One thousand one hundred and sixty-four Zuo Bo presents paper

After May of the sixth year of Yande, the official academic guiding ideology of Wei State began to be reorganized, and Taixue finally became the true highest institution of learning in the country.

The widely recognized doctoral student of the Five Classics brought his assistant teaching to the Imperial Academy, bringing real classical education to the Imperial Academy.

The children of scholars returned to the Imperial Academy and gathered with poor children and politicians to study in the Imperial Academy.

This is one of the spoils that Guo Peng won after winning the Five Classics War.

The large-class education model implemented in the Imperial College has also been consolidated. Although it is not as complete class-based education as the children of the training camp, the large-class education is also quite good.

The differences within the Five Classics are ended and will not change again. Although all students can choose one of the classics they are interested in to study, they can also participate in other practical education in the Imperial Academy.

Doctors in the Imperial Academy were also asked to really teach something useful, not to hide anything good, and not teach anything good, otherwise the emperor would be unhappy if he knew about it.

This is also one of the compromise goals reached by both sides.

To say that the Imperial College before could only cultivate talents from one county, but now, the Imperial College may cultivate talents from one county.

If some talented people appear again, it is not impossible to cultivate talents from a state or even the central government.

The teaching resources and teaching level of Imperial College have been qualitatively escalated.

In short, Taixue has entered normal operation and returned to its true highest institution of learning, and has further expanded its enrollment, from the number of three thousand to six thousand. It seems that there is still a possibility of further expansion.

And at this stall, Guo Peng received a "special" memorial.

The person who submitted this memorial was Mi Zhu, the governor of Qingzhou.

Mi Zhu reported that Zuo Bo, a master of papermaking in Qingzhou, had developed a complete technology that could make large-scale paper in large quantities, and could make a large amount of paper at a very low cost. He was willing to present this technology to His Majesty the Emperor to express his gratitude and loyalty to the Wei Empire.

When Guo Peng heard about it, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered the Ministry of Works to send someone to Qingzhou to investigate the authenticity of the matter, and then come back to report it to him.

This incident has attracted the attention of some people.

However, at that time, the scholars focused on academic restructuring and their response to this news was not enthusiastic.

The scholars who have the advantage of family law were nervously clearing the relationship between officials of the Ministry of Rites, thinking of gaining an advantage in the next time they were filial and honest.

The scholars who had no advantage in family law were unwilling to lose the opportunity to become officials, so they quickly begged their grandparents to seek contacts everywhere and try to change their families.

Those nine family rules have been abandoned by most students.

Except for some deadly hard-working elements who refuse to accept this reality and still have to embrace their own family laws and wait for the opportunity to rise again, most people still have more ideas.

It is a blessing among those who practiced these five family laws at the beginning. If you did not practice these five family laws at the beginning, the problem would be greater.

Changing the door is one thing, learning again is one thing.

But they are also much better than those guys who have been exiled to the frontier and can never come back and have completely lost their qualifications to be an official.

There is still a little hope that as long as there is no trouble, the emperor will not cancel their household registration.

Among their care sequences, the most important thing is their future career, and others can be temporarily sidelined.

Then, at the end of June, officials from the Ministry of Works brought Zuo Bo and his papermaking technology to Luoyang.

In front of Guo Peng, he "displayed" his papermaking technology. Guo Peng was "overjoyed" and summoned important ministers in the court to watch the results of his papermaking technology and craftsmanship.

When the ministers saw such a spectacular paper production line, they were amazed.

Then Zuo Bo knelt in front of Guo Peng in public and asked to present such papermaking skills to the court to help the court handle official affairs better.

"My family has lived in Qingzhou for generations, but unfortunately suffered the Yellow Turban disaster. The tribe members were killed and their family property was destroyed. It was all up to Your Majesty to wipe out the Yellow Turbans. My family will have a day of rejuvenation. Now I am willing to present papermaking techniques to Your Majesty. May my Wei prosper and prosper!"

Look at what this said.

it's beautiful.

Seeing the inexplicable expressions of many ministers, Guo Peng was very happy.

"This move greatly improved the difficulty of using paper in our dynasty. The bamboo slips are too heavy and not portable. The paper is light but expensive. During this Northern Expedition, the Ministry of War alone used 170,000 pieces of paper, which shows how huge the paper needed in our dynasty was. Zuo Bo's move benefited the country and the people. I feel relieved that it would not be rewarded without a title!"

Guo Peng named Zuo Bo as a third-class count on the spot, and granted him to his hometown, giving him a fief of 300 households.

Then Zuo Bo was appointed as Wailang, the Papermaking Department of the Ministry of Works, specializing in papermaking. There is only one thing that needs to be done - faster, better and more large amounts of papermaking.

Before the ministers could react, Guo Peng had already successfully adopted the papermaking industry as an official business, and also granted Zuo Bo a title and an official position, allowing him to be responsible for manufacturing a larger amount of paper.

Zuo Bo was overjoyed and said that he still had a large amount of paper stock in Qingzhou and was willing to "dedicate" to the court and "dedicate" to His Majesty the Emperor to thank His Majesty for his kindness.

Guo Peng agreed with a smile.

This drama was finished smoothly.

This drama started to be established when Guo Peng was young, began to create scripts and find actors in his youth, and then began to direct. In middle age, he began to produce and prepare for release. Until now he became the emperor, the drama was finally released perfectly and finally ended.

It's almost the same, and it's been thirty years.

After thirty years of hard work, this paper has finally gained a foothold. In the reality that some people want to oppose but don’t know how to oppose it, it completely replaced the bamboo slips.

At noon that day, Guo Peng held a banquet at Huanglong Palace, inviting Zuo Bo and ten master papermakers who came to the capital with Zuo Bo, and gave them generous rewards.

In the afternoon, Guo Peng issued an imperial edict to the cabinet, asking the cabinet monks to connect with each other and make the imperial edict public.

The content is also very simple. From now on, the bamboo slips have been eliminated in the position of official documents in the court, and the paper is completely changed to using paper, striving to be lighter, portable and cheaper.

This move was first welcomed by the Ministry of Finance.

Wang Can, Minister of Finance, expressed his congratulations to Guo Peng, saying that obtaining this papermaking method would save the court a lot of money in purchasing paper and making bamboo slips every year, and the court's official expenses could be greatly reduced and turned into a fiscal surplus.

Then this incident quickly spread throughout the court, Luoyang, and to the world.

The history of using bamboo abbreviations to record events ended, and the era of using paper has arrived.

Many people realized the meaning of this matter as if they were waking up from a dream.

In short, due to the breakthrough in paper technology, the cost of papermaking has become extremely low. Bamboo slicing has no competitiveness in the face of paper that is so cheap and is particularly comfortable to use, and has been decisively eliminated.

All the departments responsible for making bamboo slips in the court were closed, and then they were completely incorporated into the Papermaking Department, and Zuo Bo's leadership was accepted, and they began to learn papermaking in full.

From then on, the cost of writing will be greatly reduced, and the retention rate of writing works will surely increase greatly. People will not see the changes for a while, but over time, this change will inevitably occur.

Some people have become worried when they see such a future, worried that the emergence and popularity of paper will reduce the cost of literacy learning, let more people learn to read, and thus reduce the competitiveness of scholars.

But most people don't see such a future.

They only saw the convenience and cheapness of paper, and it was very comfortable to write, far exceeding the experience of using bamboo slips, so they naturally abandoned bamboo slips.

Of course, it is not without people who are very resentful of the improvements in paper technology.

Those merchants who were originally engaged in bamboo slip manufacturing were very angry about this.

But it is useless. Under the tide of history, they cannot influence the decisions of the court at all.

This part of the income and the scholars controlled by the manipulated behind it must cut off this part of the income and suffer the consequences.

In early June of the sixth year of Yande, in order to express his joy in getting papermaking, Guo Peng decided to personally lead his ministers to worship Luoyang Confucian Temple.
