Jian Yong spent more than half an hour refuting most of the charges fabricated by Xu Yan, and in the end, there were only two left, but he didn't speak. One is printing, and the other is a matter of papermaking. The reason why I didn't say these two items was because Jian Yong knew the fate of these two items.

Needless to say, printing was a threat to the family, and papermaking was attacked because it was too attractive. Since the Tian family's paper went on the market, Jian Yong has been deeply benefited by it, and he believes that everyone here is also deeply benefited by it, and the huge profits it contains are understood by everyone here.

And second, papermaking is indeed a bit of a suspicion of competing with the people! As soon as papermaking comes out, those who can use paper will no longer use wooden bamboo slips, and those who use wooden bamboo slips in this era are rich people, and people without money can't read. Rich people don't care about spending more money on better paper. That is to say, as soon as the paper comes out, few people will use wooden bamboo slips, and of course, the paper must be supplied. In this way, the lives of countless people who make a living by making wooden bamboo slips will not be sustainable.

However, then again, all the workshops that make wooden bamboo slips are controlled by the wealthy families. The so-called competition with the people is true, but in fact, it is also competing with the family. To put it bluntly, the fundamental reason why these people regard papermaking as one of Tian Fan's crimes is that their own interests have been damaged. Human nature is greedy, and Tian Fan's brewing and soap business was precisely because of cooperation with everyone, which ensured that it could be launched normally.

Jian Yong didn't understand why Tian Fan didn't take the same way as winemaking and soap when developing the paper industry. Perhaps, he has some deep considerations, right?

Third, that is, the one that everyone attacked, there was indeed a problem with papermaking, the sewage discharged from the papermaking workshop was black and smelly, and the people a few miles downstream of Surabaya were frightened, and they had already reported the situation to the Tian family and Liu Bei, so Tian Fan couldn't run away from this crime!

Jian Yong bombarded indiscriminately, and few people dared to stand and wait for him to spray, and almost all the two hundred or so people who were standing sat down obediently.

Liu Bei was happy, although he tried his best to suppress it, he still put on a look of joy and anger, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Chen Qun and Chen Gong were unhappy, they never thought that the first wave of attacks launched by the chariots and horses against Tian Fan today would end in such a situation.

Xu Shu, Liu Ye, Shi Tao, Sun Gan, Zhuge Jin, Chen Deng and others were happy, Xu Shu secretly made up his mind that as soon as this matter was over, he would definitely visit Jian Yong, and said that he would persuade him to stay in Xiapi and be Tian Fan's strong reinforcement.

As soon as Jian Yong's words stopped, Liu Bei faked a cough, attracting everyone's attention, and said: "Boguang's matter, after some analysis by Xianhe, I don't think it's anything, Xu Ci and the others are a little alarmist." Well, according to the Han law, the false accuser sits on the back, and everyone in the hall will be resided, but ...... For the sake of your faithfulness, how about it be better to leave this matter at that? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”

Liu Bei smiled and nodded again and again.

At this time, a very discordant voice sounded, "Lord, slow down!" ”

Everyone looked at it, but it was the sheep secret, a subordinate official of the General's Mansion!

I only listened to Yang Mi said: "My lord, many of the charges listed by Xu Wenxue have been refuted by Mr. Xianhe, and Weichen also thinks that those are mostly fictitious and dispensable crimes, but there are two still existing, one is papermaking, and the other is printing, no matter what, these two charges General Baihu can't escape!" I don't know what the lord plans to do? ”

Liu Bei smiled and pulled down with a "quack", and said unhappily: "Sheep secret, do you have something to say?" ”

Yang Mi nodded, and said sadly: "Lord, my three brothers of the Yang family and Zhao Ji grew up together since childhood, although they are not biological brothers and sisters, emotionally, they are no different from their own children, and even surpassed. After Boguang and Zhaoji got married, he was our brother-in-law, and he was also a relative, and my second brother was still serving in the White Tiger Legion. Just ......"

He let out a long sigh and said, "Just if I abandon my duties because of this incense situation, what face will I have to see my lord and colleagues?" How to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth? I'm afraid that when I die, I won't be able to see my father's face! When my father was alive, he often taught us to be loyal to the Han family and to take the world as our own responsibility. So, I can only choose to be faithful to my lord! ”

After a slight pause, he said: "Printing and papermaking, these two things must be dealt with impartially, otherwise it will be difficult to close the mouth of the world, and there will be great damage to the image of the lord who loves the people like a son. ”

After saying that, he gave a deep salute, tears in his eyes, and waited for Liu Bei to speak.

I have to say that this guy is very good at acting, tears are flowing out, he is indeed a talent!

Hearing him mention Yang Xu, everyone couldn't help but be in awe, and even Liu Bei couldn't wait to ignore it.

Jian Yong sighed silently, thinking to himself, Boguang, Boguang, I have done everything I can, and I can't do anything about the rest.

Liu Bei is embarrassed again! He had heard Tian Fan mention papermaking and printing more than once, and he knew that Tian Fan attached great importance to these two, and now that the situation in the hall had changed, it was impossible for these people to convict Tian Fan of any crime, but Tian Fan had to give up papermaking and printing, and it was estimated that Tian Fan would not be happy.

At this moment, a voice came in, "Don't think twice, don't be careful, papermaking and printing have great contributions to all the people in the world, which can be called unique, and Boguang has no fault!" ”

The voice was old, with a hint of trembling, and it was clear that the speaker was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

Everyone looked at the door and saw three old men with gray hair and beards and a few middle-aged people coming together.

After seeing the looks of several people clearly, Liu Bei hurriedly stood up and walked around the hall, walked in front of a few people, saluted respectfully, and said, "I've seen a few gentlemen!" Several gentlemen are coming, ready to miss the welcome, I hope the gentlemen will forgive their sins! ”

The leading people in the hall also followed, saluting a few people in a chaotic manner.

These people have a lot of backgrounds, they are a few gentlemen in Wangshan Academy, the three old men are Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong, Chen Qi, and several middle-aged people are Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, Guan Ning and others.

Zheng Xuantie blushed, didn't look at the officials from all walks of life who came to see him, stared at Liu Bei, snorted coldly, and said, "General, how dare the old man be such a big gift?" The general should get up, lest the old man lose his life! ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, why is this so awkward? Didn't I offend the old master?

He was busy with caution, bowed over and said with a smile: "Kang Chenggong is a great Confucian admired by the world, in front of Mr., there is no general, only Liu Bei, who is ready to study at the end of the year, so he naturally wants to make this great gift!" ”

Zheng Xuan's face improved slightly, nodded, and said, "Xuande, get up!" ”

Liu Bei respectfully saluted again, then got up and said, "Kang Chenggong, gentlemen, please take a seat!" ”

Zheng Xuan said: "Wait! ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Sir, please speak!" ”

Zheng Xuan glanced at him and said, "Xuande, it is said that today is the day of the big gathering, and all the officials who come here are officials from all walks of life in Xuzhou.......

He glanced at the people in the hall for a week, and said coldly: "I heard that you want to cure Boguang's sin today, the old man is very puzzled, so he relies on the old man to sell the old, and appears at this time that should not appear, I only hope that Xuande can explain clearly, why do you want to cure Boguang's sin!" ”

The people in the hall were dumbfounded, these gentlemen came here, is it because of Tian Fan's business?

Liu Bei looked at them for a while, Sima Hui seemed to understand what he meant, nodded slightly, and explained: "Yes, we rushed here because we heard about it!" General, Boguang is your general, it is said that your punishment of his crime has nothing to do with us, but our gang and Boguang either have the reality of master and apprentice, or have the friendship of Weng and son-in-law, or have a friend who has forgotten the year, or have been friends for a long time, he is our optimistic junior, and we have to care about him. So, please give us an explanation! ”

Liu Bei's heart was turbulent, listening to the meaning of several gentlemen, they heard that Boguang was going to be punished, so they rushed over from hundreds of miles, looking at Kang Chenggong's face, looking at the dust on their clothes, they knew that they came all the way. Zheng Xuan is over seventy years old, and he even disregarded physical fatigue for Tian Fan, this is not a big feeling!

Unexpectedly, several gentlemen have such deep feelings for Boguang!

He suppressed the waves in his heart, smiled and saluted, and said, "Hehe, gentlemen, Bei can give a few people a clear word now, Bei has never thought of curing Boguang's sin!" It's just ......" After a slight pause, he simply said the whole thing, and said: "The current matter comes down to printing and papermaking, as long as this matter is solved, Boguang will be fine!" ”

When Zheng Xuan and the others heard this, their hearts relaxed slightly, but when they thought about it, they turned blue one by one! Printing again, is there an end? And let the other people stop?

Zheng Xuan said angrily: "Printing? What happened to typography? Xuande had already given an order, the printing process was supervised by the General's Mansion, and only 5,000 sets of each book were printed, what more do you want? In addition to the needs of the academy and the general's mansion, these 5,000 sets can't make up for the gap of the Xuzhou family, and it is impossible for them to flow into the homes of ordinary people, what else do you want? Do you have to completely disappear from the world of printing to be reconciled? ”

Seeing that he was trembling with anger and his body was shaking, Guan Ning and Huang Chengyan hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Zheng Xuan struggled to shake them off and roared angrily, "What the hell do you want to do? Do you want to be angry with the old man? ”

Zheng Xuan, in the eyes of the people of the world, is a god-like being! The war at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty caused serious losses to the Confucian classics, and later after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, many so-called Confucian classics and ideas emerged at once, but most of them were fake, which also led to the confusion of Confucianism and the mixing of systems and even self-contradiction. This situation continued until the time of Zheng Xuan, who removed the coarse and refined from the vast and mixed so-called classics, and poured all over the classics, forming a Confucian school of great weight - metaphysics! There are many students of metaphysics, and they have an unusually strong influence in this era.

As soon as they saw that the old man was furious, everyone in the hall was silent, Chen Qun and the others did not dare to raise their heads one by one, but Xu Shu and the others were completely relaxed.

Chen Qun is a little pretentious, Chen Qi is also a time-honored celebrity, but he dares not to listen to Chen Qi's persuasion, but he doesn't dare not give Zheng Xuan face in person!

Liu Bei hurriedly persuaded: "Kang Chenggong, please calm his anger, and declare Boguang innocent now, the printing technique is still done according to the method we have discussed a long time ago, and it is still 5,000 sets." As for papermaking, this matter will have to wait for Boguang to come and then discuss, after all, the sewage in the papermaking workshop is smelly, which makes the people in the lower reaches of the coast frightened. ”

Zheng Xuan took a few deep breaths, his face improved a lot, he nodded slightly, and said, "Xuande, you handled it well!" Don't ignore the people because of our unreasonable old puppets, okay, you're good! ”

Liu Bei was praised by him, and suddenly felt that his bones were lighter, and he hurriedly said: "Hehe, if you are in charge of the government, you will naturally have to take the people under your rule to your heart, these are all things that should be prepared, and you can't be praised by Mr. ”

Zheng Xuan nodded slightly, and did not continue the topic, he glanced at everyone in the hall for a week, his eyes were like a torch and like substance, none of those who were higher than Tian Fan dared to look at him. When he looked at the sheep secret, he paused intentionally, and the sheep secretary was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head to dodge. When it comes to Yang Xu, these people in the hall have to give some face, but Zheng Xuan doesn't have to, even if Yang Xu is still alive, he can't fight with Old Man Zheng, not to mention that now he is just the eldest son of Yang Xu, a little sheep secret?

Zheng Xuan snorted coldly and said, "I will tell Boguang about papermaking, and it's a big deal to let him change to a sparsely populated place." As for the printing ......" paused slightly, he sneered: "From today onwards, the printing technology will be transferred to the old man's name, and the old man wants to see who will still have a fight with the old man!" ”

Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, and Pang Degong stepped forward, and Sima Hui said: "Kang Chenggong, the three of us and Boguang have the name of master and apprentice, we should come out!" ”

Liu Hong took a step forward and said, "The old man and Boguang have the truth of Weng's son-in-law, it should be me who comes!" ”

Chen Qi and Guan Ning also stepped forward, vying to crown the printing technology with their own brand.

Several old men fought for each other, and they all lost their usual cultivation, and everyone in the hall was stunned.

Chen Gong watched several people scramble, and shook his head secretly in his heart, from then on, printing technology has become an untouchable high-voltage line for them. However, the deep-seated influence of printing is too great, and Chen Gong's dare not touch it does not mean that no one will dare to touch it in the future. Hey, for Tian Fan, these people are really willing to spend their money!

Liu Bei saw that they were making trouble, and hurriedly said: "A few gentlemen, please listen to a word!" ”

A few people quietly looked at Liu Bei, only to hear him say: "Boguang has an extraordinary relationship with several gentlemen, in case it seems that it will be difficult for him to choose whose name he will put in the printing technique." In this case, why not compromise and put printing under the name of Wangshan Academy, I don't know if this is good? ”

A few gentlemen discussed it for a while, so the risk was relatively small, after all, Wangshan Academy had a great influence, and not everyone could overthrow it, so they agreed.

At this moment, Liu Bei completely let go of his thoughts, and Tian Fan finally passed this level!

He hurriedly brought a few gentlemen to their seats to rest, and let people serve wine, meat, food, and so on.

As soon as the arrangements were made, I saw Qin Yi trotting into the house, clasping his fists and saying: "Lord Qiqi, there is a mourning team outside the gate of the General's Mansion, claiming to be the family of Sun Kai, the county commander of Lu County, and they are complaining that General Baihu killed Sun Kai, and they are crying outside the General's Mansion!" The last general persuaded them not to listen, but said that General Baihu killed Sun County's order, and he must see the lord to express his grievances, and ask the lord to decide! ”

The people in the hall who had just slowed down their nerves suddenly became nervous again!

ps: There's been a lot of things lately, and I'm not quiet, and I feel that this paragraph is also difficult to write, and I haven't figured out how to write, so I'm sorry for the delay so far. Happy New Year to the beginning of the new year! Everything will go well in the coming year, the family will be happy, and everything will go well!
