How long can the political situation in the Sili area last, Xi Yu is not clear.

The return of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to the east is an inevitable result.

After the locust plague, the entire Guanzhong area was almost completely unharvested.

Chang'an is full of disaster victims, barren bones are exposed in the wilderness, under such a scene, Chang'an, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, is naturally no longer suitable for living.

What's more, Liu Xie still has a sense of belonging to Luoyang after all.

Those officials of the Han Dynasty naturally had some thoughts about the former capital Luoyang.

Since that day and Cao Cao have talked.

The whole late autumn passed quietly, and the north wind gradually rose in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered the New Year's Pass.

In a few months, the land of Yanzhou was like the tone set before the drama.

Xi Zhicai was in charge of building the Chi Road without the slightest delay.

The entire Yanzhou Chi Road, in the frenzied construction, rose from the ground.

With the newly established Chidao, the style of the whole Yanzhou seems to be more desirable to the people than in the past.

"It worked!"

"It worked!"

In the courtyard of the opera's house, when Xi Yu and Xi Zhicai were sitting in front of the desk and roasting the fire together, Dian Wei hurriedly broke in all the way from the outside.

This guy's tone was extremely excited, and Xi Yu just heard the other party's voice, so he understood a little.

The drama on the side was a little puzzled, and subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu.

"Ah Yu, what is Dian Wei shouting?"

"It's time for the papermaking technique to succeed!"

During this time, regarding how to improve papermaking, Xi Yu has been asking Dian Wei to help keep an eye on it.

He told Ma San and other craftsmen all about the process of papermaking.

Now Dian Wei has come back to report the news, no accident, that is, the papermaking technology has been successful!

With the foundation of papermaking, the success of improved papermaking technology was not unexpected by Xiyu.

However, it took a few months of hard work during this period.

"Papermaking?"

Xi Zhicai naturally knows about papermaking, and this thing has already been made.

It's just that the papermaking technique mentioned by his younger brother must be different from the previous one.

There are some doubts in my heart, this kung fu Dian Wei has already entered the back hall.

"Sir, Ma San, they have already made the paper according to your idea!"

For things like paper, Dian Wei didn't know how big his role was.

But Luoyang paper is expensive, and paper is something that can only be used by upper-class people.

Now, he watched Ma San and those people make it out of some cotton and linen waste, which naturally made Dian Wei a little happy.

"Big brother let's go and see?"

Xi Yu glanced at Xi Zhicai, and then invited the other party to go with him to see the paper made by Ma San and others.

Hearing Xi Yu say this, Xi Zhicai nodded decisively.

Paper!

That's a good thing.

The three of them left the mansion and arrived at the paper workshop in Juancheng in a short time.

After arriving, Xi Yu found that not only did he know the news, but also Cao Cao, Xun Yu and other people followed.

It's papermaking!

Cao Cao was naturally also extremely concerned, since he knew that Xi Yu asked Ma San and others to tinker with papermaking, Cao Cao's heart couldn't help but look forward to it a little more.

Xun Yu and others on the side are naturally extremely concerned about things like paper.

If it is really as Xi Yu said, paper can be produced in large quantities.

Then he doesn't have to face those bamboo slips all day long.

Even with a large amount of paper, they can even use it to do business with other states in Dahan.

Those wealthy families are also very fond of paper.

If this thing can be exchanged for gold, silver, and even grain, it will be of great benefit to the entire Yanzhou.

A group of people gathered outside the workshop gate in Juancheng.

This kung fu, led by Ma San, quickly followed out.

"I've seen the lord, I've seen Mr. Fengyi, I've seen Mr. Wenruo, I've seen ......"

The people in front of him were all big names for Ma San and these craftsmen, and after saluting the crowd, Cao Cao hurriedly followed.

"Ma San, I heard that you made paper!"

Cao Cao was a little excited, and even a little impatient to see the paper.

Xi Yu also patted Ma San on the shoulder.

"Well done!"

"It's all the credit of Mr. Fengyi, I don't dare to take credit!"

Ma San hurriedly responded.

What kind of papermaking skills do these ordinary craftsmen know?

If it weren't for Mr. Xi Yuxi, who told them the process of making paper, they would never have imagined how paper would be made even if they were in their lifetime.

Ma San's cognition of himself and others is still extremely clear.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on the paper, he didn't dare to delay in the slightest.

It was very windy outside, and Ma San led Cao Cao and the others into the workshop.

Soon, a craftsman came over with a wad of white paper.

"Paper, it's paper!"

With just one glance, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth couldn't help but curl.

He had seen paper, and the thing in front of him was as thin as a cicada's wing, like silk.

It looks like paper.

It's just that the paper in front of him is whiter than the paper he keeps at home, and even, just a glance, people can't take their eyes off.

Cao Cao was a little pleased.

Xun Yu on the side was already holding the paper in his hand, and he couldn't put it down, and the strategists behind him all had the same face.

Xi Yu reached out and touched the paper in front of him.

It feels good, although there is still a gap between the blank paper of the later generations, but Ma San and others can follow the procedure to this step, which is already good.

You know, although he knows what the material of the paper is.

However, the specific process is not very clear.

Ma San and others can make blank paper, and the credit naturally cannot be ignored.

"Brother, these craftsmen should be rewarded!"

Xi Yu said a word at Cao Cao, who did not hesitate at all when he heard this.

Cao Cao looked at Ma San and the others: "You are all meritorious, I will keep it in my heart, and I will give you a reward later!" ”

Cao Cao's voice fell, and the expressions of the craftsmen were obviously excited.

You must know that in this era, the status of craftsmen is actually not much different from that of ordinary people.

What the states and counties ask these craftsmen to do is actually equivalent to working for nothing, and the remuneration is almost not very high.

However, these craftsmen are also talents that cannot be ignored.

The local government also has a protective effect on these people.

In troubled times, most of these craftsmen rarely put their lives in danger.

There are pros and cons!

"I don't know how much this thing costs?"

Xun Yu looked at the paper in his hand, and after a long time, he still asked the most critical question.

The cost of this thing is not huge!

If it is not much different from the previous papermaking technology, then the meaning of paper will not be of maximum benefit.

But if, as Xi Yu said, the cost is not high or even can be mass-produced.

Then, the existence of these papers is the most beneficial thing for the world!

After Xun Yu's words fell, Cao Cao and the others all looked at Ma San.

The latter also reacted.

"Back to the lord, the cost materials of these papers are all as Mr. Xi said before!"

Ma San didn't say anything too specific, but as soon as he said this, Cao Cao and the others already understood.

As Xi Yu said before.

That is, it can be mass-produced, and the cost is not high.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth couldn't help but rise a little more, and the whole person's mood was indescribably wonderful.

"Good, good!"

After saying hello a few times in a row, Cao Cao subconsciously reached out and touched his beard.

"Before the end of the year, I have one more happy event in Yanzhou, which is really gratifying!"

Cao Cao is in a good mood, Xun Yu and others are not much different, with the existence of paper, many plans can be carried out in the future.

"Ma San, you should step up the production of this thing!"

After admonishing Ma San, Cao Cao turned around and looked at the crowd present.

"No one is allowed to spread the word about the material making of paper!"

The effect of this thing on Yanzhou is extremely large, and Cao Cao naturally takes it very seriously.

After witnessing the paper, Xi Yu did not stay too long.

After he took some paper from Ma San, he told the other party that the exploration of the paper could not be canceled.

There are still many types of paper.

Watching Xi Yu take care of himself since Ma San took a bundle of papers, the entire people present looked a little moved.

Cao Cao asked for a bundle, and Xun Yu followed without the slightest politeness.

None of the people present were polite.

It's a bit like the seeker has a share, and Cao Cao didn't stop it.

Some of the paper that had just been made was split in the blink of an eye.

The people who didn't get it couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

……

The northwesterly winds in winter are a bit biting.

Seeing that the whole Yanzhou is getting cold, the New Year is approaching, and the political affairs of the entire Yanzhou are also a little less.

Winter came, and Xi Yu did not continue to train in the baggage camp as before.

Now in the baggage camp, he has completely handed over to Zhao Yun to train.

Zhao Yun is also conscientious, and he can be regarded as a standard model worker.

And at the same time.

Since Liu Bei and his entourage arrived in Juancheng with Cao Cao, they are now staying in Juancheng very safely.

Liu Bei lived in a temporary residence.

Even in winter, Liu Bei still did not stop being busy at this time.

He didn't know when he had cultivated some fertile land in the yard, and he had been dealing with things in the farmland all this time.

Although he couldn't grow anything like food in winter, Liu Bei didn't know where to get some strange seeds.

In the whole acre, a lot of seedlings were born.

"Big brother, are you busy with your three-point field again?"

Zhang Fei, who had just returned from drinking outside the house, glanced at Liu Bei unconsciously.

Seeing Liu Bei carefully squatting in the fields, he didn't know what to say.

Liu Bei looked up at Zhang Fei.

"Went out for a drink again?"

The wine jug that Zhang Fei was carrying was too obvious, and there was nothing too wrong with his third brother.

He just likes to drink, and he persuaded this, but it is only within the time limit.

Now, all three of them are under the fence.

Regarding the fact that Zhang Fei likes to drink every day, Liu Bei can be regarded as turning a blind eye.

It's just that counting the days, it's almost half a year in the blink of an eye!

From Xuzhou to Yanzhou.

Liu Bei can also be regarded as seeing the difference between these two states.

Today's Yanzhou is a thriving state, and this scene is all because of the existence of a person next to Cao Cao.

Whether it is the previous military strategy, or the cultivation and rest with the people.

Or, then it's easy to deal with the locust plague.

and so on, all of which are inseparable from the figure of Xi Yu.

Liu Bei sighed with some emotion, and suddenly heard the person guarding the door come in to report.

"My lord, Mr. Drama is here!"

"Mr. Drama?"

Hearing the doorman's report, Liu Bei was a little stunned, and Zhang Fei, who was standing on the side, also frowned.

Mr. Drama?

can be called like this, in the entire Juancheng, there are only two Xi Yu brothers.

Liu Bei knew very well that he was not very familiar with these two people.

Now that the other party actually came to find him, Liu Bei was extremely surprised.

After the doorman's words fell, Liu Bei had not yet spoken, and several figures followed in outside the door.

The first person was smiling.

"Xuan Dejun, take the liberty to visit, and look at Haihan!"

Xi Yu smiled, and Dian Wei, who followed behind him, walked with a tiger, and the tiger was vigorous.

Zhang Fei unconsciously stood behind Liu Bei.

Seeing that it was Xi Yu, Liu Bei had a smile on his face and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"It's actually Mr. who came, but he was a little sluggish!"

As soon as Xi Yu came in, his eyes had already fallen on the field that Liu Bei was cultivating, and he was sure in his heart just by looking at it.

At this time, Liu Bei stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face, and Xi Yu also nodded with a smile.

"Xuan Dejun, in Juancheng, you have a good stay!"

"It's good, Juancheng is worthy of being governed by Meng De!"

"This time along the way, Bei has also seen all kinds of Juancheng, compared to other states in the Han Dynasty, the entire Juancheng, the Tao can let me see a little bit of the grand occasion of the Han Dynasty in the past!"

Liu Bei was a little emotional.

Xi Yu didn't hear much of this, he just asked casually.

In this kung fu, he followed Liu Bei and Zhang Fei all the way into the back hall of the residence.

seemed to hear the movement, and Guan Yu in the house also walked out.

Xi Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Guan Yu, and when he saw that the other party was still holding a book in his hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and he remembered that classic line again in his mind.

Seeing that it was a joke, Guan Yu gave a very polite salute.

Drama returns the favor.

Guan Yu's arrogance was still somewhat there, but Xi Yu felt that in front of him, Guan Yu was obviously much more restrained at this time.

"Sir is visiting, but there is something important?"

After everyone sat down, Liu Bei asked Xi Yu with great concern.

I asked this with some caution.

Xi Yu shook his head: "It's nothing important, but I've heard of Xuan Dejun's personality, and I haven't had the opportunity to visit before, but now that I'm free, I want to meet Xuan Dejun!" ”

"I have also heard of the deeds of the gentleman!"

Liu Bei laughed.

Xi Yu glanced at Dian Wei behind him, who did not hesitate, directly took out a large roll of white paper from his sleeve robe, and handed it to Xi Yu.

"Xuan Dejun, this is a blank piece of paper, and there is no gift for this visit, so I will give it to Xuan Dejun!"

Xi Yu casually handed the white paper in his hand to Liu Bei.

The latter was a little stunned.

Liu Bei didn't know the news of papermaking, and seeing that Xi Yu casually handed him a large roll of white paper, Liu Bei was shocked.

Zhang Fei on the side seemed to have forgotten the wine jug in his hand, and his eyes fell on the white paper in an instant.

You can't move it!

"This, this thing is so valuable, I can't afford it!"

How expensive the paper is, Liu Bei still knows it in his heart.

Back then, when he was studying with Lu Zhi, the great Confucian Lu Zhi didn't have much paper in his hands.

And right now, the drama is followed by a volume, which is really extremely precious.

"I'll give it to you, what you can't afford to say!"

"This thing was made by my husband himself, and now there are a lot of them in Juancheng!"

Seeing Liu Bei's posture, Dian Wei couldn't help laughing.

Nowadays, paper is a thing that almost everyone in Juancheng has a lot of at home.

Even he had some in his house.

To say that Dian Wei was still a little rare about paper before, but now he can't wait to give away all kinds of things like white paper.

I don't know why, but my husband is now asking him to read and write.

In the past few days, his head is about to get bigger!

Thinking of the experience of the past few days, Dian Wei's head hurt a little.

When Liu Bei heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Xi Yu.

There is a lot of paper in the whole Juancheng?

Also, Xi Yu can actually make paper?

Liu Bei was a little puzzled, but Xi Yu didn't hide it, although it was only a few days, there was indeed more paper in Juancheng.

The efficiency of Ma San and others is not low, and in just a few days, Juancheng's paper has also begun to be mass-produced.

Liu Bei didn't know, and it was just because the other party had been cowering in the residence.

"Dian Wei is right, this thing was made by me, and now it's not a scarce thing, Xuan Dejun can accept it!"

said a word to Liu Bei, who was obviously in a trance at this time.

"Sir, what a talent!"

When Liu Bei said this, his tone trembled a little.

Guan Yu on the side was also a little stunned when he looked at the paper.

At this moment, Liu Bei looked at Xi Yu again, and the solicitation in his heart was like a raging fire at this moment.

After it rose up, it began to be a little uncontrollable.

"Why is the gentleman so talented, why ......?"

Liu Bei opened his mouth, and the words in his mouth were still stuck in his throat after all.

There's still no way to say that right now.

Xi Yu knew what the other party wanted to say, but he didn't care about it, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the good fields in the courtyard again.

"Do you know what those things Xuan Dejun planted?"

"I don't know that these seeds were obtained by chance in my hometown in Youzhou, but they have never been cultivated."

"Now that I'm free, I've only cultivated some!"

"Can you give me some?"

Xi Yu couldn't help but say something.

The seedlings in the yard were not some other seeds, but some pepper seedlings.

Nowadays, there are a lot of peppers on the seedlings!

He also heard that Liu Bei had actually planted something in the yard, so he was curious.

After all, it's winter, and normal grain won't bear fruit at this time.

The things that can bear fruit at this time naturally make Xi Yu very careful.

"Since Mr. likes it, it is necessary to be prepared!"
