What is the value of knowledge? Nobody knows! In the Han Dynasty, every book was valuable. The first batch of paper and books www.biquge.info Liu Zhang was not used for reform and education, but was transported to Ba County, and Mi Zhu was ready to make a lot of money with this batch of inferior paper and books. But he didn't expect that the first batch of people who came to buy books and paper turned out to be a family in Shuzhong! However, these families quickly got Liu Zhang's information, and naturally dispelled the idea of buying books and paper, otherwise Mi Zhu would definitely be scolded in a few months!

Jiangdong, Moling.

A meeting was being held in the council hall of Wuhou Mansion, and Lu Su, who had not arrived for a long time, suddenly rushed into the hall. Seeing Lu Su's hurried appearance, Sun Quan frowned and asked, "Zijing, what's wrong?" ”

"Lord, Liu Zhang carried out reforms in Chang'an, abolished all the three princes and nine secretaries, and made twelve departments!" Lu Su was anxious with the information, but Sun Quan didn't care.

"Reform and change the law, it's just a change of soup and not a change of medicine, Zijing doesn't have to be excited!" Zhang Zhao is also not optimistic about Liu Zhang, in the Han Dynasty, the style of retro revenge was flourishing, and Liu Zhang made something that no one had ever seen, so naturally no one was optimistic. People are always full of rejection and hostility to the unknown or incomprehensible!

"Lord, how can Liu Zhang's actions be groundless?" Seeing that everyone despised Liu Zhang, Lu Su gritted his teeth and took out a stack of paper from his arms and said, "Look at this kind of thing again!" ”

"It's... Paper? Everyone's eyes froze, and some so-called great Confucians and scribes have already revealed a frenzy. Although the Han people made paper during the Western Han Dynasty, it was not only expensive but also impractical. Even Cai Lun's improved paper is not as good as cloth, so most Han people like to use cloth. The paper in Lu Su's hand is obviously different from Cai Hou's paper, not only does it look much whiter, but it also seems to be very soft.

"Exactly!" Lu Su sent the paper to everyone and put the rest on Sun Quan's case, Sun Quan picked up the paper in front of him and looked at it again, feeling a little dazed.

"Zijing, where did these papers come from?" Holding the paper, Zhang Zhao's face was full of excitement, nothing attracted the attention of the scribe more than paper!

"Alas..."Lu Su sighed and said: "This kind of paper has been sold like crazy in Wuling, and the price is comparable to cloth!" ”

"Wuling?" Zhang Zhao frowned and said, "I haven't heard Wuling Taishou mention it, don't they want to pay taxes?" ”

Lu Su smiled bitterly: "Of course Wuling Taishou won't mention it, because the person who sells paper is Liu Zhang!" It is said that these papers are sold by the Mi family, and they are only traded in Fuguan, and they can only be exchanged for grain! ”

"What?" Sun Quan exclaimed: "Liu Zhang's exchange of paper for grain, isn't he going to dig up our roots?" The order goes down and forbids the people of Jiangdong to buy this kind of paper! ”

"Impossible!" Zhang Zhao poured a basin of cold water on Sun Quan's head, and he smiled bitterly: "Lord, when I see this kind of paper, even I want to buy it." How could those big families resist the temptation! If you force it, it will backfire! ”

"How's that to be?" Sun Quan slapped the table and said, "Do you want Liu Zhang to earn our Jiangdong's money and food like this?" ”

"Alas..."Zhang Zhao sighed, he really had no choice!

"Lord, why don't we add taxes to this kind of paper, the cost will be higher, won't no one buy it?" Xue Zong's eyes rolled, and a poisonous plan came to his heart.

"Do you want to make your lord lose his heart?" Zhang Hong saw through the omission of this strategy at a glance, and he said in a deep voice: "It's better to be sparse than blocked, the lord might as well send someone to take back all the paper sold by Liu Zhang, and then sell it at a higher price!" This kind of paper is so good, Liu Zhang is probably very difficult to make. As long as he doesn't have time to produce, he won't worry about him absorbing Jiangdong's money and grain! ”

"That's a great idea!" Sun Quan was overjoyed and said: "According to Zigang's meaning, this kind of paper can only be bought and sold by the government!" Since Liu Zhang wants to make money, I will let him earn it, and whoever buys his paper, I will make whoever is unlucky! ”

"Lord, paper is still a trivial matter, I still have one more thing here, which also flows from Wuling!" Lu Su reached out and took out two books from his sleeve and handed them to Sun Quan, which was printed and bound with thread!

"It's... Is it a book? Sun Quan held the two Analects, and his hands were already trembling a little. After reading silk books and bamboo slips for so many years, it is no wonder that he lost his temper when he saw the paper books at first glance.

"Yes!" Lu Su said: "These books are sold for 10,000 yuan a piece under the Fuguan, and the Jiangdong family is eager to buy them, and it is said that more than 10,000 copies have been sold, but the number of people who go to buy them has not decreased!" ”

"10,000 yuan a book, more than 10,000 copies is 100 million yuan?" Sun Quan's heart was dripping blood, and when he heard that Jiangdong had lost so much money and food, his eyes were red!

"Exactly!" Lu Su Dao; "Lord, money is still a trivial matter, you look at the paper and content of these books!"

"Huh?" Seeing the thread-bound book, Sun Quan was a little distraught, he hadn't read the content of the book yet. When he opened the book, Sun Quan asked, "Isn't this the paper and the ordinary Analects that Liu Zhang sold?" ”

"Lord, take a closer look at the handwriting of the two books!" Lu Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, when someone gave these two books, his heart was a little cold.

"This..."Sun Quan compared the handwriting of the two books, and he was shocked: "The handwriting is the same, that is, these books are not manuscripts!" Zijing, what the hell is going on! ”

"I don't know, these things seem to have appeared overnight!" Lu Su shrugged his shoulders, not to mention that he didn't have an intelligence system in his hands, even if he did, it would be difficult to gain a foothold under Liu Zhang's rule!

"Don't know?" Sun Quan stood up, walked around anxiously and said, "Check!" I want to know, what the hell is going on with these papers and books, and I can't let Liu Zhang make money and food from my rule anymore! ”

"Lord, we don't spy under Liu Zhang, let alone Chang'an!" Since the murder of Sun Ce passed, Lü Meng had completely become Sun Quan's cronies, and he had mastered Jiangdong's intelligence system, but no one in the intelligence system could infiltrate Chang'an. Even if you get in, you won't be able to get the information back. Because of the several passes outside Chang'an, the investigation is very strict, and several secret agents were found at the passes!

"No agents?" Sun Quan said angrily: "Yuan Shao can send someone to assassinate Cai Yan, but we Jiangdong can't even deliver the news, am I not wise enough, or are you too useless?" ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, please calm the anger of the lord!" Lu Meng hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the cold sweat behind his back wet his clothes!

"Lord, maybe you can contact Miss!" Bu Qi twisted his beard and said: "I heard that Miss is pregnant, and Liu Zhang is also very fond of him, even if he is discovered, presumably Liu Zhang will not do anything to her!" ”

"My little sister's relationship with me has always been cold, she won't listen to me!" Sun Quan shook his head, he thought of Sun Shangxiang's eyes when he got married, and his heart was a little uncomfortable!

"You won't listen to what you say, what about Old Madam Sun?" Bu Qi squinted his eyes and said; "Write a letter to Miss in the tone of Old Madam Sun, I won't believe it, she won't even refuse Old Madam Sun's order!"

"This..."Sun Quan hesitated a little, but he was originally a person of affection, so he only hesitated for a moment, and then smiled: "What Zishan said is very true, but my mother will never write to my little sister, what should I do?" ”

"It's easy to hear!" Bu Qi said: "I know a master who is good at imitating handwriting, as long as the lord gets the old lady's handwriting, I can let him imitate, even if it is a close person, I can't recognize it!" ”

"Okay, I'll go get my mother's handwritten letter now, you go and call someone, and start acting in a while, the sooner the better!" After Sun Quan finished speaking, he immediately stood up and walked to the back house, while Bu Qi called Xiao Xiao to invite the friend who was good at imitating handwriting.

Isn't it easy for a son to take his mother's handwriting? Within half an hour, Sun Quan came back with a smile and a letter, which was written by Mrs. Sun to Sun Shangxiang! However, Mrs. Sun never imagined that her miss for her daughter gave her son a chance!

The handwriting was in hand, and Buqi's friend also came. According to Mrs. Sun's tone, Sun Quan compiled a letter and asked her to send it to Chang'an! At the same time, before the paper and books were clarified, he ordered the Jiangdong family not to buy any more, otherwise they would be punished as collaborators. However, in these few days of sales, Liu Zhang has not only recouped his capital, but also made a lot of money. Since there was less business in Jiangdong, Mi Zhu took books and paper to Shangyong and Xincheng to sell, and the families under Cao Ying's command also flocked to it. Especially the Cai family and the Kuai family in Jingzhou, I don't know how much they bought.

Shouchun, Prime Minister's Mansion.

When the Jingzhou family bought books and paper, the first thing they thought of was Cao Ying, and they hurriedly sent these things to Shouchun. But Cao Ying was shocked when he saw these things, and hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures. Looking at the paper and books on the case, the strategists under Cao Ying's command all showed solemn expressions!

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can also see the benefits of these things, how should we be good?" Cao Ying understands that the spread of books and paper will definitely not be stopped, but he doesn't want Liu Zhang to earn his own money and food!

"It's easy to hear!" Sima Yi said with a smile: "Liu Zhang made it, we also made it, who is afraid of whom!" ”

"But we won't make it!" Cao Ying frowned, quite unhappy in his heart.

"Prime Minister, it won't be stealing!" Sima Yi said with a smile: "Send someone to infiltrate Chang'an and steal the manufacturing method of paper and books, as long as we learn it, are we afraid that we won't be able to fight Liu Zhang?" ”

"It's easy, if you can sneak into Chang'an, you still have a headache?" Looking at Sima Yi's smiling face, Cao Ying had the urge to beat him!

"Prime Minister, your people have infiltrated Chang'an, why do you need to send spies again!" Sima Yi knew Cao Ying very well, and he didn't care much about the displeasure on Cao Ying's face.

"Hua'er, you say?" Cao Ying turned around and looked at the top of the tent, a little hesitant. He gave his daughter to Liu Zhang, and he was already ashamed. If he uses his daughter again, he really can't pull his face. What's more, spying on the military intelligence is to annihilate the details, if Liu Zhang knows, he will definitely not let Cao Hua go!

"Prime Minister, don't worry about Miss!" Sima Yi saw Cao Ying's thoughts, and he smiled: "It is reported that Miss is pregnant, even if she is discovered, there will be no danger!" ”

"Really?" Cao Ying's brows relaxed, and he smiled: "Zhongda, this matter will be handed over to you!" ”

"I am determined to live up to the expectations of the prime minister, and I would like to ask you to write a letter by hand..."Sima Yi bowed and saluted, an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes...
