Chapter 130 Printing and Papermaking
"As for this last Faculty of Letters, the position of dean is naturally assumed by my teacher Cai Yong, and in my discipline of Youzhou Academy, there will definitely not only be Confucianism, astronomy, geography, poetry and songs, arithmetic, military, agriculture, all of which should be there, can you have any objections?"
"It's all at the command of the Lord." Everyone shouted at the same time. After all, they naturally would not object to something like the academy that benefits the country and the people. As for the problem of so many disciplines, after Liu Yao said this just now, they naturally have no objection, after all, each discipline has its own intentions, and all of them are indispensable.
"Lord Qi, this academy is not a problem in terms of money, but this gentleman's problem is ......," he said with some hesitation. After all, there are really not many of these teaching gentlemen in Youzhou.
"You can rest assured that the public is doing this." Liu Yao said, and then looked at Cai Yong, "I still need to trouble you in this matter, teacher." β
"Yao'er, don't worry, I'm writing to invite my friends and protΓ©gΓ©s to come to Youzhou to participate in the opening of our Youzhou Academy." Cai Yong assured. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"Then thank you, teacher."
Immediately, Liu Yao said to Fu Zhu, "Gonghe, after that time, you can start looking for a conspicuous place, and you will see the completion of our Youzhou Third Courtyard within three months." And spread the news of our Youzhou Academy to all parts of the Han Dynasty. After all, these three months are enough time for Cai Yong's friends to come to Youzhou. And Cai Yong's influence alone is naturally not enough, so with Liu Yao's current reputation, it is almost the same.
"No." Frustrated, he promised. These three months are definitely more than enough time.
Seeing this, Liu Yao said confidently and mysteriously, "On the day of the opening of the academy, I will also give a big gift, and at that time, the reputation of my Youzhou Academy will definitely be able to overpower the Yingchuan Academy and the academy in Jingzhou." β
Everyone looked at Liu Yao's appearance, and their hearts couldn't help but surge. They naturally believed in Liu Yao's words, after all, Liu Yao had already created too many miracles.
"If there is nothing to do, then the meeting will be dismissed and everyone will do their own thing. Mo Lao, Deheng, the two of you stay for a while, I still have something to discuss with you. Liu Yao waved his hand and said casually.
"No." Everyone listened to the order and all dispersed, after all, they were in high positions and had a lot of things to do. Of course, there is another person who has a dead face. That is naturally Guo Jia, the second idler in Youzhou. As for the first idler, there is no doubt that it is Liu Yao himself. Liu Yao didn't say anything about it. After all, Guo Jia's mouth is still tight, and he won't leak this secret. In case there will be no more surprises.
"Mo Lao, Deheng, Fengxiao, come and take a look at this thing." Liu Yao took out the drawings of papermaking and movable type printing from his sleeve.
The three of them curiously took the drawings and pondered them.
"Lord...... This...... It's really exactly what the drawings say!! Guo Jia looked shocked and stumbled.
Liu Yao nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, the paper made according to this method is not only easy to write, but also inexpensive." In this way, it can be made into a book. This kind of book is completely devoid of the weight of the bamboo slips in the past. And this movable type printing technology can print such books in large quantities, with these two treasures, we can't think of being famous in Youzhou Academy. β
"My lord, and this paper will definitely be favored by the family, and we will be able to make a lot of money when the time comes." Guo Jia said with a wicked smile.
Liu Yao couldn't help but laugh wickedly when he heard this. Liu Yao meant the same. In addition to the paper used in Youzhou, other papers and books will naturally be sold at a high price at that time. How can those big families let go of such treasures, they are all very rich, how can Liu Yao be worthy of himself if he doesn't want to scavenge it.
"The Lord is really a man of God. This method can really be an invention that has been passed down through the ages. Even my ancestor is definitely not as good as you. Mo Tian couldn't stop admiring. He and Guo Jia and Liu Yao's starting points for seeing things are also different. He was concerned with the magic of the paper.
Liu Yao couldn't help but think in his heart, "This is the second of the four great inventions of ancient China, how can it not be famous through the ages." β
"I don't know if Mo Lao and Deheng can be sure to make it." Liu Yao asked.
Mo Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "Lord, your drawings are written so clearly, if I haven't been able to make it, then the old man, I'm really ashamed of the ancestor of the Mo family." And Ma Jun also nodded at the same time, agreeing with Mo Tian's opinion.
Liu Yao couldn't help but be dumbfounded. There is a benefit to the drawings that come out of this ancient book. That's very detailed. The material required for this paper, the proportion. There are also the clay characters in this movable type printing, the proportion of this clay, how to burn paper, all written clearly bit by bit. No wonder Mo Tian looked the same when he heard it.
"Then this qiΔ will be handed over to Mo Lao, I hope that before the establishment of Youzhou Academy, more books can be printed." Liu Yao said.
"I will live up to the trust of my lord." Mo Tian and Ma Jun clenched their fists at the same time and said firmly. After saying that, the two of them left the General's Mansion and began to prepare for these things.
"Lord, can you give me a copy of this book when it comes out?" Guo Jia said with a shy face. He was also extremely curious about this thing. It's amazing to be able to put all the content that can be recorded in dozens of bamboo slips into one small book. And he also likes to read books since he was a child, otherwise he wouldn't have used the effect of Wushisan to read books when he was a child.
Liu Yao looked at Guo Jia funny, "This first book doesn't have your share, it is naturally for my teacher this Cai Yong, as for this second book......" Liu Yao deliberately listened to it, intending to tease Guo Jia.
Sure enough, Guo Jia listened to Liu Yao's words, not only his heart was pinched.
Immediately, Liu Yao said with some sternness, "As long as you can follow Hua Lao to recuperate well in the past few months, and by the way, pull Zhicai along, I can consider it then." β
"Thank you, my lord, Jia will definitely obey my lord's orders." Guo Jia said with a hippie smile. But I was still very moved by Liu Yao's concern in my heart.
"You......" Liu Yao looked at Guo Jia funny, and then returned to the inner hall without looking back. Guo Jia was left alone, not knowing what he was thinking.
Two months passed quickly. In the past two months, with Liu Yao's full support, the Third Courtyard of Youzhou has stood on a large vacant land in the north of Jixian County. And not far from the edge of these three courtyards, that is where the military camp is located, which shows that Liu Yao attaches great importance to the three courtyards of Youzhou.
However, the institute and the medical school were not opened together with the academy because they were not very valued, and they were officially established half a month ago. After Liu Yao sent the news, there were many craftsmen, and Lang Zhong came to Youzhou to join the two courtyards. There are also many local young people in Youzhou who are more interested in these two things to join these two houses. For a time, the medical school and the research institute have also had a considerable scale. After all, Liu Yao's salary is not low, and the apprentices are all enrolled for free.
At present, there are more than 300 people in Langzhong, large and small, and more than 500 apprentices studying medicine, and the scale is still expanding. After these people grow up, the death rate in Youzhou will be greatly reduced.
