Outside Lunu City, Li Yunze, who was wearing a linen suit, used the tools in his hand to pick up the soil ridge.

The water of the Hutuo River, which was brought in by the digging of a ditch, suddenly rushed in and poured into the fields.

This is a fine field near the river, and on a good day, the yield can even reach as much as two stones.

The sun was shining in the sky, and the crops were thriving.

At this moment, abundant water resources are the most urgently needed for crops.

"A lot of ditches were dug in the country." Li Yunze, who was barefoot, returned to the ridge and instructed Zhao Yan and others beside him, "This is a good thing, but we must also patrol along the embankment, and we must not cause accidents on the embankment because of the construction of ditches." ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

People in the modern world rarely feel the horror of floods, because the rivers in the modern world have basically been managed obediently.

Not only are there countless reservoirs of various sizes up and down to regulate the flow, but there are basically strong embankments along the river.

The floods, which had caused so much of a catastrophe, had almost been tamed completely.

But here in Dahan, there are not so many facilities, so the flood is still a terrible existence.

The Hutuo River is still good, not so violent, but in the summer heavy rains, there will already be harm, so while digging ditches, we must not relax the repair and maintenance of the river embankment.

The civil and military forces of the Zhongshan Kingdom were very happy and thought that the king was a good king.

After all, the king who can personally go to the fields and farm and attach importance to agriculture must be a good king.

The ancient Qian's requirements for the king and the Son of Heaven are really not high, just don't pit them.

If you don't pit the people at the same time, you can do something for the people, then you will be the emperor of the ages.

It's a pity that the lower limit of the people's desire is so low, but they are still rampant, but there are very few Ming Jun.

If you are lucky, it is of course to cherish it.

The sound of horses' hooves came, and a caravan with dozens of carts came up the official road not far away.

Everyone took a look at it and didn't pay any more attention, after all, Lunu was located on a traffic artery, and there were too many caravans going from south to north to east and west.

Li Yunze, who was washing his feet, took a few more looks, "There are a lot of students who have come to Lunu City recently. ”

In the caravan, there were a few people dressed as scribes.

In the Han Dynasty, outside of towns and villages, most of the places were deep mountains and old forests.

Not only are tigers and leopards flooded with poisonous snakes, but there are also many thieves and robbers.

If you travel alone, there is a good chance that the people will disappear as you walk.

Therefore, when you go out for a long distance, you either travel in a group or follow a large team such as a caravan.

"Since the fame of King Muda."

Zhao Yan patted it without a trace, causing everyone to echo in unison.

If you say something casually, some people will praise it, and if you don't have enough to change to the city, you will gradually get lost.

It's a pity that Li Yunze has really experienced too many things like this, and he just smiled and didn't say much.

Recently, there are indeed more and more students from various factions who have come to Zhongshan Kingdom.

As for the reason, it is naturally a blank slate.

After the appearance of white paper, it quickly became popular among cultural people with its beautiful shape and convenient use.

Compared with hundreds of pounds of bamboo slips, a stack of white paper can record a book.

Each faction has a headache for the inheritance of its own genre, and the most important of these is to record, preserve, and disseminate it in the form of words.

It was too troublesome to use bamboo slips before, and I couldn't run around with hundreds or even thousands of catties of bamboo slips, which hindered the development and inheritance of my own school.

The appearance of white paper perfectly solves this problem.

But the problem is, there is too little blank paper!

Now there is even less white paper than silk silk.

There are too many people who want it, but the quantity is in short supply, and many people think of simply looking for it where the blank paper appears.

It is precisely because of this that many schools that have received the news have arranged for people to come to Zhongshan Kingdom.

"Don't talk about that."

Taking the reins handed over by the guards, Li Yunze turned over and greeted him, "Zhao Yan, arrange for the students of all factions in Lunu City to gather in the palace tomorrow, and this king has something to say to them, return to the palace." ”

"喏~~~"

The next day, many students from various factions who came to look for blank paper gathered in the palace of King Zhongshan in Lunu City.

Here, they met King Nakayama, who is said to have invented the white paper.

"Meet the King~~~"

After everyone saluted, Li Yunze waved his hand, and immediately a waiter handed out a thick white paper in front of everyone.

The students were overjoyed, and they did not hesitate to trek through mountains and rivers to come to Lunu for this.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Li Yunze's voice was kind: "This thing is called paper, and it is made by this king in his spare time." I learned that you came to Zhongshan Kingdom for this thing, and I would like to reward you and others. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, but they didn't expect that what they thought was difficult could be done so easily.

The king of Zhongshan is definitely a virtuous king.

When everyone was about to thank them again, Li Yunze changed his words, "But."

"But this thing is not easy to make, and it costs a lot."

The students don't know the craft, so naturally Li Yunze is what he says.

Some smart people already understood what Li Yunze meant, and immediately expressed their willingness to offer money and silk.

"When this king is a greedy man, do you want to call it?" Li Yunze, who showed displeasure on his face, waved his sleeves dissatisfiedly, "This king is a studious person, and he has admired the knowledge of various families for a long time. As long as you are willing to take your own school books and transcribe them and send them to this king, then the blank paper is here

Give as much as you want in the west! ”

In an era of low productivity, cultural knowledge was monopolized.

As a carrier of cultural knowledge, books are tightly collected, and there is no chance to see them in leisure.

That is to say, Li Yunze is the king and the lord of a country.

If it were someone else, the students would have been furious a long time ago.

'Want to steal my family's knowledge?' Dream! ’

It can be seen that the reason why the hundreds of schools of thought cannot compete for Confucianism without education is an important reason.

It's not that their knowledge can't be helped, the problem is that they have to be worthy of help.

Although Li Yunze is not the Son of Heaven, he is also the lord of a country, although there are only eight counties in this country.

Chang'an City is now the world of Huang Lao's art and Legalism, and even Confucianism can't compete with others, let alone other schools.

At this time, Li Yunze had this meaning, and everyone was naturally eager to rush to it, and there was absolutely no reason to refuse.

Not only did he not refuse, but he also wanted to take out the essence of his school so that the king could reuse it.

This is probably a similar operation to 'learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family'.

Li Yunze has a collecting habit.

In each world, he collects something of great epochal significance.

In this era when the hundreds of schools of thought are still blooming with brilliant brilliance, collecting their cultural works, especially those that have long been lost and have not even passed down their names to future generations, is what Li Yunze wants.

In the entire Han Dynasty, the place with the largest collection of books is the imperial palace in Chang'an City.

After all, when he first entered Xianyang, all the generals were competing for the golden silk beauties, but only Xiao He was collecting books and atlases.

When it was divided into Zhongshan Kingdom, a batch was given in the Weiyang Palace, but unfortunately compared to the scale of the whole world, it was not worth mentioning.

As for other things, there is little interest for the time being.

Not to mention anything else, it is like a jade seal in the hands of the Son of Heaven, this thing must be the one in the hands of Zu Long to have collection significance, in the hands of other emperors, Li Yunze is not rare.

He only wants the original.

For the hundreds of schools of thought whose competition has reached a cruel level, it is not bad to fight for Chang'an City and Zhongshan Kingdom.

The students of each family acted quickly, wrote letters to their respective schools, or simply rushed back to report the matter.

The reaction of various schools was also very fast, and they dragged countless bamboo slips in horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, and made it difficult to go to Lunu.

Schools are also meant to survive.

The prerequisite for survival is that someone has to use you.

It has been reused, so that more people can choose to join in and pass it on.

Otherwise, it will be a matter of disagreement with everyone.

For the inheritance of the school and the struggle for the Zhongshan Kingdom, each family has made a bloody investment.

Fortunately, Lunu is not a remote and remote place, and it is located in the north like the hundred schools of thought, and it is still a transportation artery.

Therefore, it is not so difficult for families to come and go, and it is even closer than going to Chang'an.

When Lieutenant Zhang Ou came to Lunu, what he saw was that the official road was full of dense convoys.

There are not only a large number of caravans, but also people from hundreds of schools of thought.

Those horse-drawn carts and ox carts filled with bamboo slips were so dense that it was impossible to see the end.

On the left and right sides of the endless official road, there are two completely different scenery.

One is a pasture with abundant pasture and fenced off, where a large number of cattle, sheep and horses are leisurely eating forage and fodder.

On the other side, there is an idyllic scenery where the ears are hanging low and the harvest is about to be harvested.

Closer to the city of Lunu, there was a large smoky blacksmith shop, and the red fire was conspicuous even at a distance.

Zhang Ou, who was stunned, turned his head to look at his admiring entourage and asked, "Zhang Tang, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Ou was supposed to come over a long time ago.

But before he set off, a rebellion case broke out in Chang'an City.

The Marquis of Biyang tried to rebel, and Zhang Ou, who was a court lieutenant, naturally couldn't avoid such a big case.

Moreover, such cases of rebellion by noble princes involved a great deal of time, and they had to be tried very carefully, so it naturally took a lot of time.

When trying the case, Zhang Ou unexpectedly gained a talent, that is, Zhang Tang, who was an official in Chang'an.

After seeing Zhang Tang's ability, after a little inquiry, he heard about his filial piety and the story of interrogating the mouse, and suddenly felt that he was a talent, and immediately recruited him into his command.

This time I came to Zhongshan and brought it with me.

Zhang Tang carefully checked his surroundings.

"The harvest is abundant, and the people are fed."

"There are many cattle and sheep, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"There is an endless stream of business travel, and commerce is developed."

"The blacksmith shop is one after another, the furnace is in full swing, and the supplies are abundant."

"There are countless students coming and going, and the culture is prosperous."

Zhang Tang saluted to Zhang Ou, "The court captain is above, I think that the king should have the appearance of a bright king!" ”
