Obviously, because of the excellent matching mechanism of various states and counties in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, these displaced people who rose up successfully abolished the county soldiers of Guanghan County, killed Mianzhu Ling, and obtained some weapons and equipment.

Then they ascended to the heights and shouted, and the disciples who claimed to be great sages and good teachers suddenly stimulated some local people who were dissatisfied with Xi Jian and corrupt officials, and some bankrupt peasants and homeless people joined them, swept through Mianzhu, and then attacked Luo County, killing Xi Jian under the banner of revenge, and succeeded again.

It can only be said that the local military forces are even more unreliable than the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army, and Xi Jian will not do anything else except make money, and he was caught by the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army and tortured to death, which can be regarded as a crime.

Then this group of "Yellow Turban Army" began to grow, and the leader Ma Xiang and others also began to have ambitions, perhaps because they felt that the Yizhou soldiers were so weak and easy to deal with, so they attacked everywhere, and soon fought and won successes, and the troops expanded to more than 100,000, and then, they were proclaimed emperor in Qianwei County.

The expansion is also a bit fast.

And these guys don't have any military discipline, and a considerable number of them are out-of-town refugees, and there is no preferential treatment for local people.

After the initial stage of resistance to oppression, they quickly degenerated into bandits, no more disciplined than rulers.

Therefore, when Liu Bei's army recovered Mianzhu and Luo County, he found that not only the rich households, but also many common people were victimized by them, and their food and property were robbed, and some people were robbed of their wives and daughters.

After recovering Luoxian, Liu Bei began to march to Chengdu, preparing to rest in Chengdu for a day or two, and then launch an attack on Qianwei County.

He originally thought that the Yellow Turban Army was huge and it should be safer to need a little more troops, but now it seems that it doesn't take too many troops to deal with them at all, and he brought five battalions into Shu, which is really a bit of a chicken killing knife, and one or two battalions are enough.

Forget it, it's about training.

After he led the troops to Chengdu, Gao Wei, the county guard of Shu County, led people out of the city for thirty miles to greet Liu Bei, greeted Liu Bei with grand courtesy, praised Liu Bei's great martial arts, and then presented gifts and gifts to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei accepted them all, talked and laughed with Gao Wei, and was very friendly to him.

During the conversation, Liu Bei learned that Gao Yu was from Chen Liu, and he was born in Chen Liu's Gao family.

Chen Liugao's family is not a small family, but a relatively famous local family, and most of the family members are officials and have great energy.

And what's interesting is that Yuan Shao's wife was born in Chen Liugao's family, and his eldest son Yuan Tan was born in Gao's family.

Gao Wei himself is an elegant middle-aged man, it is said that he is in Shu County, he is very interested in culture and education, and when he talks to Liu Bei, he regrets why Liu Bei can't come to Yizhou to be a state pastor.

"I heard that the prince and the prince ran a state school in Liangzhou, and more than 2,000 people went to the state to study, and I was quite emotional, but unfortunately I didn't have so much money, and I didn't have the reputation of the prince, and I had the heart of Daxing culture and education, but I didn't have the ability to Daxing culture and education, if Junhou could be a Yizhou pastor, it would be such a good thing!"

As he spoke, Gao Wei sighed again and again.

Liu Bei didn't have any regrets about this, but since Gao Wei had the idea of promoting culture and education, Liu Bei felt that he could cooperate with him on the matter of bamboo paper.

It just so happens that Shu County is also a bamboo production area, if you can get the cooperation of Gao Wei, the production of bamboo paper in cooperation with it will be very smooth.

So Liu Bei took out the bamboo paper he carried with the army and showed it to Gao Wei, and told Gao Wei about the production of bamboo paper and his need for bamboo, expressing his desire to cooperate with Gao Wei.

"I want to produce bamboo paper on a large scale in Liangzhou, but I need a lot of bamboo, there is not so much bamboo in Liangzhou, but there is one in Shu, so I need bamboo in Shu very much."

Gao Wei saw the bamboo paper, wrote a few words to observe, and heard about the very cheap cost of Liu Bei's bamboo paper, and was very surprised.

"Such a good paper, but the cost is so cheap, as long as bamboo can do it, if it spreads all over the Han, isn't it a blessing for the whole Han? The prince has such a talent, what a blessing for the Han Dynasty! ”

Gao Wei admired Liu Bei's hand very much, and couldn't put it down while holding a stack of bamboo paper.

So Liu Bei took more bamboo paper and gave it to him, and discussed with him about buying the bamboo from Shu County and going to Liangzhou to make bamboo paper.

Gao Yu agreed.

"To be able to cooperate with the prince to make bamboo paper, this is the blessing of the eye, if this thing is done, the wish of the sun also has the possibility of success, then the prince should be the benefactor of the king!"

Gao Wei immediately agreed to cooperate with Liu Bei to produce bamboo paper, and generously said that he didn't want money, and Liu Bei would cut as much bamboo as he wanted, and take it away.

Of course, if you feel that the road is far away, it is not impossible to set up a workshop for the production of bamboo paper in Shu County, right?

Gao Huan's abacus hit, and the abacus beads almost jumped on Liu Bei's face.

But Liu Bei didn't think about making money by relying on bamboo paper.

What he hoped was to spread bamboo paper throughout the Han Empire and make it an affordable product that everyone could afford, replacing bamboo slips and other expensive papers as soon as possible.

It is also a very meaningful thing for him to be able to lay the paper all over the country earlier, there is no need for him to set up a card in this matter, and it is nothing if he doesn't earn a penny.

"I didn't think about making money by bamboo paper, if bamboo paper can benefit the world, it is a great merit for me, money is really needless to mention, I am not a person who loves money, what I was worried about before is that I trust non-people, so that this exquisite art is dusty.

If you don't have enough virtue and hold power in a high position, it is a great disaster, and now I have some power, and I often feel that I am on the verge of disaster.

What I think about day and night is how to increase my virtue so that my virtue can resist the disasters brought about by excessive power, and I think about it, if I can practice the merits of great cultural and educational activities in the world, I must be recognized by the people of the world, so that I can feel at ease. ”

Liu Bei held Gao Wei's hand and poured out his heart to Gao Wei with a sincere face.

Gao Wei was amazed, and was immediately shocked by Liu Bei's noble morality, and after being shocked, he felt a deep sense of shame.

"The prince is in a high position, and he still has such virtue, and he is in the position of the county guard, and he has not made much achievements, but he still hides a despicable heart! To do this is really a shame to the world! Where is the qualification to help the Son of Heaven govern one side? ”

As he spoke, Gao Wei got up and bowed to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei held Gao Wei.

"When you see a cherished item, people will want to possess it, but there is also a distinction between cherished items, some people love money, unscrupulous means for money, and Gao Jun loves paper, obsessed with paper, I don't think this is a bad thing, so I am willing to set up a papermaking workshop in Shu County, which will be taken care of by Gao Jun.

I don't have many requirements for Gao Jun, but I hope that Gao Jun will produce a large amount of paper, a large number of cheap paper, I will also produce a large number of paper, if Gao Jun has like-minded friends, you can also entrust this papermaking technique.

Let's work together, a large number of papermaking, a large number of sales, it is best to be cheap to the point that a five-baht can buy a lot of bamboo paper, so that bamboo paper can become a cheap thing that everyone can afford, and truly benefit the world.

In this way, everyone in the world can use paper, and everyone in the world has the possibility of reading and learning words, the ancient sages hope to educate the world, and Confucius also hopes to educate the world, and with paper, there can be a foundation for educating the world, which is what I hope to see. ”
