"Zhang Hua pays homage to the general!"
At this moment, Zhang Hua had arrived at the place where Zhang Yi was imprisoned and bowed to see him.
Zhang Yi surrendered to Cao Wei in history, but it was different now. At that time, he surrendered because the emperor took the lead. Now he was defeated and captured, so it was naturally impossible for him to surrender.
Zhang Yi looked at the young man in front of him, unmoved.
It wasn't until Zhang Hua revealed his origin that Zhang Yifang was a little shocked.
Of course, people like them who have been separated for hundreds of years can no longer be considered relatives, not even members of the same clan.
Zhang Yi looked a little angry, "My ancestors were officials of the Han Dynasty, how dare they assist the thieves who usurped the Han Dynasty?"
Zhang Hua had no intention of refuting or arguing. He sat next to Zhang Yi and said, "You don't have to think about irritating me. This time, I am here to visit you under His Majesty's order."
"There is news from the Kingdom of Shu that your clan has not been punished. You don't have to worry about it."
Zhang Yi fell silent immediately.
Zhang Hua continued: "I am not here to persuade the general to surrender. I just want the general to know the situation at home."
"You probably have a clear view of the current situation in various countries."
"The internal affairs of Shu are in ruins. They send out troops year after year. Jiang Wei insists on going his own way. I'm afraid he doesn't have many years left."
When Zhang Yi, who had been silent at first, heard this, he couldn't help but said sarcastically: "I heard that Cao Wei's officials were extremely clear and clear, the sages in the court were in charge, the people were wealthy, and they were all called saints. How come they have not been able to defeat the Han until now?"
Regarding the issue of title, both Wei and Wu called the Shu-Han regime Shu, and Shu called itself Han. Previously, Jiang Xian asked for help from Wu, so he called himself Shu. In the records of envoys between Shu and Wu, the ministers of Shu Usually calls itself Shu.
"The world has been in chaos for many years, and it's time for unification."
Zhang Hua said calmly.
He looked at Zhang Yi in front of him again, "General, Your Majesty has no intention of dealing with you. If he takes over the Kingdom of Shu in the future, he will not easily kill its ministers and clan. This is because of the emperor's benevolence and righteousness."
"You were defeated and captured, but you did not suffer humiliation. We are also respectful to you. We also hope that the general will not seek death. Everyone in the world knows that you are imprisoned. If you are not a traitor, you will not wait too long until Shu is captured. country, maybe the general can leave here and return to his home."
Zhang Yi's face turned red, but he was speechless.
Zhang Hua then talked to him about the internal situation of Shu. Zhang Yi was shocked to find that Cao Cao knew the situation of his family very well. They even knew some things in the palace, such as Huang Hao and others.
In fact, the big families from all over the world exchange letters and send people to trade. Under such circumstances, it is quite normal for the news to leak out.
Not only the Wei State can know the situation of the Shu State, but the Shu State can also know the situation of the Wei State.
The two talked for a long time before Zhang Hua said goodbye and left.
When he left, Zhang Yi seemed to have calmed down a lot, and he didn't use bad words anymore anyway.
When Zhang Hua returned to Tai Chi Hall, the emperor and Zhong Hui had already left here.
At this moment, these two people were standing in Ma Jun's mansion.
Ma Jun led them to check the printing results. Du Yu was standing not far away, recording something.
What Ma Jun printed was the "Book of Filial Piety". When Zhong Hui saw the sheets of "Book of Filial Piety" being brought to them by Ma Jun's helpers, Zhong Hui was a little stunned in his eyes.
Ma Jun frowned and said with some distress: "If you want to use water power instead, there are still some difficulties and you can only do it with manpower."
"Put the content of the manuscript on a board and engrave it, use a carving knife to engrav the text in reverse, and remove the rest to make it dented. This is the engraving block. When printing, fill it with ink, cover it with paper, and use Just brush and stroke."
Ma Jun explained to Zhong Hui on the side, "Such a printing plate can be printed ten thousand times in a row. I have tried it. If one person works hard for a day, he can print more than two thousand sheets."
Zhong Hui was stunned.
Although printing can be traced back to very early times, its specific application still came later. Today, books are still circulated by hand.
Zhong Hui couldn't help but sigh: "You are truly a skilled craftsman in the world!"
Ma Jun shook his head, "If His Majesty hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been able to do it. Sometimes, the principle seems simple, but it's just because no one has thought of it, so it hasn't been done. Your Majesty's enlightenment is the most important, even if there is no I, Your Majesty, can do it myself.”
In front of Ma Jun, who used water power to make puppets dance, this engraving and printing technology was probably nothing.
But at this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Zhong Hui's eyes, and he looked at Cao Mao aside.
"Your Majesty, this thing is of great use!"

"Hahaha, if it's of no great use, why would I bring Shi Ji to see it?"
Zhong Hui immediately said: "This thing can extend the path of sages, transform into kings, and rule the world."
Zhong Hui already had countless ideas at this moment, such as printing books by sages, printing temple laws, printing the contents of issued government decrees, etc.
Today's books are still very important resources, especially those that have been annotated. They are the unheralded treasures of the great clan and are almost never shown to outsiders. After all, this book knowledge is the inheritance of the great clan.
Of course, the circulation of books is still higher than in the past. Now it is not like the early Han Dynasty, when books were hidden in a few people's homes and no outsiders could see them.
Many books have been promoted, and there are more and more books in private collections.
Although there are many books in the collection, they are still not easily accessible to children from poor families.
Cao Mao had a new idea at this moment. The temple actually always had its own library.
In the Pre-Han Dynasty, there were Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion, which collected many books in the world.
The Wei Dynasty inherited the system of the Later Han Dynasty and collected books in Dongguan. The second civilized emperor of the Wei Dynasty still attached great importance to books. In recent years, the Royal Library has been enriched again through various methods.
Under normal circumstances, the books in the Royal Library are treasures. Unless you are responsible for this errand or have obtained permission, you are not allowed to go in to check the information. Even if you go in to check, you are absolutely not allowed to take the books out.
For example, Huang Fumi had to get the emperor's permission to go in and check the information. Generally, most of the people who get this honor are historians, who write history by consulting a large amount of information and documents.
Cao Mao stroked his chin and suddenly asked: "Shi Ji, if I have people print Dongguan's documents, set up Tianlu in various places, and allow scholars from all over the world to come in and check it, what do you think?"
Zhong Hui looked at Cao Mao blankly, he couldn't believe what he heard.
The history of libraries in China is very long, and can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. However, this library is a royal library and has little relationship with the common people. Public libraries have to wait until the late Qing Dynasty.
Public libraries in the West were established earlier. The reason why such a thing happened is very simple.
Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, books were very valuable and therefore could not be easily given to the common people to read. What would an unscrupulous person do if he read the Art of War and the like?
After the Tang and Song Dynasties, because folk books had become prolific, with various bookstores and even private printing, there was no need for temples to set up public libraries.
But now, Cao Mao has such thoughts.
He wanted to establish China's first public library in Wei Dynasty, a place where all kinds of books could be placed and everyone could read.
This idea may seem incomprehensible to outsiders.
Books have a very high status. If the emperor doesn't hold them in his hands, why should he give them to others? ?
But Zhong Hui responded quickly. He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."
Ma Jun, who was standing not far away, said nothing, as if he hadn't heard anything, but Du Yu became a little excited.
He had only heard of emperors who took other people's books and put them into his own hands, but he had never heard of emperors who took out their own books and distributed them to the people of the world.
If you want to break the monopoly on knowledge, you must circulate books on a large scale. Of course, people from poor families or ordinary people may not become talented if they have books and no one to teach them. However, there will always be people with extraordinary talents who can Be inspired.
If there are enough books circulating among the people, scholars from poor families and common people will also have more opportunities.
For aristocratic families, opening the royal library to the public does not seem to be a bad thing. Speaking of which, it seems that they will benefit the most, as they can collect the emperor's books!
But Cao Mao didn't care about this. If he placed those books in the palace, could they still have babies?
It would be better to let these books see the light of day again, and use printing technology to promote these books to all parts of the Wei Dynasty, so that they can continue to flourish and give birth to more talents.
Du Yu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Cao Mao.
"Your Majesty is benevolent!!"
Since Du Yu and Ma Jun met, Du Yu often chatted with Ma Jun. The two exchanged experiences, elaborated on each other's ideas, etc.
Cao Mao shook his head and said calmly: "This is not a kind of kindness, and these books were not written by me."
"At the beginning, the Qin Dynasty prohibited the collection of books among the people, and kept all the books locked in the palace. Since the Han Dynasty, the collection of books among the people was no longer prohibited, but the various wealthy families valued books very much and were unwilling to let outsiders see them, so they hid them in the palace. It is very difficult for scholars with a bad background to study. I want to make books circulate all over the world, so that all good scholars can read them, and those who are determined to learn the teachings of saints can pursue them."
"This is the act of promoting the saint's way to the world."
After hearing Cao Mao's words, Zhong Hui was convinced.
Du Yu was also very happy, "In this case, why worry about the Wei Dynasty being unhappy?!"
Cao Mao smiled and said to Ma Jun: "This is all because of Ma Gong's credit. Everyone in the world says that a good name will only benefit the world, but a great road will be revitalized without merit. But now it seems that the reason why the great road can be revitalized is because of the skillful name. !”
