Tian Fan's face kept changing, and he was weighing. His motivation for improving papermaking and inventing printing was not to make money. However, he did not expect that a seemingly simple printing technique would have such a big impact on the family and would encounter such a big challenge. With such a big impact, it's not hard to see why so many people are against it. Even, even Lu Su and Chen Deng, who have always been enlightened, are opposed.

On the other hand, however, it is precisely because there are many people who oppose it that it proves its correctness and necessity. History has proven the shortcomings of the rule of the family, from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, this chaotic hundreds of years, ruled by large and small families. Wars are frequent, and the lives of the people are miserable. Printing is a lever to pry open the ruling pattern of the family, as long as it can be played well and applied well, it can play an unexpected role.

Moreover, if you control the printing press, you can control public opinion, and the importance of public opinion is self-evident, which is very beneficial to Tian Fan. To enhance the status of craftsmen and merchants, it is inseparable from public opinion!

Thinking about it, Tian Fan's gaze gradually became firm.

He glanced at the people in the hall for a week, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm. Chen Qi, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, Liu Hong, and even Zheng Xuan, these six people are all representatives of the family. When printing appeared, they knew that it was not good for the inheritance of the family, but they still expressed their absolute support. Tian Fan didn't know what the reason was, but he thanked them.

He stood up, respectfully bowed to a few people, and said sincerely: "Gentlemen, thank you for your kindness!" ”

After a slight pause, he said: "Please forgive me for being stupid, until this moment, I will know the seriousness of the printing matter." If I had known it a long time ago, I wouldn't have come to trouble you. Please gentlemen, forget about today's matter, the matter of printing, and do your best to make it happen, and if there is any contingency, you will bear it! ”

Lu Xin is a girl with big nerves, but it doesn't mean that she is stupid. She listened to the words of several gentlemen, and naturally realized the seriousness of this matter. At this time, hearing that Tian Fan had to independently bear all the turmoil caused by printing, she worriedly grabbed the corner of Tian Fan's clothes, but did not speak.

Huang Yueying naturally heard it, and when she heard this, she said: "No, Brother Tian Fan, no!" ”

Tian Fan smiled softly at her, and said with a resolute face: "This matter started because of me, so naturally it can't affect all gentlemen." If the fame that you have earned by your lifelong diligence is tainted by my business, what face will you live? ”

Huang Yueying was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zheng Xuan's words.

I saw that the old gentleman's beard was all open, and he scolded angrily: "Boy, speak! Are we worthy of our reputation? The eldest husband knew that he couldn't do it, Kong said that he became benevolent, and Meng said that he took righteousness, as a testament to the avenue, and he did not hesitate to die, not to mention his reputation? Moreover, how can such a major event in the future be monopolized by you, an ignorant child? ”

After a few breaths, the old master glared at Tian Fan and said, "Boy, you are not allowed to come forward in this matter, just let a few of us old guys stand in front!" ”

Seeing that Tian Fan was still going to speak, Chen Qi said: "Boguang, what Kang Chenggong said is reasonable, you don't need to say much about this matter, a few of us came forward, and you still hid." ”

After a slight pause, he said, "In this regard, you are not qualified!" Those of us still have some influence, so you don't need to be involved. ”

Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "Not bad! Boguang, you are still young, your life still has a long time, don't ruin your good future because of this incident. We are all half-cut into the loess, sooner or later we will all die, and there is not much to take care of. ”

Sima Hui nodded and said, "Boguang, listen to us!" ”

After a slight pause, he looked at several gentlemen in the hall and said, "Speaking of which, all of us have to thank you!" ”

Pang Degong nodded and said, "Not bad!" Boguang, do you know what we discuss the most on weekdays in addition to learning from each other? ”

Tian Fan shook his head in confusion.

Pang Degong sighed and said, "The Yellow Turban Rebellion! The thing we discuss the most on weekdays is the Yellow Turban Rebellion! And the most important thing is why the Yellow Turban Rebellion arose, and once it arose, why it spread rapidly like a prairie fire! ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "The final result of our discussion is that because of the rule of the family! ”

Zheng Xuan nodded with a heavy heart and said, "Not bad!" Boguang, after Emperor Guangwu recovered the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was no longer the Han Dynasty before. The reason why Emperor Guangwu was able to succeed was because he was assisted by the 28 generals of Yuntai, and the 28 generals of Yuntai, and even most of the important ministers of the court at that time, were all from big families. Once they take the throne, they will naturally take care of their families, and their descendants, as the so-called one person ascends to heaven. This is the origin of the Maison. Their families are large and in high positions, and their relationship with each other is intricate, so they can naturally take care of each other and echo each other. In this way, many people from their families can be like fish in water in officialdom. Over the generations, these families controlled more and more people on the land, and their influence grew. Over the generations, a family was formed. Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were already great families such as the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family.

"The children of the family, there are indeed many extraordinary people, they have received a good education since childhood, and naturally have an innate advantage over the children of poor families. However, is there no capable person in the poor family? Not really! The previous patriarchs of each family were wise and wise, but the descendants of the later generations were not necessarily as wise as their ancestors. In the clan, there are many gentlemen.

"The Maison has been in business for many generations, controlling a large amount of land and people, and they are often not tax-paying. In this way, the burden on the common people will be increased, because there will be less land, but the burden of taxes will not be less, and one day a limit will be reached. At the same time, the family controlled the officialdom, so that the talented children of the poor families could not carry out their ambitions and speak for the common people, which naturally caused their dissatisfaction. When this dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, something will naturally happen.

"A few years before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people's lives were miserable, the power of the family family developed to the extreme, and in addition, there were natural disasters, so that the depressed Zhang Jiao raised his arms and shouted, and naturally resounded!"

After speaking, Zheng Xuan sighed and continued: "This is the final result of our people's analysis, the root cause of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is that the family is too powerful!" ”

After a slight pause, he said: "After finding the reason, we naturally want to cure it." However, we discussed it for a long time, but we still couldn't figure it out. Today......"

He looked at Tian Fan with a satisfied smile on his face and said, "Today, you have sent us such a good method!" Hehe, as long as the printing technology is promoted, the cost of learning for scholars in the world can be reduced, and the situation of the family's control of culture will be improved, and in turn, the situation of the family's control of officialdom will also be improved. It's not immediate, but, hehe, it's better than we can't think of anything! Very good, Boguang, you are very good! ”

Chen Qi smiled and said, "Boguang, don't think that this is your own business, and don't think that our families will really suffer." Hehe, in fact, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how many families were unlucky? We promoted printing and let the Maison cede some of its benefits, which would actually be good for the Maison in the long run. ”

Huang Chengyan also smiled: "Not bad! What Han Yu said is exact! This is our common aspiration. ”

Zheng Xuan nodded and said, "The old man has written books all his life and taught his disciples. In the past, whether it was a poor family or a family, as long as these disciples could be taught and had extraordinary talents, the old man would teach them. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the old man faintly felt the disadvantages of the family's rule, and when he accepted disciples, he didn't care about the poor family or the family. However, more than ten years have passed, and the old man has not been able to understand the real reason for the shortcomings of the family's rule, and most of the poor disciples he taught have no good future. It wasn't until recently, with the help of Yuan Zhuo and Decao, among others, that I was able to understand why. However, it's too late, the old man is over seventy, he is already in his prime, how many years can he live? There is already a limit to what can be done! Now, is it possible that you've shown me such a great way to do it, but you want me to stand by and watch? ”

Liu Hong also said: "Not bad! Boguang, you are still young, you can still do a lot. If we don't, as long as you're there, we have hope. So, you hide aside from this matter, just let me rush! ”

Tian Fan was so moved! He really wanted to try it at all costs, but he couldn't ignore the consequences. If he offends the entire family group, Liu Bei will definitely not be able to keep him, because Liu Bei also needs to rely on the family!

He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Since all the gentlemen have said this, then, I will not come forward!" However, our goals need to be changed! ”

After a slight pause, he said: "My original purpose was to promote printing, but now, my purpose is to make printing exist!" As the teachers said, change is a long process and cannot be achieved overnight. And luckily, I'm still young and I can afford to wait. I think that in order to control the impact of this matter for the time being, we have set a long-term goal and a short-term goal, and the short-term goal is to preserve the printing press and at the same time, to obtain the printing rights of the college's textbooks. After the scholars had an understanding of printing, we slowly increased the amount, and finally, the printing technology was popularized. What do you think, gentlemen? ”

After a few people discussed for a while, Zheng Xuan said: "Okay, in this way, this matter is not too big, and the family's resistance will be much smaller." It's just ......" he shook his head and said wistfully, "I'm afraid I won't see the day when printing will be promoted!" ”

Tian Fan comforted: "Sir, don't be sad, please believe me, I will promote printing within ten years!" ”

Looking at a few enlightened gentlemen, Tian Fan was very useful in his heart, I am not alone!
