Liu Heng's intention was obvious. He wanted to start a debate among the various schools of thought. However, just printing this book would attract the suspicion of scholars, Confucians, and officials. Therefore, he printed the Confucian classics such as the Analects of Confucius and the Book of Songs together to divert attention.
In the next few years, Liu Heng spent a lot of money to find famous books such as Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War, Gui Guzi's Art of War, Sima Xiangju's Art of War, Tai Gong's Art of War, and even Shang Jun's Book. He printed them and kept them as military and political teaching materials to ensure that they would be passed down forever. Of course, this was all in the future.
At the beginning of the sixth month of the fifth year of Guanghe, Liu Heng used the deposit paid by those merchants to open the second paper workshop in Ji City, the administrative center of Youzhou, specializing in the production of printing paper.
After all, a book with more than 30 pages could be sold for 1500 to 2000 yuan, which was twice as much as selling paper.
Following Liu Heng, he was recommended by the Governor of Ji City. Although he was not appointed by the higher-ups, it greatly boosted Liu Heng's confidence.
This year, Liu Heng was 15 years old. He was already quite famous in the northern Youzhou and Hebei provinces. His family fortune was also in the millions.
With the money, the first thing Liu Heng did was to buy his own place and the houses on the left and right sides, preparing for Xun Yu to stay when he returned.
Ever since Xun Yu left, there had been no news of him, which made Liu Heng a little worried.
On the afternoon of the last day of June, Liu Heng guided Jiang Yao as usual. "Recite after me: One by one is one, one by two is two, and one by nine is nine!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from outside the room."Haha, Brother is so relaxed! I thought you would be busy. It seems that I lost to Jiadi again!”
"Brother Xun!" Liu Heng screamed and rushed out of the house like the wind.
Indeed, Xun Yu was still dressed like when they first met. However, his face and body were covered in dust. It was obvious that he had traveled a long distance.
Liu Heng took two steps forward and held Xun Yu's hand. At the same time, Jiang Yao's voice was heard,""Aiya! So it's Brother Jia!"
Liu Heng saw that it was indeed the little ghost Guo Jia.
The few of them entered the house and sat down. Liu Heng couldn't wait to ask Xun Yu about his experience back home.
Xun Yu smiled and said casually,""I have to admire your foresight. The elders in the clan all hope that I can participate in the recommendation and gradually be promoted to the imperial court.
Especially when I mentioned that I would come to Youzhou Province to help my younger brother, none of them agreed!
He actually said that my dear brother, who has no background or family background--Sigh, I won't talk about it anymore! Fortunately, my father agrees with me."
"What happened after that?" Liu Heng asked anxiously. Why did they let you out?"
At this moment, Guo Jia suddenly added,"Isn't that easy? It's a golden cicada's escape plan!"”As he spoke, he winked at Jiang Yao.
Xun Yu smiled at Guo Jia's playful look and said,""This is all thanks to my father.'Walk your own path and let others talk about it' was a famous saying of governance. It believed that people should persevere for their own ideals! So I escaped."
The few of them laughed heartily at the same time. Xun Yu continued," As soon as I entered Jizhou, everyone talked about my brother's name, especially that 'Liu Zhi'. I was very surprised when I saw it. It seemed that I gradually understood what my brother meant by politics and business.
And the printed " Warring States Strategy,"" The Analects of Confucius,"" The Book of Songs " and other books were great achievements since ancient times. The more people read, the more people would be enlightened. There was hope for the revival of the Great Han Dynasty!”
Liu Heng waved his hand and said humbly," Brother Xun, you flatter me. This is just the beginning. We are still far from our goal."”
Xun Yu settled down in the new house that Liu Heng had bought for him. He was also a teacher in Liu Heng's private school, recruiting outstanding youths nearby for enlightenment education. Jiang Yao was personally taught by Liu Heng.
In addition, Xun Yu also had to assist Liu Heng in dealing with business matters. Although Xun Yu looked down on merchants as a scholar, this was the only way for Liu Heng to develop. He had to put down his prejudice and try to deal with those merchants who only cared about profits.
Originally, Liu Heng planned to tell Xun Yu all the knowledge he knew, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Liu Heng thought that if he took out the knowledge that was thousands of years later, Xun Yu might not be able to accept it all. On the contrary, there would be a risk of leakage. In that case, Liu Heng's unfathomable knowledge would no longer exist.
After his paper and printing businesses were on the right track, Liu Heng followed the established development model-business first, politics later, and began his next step.
After careful discussion with Xun Yu, they unanimously agreed that in the current environment of corrupt officials and treacherous officials, it was difficult to succeed in buying officials and promoting them step by step through the normal method. Moreover, the cost of managing them step by step was quite high. It was better to go to Luoyang and rely on their strong financial resources to directly buy officials from the Emperor's favorite ten constant attendants to obtain the power of governing the border counties.
Therefore, after temporarily entrusting Youzhou's business to Xun Yu, Liu Heng brought the latest printed books, high-quality paper, and a large amount of money to Luoyang under the protection of a few servants who knew some martial arts.
Out of Ji City, Liu Heng disguised himself as a cloth merchant and carefully traveled south. After Fanyang, he entered the territory of Zhongshan State in Jizhou. As there was no looting by the Wuhuan people here, the road was relatively safe and there was no need to rush.
After resting for two days in Wangdu, he continued his journey south, passing Lunu, Wuji, and entered the border of Changshan.
When Liu Heng found out that the path ahead was the same as Shin Tsubasa of Changshan, he was inexplicably excited.
This was because in that era, Liu Heng was like most of the fans who loved the Three Kingdoms. He had a special appreciation for Zhao Yun, and there were countless topics about Zhao Yun. Some even researched that Zhao Yun was very likely a woman!
Now that there was an opportunity, he naturally couldn't miss it. However, he didn't know what this Zhao Yun was like. Liu Heng entered Zhending Mountain with doubts.
Most of the villages they encountered along the way had members of the Path of Peace. They moved secretly and often left the village in groups of three or five. They would disappear for more than a month before returning. They would mention the various benefits of the Path of Peace to everyone they met. Their descriptions were exactly the same as Dong Fangcheng's. From this, one could see how large the Road of Peace was.
Along the way, one could see lush forests, patches of light green grass, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. It was not an exaggeration to say that this place was a paradise on earth. There was no pollution at all.
"The Three Kingdoms Era is much better than my era. Look at the trees here, the official roads in the forest, the birds chirping everywhere, and the fragrance of flowers. The environment is really amazing!”
Liu Heng thought. Just as he was enjoying the beautiful scenery by the roadside, a figure suddenly flashed in the bushes on the left front.
"Glycosides!" Suddenly, a shout was heard, and a dozen or so people rushed out of the forest. All of them wore black scarves and had ferocious expressions.
"This is bad! He had encountered a tribulation path. What should he do? I don't know martial arts! If I had known earlier, I would have hired a few bodyguards!" Liu Heng thought to himself, but he couldn't show any fear on his face.
Liu Heng raised his head and replied at the top of his voice,"Glycoside your head! I can tell from your looks that you are here to rob me. Don't worry, I don't have any money here, not even my life! Brothers, go!"
Liu Heng shouted to the servants," Kill one, 5,000. 10,000 for each captured alive!"
Hearing such a high reward, these servants really used all their strength." There will definitely be a permanent husband under such a great reward!”Liu Heng thought.
