Outside Chang'an City, there is a private house about four or five, which is Ma Jun's research place.

Before I got closer, a pungent smell came to my face.

This smell made Xun You and Jia Xu frown, and they didn't want to go in.

Lu Bu didn't care.

During the Anti-Japanese War, I slept with the dead, rolled through the mud piles, and stayed in an underground gunpowder factory that smelled even worse.

This kind of occasion is trivial.

Seeing that the lord had entered, Xun You and Jia Xu could only follow in.

Sheets of wet pulp with a little ash are spread out in bamboo baskets and pushed into the steamer.

After drying, it will be taken to the room to dry thoroughly.

If the paper is rough, you need to brush it with a special brush.

Hearing that Wen Hou was coming, Ma Jun hurried out.

His hair was a little messy, his clothes were smudged, his hands were burned, and there were many scars between his fingers.

It can be seen that he has worked very hard to improve the paper manufacturing technology during this time.

"Deheng, how is the paper improving?"

Ma Jun shook his head and said, "It's better than Cai's, but it's not as cheap and easy to use as the general described." ”

After saying that, he asked people to take out the several kinds of paper that had been made.

"General, this is freshly made paper. Look at it. ”

Lu Bu picked up the paper and tried the feel, which was more snow-white than the hemp paper of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time felt better.

"What do you think?"

Xun You also used hemp paper, and he praised: "It's much better than the used paper." How much is a piece of this kind of paper? ”

Ma Jun thought for a while and said, "This ...... I haven't counted it, but it costs a dozen or twenty dollars a piece! ”

Xun You said happily: "So cheap? If you can really buy such a large one for ten or twenty dollars, then many people can use this paper. ”

The paper was about eight feet long and seven feet wide.

If you cut it down, you can make at least two or three calligraphy, which is much better than a bamboo roll.

Jia Xu also nodded and said, "If it can be made in large quantities, it will be good news for people all over the world." ”

Lu Bu poured a basin of cold water.

"This kind of paper can't be used, at least a penny is qualified?"

These papers are only crude, and they are not at all the high-quality rice paper that I used in my previous life.

This kind of paper costs more than ten or twenty dollars, which is still too expensive.

Jia Xu said in surprise: "A penny? Will this really work? ”

Lu Bu replied affirmatively, "Okay." Absolutely, as long as you find a way, you can definitely make it. ”

Ma Jun also nodded and said, "The general proposed to try it with bamboo." I've been trying to make it from bamboo for a while, but how to crush bamboo, pulping is a big problem, it's not as easy to crush and pulp as hemp. ”

Lu Bu encouraged: "Try more, try boldly." Recruit more people to study together, and don't be afraid to spend money. If you don't have enough money, report it. Got it? ”

Ma Jun said: "Xiaguan understands. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Make the paper, Benhou will be rewarded." Take out all the freshly made paper, I'll be of great use and take it with me. ”

"Yes."

Thousands of pieces of paper were taken away in bullock carts.

Back at the General's Mansion, Lu Bu looked at the bamboo scrolls of the Four Books and Five Classics, and wrote them on the paper with punctuation marks according to the scriptures he had read in later generations.

This is not an easy task.

After writing one, he sent someone to post it on the outer wall of Chang'an Academy and sent soldiers to guard it.

You can only see, not come closer.

Seeing that people posted it, many people watched.

However, in this era, illiteracy is generally common.

Reading and literacy is very respectable.

The people pointed to the paper and said, "Do you know what is written on the paper?" New decree? ”

"I don't know! I don't understand! ”

"Who knows? I thought about it. ”

After waiting for a while, a Confucian heard a voice and came over.

He looked at the words on the paper.

Oh. It turned out to be the Analects of the sages.

But it seems to be very different from the bamboo rolls I saw back then, not vertically, but from left to right.

And what is that little dot?

It seems to be used to break sentences.

It's a novelty.

Very thoughtful.

Who came up with it?

Looking at it, I saw that "the people can make it." No, you can know it. ”

Confucian Sheng was furious.

This was written by the dog thief in the end, and the original sentence of the saint should be. "The people may make it to themselves, but they cannot know it."

This dog thief actually misinterpreted the words of the saint in this way.

It's a big rebellion.

He immediately wanted to rush up and tear the paper off.

The soldiers were told early in the morning that when they saw someone rushing up, they immediately used their halberds to block him and prevent him from approaching.

"Bold. Stand down. ”

This Confucian student didn't dare to ignore it, and he wanted to rush forward to live or die.

"Let go of me. Let me go, this is clearly an outsider's heresy. It must be torn off, and it must not be a curse to the world. ”

The guard is an order given by the general, how can a soldier obey the words of a Confucian scholar from him.

Push him out with all his might.

Confucianism comes again and retreats again.

The loud noise of the Confucian scholars attracted more people, and many Confucian scholars who heard the news came to the periphery of Chang'an College and looked at the Analects written on the pieces of paper.

Some people jumped like thunder, some people suddenly realized, and some people bowed their heads and pondered.

A hundred kinds of people, a hundred kinds of demeanor......

Jia Xu has a cold personality, and has never liked to deal with people, preferring to be alone.

This time, he was embarrassed to invite Xun You to his house as a guest.

The two of them ate boiled mutton similar to a hot pot and drank water and wine.

Xun You opened his mouth and asked, "What do you think of the Analects written by the lord?" ”

Jia Xu sighed and said: "To be honest, the lord's attainments in scriptures are so high, I really didn't expect it. But the lord has always been used to hiding it, and I'm used to it. ”

Xun Yu asked: "Let's not talk about how many skills the lord has hidden, do you agree with the lord's arguments alone?" ”

Jia Xu was silent for a while. "It doesn't make any sense anymore. Isn't it? ”

When Xun You heard it, he wanted to refute it, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"Hey! It's better to let the lord give up his signature, otherwise I'm afraid that the controversy will be even greater. ”

"If you say that it spreads, will the fame of Chang'an Academy be publicized?"

Jia Xu thought that the lord wrote the Analects purely to build the reputation of the academy, just to attract scholars to come to Chang'an Academy as a doctor of classics. I don't know if those scholars will vomit blood in anger.

He thought it was ironic.

Of course, Xun You also knew what the original intention of the lord was in writing the Analects.

He shook his head and said:

"How can it not be advertised. The different sentences written by the lord are bound to cause great controversy. I'm afraid that Cai Zhonglang and they are all going to run over. I just don't know if Kangcheng Guild will come. If he comes, all the scholars in the world will come to Chang'an. At that time, as long as the lord can stay with Kang Chenggong. Then Chang'an Academy will become the first academy in the world. It's also good for the lord's reputation! ”
