Chapter 50: The Birth of the Thread-Bound Book

Talent is an important part of a country's comprehensive strength, even if the so-called 'country' has only a small territory.

At this moment, in Fang Yun's hands, the distribution of talents is actually quite chaotic. There are older first-generation generals like Huang Zhong and other Yellow Turban Army generals, and they have at least fifteen years of service. Of course, a large number of them have to be transferred to internal occupations such as armed police, police, and urban management.

Similarly, there are second-generation generals such as Dian Wei, Chen Tao, and Xi Zhicai. They also have the possibility of at least thirty years of service; After a dozen years, they will replace the first generation of generals and become so-called 'veterans' or 'veterans'.

Under this, there must be the so-called third-generation generals, that is, Zhou Cang and Zhao Yun. There is a possibility of at least forty to fifty years of service. As the first generation of generals changes, they will also become the second generation of generals.

After that, there will naturally be more generations of talents, who will work for their own forces from generation to generation, maintain the normal operation of this force, and have external deterrence and so on.

At this moment, the third generation is still unusable, but at least it is already a reserve of talent resources, and it has the value of training!

But if you really want to count it, the descendants of other Qu Shuai may not be male, nor may they belong to the third generation. This is actually not a big deal, and it is not impossible to add it as a second-generation general training!

What is rare is that they are all descendants of the Yellow Turban Army, and they also fully understand the cruelty of the Great Han. Their intention to rebel is firm, and their favorability towards the Yellow Turban Army is also the highest. This group of talents is used, and it is even more reassuring than ordinary talents!

With this in mind. Fang Yun is interested in finding the descendants of the Yellow Turban Army. Naturally, they are more concerned.

Month after month passed. It was the middle of November 185 A.D. With the pacification of the Xiliang rebels, Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang with a large amount of loot, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Taixiang, and he continued to return to Hedong to defend his post. With the end of this war, he recruited a large number of Qiang knights and expanded the Flying Bear Army and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Army. In addition, with scribes like Li Ru joining, his strength has increased greatly!

Among them, Sun Jian, who served as a military Sima under Zhang Wen, also stayed in Luoyang this time. Appointed as a councilor. If history had not changed, he would have gone to Changsha two years later, that is, in the fourth year of Zhongping (187), to defeat the rebel district star and become the Changsha Taishou. But before that, he still had to stay up for two years in Luoyang.

Without him, just because he had an entanglement with Dong Zhuo, the only hero of this battle, because of this, he was destined to be refrigerated by the imperial court for a period of time.

Liu Bei is another legendary journey, when he went to seek refuge with Gongsun Zhan, on the way He Jin sent Biqiu Yi to Danyang to recruit soldiers. When Liu Bei heard this, he changed his route to join the army, and made a meritorious contribution to the crusade against thieves in Xiapi. He was appointed as the county governor of Xiami. I don't know if I was not convinced, I gave up my official position after only three months, and then I don't know if I took Lu Zhi's path and served as Gao Tang Lieutenant.

At least, there are no new changes for the time being, and it seems that I am quite satisfied with this position. But according to the historical trajectory, he will soon be promoted to Gao Tang Ling, and soon after that, because Gao Tang was broken by thieves, he had no choice but to take the original scheduled route, go to Youbeiping to join Gongsun Zhan, and become a military Sima.

And Cao Cao is the hardest working of the three. Not only did he quit drug addiction, but he also showed his skills in Jinan. The local officials were attached to the powerful, corrupted the law, and had no scruples, and as soon as he came to power, he began to work hard to solve this problem.

For a time, the entire Jinan country was clear, and the people did not leave the road behind and did not close their doors at night. For Cao Cao, he has been loved by the people here. It's just that Cao Cao's move has also aroused a lot of resentment and set up a lot of enemies.

At this stage, it is not obvious, according to the historical process, he will be appointed as the Taishou of Dongjun. However, it was the place where the Yellow Turbans were most wreaking havoc, and it seemed that they were sending him there with the intention of killing people with a knife...... And he was not stupid, he directly returned to his hometown under the pretext of illness and lived a semi-secluded life.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Fang Yun, it's just that as the founder (or founder's father) of the future Three Kingdoms, his every move has naturally been noticed. Seeing that they had their own chances, but they didn't mix well, Fang Yun was very satisfied with this.

After more than half a year, the smuggling routes operated by themselves have become very mature, and at the same time, the prosperity of Xinhuang County has been newly improved. At one point, the commercial value was increased to 370, and the development level was 470.

One of the side quests was completed, and a random process drawing was obtained, and the design drawings of the printing machine were there. I don't know if I'm really so lucky, or if the system deliberately let myself be drawn. You must know that the craftsmen of the territory have been thinking about it for a long time, but they can't come up with a set of qualified drawings.

The side quests are also refreshed, and the next step is to increase the business value to 500 points, which doesn't seem to be difficult. Interestingly, the quest reward is also a random craft blueprint.

As for the main quest part, after Fang Yun considered it, he discharged Yu Xing, a real diplomatic talent. After more than half a year of hard work, several county towns outside the Taihang Mountains have completed the pacification work of at least three county seats. By ceding part of their interests and threatening to use force, they force the other side to give up their coveting of the border trade market.

It's just the last county seat, but the county order of the county is a stone in the pit - it smells and is hard!

Yu Xing has already begun to think of a way, but Fang Yun believes that the only possibility to really complete this task is to find a way to take the route of an agent and find a way to turn the county into his own territory!

What really deserves his concern is that after more than half a year of exploration, with the official production of the printing press, the ink and movable type have also been produced. After more than ten formula improvements, the ink can be evenly fed into the paper and is difficult to fade.

In terms of movable type, it was originally intended to use lead movable type, but later after further technical reforms, ceramic movable type was produced. Later, an accident led to the invention of porcelain movable type. At the same time, Fang Yun also opened a porcelain workshop specializing in making all kinds of porcelain utensils for sale.

Today, porcelain is still relatively niche, only fired in a few regions, and it has not yet become popular. The style is also relatively monotonous, and there may be workmanship problems, so it is not recognized by most of the gentry. And Fang Yun can only find a way to let the craftsmen below continue to improve the recipe and improve the production process, and then make beautiful porcelain for sale.

With the successful completion of movable type, ink, new paper, and printing presses, the first edition of the Analects began to be printed.

After a day of typesetting and printing, the first copy of the Analects was printed and bound in twine. At this point, the first line-bound book in history was officially born.

The moment it was born, she directly became a peerless beauty, and was touched again and again by Xi Zhicai and other scholars, and finally even cried while stroking. But more than that, it's joy from the heart......

"Sons, print the book for your father!" Fang Yun checked it carefully, confirmed that there was no problem, and officially announced it.

"Lord Shengming!" Under the leadership of Xi Zhicai, a group of literati sincerely bowed. (To be continued......)
