"Liu Yi of Nanyang, see the Marquis of Changling."

Chen Mo looked at the young man in front of him. Now Chen Mo is qualified to call others young people, regardless of his seniority or age.

He looks good, especially when he is standing next to Dian Wei. He also has the vigor of a young man. The most important thing is that he does not have the sense of humility that comes with ordinary craftsmen.

You must know that even though Ma Jun is now at the ministerial level and can go to court and participate in politics, most of the time he will be respectful to other officials, even those with a lower rank than himself. This is true, but Chen Mo needs someone who can shoulder the responsibility.

Those who bear the banner of craftsmen stand in the court and are equal to others. Otherwise, even if they are ministers, they cannot improve the status of craftsmen in people's hearts.

"Not bad." Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction. This first impression was very good. He looked at Liu Yi and nodded with a smile: "Sit down, no need to be polite!"

"Thank you so much, Marquis Changling." Liu Yi thanked him and knelt down where Chen Mo was.

For the first time, Chen Mo wanted to see Liu Yi's fortune. It didn't matter if he didn't. At first glance, Chen Mo's expression changed. If he hadn't had enough concentration, he might have stood up at this moment.

Liu Yi

Craftsman God’s destiny: 78

Luck: 84

Is it high?

It's not high. Among the people Chen Mo met, for example, Lu Bu's Greedy Wolf destiny was almost at full value, and his wife Cai Yan's Young Phoenix destiny also exceeded ninety. In addition, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, and Li Ru's destiny

Not low either.

But this is destiny. Before ordinary people become a scholar, most of them have their destiny. Very few people have condensed their destiny. Even Chen Mo's destiny was condensed step by step after he became an official.

It's amazing that a craftsman already has a destiny in the wilderness, and his destiny is immortal. So far, Chen Mo has only met two. One is Zuo Ci, who has a half-immortal destiny, and the other is right in front of him.

Liu Yi, the destiny of the God of Craftsmanship.

Xu Shu said that Liu Yi was a strange man, and he was right.

After calming down his somewhat surprised emotions, Chen Mo still had a spring-like smile on his face, but his smile was brighter than before. This was because God was helping him.

"I've heard for a long time that the people in Jingxiang are outstanding, and now it seems that they are indeed extraordinary." Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile: "I heard from Yuan Zhi that Boyuan has quite wonderful ideas, and what he does is beneficial to the world.

."

"It's Mr. Yuan Zhi who expressed his love." Liu Yi shook his head: "But Yi does have something he wants to offer to Marquis Changling."

"Oh?" Chen Mo heard Xu Shu say it, but Xu Shu kept it secret and only said that this thing would be of great use to Chen Mo, but did not say what it was, so Chen Mo was also very curious about what Liu Yi was going to take out.

Looking at Liu Yi, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Can I take a look?"

"That's what I meant." When it came to business, Liu Yi looked serious and looked at Dian Wei: "Please also ask the general to bring the things I brought."

Worried about assassination, Dian Wei withheld the things Liu Yi brought.

"Go." Chen Mo nodded towards Dian Wei.

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed, ran outside the door, and took the box Liu Yi brought from the guard.

Liu Yi put the box down, opened it under Dian Wei's vigilant eyes, took out a wooden board from the box, and then took out several pieces of paper and ink, asking Dian Wei to hand it to Chen Mo.

"This..." Chen Mo fumbled with the paper that was handed over and frowned: "It doesn't seem to be Cai Hou paper."

Of course, there is paper in Luoyang, but it is different from the paper in hand. The texture feels much worse, and in appearance, the paper Liu Yi gave Chen Mo looks more high-end.

"I have made some improvements based on Caihou paper." Liu Yi bowed and said, "It is more convenient to write on this kind of paper."

"Oh?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up, he looked at the papers, smiled and nodded. He quickly thought of the use of these papers, and said with a smile: "This alone is beneficial to the world."

Although Caihou paper has been around for a long time, Cai Lun originally made paper to replace bamboo slips, but in fact, Caihou paper is inconvenient to write on and preserve, and ink is easy to spread. The paper in front of him has a thicker texture, and Chen Mo tried to write

A few words, the ink marks are condensed and not scattered, which is indeed more suitable for preservation than Caihou paper. This thing can at least replace part of the functions of the bamboo slips.

Chen Mo then looked at the wooden board again.

Instead of asking, he picked it up and looked at it carefully. He looked at the words protruding in reverse, and then looked at the ink and white paper Liu Yi handed over. Chen Mo spread the paper on the wooden board, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to have thought of something.

What, then turn the wooden board to the direction and ask Dian Wei to find a brush, apply the ink evenly on the rubbing board, and cover it with paper.

"Okay!" Chen Mo took off the paper, looked at the clear words on the paper, nodded repeatedly, and showed a cheerful smile on his face.

"This thing is not only beneficial to the world!" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Liu Yi and said: "This is something that will benefit all generations."

"The words of Marquis Changling are serious." Liu Yi stood up quickly. He just thought that this thing would be beneficial to the Three Studies Summary that Chen Mo is now promoting, but Liu Yi had never thought about it benefiting all generations.

"Is it serious?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Liu Yi and said, "This thing is related to the inheritance of our Chinese culture. Do you think it is serious?"

Liu Yi didn't think so much. He thought about it at this moment, but it was almost the same. This was something that could replace bamboo slips and print books in batches.

"Liu Yi!" Chen Mo put down the rubbing board, his expression suddenly became serious, he looked at Liu Yi and said in a deep voice.

"Here!" Liu Yi stood up subconsciously.

"Will you work for me?" Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi with burning eyes. This is the talent he needs, and it is urgently needed. Although Ma Jun is quick-thinking and has extremely high attainments and ideas in this craftsmanship, Ma Jun

Jun is still too conservative, and he is too humble and even humble. He needs talents like Liu Yi who can break the rules.

"I'm willing." Liu Yi nodded. If he didn't want to, he wouldn't run to Wancheng. If he didn't want to, he wouldn't come to Luoyang with Lu Bu to meet Chen Mo.

"You are superior to Ma Jun in terms of talent and potential, but there are official rules in officialdom. I can't give you Ma Jun's position. He has contributed to the court." Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi, thought for a while and said:

"And this thing has not yet come out. I will first promote this new paper in your name."

If we only promote paper, no one will refuse, especially the scholar-bureaucrats. Chen Mo is very clear about the appeal of this thing to scholars.

"I will build a workshop for you on the pretext of making paper. I will tell the outside world that I am making paper. The official position will not be too high, but I will have absolute autonomy. I will give you a group of good craftsmen at your disposal. In addition, there will also be a group of books.

You need to help me make rubbings. If you need anything, the court will help you collect it. What I need is that you make rubbings of all kinds of books for me within a year. The more, the better. If you don’t have enough manpower, you can add more.

, but the more, the merrier." Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi and said in a deep voice.

If this rubbing technique is promoted together with this new paper, some people will definitely be dissatisfied, which will lead to a reduction in the cost of reading for many poor families and the proliferation of books, and people's acceptance will also have to be a step-by-step process.

Chen Mo will arrange for people to make some hand-copied books and let the academy students copy the books themselves in the academy. This will not cause dissatisfaction among the people.

After the handwritten books reach a certain range, Chen Mo plans to use some small means, such as having people copy the books to sell, and then these books will start to flow into the market through vendors in large quantities. After the academy is saturated, they can flow outside the academy.

Gradually let the books proliferate, and when these become a fait accompli, the rubbing printing technology will be introduced.

The process is almost like this.

"Yi, take the order!" Liu Yi quickly bowed to Chen Mo and said.

"Bo Yuan doesn't have to be so polite." Chen Mo put down the rubbing board, looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile, "Sit down and tell me, I heard that you are quite romantically involved with Marquis Wen's daughter?"

Liu Yi's face flashed, and he nodded and said: "It's just that I have a low status and have never dared to come to propose marriage."

It's okay for others, even if they are from aristocratic families, they will be kicked out at worst, but Lu Bu... Liu Yi was afraid of being chopped down, so he was always trembling in front of Lu Bu.

"I'll help you with this matter." Chen Mo said with a smile: "I will do the matchmaking for you personally. You don't have to worry about Marquis Wen. Just wait and recognize this father-in-law."

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it first. And with this marriage relationship, can Liu Yi still be able to run?

"Thank you, Lord!" Liu Yi was overjoyed and stood up quickly.

"But there are some things that need to be said first." Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liu Yi and said: "You should be very clear about Marquis Wen's temper. Lingqi is also my niece. Although I have never met her, she will be affected by it in the future.

In order to bully her, let alone Marquis Wen causing trouble for you, since I facilitated this matter, then don’t blame me for taking out her anger."

"No." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled.

Looking at Liu Yi who could no longer hold back his smile, Chen Mo shook his head. Young man, life after marriage is not as optimistic as you think.

"Are there any relatives at home?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"My mother is still here." Liu Yi bowed and said.

"Take it over. You won't be able to go to Nanyang when the time comes to get married. Since my mother is here, I will take care of you. She will settle here in Luoyang from now on. It's easy to take care of her. I will arrange a mansion for you." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Here!" Liu Yi nodded in agreement. There were some rules that Chen Mo didn't say, but he understood and didn't reject them. And as Chen Mo said, since he was valued by Chen Mo, he would definitely stay in Luoyang in the future, leaving his mother unattended at home.

Of course not, there is nothing wrong with Chen Mo's arrangement.

"Let's choose a mansion first. There are many mansions in Luoyang that no one has lived in yet. I heard Yuan Zhi say that you have a very elegant bamboo house in Nanyang. If you don't like it, you can build one yourself and the court will pay for it.

." Chen Mo looked at Liu Yi, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

"Thank you, lord. I'll take my leave." Liu Yi nodded. He didn't have high requirements for these things, even if they were a little off, as long as the place was big enough.

"Dianwei."

"exist!"

"Have someone take my warrant and follow Boyuan to choose a mansion." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said.
