The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 605 The Calculations of All Parties

The issue of the new paper is actually just a small issue in essence. Compared with many government affairs of the inner government, no one pays attention to it.

So when Wang Yun came forward to talk about this matter, everyone in the palace couldn't help being puzzled for a while.

Of course, Hubu Shangshu Tian Feng immediately looked at Wang Yun vigilantly. When he was about to speak, Xun Chen who was beside him sneered first: "It's just a new kind of paper in the market. Wang Shangshu thinks it's inappropriate?"

After buying an official earlier, Xun Chen now has no good feelings for these aristocratic families.

Wang Yun didn't care about the targeted meaning in Xun Chen's tone, instead he twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen this new paper with your own eyes?"

As soon as this remark came out, only a few people in the field shook their heads, and most of them nodded.

After all, the new paper has been on sale for several days, and the officials of the inner government are also scholars, so they will naturally go to buy some.

Seeing everyone nodding, Wang Yun continued to laugh and said: "This new paper is several times stronger than Caihou paper, and it is extremely easy to write on. It is really a rare good product."

In history, after Cai Lun invented papermaking, he immediately dedicated it to Emperor Han He.It's a pity that the material of the paper was not good at that time. Emperor Hanhe tried it out, and found that the preservation was not as good as bamboo slips, and the writing was not as good as silk, so it was not put into use, let alone ordered to manufacture on a large scale.

Therefore, the papermaking technology invented by Cai Lun was shelved and spread only in a small area.

Many people know about it, but few have used it.

So when Wang Yun said that it was much better than Cai Houzhi, the small number of people in the inner palace who had never used it immediately became interested.

Xun Chen smiled and said: "Since it is a rare and good product, with this product, it will no longer be a problem to record and write the way of sages in the future. Isn't this a great thing?"

"Xun Shangshu's words are wrong. Although this thing is good, the problem lies here." Wang Yun said with a smile, "The way of sages is the way of enlightenment, and there is a long way to go. However, this kind of paper carrying the words of sages, But it cannot be controlled in the hands of merchants and villains. A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit. Since ancient times, merchants have neglected righteousness after seeing profits, how can they get involved in the way of enlightenment?"

Although Xun Yu had thought about the way Wang Yun might make a move, he was still a little surprised after hearing these words.

That's right, he was shocked by Wang Yun's shamelessness.

Talk about benevolence and righteousness, but shut up about benevolence and righteousness, and even use dead ancient sages as targets.

But to put it bluntly, he just wanted to steal the achievements of others, but he was able to say it so grandiosely.

Seeing Wang Yun's sanctimonious face, Xun Chen suddenly felt an inexplicable agitation in his heart. If he hadn't been in the political affairs hall, he might have rushed up to give Wang Yun two big blows.

This shameless fellow is simply... even more hateful than Lin Zichu!
Tian Feng on the side couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up and said forcefully: "Shangshu Wang, the new paper was created by the Zhen family, and it is only natural that the Zhen family should open the market for sale. Besides, the new paper is only a hundred A piece of money is not a sky-high price, and it is enough to benefit everyone in the world, so why is the state government closed to the government?"

Lin Chao and Zhen Yan had an agreement long ago that the new paper would be manufactured and sold by the Zhen family, but the profits would be divided between the Zhen family and the state government.

This is equivalent to adding a large amount of income to the treasury for no reason, and it is an endless stream of wealth.You don't even need to worry about the state government, you can share the money when the time comes, Tian Feng naturally regards this business as his lifeline, so how can he allow Wang Yun to mess around.

He probably understood what Wang Yun and the other aristocratic families thought, so when he stood up, he was ready to roll up his sleeves and have a big fight with Wang Yun.

But who knows that just after finishing these words, Wang Yun shook his head and sighed: "Tian Shangshu doesn't have to be so excited, the old man is just speaking out of righteousness, since Tian Shangshu thinks it's inappropriate, then let's leave it at that. But the old man still said the same thing just now ...This thing is in the hands of merchants, so I'm afraid it's not right, even if there are some troubles, I don't know."

As soon as this remark came out, Tian Feng's face froze, as if he was struggling to punch the cotton, and then he looked at Wang Yun suspiciously.

Is this over?

The offensive that has been brewing for so long, I only refuted it, and you died down?

Although Tian Feng felt something was wrong, Wang Yun didn't bring up the matter until the next duty, as if he just said it casually.

Tian Feng had no excuse to stalk him, so he had no choice but to let it go.

After everyone dispersed, Xun Chen was not in a hurry to leave, but said to Xun Yu: "Brother, what Wang Zishi said today seems to be a little... I think he won't let it go."

"It's natural." Xun Yu nodded and said, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Wang Shangshu's actions like this may have ulterior motives."

Xun Chen sneered and said, "What he's drawing is nothing more than this new paper, brother, should we report this to Zichu and make preparations early?"

"No need." Xun Yu shook his head and laughed, "As early as the first time we inspected the workshops outside the city, Xun and Yuan Hao had left behind, just waiting for those people to show their feet.

As for Zichu..."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu turned his head and looked at his younger brother with a slightly deeper look: "Do you think Zichu doesn't know anything about this?"

"This……"

Xun Chen suddenly reacted.

With Lin Zichu's ability, from the moment these people entered Tan County, everything was under Lin Zichu's control.

The only reason why he didn't strike first was that Lin Zichu had bigger plans!
Xun Chen thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother is brilliant!"

……

Lin Chao actually didn't know about Wang Yun's and others' small actions, but even if he knew, he didn't bother to care about it.

Compared to such trivial matters as new paper, Lin Chao has been thinking about how to deal with the family since the end of the war, or not just to deal with the family, but to use thunderous means to solve or suppress the problem of land annexation in a short period of time.

As for people like Wang Yun, they were just appetizers before the feast.Under the pampering and connivance of Lin Chao, these guys will become more and more drifting, and will make mistakes, and then they can use this as an excuse to directly pull out the carrots and bring out the mud.

How should I put it, it's a bit like fishing law enforcement...

After coming to the Military Aircraft Mansion with the signatures of all the officials, Lin Chao asked the opinions of several military leaders, and immediately obtained unanimous approval.

After all, the army is different from the inner government. It does not need to deal with government affairs, foresight, or worry too much.

There is only one thing they have to do, fight!

Therefore, relatively speaking, military generals are more pure than civil servants, and they are more active in supporting Liu Bei's Jianguo as king.

After Lin Chao came out of the Military Aircraft Mansion, the signature in his hand had changed from one to two, and then he used the transportation system of the School Affairs Office to send the two signatures northward to Qingzhou.

Calculating the time, when the letter arrived, Liu Bei should have not left for the south.

It's just that Lin Zichu's name is still missing in these two signatures.

A few days later, when the letter arrived in Beihai, it happened that Liu Bei was preparing for the class.

Although Lin Chao only sent one letter, Liu Bei received two.

The other letter was sent by Xun Yu.

In the first letter, Lin Chao first presented the signatures of Xuzhou's civil and military officials, expressing that everyone supported Liu Bei's Jianguo as king, and then another letter written by Lin Chao himself.

In the letter, Lin Chao reported to Liu Bei the current situation in Xuzhou as usual, the people of the aristocratic family became officials in the inner government, and the specific matters of donating to the people of the three states.

Then Lin Chao changed his style and bluntly said that Liu Bei can be called king, but he must not give others a handle, let alone listen to the opinions of Qingzhou scholars headed by Kong Rong.

If you really want to become king, you should wait for Liu Bei to return to Xuzhou and discuss with the ministers to establish specific matters.

This letter of credit is extremely sincere, and there is not a single false word in the whole text, which made Liu Bei nod repeatedly and was deeply moved.

But after Liu Bei put down the letter and thought about it carefully, he immediately recalled it.

Lin Chao seemed to have said everything, but he didn't seem to say anything, he was completely fooling himself, and at the same time kicked the ball back.

"Zichu has always been considerate in his affairs, why is he so slippery this time..."

Liu Bei murmured to himself full of doubts, and at the same time picked up another letter.

Xun Yu's letter contains a lot of content, and there is only one core idea in the whole text-it is okay to be called a king, but not to be called a king of Qi.

The reason why it doesn't work is also very simple, because Qidi belongs to Qingzhou, which is far away from the base camp of Xuzhou.

Now that the status of Tan County's governing seat has been stabilized, if Liu Bei establishes a country in Qi and becomes king, he will inevitably move the political center from Tan County to Qi.

With Xuzhou's current financial situation, it is absolutely unaffordable.

In addition, in the past few years, a series of work in Tan County, such as repairing the city wall, consolidating the city defense, and even regulating the surrounding rivers, has achieved initial results. If the government insists on moving the government to Qi, the money invested in these years will also be wasted.

So Xun Yu suggested that Liu Bei be king in Xuzhou, or even in Donghai County, where the government is located.This is not only logical, but also saves people's resources.

After reading Xun Yu's dry goods, Liu Bei couldn't help nodding.

Now that the world is uncertain, and there is no money left in the treasury, it is indeed not suitable for tossing about.

Immediately, Liu Bei sent someone to call Guo Jia, handed him two letters in his hand, and asked his opinion.

Guo Jia finished reading it pretendingly, but cupped his hands to Liu Bei and said, "My lord, both Zichu and Wen Ruo are right. It was rude for Jia to ask Kong Wenju to submit the table earlier. Please forgive me, my lord."

Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "You have good intentions in Feng Xiao, how can someone not know, what is called a crime! But it seems that we really have to wait until we return to Tan County to talk about it.

However, I still have some concerns, and I hope Feng Xiaoyi will answer truthfully. "

"My lord, please speak."

After Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, he said softly, "Feng Xiao... If someone becomes king after founding a country, what will people in this world think of him?"

Liu Bei can disregard the opinions of other princes and think that he is also qualified to be king, but he can't ignore the people's support, and he dare not ignore it.

Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and pointed to the signatures of the officials in his hand, "My lord, isn't this the answer?"

"Of course all the officials want someone to be king, but what someone asks is the hearts of the people in the world."

"My lord should not ask Jia about this matter, but Jia Wenhe."

"Wenhe?" Liu Bei asked puzzled, "Why ask him?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "This time Kong Wenju led the crowd to submit a petition. The people of the world have already known about this, and there must be rumors everywhere. Jia Wenhe is an order of the Shuntian government and has the responsibility to guide the hearts of the people. He must be very clear about whether the hearts of the people are against him or not."

Rumors in the market have always been extremely curious, but the core represents the people's views on things.Therefore, judging from this matter, people's hearts can be quite different.

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, Liu Bei thought for a while, and then said: "In this case, let Shuntian Mansion go to understand the people's sentiments. If it doesn't support the people, it doesn't matter if you don't call yourself king."

"As ordered!"

Guo Jia cupped his hands.

Liu Bei said again: "According to the time, it's almost time. Something happened in Qingzhou, and we will go back to Tan County tomorrow."

Guo Jia hurriedly asked: "My lord, what should we do with General Zang and the tens of thousands of troops under his command?"

Although the former Fanlin Dynasty sent the family members of Zang Ba and others to Tan County, but Zang Ba was a new general after all, and he still had military power in his hands. Guo Jia was still a little worried.

So the implication of this sentence is to ask Liu Bei to move Zang Ba and his troops to Xuzhou together, and then his confidant generals will lead the army to take over Qingzhou.

Liu Bei naturally understood what Guo Jia meant, but he waved his hand and smiled confidently: "You don't have to doubt people, but you don't need to be suspicious. This time you put down the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Xuan Gao has made great achievements, and I don't want the monarch and ministers to believe it.

This time let Xuan Gao return to Tan County with us, and let him continue to guard Qingzhou after a certain person rewards a meritorious official.

If he is loyal to his duties, he will treat him as a national scholar, and it will be no problem to be named a marquis and a general.

If he harbors evil intentions in the future, I will never tolerate him! "

He has been in the upper digits for several years, and has personally commanded several large-scale battles. Even though he was born at the bottom, Liu Bei has already developed a huge aura.

Although usually careless, but this time he showed it a little, even Guo Jia didn't dare to look sideways.

"My lord is wise!"

On the second day, Liu Bei officially returned to the south as a teacher, and a group of officials from Beihai County headed by Kong Rong went out of the city for thirty miles to see him off.

Although Liu Bei returned to Tan County with Zang Ba, he left Yin Li, who was loyal to Zang Ba, to lead the army and guard Qingzhou.

Zang Ba was still a little worried that Liu Bei would take the opportunity to deprive himself of his military power, but this action can be regarded as dispelling his worries, allowing him to follow Liu Bei back to Xuzhou with peace of mind.

……

But during the period when Liu Bei's class teacher returned to the court, several vicious security cases occurred in Tan County.

There was originally only one market in Tan County, which was small and limited in variety.

But since Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, Tan County has been expanded several times, and the population has doubled. At the same time, the market has also become larger and larger, and finally developed into two markets, the East Market and the West Market.

But in the past few days, several shops in Dongshi City were attacked by thieves at night. While the goods in the shops were stolen and robbed, even the shops were burned down.

As for the buddies in the shop, more than a dozen people were killed or injured!

As the seat of Xuzhou, the law and order in Tan County has always been good. After all, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed outside the city, and no unscrupulous bandits will fall into the trap.

Therefore, when the county magistrate of Tan County first received the report, he only investigated this case as an ordinary criminal case without thinking too much about it.

But after searching, they found a major clue.

These few shops that were looted and burned are all the business of the Zhen family!
What was even more shocking was that a total of seven shops were burnt down, five of which were engaged in new paper business.

But when the officials arrived, the paper in the shop had long since disappeared, and it was unknown whether it had been robbed or burned together.
