Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

The various tribes of the grasslands followed one after another, and Zhao Yun and Guo Jia returned to the Great Wei with a large population of cattle and sheep.

And the soldiers who entered the dynasty and reported good news were already one step ahead of them, and within a few days, they had already left and entered the imperial city.

The conquest of Xianbei was the first war after the founding of the Great Wei Empire, and it was also the largest war fought by the descendants of China with foreign countries for thousands of years.

Zhao Yun's victory is of great significance!

So the emperor, Cao Yang, convened a group of ministers to comment on the battle in the hall, and agreed on a reward.

Cao Yang threw bricks to attract jade: "The Great Wei Empire won the first battle, Zilong and Fengxiao killed 100,000 enemies, destroyed the royal court, gained countless cattle and horses, and even detained the nobles of the Xianbei tribes back to Beijing as hostages, what do you think, how should I award the reward? "

The following ministers have heard about this, and they all look excited!

Xun Yu then said: "Your Majesty! After the founding of the Great Wei Empire, the first military action was to launch a war to conquer foreign tribes! This is different from any dynasties in the past, even if it was the first emperor who had conquered all directions, he still had no power. Make the northern grassland people completely surrender! The minister believes that Zhao Yun and Guo Jia have allowed His Majesty's prestige to be displayed in a wider area, which is of great significance! It is better to use the Junji Mountain as a fief and let the descendants of Zilong guard the grassland for generations. Strengthen my great Wei Shengwei!"

Ju Shou, however, said: "It is true that Junji Mountain was built by General Zhao, and it is understandable to use it as a fief, but I think this fief is far too far! This is the iconic battle in which my Wei has won over all dynasties and dynasties. The hero of the war was to be relocated there by the family. After that, who would dare to fight against foreigners and win the war? Wouldn’t the family have to live in Goguryeo if they went to fight in Goguryeo?

Xun Yu nodded immediately: "I didn't think about it.

So Cao Yang nodded: "That's settled, let Zilong Yao lead Junji Mountain, and be responsible for patrolling the grasslands in the future, to ensure that the Xianbei people will always surrender to the Great Wei!"

Zhuge Liang also said: "His Majesty's various armies, Zilong's banner has been victorious, and the morale of the generals has been greatly boosted. We should reward Zilong and Fengxiao to inspire other soldiers!"

"That's it!"

Soon, the rewards of Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were decided, and Cao Yang changed the conversation: "Everyone, as the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend the world! This grassland is already conquered, but how can we ensure that the grassland people will always surrender to me, Wei Wei in the future. ?"

Zhuge Liang immediately laughed: "Liang has thought about this issue over and over again. In the past, there were generals like Meng Tian and Huo Qubing who attacked foreign enemies in the grasslands, but there were still foreigners who did not serve as ministers, so force could not solve this problem. After all, we You can't kill them all, cattle, sheep and horses, and you have to count on them.

The minister heard that Zilong had kidnapped many noble children. This method can only be used temporarily, but it cannot be used forever. After all, after a tribe has changed leaders, how can they still care about the life and death of those protons.

Therefore, I felt that if I could teach these noble children with Confucian knowledge, and let them go back to be the leaders of various ministries after they have completed their studies, in the long run, the Xianbei people will be educated and they will be willing to respect us as the master!

Of course, there are some auxiliary things needed here!

For example, a high-pressure situation should be used to formulate a system. Nobles who have not entered the court to study are not allowed to be tribal leaders, and Xianbei children who are not good at their studies and cannot pass the examination cannot go back to be leaders. This will ensure that their leaders, It is easier to accept our culture, to know the shame of robbing others, and to know the glory of self-reliance!

Then there is the establishment of academies in the grasslands, and those with excellent learning can serve in various ministries in the grasslands, and the imperial court can offer generous salaries and even give them privileges, so that the Xianbei people can advocate Confucianism!

And so on, with a multi-pronged approach, the Xianbei people will surely be tamed!"

However, Xun Yu immediately raised the biggest problem: "Kong Ming's idea can be called perfect, but the problem is, to do this, it needs a lot of books! And today's books, almost all rely on transcription It is difficult to get it, and it has been written for a long time. It is clumsy and unlucky. It is difficult to set up an academy in our Dawei. I want to go to the grassland.

That is hard!

Zhuge nodded brightly: "So, it depends on Your Majesty, I am afraid that only His Majesty can do this kind of thing.

Cao Yang then pondered.

The advancement of this technology is a cumulative process.

Books that are obtained in large quantities are preferably printing. The reason why printing has not appeared so far is that the cost of papermaking is too high, and the quality of paper is not high.

Papermaking? Cao Yang will!

So Cao Yang went to court and immediately ordered people to bring raw materials for papermaking from all over the world.

First, a batch of mulberry trees were dispatched to Beijing, followed by materials such as carambola and hollyhock.

The texture of the mulberry branch is uniform. After a long time of soaking and decolorization, the white part inside is taken out, as if it was boiled in a large pot, then dried in the sun, then boiled once or twice, and finally fished out. At this time, the mulberry branch is relatively soft. , After being hammered in the pulp pond, water is injected, and then the potion prepared with star fruit vine, hollyhock and other materials is used to achieve the effect of thickening and solidification.

Then use the bamboo curtain to pick up the pulp, which is the prototype of paper.

At this time, the paper, like a soaked cotton blanket, is dense, firm, and well-proportioned. After careful fire roasting, the paper can condense on it.

The paper is then formed by separating the paper by a craftsman.

This process has reached the level of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the key lies in the preparation of the mysterious potion.

After the paper was finished, Cao Yang tried it out, and the paper was 477 absorbent. When the brush fell, the ink would solidify immediately and would not flow out. Moreover, the paper had good flexibility and could be folded and unfolded freely.

Of course, it's not enough to make paper, Cao Yang also has to make movable type printing out.

The essence of this movable type printing technique is that the block is an independent thing and can be used many times until the block is polished.

The key to making this type of block lies in the writing level of the negative script.

However, Dahan Confucianism was respected, and many people would write this incantation. Among them, Cai Yong and others were the representatives, and they could be said to be the pinnacles of this talent.

Therefore, Cao Yang recruited several people to enter the court, carefully selected them, and made several sets of negative scripts for almost all the characters.

Soon, the "Analects of Confucius" was first tried, mass printing using movable type printing.

Cao Yang took care of the knife himself. After all the words were lined up, Cao Yang immediately took a brush and dipped ink on the words. Then he accurately covered the paper and smoothed it with his hands. the ink, then onto the paper.

There was very little ink, and Cao Yang dried it after a few blows.

The craftsmen in the back immediately painted the scoops according to the gourds, and not long after, one hundred copies of the Analects of Confucius were published.
