Chapter 310: Printing
"Dian Wei, summon the six Shangshu, the prime ministers of the two provinces, and the servants and the officials of the middle and small sizes, and let them go to the hall of the Wei Mansion, and there is something to announce later."
After retiring from the court, Cao Cao walked outside the palace amid the flattering smiles and greetings of various officials, and instructed Dian Wei, who was following behind him.
After arriving outside the palace, Dian Wei rode a fast horse towards the mansions of various officials and announced Cao Cao's orders, but Cao Cao, who was also on the carriage, did not return to the Wei Mansion as soon as possible, but went to another place.
In addition to the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Cao Cao's stay in Yanzhou, Chen Du encountered war, and the subsequent commemorative year can be described as incomparable peace, and the time brought by a few years is that Chen Du is far more prosperous and rich than other counties in the world at this time.
There are so many people in Chendu that it almost blocks the streets of Chendu, the cries of all kinds of vendors, the voices of the people asking for advice, and even the various voices of women in the green building echo in the sky of Chendu, and Chendu at this time is like a prosperous age.
Looking at Cao Cao through the car window, a look of relief and satisfaction flashed away, not only because of the prosperity of Chen Du, but also because, up to now, there has been no illegal action on the road of Chen Du, just this not only proves that Jia Xu, the secretary of the criminal department, is attentive, but also makes Cao Cao feel gratified.
"Your Majesty, it's already here."
An ordinary carriage stopped in front of a house that also looked unremarkable, and Cao Cao, dressed in a black crown robe, stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the house.
This seemingly ordinary house on the surface is actually the workshop founded by Cao Cao, which gathers craftsmen from all over the world, and the purpose of Cao Cao's visit this time is precisely for the divine weapon that can disintegrate the family.
It was Cao Cao's first thought after he walked into the house. Compared with the calm surface, in the workshop, there are countless strong men with arms in some directions, holding iron tools. Constantly beating, in some directions, accompanied by the sound of hot air rising, a cold and shining ring head knife, was born from it, a prince's costume Cao Cao. His entry did not disturb the place.
"Big" "Don't make noise, go, don't disturb them." ”
Glaring back at the soldiers behind him, Cao Cao continued to walk inside with a smile, and after passing by the hot arsenal, Cao Cao came to a place next that was full of people.
Craftsmen of different ages, but they were all the same, disheveled, and disheveled. At this time, they were arguing loudly and loudly, and after the quarrel was over, they were able to quickly calm down and put those things that came out of the quarrel into practice, but like the previous military workshop, the people in this workshop also didn't notice Cao Cao at all.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know that the monarch is here, and he has missed the distance. Please forgive your sins! ”
Liu Ye, who got the report from Sergeant Cao and came in a hurry, suddenly sweated on his face when he saw Cao Cao who was standing outside the door without anyone to greet him. Full came to Cao Cao's side and saluted.
Liu Ye didn't know whether it was intentional or undoubtedly loud, so that everyone present looked over, and when they saw Liu Ye saluting to Cao Cao, these craftsmen who were immersed in their own world were stunned at first, and then some craftsmen whose brains were spinning fast obviously understood. He knelt down in a panic and shouted, "See Wei Gong!" ”
"Wei Gong? See, see Wei Gong! ”
Looking at the craftsmen who all fell to their knees at once, Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand and said, "Get up, Gu said today, just to see, you don't have to worry about Lone, what to do or what to do." ”
Seeing that all the craftsmen present looked at each other, but no one obeyed the order, Liu Ye was a little anxious in his heart, and he was afraid that Cao Cao would be angry and take their lives, so he roared angrily: "Don't thank you soon, and then go down quickly!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers (small) and others will retire!"
Due to Cao Cao's initial policy of granting honorary official positions to outstanding craftsmen, these resignations can be described as extremely complicated.
"Ziyang, you're a little too worried, okay, don't say much, you should understand what Gu is talking about today, take Gu to see."
Feeling Cao Cao's smiling gaze away, Liu Ye wiped the sweat on his forehead, and saluted Cao Cao respectfully: "Yes, please follow the ministers." ”
Following Liu Ye's footsteps, I don't know how many times, Cao Cao came to a place that seemed a little dim, Liu Ye took a step forward and said to the Cao soldiers guarding both sides of the gate: "This official is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and today I am ordered by the king to lead the king to come here and open the door quickly!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldier Cao who was guarding in front of the gate had seen Cao Cao behind Liu Ye as early as the beginning, so after hearing this, without the slightest hesitation, he let go of the figure and opened the gate at the same time.
"Your Majesty, please!"
"Well, let's go."
Cao Cao nodded, followed Liu Ye and went into the room, only to see that in the room, there were more than a dozen craftsmen at this time, who were concentrating and didn't know what to do, the curious Cao Cao stepped forward and looked over.
"Okay, okay, Ziyang, you still have you, you really didn't disappoint Lone, okay!"
Seeing the things that those craftsmen had made with concentration, the squares that were presented one by one, marked with different Chinese characters, which could be arranged together, or shuffled, and rearranged together, Cao Cao's eyes were shining, and joy hit his face, and he shouted loudly.
Each of the four great inventions of ancient China has influenced the direction of the whole world, such as the compass, gunpowder, and papermaking, but the most important of them is printing.
If there is no printing technology, then even if human beings make paper, it is not easy to retain knowledge, and in the same way, without enough knowledge, the progress of human society is an attic in the sky, and it is impossible to do so.
It can be said that among the four great inventions of China, the greatest impact on the whole world and the entire human civilization is not the compass, not papermaking, not gunpowder, but printing! (To be continued.) )
