the heads of several major families who were famous in the capital gathered together.
"Mrs. Yuan said too much at noon, I don't know what made Mrs. Yuan so flustered?" Although Yang Biao is young and has not succeeded the head of the family for a few years, the strength of the Yang family is there, and the Yuan and Yang families are restraining each other in name, and Yuan Kui always has something to say about openly recruiting each other. Even if the young emperor Liu Wei is young at this time, it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong, and the impact is not good.
"Wen Xian (Yang Biaozi) is a little calm, listen to me slowly." Yuan Kui's face turned bitter, sorted out his messy thoughts, and spoke.
"My nephew Yuan Yin went to Taiyuan a few days ago......"
Speaking of Yuan Yin, several people present were disdainful, who is Yuan Yin? When it comes to eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, there are really few people in the whole Luoyang who can compare. Yuan Kui worked hard to install such a waste and robbed the prince's nephew of the Taishou, and these people were very puzzled. Although it is not very polite for Wang Chen and Wang Boyun to be appointed as Taishou, it is also His Majesty's personal appointment, and Yuan Kui's behavior like this has seriously offended the entire Wang family. In the Han Dynasty, it was customary for locals not to be local governors.
"He got my order to deliberately observe Cai Bojiao, and sure enough, he found something wrong, and our status is worrying!"
Cai Bojiao? It's a little wrong for this old man to go to the state, but he is just a famous and powerless person, what big threat can he pose to us? Everyone present still thinks that Yuan Kui's hand has stretched out, and it is estimated that Yuan Yin hit a nail in Bingzhou, and now he is looking for foreign aid.
"It is likely that Bingzhou has made a new paper that is better than Cai Hou's paper...... I guess I can write a lot of things......"
"What? New paper? "A few of you here are old foxes, thinking that Cai Lun was just a yellow door in the inner palace, and the improved paper was recited by the readers for a hundred years, if the old man Cai Yong really made a new paper, then the name is not too big? But that's nothing, is it? No matter how big the fame is, what is the use?
Yuan Kui saw that these people could barely sit still, and continued.
"If this paper could be made in large quantities and printed on it...... I wonder if you can still sit at home? ”
"Printing? How to print a book? He interjected in confusion.
"Could it be ......" Xun Shuang opened his mouth, but he couldn't say it anymore with his mouth wide open. Impossible, right? Xun Shuang thought about the consequences, but he didn't want to admit it at all.
"No, I want to get Cai Yong back!" Huang Wan stood up and said loudly.
"Is this reliable?" Yang Biao's eyebrows tightened.
"This matter is what my nephew saw with his own eyes, Cai Yong's daughter has dozens of copies of "Shangshu" dried in the inner courtyard, and the paper material is very different from Cai Hou paper." Yuan Kui saw that everyone's reactions were different, and he didn't care to make an evaluation in his heart, so he followed Yang Biao's words and answered.
"This matter should be presented to the Holy ......" Before he finished speaking, he was blocked back by Xun Shuang.
"Something to do with Lu Bu?" Xun Shuang's face was already red. The major families can pass on more than a hundred years are often the scriptures, relying on one or several scriptures and classics to establish the world, if the classics they are proud of can be a copy of each, the family should also come to an end.
Yuan Kui glanced at Xun Shuang appreciatively, when it comes to vision, this guy is not inferior to himself at all, but he is not very careful in terms of strategy, otherwise he will definitely be the enemy of the Yuan family. After thinking about it, he sighed again, and glanced at the north from afar, so how could Cai Yong be a mediocre person? If the plan is not right, I'm afraid that the old guy will give the world a knife, right?
"According to Lu Bu's performance in Luoyang, eighty percent of it has something to do with him, and we all ignore this person!"
"What should I do, Taifu will give me a word." Xun Shuang said helplessly. If it was Cai Yong alone, it would be easy to deal with, but with Lu Bu who was outside the mercenaries, it would be a headache. This person can make new paper, and he knows that his predecessors have the intention of printing books, and he can also borrow Cai Yong's momentum to not remove it, and the people in the world will be wiped out by him.
