"Zhang Hua meets the general!"

At this moment, Zhang Hua had already come to the place where Zhang Yi was being held and bowed and greeted.

Zhang Yi surrendered to Cao Wei in history, but this moment is different, at that time he surrendered because the emperor took the lead in surrendering, and now he is defeated and captured, so it is naturally impossible to surrender.

Zhang Yi looked at the young man in front of him and was unmoved.

It wasn't until Zhang Hua told his origin that Zhang Yifang was a little stunned.

Of course, people like them, who have been separated for hundreds of years, can no longer be regarded as relatives, and they are not counted as the same clan.

Zhang Yi looked a little angry, "The ancestor is Han Chen, how dare he assist the usurper thief?" ”

Zhang Hua didn't have the idea of refuting or debating, he sat next to Zhang Yi and said, "You don't have to think about provoking me, this time, I came to visit you on the orders of His Majesty." ”

"There is news from the Shu Kingdom, your clan has not been punished, you don't have to worry about this matter."

Zhang Yi fell silent for a moment.

Zhang Hua continued: "I didn't come to persuade the general to surrender, I just wanted the general to know the situation at home. ”

"You probably see the situation in the countries today."

"Shu's internal politics are corrupt, and Jiang Wei has been sending troops for many years, Jiang Wei is bent on going his own way, but I'm afraid there are not many years left."

Zhang Yi, who was originally silent, couldn't help but sarcastically say when he heard this: "I heard that Cao Wei's rule is extremely clear, the sages of the court are in power, the people are rich, and they are all called Shengming, why haven't they been able to defeat the Han Dynasty until now?" ”

On the issue of the title, both Wei and Wu called the Shu Han regime Shu, and Shu called itself Han, and Jiang Xian had asked Wu before, so he called himself Shu, and in the envoy records of Shu and Wu, the ministers of Shu usually called themselves Shu.

"The world has been in turmoil for many years, and it is time for unification."

Zhang Hua said calmly.

He looked at Zhang Yi in front of him again, "General, Your Majesty doesn't have the idea of disposing of you, and if you take the Shu Kingdom in the future, you won't easily kill its ministers, this is because of the benevolence and righteousness of the Son of Heaven." ”

"You were defeated and captured, but you were not humiliated, we are also respectful to you, and I hope that the general will not have the heart to seek death, everyone in the world knows that you are imprisoned, and you will not wait too long if you are not a traitor, and when you capture Shu, maybe the general can leave here and return to his own house."

Zhang Yi's face turned red, but he couldn't speak.

Zhang Hua immediately talked to him about the internal situation in Shu, and Zhang Yi was shocked to find that Cao Thief was very clear about his own situation, and even knew some things in the palace, such as Huang Hao and others.

In fact, the great clans of various places exchanged letters and sent people to trade, and in this case, it was all too normal for news to leak out.

Not only can Wei know the situation in Shu, but Shu can also know the situation in Wei.

The two talked for a long time before Zhang Hua said goodbye and left.

When he left, Zhang Yi seemed to have calmed down a lot, and he didn't speak ill of him again anyway.

And when Zhang Hua returned to the Taiji Palace, the emperor and Zhong Hui had already left here.

At this moment, these two people were standing in Ma Jun's mansion.

Ma Jun led them to check the results of printing, and Du Yu was standing not far away, recording something.

What Ma Jun printed was the "Book of Filial Piety", and when Zhong Hui saw that the Book of Filial Piety was brought to them by Ma Jun's helpers, Zhong Hui's eyes were a little stunned.

Ma Jun frowned, and said with some distress: "If you want to replace it with water power, there are still some difficulties that can only be done by manpower." ”

"Paste the contents of the manuscript on the board and engrave the lettering, use a carving knife to engrave the embossed text, remove the rest of the part, and make it concave, this is the engraving, and when printing, the ink is smeared, the paper is covered with it, and the brush is gently stroked."

Ma Jun explained to Zhong Hui on the side, "Such a printing plate can be printed 10,000 times in a row, I have tried, if it is the strength of one person, a day long, it can print more than 2,000 sheets."

Zhong Hui was dumbfounded.

Although printing can be traced back to a very early period, the specific application is still in the future, and the circulation of books today is still by hand.

Zhong Hui couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really a genius in the world!" ”

Ma Jun shook his head, "If it weren't for Your Majesty's inform, I wouldn't have been able to do it, sometimes, the principle seems simple, but it's just because no one thought of it, so it hasn't been made, Your Majesty's awakening is the most important thing, even if you don't have me, Your Majesty can make it yourself"

In front of Ma Jun, who uses water power to make the puppet dance, this kind of engraving and printing technology is probably nothing.

But at this moment, countless thoughts flashed in Zhong Hui's eyes, and he looked at Cao Chao on the side.

"Your Majesty, this thing is of great use!"

"Hahaha, if it's useless, why should I bring Shiji to see it?"

Zhong Hui immediately said: "This thing can extend the way of sages, can be kingly, and can govern the world." ”

Zhong Hui already had countless ideas at this moment, such as printing the books of the sages, printing the laws of the temples, printing the contents of the decrees issued, and so on.

Today's books are still very important resources, especially those that have been annotated, which are the treasures of the great clan, and they are almost never given to outsiders to read, after all, the knowledge of this book is the inheritance of the great clan.

Of course, the circulation of books is still higher than before, and at this moment, it is not like the early Han Dynasty, where books are hidden in the homes of several people, and outsiders cannot see them.

Many books have been promoted, and there are more and more books in the private sector.

Although there are many books, they are still not easily accessible to the children of the poor family.

Cao Chao has a new idea at the moment, the temple has always had its own library.

In the former Han Dynasty, there were Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion, which collected many books in the world.

The Great Wei inherited the system of the Later Han Dynasty, and collected books in the East, and the two emperors of the Great Wei civilization still attached great importance to books, and over the years, they also made the imperial library rich again through various methods.

Under normal circumstances, the books in the Royal Library are treasures, unless they are in charge of this errand or have obtained permission, they cannot go in to consult materials, and even if they go in to consult, they are absolutely not allowed to go out with books.

Like Huangfu Mi, it is with the permission of the emperor that he can go in and consult the information, and most of the people who can get this honor are historians, who write history by consulting a large number of materials and documents.

Cao Chao stroked his chin, and suddenly asked, "Shi Ji, what do you think if I ask people to print the documents of the Eastern View, set up Tianlu in various places, and allow scholars from all over the world to come in and check them?" ”

Zhong Hui looked at Cao Chao blankly, he couldn't believe what he had heard.

The history of the library in China is very long, the earliest can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty, but this library is a royal library, and it has little to do with the people, and the public library has to wait until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The popular library in the West was established earlier, and the reason why such a thing happened is very simple.

Before the Tang and Song dynasties, because books were very precious, they could not be easily given to the people to read.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, because folk books have been flooded, there are all kinds of bookstores among the people, and even private printing, so there is no need for temples to set up special public libraries.

But now, Cao Chao has such an idea.

He wanted to set up the first public library in China in Dawei, a place where all kinds of books could be read by everyone.

This idea may seem incomprehensible to outsiders.

The status of books is extremely high, and the emperor doesn't hold them in his hands, so why should he take them out and give them to others??

But Zhong Hui reacted quickly, and he muttered for a moment, "Yes." ”

Ma Jun, who was standing not far away, didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard anything, but Du Yu became a little excited.

He had only heard of an emperor who took other people's books and put them in his own hands, and he had never heard of an emperor who took out his own collection of books and distributed them to the people of the world.

If you want to break the monopoly on knowledge, you must let the books circulate on a large scale, of course, people from poor families or ordinary people may not be able to become talents if they get books without being taught, but there will always be talented people who can be inspired.

If there are enough books circulating among the people, then scholars from poor families and common people will also have more opportunities.

And for the big families, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing to open the royal library, speaking of which, it seems that they will benefit the most, they can go and collect the emperor's collection!

But Cao Chao doesn't care about this, put those books in the palace, can they still give birth to cubs?

It is better to let these books see the light of day again, and use printing technology to promote these books to all parts of the Great Wei Dynasty, so that they can continue to grow and give birth to more talents.

Du Yu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Cao Chao.

"Your Majesty is benevolent!!"

Since Du Pre and Ma Jun met, Du Pre has often talked with Ma Jun, and the two exchanged experiences, expounded each other's ideas, and so on.

Cao Chao shook his head and said very calmly: "This is not a kind of benevolence, and these books are not written by me. ”

"At the beginning, the Qin Dynasty forbade the collection of books by the people, and all the books were locked in the palace, since the beginning of the former Han Dynasty, the people no longer prohibit the collection of books, but the various major clans attach great importance to books, and are unwilling to hand them over to outsiders to see, hidden in the house, scholars with bad backgrounds want to read, it is not easy, I want to make books circulate all over the world, but all good scholars can watch, and those who are interested in learning the truth of the sages can go to pursue."

"This is the act of promoting the way of the saints in the world."

Hearing Cao Chao's words, Zhong Hui was deeply convinced.

Du Yu was also very happy, "In this way, why worry about Dawei Buxing?!" ”

Cao Chao said to Ma Jun with a smile: "This is all because of Ma Gong's merits, the world says that fame and skill are less beneficial to the world, and there is no merit in the avenue, but now it seems that the reason why the avenue can be revitalized is because of the ability of fame and skill!" ”
