Looking at Ma Tan's blank expression, Zhuge Liang had to say that his apprentice was indeed disguised deep enough.

Such a clever invention and such a genius idea, if Zhuge Liang knew it when he was young, he would have to mention two sentences in Longzhong. When he joined Shuhan, there were two pages in his PPT.

In the letter, Fei Yi described all the reforms of Longyou during this period of time, and told Zhuge Liang completely.

The two core ones are the new farming system of Longyou and the papermaking technology.

Before leaving, Ma Tan proposed the system of cultivation and warfare in Longxi County, that is, the military merit land binding of the Qin system. However, he still made some slight modifications to make it suitable for the Shu Han regime.

To put it simply, it is to set up a special prefecture to govern the land of a county of scholars. This province can collect the unowned land in the county and allocate it to the soldiers to cultivate.

The soldier's family had land to cultivate, and they could bear the burden of armor and weapons themselves. In wartime, it can be directly conscripted into the army, which does not require the imperial court to spend money to maintain the army, but also ensures the combat effectiveness of the army.

This simplified version of the government military system is a very suitable strategy for the next target to conquer the sparsely populated Liangzhou and Shu Han in Guanzhong.

This policy has been in the game between Fei Yi and the Longyou clan for several years, and it has been slowly implemented in Longyou.

This is a heart booster for Zhuge Liang, which is not much better than Cao Cao's extreme Tuntian system that squeezes the head of Qian!

There is another one, which is Ma Tan's improved papermaking technique.

Zhuge Liang didn't expect that Ma Yan, who was his apprentice, also had Mo family attainments. In Longyou for more than a year, there are so many designs.

Let's not talk about the drawings of the large number of canals left behind in Longxi County. It can only be said that after Ma Jian left, Li Mu relied on these large numbers of water conservancy facilities to irrigate thousands of hectares of land in Longxi County.

And Ma Tan's improved papermaking technology is even more heavyweight, which is an invention that can go down in history.

Zhuge Liang also has many inventions, such as the recently developed wooden ox, which is Zhuge Liang's preparation for the next Northern Expedition.

However, these are still slightly inferior to Ma Tan's invention.

Under Fei Yi's explanation, Zhuge Liang basically understood the situation.

Before leaving, Ma Tan reached an agreement with the Yang family in Longyou and bought all the Yang family's workshops. Subsequently, it took more than a month for Ma Tan to comprehensively update the papermaking technology.

The new paper no longer uses linen as a material, but is replaced by cheaper bamboo. After a series of transformations, not only the quality of the paper has been greatly improved, but also the cost has been cut a lot.

Since the previous year, the Yang family and Fei Yi have reached in-depth cooperation. The workshop affiliated to the government has fully started production, and Longyou Paper has been officially launched.

In the past two years, the tax on Longyou has increased significantly, and a large reason is that Longyou paper has begun to be sold.

At first, it was only Longyou, and then it began to be sold into Shudi, followed by a large number of smuggling Cao Wei.

In particular, the Yang family also relied on the clansmen who served in Cao Wei to quickly open up trade routes and start smuggling on a large scale.

The main reason why the caravan began to engage in smuggling was that the smuggling in Guanzhong was no longer moving. In order to make more money, the Yang family found Fei Yi and opened up the Shangyong business route.

At the end of the letter, Fei Yi also listed a series of measures he promoted.

It was only at this time that Zhuge Liang noticed that Longyou Paper had actually entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's just that he was busy with affairs, and most of them were looking at bamboo slips, so he didn't notice it.

"I didn't expect that Youchang would hide so deeply." However, Zhuge Liang just nodded, very satisfied with all this change.

All these things are beneficial to the country, and they are all unexpected joys for Zhuge Liang. In particular, Fei Yi's optimism about the future prospects of Longyou paper gave Zhuge Liang a new idea.

"Young Chang, I will send your recital to the palace for His Majesty's personal approval. Your merits will be rewarded in the court at that time, so go back first! Zhuge Liang stood up, said to Ma Jian with a smile, and then walked out.

"Gongyan, take the scribe and follow me to Shaofu!"

Then Ma Jian watched Zhuge Liang walk out with a bewildered face. Until this time, Ma Jian didn't react,

"When will I make meritorious service again? How did I not know? ”

…………

At this moment in West County, Fei Yi, who was dealing with government affairs, suddenly felt a chill. At this moment, he, like Liu Yin, felt as if his credit had been snatched away.

"What does it feel like, someone is trying to kill me...... It shouldn't be. Fei Yi lifted the official hat and muttered subconsciously.

"Now my letter should have been sent to the prime minister, and I don't know how the prime minister will reward him......"

For these, Fei Yi has been hiding them quietly at the beginning. He wanted to wait until it was all too big and report it when he couldn't hide it anymore.

When a lot of good things come together, the credit will be maximized.

Only in this way can his role as Fei Yi be highlighted. Otherwise, the reputation is always added by the prime minister, and Fei Yi also feels bottomless.

So don't look at Fei Yi as a good guy and think he's honest, this guy is also shrewd......

After shaking his head and suppressing the feeling just now, Fei Yi began to continue to do official business.

…………

…………

When Ma Jian was stunned, Zhuge Liang had already personally brought Jiang Wan to Shaofu.

Shu Han's Shu brocade trade and the sale of 100 coins were all in charge of the Shaofu. Zhuge Liang came to Shaofu this time, also for the sake of a hundred dollars.

Ma Tan gave him an improved papermaking technique, which was superior in terms of output, cost and quality. This is a commodity that is almost monopolistic like Shu Jin, which is enough to take out and give it to the Zhibaiqian platform.

Zhuge Liang wants to anchor the Zhibai Qian and Longyou paper together to increase the value of Shu Han's Zhibai Yuan.

After the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei, Shu and Wu all tried to issue new coins. For example, Shu Zhi 100 coins, Wu's Daquan 5,000, or Wei Wuzhu of Wei......

However, it seems that it is not easy to make, and the five thousand Daquan similar to Wu have become scrap metal. The currency recognized in the market is still Han Wuzhu.

The status of Zhibaiqian anchored by Shu Jin has also been unstable, and the empty treasury of Shu Han has been unsustainable.

But the appearance of Longyou paper made Zhuge Liang see hope and the hope of improving the status of Zhibaiqian.

If it can be done, the internal cultivation of political principles in Zhuge Liang's blueprint for Xinghan will be a big step forward!

"Quickly send a message to Fei Yi, let him find dozens of good paper-making craftsmen, and escort them to Chengdu!"

At the same time as Zhuge Liang arrived at Shaofu, he ordered the scribe to write a letter to Fei Yi's dignitaries, and at the same time sent people to the Chengdu workshop.

"Hurry up and go to the workshop to invite Master Pu to Shaofu to discuss major matters together!"
