Liu Yu is acting according to his own plan.

In the imperial court, there is an undercurrent.

The generals are more honest, they are not very concerned about culture, and they are more concerned about the art of war, martial arts, morale and so on. Scholars are respectable in their eyes, but they have nothing to do with them.

The generals have a much more comfortable life, eating and drinking what they should eat.

Wenchen's side is different.

The role of paper and books will definitely increase the number of talents in the world. Some of the ministers began to worry. If you want to become a top general, you need to have excellent personal talent, as well as certain opportunities and net worth. Without these conditions, even if you train yourself to death, it will be in vain. The literati are different. The requirements are a bit lower than those of military generals, but the most important thing is to have enough books to study. The success rate is much higher than that of military generals.

When the court is big, everyone will have it. Some officials who eat and wait for death still exist. These people used to rely on their own family background, plus their official positions were relatively leisurely, and they had no real power, so they continued to work in their positions. After all, Liu Yu wanted to raise these people at the beginning, so that the family could feel at ease.

Now that Liu Yu has begun to dig into the roots of the family, the officials from the family realize that their future may be dangerous.

But they can't compete with the whole world. Because now that books have been promoted, anyone who raises any objections will definitely be scolded to death by readers all over the world, waiting for the stench to be left for 10,000 years.

Don't underestimate the small pen in the hand of the reader, sometimes it can kill people invisibly. The most disgusting thing is that the reader can record things and pass them on to future generations. What is called Spring and Autumn penmanship is that the author can write how he wants. Some may argue at first, but what about thousands of years later? Who knows.

It's worth affirming to live in the present, but it's not good to leave a bad reputation after a hundred years.

What's more, once you are born against it, I am afraid that you will not be able to live in the present.

Because many of today's great Confucians have openly and secretly expressed their appreciation for this feat of His Majesty today. Among them, the happiest dancer is Mr. Sima Hui, who lives from Jingzhou to Luoyang.

In Sima Hui's mouth, Liu Yu has become a wise man through the ages, and has reached the point where there is no one before or after.

This kind of sycophancy, people from families who are dissatisfied with Liu Yu can just listen to it. But the Shenwu Imperial Court has already agreed with this statement.

Do anything, unless your strength is strong, strong enough to resist all difficulties, you can do it alone. Without such a premise, allies are needed.

The Maisons wanted to oppose this policy, and looked around, only to find that there was no one who identified with them, let alone allies.

Liu Yu is happy about such public opinion, and he knows that his plan has begun to bear fruit.

Liu Yu thinks it will only take a few years for his next plan to be implemented.

Scholars are constantly buying a large number of books, businessmen are busy, and the income of Shaofu is also increasing.

Liu Yu looked at the increasing financial figures, and his heart blossomed.

That's a lot to count.

The one who admires Liu Yu the most is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao and his advisers thought that Liu Yu would make a move, but they didn't expect this action to be so big that he Cao Cao himself didn't dare to think about it.

The use of merchants as a medium to take full responsibility for the promotion of books and paper was unexpected. Shinong industry and commerce, with clear hierarchies. Merchants are the lowliest, and they are also the class that the Han court has been suppressing. Liu Yu used these people to do things, and he didn't even discuss with the Chinese martial arts.

Many courtiers had opinions, and they thought that if they let the merchants do it, then why should they be officials.

Cao Cao thought that Liu Yu would be in a bit of trouble next.

Things were once again unexpected by Cao Cao, and the ministers of the DPRK and China secretly had some opinions, but none of them dared to stand up against them.

If no one comes out to object, that means acquiescence.

Only then did Cao Cao understand Liu Yu's intentions, and the previous killing of chickens and monkeys in the early dynasty had an excellent effect. Cao Cao thought about it carefully and found that Liu Yu had been premeditated for a long time to do this. This is what surprised Cao Cao, this paper-making technique will cost a lot of financial, material and manpower and several years, Liu Yu has been arranging such a situation for many years, and it is more likely to start when the princes are combined. Now that it is so smooth, it can confirm Cao Cao's guess even more.

"Bo Xuan, this guy, his scheming is really deep!" Cao Cao gave Liu Yu such an evaluation.

And what shocked Cao Cao was still to come!

The imperial court handed over the business of selling books and paper to merchants in various states, so was Huang Chong, the richest merchant in the world, abandoned by Liu Yu in this matter?

Quite the opposite.

Liu Yu handed over the most profitable of them to Huang Chong and Li Gui and let them play freely.

Li Gui instructed his subordinates to quietly transport books, papers and other items to the Lujiang River on the border with Jiangdong, preparing to smuggle them to Jiangdong. And Huang Chong personally led the people to Hanzhong.

The situation in Jiangdong is relatively special, after the Yangtze River trade route is cut off, it is very difficult for a large number of goods to enter Jiangdong.

However, in Lujiang, there are many merchants who want to transport goods to Jiangdong, and the only way is to smuggle them over in the middle of the night. This kind of risk is very high, and every time you will encounter a patrol fleet in Koto. If one is not good, the small life will be over.

However, not everyone in Jiangdong was loyal to their duties, and Xu Cong, a military general in charge of patrolling, was bought by the merchants of Lujiang. As long as he is in charge of patrolling, then the merchant will start moving in the middle of the night.

This Xu came from a humble background and suffered a lot when he was a child. After joining the army, Xu Congcai had a full stomach. It may be that he is hungry and afraid, and he is afraid of poverty, and Xu never wants to live the same life as before, and yearns for a rich life even more. If you want to live a good life in your heart, you can't rely on the little money given by Sun Ce alone. So Xu Cong began to think in many ways.

By chance, Xu Cong discovered that merchants often smuggled goods to Jiangdong, and merchants in Jiangdong would also smuggle goods to Jingzhou and Yuzhou.

There's a lot of oil and water in it.

Xu Cong decisively tried a few times. Smuggling is to take the head and pin it to the waist to eat, and if it is stopped by the officers and soldiers, there is only one way to die. Xu Cong caught a few smugglers, and after saying a few high-sounding words, he said that he was willing to let them go, and these smugglers needed to pay some money.

How could the businessmen not be willing to save their lives, money and everything.

After going back and forth, the businessmen all knew that there was a person who was better at talking among the generals of the Jiangdong Army. In the end, Xu Cong reached an agreement with the businessmen.

The patrol fleets are all about the same, so why can the merchants recognize them?

The patrol fleet in Jiangdong will have lanterns on board. The average patrol fleet is four lanterns, but Xu Cong's patrol fleet is six lanterns. As soon as they saw the Koto patrol fleet of six lanterns, the merchants knew that their opportunity had come.

Buying is buying, but Xu Cong has to check the merchants who arrived in Jiangdong, so as not to have any accidents and his head is not protected.

Fortunately, it has always been smuggled goods, and there is not much hidden danger.

Li Gui immediately discovered this huge opportunity. If it is used well, it may be possible to use this as a breakthrough point for attacking Koto in the future.

As a result, the "shadow" spies began to spend a huge amount of money to buy it.

Under the offensive of money, Xu Cong still decisively obeyed his heart's desire.

Under Li Gui's instructions, the "dark department" spies began to smuggle books and papers to Jiangdong in the name of merchants.

And Xu Cong is a person who only recognizes money, and he doesn't know what the book and paper do, so he doesn't bother.

Cheap and usable books and paper are quietly in vogue. The "shadow" spies did not sell on the surface, but found the family in Jiangdong and sold the goods to them. As for how much the family in Jiangdong sells or what to do with it, they don't care.

It's just murderous.

When the Koto family saw such a good thing, of course they were excited. The families in Jiangdong are deep-rooted, and they have been treated much better than the families in the Central Plains over the years, and even if Sun Ce balances them, he does not dare to be as ruthless as Liu Yu. The family of Koto began to quietly sell books and paper. They were very low-key, and they were very worried about being discovered by Sun Ce.

And among them, the most profitable are the spies of the "dark department", they just take the money and leave, and they don't guarantee the after-sales problem, this kind of business is really easy to do.

Jiangdong's family thought that they had made a lot of money, but as everyone knows, Jiangdong's money continued to slowly go to the Central Plains through this smuggling channel.

In Hanzhong City, Hanzhong Taishou Huang Xu met with Huang Chong.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for many years, and what wind has blown you over." Huang Xu and Huang Chong are brothers of the same clan, while Huang Chong is relatively older.

Since Huang Xu took office as the Taishou of Hanzhong, Huang Chong has not seen Huang Xu. Huang Xu has been serving in Hanzhong for so many years.

"Brother Xian, Brother Wei brought so many people to Hanzhong today, bringing His Majesty's will." Huang Chong didn't say much, and gave Liu Yu's will directly to Huang Xu.

Huang Xu hurriedly stood up.

Huang Chong immediately said: "Brother Xian, Your Majesty has explained this matter, only you know. ”

Huang Xu hurriedly understood in an instant, Liu Yu's holy decree to Huang Chong, Huang Chong didn't know what the content was.

After Huang Chong handed the holy decree to Huang Xu, he walked a little farther away. Liu Yu confessed that only Huang Xu knew about it, so Huang Chong couldn't take a second look.

I saw that after Huang Xu finished reading it, his face moved faintly, but then he calmed down.

Over the years, in Hanzhong, Huang Xu's heart has matured a lot, and he is not as impetuous as when he was young.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm still very familiar with the Hanzhong area. As soon as you meet your needs, your little brother will definitely support you. Huang Xu said.

What Liu Yu said in the holy decree, except for Liu Yu and Huang Xu, no one knows about it.

The purpose of Huang Chong's personal visit to Yizhou was to take the opportunity to obtain some relevant information about Yizhou, so that he could send people over to do business in the future.

If it weren't for Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others as internal responses, with Liu Bei's means, it would be very difficult for the Shenwu Imperial Court to know a little bit about the situation in Yizhou.

The main road between merchants and merchants has long been burned down by Liu Zhang, and the only roads now are used to transport them by manpower.

Such a method of transportation is a last resort.

Originally, Huang Chong was thinking of transferring to Yizhou in Jingzhou. Zhang Ren and others in the eastern part of Keyizhou have been in a state of confrontation with Liu Bei, and the trade routes are different, so it is better to transport them from Hanzhong.

Huang Chong was going to explore the trade routes, but after walking halfway, he gave up, he understood that if the commercial routes to Yizhou were all these small roads, then there would not be much practical value.

Although there are risks along the way, the effects are enormous. There are still a lot of books and papers that have been sent to Yizhou.

The "Shadow Department" also sent people to notify Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Cao Bi, and asked them to cooperate secretly. Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Cao Bi did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent their henchmen to contact.

It is good to have the docking of the head snake, and the people who transported the books and papers did not encounter any obstruction from the Yizhou side.

At the same time, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng were both ready to deal with the aftermath and wiped out all traces.

Zhang Song and Fa Zheng already had beautifully packaged books before, and now that they had so many books and papers, they were both shocked. Such a good thing is actually going to be sold to Yizhou, don't you keep it for yourself?

But the "shadow" spies firmly stated that this was His Majesty's will and that there could be no objections. If Fa Zheng and Zhang Song want it themselves, they can bring them some for free.

That's a perk, guess.

Of course, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng will not be polite, since such good things can be taken out and sold, it means that there are many in the imperial court.

The appearance of books and paper once again caused the looting of the wealthy in Yizhou.

Compared to the previous scarcity, this time the quantity and supply are huge, and the price is not so expensive.

Of course, as a rising bird, it is still Cao Bi Cao's big boss.

Boss Cao has now almost given up the promising profession of the shopkeeper of the Qinglou and started selling his books and papers.

It's hard to guess how much profit will be.

Obviously, there is only one Cao Bi in the entire Yizhou, and he is in a monopoly situation, and the financial resources are naturally rolling. There are a lot of families in Yizhou, and there are a lot of local tyrants, they usually like to chant poems when they are idle, and now with these papers, they will invite three or five friends in the future, write poems and songs in the depths of the bamboo forest, and laugh and talk about life, isn't it beautiful?

Therefore, Cao Bi's new business could not be better, and money was constantly transferred to Hanzhong through Cao Bi's hands.
