In the governor's mansion.
Liu Hong flipped through a bound volume of Spring and Autumn Period.
Watching it with relish.
Sure enough, compared to the slips, the books are more pleasing to the eye.
Jia Xu stood aside, staring at the thin book in Liu Hong's hand.
"Sir, is this book bound with Luoyang paper?"
Today, only words written on Luoyang paper can be read.
However, everyone knows that paper in Luoyang is expensive.
This book is probably worth a lot of money.
Hearing this, Liu Hong shook his head.
"May I ask, sir, how much does this paper cost and what is its output?"
Seeing Liu Hong shaking his head, Jia Xu became even more confused.
He has also used Luoyang paper, not to mention the high cost.
It's not as clean and fair as Liu Hong's hands.
So he believed it, this was not Luoyang paper.
Liu Hong smiled when he heard this.
"This paper is cheap to make and can produce tens of thousands of sheets per day."
When Jia Xu heard this, his breathing became rapid and his eyes widened.
"Wen He, I heard that Mr. Cai Yong has a collection of thousands of books, and I would like to borrow his collection to make copies. What do you think?"
Liu Hongmo stroked the paper on the slip.
The paper now produced by the paper mill is white and translucent.
Although it is not as smooth as the paper of later generations.
But it won't be much different.
"Sir, Mr. Cai Yong has a great reputation, so be careful in everything you do!"
Jia Xu thought of the sad memory of being invited by Liu Hongqiang, and immediately handed it over.
"Wen He, if you are really capable, you should worry about the country!"
Liu Hong smiled and said nothing.
Instead, let people prepare horses and drive directly.
Liu Hong called Dian Wei up and went to Chenliu County together.
Chenliu County, Yu County.
Cai Yong was making tea and sitting in the courtyard, holding a volume of books in his hand.
It's so nice to enjoy the sunshine.
Previously in Wuhui, my life was frightening.
After returning, they encountered the Yellow Turban Army again.
Fortunately, the governor of Yanzhou is a capable person.
"Why does my right eyelid keep twitching?"
"Is it possible that something bad happened today?"
Cai Yong has been on the run for so many years and has great faith in these sensory feelings.
He immediately ordered his servants not to see anyone today.
Just ordered.
The servants came immediately to report.
"Master, there is someone outside the door asking to see you."
"not see."
Cai Yong closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
This guy is really not smart, let Wen Ji find someone else tomorrow.
So he thought in his mind.
But I saw that the servant had not left yet.
"Why don't you retreat?"
Cai Yong's face showed warmth.
The servant immediately fell to his knees.
"Master, outsiders claim to be the governor of Yanzhou. I don't dare to drive away."
Upon hearing this, Cai Yong looked at the trembling servant in front of him.
"Then bring it in..."
He paused just as he spoke.
"That's all, I'll go with you."
After all, the other party is the governor of Yanzhou, and Chenliu County is under the jurisdiction of the other party.
It's better to greet him in person.
He straightened his clothes and came to the gate.
"Bojie has met the governor."
Cai Yong saluted Liu Hong.
"There is no need to be polite. I am disturbing my uncle today because I have something to ask for."
After Liu Hong saw Cai Yong, he expressed his intention to come.
Although Cai Yong has a reputation, given his identity and status, there is no need to be too polite.
Being older is amazing.
"I don't know what your lord has to do, but I will do my best to do it."
Cai Yong looked at Liu Hong in confusion.
I felt secretly miserable in my heart. The governor suddenly came to my door. I'm afraid there was nothing good going on.
"Sir, please give me a brief explanation at home."
Discussing matters in front of the door is not the way to entertain guests.
Cai Yong welcomed Liu Hong, Dian Wei and others into the mansion.
in the hall.
Liu Hong took out the paper produced in the papermaking workshop.
"Bojie, according to what you said, how does this paper look like?"
"Although Luoyang paper is good, it is expensive and the output is extremely low."
Hearing this, Cai Yong looked at Liu Hong with suspicion on his face.
He was a dignified scholar, so he had nothing to say to a martial artist. He invited Liu Hong in for the sake of his status.
I just wanted to find a reason to send him away as soon as possible.
As for Luoyang paper, it was nothing new to him.
Liu Hong smiled when he heard this.
"Oh? Is it possible that your Excellency has other ideas?"
Cai Yong saw the other party's expression was different.
He picked up the paper and rubbed it in his hands for a moment, feeling dumbfounded.
This paper is smooth to the touch and white and translucent.
If it is written, it must be excellent.
But the price must also be more expensive.
"This paper is not Luoyang paper."
Liu Hong spoke calmly.
"And this paper is cheap to make. It only costs one penny to make several sheets, with a daily production of tens of thousands!"
Hearing this, Cai Yong stood up fiercely.
His face was red and his breathing was rapid.
"Do you really mean what you said?"
"It's true what I said. I came here today because I want to borrow the tens of thousands of books in Bo Zhe's house and copy them on paper."
Liu Hong was not surprised when he saw this.
After all, everyone is using bamboo slips these days.
You suddenly tell others that paper is easier to use than bamboo slips, cheaper and easier to store.
Anyone would be shocked.
Even if this person is a literary master, Cai Yong is no exception.
Cai Yong's hands trembled under his sleeves.
The collection of books is precious because they are difficult to write and preserve.
If it were replaced with paper, a collection of thousands of books, stored in one volume, could be passed down for thousands of years!
Seeing that the other party was stunned, Liu Hong directly increased his chips.
"Bojie, let's see."
He handed the book of "Spring and Autumn" that had been bound long ago to Cai Yong for viewing.
Looking at the thin book in front of me, I copied the Spring and Autumn Volume.
His scalp was numb with shock.
If this method spreads, it can be imagined how great an impact it will have on aristocratic families and the spread of literature.
That is a reputation that will last forever!
"Bo Zhe, I want to build a library in Yanzhou to collect books from all over the world."
"For the world to see."
Liu Hong thought for a moment and said.
He didn't say anything about teaching.
At first he couldn't understand what this old boy was thinking.
Secondly, the aristocratic family is deeply entrenched and needs to be taken care of slowly, not too hastily.
Hearing this, Cai Yong's expression moved slightly.
This is a wonderful move and will have merit for eternity.
He looked at Liu Hong, completely abandoning his previous contempt.
Just this piece of white paper is enough to benefit the nobles and common people in the world.
"This meritorious service will last forever. Bojie will definitely assist you with all his strength."
Cai Yong stood up and saluted with his hands in hand.
"There is one more thing, please help me."
Liu Hong looked at Cai Yong, his eyes flowing.
"As long as it's a matter of books, Bo Zhe will definitely help."
Cai Yong left a way out in his words and served as an official for many years.
He didn't want to encounter what happened before.
"There is still a vacancy for a position under my command, and it must be Bo Li."
Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and was about to refuse.
If it was a matter of revising books, he would be obliged to do so.
But, forget it if you become an official.
"Ziman, help me ask Bo Zhe to go to Changyi County."
Liu Hong had long known that this old boy would not cooperate so easily.
However, now in Yanzhou, it is not other places.
Be courteous first and then fight. You can't help but come.
"Yes, sir."
Dian Wei chuckled and looked at Cai Yong.
"well!"
"Why are you doing this, sir? Bo Zhe is willing to go with you."
Seeing Liu Hong's unquestionable expression, Cai Yong reluctantly agreed.
"Father, Wenji is also going with you."
