Chapter 97: The Upcoming Battle of Guandu, Unifying the North!!
The next day, Xu Du.
Cao Chen was taking Sable Cicada and Cai Yan to learn to write, and on top of the case was placed a white paper, which was made by the papermaking technique that the system had rewarded a few days ago.
Cao Chen directly passed this papermaking technique to two craftsmen who selected a clean family and began to manufacture it in a mansion in Xudu City.
Just took the finished product today, Cao Chen directly let Cai Yan and the sable cicada try it first, after all, it was not strange to see a lot in the previous life.
Sable Cicada and Cai Yan are very happy, grinding and lifting the pen, the ink does not spread on the paper, which is very convenient when writing.
The two women were very happy to write, and just as the two women were about to pester Cao Chen to write, a guard outside came to report, and Cao Cao summoned the discussion.
Cao Chen bid farewell to the two daughters and rushed to the Cao Mansion with a few newly made papers, and everyone in the council room had gathered, and Cao Cao asked with a smile.
“Zi Zhan, what is the white thing you are taking, I heard that you are busy with this these days.”
Everyone’s eyes fell on Cao Chen, with a slight doubt, Cao Chen handed one to Cao Cao and spread the rest, and said with a smile.
“Father, this is a new type of paper that I sent someone to develop, which is different from the previous paper that is yellowed and cannot be written.”
“After this book is written, the ink will not spread, and it can be preserved for a long time, which is very practical.”
“And the cost is low, as long as there are enough people, it can expand production and spread it to the states and counties.”
When Cao Chen’s voice fell, everyone’s eyes showed shock, looking at the exquisite paper in his hand, some couldn’t let go.
Cao Cao still had a prepared pen and ink inkstone on the side of his case, and Cao Cao couldn’t help but take the pen and write a few words, and the smile on his face was even greater, and he said aloud.
“Zi Zhan, this paper you developed will definitely benefit readers all over the world, and it is really a great achievement!”
After speaking, Cao Cao looked at Cao Chen, the color of relief in his eyes was deeper, and Guo Jia’s eyes were shining and correct.
“Shizi should not be so simple to do this, if this paper is of good quality and low price, there will be more readers in the world.”
“And the family that originally monopolized knowledge and books will be impacted, which should be the purpose of the world!”
As soon as Guo Jia’s words came out, not only Xun Yu and the others, but Cao Cao also looked at Cao Chen with a surprised face, but saw Cao Chen nodded and said with a smile.
“Feng Xiao is right, the family monopolizes knowledge and the price of books is high, and ordinary people’s homes cannot afford to read books at all.”
“In this way, more and more people from families who study and become officials, and there will be fewer and fewer people who read.”
“The final result must be predictable, there are many people from families in the officialdom, and if they collude, it will be the officials who force the people to oppose.”
Cao Chen’s words penetrated deep into the hearts of Cao Cao and others, and the fact was that every time there was turmoil, it was the people who were not happy.
In the final analysis, it is that the people cannot contact and know, they cannot step into the officialdom, and the people of the family are greedy and oppress the people.
When the people cannot afford to eat, of course, they will rise up, and if there are officials who come out of the cold or common people, they are more sensitive to the people’s feelings.
Although not absolutely, it is at least much better than the monopoly of the family, Cao Cao said after a slight groan.
“Zi Zhan, when you promised a million Qingzhou Yellow Turbans before, you mentioned that they would have books to read, and part of your confidence is also from this paper!”
“As a result, there will be a lot of cheap books pouring in, and the Maison will have a lot less to do to make money and attract talent.”
“But it’s really time to rectify the family, there is a change in Jizhou, and many families in the places under my jurisdiction are already ready to move.”
When he said the end, Cao Cao’s tone was already slightly chilly, and everyone’s faces were a little solemn.
Cao Cao summoned them over, presumably because of this, and after receiving Cao Cao’s eyes, Jia Xuan stood up and said.
“Yuan Benchu’s battle in Youzhou is nearing the end, and Gongsun Zhan’s soldiers are defeated and held in the city, and I am afraid that they can only hold on to writing for a long time.”
“And Yuan Benchu’s hole card for defeating Gongsun Zan is eight hundred halberds, all wearing heavy armor and holding halberds, well-trained, and amazing combat strength.”
“Most of Youzhou has fallen into Yuan Benchu’s hands, but there is still grain and grass being dispatched in Jizhou and Qingzhou, and Yuan Benchu wants to use troops against me and others.”
Jia Xuan stopped here when he said this, and everyone could naturally understand the meaning, but Cao Chen looked relaxed and said with a smile.
“Yuan Benchu’s next target is me and wait, this has long been expected, but it is certainly not now, it will take a long time to recruit soldiers and horses and distribute grain and grass.”
“And the training of Qingzhou Yellow Turban has already paid off, and when he fights against Yuan Benchu, he will definitely be able to catch him off guard.”
“Now Yuan Benchu sent people to contact the family, just to make our grain and grass unsustainable, but he must have miscalculated.”
Everyone’s faces suddenly relaxed, they had stockpiled a lot of grain before, and without the help of the family, they could also solve the problem of grain and grass.
If the family directly started the incident, there would be no need to worry, Jinyiwei is not vegetarian, Jia Xu continued to add.
“Another battle took place in Xuzhou, and Liu Xuande wanted to lead the troops to evacuate and rushed to Jingzhou to join Liu Jingsheng.”
“The news came from the undercover agent lurking in the black-clothed guard, and under the orders of Shizi, it reached Lu Fengxian’s ears.”
“Lü Fengxian led an ambush and defeated Liu Xuande’s remaining more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but unfortunately, Liu Bei ran away with more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.”
After Jia Xuan finished speaking, he sat down, and everyone looked at Cao Chen’s face a little strangely, Liu Bei’s embarrassment from the history of the stabbing of Yizhou to the present was all from Cao Chen’s hands.
However, everyone still admired this Liu Bei’s escape ability, which really cannot be underestimated, Guo Jia said after thinking a little.
“Now that Xuzhou is in the hands of Lü Fengxian, we must prevent Yuan Benchu from sending people to contact him, and while I wait to fight with Yuan Jun, run out to fish in troubled waters.”
“Lü Fengxian is a man of good fame and fortune, although Chen Gongtai is on the side to contain him, if nothing happens, Yuan Benchu will induce Lü Fengxian to send troops with heavy profits.”
“Lu Fengxian was able to kill his father and join the Dong thief for the sake of Chitu and the future, and this time must be no exception.”
Guo Jia’s words fell, everyone was a little silent, Lv Bu is such a person, Cao Chen said in a low voice.
“Lu Fengxian is not enough, Chang’an and Shouchun still have soldiers and horses that have not yet been used, so this time it will come in handy.”
“Shouchun harvested and surrendered to train Yuan Jun’s soldiers and horses, which can be used as infantry, and Chang’an training is Liangzhou iron cavalry, which can block Lü Bu’s and state iron cavalry.”
“From the strength of the troops, I am already worthy of Yuan Jun, and my secret strength can catch Yuan Shao by surprise.”
Cao Chen paused slightly when he said this, and smiles appeared on everyone’s faces, and Cao Ying was not afraid of one enemy and two.
Coupled with the fact that now that Yuan’s army has won a great victory, and miscalculated the strength of Cao Ying, it will definitely be a little rebellious and underestimate the enemy.
Yanzhou can also evacuate, boosting Yuan’s arrogance, and with mental calculation, it will definitely win a big victory, Xun Yu added.
“Previously, I wanted to send some potatoes to Chang’an to grow grain, and under the secret cultivation of Zhongde’s zilian, there was also some grain.”
“I can afford to delay this big battle with the Yuan army, but the Yuan army has successively conquered, and if it is time, it will fall into decline.”
“As long as I can’t wait for defeat, I can make Yuan Jun hurt his vitality greatly, not to mention the possibility of me waiting for this trip to win is extremely high.”
Yuan Shaoji’s subordinates wanted to launch a general attack while Cao Ying was weak, but they had been fighting for a long time and consumed a lot of money and food.
Even if there are many families who have invested and sponsored, there will eventually be a time when it is exhausted, Cao Cao nodded, and finally said.
“In that case, start arranging for your subordinates to prepare for battle, if Yuan Benchu comes to attack with this move, he will definitely have no return.”
“No!”
Everyone answered in unison, leaving to arrange matters, and Cao Chen stayed with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took the paper from Cao Chen and began to write, while Cao Chen grinded on the side, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Seeing Cao Cao’s dragon flying and phoenix dancing, the handwriting was still flowing and beautiful, and Cao Chen’s mood gradually calmed down.
After a long time, Cao Cao put down the pen in his hand, looked at Cao Chen with burning eyes, and said seriously.
“Zi Zhan, the paper you sent to develop will definitely be able to cause a huge impact on the family, are you ready?”
“The princes of the world have many families, and they sponsor in the back, and even there are many in my camp, which is a huge force.”
“If I make a large amount of paper into books, not to mention manpower, the opponents I will meet in the future will definitely have the support of many families behind me.”
Cao Chen looked solemn, this problem has naturally been thought of, but it still has to be done, otherwise after winning the world in the future, it will be a big end.
As a result of the family controlling the government of the dynasty, it is inevitable that there will be collusion between officials and oppression of the people, and it will be difficult for the national strength to further develop.
“Father, after the battle with Yuan Benchu, I will be able to unify the north, and Lu Fengxian in Xuzhou is just a beam-jumping clown, which can be destroyed at will.”
“At that time, I can promote potato crops later, so as to win the hearts and minds of the people, and our strength will be further developed.”
“At that time, I can print paper into books and spread it, and when the children grow up, the family will not have enough evidence.”
Cao Chen paused slightly when he said this, took out a small seal from his arms, and continued in Cao Cao’s confusion.
“The cost of paper is cheap, and the most labor-intensive is copying books, but I can improve it later, just like this seal.”
“As long as I wait for the stamps of commonly used characters to be selected and engraved into woodblocks to print books directly, the efficiency will be much improved.”
“At that time, a large number of low-cost books will spread to the people, and the readers of the world’s cold doors and ordinary people will become the backing of me and others.”
Cao Cao listened to Cao Chen’s description, surprised and at the same time with a hint of relief, a smile on his face, and said peacefully.
“Zi Zhan, don’t worry, for the father also want to see what will become of this world?”
