No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 1019 There is an old man in the family

"Isn't this a bit perfunctory?" Zhou Yu certainly understood what Sun Quan meant. You asked me not to print letter paper, so I won't print it. Can you change it to print the word "Fu"? If it doesn't make money, I will give it to the people. If you object again, it will be impolite.

But Zhou Yu knew that these people were shameless. If this continued, it would only be a delaying tactic and would not really solve the problem.

"Don't worry, the fifth brother has ordered someone to use the fast method to print Er Ya. He said it will be ready in time for the emperor's holiday gift!" Sun Quan now really likes his fifth brother more. Look, among all his brothers, the one who can help the most is the fifth brother.

After thinking about it, he shook his head again. The third son, Sun Yi, was assassinated in office in 204 AD, leaving only one son, Sun Song; the fourth son, Sun Kuang, also died just after he turned , leaving only one son, Sun Tai. And his wife, Cao, was Cao Cao's niece. It was a kind of attitude of his mother's alliance with the Cao family. So now he has only one living brother! Sun Quan thought that maybe he had to talk to the Queen Mother, or let her teach the children a lesson. For example, Sun Ce's only son, Sun Shao, has grown up, shouldn't they be allowed to work?

"A quick method?" Zhang Zhao and the others really didn't know that there was a quick method for printing.

"Mimeograph! It's what Queen Mother came up with. Use an iron pen to write on wax paper, and then apply ink. The ink will seep through the characters and then print them on the paper below. Queen Mother's seal was shown to me. It's a bit like the lost wax method. Queen Mother just loves reading. She thinks about everything more and can come up with something extraordinary." Sun Quan really spared no effort in praising Queen Mother.

Thinking about what Guo Tai said, she originally wanted to use the mimeograph method to print the word "Fu", but it turned out to be upside down. The old lady sighed, showing that she was still old and not as smart as the young people. She thought she would not be able to make it in time, but unexpectedly, Xiao Wu could immediately propose to use the mimeograph method to print the book, so that she could make it in time.

Sun Quan had already gone to check it out, because the school's printing house had been very busy preparing test papers, review exercise books, and review materials for the students. How could the petty-minded Wu Guotai and Sun Laowu hire people for this? Of course, they continued the fine tradition of Ou Mengmeng when she was a child, and if there were not enough people, the students would make up the numbers. What an easy reason to find, "In order to deepen the students' memory, it is also a reward for good students!" Only students with good grades are qualified to prepare these.

So, when Sun Quan went to see it, the school's mimeograph workshop was full of students, from engraving to printing. Because they were all taught by the same teacher, they were required to use the newly formed regular script. Then, one person typeset while the others took the wax paper back to carve the plates. Everyone worked in harmony and did it in an orderly manner!

Even Sun Quan thought these kids were so good that he sent two sheep to the school as a reward. Regardless of whether they could do it or not, he gave them a reward to express his happiness. He felt that his money spent this year was not in vain and that his teaching of these students was not in vain.

"Er Ya? Use mimeograph!" Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu really didn't know what a mimeograph was. Even though they heard Sun Quan say that, they still felt a little confused without actually seeing the real thing. Anyway, they thought it seemed very impressive.

However, they felt that if Sun Quan could say so, then he must be sure. They were a little excited at this moment. If they could print books like letter paper, would books still be expensive? If the books were really printed, how would the noble families who did not allow them to print letter paper react?

We can't stop them from printing books, right? If we do that, we will be in great trouble. At that time, it would be useless for them to call back their family members, because the situation is hopeless. However, will this intensify the conflict? This is something Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao have to think about.

Zhou Yu thought about it and bowed to Sun Quan: "My lord, how long can it drag on? If we really fall out, what will be the worst outcome?" "As for those aristocratic families, I just thought about it, they don't dare to act so blatantly! After all, this is still a chaotic world, rites and music have collapsed, and family power is actually not as strong as before. What's more, they have no reason to do so, and I have done nothing wrong. Even if they want to recall their clansmen in the army, those people are only worried about the old and young in their families. I wish there was some way to make them lose their composure." Sun Quan thought about it and shook his head, looking disapproving.

He was very satisfied with the unity of the Sun family. As for the outside world, he felt that as the head of the family, he should stand up. The family had already worked hard for him, and now it was up to him.

They were all foxes with a thousand years of experience. As soon as Sun Quan said this, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao heard the first and last eight words, "unjustified" and "disrupting their own position"! Since everyone was prepared, they didn't waste time talking about this topic.

"Then, should we also use this 'Fu' character as a gift for Jiangdong? However, this printed one doesn't seem very good." Zhang Shao smiled and picked up the printed Fu again, and said hurriedly, since we are going to give these Fu characters to the people, then should we also use the "Fu" character as a festival gift? Let's carry out the policy of rejuvenating the country through culture.

"Yes, the Queen Mother has had silk prepared, and asked me and all the adults to write together. First, it is a good opportunity for us to greet each other, and second, we can pick out the best ones and send them to various parties as festival gifts." Sun Quan was very proud that the Queen Mother had prepared all these.

The old lady had already selected the finest threads and silks, which ones could be used to make bookcases and book covers, and which ones could be used to make silk blessing stickers. She drew a picture and gave it to the needlework people in the mansion. Now the books and red silk stickers have not been made yet, but just looking at the diagram drawn by the old lady, you can tell it is right.

As for the reunion party, the Queen Mother thought that it would be too tiring and boring for him to write to all the civil and military officials in the court by himself. It would be better to gather all the civil and military officials in Nanxu together and just treat it as a reunion before the festival.

In addition to bidding farewell to each other and welcoming the new year, they also wrote the word "Fu" together, and then drew lots. Whoever drew the lot took it home and hung it on the door. At this time, there were no political enemies in the palace, only ministers in the same palace.

The unhappiness in work over the past year was just right to dispel some of it. Everyone actually wanted to do good for Jiangdong, so there should be no distinction between them. Although it is impossible for everyone to become friends after the beginning of the year, this group gathering let everyone know that they are not mortal enemies.

Sun Quan sincerely felt that having an old man in the family was like having a treasure. She really thought ahead of everything. The key point was that she always thought for him and never stood in the front. Even when she was giving medicine to the people, she did not show up and did not allow people to say that it was the request of the Queen Mother. What everyone said was that this was the goodwill of the Marquis of Wu.

The more he did this, the more Sun Quan felt that this was not right, and he always mentioned the Queen Mother, saying that it was the Queen Mother's idea. Of course, the more he did this, the more mature he seemed, and the civil and military officials also felt that he was more trustworthy.

　Wuhan may not have entered winter overnight, but it is a bit cold. My home is 26 degrees!
