Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that Lu Bu had improved papermaking, invented printing, and could control the cost of a book to tens of cents!
If you can really do this, then the cost of studying in the future will be greatly reduced!
Lu Bu had already seen too many people shocked by his printing skills, and knew that these scholars all had the dream of publishing a book of their own.
So he gave them another shot: "Hey, if you have time in the future, you can also print your hard work into a book and let the world spread it widely. Maybe it will be famous in history!"
Kong Rong stayed silent and said: "Marquis Wen is joking! We are just some good and talented people, how dare we publish books and biographies? Wouldn't we be ridiculed by the world?"
Lu Bu smiled and said: "You are so humble! Even if you are unwilling to make your work public to the world, wouldn't it be a good idea to print a few copies to pass on to your family, or to circulate among friends?"
"Yes, yes! Marquis Wen is still thoughtful!" Wang Xiu said with a look of fascination.
Lu Bu stretched and said, "In that case, we can happily decide on this matter!
I really can't delay any longer. I think you still need to explain the matter of Beihai, so I won't ask any more questions.
I will go back first and prepare a place for you to stay in Pengcheng.
When you have finished the things at hand, just write to me, and I will send someone to escort you gentlemen and your family to Pengcheng! "
"Marquis Wen is so thoughtful!"
A group of literati were somewhat flattered.
He chatted nonsensically with them for a long time, until the group of people were so dizzy that they were willing to give up.
That night Zhang Liao, Tai Shici and others were called together for a meeting.
First he said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi, I want to appoint Kong Rong as the governor of Xiapi, and I will also bring all his counselors and officials back to Pengcheng for training. During this period, you will be the governor of Beihai first!"
Taishi Ci smiled as if he was crying after hearing this: "My lord, I...how do I have the ability to be a prefect? You know me!"
If I were asked to lead troops into battle and charge into battle, I would not hesitate! But I really can't do it as a prefect! "
Lu Bu laughed and patted Tai Shici on the shoulder and said, "Just be in charge of the military affairs. As for the civil affairs, Kong Rong will take care of it with you.
I think the meritorious officer named Sun Shao under Kong Rong seems to be good. You can ask him to stay and help you handle civil affairs! "
(Gongcao, also known as Gongcao Shi, is the main assistant of the county guard and county magistrate. He is in charge of inspecting and recording performance.)
"Sun Shao...I understand." Tai Shici nodded.
Although Sun Shao is not inconspicuous now, although he is just a meritorious officer, he later followed Liu Yao to Jiangdong, and then followed Sun Quan. After Sun Quan became emperor, Sun Shao became the first prime minister of Soochow.
There is no future under a useless lord like Kong Rong. Now Lu Bu must reuse Sun Shao and give him a stage to show his talents.
Lu Bu said in a serious tone: "Ziyi, the reason why I let you stay is that in addition to recruiting and training soldiers, I also have one more important thing to do for you!"
"Is it important?" Tai Shici's expression became even more difficult.
Lu Bu nodded: "You also know that Beihai is the gateway to Donglai and Langya, and it is close to the plain, a land of right and wrong, so the armament cannot be sloppy!
And you also need to arrange careful reconnaissance and pay attention to the movements of Tian Kai, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at all times! "
When Taishi Ci heard that there was such an important task, he was even more afraid to accept it. He glanced at Zhang Liao and said: "My lord, I am young and inexperienced, otherwise... you can let Zhang Wenyuan be the governor of Beihai!"
Zhang Liao laughed: "My lord values you so much, how can you shirk the blame? Are you thinking about my artillery? Brother, if you tell him to keep the artillery, he will probably be willing to be the governor of Beihai!"
Lu Bu smiled and said: "This is natural, I won't take back the hundreds of artillery pieces I brought out this time!
Leave some for you to defend Beihai City, and use the rest to build a fort at Huangxian Wharf to prevent enemies from attacking at sea! "
"Really?" Taishi Ci looked surprised when he heard that Lu Bu would leave the cannon to him.
Lu Bu smiled and said: "As I said again, this kind of artillery is just overused for a while, and there will be more new weapons in the future.
As the most advanced governor, if there are any good things, you will definitely be equipped first! "
Taishi Ci became even more happy and nodded repeatedly: "Then...then I will try. If I don't do well, my lord, please don't blame me..."
After talking about Beihai, Lu Bu said to Fan Yi: "Fan Yi, the wharf in Huang County, recruit some people to repair and repair it, and we can dock more big ships if needed.
In the future, those who went overseas to catch slaves might have to go to sea from Huang County, and the voyage would be shorter.
You have also seen how to use artillery. Build some high platforms on the pier, place the artillery on the platform, and install a wooden base underneath to rotate and adjust the high and low shooting angles.
In addition, select some of Liu Yi's troops who are suitable for long-distance crossings by boat from the troops that have been recruited this time. Next time, let Wei Xu and Qin Yilu take them to Sanhan to rob people! "
"Yes!" Fan Yi replied.
Lu Bu said to Ji Ling again: "Ji Ling, you and Taishi Ci are the top two this time, you performed well!"
Ji Ling hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Ziyi commanded it well. The general just acted according to the order and did not dare to take credit!"
Lu Bu smiled and waved his hands: "Being able to act as ordered is also a credit, there is no need to refuse! Since the two of you have a tacit understanding of cooperation, now that he has become the governor of Beihai, you can become the governor of Donglai!"
Ji Ling was a little flattered and hurriedly declined: "Ji Ling has just surrendered to the lord and has not made any achievements, how can he dare to take on such an important task?
Moreover, Ji Ling is just a warrior, and I am afraid that I will let down the great trust of my lord, so I still ask my lord to make him capable..."
Lu Bu said: "You deserved the credit for annihilating Liu Yi's tribe this time, and I know it well.
And now that we have won Donglai, I think Gongsun Du will not let it go. If he brings troops to invade again, he will need generals like you to guard him.
Although you are a military commander, you are not headstrong and can execute orders very well. You have won my heart!
Just like Taishi Ci, you just focus on training the army. I will arrange people to advise you on civil affairs and give you a general outline. Just follow it. "
Seeing that Lu Bu was sincere, Ji Ling fell to the ground and said, "So... Ji Ling will try his best to live up to his lord's expectations!"
Lu Bu smiled and helped Ji Ling up and said, "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will be able to do it!
He can lead thousands of troops and horses well, and managing a county should be no problem!
In a few days, I will arrange for your family members to be sent to Huang County. "
Ji Ling was stunned again. He had thought that Lu Bu would take his family members hostage in Pengcheng like others!
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu actually offered to send his family to Donglai!
It seems that Lu Bu really trusts him!
Ji Ling couldn't help but be moved in her heart, because she said: "My lord, my mother is old and I can't bear to let her run around anymore..."
Pengcheng is peaceful and lively under the rule of the lord, and there are famous doctors like Doctor Hua and Doctor Zhang. Please let her take care of herself in Pengcheng!
As for Jian Nei and Quan Zi, let them stay in Pengcheng as if they were fulfilling their filial piety under my mother's knees for me. "
Lu Bu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Since you said so, then I will help you.
But you are in the prime of life, how can you have so few people around you to take care of you?
When the time comes, I will arrange a few more beautiful concubines for you, and you will have to balance work and life in Donglai! "
Taishi Ci and a group of others laughed strangely. Ji Ling blushed and claimed that it was true.
Lu Bu patted Ji Ling's shoulder heavily and said, "Don't worry, your wife, I will take care of it for you!"
