Chapter 131 The death knell of the gate (1)

On this land in Xuzhou, Liu Bei was busy farming along the river. Lu Bu was busy killing people everywhere. It’s true that Liu Bei was kind and self-reliant in his work, and was sincere and kind to others. Lu Bu was cruel and ruthless in his work. Killing people was like killing a chicken. Although these two people were destined to not be able to pee in the same pot and had constant conflicts, the effect was particularly good.

Of course, for them, being good people means being famous every day, and the world will be remembered, while being evil people means being infamous and everyone will despise them.

Zang Ba, who was far away in Langya, was busy setting up a large army to rush to Qingzhou.

If you don’t have to hurry, then Changxi might really flee to Yecheng. This bastard did such a big thing for his own glory and wealth, but he was still injured and killed, but he cheated them of more than 200,000 Taishan bandits.

In dealing with such traitors, six powerful leaders, Zang Ba, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Xiao Jian, Sun Guan and Sun Kang, unanimously decided to clear the portal. Since these six people have decided to attack Qingzhou, the opinions of the remaining leaders are naturally not important.

The next day, the bandits of Mount Tai drew out more than 30,000 young and strong soldiers and rushed to Qingzhou in a mighty manner.

At this time, Liu Xie was not interested in the upcoming Qingzhou war and the wars everywhere in Xuzhou. Instead, he left Xia Pi and came to Qu County in Donghai County, which is the hometown of the Mi family in Xuzhou.

There are now troubles everywhere in Xuzhou. Almost every county has officials working with shackles. Liu Xie also knows that this is not good. These minor officials are real parents. It is definitely not a long-term solution to supervise them with such high pressure.

It is not only helping oneself abdication, but also helping the people under the rule. It is time to think of a solution.

Mi Zhu, who came with the army, was so excited that he woke up in the morning that he bit his tongue and didn't even notice it. He went home three days in advance, and then he didn't sleep for a few hours after adding a piece of money in the past three days.

Although the Mi family had selflessly contributed 2,000 servants to Liu Bei and had bitten the bullet and raised 100 million yuan for the emperor's expenses, the Mi family is worthy of being half of Xuzhou. It is built like this and there is still plenty of effort.

Especially a few months ago, their Mi family became the so-called imperial merchant, and the emperor who followed closely regained his authority and showed his emperor's character, in just over three months, there were countless merchants, craftsmen, and slaves who actively regained their vitality.

When Liu Xie stepped into the official road in Qu County, he felt that the official road was as clean as if it had been licked by his tongue.

Liu Xie first inspected some workshops of the Mi family, asked about the Mi family's recent business status and the sales of perfumes, soaps, etc., and formally authorized these two things to Mi Zhu's factory to make, and taught them an advanced production model called "assembly line" with great creativity.

As the Mi family grew stronger and stronger, Liu Xie's inner treasury has become richer and richer, especially after he regained his authority, he no longer had to pay the court officials' salaries.

The money earned by the Mi family gave him the cost of doing the palace. Not only was it enough to spend, but it also had more and more surplus, and it saved up and didn't spend it.

"Zi Zhong, you did it well, you did it really well. I'll think of a way to see how you can get some of the military merits of the emperor. If you make military merits, you can also be named a marquis."

When Mi Zhu heard this, he was naturally ecstatic.

"They are all wise and powerful emperors, and I really don't dare to take credit for me."

Liu Xie turned around again, and finally waved his hand and asked Mi Zhu to demolish a relatively empty place in the west of the county town, specifically to make it into a factory area, specifically to allow the Mi family, the imperial merchant, to produce treasures authorized by the emperor.

Then he took out something and said, "Zi Zhong, look at what this is."

"Is this... this... paper?"

Liu Xie nodded and said, "No, it's just paper."

"How could this paper be so white?"

"Oh, the whiteness is because a layer of fine white wax was applied during the production. This is high-end paper and can be sold more expensively. My paper is different from Cai Hou's paper. His paper is made of fishing nets, rags, tree bark, etc. The paper made is relatively difficult to store, and the color is dark, so it is slightly inconvenient to use."

"My papermaking method is similar in principle to Caihou Paper, but the raw material manufacturers are different. The main ones use straw. The cost is a little higher than his. Caihou Paper is light gray, and my paper is dark yellow. For high-end paper, you just need to apply a thin layer of wax on the basis of it."

Mi Zhu said excitedly: "It is indeed a clever trick. From then on, the ministers will express their opinions, but they no longer need to use heavy wooden slips. This thing will definitely be popular in the world. This is the blessing of all the scholars in the world."

Liu Xie shook his head and said, "I made this thing not to make money."

"Then this is..."

"I created this thing because although Cai Hou's paper is barely usable, it cannot be used for printing."

"print?"

"Come on, let me demonstrate the technique of movable type printing to you."

…………

An hour later, Mi Zhu, who saw the emperor's movable type printing technique, was already sweating profusely and couldn't even stand firmly.

Of course, he would not believe that the emperor did this just because the scholars were too troublesome to copy books, so he specially invented such a printing technique to reduce their burden.

This is not a piece of paper, it is clearly a storm that will sweep the whole world!

"I dare to ask the emperor, what are we printing these first batch of books? Who should we read them?"

"The first batch of books were printed and explained. By the way, I heard that Chen, Runan, is very good at mathematics. Chen Chi, that's right."

Chen Chi, who was following her, was sweating all over his forehead, but he nodded in horror.

"Would you like to publish the family education you passed down in your home and print it into a book? Well... Of course, your Chen family's name will be marked on the books."

"this……"

"Why, you don't want to?"

"No, I dare not, it is my honor to be able to spread my family knowledge throughout the world."

"Very good, so let's do it first. Print the Shuowen Jiezi into books and arrange for the soldiers of the imperial guards and the soldiers of the Suwei to read. Within March, be sure to let them basically read. As for those soldiers who are already literate, learn mathematics well. Chen Chi, if you go and be a teacher for them, if you can't teach them by yourself, please bring your Chen family together. Or will it take March? If you teach me some rewards, mistakes, and punishments. I understand?"

What else could Chen Chi say? He had to sigh deeply again, bow his head and bow.

"There are many officials who have resigned on the ground in Xuzhou recently. The boys have learned it, so let's replace the officials who have handed out their resignations. It is not easy to work in a shackle. We will examine whether they have any fish and meat in the countryside. Let them exile those who should be exiled and go to jail."
