Thank you Brother Zhang Sanfu for your tip!

After the edict of tax reduction and exemption, half of the time for this deliberation has passed, and at this time Cao Cao also began to direct things to the topic, looking at Liu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was sitting below, Cao Cao's eyes flickered slightly, and said with a smile: "There is another thing that is the reason why you have come to the Qing family early today, the Ministry of Works, and then I will talk about it." ”

Liu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was stunned, but immediately he thought of the things made during the period of time when Cao Cao stayed when he was still in the workshop, and what Cao Cao said on the journey he had just come here, which seemed a little inexplicable to him at that time.

Thinking of what Cao Cao said about getting ready, Liu Ye was not stupid, and his mind turned to the reason why Cao Cao arrived at the workshop today, and the joy he felt when he saw the thing called printing.

Liu Ye, who understood what Cao Cao wanted to say, no longer hesitated, got up and strode to the top of the main hall, and saluted Cao Cao with a jade in his hand: "The minister is ordered!" ”

After stretching out his hand and bowing, Liu Ye straightened up, looked at the civil and military forces that were doing left and right, and said loudly: "Ministers, I am favored by the king, and I am awarded the post of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the function of the Ministry of Industry, I dare not forget it for a day, trust the authority of the king, the mercy of God, to this day, the Ministry of Industry under my command, there is finally a thing that the king has always wanted to see, it is the appearance of the world, this thing is called printing, the minister hereby brings this thing to the king today, congratulations on the victory of the Northern Expedition, and unify the north!" ”

"Typography? What is it? ”

"Could it be that those people in the Ministry of Industry have come up with something new and want to bewitch you?"

"The situation is still unclear, so it's better to wait and see what happens."

“”

Liu Ye's words, so that after the civil and military affairs were in an uproar at first, they were all thinking about it, although they didn't understand what printing was, but since Liu Ye said that it was dedicated to the monarch by the Ministry of Industry, then whether it was to give Liu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, face, or not to embarrass Cao Cao. Because of the anger, coupled with their own curiosity, these civil and military people just watched quietly and did not say anything.

"Huh. It seems that you still have some incomprehension about this thing, the Ministry of Industry, let you talk about the efficacy of this thing. ”

Seeing His Royal Highness Wen Wu quietly and quietly, this did not meet the expectations in Cao Cao's heart. With no choice, Cao Cao could only go into battle in person and cooperate with Liu Ye to perform this double reed.

Liu Ye, who was originally a little nervous because he did not have the cooperation of civil and military forces, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Back to the king, the method used by my Chinese ancestors to chronicle is to engrave and write words on rock walls, leaves, animal bones, stones, bark and other things, this method not only takes a lot of time, but even passes with time. The changes of everything in the world, these recorded things, gradually disappear, I don't know how many precious allusions, just because of this! ”

All the civil and military officials present, especially the civil officials, nodded, for Liu Ye's words, they can be said to have a close relationship, those dissipated allusions, classics, but they are civil officials or literati in their hearts.

Seeing that the civil and military forces present were gradually mobilized, the pressure in Liu Ye's heart became lighter. The next voice gradually became louder: "It was not until the establishment of the Xia Dynasty that the bamboo slip record replaced the original object record, and this recording method has continued to this day, but even the bamboo slip record is compared to the earliest object record. It is more convenient, but it is also time-consuming and laborious, and at the same time, there are very few things that can be recorded in a bundle of bamboo slips, if it is really too much. The trouble caused by so many bamboo slips is even more obvious. ”

The appearance of bamboo slips, although the end of the early Chinese natural recording method, so that the Chinese civilization and further development, but the same, the inconvenience brought by the bamboo slips is also obvious, the size of the bamboo slips is small, the things that can be recorded on it are also not much, the content of a book in later generations, put on the bamboo slips, may be enough to dozens of bundles of bamboo slips, it can be said that it is very inconvenient and difficult to move.

Now the so-called family in the collection of thousands of volumes of books, is not the later generations of books, but bundles of bamboo slips, these tens of thousands of bamboo slips, if really replaced by books, in fact, not more than hundreds.

"There are so many things that Qing has done, and I guess that the items that Qing has offered today can solve this dilemma?"

Cao Cao's faint words made the eyes of the civil officials present light up, and they all looked at Liu Ye with anticipation, and Liu Ye did not disappoint, and said with a slight smile: "The king is wise, it is exactly like this, this thing that the minister offers today, combined with the Cai Hou paper made by Cai Hou in the past, can generate a thing, called a book, this thing is not only a book of rites made by printing technology and Cai Hou paper, but also please take a look!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Dian Wei behind him, and Dian Wei, who got Cao Cao's signal, strode to the bottom, and turned around and handed it to Cao Cao with the book in Liu Ye's hand.

Although he once again touched this product made by himself and the craftsmen in the workshop, Cao Cao's heart was inevitably excited, because this object not only represents that the Han culture will be installed with a pair of wings from now on, and the inheritance of the Han culture will be clearer and smoother, and it also represents the arrival of one of the factors in the collapse of the family.

Turning the book open, although the pages in it look sallow and a little ugly compared to the snow-white pages of later generations, the real order of the unique checkered characters of Han culture makes this book, which can be called the first book in the world, look extremely beautiful in Cao Cao's opinion.

Closing the book, Cao Cao handed it to Dian Wei, looking at the civil and military officers below who were extremely curious, but had to be forced to press down because the book was in their hands, Cao Cao chuckled and said: "Dian Wei, give this thing to you to watch." ”

"On orders!"

Dian Wei bowed his head, respectfully took the Book of Rites in this Confucian scripture from Cao Cao's hand, and passed it to the bottom, and finally took over this book from Cao Cao's hand.

Compared with the military generals who were just curious, those civil officials looked at the upright fonts on the books without the slightest error, and they were in an uproar. (To be continued.) )
