Hearing that Wen Hou had something, Ma Jun immediately put down the wine bottle and hurriedly said: "I don't know what it is, but there is a dispatch, don't dare to refuse!" ”

Lu Bu helped Ma Jun up with a smile and said, "Deheng, don't be so serious, it's not a big deal." Ben Hou just wants you to improve the process of making paper! ”

"Improving the process of making paper?" Ma Jun was very surprised, Wen Hou actually wanted to do what he wanted to do was to improve the manufacturing process of paper. "But Cai Shangfang's method of making paper is good enough."

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "His method is better than his predecessors, but it is not good enough, and he can continue to improve." ”

Cai Lun used tree bark, hemp bark, rags, old fishing nets and other items to make paper through processes such as frustration, pounding, frying, and baking.

His improvements have greatly reduced the cost of making paper.

However, it is still too expensive for ordinary people. Even a middle-sized family is a luxury.

Because of this, most books are still recorded in bamboo rolls.

For Lu Bu in later generations, it was too hard to use bamboo rolls.

In order to improve the literacy rate and make the majority of the population literate, it is imperative to improve the paper.

What's more, it also involves the issue of grain reincarnation.

Lu Buke really hopes that paper manufacturing will be simplified, can be manufactured in large quantities, and at the same time be cheaper.

Seeing that Ma Jun was a little hesitant, Lu Bu said bewildermently: "Deheng, think about it." Cai Lun improved the manufacture of paper, and even if he was a eunuch, people all over the world were willing to sing his praises. If you improve the art of papermaking, the world's scholars will sing your praises. When the time comes, the ancestors will be honored for a hundred generations. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Jun's eyes were about to light up.

The miscellaneous items that he made before, the people in the township thought it was novel, but they were scolded by the old Confucian students for not doing their jobs, and they were sideways.

If you make better paper by yourself, then readers will know that the books they use are all made by themselves, and they will not be able to leave a name in history like Cai Shangfang!

Ma Jun immediately bowed to Lu Bu.

"If it weren't for the guidance of the prince, Deheng would have almost missed a big thing. Grass people are willing to improve papermaking! ”

When Jia Xu heard it, he was actually a little moved.

Who doesn't want this famous name that has been passed down through the ages.

But he also knew that the attainments of the Mo family's art were not very good.

Jia Xu calculated.

After all, this Mojia technique is a side-by-side way.

Troubled times have come. If he can assist the lord to make contributions and achieve great things, he can also leave a name in history, and it is also an official history like Liuhou and Taigong.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu straightened his mentality.

Lu Bu smiled at Ma Jun. "Ben Hou knew that De Heng was talented, but when he first arrived, Ben Hou was not easy to be promoted, so he asked De Heng to temporarily serve as Ben Hou's bookkeeper."

Ma Jun will be disgusted there.

He used to be a civilian, and now he is an official all of a sudden.

Even if it's just a petty official, it's still an official.

Ma Jun saluted again and said, "Deheng will also repay the general's kindness." ”

Lu Bu smiled and helped Ma Jun up, and while persuading him to drink, he told Ma Jun some of his views on improving paper.

Hearing that the general actually had a good attainment in the art of the Mo family, Ma Jun felt like he had found a confidant, and said everything he knew and thought.

Jia Xu, who is the companion, is not good at this, he can't interject many times, and listens quietly.

It's just that his eyes were full of curiosity, and he looked at Lu Bu from time to time.

It is not surprising that Ma Jun is good at the art of the Mo family. It's surprising that the lord is also good at this.

How much is the lord still hiding?

This lord city is too deep.

It's bottomless!

You must be careful in the future, and you must not be deceived by his appearance again.

Lu Bu and Ma Jun didn't talk for too long.

Lu Bu frequently persuaded him to drink, but Ma Jun was happy and did not refuse.

Ma Jun's alcohol consumption is not very good, and he is drunk and unconscious after a few glasses of wine.

Looking at Ma Jun, who was drunk, holding his thighs and talking drunk, Lu Bu was very helpless and asked the guards to send him to the wing room to live.

Jia Xu praised: "If you can improve the manufacture of paper, I am afraid that all scholars in the world will be grateful to you, General." ”

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Papermaking is just the beginning. Wen and you watch, wait for Ma Jun to improve the technique of paper manufacturing, and I will come up with another technology. Soon, literacy will no longer be controlled by the wealthy families. ”

Improving papermaking is just the beginning.

Paper can be produced in large quantities and cheaply, and printing makes sense.

With the advent of papermaking and printing, it was not easy for the family to control reading and writing.

After the Sui and Tang dynasties, with the rise of the imperial examination system.

A new class has risen!

The clerical class became more and more powerful, directly overpowering the wealthy families and becoming the largest instant interest group.

If you want to deal with the wealthy families, the scribe class will be an important pawn.

Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu in surprise.

The lord's vision is too far-reaching.

I only thought that the lord wanted to use this method to win over the scribes, to dispel the impression that he was capricious and treacherous.

didn't expect the lord to think more far-reaching, and he actually wanted to use this to break the control of the wealthy family over the inheritance of education.

Jia Xu gestured towards Lu Bu. "The general's vision is far-reaching, and the subordinate admires it!"

Lu Bu waved his hand indifferently and said, "This is not something that can be done overnight, and even how to implement it smoothly is not a small challenge. This requires Mr. Wenhe's help to carry out this benevolent government. ”

The more he got along with Lu Bu, Jia Xu found that Lu Bu's vision was extraordinary.

Even they are far inferior.

Now Jia Xu was impressed by Lu Bu's talent.

He saluted Lu Bu and said, "This is a matter within the duties of the lower officials!" ”

"Good! There is a text and help. Why worry about big things. Lu Bu patted Jia Xu on the shoulder. It's not too early. I'll send you home. Rest early, there are political matters to take care of tomorrow! ”

"Farewell to the official!"

Early in the morning, Lu Bu woke up and stretched.

Seeing that Lu Bu had gotten up, Diao Chan said to the maid: "The prince is awake, go and bring the soup in, and go and bring the porridge." ”

When the maid brought the hot water, Diao Chan stretched out her hand and kneaded the silk cloth in the hot water, and then handed it to Lu Bu. "Husband!"

Lu Bu took it and pinched Diao Chan's face.

Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu with resentment.

Lu Bu held Diao Chan in his arms. "What's wrong?"

Diao Chan's head was buried in Lu Bu's chest. "You wrongdoer, you have always said that you want to take me as a concubine. I haven't given a name yet! ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "It's not like I've been haunted by mundane things all this time. I will tell the chief to do this. ”

Diao Chan showed a smiling face at this time and waited for Lu Bu to eat breakfast.

Lu Bu returned to the main house, teased Lu Lingqi, accompanied Yan Xin to talk, and came to the general's mansion.

As soon as he sat down, Jia Xu came.

"General, Duan Xuan has sent the heads of Li Dao and Guo Yandi over. A petition was also submitted. ”

Regarding the fact that Duan Xuan would kill Li Dao and Guo Yan, Lu Bu was already mentally prepared.

He said: "Send the heads of Li Dao and Guo Yan, as well as Duan Xuan's letter of plea, to Luoyang, and ask Your Majesty to make a judgment." Let Zhang Ji take Benhou's letter to appease Duan Xuan. ”

Jia Xu approvingly held his goat's whiskers with his hand. "Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan have an old relationship, not to mention that he can better calm Duan Xuan's heart when he goes. It could not have been more appropriate for the general to do so. ”

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wenhe, don't compliment me." Let's discuss how to solve the problem of the Huns first! ”

Jia Xu heard the persuasion and said. "Lord, now is not a good time to deal with the Huns."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do it now. The surrendered Xiliang soldiers have not yet been completely absorbed, and it is not a good time to attack the Xiongnu. I want to prepare first, for example, to send people to investigate the specific situation of the Xiongnu and what strategies to use to deal with them. When is the best time to get your hands dirty. ”

Seeing that the lord was very sober, he did not become complacent because he defeated Li Dao and Guo Yan because he won more with less, and they were unstoppable.

Jia Xu was very pleased.

"What the general said is very true. The Huns had many cavalry, and it was not easy to annihilate them in one fell swoop with our 20,000 cavalry alone. In the opinion of the following officials, the general can unite with Ma Teng and Han Sui to deal with the Xiongnu. ”

Lu Bu was very surprised by Jia Xu's proposal.

"Ma Teng, Han Sui? Will they agree? What do I use to win them over? ”
