Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 297

So as not to be rubbed in the latrine by them!

But after thinking about it, Xia Houzhe dismissed this idea.

If one day I, or my mother-in-law, walk away and can't open the lock... then what should I do?Stand still or what to do?

The lady in the pants...will it be marinated?Can she still use it?

"Get out! Don't come to my house to go to the latrine! Now you have eaten my house's food and returned the shit to my house?"

A few people smiled shamelessly:

"It's called eating and returning, and it's not difficult to eat any more!"

Xia Houzhe was speechless, this group of people were completely shameless!

"Cai Lungai's papermaking technique can only use tree bark as raw materials. Because there are not many raw materials and the process is relatively complicated, the output is not high and the supply exceeds demand, so the price is expensive!"

"But after I improve it, I'm not limited to using bark! I can also use bamboo, straw, and waste paper as raw materials! There are bamboos all over the mountains and plains, so why don't you run out of paper?"

"And the craftsmanship will be much simpler! When my output increases, I will make all those paper sellers go out of business! Ma De, you bought toilet paper yesterday, and you actually overcharged me by ten copper coins! I'm so angry!"

Hearing this, Guo Jia and the others were shocked and excited.

For them literati, paper is a very important and commonly used thing.

But... the price is really too expensive!As a result, they didn't dare to write more!

In the past, they used bamboo tiles and tree leaves to go to the hut.

I accidentally cut the flower, and it was only after I went to Xiahouzhe's place to work and saved up that I started to use paper instead of bamboo.

"What! Yuanyi, what you said is true? Can you really improve Cai Lun's papermaking technique?"

"Hiss... this technique... Yuanyi, you are going to be famous through the ages again!"

"If, as you said, bamboo can also be used as a raw material, it will definitely increase production!"

Seeing the shock of several civil servants under his command, Cao Cao also swallowed his saliva.

"Brother, count me in! I, Cao Mengde, invested in this project! From my business perspective, this paper definitely has a huge market!"

Cao Cao knew that by following this guy, he would only make money but not lose money!It's over with investment shares!

Xia Houzhe nodded, not too entangled.

"Okay! Count yourself in! When the time comes, you will repair the factory, and you will provide workers and guards! I will provide technology!"

"As for the share... I'll give you more, this time Sanqi! How about it?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and immediately made a decision: "Okay! You can tell me how you want to build it! I will take care of it! There are [-]% profits, and you can ask me to do whatever you want!"

Xia Houzhe smiled coldly.

"You want to fart! You three, I seven!"

Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he was suddenly unhappy.

"What are you doing! It's all my money, and I'm only three?"

"That's not right! If I don't give the technology, no matter how much you pay, it won't work! Do you want to do it? If you don't do it, I will directly cooperate with my uncle!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth: "Fuck it! As long as you let me do it, [-]% of the time will be [-]%! I'll take care of your stuff!"

Anyway, after working for Xia Houzhe a lot, Cao Cao is used to being a tool man.

Just make money!

This big deal was negotiated under the witness of several people.

Seeing Guo Jia and the others, they were very envious, and they also wanted to participate in the shares, but they had nothing to sell!No land if you want land, no money if you want money.

I can only watch Cao Cao make money.

"Oh, by the way, dear brother! What kind of brush are you talking about, there is still life... What is it, what is it? I've never heard of it!"

Cao Cao looked at the blueprints and suddenly remembered two other things that Xia Houzhe had mentioned just now.

Xia Houzhe curled his lips and gave Cao Cao a middle finger.

"It's called woodblock printing, and movable type printing... This is an artifact for producing textbooks! As long as we have them, we can mass-produce books!"

Hearing this, everyone gasped again!

Batch... make books in batches?

My mother!

How precious books are, people like them from the gentry fully understand!

"My dear brother, why do you suddenly want to do this? Aren't you too lazy to die? Is it just to make money?"

Cao Cao looked at him suspiciously, just the salted fish who didn't bother to move, suddenly told you, I worked hard!

I feel very strange!

Hearing this, Xia Houzhe stretched out his hand, and embraced the soft and boneless Cai Yan into his arms, his eyes gently scratched the tip of her nose, full of pampering.

I haven't seen each other for two months. Cai Yan and Xue Yan had a crazy night last night.

Little goodbye is better than newlyweds...

"Oh! This! Little Zhaoji discussed with old head Cai, saying that she would come up with textbooks to teach in Little Sunflower's father's classroom, and discussed expanding the school!"

"But the paper in the world is too expensive. Making these textbooks is not only costly, but also very laborious! To write one by one, I will not be able to write a few books when I am old."

"I thought, if we want the country to be rich and the people strong, and if we want to have more talents, then we have to start from childhood! We have to popularize education so that everyone under our command can read books!"

"At the very least... our descendants must have books to read! So... I dragged my exhausted body and started to fight! No matter how hard and tired I am, I can't suffer for the children!"

Xia Houzhe sighed, and looked up at the sky with extremely deep eyes.

He felt that there should be a golden light of merit on his body at this moment!

Seeing his compassionate look, Cao Cao and others all looked at him suspiciously, and didn't believe a word of his words.

"You will be so diligent? The sun comes out from the west? Just because you want to make the country rich and the people strong? It's not like we don't know who you are! Don't mess with these vain brains!"

"That's right! If you can lie down and never sit down, a man with advanced procrastination, it's a ghost of you to take the initiative to do this!"

Xia Houzhe dodged his eyes: "Of course I took the initiative! Believe me!"

【Made!If it wasn't for my Zhao Ji, who blew the pillow wind and threatened that I would not do it, she would bring her little sisters to squeeze me every day!How could I get up and make this thing! 】

【hey-hey!After I made this, Lao Caitou said that I would compile my collection of Xia Houzhe's poems into the textbook! 】

[In this way, I can also go down in history!The descendants of later generations will all appreciate the talent of my uncle Xiahou! 】

Hearing this, Cao Cao fell into thinking.

I knew right away that you didn't do it voluntarily!But... being able to create these things is of great use!

What is the biggest advantage of today's gentry?

It is a book!

It's what they live on.

Not to mention others, just the gentry like Yingchuan, who doesn't have a pile of books at home?

You can't be called a noble without books!

Another one is that there are few books in the Han Dynasty, and they are all controlled by the big family.

Common people basically can't read books, and those who can read are nobles!

And now there is no imperial examination system, if you want to be an official, you can only be a filial piety, or revolt and become a local emperor yourself.

But to be filial and honest, you must first have official connections, and secondly, you must have real talents and practical learning!To read a lot of books.

Otherwise who will promote you?

Therefore, this has created a situation where talents always come from big families.

Among the common people, there are quite a few who can stand out!

Because there are no books, there is nothing to learn!

The nobles are always strong, but the common people are always weak!

Monopolizing books is tantamount to monopolizing talents!

Cao Cao cheered up instantly when he thought that there would be a place where a large number of books could be produced under his command.

Chapter 345 Lanxiang and New Oriental

"Brother! This is good! If we can make more books, then we can train a large number of talents under our command!"

"In the long run, our talents in Yanzhou will overwhelm other states! If we have talents, are we afraid that our strength will not be strong?"

"At that time, I, Yanzhou, will become a holy place for all the students of Dahan!"

"And... a large number of books can also shake and attack the monopoly of the gentry on talents! This will weaken the influence of the gentry!"

Cao Cao and the others were all happy!

He understands the importance of talents!

Just like Yuan Shu, he has enough soldiers and horses, but he just can't achieve any results!

Just because...he doesn't have a military advisor, not even a dog-headed military advisor!

Unexpectedly, the huge and deep-rooted gentry clan feared both the imperial power and the bureaucrats.

Because Xia Houzhe is such a powerless person, his influence will be weakened a lot, Cao Cao sighed for a while.

This guy... is really the bane of the gentry!

But a few seconds later, I didn't know what to think of, and my brows frowned again.

"Then this thing is made, do you want to promote it? If it is promoted, it will definitely touch the foundation of other nobles, and I'm afraid it will cause resistance among the nobles in the world!"

Cao Cao has his own concerns, if you touch the big fat of those gentry, they will definitely bite you!

Even if you are a fierce tiger, you can't hold back a pack of wolves!

There must be some gentry who can't sit still because of the massive promotion of textbooks.

Your poor family can produce a large number of talents, how can the gentry monopolize it?How to maintain a noble status?

This is bleeding their blood!How could they agree!

After thoroughly offending these gentry, Cao Cao will definitely encounter great resistance when he conquers other states and counties in the future!

This is what he doesn't want to see. After all, the gentry can seriously affect even the imperial power.

Xia Houzhe shrugged rather rascally.

"It's none of my business! You decide whether you want to promote it, anyway, I just make things!"

Cao Cao frowned, and looked at Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and others.

Several people were shocked, except for Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and Xunyu were all from noble families.

Of course they won't come up with random ideas. If it spreads in the future, they will definitely be complained by other gentry, and even killed.

Several people whistled and turned their heads to one side.

The angry Cao Cao who was paddling almost exploded!

What use do I want you to be!What can you do besides paddling?

You are not turtles!What water!Made, I have to rely on myself!

Cao Cao closed his eyes and thought for three seconds, then instantly gave up the idea of ​​using his own brain.

I don't use the cheating device, I am thinking about it myself!

"Hey! Brother! Help me think of an idea! How can I increase the number of talents under my command without offending other gentry?"

Xia Houzhe squinted at Cao Cao:

"What's the good of me? Always make me do things that are not thankful!"

He can naturally think of things that everyone can think of.

Of course, he is not afraid of the gentry harming him at all, but he just doesn't want to trouble him!
