Chapter 429: The Eve of Red Cliffs

"Sit." Liu Feng smiled slightly and said to Zhang Wei.

"No." Zhang Wei answered and sat down beside him.

Seeing Zhang Wei sit down, Liu Feng took out two blank bamboo slips from the case and lined them up and down. Immediately, he picked up the pen and began to write on it.

Liu Feng wrote very seriously, and he wanted to write down the manufacturing process of the best paper in his memory, as well as some things such as printing.

It took a quarter of an hour for Liu Feng to write it. After taking a look at it and feeling satisfied, he raised his head to look at Zhang Wei.

I saw Zhang Wei sitting quietly, even if he sat silently for a quarter of an hour, there was no anxiety on his face.

Liu Feng was satisfied with his heart, and the experience of supervising the Chu knife sharpened Zhang Wei's calm surname.

Leaving this matter to him, Liu Feng was very relieved.

"Find some craftsmen who can make Caihou paper, as well as some carpenters and carvers, and finish these two things." Liu Feng rolled up the two rolls of bamboo slips and handed them to Zhang Weidao.

Zhang Wei's heart was shocked, and he immediately got up and took the bamboo slip from Liu Feng's hand.

The experience of supervising Chu Dao let Zhang Wei know that what Liu Feng asked him to do this time was definitely not small.

I couldn't help but feel a fire in my heart.

Looking at the fiery look in Zhang Wei's eyes, Liu Feng smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go down." If you need as much gold and silver, you will go to Jiang Wan to withdraw it. ”

"No." Zhang Wei answered, hugged two rolls of bamboo slips, and left quickly.

What kind of thing is this, Zhang Wei guessed in his heart, and he was a little impatient to go back and take a look.

"Upgrading the existing papermaking technology and inventing printing is also an epoch-making invention." After Zhang Wei left, Liu Feng smiled.

Build schools and publish books. Universalize culture.

Within 10 years, the South will be as talented as the North. Thinking of the grand occasion, Liu Feng's eyes were full of anticipation.

…………….

Xiling City, in the backyard of General Yang Wu's mansion. Liu Feng and his wife and concubines are all there.

Liu Fengpan sat on the stone slab, with a desk in front of him, and some fruits were placed on the table.

Liu Feng nibbled on the pear in his hand, his mouth full of sweetness.

Ahead, Liu Wei, who is more than a year old, Liu Chang walked staggeringly under the supervision of Cai Yu and Cai Da, babbling and babbling some words that he didn't understand.

Xiao Qiao and Huan'er knelt beside Liu Feng respectively, and the two daughters' faces were flushed with happiness, and their lower abdomen was slightly raised.

But there is good news. Liu Feng was a little puzzled by this, the women in his house were in pairs as soon as there was good news.

First Cai Yu, Cai Da, then Xiao Qiao, Huan'er. Something bizarre.

Now among the women around her, only Huang Yueying is alone, and she has not moved. Thinking of Huang Yueying, Liu Feng raised his head and looked to the right.

Huang Yueying is working with Cai Da to take care of Liu Chang. Occasionally picked up Liu Chang's little body and gnawed Liu Chang's little face.

It's a very happy look.

It's just that Liu Feng can see that Huang Yueying's eyes have a deep loneliness.

This woman, no matter how eccentric she is, is still a woman. Seeing that everyone in the house was happy, her own stomach was thunderous.

I already suspect that something may be wrong with my body. I often feel sad about this.

Liu Feng looked at it and sighed, women in this era are really good, raising children is their duty and instinct. Unlike those women in later generations, they are still annoying to have children.

Looking at Huang Yueying's appearance, Liu Feng was also distressed. However, he knew that in history, Huang Yueying could have children.

However, it seems to have been born very late. What happened in the middle, Liu Feng didn't know.

But Liu Feng thinks that it will be natural to pass it to the bridge, and this eccentric woman will still hold the child in the future.

After thinking for a while, Liu Feng left these family matters behind.

It's still a military event, so it's more important. It has been 13 years since Jian'an, and it is late autumn. After each month, it is the thirteenth winter of Jian'an.

That is, when the Red Cliff War broke out.

Now, Liu Feng's spies have heard some news, and the north has a bumper harvest and abundant grain. Cao Ying's army has been mobilized everywhere and is ready to move.

The Battle of Chibi is inevitable.

The only reassuring thing is that there is also a bumper harvest on the Koto side. When the battle of Chibi was held, he also had a little confidence to resist Cao Ying.

As for the seven counties of Jiangxia, they are all bumper harvests. Now there is enough grain in the warehouse to eat for decades.

In addition to the bumper harvest, various affairs are also on track. The 20,000 Shanyue soldiers have been trained by Huang Zhong, but it will take a little time to go to the battlefield.

The 600,000 Shanyue people integrated into the Han people, and they also tended to stabilize. I believe that as long as a few decades pass, there will be no more Shanyue people in the seven counties.

Wuxi people are also similar to Shanyue, and the integration is very smooth. Some opposing voices have been forcefully eliminated.

The situation in Wuxi County is also good, and the continent that can go straight from Wuling to Wuxi has been built. The opening of the mineral position is also smooth.

Now every month, there is a horse, gold, silver and bronze, as well as Chu knives, arrows and other weapons, which are transported from Wuxi County to Xiling.

Yang Dun led a large number of scholars into Wuxi to educate Wuxi, and he did a good job.

The stability of the situation made Shamoke also come back, went back to the public security, led 10,000 Wuxi barbarians, and officially became a fierce general under Xu Shu's account.

In addition to these basic developments, county schools were also established in various places. Some wealthy but not particularly wealthy ordinary people sent their children and grandchildren to the county school to study.

At present, it is considered to be steaming.

In Xiling City, the highest institution of learning, Chu Xuezhong, the recruitment of bachelors in charge of teaching is almost the same. Just wait for the exam questions to be set.

Comprehensively carry out examinations for the children of the scholars in the seven counties. We recruited students.

In addition, printing has already been invented, and it is only necessary to wait for the appearance of good quality paper to print books and spread culture.

Everything is steaming.

As long as he survived the Battle of Chibi, Liu Feng was confident that he would establish a dynasty. Inherit the territory of Shu Han and enjoy some of the talents of Shu Han.

A more energetic and energetic dynasty than Shu Han.

The future must be beautiful, but Chibi is a hurdle, just in front of you.

Thinking about it, Liu Feng's eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qiao's soft voice sounded next to him, since he was pregnant, Xiao Qiao's surname has become more and more supple.

It's very cute.

Hearing this, Huan'er also set her eyes on Liu Feng, with some worry in her eyes.

Facing the second daughter's gaze, Liu Feng loosened his eyebrows and made himself look more normal, then he reached out and grabbed the second daughter, gently slapped the second daughter's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "In a few months, I will give birth, and I don't know what name to choose, it's sad." ”

Liu Feng's women are very smart, and they know that Liu Feng is lying. But I couldn't help but blush on my face, and I looked very happy.

"Let's wait until the baby is born." Xiao Qiao said softly to Liu Feng.

"Hmm." Tightening his hands, Liu Feng hugged the second daughter in his arms and nodded.

"Lord, Zhang Wei is out asking to see you." At this moment, a maid hurriedly came to the backyard and said to Liu Fengfu.

Liu Feng was in high spirits, and the high-quality paper came out.

Thinking about it, Liu Feng gently let go of the second daughter and said softly: "You sit down first, and I'll go out for a while." As he spoke, Liu Feng added: "Remember to move around more, it's good for children." ”

"Hmm." The two daughters nodded in unison, giving Liu Feng a reassuring look.

Liu Feng stood up at this time, glanced at Huang Yueying, Cai Da, Cai Yu and the two boys, and walked out.

"What happened? Could it be that something is wrong in the north? Liu Feng's sudden departure made Cai Da feel uneasy.

Cai Da and the others were also clear about the situation in the north, knowing that sooner or later there would be a war, and they judged it to be dangerous.

"Probably not." Saying that, Cai Yu smiled and said, "If there is really a war, my husband's face will not be as relaxed as it is now." ”

"Don't worry, across the Yangtze River, there are still 100,000 troops. It also won the hearts of the people. If there is such an advantage, the husband can't resist Cao Ying, then it is really unreasonable. At this time, Huang Yueying picked up Liu Chang and came over and said.

"Hmm." Cai Da felt a little relieved and nodded.

In the front yard, Liu Feng hurried to the study. Outside the study, Zhang Wei stood straight, his eyes did not squint, and he was very regular.

After the footsteps sounded, Zhang Wei turned his head and saw that it was Liu Feng, and he just wanted to salute.

Liu Feng had already come to Zhang Wei's side, and couldn't wait to say, "The paper is out." ”

"It's out." A smile appeared on Zhang Wei's face, and then, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Feng.

The paper is not very white, but it is not much better than the Caihou paper. It doesn't have the silky feeling of rice paper in your hand, and it's a little rough.

But it is very thick, and with Liu Feng's feeling, such paper should be able to print articles on both sides, and the handwriting will not be blurred due to ink penetration.

This is the kind of paper he wants, to be able to print articles and bind them into books. Become a book.

The first book in the world.

Holding the paper in his hand, Liu Feng's face showed a rare trace of excitement, and he nodded again and again: "Good paper, good paper." ”

Zhang Wei smiled implicitly, looking at Liu Feng who was excited, he felt unprecedented satisfaction.

It is difficult to say what words can say about Liu Feng's excitement and joy at this moment. After a long time, Liu Feng slowly reined in his mood, took a deep breath, and said to Zhang Wei: "Lead the way, I want to go to the workshop." ”

Workshop refers not to the workshop of papermaking, but to the workshop of printing.

Since the invention of printing, Liu Feng has ordered Zhang Wei to carve out a full page of the Analects, as well as some classics of the hundred schools of thought.

Just wait for the good quality paper to be made and published in a book.

"No." Zhang Wei responded and immediately led the way. Liu Feng followed closely. In front of the gate, Liu Feng asked Zhang Wei to take a car with him and go to the workshop.
