Yecheng, the palace of the king of Wei.

Lin Chuan and his party finally arrived in Yecheng and came directly to the Wei Palace.

Cao Cao was very happy to see Lin Chuan and Cao Jie, and held a banquet in the Wei Palace that night to wash the dust for Lin Chuan and Cao Jie.

In addition to Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao were all present at the banquet.

In the past two years, the entire Great Wei has entered a period of stable development, and this year is even more smooth, so the civil and military generals from the prefectures at the head of the town have also returned to Yecheng for the New Year.

Cao Cao also needed them to personally report to him on the current situation in the states.

At this time, the banquet in the Wei Palace had just begun, and everyone had not seen each other for a long time, and they were busy greeting each other.

After the greetings, everyone's topic shifted to Lin Chuan.

"Hanzhong Hou, Youzhou's things are really beautiful!"

Cheng Yu and Lin Chuan mentioned the sale of cotton clothes and quilts by the Youzhou Branch, and praised Lin Chuan.

Cao Cao got Cheng Yu's report and knew that he had exchanged more than 1,000 horses from the Xianbei people this time, and he was also very happy and said:

"Mr. Lin grasped the timing just right, this time he took a piece of meat from the Xianbei people, hahaha."

After Lin Chuan heard Cheng Yu and Cao Cao's praise, he smiled modestly:

"I just gave this plan to Liu Zichu, but I didn't expect that with the help of Master Cheng, this plan went very smoothly."

After Xun Yu, Xiahoudun and others listened to Cheng Yu and Cao Cao's words, they were also curious about what Lin Chuan had done in Youzhou.

Xu Chu couldn't wait to ask Lin Chuan:

"Hanzhong Hou, I don't know what good things happened in Youzhou?"

Lin Chuan's cheekiness was not kind enough to brag about himself in front of everyone, so he said to Xu Chu:

"I was still in Hanzhong at the time, and I didn't know much about the specifics. Master Cheng is in Youzhou, can you please clarify your doubts? ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he smiled and said to everyone:

"Okay, since everyone is interested in this matter, I will tell you about the arrangements of the Marquis of Hanzhong in Youzhou."

Then Cheng Yu told everyone present that Lin Chuan arranged for Liu Ba to first promote cotton clothes and quilts in Youzhou before winter, and that after winter, he used these cotton clothes and quilts to exchange a batch of horses from the Xianbei people.

"In the end, Xianbei Kebi Nengbu and Xianbei Budu Root also clashed because of this batch of cotton clothes and quilts."

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, everyone asked about the details of the battle between the two Xianbei.

Cao Cao only spoke at this time:

"The conflict between Kebineng and Budugen is just a show for this king."

Everyone here is a person who understands everything, and when they heard what Cao Cao said, plus Cheng Yu's previous words, they had already guessed the conflict between the two Xianbei in their hearts.

Then Cao Cao continued:

"Great Wei is getting stronger and stronger now, and Xianbei people are seeking self-preservation, so they take this opportunity to show that they have no ambitions."

"But no matter what the Xianbei people do, they can't afford to make any waves in the hands of Great Wei!"

Everyone at the table felt Cao Cao's momentum of looking down on the world, and they all raised their glasses to each other.

"Da Wei is strong, how can I worry about it!"

"King Wei is wise, and Great Wei is like the sky!"

"Respect the King of Wei, respect the Great Wei!"

It was another round of staggering, and the atmosphere of the dinner became more and more cheerful.

Cao Cao drank very much tonight, and he was a little drunk, and he pulled Lin Chuan beside him and said with a smile:

"Mr. Lin can stay in Yecheng for a little longer this time?"

Cao Cao wanted his daughter Cao Jie to live in Yecheng for a while, and second, he wanted to discuss with Lin Chuan the next development focus of Great Wei.

Lin Chuan also happened to mention to Cao Cao the application and development of movable type printing.

At present, all the reports of the Hanzhong branch in various states and counties, as well as the notices and official documents of the government, are basically printed by movable type printing.

But the power of movable type printing was far from being realized.

Just take this opportunity to explain to Cao Cao his next plan.

"King Wei, I came to Yecheng this time, I plan to stay in the palace of King Wei for a long time, I hope King Wei will not dislike it."

Lin Chuan directly agreed to Cao Cao's request, and Cao Cao was also very happy and said:

"Hahaha, Mr. Lin can stay in the Wei Palace for as long as he wants."

Then everyone toasted again, and the feast did not end until midnight......

Three days later.

Lin Chuan only came to the side hall of Cao Cao's office at this time.

Two days ago, because Cheng Yu and others had to report the situation in each state to Cao Cao first, Lin Chuan was not in a hurry to tell Cao Cao about his plan.

Now that Cao Cao had listened to everyone's reports, Lin Chuan came to explain to Cao Cao that his plan was just right.

"Mr. Lin, sit."

Cao Cao smiled at Lin Chuan.

"King Wei, I came to you this time to tell you about the follow-up arrangements for movable type printing."

Cao Cao had a lot of ideas about movable type printing before, but he was busy with affairs at the time, so the matter was put on hold.

At this time, when he heard Lin Chuan mention movable type printing again, he couldn't help but be immediately interested.

"Mr. Lin, please speak, this king listens!"

Cao Cao said to Lin Chuan seriously.

Then Lin Chuan began to talk about his thoughts and plans.

"King Wei, I remember the last time I came to Yecheng, I mentioned to you the changes that movable type printing will have on the future of Great Wei."

"Yes, this king remembers that Mr. Lin said before that after the promotion of movable type printing, more people in the world will have the opportunity to read."

When Cao Cao heard that Lin Chuan mentioned the first offering of movable type printing, he immediately recalled Lin Chuan's words at that time.

Allowing more people in the world to have the opportunity to study is a very important thing for Cao Cao, who has always been eager for talents.

"I don't know if Mr. Lin has an idea now, is he going to set up a school?"

Cao Cao asked Lin Chuan, feeling a little excited.

If we start setting up schools one day earlier, Dawei will be able to cultivate a group of talents one day earlier.

Lin Chuan also knew Cao Cao's thoughts, but he shook his head and said:

"King Wei, don't be in a hurry when it comes to opening a school."

Cao Cao also knew that he was still more anxious, so he stopped asking questions and nodded at Lin Chuan to signal him to continue talking about his plan.

Lin Chuan continued:

"If books are printed with movable type printing, I am afraid that the printed books are still in the hands of the nobles."

"And the current scholars are basically the children of the scholar family, and it is not easy to make movable type printing benefit the people."

Cao Cao knew how difficult it was to re-establish a system for selecting talents, but after listening to Lin Chuan's idea of benefiting the people, he couldn't help but ask again:

"What is Mr. Lin's plan for the benefit of movable type printing to benefit people's livelihood?"

Lin Chuan lightly spit out two words:

"Newspaper."
