Kong Rong's sarcastic gaze swept across Xun Yu, Liu Ye's face and sneered. He turned around and bowed to the emperor. "I have no eyes, but I don't know what I recommend, and I can't bear the heavy responsibility. Please spare my young mansion and think about my mistakes in the closed door."

The emperor was in a dilemma and looked at Xun Yu and Liu Ye. Although Kong Rong was annoying, he was loyal and famous, so he was dismissed from office, which was not conducive to public opinion. Who would still be willing to come to Chang'an in the future?

Liu Ye was indifferent. Xun Yu was calm and bowed with a smile. "Your Majesty, I am presumptuous."

The emperor looked at Xun Yu and felt an indescribable strangeness. "Those who speak are innocent, so let the lord speak out."

"Only! I think that Your Majesty appointed Wen Ju as the Shaofu, with the intention of honoring famous ministers and rewarding loyalty, is not impossible, but the Shaofu is in charge of the royal family's finances and taxes, and the various supervisors are doing it, which is complicated and trivial. Now that the population of Guanzhong is insufficient, the taxes are sharply reduced. Your Majesty saves money and food for this, and all supervisors use it as official duties. The Shaofu has a name but no real person. It is not the way to use people."

The emperor nodded. He also regretted the appointment very much. "I am so happy to see Kong Jun, and I missed it."

Kong Rong watched coldly and said nothing.

"I think that the success of the gentleman is a gentleman. When the Han Dynasty survives and falls, we must not only revitalize the style of martial arts, reorganize the army and prepare for war, and quell the rebellion, but also correct the people's hearts, so that the people know their integrity and shame, understand the truth and falsehood, and believe in the court. The Master said: "Food food, enough soldiers, enough trust, and the soldiers can go away, but trust cannot be removed. Nowadays, people are in panic and come and go, so that the people can be promoted by such famous ministers and scholars, so that the people can believe in it. Sun Cewufu, and he still respects Cai Boyi, so that he can write history in Xiangyang. Yuan Tan's son also knows that Zheng Kangcheng should be respected to be famous. How can no one resist the court? I think that when it comes to virtue and talent, only Wenju can match it. When it comes to age, Wenju is just right and not confused, and it is better than Cai Boyi and Zheng Kangcheng. If he can entrust Wenju with important responsibilities, great achievements can be achieved."

The emperor understood and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at Kong Rong. "What do you think the young mansion thinks?"

Kong Rong understood that Xun Yu was annoyed and wanted to let him leave the emperor's side. The emperor also had such thoughts, but he was embarrassed to say that he would borrow Xun Yu's mouth. But he didn't care. He thought this matter was very important, and as Xun Yu said, no one could do this more appropriately than him. This was simply fate. In the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the etiquette and music were broken, and his ancestor Confucius sorted out the Six Classics and left the Taoist tradition for China. Now that the Han Dynasty is in a dilemma, no one knows whether it can survive again. He cannot save this chaotic era, but he can at least leave some records for later generations, and he cannot let Cai Yong be a one-man show.

"I am honored." Kong Rong turned around and looked at Xun Yu. "Writing historical compositions, other supplies can be saved, but paper and pen cannot be saved. Can you guarantee timely supply?"

"I can't guarantee it, but I will supply it in time. There is paper in Guanzhong and smoke and ink in Nanshan. I think it's not a big problem." Xun Yu said, taking out another roll of paper. "When Wenju is done, I will try every means to raise funds and print it to the world for Wenju to face the audio."

"Sign up?" Not only Kong Rong was stunned, but even the emperor and Liu Ye were shocked and exclaimed in constant surprise.

"Yes, I just got the craftsmanship of the book printing workshop." Xun Yu paused and said, "Strictly speaking, this is no longer a secret. Sun Ce announced the craftsmanship of the book printing workshop, and I only knew it a few days earlier. It won't take long before many craftsmanship will be built in Guanzhong."

The emperor and Liu Ye and Kong Rong looked at each other. The sealing shop was a powerful weapon of Sun Ce. The books in Nanyang and Pingyu Printing were very popular and were the first to give gifts to each other by literati and scholars. The recently printed set of "Shuowen Jiezi" was even more popular in Chang'an. It has a price but no market, and many people have to book. Why did he suddenly announce the printing process and give up this great source of wealth?

"What's going on? Is it true or not?" Kong Rong took the scroll of paper and looked closely, and quickly closed his mouth. The secret of printing the book is actually very simple, very similar to the stele. It just turns the inscription written in the right way into a reverse-written printing plate. The others are very simple, and it's worthless to say it. Kong Rong felt deceived and was furious. "Since you already know the way to print the book, why not print the article first to refute Cai Yan's poisonous behavior?"

Xun Yu was not in a hurry. "It's not that I don't want it, but that I can't. First, if there is a craft, you may not be able to print it. Build a bookstore and then transport the craft to reality. It will not be possible to achieve it in less than two months. Second, if the craftsmanship of the printing book cannot be clearly derived, it may be invented by a woman. I am worried that Wen Ju will not be despised, so I don't say it."

Kong Rong's cheeks twitched twice, and he closed his mouth tactfully. If weaving and tailoring clothes is a woman's duty, it's okay to wear clothes made by women. This article is all for men, but now women invent the skills of printing books. As a man, he is indeed a bit embarrassed.

Seeing Kong Rong shut up and no longer making noise, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt incomprehensible. "Why did Sun Ce announce the craftsmanship of printing the book? Could it be a conspiracy?"

Liu Ye shook his head. "Your Majesty, this is not a conspiracy, it is an open conspiracy."

"oh?"

Liu Ye looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Lingjun, do you know why Sun Ce wanted to announce this craft?"

"I heard a little bit, saying that the Cai family monopolized the printing process, which caused the price of books to be extremely high. Sun Ce announced the printing process and encouraged more people to set up printing workshops to reduce the price of books. He said that ordinary people can afford books and read books. I thought that although he did this, he certainly had the idea of ​​promoting education, and also solved the problem of Nanyang Paper Floor's sales. After several years of development, the Nanyang Paper Floor's craftsmanship has matured, and the output has doubled compared to a few years ago. The profit of paper is high, and other prefectures and counties will not sit idly by and will definitely build paper shops. Who will sell so much paper to? Sun Ce had to consider this issue. Only by reducing the price of books is too low to print, the paper shop will have profitable results and will not lose money due to unsalable sales."

The emperor sighed. "This is a killing two birds with one stone, it is indeed a conspiracy."

Xun Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a killing of two birds with one stone, but a killing of four birds with one stone."

"Get four birds with one stone?"

"Yes, there are more bookstores, and more craftsmen are needed, and more places for craftsmen to go to. In order to retain them, the Yinfang must increase commissions. This is the third achievement. The price of books has dropped, and the people can afford to read books, and more and more people will read literacy and sly. Among these people, there are only a few who are talented in studying the classics of saints. Most of them will become craftsmen and merchants in the future. This is the fourth achievement." Xun Yu picked up the "Shi Lun" on the case and shook gently. "Your Majesty, can you imagine how many craftsmen and merchants will be under Sun Ce's rule in a few years?"

The emperor's expression changed drastically, and he sat in front of the desk without saying anything for a long time. Liu Ye also sat there motionlessly. He reacted faster than the emperor and had already understood everything, but he had no choice but to do anything. Conspiracy can be broken, and open conspiracy is hard to defeat. Since Sun Ce dared to announce the printing process, he was not afraid that they would follow him. In fact, they could not learn it either.

Sun Ce used the "Shi Lun" to create public opinion, promote equality between men and women, and the four people are respected together. Can Guanzhong do it? They can drive Kong Rong to the book, but they cannot let Kong Rong shut up with those old ministers. Even without public opinion resistance, the population of Guanzhong is less than 200,000, and it is not even comparable to Nanyang. How can we compete with Sun Ce? In the long run, this is a situation of failure.
