Chapter 204: Three Moves
Historically, because the power of the scholars was too strong, after Cao Pi ascended the throne, in order to maintain his rule, he had to bow to the scholars, thus introducing the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.
It is precisely because of the emergence of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system that the gate valve of the Shizu Group has developed to its heyday.
In the Jin Dynasty, with the support of all scholars, the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" finally broke out!
This incident led to the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, not to mention, but also made the land of China enter the dark age of chaos in China!
Since Yang Ling came to the world, he naturally wanted to avoid this incident.
Although it is unlikely that Cao Pi will ascend the throne again due to his appearance, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more seven-rank and eight-rank Zhongzheng system in the future.
This is why he introduced the imperial examination system in advance.
When the two returned to the mansion, Yang Ling did not delay and immediately sent someone to prepare things.
Looking at the big vat and stove in the yard, as well as mulberry bark, rattan bark, wheat stalks, rice stalks, bamboo and other messy things, Guo Zhao said with a puzzled face,
"Husband, what are you going to do?"
"Madame doesn't know, for her husband this is to make paper."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"Why does the husband want to make paper? Could it be that we are short of paper in our house? If that's not enough, you can use bamboo slips. ”
Hearing this, Guo Jia was even more foggy, her pretty face was full of doubts, and she looked more and more cute.
Seeing this, Yang Ling went up and kissed it, and then smiled,
"Queen, you just look at it."
Fortunately, Yang Ling was in Bilibili in his previous life and watched a documentary about papermaking.
He slowly walked to the middle of a pile of miscellaneous items, and while recalling the process of making paper, he commanded the subordinates in the house and began to act.
……
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.
More than a month has passed since Yang Biao was imprisoned.
During this period, Yang Xiu still refused to admit that the assassination of Yang Ling was related to his father.
In addition, there were Kong Rong and others, who kept putting pressure on Cao Cao.
In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to release Yang Biao, but for Yang Xiu, he was not soft and directly ordered to be beheaded!
this day.
After Cao Cao finished handling government affairs, seeing that it was still early, he said to Cao Ang on the side,
"It's been a while, I haven't seen Yang Ling."
Cao Ang nodded,
"Yes, I went to visit the teacher's house a few days ago, but the teacher closed the door and thanked the guests, and I couldn't see him."
"Could it be that he hasn't come up with a way to read a book that everyone in the world can read?"
Cao Cao guessed.
"It's very likely, after all, this is not a trivial matter, if you want to solve it in a short time, how is it possible?"
Cao Ang shook his head.
"What you said is very reasonable, let's go see him and persuade him not to be reluctant."
Cao Cao stood up as he spoke, and walked towards Yang Ling's mansion with Cao Ang, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and a team of guards.
Although Yang Ling claimed to be a closed-door guest, he refused to see anyone.
But Cao Cao came in person, and his subordinates didn't dare to stop them, so they hurriedly welcomed them in, and then went to inform Yang Ling.
After a while, the disgraced Yang Ling rushed to the lobby.
"I've seen the prime minister, I've seen the son."
Seeing him like this, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile,
"Why is the gentleman so embarrassed?"
"The prime minister doesn't know, and his subordinates are all here to solve problems for the prime minister."
Yang Ling is serious and authentic.
"Oh? Listening to the teacher's meaning, it seems that there is already a way to deal with it? ”
Cao Ang couldn't help but say.
"What Childe said is not bad at all, how can it be difficult for me to stump me?"
Yang Ling picked up a feather fan and shook it gently.
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly urged,
"Sir, what is your plan, please come quickly!"
"Prime minister, don't worry."
Yang Ling smiled and said to Zhao Yun on the side,
"Zilong, go and bring the books we printed to the prime minister."
"Whoa!"
Zhao Yun gave up his hand and walked away quickly.
While waiting for Zhao Yun to come back, Cao Cao looked at the feather fan in Yang Ling's hand and couldn't help but say,
"It's the middle of winter now, why does Mr. still fan it?"
"Don't you think the prime minister is so compulsive?"
Yang Ling said with a smile.
Cao Cao, Cao Ang: "......"
After a while, Zhao Yun turned back, holding a stack of books in his arms and placing them in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao picked it up and flipped through it, and the content of the book was very simple, all of which were the more common Four Books and Five Classics.
It's just the paper that is made, but it seems to be different.
"This is none other than Cai Hou paper...... No, it seems to be more durable than Caihou paper? ”
Cao Cao rubbed the book in his hand and said suspiciously.
"The lord is really discerning."
Yang Ling slapped Cao Cao's sycophant and said with a smile,
"In order to make everyone in the world afford to read, there are three moves under the genus."
"What are the three moves?"
Cao Cao and Cao Ang subconsciously asked in unison.
"Treat, beheading...... Oh no, slip of the tongue, papermaking, movable type printing, open an official school! ”
Yang Ling told his plan.
"The paper used in these books is improved by my subordinates on the basis of Cai Hou's paper."
"Compared to Caihou paper, it costs less and is easier to store and write."
"The subordinates plan to name it Mengde Paper, I wonder if the prime minister minds?"
Cai Lun was just a eunuch, and because of the improvement of papermaking, his fame increased greatly, and it has been passed down to this day.
If Yang Ling named a new papermaking technique after his own name, wouldn't it be ......
As soon as Cao Cao heard this, his breathing suddenly became short, and his face turned slightly red.
But whoever has ambitions, who doesn't want to go down in history?
This Yang Ling knows how to pat on the back!
However, after calming down, Cao Cao still shook his head and refused,
"This is the merit of the gentleman, how dare I be greedy?! Or just that! Mr. continue, what are the other two moves? ”
"The second move is movable type printing."
Yang Ling picked up the book in front of Cao Cao and asked,
"The prime minister thinks that it will take so many books to be produced, how long will it take?"
Cao Cao glanced at the dozen or so thick books, uncertain,
"It will take two days at the earliest!"
Yang Ling smiled,
"It only took half a day for my subordinates!"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao and Cao Ang almost thought that they had heard it wrong!
You must know that copying books is extremely cumbersome.
In order to keep the books clean and tidy, it is necessary to pay full attention.
Even for a person who regularly copied books, it would take two days to complete the copying of these dozen books.
How is it possible to take only half a day?
"This is the movable type printing technology invented by his subordinates!"
Yang Ling motioned to Zhao Yun to take out the character mold prepared in advance and display it in front of Cao Cao's father and son.
"First use cement to make a blank with the same specifications, engrave the reverse word at one end, and typeset it when ...... use"
Yang Ling slowly explained the method of movable type printing.
Cao Cao and Cao Ang, father and son, are extremely smart.
Just listening to what he said, I instantly understood the magic of movable type printing.
